4 Introduction to the COMPASS Region The largest metropolitan area in the fastestgrowing state (Idaho) 700,000+ population Unique transportation assets including a shortline railroad with 60+ active customers Diversified economy: Motive Power, Simplot, HP, Micron, Winco, Albertsons, Western Trailers History of previous freight-focused planning 4

5 2015 Agricultural Freight Study

6 SHRP2 Freight Data Collection

7 Big Four Study Questions (to address the issues) What is the current composition of freight land uses and facilities in the COMPASS region, and how can regional governments improve coordination of freightdependent land uses and transportation investments? How should the COMPASS region improve the economic competitiveness of freight-dependent industries? How can the COMPASS region improve freight safety and reliability, including on last-mile connections? How should COMPASS identify and prioritize solutions for freight needs, including costs? 7

20 Freight and the Economy Total freight-dependent GDP is $9.7 billion more than 15 times the GDP generated by Transportation and Warehousing alone $9.7 billion in regional GDP, 29% of the region's total GDP 63,359 jobs, 16% of the region's total employment $3.8 billion in annual income, 21% of the total employment income for residents in the region Source: CPCS analysis of TREDIS 20

24 Details of Approach Data-Driven Functionally Focused Truck volumes are based on a hybrid of truck counts from COMPASS, supplemented by truck GPS data received from ATRI and processed by the study team. The GPS data allow for coverage across the entire study region. Access to freight clusters is also integrated. Truck corridors fulfill many objectives, including providing regional connectivity and lastmile access. We have defined five categories of truck corridors: Key Regional Corridors Key Connectors Supporting Connectors Other Truck Connectors (Last- Mile and Agricultural Routes) 24

27 Final Truck Corridors Map is based on existing truck volumes ( using truck count and truck GPS data). Categories are based on existing volume and cluster conditions, not designed for planning purposes. Source: CPCS 27

31 Truck Delay Hotspots Franklin Rd/ 21 st St. Speeds drop from mph overnight to mph during day. At-grade crossing and narrows to 2-lane road. 1. I-84 in Nampa Transition from 3 to 2 lanes. WB speeds drop to 15 mph in PM peak hour, from 60 mph. EB also slow in AM peak. 11. Chinden Blvd. West of Eagle Rd. All-day delays, down to mph from 50 mph overnight. 4. Curtis Rd. Slowdowns throughout entire day down to mph from 25 mph. Delay densest around I-84 interchange. 10. Karcher Rd. Between Midway and Florida. Peak period congestion, especially PM peak. 14. Karcher Rd. Between Montana and west of 10 th Ave. Speeds drop from mph overnight to mph for much of day. 5. Karcher Rd. Congestion throughout day, especially in PM peak. Delay densest at Caldwell Blvd. and at I-84 interchange. 8. Franklin Blvd. Congestion throughout day, delay densest at I-84 interchange. 15. Caldwell Blvd. Delay hotspot at Hotspot 5 (Karcher Rd.). Afternoon congestion, especially PM peak. 2. Eagle Road Congested throughout the day. Lack of available N-S crossings across interstate. 3. I-84 in Meridian/Boise Heavy peak commuter traffic causing slowdowns in both directions. 7. Cole Rd. Delay around I-84 interchange. Slowest speeds are midday (around 12-2) 15 mph down from 25 mph. 9. Federal Way Hotspot near Broadway Ave. interchange. Delays concentrated in peak periods. 12. Franklin Rd. / St. Hotspot near I-184 interchange. All-day congestion in mall area speeds drop from 30 mph to mph. 13. Orchard St. Hotspot near I-84 interchange and to the north where no left-turn lanes.

34 How it All Fits Together Freight Clusters Employment: Infogroup, IDOL ATRI Truck Trip Ends Truck Volumes ATRI Truck GPS Data COMPASS Classification Data Crash Data ITD Truck-Related Crashes Delay Data ATRI Truck GPS Data (Current) Truck Network Four categories for truck corridors Performance Metrics Safety, delay, issues mentioned in consultations Prioritized Freight Needs List of top regional freight needs Industry Consultations With approx. two dozen industry stakeholders 34

35 Prioritizing Freight Needs Purpose Helps regional policymakers (e.g. COMPASS) integrate freight into their processes Presents a clear, consistent, and methodologically sound framework for comparing freight needs across the region Can help direct state or federal funds to the right projects, and ensure freight needs are explicitly considered 35

37 Top Regional Freight Needs (1-4) #1. I-84 in Nampa Issues: Safety, Delay, Consultations - #1 Truck Bottleneck - Consultees note need to widen to Caldwell #4. US-20/26 Through the Region Issues: Safety, Delay, Consultations - #7 Truck Bottleneck - Consultees note this could be better used as an E-W route #2. Eagle Road Issues: Safety, Delay, Consultations - #2 Truck Bottleneck - Consultees note this is a key north-south route through the region and is congested at peak hours #3. I-84 Through the Region Issues: Safety, Delay, Consultations - #3 Truck Bottleneck - Consultees note that the interstate is congested at peak hours due to competition from 37 passenger vehicles

38 How this Study Adds Value Informational Fills gaps on understanding the freight sector in the region: - Supply chains - Economic impact - Freight clusters - Freight corridors Practical Based on: - Real data from the region - Consultations with industry professionals in the region - Supports existing efforts in transportation sector Actionable Serves to support real projects in the region: - Supports long-range transportation planning by including freight needs - Can support future updates to CUFC network for federal funding - Can support ITD project planning Adaptable Framework can be easily adjusted and modified in the future: - Data updates (e.g. new delay and safety data, new truck volume data) - New factors (can include planning angle) - New freight needs 38
