10 LAND USE SCENARIOS

11 Relationship between adopted plans, scenarios, and transportation investment packages Scenarios Scenario 2 Economic tide Transportation Investment Packages Package 2 Common Elements Scenario 1 Current trends Package 1 Adopted Land Use and Transportation Plans Adopted Regional Pop/Emp Forecast Horizon Year

12 Scenarios Scenario 1 : Current Trends Use regional forecast midpoint to 2055 Continue regional socio-economic trends, like aging population and higher share of in-migration Scenario 2 : Rising Economic Tide High end of range forecast Growth in technology manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing jobs Decline in retail jobs Increase share of high income households

13 Drivers of Change Changing Climate Economic Tide Circuits and Sensors Climate change Climate change regulations Climate refugees Shifting attitudes toward transportation Intensifying weather conditions Increase in service- and technology-based industries Aging population Growth in metro areas Emerging global middle class Ease of lifestyle changes and domestic migration In-migration Telecommuting Uber and ride-sharing 3D printing Increase in online shopping Autonomous vehicles

52 EVALUATION OF TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT PACKAGES

53 Community Values 1) Connectivity 2) Efficiency 3) Transportation Options 4) Community Identity 5) Social Equity 6) Environmental Stewardship 7) Strategic Investment 8) Economic Vitality 9) Health 10)Safety

54 How Should we Evaluate the Transportation Investment Packages? COMMUNITY VALUES ORGANIZED TO INFORM EVALUATION

55 Proposed Travel Corridors

56 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT ON TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT PACKAGES

57 Goal of Public Involvement Provide input to help shape the transportation investment packages (Did we miss anything?) Set the stage for main public outreach effort in Fall 2015

58 Questions for the Public Transportation challenges Any other challenges that need to be addressed? Transportation investment packages Any other solutions that should be studied? Evaluation measures What information would you find helpful to assess trade-offs between the packages?

59 Outreach Activities Online Open House Meeting with stakeholders and organizations Targeted outreach to underserved populations Media outreach: social media, blasts, press releases, web outreach

60 Questions for SAC Does this seem like the right approach? Other ideas for engagement? What groups need to be updated at this point?
