1 2040 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN APPENDIX A Complete Streets Projects 157] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

2 Appendix A: Complete Streets Project Listing The roadway projects in the 2040 RTP are presented in three time periods: the first five years of the plan ( ), the second five years of the plan ( ), and the remaining 14 years of the plan ( ). These projects include a combination of sidewalk accessibility, bicycle and other pedestrian facilities, operations and maintenance, pavement preservation, other multimodal investments to promote safety and livability, and capacity improvements to address long term mobility needs. The projects for each time period are illustrated in a map and described in the following tables. The tables also include the estimated project cost in year of expenditure dollars and potential funding sources. All of the roadway projects incorporate Complete Street design principles. The safety needs of all roadway travelers, including pedestrians, cyclists, and transit customers, will be addressed in the design of these projects. The delivery of some projects will occur over multiple years and may be shown in two or more time periods. For example, Phase 1 of the Sparks Boulevard improvements would be initiated in the time period but construction in the corridor would be completed in the time period. The Pyramid Highway/Sun Valley/US 395 Connector is another example of project phasing over multiple years. This project is currently in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement phase, design and right of way acquisition would continue through the first five years of the RTP, some project segments would begin construction in the second five years of the plan, and additional phases of the project would be constructed in the last 14 years of the plan. Because of the complexity of the Pyramid Highway/Sun Valley/US 395 Connector project, a map illustrating the project phasing plan is provided on page A 15. Projected funding levels are not sufficient to address all of the transportation needs identified in the region over the next 20 plus years. A listing of unfunded roadway needs totaling approximately $3 billion is available at the end of this section. 158] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

15 APPENDIX B Project Prioritization 171] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

16 Appendix B: Project Prioritization The RTP process incorporated several project selection criteria, including safety, land use compatibility, level of multimodal connectivity and operational improvement, travel demand, and community input. Projects were identified for consideration in the RTP though a variety of ways: Existing RTP developed in 2013 Corridor plans and studies such as the North Valleys Multimodal Transportation Study, Reno Sparks Freeway Study, Short Range Transit Plan, Complete Streets Master Plan, Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, and other corridor plans Road Safety Assessments and Safety Management Plans Community workshops and other public comments Issue based forums Online survey Input from the following: 2040 RTP Agency Working Group, the RTC Citizens Multimodal Advisory Committee, RTC Technical Advisory Committee, and RTC Regional Road Impact Fee Advisory Committee. An overview of the Congestion Management Process evaluation criteria is provided below. These factors were integrated into the RTP project selection process. CMP Evaluation Criteria Rating 1 Addresses high crash location or Road Safety Assessment (RSA) Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 2 Compatible with adjacent land uses Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 3 Multimodal connectivity: Includes bicycle or pedestrian component Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 4 Multimodal connectivity: Includes transit component Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 5 Provides ITS/operations improvement Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 6 Identified as community priority at public meeting Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 7 Addresses area of high traffic congestion Yes / No / Partially or Further Analysis Needed 1. Safety: Because safety is a guiding principle and goal of the RTP, projects that addressed safety issues at high crash locations or deficiencies identified through Road Safety Assessments or Safety Management Plans were identified. All RTC projects are designed to appropriate safety design standards. For programmatic investments that include multiple projects, such as traffic signal upgrades and pavement preservation, some of these projects are located in high crash locations while others are not. 2. Land Use Compatibility: The next level of screening was for land use compatibility. The Regional Plan and land use plans of Reno and Sparks identify Transit Oriented Development Districts (TODs) and Regional Centers as locations where the streetscape should be walkable and focus on pedestrian amenities rather than 172] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

17 accommodating high speed auto traffic. Locations with school crossings or other areas of high transit and pedestrian activity were noted as being less suitable for roadway widenings. 3. Multimodal Connectivity (Pedestrian & Bicycle): Because improving travel choices through multimodal connectivity is another guiding principle of the RTP, projects were scored on the level of non motorized capacity they would bring. The evaluation process identified which projects include bicycle or pedestrian components. 4. Multimodal Connectivity (Transit): Because improving travel choices through multimodal connectivity is another guiding principle of the RTP, projects were scored on the level of transit capacity and amenities they would bring. The evaluation process identified which projects include transit components. 5. ITS/Operational Improvement: Operational improvements, such as traffic signal or fiberoptic communication systems upgrades, are also important investments to improve traffic flow while minimizing the need for new vehicle capacity. The evaluation process identified which projects include an ITS or operational improvement component. 6. Community Input: The RTP process provided an opportunity for local residents to identify their top transportation priorities. A series of surveys was made available at public outreach events and online to allow participants to select the projects in each of the time horizon periods that reflected their top priorities. The results of the surveys were tabulated and included in the project selection process. 7. Traffic Congestion: Results of the regional travel demand model were used to identify which projects address areas of high traffic congestion. The evaluation process identified which projects are located in areas with existing or forecast traffic congestion, defined as either Level of Service (LOS) E or F in the travel demand model. Following the project screening, RTC staff developed a draft fiscally constrained project listing for review by the RTC Agency Working Group and the RTC advisory committees. After incorporating feedback from these groups, the draft project listing was presented to the RTC Board for feedback in October The project listing along with evaluation factors is provided on the following pages. 173] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

