Cindy Burbank's Presentation to the 2009 Highway Users Annual MeetingJames Barnes
Climate change is real and already occurring, according to scientific evidence. Significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 60-80% below 1990 levels are needed by 2050 to mitigate climate change. For the transportation sector, a fair target would be a 60-80% reduction below current levels. Transportation GHG reductions can come from five areas: vehicle efficiency, low-carbon fuels, reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), improving vehicle and system operations, and making construction and maintenance more sustainable. Vehicle and fuel technology improvements can achieve most reductions for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) through 2030, but additional strategies are needed like lowering VMT growth, improving traffic flow, expanding carpooling and transit, and

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL: OIL ADDICTION IMPLICATIONS FOR URBAN TRANSPORTAndre Dantas
This document analyzes the implications of oil addiction for urban transport in Christchurch, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia. It finds that both cities are highly dependent on oil for transportation due to low-density development and car-dominant travel patterns. Scenario analysis shows that even minor fuel shortages would be difficult to manage given this dependency. While both cities have plans to improve sustainability, the initiatives are not comprehensive enough and do not adequately address potential oil supply issues. A new approach is needed across planning, policy and governance to transition these areas away from oil addiction and better prepare for energy constraints.
The document discusses the importance of sustainability in major infrastructure projects. It notes that climate change, resource depletion, and health issues require new approaches that are more sustainable. Specifically, it calls for more sustainable energy, buildings, and transportation. The document also discusses challenges like designing infrastructure to account for climate change impacts, conducting economic and environmental modeling, and selecting sustainable materials. Overall, it argues that sustainability must be a central consideration in planning and developing future infrastructure projects.

2. Changes in Washington
• Rise of Issues Significant for Redevelopment
– Climate
– Transportation
– Infrastructure
– Foreclosure
– Economic Stimulus
– Energy
• Change in Administration, Changes in Congress

Vehicle Efficiency (mpg)
Fuel Greenhouse Gas content (Fuel GHG)
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
Need progress on all three, but climate policy
discussions have ignored VMT

7. The 3 Questions Answered in
Growing Cooler
• What reduction in vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) is
possible in the United States with compact
development rather than continuing urban sprawl?
• What reduction in CO2 emissions will accompany
such a reduction in VMT?
• What policy changes will be required to shift the
dominant land development pattern from sprawl to
compact development?
– Does the U.S. want compact development?

14. What Growing Cooler
Does Not Include: Revitalization
• According to NTHP:
– a 50,000 sq ft office
building= 640,000 gals
of gas
– Bldg new is like driving
2.8 million miles
– New EE bldg takes 65
yrs to break even
15.
16. Transportation
• Interstate Era (1956) --- things start to get
bumpy, especially for cities and the poor
– Boston, Portland, New Orleans
• ISTEA (1991) – bringing in other modes, clean
air, and planning
• TEA-21/SAFETEA-LU (1998, 2005) – stay
the course,
• 2009 - $286 billion and what have we got?
17. What if…
• $286 Billion was directed towards:
– Reinvesting in existing communities and maintaining our
past investments
– Redeveloping and revitalizing communities because these
activities are both a transportation and a climate solution
– Giving metro areas a fair share
– Bringing balance to transportation systems within existing
communities so that biking, walking and public
transportation are attractive options rather than the last
resort.
• Transportation would become an engine for
Redevelopment rather than an engine of
disinvestment
18. What’s different this time?
• Transportation Fiscal Crisis Actually, A Lot
– Robbing from Peter (transit) to pay Paul (hwy)
– Recession and stimulus
– Crisis in the states
• Political change in leadership
– House and Senate dynamics
– In the White House and at US DOT
• Trends and Voices for Change
– More at stake: economy, climate, population growth and demographic
changes, energy costs
• Agreement that it’s broke
19. A National Wake-Up Call
– Safety and security
– Energy security and oil dependency
– Growing traffic congestion
– Rising energy costs
– Global climate change crisis
21. Evidence of Change
Transportation Ballot Measures
2006 - 2007
Statewide
Local Measure(s)

Transportation Statewide & Local Measures
Excellence
Almost 70% of State & Local Transportation Measures Approved
22. Taking ait to the Streets
Over 18000 schools now have Safe
Routes to School program. 43 states are
making investments to support these
programs.

