Subject: Agenda Item 5 – GoOregon Project for a Transportation Funding Package
Discussion: The Governor’s office is asking that citizens, employers, non-profit organizations, community leaders and transportation advocates from across the state call for state policy makers to take bold action during the 2017 Legislative Session and take immediate action to increase the investment necessary to maintain and enhance Oregon’s transportation system. In response to this call for action, a project, called “GoOregon”, is gathering support from around the state for a bold transportation package.
GoOregon’s website notes that “Oregon’s robust transportation system has served the state well, but aging infrastructure and rapid growth have put at risk our ability to remain economically competitive, meet long-range greenhouse gas emission goals, as well as simply get to and from work or school. With smart investments today, we can create the kind of transportation system Oregon deserves – one that will support healthy and livable communities, improve safety and reliability, increase freight mobility and efficiency, and ensures our economy continues to create good paying jobs throughout the state.”
While the project is not drafting a transportation package and is not setting forth any specific provisions for one, the project mentions three major areas of concern and what is needed under each: Maintenance and Seismic Preparedness; Congestion; and Transit.
MAINTENANCE & SEISMIC PREPAREDNESS
With billions of dollars invested, our transportation system is too valuable to let fall into further disrepair. Concerns about the seismic resilience of our state’s transportation infrastructure are not limited to our coastal communities. To be prepared, Oregon needs a resilient transportation network that provides critical evacuation lifelines and supports long-term economic stability and recovery. $324 million of new revenue invested each year could adequately maintain a state of good repair on bridges and pavement. An additional $257 million invested each year could complete the Seismic PLUS plan within 20 years, addressing 718 vulnerable bridges and 1,185 potential landslide zones.
CONGESTION
Metro-area congestion impacts the economic vitality of communities around the Attachment C
state, making it harder to move goods in an efficient and reliable manner, get people to and from work, and safely transport children to school. We must eliminate highway bottlenecks, develop freight network alternatives and pursue transportation demand management strategies. $250 million invested each year could address 10 of Oregon’s biggest bottlenecks within 10 years.
TRANSIT
Oregonians increasingly view transit as a critical tool to help workers, seniors, students, and people with disabilities move around their communities. Transit is critical to our growing tourist economy, and helps businesses recruit a talented and diverse workforce. Providing transit options also helps reduce carbon emissions from transportation. $108 million invested annually could meet the basic mobility needs of seniors and people with disabilities, help close gaps in service, and better leverage federal funds. An additional $25 million invested annually could complete 55 miles of new bikeways, shoulders and sidewalks each year, complete 50 street crossings, and provide traffic safety education for all graduating elementary students.
Action Recommended: Consider approval of the Governor’s request to support the GoOregon project.

