Date: 6/8/2018 2018 TGM Grant Application

Jurisdiction: TriMet Project Title: TriMet Pedestrian Plan

Eligibility Requirements The following three eligibility requirements are reviewed on a pass/fail basis. Applications found to not meet each of these requirements will not be scored against the award criteria and will not be awarded a grant.

1. Clear Transportation Relationship A proposed project must have a clear transportation relationship and produce transportation benefits. A project must entail analysis, evaluation of alternative scenarios, development of implementation measures, and public involvement that results in a transportation plan, land use plan, or other product that addresses a transportation problem, need, opportunity, or issue of local or regional importance. 1000 character limit.

This project has a clear transportation relationship, as developing TriMet’s Pedestrian Plan is by definition a multimodal undertaking - whether they walk or roll, everyone accesses transit as a pedestrian. However, an incomplete sidewalk network, lack of safe crossings and other barriers often prevent people from reaching transit safely and comfortably. TriMet’s experience with the 2011 Pedestrian Network Analysis (PNA) demonstrates how highlighting pedestrians’ transit access needs can serve as a catalyst for infrastructure improvements. Using data and analytical methods not available at the time of the PNA, the TriMet Pedestrian Plan will be developed through robust engagement with jurisdictions and the public. The final plan will yield an updated hierarchy of pedestrian investments developed with a consistent regional lens.

2. Adoption of Products to meet Project Objectives A proposed project must include preparation of an adoption-ready product or products that lead to a local policy decision and that directly address the project objectives, such as a transportation system plan, comprehensive plan amendment, land use plan, code amendment, implementation program, or intergovernmental agreement. Projects are expected to include adoption hearings or will be part of a larger project to be adopted. 800 character limit.

The TriMet Pedestrian Plan will be adopted by the TriMet Board of Directors. The Plan will be developed in close coordination with regional partners to improve access to transit by walking and rolling. By providing jurisdictions with a prioritization framework for pedestrian infrastructure investments, the Pedestrian Plan will help jurisdictions comply with 3.08.120 and 3.08.130 of the Regional Transportation Functional Plan, which obligate them to include a transit plan and pedestrian plan in their Transportation System Plans.

3. Support of Local Officials A proposed project must clearly demonstrate that local officials, both the primary applicant and any co-applicants, understand the purpose of the grant application and support the project objectives. A letter or resolution of support from the governing body of the applying jurisdiction (e.g. City Council, Board of Commissioners, or Transit Board) must be submitted with the application to meet this requirement. 400 character limit.

Attached is a letter of support from TriMet General Manager Doug Kelsey, who is authorized to execute agreements and can commit to meeting match obligations. This project is accompanied by letters of support demonstrating region-wide interest. The TriMet Board is prepared to adopt the Pedestrian Plan upon completion, similar to the Bike Plan adopted by the TriMet Board of Directors (2016). 2018 TGM Grant Application

Jurisdiction: TriMet Project Title: TriMet Pedestrian Plan

Award Criteria Applications are scored on a range of criteria and receive up to 100 points. Projects are selected primarily based on the points scored; also considered are the grant amounts requested, the estimated amounts TGM believes may be required to complete a project, the amount of grant dollars available for award within a geographic region, and the balance of grant dollars between Category 1 and Category 2 projects. A scoring consideration is ensuring a fair distribution of grant funds to smaller or economically distressed communities.

1. Proposed project addresses a need and supports TGM objectives (up to 40 points) The project clearly and effectively addresses a local or regional transportation or transportation-related land use issue, problem, need, or opportunity and will achieve one or more of the TGM objectives.

Improving the infrastructure for walking and rolling to access transit stations and stops is key to sustainable and responsible regional growth and access.

TriMet is working to reduce barriers to riding transit. Thanks to the passage of House Bill 2017, which has meant additional funding for transit statewide, TriMet has committed to introducing a low-income fare beginning this summer. Starting in Fall 2018, TriMet will also roll out the agency’s largest ever expansion of bus service as part of its Fiscal Year 2019 budget. All of these measures have meant that transit is becoming increasingly available and affordable.

