2 Agenda 1 Performance-based planning what is it? 3 2 How is performance-based planning addressed in the TTP? 6 3 TTP Needs and Investment Approaches 8 4 TTP 2040 Next Steps 22 2

3 3 All About Performance The term performance has been sprinkled around the transportation industry for some time. MAP-21 establishes an outcome-driven approach for highway investment, where states and metropolitan planning organizations shall work to measure, manage, and improve upon the conditions and performance of transportation assets. How can we ensure that we invest wisely to achieve performance goals over time?

4 Performance-based Planning Establish goals and objectives Understand the to achieve those goals - needs are not wishlists Evaluate scenarios or investment strategies - we do not have enough resources to reach good or better everywhere what can be sacrificed? Develop recommend investment strategy and preferred capital program allocation - not project-specific Integrate findings into budget allocation and project prioritization Implement/ track implementation Track performance - over time 4

5 Performance Measures Measures are the icing, not the cake Important to decisionmakers and stakeholders Influenced by agency Suitable for context/ meet requirements Supported by existing resources Good Measures Support predictive capacity 5

6 The Texas Transportation Plan Size and scope of the Texas transportation system: Existing conditions System goals and objectives Current and future demand Long-range transportation needs by mode Investment scenarios Long-range transportation needs: costs to preserve, maintain, and expand Texas transportation system to meet good or better conditions over the Plan horizon (MAP-21- compliant goals) Plan investment scenarios: show tradeoffs among Plan goals and objectives - we can t do it all! 6

7 TTP DRAFT Goal Areas Summary Strategic Plan Goals Maintain a Safe System Address Congestion Connect Texas Communities Become a Best-in-Class State Agency Financial Sustainability DRAFT TTP Goal Areas Safety Asset Management (All modes) Mobility and Reliability (People & Freight) Multimodal Connectivity (People & Freight) Stewardship Customer Service MAP-21 Goal Areas Safety Infrastructure Condition (State of good repair) Congestion Reduction Congestion Reduction Environmental Sustainability Freight Mobility Access to Service (All modes) Reduced Project Delivery Delays System Reliability Economic Vitality Infrastructure Condition (State of good repair) 7

8 Needs Assessment Unconstrained multimodal needs serve as the basis for investment approaches and MetroQuest Tool Unconstrained needs by mode were developed to meet TTP goals: Presented in $2014 constant dollars for the 25-year horizon Consistent with MAP-21 Developed using performance curves - can be reduced when performance goals are reduced (e.g. capacity needs) 15

9 Total Needs Highway/ Bridge/ ITS (TxDOT) costs to achieve SGR on NHS (bridge and pavement) and expand system to LOS C > $15 billion annually Freight/ aviation/ transit (non-txdot): > $5 billion annually + Total statewide multimodal needs: > $20 billion annually Statewide multimodal needs for TxDOT and its transportation partners cannot be achieved under our current revenue forecast The TTP explores alternatives using scenario planning and performance-based budgeting 24

10 Investment Approach 1: System Preservation This scenario is focused on investing in the existing State transportation system to achieve state-of-good-repair for highway, bridge, and transit assets. Deficient assets with respect to condition and/ or performance (e.g., functional obsolescence) will be prioritized and addressed. 9

11 Investment Area Approach 1 - Performance Goals Cost Pavement Bridge/ Culvert Achieve and maintain SGR for existing State-owned highways with proactive maintenance and capital reinvestment Achieve and maintain state-of-good-repair for existing State-owned bridges and culverts with proactive maintenance and capital reinvestment $108 B $42 B ITS Maintain SGR for existing assets $2 B Capacity Allow congestion to worsen $0 Transit Achieve and maintain SGR for existing assets and existing service levels $73 B Safety/ Other Address any additional safety needs $5 B Total Estimated Cost of Approach 1 (2014 $) $230 B 11

12 Investment Approach 2: Metropolitan Mobility This scenario is focused on addressing congestion in urban and suburban areas through strategic capacity enhancements, operational improvements, and investments in multimodal facilities. Focus will be placed on increasing travel time reliability and on enhancing transit in the fastest-growing areas. 10

13 Investment Area Pavement Bridge/ Culvert Approach 2 - Performance Goals Achieve and maintain SGR for the Interstate system with proactive maintenance and capital reinvestment Achieve and maintain state-of-fair-repair for existing State-owned bridges and culverts with proactive maintenance and capital reinvestment; achieve SGR on Interstate system Cost $83 B $39 B ITS Maintain SGR for existing assets and deploy new ITS in metropolitan areas $14 B Capacity Ensure LOS D or better in metropolitan areas $235 B Transit Safety/ Other Achieve and maintain SGR for existing and new assets in metro areas; expand beyond existing service levels Address any additional safety needs as well as bike and pedestrian needs statewide Total Estimated Cost of Approach 2 (2014 $) $96 B $8 $475 B 13

14 Investment Approach 3: Connectivity & Freight Mobility This scenario is focused on rural investment to facilitate the movement of goods and services and support Texas industry. Focus will be placed on improving interregional connectivity, specifically along primary freight corridors identified in the TFMP and between economic activity centers, and on providing rural residents with access to goods and services. 11

15 Investment Area Pavement Bridge/ Culvert Approach 3 - Performance Goals Achieve and maintain SGR for the Primary Freight Network with proactive maintenance and capital reinvestment Achieve and maintain state-of-fair-repair for existing State-owned bridges and culverts with proactive maintenance and capital reinvestment; achieve SGR on Primary Freight Network Cost to Achieve $93 B $36 B ITS Maintain SGR for existing assets $2 B Capacity Transit Safety/ Other Eliminate freight bottlenecks (LOS C or better on Primary Freight Network) Achieve and maintain SGR for existing and new assets in rural areas; expand beyond existing service levels and add intercity passenger rail Address any additional safety needs as well as bike and pedestrian needs statewide and Primary Freight Network rumble strips Total Estimated Cost of Approach 3 (2014 $) $246 B $74 B $9 B $460 B 15
