This growth has resulted in traffic and parking concerns as being the most significant city issues identifiedy b Bellevue citizens in 2015 and 2017. Bellevue’s Smart Mobility Plan aspires to manage this growth through the use of technology to enhance and optimize the transportation system throughout the city. In 2004, the city adopted an ITS Master Plan that They will also shift the roles that the public resulted in one of the most advanced intelligent and private sector will assume in planning and transportation systems in the country—with implementing transportation solutions. an adaptive traffic signal control system at Bellevue’s Smart Mobility Plan outlines the city’s all city intersections, a citywide fiber optics- implementation plan toward both traditional based communications system, and a state- and emerging transportation technologies and of-the-art traffic management center. These discusses steps to accelerate and integrate ITS achievements have improved traffic flow, them in the next 5 years. The plan also reduced congestion on city streets in a cost- discusses potential partnership opportunities 1 effective way and provide a foundation for the to achieve Bellevue’s Smart Mobility Vision: smart mobility initiatives presented in this report. To use innovation and partnerships to deploy The future of mobility in Bellevue is about emerging technologies to enhance the safety, to undergo a transformational change sustainability, efficiency. and accessibility of with emergence of new technologies that Bellevue’s transportation system. demonstrate significant opportunities in Bellevue’s Smart Mobility Plan is divided into six improving transportation efficiency, mobility, key initiatives: safety, and sustainability. Advancements in ■ Shared-use Mobility autonomous, connected, electric, and shared ■ Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (ACES) technologies demonstrate that private ■ Electric Vehicles and public sector can work together toward ■ Real-Time Traveler Information applying technology to shape the transportation ■ Data Management system. Many of these technologies will change ■ Traffic Management the way that people and goods are transported. City of Bellevue Smart Mobility Plan 7 Shared-use Mobility Electric Vehicles Bellevue’s shared-use mobility initiative focuses Electric vehicle (EV) adoption has nearly tripled on partnerships to integrate transportation in Bellevue between 2017 and 2018. The city services that provide or facilitate shared rides anticipates a continued trend as EV charging between travelers. Encouraging shared mobility infrastructure and the number of available EV in Bellevue will be a key component in the city’s models rapidly expand. Bellevue’s EV initiative Smart Mobility Plan as it addresses the need to prepares for this growth by partnering with reduce the number of vehicles on the road to regional stakeholders to build an expansive improve congestion. Bellevue’s smart mobility network of EV charging infrastructure and leads plan includes innovative programs such as the by example by operating and encouraging the “CommutePool” flexible employer rideshare use of EVs in the public sector. program that Bellevue is developing with the City of Kirkland and local employers. The program Data Management will use mobile application technology to arrange Transportation data availability has grown shared rides for the Bellevue and Kirkland exponentially with the widespread increase of workforce in the initial pilot. data sources from the public and private sector. Bellevue’s data management initiative focuses Autonomous and Connected Vehicles on gathering and managing large volumes of In 2018, the auto industry has spent upwards of transportation data to help the city make data- $60 billion to develop autonomous vehicles (AV) driven decisions based on accurate, timely, and and connected vehicles (CV)2. These investments reliable information. Data management also are supported by the potential safety, mobility encompasses safe data handling to ensure that and environmental benefits that both AVs and data privacy is upheld. CVs offer. Automakers such as Ford, GM, Toyota, and Honda are all anticipating the launch of Real-Time Traveler Information vehicles capable of full self-driving capabilities Connected devices such as smartphones and by 2021, prompting cities like Bellevue to plan in-vehicle
