A PLAN Interregional
Hwys; 1944 Act
FINANCE 1956 Act
11. MY VISION: 3 Trends
will define the future
1. Replacing the Baby-boomers –
where will our workforce come
from?
2. Expanding metro areas –with
focus on the suburbs – the
doughnut metro
3. An affluent time-focused society
– $50/hour and tripling of
average value of goods moved
12. In This New World the Great
Issue Will Be Skilled Workers
Finding skilled workers will be the key
concern of business.
They will go where those people are;
or, go where those people want to be!
States and Metro areas that can provide
this resource will be big winners!
Minorities, Immigrants and rural
populations will be a crucial part of the
work force
13. Work Force Issues
Older workers in labor force
Even more females in labor force
Even more variable schedules
Work hours – a lot like part time
Skills matches – more spreading
out
14. THE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT
Location, Amenities, Flexibility
The increases in services in the economy will
permit more population to act on location
preferences as workers and employers are less
tied to resources and more attracted by
amenities.
Areas of the country will compete for
workers on the basis of life-style, climate,
and ease of living. Good transportation will
be one of the competitive amenities.
Employers will be forced to be more flexible in
schedules and benefits to attract workers.

19. TRANSPORTATION’S ROLE
Transportation services should
not impede,
but maybe actually
abet/enhance, the prospect
of that wealth occurring.
GETTING US TO THE
AFFLUENT SOCIETY
21. WHAT IS CONGESTION ?
Congestion is:
People with the economic
means to act on their social
and economic interests -
getting in the way of other
people with the means to
act on theirs!
22. The great loss from congestion is not
the extra three minutes it takes to get
home each night
HOUSEHOLDS BUSINESSES
It’s the decline in It’s the decline in
the number of jobs I the number of
could reach in ½ hr! workers within ½ hr
It’s the decline in of my employment
the number of site!
affordable homes It’s the decline in
accessible to my the number of
work! suppliers &
It’s the decline in customers within ½
the assurance of hr of my business!
arriving on time! It’s the decline in
shipment reliability!
23. Three Significant Responses
Texas – GBC voted to focus on
congestion to maintain economic
competitiveness; Gov’r agreed
Georgia –Governor told state agencies
“solve congestion now”!
Washington – the State auditor
conducted an audit of the State’s
effectiveness in addressing congestion
24. Common Threads – Stimulus
“Something has to be done!”
Economic threat
Irate Citizenry
In all cases genesis came from
outside the system – the Governor,
the Legislature, or the Business
Community
Many of the agencies involved were
reluctant participants.
25. Common Threads – Institutions
No Ownership of problem!
Dozens of Players (Seattle >100)
Zero transparency – the public has no
access to information
People vs the System; Defend “The
System”
Interstate Commerce vs Metro Mobility
26. Common Threads – Finance
Planning/Programming/Finance
disconnect
Congestion evaluation weight 11% in
Atlanta; part of 4th element of goals
in Washington)
Funding locked in (zero flexibility)
Donor-Donee at the county level
“Sub-Area Equity”
27. The Policy Conflict
Neighborhood Globally Integrated
Shorter trips Longer trips
Walk/bike Broad “community”
Land use solutions Choices
Design/Plan Market forces
What’s freight? Major role for freight
Accessibility Mobility
Public Private
Mass Personalized
Change behavior Technological fix
Make it happen Let it happen
28. My Take away – 1
Set targets and monitor:
A TTI of 120 in Texas
A TTI of 135 in Atlanta
A 15-20% reduction of congestion within 5 years in
Washington
Use Direct Criteria
Hours of delay reduced/$
Focus on public’s benefits
Performance-based program
WHAT SHARE OF THE PROBLEM AM I SOLVING
WITH WHAT SHARE OF MY RESOURCES?
