  1. Using a Statewide Model to Help Improve State Long-Range Plan Decision-Making: The Utah DOT Experience Paul Hershkowitz, Wilbur Smith Associates John Thomas, Utah DOT Michael Fazio, City of South Salt Lake* Jonathan Avner, Wilbur Smith Associates David Hurst, Wilbur Smith Associates *Formerly with Utah DOT

  2. Purpose of Presentation Describe the LRP process. Overview of how the statewide model was applied in the development of the Utah DOT Long-Range Plan (LRP).

  3. LRP Process LRP team – UDOT, Bio-West, InterPlan, WSA Foster better communication and understanding between the Regions and Planning Regions were the key - Bottom up, not top down Regions - project driven Needs by region by phase (2010-2020, 2021-2030, 2031-2040, & unfunded)

  4. LRP Process (2) Value-added: “this is what our analysis shows, what do you think?” Needs to projects w/ region involvement Fiscally constrained Tiered by type of project PI : Libraries, RPOs, MPOs, UDOT & uPLAN websites Streamlined document

  5. USTM LRP Application Utah Statewide Travel Model (USTM) - developed (Phase I) and calibrated (Phase II) - 2007-2009 Currently daily vehicle and truck model – “match the maps” Whole state, including MPOs – but focus is on rural and “emerging” areas. Supplements, doesn’t replace, MPO models LRP was one of the apps for which USTM was built

  6. USTM LRP Application (2) Regional briefing – LRP process and USTM Deficiencies (capacity needs) by region Improvements (projects) to resolve deficiencies No-Build – 2008, 2020, 2030, 2040, unfunded “needs” Baseline (w/ MPO projects) – 2008, 2020, 2030, 2040, unfunded “needs”

  7. USTM LRP Application (3) Regional review, then iterated model runs Some projects moved to different phases or deleted (based on funding) after iterations Model results input to project fact sheets
