Current and Emerging Policy Challenges Performance and Accountability Energy and Climate Change Transportation Sustainability and Livability Funding

Performance-Based Planning Systematic and ongoing process Major features  Goals and quantifiable objectives  Performance measures and data  Scenario planning – analysis and evaluation  Monitor progress

GHG Proposals Several proposals link transportation planning with GHG reduction strategies  National GHG reduction goals (EPA)  States & MPOs would develop surface-transport GHG reduction targets and strategies (DOT)  Establish performance measures to track progress toward meeting GHG reduction goals (DOT)

DOT/HUD/EPA Sustainability Partnership Provide more transportation choices Coordinate policies and leverage investment Promote equitable, affordable housing Enhance economic competitiveness Support existing communities Value communities and neighborhoods

Funding Challenges Large gap between addressing needs and available funding Federal government cannot close the gap States have competing funding priorities New CAFE Standards will impact revenues Innovative thinking is needed to develop next generation of user fees Start thinking about how you can solve your problems regionally/locally

Transportation Funding Initiatives Approval rating for transportation initiatives remains flat  November 2010, voters approved 61% of measures, down from 2008  77% were given the green light in 2006 Voters across the country approved eight state and local ballot initiatives ($376 million) Alabama voters defeated constitutional amendment to spend $1 billion over 10 years to pay for road construction projects

Prepare Plans that…. Address performance-based planning  Quantify the consequences of decisions  Predict, evaluate, and monitor accomplishment Identify sustainable and livability improvements  HUD awarded $40 million in new Sustainable Community Challenge Grants to help support local planning designed to integrate affordable housing, good jobs and public transportationSustainable Community Challenge Grants  DOT awarded nearly $28 million in TIGER II Planning Grants to implement localized plans that ultimately lead to projects that integrate transportation, housing and economic development$28 million in TIGER II Planning Grants Improve mobility and accessibility (land use coordination) Meet air quality conformity (preservation vs. capacity)