25. Articulating a Vision: Greensboro, NC--
Southside Neighborhood
Annual tax base in this area went from
$400K before redevelopment (1995) to over
$10 million after redevelopment (2003).
Southside benefited
from a general
downtown renaissance,
but also helped to give
momentum to that
turnaround.
27. Doing the Analysis
More networking
• Arterial spacing < 1 mile (fewer lanes per
street?)
28. Development Patterns affect
Quality of Life
• Public is beginning to link development patterns to
quality of life
• Different
patterns of
development
may help
save on
school
transportation
costs

35. Taking Stock
• Our issues now frame the debate
in many parts of the country.
• There is a coherent message and a
well articulated set of design and
policy techniques.
• A great deal of public education
has occurred.
• An increasing # of example
projects on the ground.
• An increasing # policy examples
“on the ground.”
36. Taking Stock (cont.)
• There is increasing acceptance
in the private sector.
• There is wide agreement that
the market for SG is at least 1/3
and likely to rise.
• We can count a number of
relatively new supporters:
health advocates, environmental
groups, alt transportation
advocates, local leaders,
developers, architects, housing
organizations, realtors, state
level groups, and others.

41. But…Are We Prepared for Our
Success?
• As a result of our work, and macro-trends which
puts the wind at our back, big opportunities exist
now that didn’t ten years ago.
• We need to do a different kind of work to take
advantage of them.
• We need to create, and focus political will on a
specific change agenda.
42. We Need to Create, and Focus
Political Will on a Specific
Change Agenda.
43. Concern
• Health Impact Assessments

• Brownfield Tax Credits
• Change State Investment Patterns
• Stream Buffers
• Affordable Housing Fund
47. Another Concern
• Health Impact Assessments
• New Rehab Rules
• Reform Transportation and Parking Rules
• Brownfield Tax Credits
• Change State Investment Patterns
• Stream Buffers
• Affordable Housing Fund
• Green Jobs and Green Buildings
49. Exporting OR’s Measure 37
• Kelo-Plus strategy
• “Capitalize on the
tremendous public and
political momentum
generated in the aftermath
of the Kelo ruling…”
52. T4America
Making Transportation Work for the America in the 21st Century
• Launching a new national reform campaign
• Goal of Re-energizing, Re-building, Re-
engaging the Progressive Transportation
Advocacy Movement to Influence Federal
Policy
• Build and support state and local efforts
53. Inform the Debate
• 2008 – let the games begin
– Recommendations from Federal Study commissions
– Bankruptcy of Highway Trust Fund
– Administration position revealed
– Congressional Hearings and Action
– Presidential and Congressional Elections
• 2009 – new leadership
– SAFETEA-LU Bill expires
– New Congress and New Administration
54. What is success?
• Re-envision purpose and outcomes:
– The role of transportation investments is to reduce our nation’s
dependency on oil, to lower household transportation costs, to provide
mobility options to all, to reduce our carbon footprint VS. just reduce
congestion
• Double transit ridership,
• Reduce VMT growth by 50%,
• Restructure and empower metropolitan decision making,
• Create a national intermodal program for large scale investments,
• Explicitly allow transportation funding for land use and community
development programs
55. Make Our Voices Heard
The system is broken, and broke
• Reform from below: strengthen and support state,
local, and metro efforts
• Reform from above:
– At the Congressional level: Identify and grow our allies,
legislative proposals, and messengers
– New Administration: Full plate – will transportation reform
be on it?
• Reform from within: draw connections
56. Where we want to be tomorrow
• Engage with you to make reform a reality; in your
communities, states, and in Congress
