1 Traffic Congestion in Houston Presented by Bill King

2 The Travel Time Index Defined Minute Trip = 41 Minute Trip (+ 36%)

3 The History of Congestion in Houston Growing Congestion Problem In Houston Texas Travel Index Population in Millions Travel Congestion Index Area Population Congestion data taken from the Texas Transportation Institute 2007 Urban Mobility Study Population Data Taken from the Texas State Library and Archive Commission ( ) and the Texas State Data Center ( )

4 Houston Congestion Now Worse Than Other Major U.S. Cities Other Houston Data taken from the Texas Transportation Institute 2007 Urban Mobility Study

5 Congestion Expected to Get Worse in Houston Under Most Scenarios No Build Existing Funding Sources Exisitng Funding Sources, Tollway Financing and Pass Through Financing TCI Value Graphic taken from the Houston-Galveston Area Council 2006 Texas Metropolitan Mobility Plan

6 The Cost of Houston Congestion (Annually) Time = 124 Million hours 56 hours per Commuter Fuel = 92 Million gallons $250 Million $125 Per Commuter Increased Emissions 874,000 Tons of CO 2 Additional Cost of Vehicle Maintenance =??? Data taken from the Texas Transportation Institute 2007 Urban Mobility Study.

7 Fundamental Congestion Equation Demand Limit growth/change development patterns Transit alternatives Telecommuting Flex Hours Supply Build more lane miles Increase the efficiency Incident Management (Safe Clear, MAP) Ramp/Intersection Improvements/Grade Separations Smart Streets-ITS

25 Some Ways to Tackle Congestion Address crash rate Intersection improvements Safety based enforcement efforts Truck rollovers Improved construction administration San Felipe Incentive payments for finishing early

26 Some Ways to Tackle Congestion Improved Incident Management Pay for all tows Coop programs with County & small cities At grade railroad crossings 1200 crossing (fixing just 55 - $800 million)

27 Some Ways to Tackle Congestion Improvements to HOV Lanes Restrooms Better parking More buses Extend lanes Sales Tax Only Transit??

28 What is necessary? Send a clear signal to our elected officials that relieving traffic congestion is our priority

29 Portland 1999 Regional Transportation Plan Increased congestion will signal positive urban development... Transportation solutions aimed solely at relieving congestion are inappropriate.

30 What is necessary? Send a clear signal to our elected officials that relieving traffic congestion is our priority Make investments that have the highest cost benefit ratio for reducing congestion
