    Active Transportation Elements Active transportation refers to human-powered travel, including walking and bicycling. Public transit is also a component of active transportation because accessing transit stops usually involves walking or bicycling. Wide- spread use of the term began as transportation policy placed increased emphasis on non-automobile modes and as the links between human health and transportation planning became more evident. Active transportation modes are essential components of the overall transportation system, meeting a variety of societal, environmental, and economic goals. These include: • Environmental stewardship and energy sustainability: Replacing gasoline-powered automobile trips with active trips reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, air toxins and particulates, helping to maintain air quality and address energy sustainability. • Congestion alleviation: People who walk, bike and use transit reduce the number of motor vehicles vying for space on roadways and in parking lots. The active mode share for commuting from Wash- ington County is currently estimated to be about 11% for work-related trips.6 Reduced congestion improves air quality, livability and economic vitality. • Health: “Obesity is one of the biggest public health challenges the country has ever faced.7” The con- ditions in which we live explain in part why some Americans are healthier than others and why Ameri- cans are generally not as healthy as they could be. The social determinants of health include five key areas: Economic Stability, Education, Social and Community Context, Health Care, and the Neighbor- TEXT ADOPTED hood and Built Environment. The TSP sets the framework for future decisions about the Neighborhood and Built Environment component. Due to the connection to public health and healthy outcomes, it is necessary that public health and active lifestyles are considered as we make these choices.

  • Multimodal Connectivity Analysis and Candidate Improvements
    WASHINGTON STATE RAIL PLAN 2019- 2040 | APPENDIX C APPENDIX C: PASSENGER RAIL MULTIMODAL CONNECTIVITY ANALYSIS AND CANDIDATE IMPROVEMENTS Overview This memorandum presents a multimodal connectivity analysis, identification of gaps in the multimodal network, and candidate access improvements for the fourteen passenger rail stations that are served by Amtrak Cascades in Portland, Oregon; Washington; and Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. Additionally, system-wide candidate improvements are identified that are applicable to other Amtrak rail stations in Washington. Multimodal connectivity to these rail stations can enhance the passenger experience, may attract additional riders to intercity passenger rail, and increases the capacity for access to the stations without the need to increase the parking supply. This analysis focuses on alternatives to single-occupant vehicle (SOV) access and does not evaluate opportunities to increase the parking supply, manage parking demand, or make improvements to the roadway network for SOV access to intercity passenger rail. An analysis of existing conditions at these stations (summarized in the memorandum, 7.1.b Amtrak Cascades Rail Stations Existing Conditions Memo), served as the foundation for the connectivity analysis. Additionally, the results of an on-board survey of the travel behavior of Amtrak Cascades passengers provided insights to inform both the connectivity analysis and the candidate access improvements (summarized in the memorandum, 2.3.5 Final Amtrak Cascades Onboard OD Survey Memorandum). As used in this memorandum, “connectivity” refers to the collective influence of land use and transportation factors on the options for passengers to access or leave the rail stations. The connectivity analysis evaluates station area land use context, availability of transportation services, and station area transportation infrastructure to identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing station access.
