Process Matt is available City of Seattle

Process Develop scenarios for near-term and more distant future to further investigate how impacts and outcomes may play out Identify impact thresholds where outcomes like travel behavior, congestion, land use, public health, equity, affordability, could change substantially Provide policy and regulatory guidance Matt is available

Project Phase 1 (Winter 2015/2016) Phase 2 (2016) Joe Discuss existing trends, issues, and concerns with wide array of stakeholders Review existing regulations Policy and regulatory guidance Organize what we heard into two frameworks Phase 2 (2016) Identify how and where outcomes like travel behavior, congestion, land use, public health, equity, affordability, could change substantially (scenario-testing, data dive, coordination) Outputs will be utilized for One Center City Plan Long-term policy and regulatory guidance Joe Discuss Phase I and Phase II processes

Phase I Findings Matt is available City of Seattle

Recommendations Susan R1 – Jurisdiction and Coordination: Allocate regulatory responsibilities to the most appropriate jurisdiction based on regulation type. R2 – Holistic Approach: Create a broad regulatory umbrella that is all-encompassing of existing, emerging, and future shared mobility models. R3 – Consider Platform Licensing Models: Build on recent successes in other regions and consider a platform-based approach that is reflective of the increase in drivers for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), and changing technology and business models employed by shared mobility companies. R4 – Penalties: Adopt an effective penalty system that equitably holds parties responsible for complying with regulations. Susan - These summarize the things we care about based on what we heard. Touch on important themes for the city, county, mayor, director.

Recommendations Susan R5 – Enforcement: Employ an enforcement approach that adapts to the changing technology and business models employed by shared mobility companies, including options based on a platform and audit structure. R6 – Rate Structures: Develop a consistent policy on shared mobility rate structures that ensure consistency and fairness for customers. R7 – Data Sharing: Develop a data collection and sharing process as part of the licensing terms of shared mobility platforms, including a third party data management entity. R8 – Accessibility: Develop a holistic policy for accessibility (e.g. ADA compliance). An evaluation and update to current policy would be the first step of this process. R9 – Micro Transit: Define safety standards and regulations Susan - These summarize the things we care about based on what we heard. Touch on important themes for the city, county, mayor, director.

Phase II Matt is available City of Seattle

Policies, approaches & procedures What we heard (6 sessions + around 15 interviews) RESEARCH  What is happening? What are the principles to uphold? SYNTHESIS  What could happen? WHERE WE WANT TO GO Policies, approaches & procedures

Mode Share Analysis – PSRC Collaboration Expected outputs: •High level congestion changes as well as congestion changes in the 5 project areas. •Access changes, do some areas become more or less accessible to the rest of the region? (increased access to jobs and employment). •Mode shift in the region as a whole and the 5 project areas.
