Current Status□At the July meeting, TPB members were
briefed on:□A recap of options identified for a regional
initiative to link transportation and land use□Typical projects funded by grant programs in
other regions□Potential challenges to initiating a similar
program in this region, and how those challenges might be addressed
□Next steps, including a “gap analysis” to identify need for and potential benefits of a regional initiative
□In review . . .

Initiative OptionsOption 1: Administer a grant program for both
planning and capital activities, with funding awarded to projects based on merit and adherence to set criteria
□ Patterned after MTC – San Francisco ($30 million/year)Option 2: Administer a grant program for planning
activities only, with funding awarded to projects based on merit and adherence to set criteria
□ Patterned after DVRPC – Philadelphia ($1-2 million/year)Option 3: Using resources out of the TPB Unified
Planning Work Program, identify priority transportation needs (large- and small-scale) crucial to strengthening regional land use/transportation linkages (existing UPWP funds)

Option 3 would be fairly easy to implement . . .
□Priority projects or needs reflecting regional priorities and RMAS scenario study insights would be highlighted
□The TPB would facilitate discussion about promising regional initiatives, explore funding options, and promote inclusion of projects in the CLRP
□Could be accomplished with current TPB capacity and funding
![Page 5: Strengthening the Linkages Between Land Use and Transportation Planning in the Washington Region Presentation to the TPB Technical Committee September.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062809/5697c0191a28abf838cce3a7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Options 1 and 2 would present unique challenges . .
.□Accommodating a Multi-State Region
□Funds that come from each state would only go toward projects in that state
□Developing Appropriate Selection Criteria□The TPB could appoint a task force to
develop a process and criteria, potentially based on TPB Vision Goals, Objectives, and Strategies, and results of the Regional Mobility and Accessibility Study

And the biggest challenge of all . . .
□Funding the Program□Other MPOs have funded grant programs with
a combination of STP, CMAQ, TE, and other sources; the situation in this region is more complex, as each of the three jurisdictions has a different method of allocating these funds to projects
□A similar program here would have to be set up to avoid diminishing funding sources already committed to needed transportation activities
□Direct funding support from the governors and the mayor could enable such an initiative to move forward

Concerns Expressed in July □ Moving forward with Options 1 or 2 is not
feasible unless sources of new money are identified□ Letter from Chairman Knapp to the governors and the
mayor intended to explore possibilities and inform discussion
□ A better understanding is necessary of current activity in the region and value added, if any, by a regional initiative beyond these efforts. □ The TPB was promised a preliminary “gap analysis” in
September □ If warranted by this analysis, discussion of
implementing one or more of the three options would move forward

Gap Analysis□Inventory recent or current
activities linking transportation and land use in the region□Based on feedback from TPB
Technical Committee and staff research
□Identify potential benefits of a regional initiative□Based on experience in other regions
and inventory of recent or current activities in our region

What value can be added through a new regional initiative?
□Raise the profile of local efforts by emphasizing the regional context of the work being done, and build on the current momentum in the region
□Provide additional assistance and funding for local efforts
□Support efforts to secure additional investment in the region’s transportation system
![Page 23: Strengthening the Linkages Between Land Use and Transportation Planning in the Washington Region Presentation to the TPB Technical Committee September.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062809/5697c0191a28abf838cce3a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Potential Benefits of Option 3: Highlighting Projects and Needs Using Existing TPB
Funds□Facilitate the sharing of experiences and
strategies region-wide□Supply local jurisdictions with useful
resources such as national best practices and localized modeling information
□Place pending local projects in a regional context, potentially building support and creating opportunities for partnerships and leveraging of resources
![Page 24: Strengthening the Linkages Between Land Use and Transportation Planning in the Washington Region Presentation to the TPB Technical Committee September.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062809/5697c0191a28abf838cce3a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Potential Benefits of Option 2: Funding Planning Activities
□All the benefits of Option 3, plus:□Increase technical assistance available to local
governments□Provide more visibility to local planning efforts
through regional selection and funding □Increase public involvement, facilitate
stakeholder cooperation, and promote pooling of resources of multiple stakeholders
□Improve treatment of infrastructure challenges on periphery of development sites
![Page 25: Strengthening the Linkages Between Land Use and Transportation Planning in the Washington Region Presentation to the TPB Technical Committee September.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062809/5697c0191a28abf838cce3a7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Potential Benefits of Option 1: Planning and Capital Projects□All the benefits of Options 2&3, plus:□Provide additional financial incentives for
development of projects that link land use and transportation
□Accelerate implementation of projects by making more funds available
□Assist locations where transportation investment is needed to catalyze revitalization or facilitate development
![Page 26: Strengthening the Linkages Between Land Use and Transportation Planning in the Washington Region Presentation to the TPB Technical Committee September.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062809/5697c0191a28abf838cce3a7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Why should we be doing anything more?
□A proactive regional approach to linking transportation and land use could respond to key concerns at the top of the public policy agenda, and promote more creative use of transportation dollars
![Page 27: Strengthening the Linkages Between Land Use and Transportation Planning in the Washington Region Presentation to the TPB Technical Committee September.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062809/5697c0191a28abf838cce3a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Next Steps
□The TPB has before it three paths forward:□Exhort staff to continue and strengthen efforts
encompassed by Option 3 using existing TPB resources, and follow the status of these efforts
□Pursue Option 2 – funding planning activities – including forming a task force to develop selection criteria and seeking funding for a start-up program
□Pursue Option 1 – implementation of a program to fund both planning and capital projects – including forming a task force to develop selection criteria and seeking significant amounts of funding
