Conceptualization, History, and Status of Establishing a Regional Transportation Coordination Program (“CapCom”) Chief Administrative Officers Committee and Senior Policy Group Special Briefing and Discussion DRAFT Hon. David Snyder Chair, RESF-1-Transportation Ronald F. Kirby Director, Department of Transportation Planning, COG/TPB July 6, 2005

2 DRAFTBackground Regional Emergency Transportation Coordination Annex (REETC) approved by TPB, COG Board in March/April 2004 Regional Emergency Transportation Coordination Annex (REETC) approved by TPB, COG Board in March/April 2004 Key findings: Key findings: Timely public communications during incidents are essential and can be highly effective in managing transportation Timely public communications during incidents are essential and can be highly effective in managing transportation The greatest potential for improvement of travel conditions is reduction of demand The greatest potential for improvement of travel conditions is reduction of demand Incident ripple effects necessitate timely communications and coordinated actions Incident ripple effects necessitate timely communications and coordinated actions Follow-up actions explored how to strengthen transportation communications during incidents Follow-up actions explored how to strengthen transportation communications during incidents

3 DRAFT Exploration of Options for Strengthening Transportation Coordination Leading Up to CapCom Four strategies have been explored: Four strategies have been explored: Integration of transportation agencies’ technical systems and databases Integration of transportation agencies’ technical systems and databases Procedural changes by transportation agencies, and associated staff training Procedural changes by transportation agencies, and associated staff training Duty rotation among existing transportation agency staffs Duty rotation among existing transportation agency staffs Creation of a new regional organization to be responsible for transportation communications and coordination, referred to as “CapCom” (name likely will be changed due to copyright) Creation of a new regional organization to be responsible for transportation communications and coordination, referred to as “CapCom” (name likely will be changed due to copyright) Modeled after an organization for metropolitan NYC called “TRANSCOM” Modeled after an organization for metropolitan NYC called “TRANSCOM” A growing number of stakeholders came to the conclusion that the non-CapCom strategies were insufficient A growing number of stakeholders came to the conclusion that the non-CapCom strategies were insufficient

4 DRAFT History of New York’s TRANSCOM as a Background to CapCom TRANSCOM began in 1986 hosted by Port Authority of NY/NJ TRANSCOM began in 1986 hosted by Port Authority of NY/NJ Initially TRANSCOM just coordinated road construction schedules to ensure better management of NYC-area roadways Initially TRANSCOM just coordinated road construction schedules to ensure better management of NYC-area roadways E.g., not closing outbound lanes on two parallel bridges at the same time E.g., not closing outbound lanes on two parallel bridges at the same time Evolved over years to take on more “real-time” roles Evolved over years to take on more “real-time” roles Became an independent membership-owned entity Became an independent membership-owned entity Roadway agencies, toll roads, transit, police agencies – Roadway agencies, toll roads, transit, police agencies – Played a critical role in coordinating management of transportation ripple effects of 9/11 attacks in metro NYC through information sharing Played a critical role in coordinating management of transportation ripple effects of 9/11 attacks in metro NYC through information sharing TPB, Greater Washington Board of Trade urged consideration of a TRANSCOM-like organization for Metropolitan Washington after 9/11 TPB, Greater Washington Board of Trade urged consideration of a TRANSCOM-like organization for Metropolitan Washington after 9/11

5 DRAFT Existing Situation On-scene incident response is the priority of existing organizations - and they’re good at it On-scene incident response is the priority of existing organizations - and they’re good at it On-scene transportation incident clearance times have been reduced On-scene transportation incident clearance times have been reduced Significant agency-by-agency communications and coordination improvements have been made since 9/11 – reaction would be much better now to such an incident Significant agency-by-agency communications and coordination improvements have been made since 9/11 – reaction would be much better now to such an incident Still, no single entity has coordination of regional transportation operations as a primary job Still, no single entity has coordination of regional transportation operations as a primary job Regional coordination left to the busiest responders, relying on a limited number of key individuals Regional coordination left to the busiest responders, relying on a limited number of key individuals No consistent single-point of contact for press, public, others No consistent single-point of contact for press, public, others Notification good within state DOTs and transit agencies, otherwise inconsistent Notification good within state DOTs and transit agencies, otherwise inconsistent Timeliness of initial notifications and ongoing situation updates have been challenges Timeliness of initial notifications and ongoing situation updates have been challenges

6 DRAFT Anticipated Components of the Regional Transportation Coordination Program Information backbone – based upon the Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS) real-time database of traffic and transit conditions Information backbone – based upon the Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS) real-time database of traffic and transit conditions Live transportation information exchange among agencies – focal point for transportation status information to facilitate coordination Live transportation information exchange among agencies – focal point for transportation status information to facilitate coordination Public information – single place where press, public, fellow agencies can find automated transportation status information via Web, phone interfaces Public information – single place where press, public, fellow agencies can find automated transportation status information via Web, phone interfaces Planning – focal point for coordinated regional transportation operations planning Planning – focal point for coordinated regional transportation operations planning