Despite these positive developments in reducing financial barriers to transit ridership, numerous physical barriers to transit access remain. Land use patterns, incomplete or deficient sidewalk networks, and dangerous crossings all prevent individuals who, based on distance alone, should be able to reach transit by walking or rolling from actually doing so. Displacement of lower-income residents from some of the region’s most walkable neighborhoods because of rising housing costs means that low-income riders may find themselves with less transit access and higher transportation costs.

TriMet’s ability to address access deficiencies depends on close coordination with the state, regional and local jurisdictions that own and maintain the region’s roadways and walkways. The Pedestrian Plan will include metrics for identifying locations in the service district where pedestrian improvements would have the largest impact on access to transit. The plan will enable jurisdictions to develop comparisons of scenarios for investments. In assisting jurisdictions with prioritization of pedestrian investments, TriMet’s Pedestrian Plan will be a tool that helps jurisdictions meet their obligations to comply with Metro’s Regional Transportation Functional Plan to engage in pedestrian and transit planning.

In addition, the plan would provide consistent analysis across the region and provide TriMet with a strategy for interfacing with jurisdictions on their pedestrian and/or active transportation plans.

How this Project Addresses TGM Goals and Objectives.

Objective 1. This project will highlight opportunities to support communities with the balanced and interconnected transportation networks necessary for mobility, equity and economic growth. As all transit trips begin or end with another mode, interconnectedness of modes (1.1) is a key goal of this project.

The pedestrian plan will highlight opportunities to invest in increased mobility for underserved communities and those with limited options (1.3). Roughly one in five TriMet riders is reliant on transit. This 20 percent includes individuals who are disabled, cannot drive, or cannot afford a car. Rising housing prices and rents in the Portland metro region have resulted in the displacement of communities of color, economically disadvantaged residents, and transit-reliant individuals from some of the most walkable locations to other parts of the region where there are greater challenges to accessing transit. This plan would help identify the locations that would provide the most benefit so that jurisdictions can prioritize investments that would improve access for people walking or rolling to transit.

The absence of continuous sidewalks and lack of curb ramps serve are barriers to transit for individuals with limited mobility. One desired outcome of the pedestrian plan’s analysis (where curb ramp information is available) is to identify key locations where the construction of curb ramps or sidewalks could provide riders who currently rely on LIFT paratransit service with the ability to access the fixed route network, thus providing them with greater flexibility and freedom in mobility.

The plan will promote safe and convenient walking and public transportation opportunities (1.4) by identifying priority locations for investments that would create safer conditions for anyone approaching, walking along, and crossing roadways.

The pedestrian plan will support safe and convenient walking, an important aspect of a healthy active lifestyle (1.4); studies have indicated that the physical activity that transit users get by walking to and/or from transit helps people meet the recommended daily physical activity guidelines.

Objective 2. This plan will contribute to creating vibrant communities and centers. The presence of people walking is a key characteristic of a vibrant community. Infrastructure improvements that enhance a person’s ability to walk or roll safely and comfortably to transit stops and stations will also improve access to businesses and services in their neighborhood. Improving crossings at dangerous intersections helps increase connectivity within communities, thus knitting neighborhoods together.

Objective 3. This plan will support economic vitality and growth, as locations that are walkable to high-quality transit service are valuable locations on a regional level. One of TriMet’s primary goals is to help shape the future of our region in line with Metro’s 2040 Growth Plan. As part of the agency’s business plan, TriMet tracks the percent of housing development and employment within walking distance of MAX, Division Transit Project, and Frequent Bus service.