30 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) defines the long range planning policies and priorities for the community s future transportation system. It is the region s blueprint to maintaining access, mobility and clean air for our community. The RTP is a key tool for preserving our quality-of-life including short, safe commutes, a vibrant economy, and clear, blue skies. Under federal regulations, the RTP must be updated every four years. The current RTP is valid until April The purpose of the Public and Agency Participation Plan for the RTP is to establish a framework for a broad-based outreach effort with local residents, businesses, partner agencies, and other stakeholders, maximizing community engagement and participation. This plan builds on the 2014 RTC Public Participation Plan and includes additional details on efforts targeted specifically toward development of the RTP. Public participation/community involvement is critical throughout the process. The public and agency participation process will involve the following key components: Community Planning Workshops RTC Citizens Multimodal Advisory Committee (CMAC) Agency Working Group (AWG) Stakeholder information updates & speakers bureau Roundtable discussions Coordination with elected officials, boards, and committees Public outreach through media outlets and social media platforms 2.0 COMMUNITY PLANNING WORKSHOPS Community planning workshops provide an opportunity for the general public to actively participate in the planning process. By providing technical information such as maps and baseline data, RTC staff and other partner agency facilitators can assist local residents in identifying and documenting transportation issues, concerns, alternatives, and priorities. The workshop format allows people to document their ideas, such as on maps or drawings, in a way that technical staff can use in the planning process. It is important that a series of community planning workshops occur at key decision points during the RTP development, including: Developing the vision and goals for the plan Identifying alternatives Selection of priorities and recommendations Spanish language translators will be available at meetings. Meeting materials will be available in both English and Spanish. 186] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

31 3.0 ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS RTC will host issue-based roundtable discussions to guide development of the RTP. Roundtable subject areas will include seniors, youth, veterans, Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and freight transportation needs. The roundtable discussions will allow RTC to gather targeted input relating to specific transportation issues in the region. The meetings will be held throughout the community, including senior centers and local schools. 4.0 CITIZENS MULTIMODAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CMAC) The CMAC will assist RTC staff and guide the process to update the RTP. The committee meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 5:30 in the RTC first floor conference room at 1105 Terminal Way. The CMAC will assist RTC in addressing key components of the RTP development process. It is anticipated that the topics to be addressed by the CMAC will include the following: RTP guiding principles and goals Evaluation criteria Development of alternatives Alternatives screening & evaluation Recommendations Review the Draft RTP document 5.0 AGENCY WORKING GROUP (AWG) / TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (TAC) The Agency Working Group will be comprised of the RTC s partner agencies in local, state, and federal government. The AWG will work in parallel to the CMAC and provide technical input and analysis to the RTC. This group will also collaborate with RTC to ensure that the RTP is consistent with other planning initiatives and policies in the region. The AWG will assist RTC in addressing the key components of the RTP process as described in the CMAC section above. The AWG will be an informal committee facilitated by RTC staff. Agendas and supporting material will be mailed electronically to AWG members. The AWG will consist of the RTC Technical Advisory Committee (denoted by *) and representatives of the following additional agencies: City of Reno Community Development* City of Reno Public Works* City of Sparks Community Development* City of Sparks Public Works* Washoe County Community Development* Washoe County Public Works* Nevada Department of Transportation (Headquarters)* Nevada Department of Transportation (District II)* Federal Highway Administration* Federal Transit Administration RIDE ACCESS 187] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

Monthly updates will be provided to the RTC Board. It is anticipated that presentations to the Reno and Sparks City Councils and Washoe County Commission would be made two times during the planning process or as requested. RTC will also provide an update on the RTP planning process to local citizen and neighborhood advisory boards, as appropriate. 8.0 MEDIA OUTREACH Media outreach will be used to share information about the RTP planning process with the general public. Among the vehicles to disseminate information are: Regional/local newspapers, radio, and television Editorial Board meetings with opinion leaders Public Affairs programming The Road Ahead with RTC (KOLO-TV) News releases, feature stories Social media 189] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

