This document discusses the concept of livability and provides examples of how different transportation agencies have promoted livability through policies, partnerships, and design. Livability involves creating healthy, sustainable communities with strong neighborhoods, vibrant town centers, access to jobs and opportunities, and integration of land use and transportation. Case studies show how agencies have used policies supporting transit-oriented development, partnerships with local groups, and street design changes to improve livability at various scales.

Building Sustainable Communities: Urban Planning in the Portland Metro Regi...South Fraser Blog
Presentation by Oregon Metro Councilor Collette in which she give a general overview of the Metro Portland region and the role of the elected Oregon Metro Council. She gives information on Metro’s role in land-use planning, the urban growth boundary, and the region’s long-term planning document: Region 2040. She focuses on the link between land-use planning and transportation plan, and how Portland is in the business of designing multi-modal transportation corridors today. She also outlines the region’s priorities for high-capacity transport or light rail, and other orders of public and active transit. There is a case study on Tigard.
Summary of input gained from the first rounds of committee meetings and public meetings (July-September 2012) for the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan.
On May 20, 2010, Mary Raulerson of Kittelson & Associates held a workshop in Portland, OR which introduced and illustrated best practices in the field of Complete Streets using case studies she has been directly involved with around the country. During the workshop, special attention was given to the obstacles that had to be overcome and the solutions that worked. The goal of this session was to help identify and tailor practices that will further strengthen the region’s move toward creating, connecting and complimenting great places with great multimodal rights-of-way.

Public scrutiny and agency accountability are at an all-time
high. Agencies are looking for a better understanding of the issues that are important to their customers. In an era of strained financial resources, it is necessary to order priorities that are important to the people that support the transportation system through taxes and fees. The Public Engagement Planning (PEP) program at the Texas A&M Transportation
Institute (TTI) provides research innovations and coordinated support to sponsors in the areas of public engagement planning and public opinion research.

During the National Regional Transportation Conference, Kelly Hitchcock shared Central Virginia's approach to transportation and economic development planning and implementation.
The Portland office of Kittelson & Associates, Inc. hosted an interactive workshop on January 13th, 2011 that covered the following related to Road Safety Audits (RSA): 1) A brief overview of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) “Road Safety Audit (RSA) – Guidelines and Checklist”; and 2) A walk through of a recent RSA application - Mt. Hood Highway (US 26) on the western slope between Portland, Oregon and the Mt. Hood recreational facilities (including ski areas during winter season). Hermanus Steyn, from Kittelson, and Sue D’Agnese, from ODOT, facilitated the workshop.
Kittelson's Brian Ray and special guest Dr. John M. Mason, PhD presented this topic at a workshop on 4/15/10. It focused on how industry trends in performance based design can support practical design-based project solutions. Brian and John provided a summary of current and emerging tools that can aid professionals in evaluating, screening, and selecting project alternative concepts.

Purdue University’s research, led by Dr. Darcy Bullock to field measure quality of signal timing offsets and vehicle arrivals on green versus red using local controller software.
This presentation focuses on arterial performance measures, reviewing two successful case studies:
- KAI’s validation of Bluetooth MAC readers and their measurement of signal timing changes using MAC readers along Tualatin-Sherwood Road
- Purdue University’s research, led by Dr. Darcy Bullock to field measure quality of signal timing offsets and vehicle arrivals on green versus red using local controller software
- Peter Koonce provided an overview of arterial performance within the City of Portland and a regional vision for next steps, particularly focused on multi-modal and emergency management applications of the arterial data currently collected and to be collected in the future.

It is difficult to define livability. However, there are some common elements we think each one of us can relate to livability.
Livability is…. [read each word as they appear] Can we try and relate these to our everyday functions at US DOT?
… as it relates to transportation, we most closely associate with providing access to jobs.
Livability means stable neighborhoods.
… and vibrant town centers.
A livable place is not always urban and dense. Maintaining the viability of rural villages is also important.
It really goes back to….
The primary purpose of the Guidebook is to illustrate how livability principles have been incorporated into transportation planning, programming, and project design, using examples from State, regional, and local sponsors. It is intended to be useful to a diverse audience of transportation agency staff, partners, decision makers, and the general public, and is applicable in urban, suburban, and rural areas. While several of the example projects address capacity and operational issues on major roadways, the Guidebook primarily explores how transportation planning and programs can improve community quality of life, enhance environmental performance, increase transportation and housing choice while lowering costs, and support economic vitality. Many of the case studies resolve capacity and operational issues through a multimodal network and systems approach, reflecting better integration of land use with transportation.

The Office of Real Estate has real estate experts, architects, lawyers and all are in close partnership with the Governor’s office. It has evolved to have an oversight and transaction-oriented function with specific responsibility to help get MDOT-owned properties ready for sale and private development, more specifically to get properties around MDOT’s transit infrastructure ready for development, and to strengthen MDOT’s ability to support and fund construction of TODs.. MDOT has initiated and had the State legislature adopt groundbreaking legislation that allows for flexibility in funding and implementing TOD. In particular, this legislation extends MDOT’s authority to apply transportation funds by defining economic development as a transportation need, thus qualifying TOD as a public transportation purpose and allowing TOD projects access to the State Transportation Trust Fund. Revenues from TOD projects are paid back into the trust fund.TIF legislation reform would allow bonds to be issued by the Maryland Economic Development Commission (MEDCO) on behalf of municipalities that are not able to issue bonds for TOD financing.
