PSA Council Goals

7
Challenges to Aligning Criteria with MassDOT Goals
Addressing existing auto-dependency and realistic potential for mode shift given existing land use Overcoming sub-par bicycle, pedestrian, and safety data and forecasting abilities Comparing projects across and within modes with one set of criteria Avoiding metrics becoming a box to check Recognizing political context

Specific Challenges for Bike/Ped with Proposed Objectives
It is tempting to reward projects with
bike/ped elements for both real and
imagined (or at least distant) outcomes Mode Shift: How closely should the metric align with this goal? How meaningful is the metric if it doesn’t? Reliability: Unlike transit, harder to improve upon the reliability/predictability of travel via biking/walking Safety: What if the near-term consequence of encouraging shift to a “safer” mode is more injuries/deaths?

Multimodal Impact Fees - Using Advanced Modeling Tools

Jonathan Slason

This document discusses transportation impact fees and how to account for multimodal capacity. It notes that comprehensive transportation master planning now incorporates multimodal travel beyond single modes. Land use changes have led to more urban development patterns that support non-auto travel. Transportation impact fees are used to fund necessary mobility infrastructure for new development but traditionally focused on roads; there are now challenges in properly accounting for and assessing multimodal demand and capacity. The document discusses using both top-down data from travel demand models and bottom-up site-specific data to bridge this gap and set multimodal transportation impact fees.