34 Website Paid advertising In addition to traditional media, RTC will develop an electronic/on-line public participation forum. This approach will make project information and feedback opportunities accessible to residents unable to attend meetings in person. Web-based surveys, interactive mapping, and social media, can be used to gather broad-based community input about issues and solutions. 190] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

35 APPENDIX D Air Quality Analysis and Conformity Determination 191] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

36 Appendix D: Air Quality Analysis and Conformity Determination The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 require that each state environmental agency develop a State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP shows how the state will implement measures designed to improve air quality to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for each criteria air pollutant, according to the schedules included in the CAAA. Since emissions from motor vehicles make a significant contribution to air pollution, the CAAA also requires that transportation officials make a commitment to programs and projects that will help achieve air quality goals including: Providing for greater integration of the transportation and air quality process Ensuring that transportation plans, programs and projects conform with the SIP Reduction in the growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and congestion in areas that have not attained the Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) air quality standards. Conformity for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) are demonstrated when projected regional emissions generated by the plan and TIP do not exceed the region s motor vehicle emissions budgets as established by the SIP. While the MPO is ultimately responsible for making sure a conformity determination is made, the conformity process depends on federal, state and local transportation and air quality agencies working together to meet the transportation conformity requirements. The roles and responsibilities of the partner agencies involved in the air quality conformity analysis are defined in the Washoe County Transportation Conformity Plan. The plan was adopted by RTC and the Washoe County District Board of Health in January Transportation Conformity Status of Air Quality Pollutants Criteria pollutants are considered on a county-wide basis if actual pollutant levels are exceeded outside of the core area of the Truckee Meadows. The core area of the Truckee Meadows is designated as the Hydrographic Area #87 which is shown in Figure D-1. The current status of the various pollutants in 192] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

37 Washoe County is listed below: CO (8-hr): Attainment/Maintenance for Hydrographic Area #87 Attainment/Unclassifiable for the rest of Washoe County PM10 (24-hr): Attainment/Maintenance for Hydrographic Area #87 Attainment/Unclassifiable for the rest of Washoe County In 2015, EPA strengthened the 8-hour ozone standard from 75 to 70 ppb. The State of Nevada recommended that Washoe County be designated as attainment of the standard based on recent air monitoring data ( ) and EPA s exclusion of several wildfire-related ozone exceptional events. EPA is expected to finalize initial designations in October Regional emissions analyses were performed for each pollutant to document conformity with the CAAA as part of the RTP. The Regional Transportation Commission, in collaboration with the local agencies, has also been implementing programs that reduce motor vehicle emissions in the region. 193] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

38 Figure D-1 Reno/Sparks Hydrographic Area #87 194] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

39 Travel Forecasting Model and MOVES Emission Model The RTC s travel demand model was developed on the TransCAD platform. The model uses the 2016 Consensus Forecast population and employment provided by the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency. Washoe County Health District-Air Quality Management Division (WCHD-AQMD) converted to the MOVES emission model in The air quality analysis uses MOVES 2014a to calculate emission data. Air Quality Analysis Plan Requirements Federal regulations are specific in defining the level of air quality analysis necessary for incorporation into the RTP. Section 93, Title 40 of Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) dated August 15, 1997 (effective September 15, 1997), pertains to the criteria and procedures necessary to analyze the air quality impacts of the RTP. For the purposes of an air quality determination, the analysis years are 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and No air quality analysis is required for the street and highway projects identified as unfunded needs. A summary of requirements is listed below: A. The RTP must contribute to emission reductions in CO non-attainment/maintenance areas. B. Air quality analysis years must be no more than 10 years apart. C. In CO and PM 10 non-attainment/maintenance areas, analysis must be performed for both pollutants. D. The last year of the RTP (2040) shall also be an analysis year. E. An analysis must be performed for each year contained in the motor vehicle emission budget (MVEB) for the Hydrographic Area #87 for both CO and PM 10, as budgets have been established for these pollutants. F. For both CO and PM 10, the analysis of emissions for the required years cannot exceed the MVEB. Air Quality Analysis Crediting Provisions Federal regulations also allow for crediting procedures over the life of the RTP for the implementation of Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) in which emissions reductions can be quantified. These TCMs are critical to areas such as Washoe County that have and are expected to have continued growth in population and VMT. Several specific TCM measures are in progress or planned in Washoe County that will have quantifiable emissions reductions. These include: A. Traffic signal optimization program; B. Conversion of the public transit fleet cleaner fuels; C. Implementation of trip reduction programs. These TCMs have been the focus of studies to quantify the air quality benefit of each. The TCMs are described below. The RTC is not taking any credit for reduced emissions associated with these TCMs but may choose to take credit in the future, if conditions warrant. Traffic Signal Optimization/Timing Upgrade Program Traffic signal coordination and improvements seek to achieve two primary objectives: 1) improved traffic flow resulting in improved level of service and 2) mobile source emission reductions through decreased delay, fewer accelerations/decelerations and a decreased number of stops. The RTC has reviewed several studies and federally accepted models to quantify the reduction of mobile emissions from signal 195] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