Objective 4. This plan will save public and private costs, as investments in the pedestrian infrastructure that improve access to transit can help to support compact land uses and well-connected transportation patterns including urban growth within existing communities, thus providing an alternative to an urban growth boundary expansion need (4.1). Significant development has already occurred and continues to occur in locations with good transit infrastructure. Completing sidewalk networks and adding enhanced crossings to improve connectivity within existing communities provides better access to existing transit lines, thus helping communities accommodate growth without UGB expansion and by providing an alternative to major infrastructure projects.

Objective 5. This project promotes environmental stewardship. As the majority of TriMet riders have access to another mode of transport, providing a safe and comfortable walk to transit can influence people’s mode choice, reducing the number of single-occupancy vehicle trips and increasing transit trips, which conserves fuel and reduces congestion and vehicle emissions. 2. Proposed project is timely and urgent (up to 25 points) The application demonstrates timeliness and urgency. The project is needed now to:address pressing local transportation and land use issues;make amendments to local plans or regulations necessitated by changes in federal regulations, state requirements, or regional plans;make amendments to local plans or regulations necessitated by changes that were not anticipated in previous plans including growth or lack of growth, changes in land use patterns, or changes in available fundingbuild on, complement, or take a necessary step toward completing or implementing other high priority community initiatives, including supporting a Governor's Regional Solutions team priority; orresolve transportation- or land use-related issues affecting the project readiness of local, regional, or state transportation projects for which funding is expected to be obligated within the near future.

People’s ability to safely and comfortably access transit on both ends of their trip is a key input to mode choice. Strategic improvements to the region’s pedestrian infrastructure will enable riders to reach their destinations safely and conveniently while holding the potential to attract new riders. For instance, studies such as Washington County’s Transportation Futures Study indicate that demand for transit in the quickly-growing county could increase dramatically (200%) through measures that include providing better access to transit.

In addition, pedestrian fatalities have surged in recent years: during the period from 2009 to 2016, pedestrian deaths nationally rose 46 percent, a rate several times higher than the rise in traffic deaths for all modes. Many of the elements that make roads unsafe for pedestrians can be mitigated through factors such as improved roadway design, completing sidewalk networks, enhanced crossings, reduced speeds, and improved lighting. As a transit agency, TriMet’s role in facilitating these improvements consists of highlighting these gaps and providing jurisdictions with the analytical underpinnings to support their investment decisions.

Since there are 24 cities within TriMet’s service district, TriMet is well positioned to develop a standard analysis across the district with respect to assessing access to transit. This analysis will enable cities and counties to meet their obligations to develop both a transit plan (3.08.120) and a pedestrian plan (3.08.130) that addresses pedestrian access to transit, as set forth in Metro's Regional Transportation Functional Plan. For the sake of developing region- wide consistency in measuring pedestrian access to transit, it is important that TriMet undertake this project sooner rather than later.

Pursuing the Pedestrian Plan is timely from an analytical standpoint. Data sources and methods of analysis exist now that were unavailable at the time of the previous Pedestrian Network Analysis (PNA), allowing us to produce a plan that addresses the entire service district from the standpoint of a pedestrian network connectivity analysis.

Previously, most pedestrian infrastructure prioritizations (including the existing TriMet PNA) were based on simple, as-the-crow flies proximity to places of interest (e.g., bus stops or schools). Such approaches typically overstate the importance of short, unconnected road segments that are near important destinations. By contrast, a network connectivity model will highlight streets that are likely to be used most frequently by pedestrians because they provide efficient connections between numerus locations in the network. These network methods are now faster and easier to implement.

The TriMet service district is particularly ripe for such an analysis because consistent sidewalk presence/absence data has been added to OpenStreetMap (the Wikipedia of maps) for the entire region. This was done by the TriMet GIS team to enable better trip planning, but this same data could be used as a key input to a consistent, district- wide analysis of pedestrian connectivity. The use of OpenStreetMap data will also make the tools and methods developed for this analysis much easier to apply in other regions where sidewalk information is available in OpenStreetMap. 3. Proposed project approach is reasonable (up to 20 points) The application demonstrates a clear approach to achieving the expected outcome and results in consideration for adoption. Where substantial coordination with other local, regional, and state planning efforts occurs (or will need to occur), the mechanisms and responsibilities for the coordination are clear.