OMPOC Support for 2017 Transportation Funding Package
The Oregon MPO Consortium (OMPOC) calls for the Oregon Legislature to be truly visionary for all of Oregon in crafting a transportation package in 2017. It is important that the efforts not only provide support for the state’s transportation system in the near term, but also create a solid and lasting foundation for ongoing support.
OMPOC feels that not only is the need obviously great, but that the time is right to raise additional sustainable revenue to support all modes of transportation in Oregon. Consideration needs to be given to a full spectrum of measures, not just traditional highway or gas tax approaches. Revenue sources that support: highway and road improvements, operations, and maintenance; transit capital and operations; bicycle and pedestrian improvements; and special needs transportation must all be part of the mix.
Points for Consideration To accomplish even a subset of the initiatives listed below, it is clear that new revenue is necessary. There are established funding sources that should be increased, such as the gas tax. Be bold – do as many other states in the nation have already done in recent years, front-load a significant increase of at least X cents (see text below) per gallon to the state gas tax to address the backlog in need just in the area of maintaining and preserving our existing transportation assets. A slow incremental increase in the gas tax may only end up finding the state falling further behind. Furthermore, index the state gas tax to inflation.
At the October 7 OMPOC meeting, a potential proposal of 30 cents per gallon was discussed, with a specific allocation of funding as follows: 10 cents per gallon for seismic resiliency tied to predetermined list of projects; either sunset or transfer to other needs when seismic needs are met 10 cents per gallon for rebuilding of lost purchasing power 5 cents per gallon for city/county funding split by population or road miles for preservation/maintenance or other local need 3 cents per gallon for ODOT for projects of state or regional significance 2 cents per gallon to provide for match for major federally funded projects to support significant economic development
1. Prioritize Safety and Universal Access. It is important to prioritize safety and universal access to the transportation system above and beyond reducing congestion or any other consideration. We would like to see cost effective investments that focus on increasing mobility of people in an equitable manner. There should be more of an emphasis on, and support for, the Mayor’s Challenge, Vision Zero, complete streets, and ADA improvements. 2. Transit funding. We would like to see increased support for stabilizing and fully funding transit operations as well as for providing funds for new system build out and paratransit services. It should also include funding for expanding accessible services, especially with the aging population in Oregon. Such funding should also recognize transit’s contributions to roadway congestion reduction. 3. Support increasing investment in programs, such as Safe Routes to School, which create safe walking and biking access to schools. Not only is continued support for programs such as Safe Routes to School important, we would also like to suggest expanding such programs to include middle school and high school students to reflect the needs of our local communities. 4. Support for Freight Rail. There should be more emphasis in supporting freight rail. Freight rail presents significant opportunities for improving the movement of freight in Oregon, which is vital to Oregon’s economy, while at the same time providing congestion relief on the state’s highways.
Page 1 of 2 5. Support for Passenger Rail. There should be more emphasis in supporting passenger rail. It is an essential component of moving Oregon’s transportation system efficiently into the future as the state, and the west coast corridor, grows. Passenger rail is also a vital part of economic development throughout our region. 6. Support investments in community bicycle and pedestrian improvements. It would greatly benefit local communities if the funding eligibility for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure could be expanded beyond existing “in the right of way” constraints to also include projects that are adjacent to and beyond the right of way. 7. Jurisdictional transfers. This topic needs to be explored by local jurisdictions along with the state to ensure that the level of funding would be adequate to make the arrangements work from the local perspective. Adequate funding is critical; funding needs to cover costs to modernize and maintain the facilities in question. We suggest considering dedicating 1 cent per gallon of the state gas tax to funding jurisdictional transfers. 8. Inter-city Transit. Intra-city transit is often the focus of transit discussions at the state level, but inter-city transit improvements are just as often overlooked. There is a need for metropolitan areas across the state to maintain and expand robust inter-city and intra-city transit services. 9. Transit Student Youth Pass. Funding for a comprehensive transit student youth pass is a proven and cost effective approach to serving the transportation needs of this demographic, supporting increases in graduation rates, reducing reliance on the automobile, and creating a safer and more secure transportation option for students. 10. Improve Efficiency and Coordination in the Provision of Special Transportation Services. The state estimates that between ODOT, DHS, and OHA, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually providing special transportation services, with significant opportunities for improving coordination and efficiency among providers. The opportunities for improving the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and service to the end users in this area should be emphasized in the Legislature’s deliberations. 11. Environmental Stewardship: Provide Funding to Address Air Quality Concerns and Achieve Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals. Environmental Stewardship should be a leading element to direct transportation investments and priorities across Oregon. We ask that the legislature create a matching fund to provide state dollars on a one-to-one basis to augment the federal CMAQ funding for addressing air quality concerns in the state. 12. Direct more Funding and Authority to Local Communities. There are diverse needs and priorities. Let local communities choose more often where to invest as long as there is proven efficiency, such as prioritizing projects that accomplish multiple goals. ODOT should provide more flexibility in design standards and more local authority in the process for establishing speed limits to be able to accomplish local safety and mobility goals. 13. Prioritize Seismic Preparedness. Funding for seismic upgrades for lifeline transportation routes should be a priority. In addition to these infrastructure improvements, it is vital that ODOT communicate with emergency response professionals which routes have been designated as high priority seismic lifeline transportation routes. 14. Pave the way for true and rapid innovations in transportation revenue generation such as implementing Pay-As-You-Drive concepts. The state should prioritize and accelerate a program for full implementation of pay by the mile for high efficiency vehicles. New federal legislation (the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation, or FAST, Act) provides incentives for states to do so.

October 2016 Program overview and initial data report
An overview of the City of Bend Growth Management’s count program and a comparison of traffic volumes in Bend for Spring and Summer 2016.
Program Director: Nick Arnis [email protected] Program Technician: Jovi Anderson [email protected] Bend Count Program Bend Count Program
PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND INITIAL DATA REP ORT
The City of Bend Growth Management department is in the process of developing a multimodal transportation count program with the following goals:
The count program should be easy to implement with minimal staff time required for maintenance or data manipulation. The data should provide mode split (Vehicle/Bicycle/Pedestrian) information. Locations for data collection should be selected to allow for corridor trend analysis as well as regional analysis. Locations for data collection should be developed systematically rather than randomly in response to requests. Store the data in an accessible system for city internal and external uses.
Benefits of this program include understanding where transportation issues exist today (congestion, etc.) and how the system is operating to:
. Appropriately plan for the future of the transportation network . Prioritize maintenance activities and operations . Understand which areas experience the heaviest use (across all modes) to appropriately prioritize capital and maintenance activities . Be able to provide development identified improvements to complete appropriate mitigation
PHASE ONE - PLANNING Collaborate with staff and local jurisdictions to implement a program that meets regional needs Identify count methods, locations and frequency Create a program to store and analyze data
PHASE TWO - IMPLEMENTATION Obtain equipment for installation of permanent counters for multimodal data collection o Installation of Eco Counters is planned for fall of 2016. o Locations include . Colorado Avenue Bridge . Galveston Avenue Bridge (See Figure 1 for installation image) . Newport Avenue Bridge
City of Bend Growth Management August 2016 Page 1 Bend Count Program . Portland Avenue Bridge . Franklin Parkway Undercrossing/Tunnels
The photo below is an example of how the Eco Counter system measures traffic.
FIGURE 1 Standard data collec on site configura on Begin data collection o Quality Counts data collection completed in May and July 2016 o Counts will be collected by contractor every May with some locations counted annually or every other year. See map Figure 2 – Count locations collected in May 2016
PHASE THREE – DATA SHARING AND ANALYSIS Data from May 2016 is being modified to be shown in the City’s Mapping Program (available by Fall 2016) Create program for collecting vehicle data using tube counts in a three year cycle Create annual reports of the volume data city use . Monitor use and trends . Understand trends in the transportation system (coverage counts) . Understand mode splits and changes on key corridors . Understand the number of people walking and biking . Understand the number of transit riders . Measure project success . Understand traffic changes before and after project implementation (including roadway projects as well as pedestrian/bike projects) – “before” data may also be used for grant applications.