40 coordination programs. These include signal coordination studies conducted by several cities in southern California and the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS). A comparison of before and after field studies was conducted and the improvements in all three peak periods were noted. Examples included a statewide average reduction of 14 seconds in stop delay and a 12% reduction in the number of stops per mile in the afternoon peak period. Several methodologies were used to take the results of studies to quantify the emission reductions from signal coordination programs. The pollution reduction results (tons/per day or percentage reduction) from each model vary as some models focus on corridor specific reductions while the others are more of an area-wide reduction projection. Pollutant reductions ranged from 11% along specific corridors to 3% to 4% on a regional level. The RTC has initiated a region-wide traffic signal optimization and improvements program to enhance the capacity of the existing system and reduce traffic congestion in the region. This is an ongoing program that will allow nearly 400 intersections in the Truckee Meadows to be coordinated. Conversion of RTC ACCESS and RTC RIDE Fleets to Alternative or Cleaner Burning Fuels Over 7.7 million annual passengers with 2.9 million miles are provided service by the RTC RIDE public transit and RTC ACCESS paratransit. While this is a small percentage of total daily travel, it is important in terms of air quality. All RTC RIDE buses are comprised of electric, hybrid diesel-electric and bio-diesel vehicles. All RTC ACCESS vehicles are fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). These vehicles can reduce mobile emission totals. Estimates by the California Air Resources Board between standard urban diesel and biodiesel or CNG determined that NO X emissions from vehicles with CNG or cleaner burning diesels were reduced approximately 60%. This relationship was augmented from a study entitled Public Transportation Alternative Fuels done in June of 1992 by Booz-Allen and Hamilton. RTC received a $5.1 million TIGGER grant for 4 zero emissions (electric) fixed-route buses and charging stations. RTC plans to purchase 15 additional electric buses and build more charging stations within the next few years. These buses the will help to further reduce emissions and the charging stations will provide infrastructure for RTC to move towards a 100% zero emission fleet. Trip Reduction Programs The RTC s trip reduction program, RTC SMART TRIPS, encourages the use of sustainable travel modes and trip reductions strategies such as telecommuting, compressed work weeks, and trip chaining. Major components of the program include a bus pass subsidy program in which the RTC matches an employer s contribution to their employees 31-day transit passes up to 20%; a subsidized vanpool program, RTC VANPOOL; and an on-line trip matching program, RTC TRIP MATCH, that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to look for carpool partners as well as bus, bike, and walking buddies for either recurring or one time trips. One of the most common deterrents to ridesharing is the fear of being stranded. Consequently, people who either carpool or vanpool to work can sign up for the Guaranteed Ride Home program and be reimbursed for a taxi ride home up to four times a year if an unexpected event prevents normal ridesharing arrangements from working. Making trips safely on foot and by bicycle are also promoted by the RTC SMART TRIPS program throughout the year. The goals of these programs are to promote trip reduction on a region-wide level, improve air quality, and reduce vehicle miles of travel and traffic congestion. During Federal Fiscal Year 2016 (October 2015 through September 2016), the air quality benefits of the program were substantial. Over 236,000 pounds of carbon monoxide and over 9.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide were reduced due to participation in the vanpool program. In calculating the emission reductions, monthly data for each of the RTC s existing vanpools were collected. The data included the number of people in each vanpool and the average daily trip mileage. The air pollution calculation was obtained by multiplying the number of passenger trips for each vanpool per month by the average daily trip mileage for each vanpool per month and totaling those results to estimate the total VMT eliminated through the program due to the vanpool passengers not driving alone to work. The reduction in VMT was then multiplied by the pollutant factors per mile with 196] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

