16. 16 Lessons from the San Francisco Bay Area

17. 17 Premise 1: Transportation is Critical Sources: USEIA, BAAQMD Transportation: 14% Transportation: 41% World Bay Area Green House Gases Compared

18. 18 Premise 2: Tighter Emission Standards Necessary But Not Sufficient

19. 19 Premise 3: Location Matters Growing Cooler: Compared to sprawl, compact development results in a 20 to 40 percent reduction in VMT and hence in CO 2

20. 20 Premise 4: Price Matters More Core Pricing: Driving is more expensive in the urban core with parking costs and bridge tolls

22. 22 Some Impacts Now…Many Much Later Short Term Long Term Parking Policy EV Infrastructure Carbon taxes/Road Pricing Compact & Complete Communities Transit-oriented Employment Centers SCS Mobility Management Tools

23. 23 U.S. Examples Federal Policy – Transportation for Tomorrow Focus on Metro Mobility Urban Partnership Program to conduct large scale demonstrations of strategies to improve urban mobility Multi-modal traveler information systems to influence travel decisions Transit-oriented development to encourage alternatives to private cars Car sharing High Occupancy Toll lanes Traffic management systems to use existing capacity Intellidrive program to design connectivity between vehicles and the roadway

24. 24 Working Together in the Future Focus on Urban Mobility Share developments in technology and policy that focus on solving metropolitan transportation problems Example: CIVITAS program – bring good ideas to scale Traveler information systems designed for the next generation In-vehicle and roadside communication in real time Improve intermodal freight movement to reduce impacts on urban centers Dynamic management of existing infrastructure Integrate pricing, fare payment, parking charges Link land use planning and transportation investment to improve urban mobility

25. 25 Cooperation between Modes Establish common targets for GHG emission reduction, urban congestion mitigation, safety and equity Optimize modal contributions to meeting these targets Achieve dynamic management of existing infrastructure to optimize existing capacity. Implement intermodal electronic payment systems to allow ease of movement while achieving pricing objectives Supply real-time information to help make informed decisions

26. 26 System Management & ITS System management approach relies on ITS projects to: Manage traffic, Improve freeway and arterial operations, Ensure rapid response to and clearance of freeway incidents, Inform travelers about options on-demand and in real- time, and Simplify access with electronic payment systems.