INITIAL DATA REPORT COMPARING MAY AND JULY 2016 VOLUME DATA
As part of the data sharing and analysis of the Bend Count Program, the following comparisons are provided from vehicle collection efforts in May and July 2016.
Overall findings include:
A majority of locations showed less than a 5% difference comparing July daily traffic volume to May daily traffic volume. The peak morning hour moved in several locations on city streets from the 7:00 – 8:00 AM hour in May to the 11:00 – 12:00 AM hour in July. This may be explained by school start times in May. The summer traffic peak is higher for Lava Butte, HWY 20 East of Bear Creek, and Pinebrook. Revere and Empire stays more flat. Difference between peak (summer) and low (winter) traffic in 2015 were – Lava Butte: 45%, Pilot Butte: 41%, Pinebrook: 46%, Revere: 22%, and Empire: 21%
The following charts and summaries were obtained from 24 hour tube counts with both directions of travel during a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The counts for July were chosen for this analysis to determine if there were any differences with summer travel compared to spring travel on Bend’s roadways. Typically, data will be collected with the tube count method in May of each year.
1. Colorado Avenue was counted on May 19, 2016 (Thursday) and on July 19, 2016 (Tuesday) for northbound and southbound vehicle movement. The daily traffic volume in May was 13,242 and in July was 16,183. The vehicle volume in July increased by 22.2% from May or 2,941 more vehicles counted in July. One explanation of this increase may have been the city effort to upgrade a sewer line running through the area from October 2015 to May 2016 where portions of Arizona and Colorado Avenues were closed at times. See Figure 3 for an image of the areas closures.

2. Century Drive South of Simpson Avenue was counted on May 17, 2016 (Tuesday) and on July 19, 2016 (Tuesday) for northbound and southbound vehicle movement. The daily traffic volume in May was 10,473 and in July was 8,664. The vehicle volume in July decreased by 17.3% from May. One explanation of this decrease could be the school traffic morning peak of 668 vehicles and afternoon peak of 885 vehicles corresponding to start and end time of school from 7:00 – 8:00 AM and 3:00- 4:00 PM whereas the July data shows the morning peak of 818 vehicles from 11:00 AM – 12:00 noon and the
City of Bend Growth Management August 2016 Page 5 Bend Count Program afternoon peak of 765 vehicles from 5:00 – 6:00 PM. This decrease could also be explained by the Colorado Avenue roadwork completion where many would have used this route as an alternative to Colorado during construction.

NATIONAL AND STATE DATA The US Department of Transportation (DOT) uses data from each state to create a national record of travel. Nationally, travel has increased on all roads as seen in Figure 4, which shows a chart illustrating national Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) from 1971 to June 2016.
Page 12 Bend Count Program Oregon showed that VMT increased by 4.3% From June 2014 to June 2015. This data can be found on the US DOT website www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/travel_monitoring/tvt.cfm. This data is based on approximately 4000 continuous traffic counting locations nationwide.
FIGURE 4 National VMT trends on all roads (Source: http://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/DOT-Miles-Traveled.php)
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has several permanent counters in Bend on ODOT roadways that show historical data. The comparison data for May and July does not represent the increase in traffic on all roadways. ODOT collects continuous data statewide through Automated Traffic Recorder (ATR) or Counters. – ATRs are placed at specific locations to record the distribution and variation of traffic flow by hour of the day, day of the week, and/or month of the year. The data is provided online at http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TDATA/Pages/tsm/tvt.aspx. In the Bend area, there are 6 count stations that collect traffic data continuously (see Figure 5 for a map of locations). This data is presented below in Figures 6-10. The data presented is the average daily traffic (ADT) for each month.