41 those results outlined in the chart below. The emissions factors per mile for each pollutant were provided by WCHD-AQMD. Table D-1 RTC VANPOOL Air Pollution Reductions Volatile organic compounds (VOC) 31,750 lbs Nitrogen Oxide (NO x) 17,837 lbs Carbon Monoxide (CO) 236,342 lbs Particulate Matter (PM 10) 127 lbs Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) 118 lbs Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) 9,520,627 lbs RTC SMART TRIPS program continues to grow and add more participants. In FY 2016 RTC TRIP MATCH, a web-based carpool, bike, bus and walking buddy matching service increased by 13.7% to 1,672 individuals and the RTC VANPOOL program saw a 31% increase. Shared rides through the program eliminated 10.1 million vehicle miles of travel. RTC Travel Demand Model 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040 networks were established for this RTP air quality analysis. The 2015 network consists of the current roadway network and the current transit network. Each of the remaining networks is comprised of the previous model year network with the capacity related projects and transit service changes included in the RTP. Air Quality Analysis An emission test on both CO and PM 10 must be successfully completed to make a finding of conformity. The area of analysis for these pollutants is the Hydrographic Area #87. As stated previously, the CO and PM 10 emissions for the required analysis years cannot exceed the established motor vehicle emissions budget. Analysis is performed for 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040 for both pollutants. To initiate the air quality conformity determination, the emission levels for the pollutants in each analysis year are generated. The VMT for each facility type is derived from the RTC s travel demand model. Many local roads are approximated as centroid connectors in the model network. Since centroid connectors are not actual roads, the VMT for local roads is estimated as 11.36% of the total VMT based on NDOT s 2015 Annual Vehicle Miles of Travel Report (September 2016). Average speed by facility type from RTC s travel demand model is provided as an input to the MOVES model. Total emissions for each facility type are then added to get a daily emission total for the roadway system in the analysis area. Emission totals are shown in pounds per day (lbs. /day). The Interagency Air Quality Consultation Team recommended approval of the air quality analysis on April 17, CO Analysis The MVEB for carbon monoxide (CO), effective October 31, 2016, is shown in Table D-2, which also includes the CO emissions for all analysis years of the RTP.

The local jurisdictions and NDOT, through the RTP process, have made the commitment to fund TCMs such as ridesharing, traffic flow improvements, signal coordination, and conversion of public transit fleet to cleaner burning fuels. The 2040 RTP includes significant investments in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, consistent with the Complete Streets Master Plan adopted by RTC in Based on existing and planned commitments, the air quality analysis conducted in this chapter demonstrates that the required air quality conformity determination can be made and the RTP shown to be in conformance with federal air quality regulations.

44 APPENDIX E Access Management 200] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

45 Appendix E: Access Management Access refers to the entry of vehicles to and from the traveled portion of a roadway. This access can be to/from homes or businesses adjacent to the road, from intersecting streets or from parking on the sides of the roadway. Access control is a proven safety measure, as it reduces the potential for vehicle conflict. Vehicles need to access the roadway, but they also interrupt the flow of traffic. The greater the number of these interruptions, the more impact they have on flow. Access management controls the amount of these interruptions and is a tradeoff between the need for access and the maintenance of traffic flow. The degree to which access is managed needs to be appropriate to the type of adjacent land uses, volume of traffic and purpose of the roadway. Access management decisions will be made based on the latest edition of the NDOT Access Management System and Standards manual, Transportation Research Board Access Management Manual, or locally-adopted standards, as directed the local jurisdiction. Access management can include an analysis of the functional rea at signalized intersections. Access management may typically involve exercising control over the number and location of driveways and turning movements. Related to this is the control of the type of movements allowed into or out of these driveways through such things as signage and medians. Access control may also involve control of parking adjacent to the travel lanes. The degree to which access of all types is controlled can have a substantial impact on the ability of a roadway to carry traffic. For example, consider the very limited access allowed on an interstate highway versus a neighborhood street. The degree of access is an important consideration in sizing the street and highway system. All other things being equal, the greater the degree of access control, the greater number of vehicles that can be accommodated per lane. When the degree of actual access significantly exceeds the original planning assumptions, significant unforeseen problems can occur, inducing additional congestion. Access controls also have a direct impact on safety as shown in Table E-1. Minimizing the number of turning movements across lanes of traffic has been demonstrated to reduce crashes. Table E-1 Effects of Access Management Techniques Access Management Technique Treatment Effect 1. Add continuous two way left turn lane (TWLTL) 35% reduction in total crashes 30% decrease in delay 30% increase in capacity 2.

