Recommendation Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation 20220405-002E 04/05/22 WHEREAS Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) demographic forecasts are used in and have an influence on a wide range of public decisions, including federal highway funding, federal transit funding, traffic impact analysis for developments, and school district planning WHEREAS the demographics forecasts provided by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization assume that existing land use patterns and other governmental policies will persist into the future; WHEREAS in the absence of alternatives these forecasts are used to inform funding decisions, with the result that projects which support the current land use assumptions are more likely to be funded; WHEREAS having just a single forecast does not provide any information to governments about the likely impacts of policy changes; WHEREAS having just a single forecast makes it impossible to provide for events which might or might occur, such as passage of a transit referendum; WHEREAS the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) encourages states, local governments, and metropolitan planning organizations to use scenario planning processes, as outlined in MODEL LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLANS: A Guide for Incorporating Performance- Based Planning, August 2014, USDOT, FHWA () and Supporting Performance- Based Planning and Programming through Scenario Planning, June 2016, USDOT, FHWA; WHEREAS the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has started using scenario planning to entertain multiple reasonable future alternatives in equitable planning processes, and TxDOT Houston has developed the Sustainable Ways to Integrate Future Transportation (SWIFT) tool that could be adapted to the Austin region to facilitate equitable scenario planning processes; WHEREAS the CAMPO 2035 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) included elements of scenario planning that entertained various reasonable future growth scenarios, but these processes and advanced planning techniques seem to have been abandoned; WHEREAS the CAMPO 2045 RTP envisions a future that will result in the conversation of 350 square miles of currently rural or open space to be converted to suburban or urban, with 69% of the region’s expected 4 million residents living in car-dependent sprawl or rural areas, a future that is distinctly different than the visions articulated through various regional planning processes, such as Envision Central Texas; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the UTC requests that City Council direct its representatives to the CAMPO Transportation Policy Board to request that CAMPO adopt the following policy changes: ● Use an equitable, scenario-based planning approach, in which CAMPO staff co-create with diverse people from across the region, at least …

Introduction The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) is Austin's comprehensive, multimodal transportation plan, and it guides our short- and long-term transportation projects, programs, initiatives, and investments. Adopted in April 2019, the ASMP plans for all the ways we get around Austin. Council passed Resolution 20200610-002 in June 2020, “directing the City Manager to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (Ordinance No. 20190411-033) to add the Project Connect System Plan that includes the Locally Preferred Alternatives for the Orange, Blue, Gold, Green, and MetroRapid Lines, as adopted by the Capital Metro Board of Directors, to the ASMP and associated technical elements”. The ASMP is anticipated to go through a deeper evaluation for changes at the five-year mark, therefore, this two-year update is meant to remain limited in scope to respond to the Council Resolution and other significant changes in the past two years. Austin Transportation Department staff officially initiated the process to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) in May 2021. The initial phase of this process included an interdepartmental review of the ASMP policy document and the Street Network Table and Map. The interdepartmental review effort identified several potential policy amendments that were published for public comment in October 2021, and Street Network amendments were published for public comment soon after in November 2021. 2. Public Engagement Strategy This 2-year amendment cycle is the first amendment process since the ASMP was adopted in 2019. Since this process was meant to be limited in scope, and because it is the first amendment to the document, the public engagement …