The proposed approach will build upon recent similar efforts, the TriMet Bike Plan (2016) and the TriMet Pedestrian Network Analysis. In both cases, representatives from partner jurisdictions and advocacy groups participated in technical and stakeholder groups to help guide those efforts, and were invested in the plans. This shared approach and vision has been successful to date, and shows promise to continue with this plan into the future. TriMet proposes re-establishing this Technical Advisory Committee, with the inclusion of additional voices as appropriate, to guide the plan development. Public engagement methods that TriMet has used effectively for other projects include using tablets in the field for user surveys, developing an interactive website, engaging in online open houses, and working with community-based organizations that are part of our Multicultural Outreach and Engagement Services program to reach communities who are often underrepresented in traditional public outreach fora.

Since its completion, the Pedestrian Network Analysis has successfully helped to guide and support regional investments in pedestrian networks and access to transit, including leveraging grant money and partnerships with local, regional, and state jurisdictions. The analysis has been used as a basis to apply for and secure grant funding for capital infrastructure improvements including new sidewalks, enhanced crossings, rapid flash beacons, medians, signalized intersections, and bus stop improvements. For example, three corridor projects were awarded in the ODOT STIP 2015-2018 Enhance Funds cycle for these improvements, totaling just over $8 million in new capital project infrastructure for OR-8/TV Highway, Barbur/OR-99W, and Powell-Division corridors.

In a similar manner to these efforts, we expect that our agency and partner jurisdictions will participate in and use this planning process and final plan documents to improve conditions for people walking and rolling both within local communities, and connecting to longer trips on transit vehicles.

This project will also build upon current work to update the Pedestrian Network Analysis. TriMet staff are tracking infrastructure improvements across the ten focus areas identified in the Pedestrian Network Analysis to determine which of the recommendations in the PNA have been built or have been incorporated into plans for those areas. The results of this assessment will inform the Pedestrian Plan.

In addition to project management provided by the project manager, TriMet’s GIS analysts will be involved in providing guidance and expertise on agency data and network analysis.

4. Proposed project has community support (up to 5 points) The application demonstrates that there is local support for the project objectives, a commitment to participate, and a desire to implement the expected outcome.

There is a shared regional desire for TriMet to continue to work with partner jurisdictions to analyze and promote active transportation infrastructure improvements that help connect people to transit service. This is evidenced in numerous adopted plans and policies, including but not limited to: Metro Regional Active Transportation Plan, Metro Regional Transit Vision and the Transit System Expansion Policy, and the Regional Transportation Functional Plan. This plan will also be informed by planning processes currently underway, such as PedPDX – The City of Portland’s Pedestrian Plan update, and Washington County’s First Mile/Last Mile Transit Connections Study.

This project has broad regional support, as demonstrated by the letters of support from support letters from Metro, the City of Gresham, Washington County, and Oregon Walks that accompany the application.

List attached letters of support on Application Checklist.

5. Proposed project sponsor readiness and capacity (up to 10 points) The application demonstrates that the local government is ready and able to begin the project within the TGM timetable and that there is local commitment and capability to manage the project considering the complexity of the project, the size of the jurisdiction, and performance on previous TGM projects. Where substantial coordination with other local, regional, and state planning efforts will need to occur, all of the partners are ready and able to begin the project within the TGM timetable.

TriMet is ready and prepared to work on the Pedestrian Plan if awarded. Our commitment to riders includes an understanding that how they get there matters, and that the provision of pedestrian infrastructure impacts our riders’ decisions on whether or not to take transit. In addition to basic provision, we also know that the quality of the environment matters. TriMet successfully managed and adopted a recent effort, the TriMet Bike Plan, which continues to guide and inform agency decision-making. TriMet partners are supportive of this effort and ready to participate.