7 DRAFT CapCom Benefits Take advantage of RICCS and other means for timely recognition of when an incident becomes regional and facilitated communications among multiple transportation agencies Take advantage of RICCS and other means for timely recognition of when an incident becomes regional and facilitated communications among multiple transportation agencies Improve coordination of transportation management during major incidents (often not “transportation” per se); e.g., 9/11, “Tractor Man”, bomb threat near RFK Improve coordination of transportation management during major incidents (often not “transportation” per se); e.g., 9/11, “Tractor Man”, bomb threat near RFK Serve as a source for information verification and ongoing situation updates to affected agencies, the media, and the general public Serve as a source for information verification and ongoing situation updates to affected agencies, the media, and the general public CapCom offers equivalent of “one-stop shopping” for transportation information CapCom offers equivalent of “one-stop shopping” for transportation information Availability, timeliness, accuracy of transportation information are key Availability, timeliness, accuracy of transportation information are key

8 DRAFT Chronology of Regional Transportation Management During Incidents – Now and with CapCom Step What Happens Now If CapCom Existed Discovery First responders ID as regional incident Varies (if lead agency is uncertain, can lead to delays) CapCom in consultation with responding agencies Facilitate regional coordination Varies (if lead agency is uncertain, can lead to delays) CapCom initiates (e.g. conference call) Ongoing communications Varies (if lead agency is uncertain, can lead to delays) Scheduled – CapCom ensures it occurs Information dissemination Varies (if lead agency is uncertain, can lead to delays) CapCom in coordination with lead & participating agencies Tracking regional impacts Ad hoc CapCom Closeout & lessons learned Lead agency and other agencies Lead & participating agencies with CapCom assistance

9 DRAFT Anticipated Regional Systems and Information Flow Travelers PSAPs** & Emergency Management First Responders CapWIN Operations Centers’ Software (e.g. WebEOC & EMMA) 511, Internet, Media Automated Inputs (Traffic Management Centers*, WMATA) RITIS Users Communications Interfaces * Traffic management centers include DDOT, MDOT (CHART), VDOT (STC), local governments ** PSAP = Public Safety Answering Point CapCom Integration of Data Inputs (Data Fusion) Manual Inputs Inputs CapCom Operations and Planning

10 DRAFT CapCom-CapWIN Comparison CapComCapWIN Description Program responsible for communications/information dissemination to transportation agencies, the media, and the public at the regionwide scale Project to develop wireless network technology supporting field use at the scenes of incidents Focus To develop and disseminate information, not technology To develop technology, not information Users For transportation agencies to provide traffic and transit information to the public and to share among agencies Used mostly by public safety agencies since inception Conceptualization Post-9/11/2001, modeled after New York’s TRANSCOM Field coordination during 1998 Wilson Bridge jumper incident Funding $1 M UASI subgrant; $2 M Fed. transp. earmark (pending); Ongoing transportation-source funding of approx. $2 M per year (under discussion) $4 million startup from transp. earmarks and other sources $20 million federal Justice grant

11 DRAFT Current and Potential CapCom Funding Sources Funding Source Process Requirements for Matching Funds Status UASI (Homeland Security) Proposal submission and selection No match required $1 million FY2005 UASI subgrant Congressional Earmark Congressional action requested by the region At least 20% match using state transportation funding $2 million one-time earmark pending in House bill* Transportation Federal Aid Agreement of three state DOTs At least 20% match using state transportation funding Under discussion TPB Member Contributions TPB members’ agreement Not applicable Not under active consideration at this time *Some related technical systems development has begun at the University of Maryland through a portion of previous years’ federal transportation grants (RITIS).

12 DRAFTOutlook TPB, in November 2004 and January 2005 resolutions, declared creation of a regional transportation coordination program as a top priority TPB, in November 2004 and January 2005 resolutions, declared creation of a regional transportation coordination program as a top priority TPB support of “CapCom” is not related to or dependent upon continuance of the CapWIN Project – they are completely different activities both housed (perhaps temporarily) at the University of Maryland TPB support of “CapCom” is not related to or dependent upon continuance of the CapWIN Project – they are completely different activities both housed (perhaps temporarily) at the University of Maryland Basics of how CapCom will work can be modeled on the experience of New York’s TRANSCOM Basics of how CapCom will work can be modeled on the experience of New York’s TRANSCOM Since the fall of 2004, the region’s transportation agencies have been participating in an ad hoc steering committee to work out the implementation details of CapCom, and some may wish to add comments now Since the fall of 2004, the region’s transportation agencies have been participating in an ad hoc steering committee to work out the implementation details of CapCom, and some may wish to add comments now
