1 Vermont State Standards and Complete Streets Kevin S. Marshia, P.E. - Chief Engineer
2 VSS History The driver public input that designs were over designed for their community Developed by committee: VTrans, ANR, DHP, RPC, Vermont Council on the Arts, Preservation Trust, FHWA, private citizens Implemented as legislative rules in 1997 Minority report written in 1997 by committee engineers Since 1997 has used to design and deliver transportation projects.
3 VSS Purpose 1. To provide clear technical direction to the designers of transportation projects in Vermont 2. To achieve roadway and bridge designs which provide access, mobility and safety for users, and which are also sensitive to the social and environmental context of Vermont
4 VSS Balance The physical attributes of roadways which are important for user safety The transportation planning policies guiding the region and community The need for access to, and mobility along a roadway The presence of historic sites and districts The presence of natural resources & environmental factors The social context of the communities within which the facility exists The economic development needs of the community, region & state
5 Complete Streets VT s first Bicycle and Pedestrian Guide was developed in early 2000 s and has had several subsequent updates Supplement to the VT State Standards In 2011 AARP came to our legislature with a proposal.complete STREETS! Worked with legislature to remind them of our current practices, our VT State Standards and the integration of the Complete Street principles in our culture Legislation passed
6 2011 Legislation * * * Complete Streets* * * Sec. 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this bill is to ensure that the needs of all users of Vermont s transportation system including motorists, bicyclists, public transportation users and pedestrians of all ages and abilities are considered in all state and municipally managed transportation projects and project phases These complete streets principles shall be integral to the transportation policy of Vermont.
7 Complete Streets Practice Created a Complete Street Guide which lays out the considerations, exemptions, best practices and principles Exemptions are: Prohibited by law - (i.e. limited access highway) Scope of project (i.e. crack sealing) Cost Disproportionate to anticipated use Education on guide required, need for training on implementing principles was minor Four years experience working well, no major issues
8 2014 Legislation * * * Vermont Design Standards * * * Sec. 26. RECOMMENDATIONS TO UPDATE VERMONT STATE DESIGN STANDARDS (a) Prior to updating the Vermont State Standards for the Design of Transportation Construction, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of Freeways, Roads and Streets (Vermont State Standards), the Secretary shall establish a multidisciplinary Stakeholders Group consisting of representatives of public and private sector entities from the various modes of transportation affected by the Vermont State Standards to provide the Agency with critical input in revising the Standards.
9 Legislation, cont d (b) Purpose and charge. The Stakeholders Group shall: (1) Review the current Vermont State Standards and identify areas of the Standards that require modification to be current with state-of-practice transportation facility design. (2) Identify barriers, gaps, and opportunities that exist in current Agency design practices, standards, and guidance to address the needs of all transportation modes in a variety of contexts. (3) Document the opportunities that exist to modify the existing Vermont State Standards to meet current state-ofthe-industry practices.
10 Smart Growth America M2D2 Smart Growth America Multimodal Development and Delivery process Performed Gap Analysis with stakeholders Provided multimodal workshops led by national experts Identified issues, barriers and opportunities for next version of VSS Provided us with a Work Plan
11 Gaps and issues to address Classifying the transportation system Incorporate Safety culture, quantitative and qualitative Balancing local placemaking with operations and maintenance needs Designing for all modes: Peds, Bikes, Trucks, Transit Being forward-looking Balancing the needs of different users within the same right-of-way Balance between user needs and resource impacts A framework for risk based decision making Other gaps Documents to reference
12 Some Lessons Learned The Vermont State Standards should: Balance flexibility with clear and concise design guidance Needs to be the driving force between alignment and consistency between different manuals and documents Provide a framework for identifying tradeoffs between the needs of different modes and users of the transportation system
13 Classifying the transportation system Agency of Transportation Going beyond functional classification/taking a corridor approach Including specific guidance for different design vehicles (plow, truck, bus, bike, etc.) Addressing transitions between city/town/village/suburban/rural Photo: David Wilson, Flickr
14 Key Recommendations New chapter on the design decision-making framework and process Introduce a context-based roadway classification system to complement the existing functional classification approach Provide detailed guidance on selecting appropriate design vehicles and balancing the needs of all users (trucks, transit, maintenance, bicycles, pedestrians, others) Include a range of design options for different contexts and provide illustrations of design concepts
15 VSS Rewrite - Help Needed RFP looking for national experience looking to ensure that we are with the national state of the practice Project Phases: Develop framework and focus areas Review of all design guides, policies, etc. Create a document that integrates and aligns all design principles Implementation plan that includes training, web based support and recommended policy changes
16 VSS Rewrite - Help Needed Intensive effort needing external resources RFP looking for national experience looking to ensure that we are with the national state of the practice Project Phases: Develop framework and focus areas Review of all design guides, policies, etc. Create a draft that integrates and aligns