TriMet can begin the project within the TGM timetable, and there is agency commitment and capacity to manage the project. TriMet will also bring its GIS analysts’ expertise to bear on the project’s research design and methodology. They will contribute expertise in network analysis, multimodal trip planning using open data, and spatial data acquisition and harmonization.

Eve Nilenders, project manager, has a background in pedestrian planning work, both from a transportation demand management perspective and from serving in an advocacy capacity as a member of the City of Portland’s Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Ms. Nilenders, a planner in TriMet’s Planning and Policy division, is currently assessing the implementation of the recommendations in the previous Pedestrian Network Analysis in order to build on the lessons learned from that project in the Pedestrian Plan.

TriMet received TGM funding in 2016 to develop a Bicycle Plan, which was adopted by the TriMet Board of Directors. This plan serves as a roadmap to help guide future investments in biking infrastructure and amenities, including bike access to transit stops, expanding bike parking options, and accommodating bikes on buses and trains.

6. Up to 10 Bonus Points: Proposed project is innovative The application demonstrates that the project will be innovative in its subject matter, approach, or expected outcomes. For example, the project will use health impact assessments or economic impact analysis as part of the evaluation of transportation alternatives or will include an innovative multimodal analysis.

Dear Cindy:

I am writing to express Metro's support for TriMet's application for a Transportation Growth Management [TGM) grant for the TriMet Pedestrian Plan. The existing TriMet Pedestrian Analysis, completed in 2011, is outdated. More than ever, with the disproportionate impact of pedestrian traffic related fatalities in the region, we need up-to-date tools to prioritize limited investments and make it safer to access transit.

TriMet's original Pedestrian Network Analysis successfully helped guide funding for sidewalks, safer crossings and other pedestrian access to transit infrastructure. Cities and counties in the region rely on this type of analysis to help them justify where and when to spend limited funding. The updated plan will help TriMet and jurisdictional partners to continue targeting the most appropriate areas for investment.

An updated TriMet Pedestrian Plan will build upon Metro's Regional Active Transportation Plan and Regional Transportation Safety Strategy, as well as local planning efforts such as PedPDX: Portland's Citywide Pedestrian Plan, to maximize the benefits of pedestrian infrastructure.

Metro supports this project and will continue to work with TriMet and local and state agencies to analyze and prioritize investments in pedestrian infrastructure, and ensure we are all doing our best to make access to transit safe and comfortable for everyone.

Sincerely,

A^^-Lake McTighe Active Transportation Project Manager

Dear Cindy,

I am writing to support TriMet’s application for a Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant for the TriMet Pedestrian Plan. The time is now ideal to update the existing TriMet Pedestrian Analysis, completed in 2011, and to complement the recently completed and adopted TriMet Bike Plan in 2016. This plan will complement many efforts also underway, including the City of Gresham’s Active Transportation Plan. The Active Transportation plan will guide future improvements, such adding sidewalks, safer crosswalks, trails and paths. These improvements can make walking safer and more comfortable and will contribute to improved access to transit.

Given the pace of growth and change in our region, the City of Gresham and our regional partners will greatly benefit from the creation of a TriMet Pedestrian Plan. Since completion in 2011, the Pedestrian Network Analysis has successfully helped to guide regional investments in pedestrian networks and access to transit infrastructure, including leveraging grant money and partnerships with local, regional, and state jurisdictions. Given the great need for pedestrian infrastructure and limited resources available, this plan will help TriMet and jurisdictional partners to continue targeting the most appropriate areas for investment.

The City of Gresham was involved in the creation of the TriMet Pedestrian Network Analysis technical advisory committee, and we look forward to continual involvement in the development of the TriMet Pedestrian Plan as well. We look forward to working together on this project with TriMet and other regional partners to analyze and prioritize investments in pedestrian infrastructure, and ensure we are all doing our best to complement active transportation trips with transit trips.

Sincerely,

Katherine Kelly Katherine Kelly Comprehensive Planning Manager
