June- August • TAC committees• TAC, TAB Policy, TAB• Transportation Committee – July 26• Council Adopted for Public Hearing – July 28• Public Comment Process – through Oct. 7• Plan Adoption - November
Schedule
Outreach & Public Comment• Aug. 31 (Blaine), Sept. 1 (Edina), Sept. 14

Less significant adjustments
• Overview – updates for consistency• Policies and Strategies – updates to reflect
rest of document• Finance – updated forecasts• Land Use – its role in transportation demand
Less significant adjustments
• Transit – update status, maps• Freight – update data• Bike/Ped – Complete Streets language• Federal Requirements – updates for
consistency
Chapter 5: Regional Mobility• Defines Congestion Management Process
(CMP) as required by federal law.• Emphasizes multi-modal approach to
addressing congestion― Highway System Management (TSM)― Transportation Demand Management (TDM)― Transit Opportunities― Land Use Policy
Chapter 5: Regional MobilityRecent TDM Study recommendations include:
• Focus local and regional TDM efforts on• employment centers• corridors with significant investments in multimodal
options
• Develop consistent regional performance measures for program evaluation
• Allocate future funding based on monitored performance
Chapter 6: HighwaysRegion has a strong foundation for implementing management solutions:
• Mn/DOT is a national leader in management infrastructure investments
• 300 miles of bus-only shoulders• Successful experiences with lower-cost/
high-benefit projects• Existing use of pricing
Chapter 6: HighwaysBuilding a flexible highway strategy:
• Manage rather than eliminate congestion• Lower-cost projects• Fully utilize right-of-way, pavement, capacity• Multi-modal system investments • Reservoir of future policy-consistent projects• Guidelines for locally initiated highway
projects

Chapter 6: Highways
MHSIS “Reservoir” of Projects• Approximately $1 billion to $1.5 billion in
projects• Final recommendations being developed
• How to grow MnPASS system• Integrate with MnPASS 2 analysis
Chapter 6: Highways
Non-Freeway Trunk Highway Investments: Policy Direction
• Preservation, safety and management investments
• Lower-Cost/High-Benefit Projects• Intersection conversion/mobility projects
based on Mn/DOT reassessment
Chapter 6: HighwaysIntersection Conversion: Policy Direction
• Land use authority incorporates access standards into subdivision and zoning ordinances
• In urban service area (MUSA)• Adjacent to existing interchange• Principal Arterials (PA) can only intersect with
other PAs and “A” minor arterials• Interchange space at least 2 miles outside ring
Chapter 6: Highways
Non-Freeway Trunk Highway Investments: Funding Sources
• Preservation Set Asides• Transportation System Management
(CMAQ)• Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP)• Cooperative Agreements• STP
Chapter 6: HighwaysProject Funding Priorities 2015 - 20
Category Projected Budget
Active Traffic Management (ATM)Add and Enhance Electronic Infrastructure of Trunk Highways ATM required for I-494 Managed Lane, Westbound from I-35W to TH 100
$30 million$23 million
$7 million
Lower-cost/High-benefitSet aside to be programmed through CMSP process under developmentAvailable for lower cost/high benefit projects in Table 6-ABC and othersHighway 252, add general purpose lane north and south of 81st Ave.

$120 million$60 million
$57 million
$3 million
Capacity EnhancementsAllocate money to Highway 610 to I-94 with lower-cost investment35E/Cayuga managed lane, direct connection to CBD and/or extensionMnPass 2 set aside; This would be reduced if Highway 610 or I-35E
costs increase
$170 million$85 million
$15-50 million
$35-70 million
Chapter 6: HighwaysRight-of-way (ROW) preservation:
• Policy 7: Focus RALF expenditures on projects consistent with this plan.
• Designation of Highway 101 as a PA replaces Dayton/Ramsey bridge as a PA
• Local preservation of ROW for future minor arterial connecting Dayton/Ramsey
• Mn/DOT to reassess Highway 41 for lower cost solution and determine ROW needs
Chapter 6: HighwaysAdditional Highway Needs
• New principal and “A” minor arterials • Non-Mn/DOT principal arterials
Chapter 7: Transit• Updates project status/maps • Adds Midtown, intercity rail, multimodal hubs
to transitway map• Revises language on revisiting commuter
rail feasibility• Acknowledges work on transitway guidelines
Chapter 10: Aviation
Aviation Plan• New 2030 Forecast• Incorporates results of technical evaluation• Keeps current functional classifications• Changes role of Forest Lake
Chapter 10: Aviation
Aviation Plan• Eliminates Search Area A• New LTCP’s for MSP, 3 reliever airports• Updates appendices
MnPASS Project Overview
Update to 2005 study – based on:• Proven MnPASS ability to safely provide
increased trip reliability as well as user choice in a cost-effective manner
• Met Council support for continued MnPASS/Managed Lane implementations
• New low cost design options
MnPASS Study Tasks• Developed criteria to identify viable
MnPASS projects• Developed prioritized list of MnPASS
corridors that can be implemented in the near term (2-10 years)
• Performed traffic and revenue analysis• Performed conceptual engineering analysis• Identified technological, policy, financial, and
institutional issues and barriers
MnPASS Corridor Selection Process
• Initial set of 19 corridors identified through stakeholder involvement, general assessment of need
• Narrowed down through high-level geometric screening
• List further refined through iterations of analysis and stakeholder meetings – ultimately leaving eight good candidates for consideration as MnPASS corridors
MnPASS Performance EvaluationSelected Performance Measures
• Measures consistent with MHSIS and Mn/DOT Long-Range Transportation Plan
• Some variation in MnPASS 2 and MHSIS results due to additional MnPASS study model refinements, different forecast years

MnPASS Financial Analysis Approach
• Financial analysis assumptions consistent with standard practice and typical Mn/DOT values
• B/C analysis consistent with analysis performed for the MHSIS as well as Mn/DOT standard B/C methodologies
― Benefits = vehicle operating and maintenance benefits and travel time savings
― Costs = capital costs, operating and maintenance costs, and salvage costs
Summary of Project Tiers for
Short-Term ImplementationPriority to Tier I and Tier II corridors
• Can be built early, easily and opportunistically • Strong transit services• Direct linkages to the downtowns• Regional equity• Build on the existing MnPASS system
Tier III corridors • Built in the mid- to longer-range• Serve as a powerful MnPASS beltway system
for growing outlying markets
Study Timeframe
Two to ten years
Policy ConsiderationsContext
Minnesota has been at the forefront for developing educational efforts and researching policy issues with respect to HOT lane acceptance
I-394 and I-35W have converted existing HOV lanes• Federal implications /rules • Equity issues (treatment of carpools) • There are no more HOV lanes in the Twin Cities; the next
MnPASS corridor creates/requires new policy decisions• Usage of toll revenues
New operations issues will be established by the next corridor, these are critical policy decisions for long term• Hours of operation• Occupancy requirements- a key issue for
revenue and performance• Pricing strategy
Policy ConsiderationsIssues related to Context (cont.)
