Urban Transportation Commission Transportation Criteria Manual Update December 8, 2020 Meeting 1 AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TCM Update Overview The criteria presented in the updated Transportation Criteria Manual provide a foundation or starting point for engineering design decisions. The criteria presented in the manual are based largely upon the standards, guidelines and policies set forth by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation (AASHTO), National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Summary of Significant Changes: • Prioritized safety for sustainable modes of travel (peds, bikes, etc.) • Modernized criteria to be in line with current local & national best practices • Introduced flexible design to account for existing conditions • Updated criteria for analysis of development transportation impacts 2 TransportationCM@austintexas.gov @austinmobility facebook.com/ATXTransportation AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT Project Timeline 2018-2020 2020 November 2020 Early 2021 Spring 2021 We Are Here Internal & External Input and Review Internal and External Input & Review Internal Draft Refinement Public Concurrence (Comment Period) Final Document Refinement Formal Rules Posting Process (Training Materials post-adoption) 3 TransportationCM@austintexas.gov @austinmobility facebook.com/ATXTransportation AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT Updated TCM Table of Contents • Section 1: What is the TCM, Vision, and Goals • Section 2: Street Cross Sections • Section 3: Design Criteria • Section 4: Pedestrian Zone • Section 5: Bikeways and Urban Trails • Section 6: Transit • Section 7: Driveways • Section 8: Temporary Traffic Control • Section 9: Parking and Loading • Section 10: Comprehensive Transportation Review • Section 11: Offsets and Rails • Section 12: Small Cell Facilities in the ROW • Section 13: Structures in the Right-of-Way 4 TransportationCM@austintexas.gov @austinmobility facebook.com/ATXTransportation AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT Sample Content: Figures & Tables High conflict density High conflict density Low conflict density Low conflict density High activity Low activity High activity Low activity Street Context Street Level Level 0 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 1 20 mph or lower 10 mph 20-25 mph 25-30 mph 30-35 mph 10 mph 20 mph 25 mph 30 mph 35 mph 10 mph 20 mph 25 mph 30 mph 35 mph 10 mph 20-25 mph 25-30 mph 30-35 mph 35-40 mph 5 TransportationCM@austintexas.gov @austinmobility facebook.com/ATXTransportation AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SpeakUp Austin Website What’s on the project website? • Full Draft Document PDF • Videos with brief overview of content • Comment Boxes per Section Videos 6 TransportationCM@austintexas.gov @austinmobility facebook.com/ATXTransportation AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK! • SpeakUp Austin Website: www.speakupaustin.org/transportation-criteria-manual • Ways to Give Comments: • SpeakUp Austin Website (on each Section home page) • Email: TransportationCM@austintexas.gov Comment Period Open until December 31, 2020 7 TransportationCM@austintexas.gov @austinmobility facebook.com/ATXTransportation AUSTIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT
