t Three: TPR Alternative Performance Measures <br /> <br />Background on LCDC Approval <br /> <br /> Oregon's Transpor~tion Plannhag Rule ~PR) requires that TransPlan comply with certaha <br /> performance measUres (either a Velficle Miles TrTaveled per capita target or ~ltemative <br /> ~easures). As described in Table 6 (Chapter 4, Page 5), vMT per ca3ita is expected to <br /> remain v~lly unchanged through 5015 (1-percer~t de;rease). As a result, th~ region w~ll not <br /> meet the reduction in ~T per c~pka Called ?or ha the TPR. ~he TPR provides th~t, should a <br /> plan not meet the VMT reduction targets, alternative measures can be developed to <br /> demonstrate compliance w/th the TPR. The alternative measures must demo~tmte that: <br /> <br /> (A) A the alternative standard will result ha a reduction in reliance on <br /> automobiles; <br /> <br /> (B) Actfiev/ng the alternative standard will accomplish a sigrhficant increase in the <br /> availability or conven~ence of alternative modes of transportation; <br /> <br /> (C) the alternative standard is tLkely to result ha a sigrfificant increase ha the <br /> share of ~ps made by modes, including walldng, bicycling, fidesharhag <br /> and transit; <br /> <br /> (D) VMT per capita is unl/kely to hacrease by more than 5 pement; and, <br /> <br /> (E) The alternative standard is measurable and reasonably related to ach/evhag the goal <br /> of reduced reliance on the automobile as described in OAR 660-012-0000. <br /> <br />Alternafi,~e Performance Measures were developed to address th/s requkement. While these <br />me s have been ~ucorporated kuto Table 6, ~ more detailed description of the measures and <br />related harem ben are Presented ha T&ble 7. These measure~ were approved by LCDC on <br />MaY 4th, 2001. Tbe CommissiOn Order approving the measures is attached as Appencl~ G. <br /> <br />Based on/ts review, the Comm/ssion approved the proposed alternative standard with the <br />followhag concht/ons: <br /> <br /> 1. Assure that the methodology for calculathag non-auto mode split is adjusted to <br /> acex>unt for knproved com~ng of non-ant~ trips to assure ~ resul[s ~u ach/evhag <br /> th/s standard are not the result of fiuproved counthag of non-auto trips. <br /> <br /> 2. Develop a deflation of qualifyhag dwelling un/ts and employment ha nodes that <br /> /ncludes only those dwell/rig un/ts and employment that are Clearly consistent wSth <br /> Lmplementhag the nodal development strategy. <br /> <br /> Revise the "haterLm benchmarks" for dwellhags and employment ha nodes to be <br /> clearly consistent wSth achievhag the 20-year performance standard. <br /> <br />TrarmPlan ~.~ ~ ~ .... <br /> <br />Exhibit A - Page 62 <br />TransPlan Amendments <br /> <br />Chapter 4, Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