29. My Take away – 2
Process is dysfunctional and
disinterested in the problem
No accountability
Planning process is as much the problem
as the solution
Focus and goals are elsewhere and it will
probably get worse
Lack of funds is just a part of it
30. Infrastructure Issues
A relatively more operable future;
but:
Immense Backlog
Retrofitting the System
Interstate Reconstruction
Federal Gov - an Unreliable Partner
No interest in mobility
On-going revenue conflicts
31. THE TWO VIEWS IN TOWN
THE “TABULA THE “CREEPING
RASA” SCHOOL INCREMENTALISTS”
OF PUBLIC
POLICY
“Isn’t it great “Where is this all
that we can start leading?”
over?”
32. THE CONFLICT
“TR” School – “CI” School – sees
sees an oppt’y a lot more proof
to get things needed!
“right”! A complement not
HOT Lanes replacement –
Leased Facilities what %?
Tolls = Variable Protect present
Pricing tax base
System-wide Cash cow-ification
tolling of tolling
33. A national conflict;
Important issues remain
What role for tolling?
Who plans? How?
Who sets prices? With what intent?
Who gets the money? For what?
Dedication vs general revenue
How determine new capacity needs?
What Fed program scale 40-60%
Solvency of Trust Fund
34. The cash-cow-ification of tolls…
“… transport ministers expressed diverging
views on the use of revenues generated from
road tolls. The United Kingdom, Belgium,
Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland and
France would prefer to use the proceeds from
road tolls as government fiscal revenue to be
allocated to any sector. However, the
Commission together with some Member
States refuses this approach, arguing that the
charging of road use is not being put in place
to generate additional state revenues but to
reduce congestion and negative environmental
impacts.”
Council meeting on 9 March 2004
35. KEY: What happens to toll
revenues?
BEST Explicit dedication to facility
OK General dedication to “system”
POOR General dedication to
“transportation”
BAD For general revenue purposes
LOSS OF DEDICATION TO THE FACILITY
DESTROYS ONE OF THE POWERFUL
BENEFITS OF TOLLS/BONDING;
A “CLOSED SYSTEM” BETWEEN
OPERATOR/BONDHOLDERS AND USERS
36. What can we assume we know
about those priced off?
Who are they? Where do they go?
What alternatives exist for them?
What new costs do we impose on
users?
What forces do we put into play?
Rewarding bad public policy –the
poorer the alternatives the higher
the price has to be to get people
off !
37. The grass is always greener on the
other horn of the dilemma
38. WHY CAN’T THERE BE AN END
TO ALL THIS KILLIN’?
WHY CAN’T THERE BE PEACE IN
THE VALLEY?
Walter Brennan
in a scene from all of
his pictures!
39. There could be peace in the valley
if we agreed:
#1. The gas tax and tolling concepts are
complementary.
#2. The basic gas tax approach can significantly
benefit from greater emphasis on tolling where the
opportunities exist, often on major high level long
distance facilities or where congestion is most serious.
#3. Toll roads cannot do it alone. They are a very
useful supplement in the road system but cannot
approach meeting the basic needs of the system.
#4. Protecting toll roads revenue from diversion is
as important as protecting the gas tax.
#5. Mechanisms need to be put in place that support
the continued effectiveness and strengths of these
two fundamental revenue sources.
40. My financial agenda
Vision; Plan; Finance
Defend the highway trust fund’s role
Defend the program from further diffusion of goals and
funding
Defend the program from other budget “wants”
Assure a supportive, rational tolling policy
Assure tolls are dedicated to facility
Assure tolls are revenue tools; not social engineering and
not a general purpose bail-out tool that mortgages the
future
Restore confidence in State and Federal Programs
Focus the Federal Program
When you are building transportation museums the public
has the right to believe that the bridges wont fall down.
41. WITH ALL THIS
WHAT WILL DRIVE REAUTHORIZATION?
A year ago – it would have been all
about international trade = FREIGHT
NOW – its all about GHG and CO2
NEXT – its all about RECESSION ???
AFTER NEXT – ELECTION/ADMIN ???
IN A YEAR -- REAL ISSUE WILL BE
WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM
TO WRITE A BILL
42. The right next steps
Credibility, Vision, Plan, Finance
Win public respect and support
Demonstrate a real dedication to
solving congestion
Adopt measurable performance
results
Accept public consumer
sovereignty
