Strategic Framework for Regional Transportation Planning and Growth in Silicon Valley

This document outlines the Regional Transportation Plan, a comprehensive 25-year strategy guiding transportation policies and investments in a nine-county region, aimed at accommodating nearly 2 million additional residents and 1.8 million jobs. The plan emphasizes financial constraints, necessitating that projects are included to access state and federal funding. With projected increases in commuter trips and freight volumes, it highlights challenges such as infrastructure maintenance, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and equitable investments, while prioritizing efficiency and sustainability in transportation development.

  1. Developing a Project Tradeoff Framework Silicon Valley Leadership Group May 5, 2008

  2. What is a Regional Transportation Plan? • 25-year long range plan • Guides transportation policies and investments for nine-county region • Financially constrained (expenditures must match projected revenues) • Projects must be in the plan to receive state and federal funds

  3. Growth • Nearly 2 million more people • 1.8 million new jobs • Need for over 700,000 new homes • A tripling in freight volumes

  4. Commuters Crisscross Region Counties and regional gateways daily trips will increase: • 35% increase in regional trips • Interregional Gateways fastest growing – 65% to 125%

  5. Challenges Ahead • Keep our roads and transit in good repair • Squeeze more efficiency out of our system • Build new infrastructure where needed • Support FOCUS communities • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and respond to warming impacts already in motion • Harness power of the market place and cutting-edge technology • Make equitable investments for all Bay Area residents

  6. T-2035 Committed Funds($194 billion total)

  7. Uncommitted Regional Discretionary Funds (escalated $ in billions) $30 billion total

  8. Available Revenues vs. Project Requests(escalated $ in billions)

  9. Potential Investment Theme Approaches 3 E’s Equity Environment Economy Goals Maintenance/ Safety/ Security Reliability/ Efficient Freight (Congestion Reduction) Clean Air/ Climate Protection Access/ Focused Growth Clean Air/ Climate Protection

  10. Potential High Priority Projects by Theme(Illustrative – not an exhaustive listing) Goals Potential Projects

  11. Maintenance Investment Assumptions: High: Roads- MTS Pavement/non-Pave. Transit- Score 16+ Signif. RTIP funds used for maint. Medium: Roads- MTS Pavement only Transit- Vehicle Focus Some RTIP may be needed for maint. Low: Roads- Arterial Pavement Only Transit- Vehicle focus (extended life) No RTIP needed for maint.

  12. T-2030 vs. T-2035 ShortfallsTransit Score 16+ and MTS Road Pavement/Non-Pavement(Escalated $ in billions)

  13. Freeway Operations Capital cost: $1.3 billion • Complete ramp metering and traffic operations system • Limited carpool lane gap closures • Complete traffic signal coordination • Maintenance and replacement

  14. Regional HOT Network

  15. Resolution 3434 Update

  16. What is FOCUS? • Local-regional partnership • Voluntary and incentive-based • Priority Development Areas • Compact growth in existing communities • About 50 jurisdictions • 395,000 additional housing units by 2035 • 45% of projected regional growth • Priority Conservation Areas • Regionally significant open spaces • Broad consensus for protection • Target for short-term public investment

  17. TLC Program and PDAs

  18. Transportation 2035 Schedule
