3 <br /> <br />Program Area: New and Emerging Transportation Technologies <br /> <br />Autonomous and Electric Vehicles <br />• Create a strategy to incorporate new and emerging transportation technologies into the TSP. <br /> <br />The City will be working with the Urbanism Next, a program of the Sustainable Cities Initiative of the <br />University of Oregon to develop a strategy to incorporate autonomous vehicles into the TSP. The <br />project will include 1) an analysis and summary of City policies that apply to autonomous vehicles, 2) <br />staff-recommended policy changes or new policies to support autonomous vehicle implementation that <br />meet City goals of safety, compact growth, and low-carbon transportation, and 3) evaluation of <br />anticipated impacts of autonomous vehicles on transportation infrastructure including signals, roads, <br />and parking capacity. <br /> <br />Cost: $65,000 <br />Funding Status: Yes, funding for strategy development secured. <br />Funding Source(s): FY2018 Supplemental Budget <br />Project schedule: Completion by September 2019 <br /> <br />The City has contracted with the Lane Council of Governments to incorporate an electric vehicles <br />strategy into the TSP. The project will examine the role of the City in encouraging more use of electric <br />vehicles in Eugene through provision of charging infrastructure, building codes, incentives and other <br />means. The strategy will include and describe what it would take to have a community fleet of 50% <br />electric vehicles by 2030 and 90% EVs by 2050. <br /> <br />Cost: $6,000 <br />Funding Status: Yes, funding for strategy development secured. <br />Funding Source(s): FY2018 Supplemental Budget <br />Project schedule: Completion by December 2018 <br /> <br />Program Area: Planning for Development <br />• Amend the City’s adopted Traffic Impact Analysis Code and administrative rule provisions to <br />expand the measurement of a proposed development’s traffic impacts beyond the level of <br />service measurement and, correspondingly, expand potential mitigation measures beyond <br />measures that address vehicular delay. <br />• Amend the Traffic Impact Analysis provisions to require a review of safety at intersections <br />through a comparison of the actual crash rate experienced during the past 3-5 years versus the <br />expected crash rate for similar facilities to determine whether improvements may be needed. <br /> <br />Depending on available funding, both of these actions may be addressed through the ODOT <br />Transportation and Growth Management grant to develop a TDM program. Combining these efforts will <br />enable the City to more holistically look at how development impacts the transportation system and <br />how vehicle trips can be mitigated. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />September 10, 2018, Work Session - Item 2