Additional roadway design access elements that influence safety and traffic flow include the following: Number of through lanes Minimum signal spacing Left turn from a major street Right deceleration lanes at driveways Driveway spacing Number of signalized intersections per mile Design speed Bicycle facilities Left turn lanes Left turn from minor street or driveway Median type or existence of median The Access Management Standards shown Table E-2 below will be used in the design of future improvements to regional roads and the classification of existing improvements for planning purposes. 202] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

Minimum signal spacing is for planning purposes only; additional analysis must be made of proposed new signals in the context of existing conditions, planned signalized intersections, and other relevant factors impacting corridor level of service. Minimum spacing from signalized intersection/spacing from other driveways. If there are more than 30 inbound, right-turn movements during the peak-hour. If there are more than 60 inbound, right-turn movements during the peak-hour. Minimum spacing on collectors. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) recently completed a revision of their Access Management System and Standards document. RTC and the partner jurisdictions (Washoe County and the Cities of Reno and Sparks) participated in this effort to bring more consistency to access management standards. The revised document incorporates standards from the 2 nd edition of the Transportation Research Board s (TRB) Access Management Manual, which was released in The regional road system shown in Table E-3 includes roadway limits, functional class and the access management class as described in Table E-2. The criteria for determining the regional road system includes: Arterials that are direct connections between freeways and other arterials, insure continuity throughout the region and generally accommodate longer trips within the region, especially in the peak periods on high traffic volume corridors. Collectors that meet one of several criteria including: an ADT level of 5,000 (either currently or in the 2040 time frame); crossing of a significant travel barrier such as the Truckee River, I-80, US 395/I-580; provides access to major existing or future regional facilities.

56 APPENDIX F Congestion Management Process 212] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

57 Appendix F: Congestion Management Process The purpose of the Congestion Management Process (CMP) is to identify how RTC selects and prioritizes projects to reduce traffic congestion. This process was developed in coordination with the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Agency Working Group and Citizens Multimodal Advisory Committee. The process was used to select projects included in this RTP. The CMP is a systematic approach that is collaboratively developed for the region and provides safe and effective management of new and existing transportation facilities. 1. Congestion Management Objectives Traffic congestion is an impediment to economic activity, degrades air quality, and has an adverse impact on quality of life in the Truckee Meadows. Traffic congestion on freeway facilities, particularly I 80, has an adverse impact on national freight movement in addition to local traffic operations. Significant proportions of traffic congestion are non recurring. This type of congestion is caused by crashes, work zones, weather, and special events. The objectives of this CMP are to reduce both recurring and non recurring traffic congestion. An important component to this process is the implementation of operations and management strategies that improve signal timing coordination and communications between traffic operations engineers at RTC, NDOT, City of Reno, City of Sparks, and Washoe County. The Nevada Traffic Incident Management (NV TIM) is another important program that addresses incident response. A guiding principle of the RTP is to improve safety on area roadways for all users, including pedestrians and cyclists. Selecting projects that reduce crashes on regional roads will also reduce congestion that results from incidents. The CMP also provides an opportunity to address freight issues. RTC participated in roundtable discussions facilitated by NDOT that involved regional partners in freight and logistics, economic development, and infrastructure development as part of the development of the recently completed Nevada State Freight Plan. In addition, a Freight and Logistsics Forum was held as part of a series of community outreach events. RTC will continue to coordinate with regional stakeholders as freight needs evolve. 2. Identify Area of Application The CMP applies to the Reno Sparks urbanized area in Washoe County, Nevada. This is the planning area addressed in the 2040 RTP. It addresses project prioritization for roadway capacity, safety, and operations. 3. Define System or Network of Interest The CMP addresses congestion issues on regional roads in the Reno Sparks metropolitan area. Regional roads generally include facilities with 5,000+ average daily trips. Roads with fixed route bus service or corridors identified as industrial roads are also included. 213] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan

58 RTC identified existing traffic congestion hotspots using INRIX data provided by NDOT. INRIX roadway network includes freeways and major roads in the region. The congestion analysis focuses on AM and PM peak hours when congestions are the most severe. Congestion is measured as observed speed as a percentage of the free flow speed. The NIRIX data used for existing congestion analysis is from weekdays of October, Existing traffic congestion is shown in Figure F ] 2040 Regional Transportation Plan
