Prioritizing Transportation Projects Presentation Travis Gaede
PRIORITIZING TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
Presentation Overview Planning and Policy Context what guides the decisions? Investing in Mobility 2015-2024 a 10 year transportation infrastructure investment plan (IIP) Funding Sources where does funding come from, and how much is available? Prioritization Methodology - how to decide which projects to fund, and when?
Outcomes & Priorities (Effort) Long Term Planning Context 2006-2008 2009-2011 2012-2014 2015-2018 2020 Sustainability 30 year CTP & MDP 100 year vision Direction plan 30-60 year

The Calgary Transportation Plan Based on Plan It Calgary Linked to Municipal Development Plan (MDP) Guides Transportation plans and services Defines transportation network
Changes in How People Travel All purpose, all day trips - not only commuting trips
Investment Policies (CTP Section 2) Linked to MDP Part 5 Framework for Growth and Change Key policy direction: Highest Priority: Primary Transit and activity centres / corridors Increase reliability and safety for goods movement Increase capacity of existing infrastructure before building new Account for operating & maintenance costs Pursue new funding sources
The City s strategic plan for capital transportation infrastructure projects. It defines the priority and timing of projects, and helps inform Council s capital budget decisions as part of Action Plan 2015-2018.
The plan guides 4-year and 10-year investments Approvals 2012-2014 Action Plan 2015-2018
$3.7 billion / 10 years
10 Year infrastructure requirement = $5.6 billion Projected funding = $3.7 billion Includes GreenTRIP Phase 2 Assumes up to $150 million in Building Canada Fund Unfunded gap = $1.9 billion
2012 Shopping Mall Engagements Higher priorities Optimization Asset Management Lower priorities Growth Infrastructure
Infrastructure broken down into 4 core categories, based on Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP) Section 2 policies Target size (proportional) of each category calculated based on CTP / Transportation Levy analysis Candidate projects prioritized within each category separately Funding allocated to each category to reach category size targets (emphasis on existing infrastructure when funds are limited) Remaining candidate projects are unfunded pending new funding All prioritization is completed by Transportation Strategy team for consistency
2020 S.D. / BPBC3 Target Increase use of walking, cycling and transit Pro-Rated Target Scenario Optimize & Maintain Scenario Scenarios Department Targets Transit priority on 100% of Primary Transit Network 80% of roads maintained at or above good condition Transit vehicle fleet age maintained at 2009 levels Number of bridge structure with load restrictions Achieving Our Goals

Wide range of quantifiable criteria used Prioritization levels: Previous budget approval from Council Must be undertaken Relative priority of all other projects
General Criteria Prioritization Criteria Citizen concerns Achieving Council targets Transit Corridor Criteria Customer experience Link to land use Operational benefits Major Road Project Criteria Support for goods movement Capacity and safety
Different types of infrastructure have different criteria in this category (based on function, etc): Redevelopment Sites (will be phased out in favour of Growth Management) Transit Corridors (Council approved criteria from RouteAhead) Prioritized List Annual Programs (same criteria across categories for programs) Supporting Infrastructure (priority based on needs analysis, not ranked)
Redevelopment site criteria all ranked 0 to 3 based on data analysis: 1. Current level of transit activity 2. Current active modes accessibility 3. Primary Transit Network future connectivity 4. Population & job density (relative to MDP goals) 5. Development trends (5 yr historical + projections) 6. Up-to-date land use and transportation plans 7. Social need (low income, senior, youth accessibility) 8. Addresses asset management needs
Transit Corridor Prioritization Criteria:
Annual program prioritization criteria (the same across all categories): Responsiveness to citizen concerns (311) Contribution to 2020 Sustainability Direction Contribution to Council Direction and Targets

Different types of infrastructure have different criteria in this category (based on function, etc): Major Road Infrastructure Annual Programs (same criteria across categories for programs) Prioritized List Leading Suburban Growth Projects (automatically Required based on Growth Management list)
Major road project criteria all ranked 0 to 3 based on data analysis: 1. Travel time cost/benefit analysis 2. CTP road classification (goods movement, skeletal, etc.) 3. Network considerations (missing links, free flow, etc.) 4. Fixes existing bottlenecks 5. Truck volumes 6. Support for alternative modes (walk, cycle & transit) 7. Addresses traffic safety 8. Support for development (as per MDP policy) 9. Addresses asset management needs (pavement quality index)
