Transportation Facilities Plan

Receive text or email notification concerning updates on this project

The Transportation Facilities Plan (TFP) serves as the city’s 12-year, or intermediate-range, transportation planning document. It includes high-priority projects from long-range plans (such as the Bel-Red Plan, Eastgate/I-90 Plan and Ped-Bike Plan) and projects that address emerging needs and opportunities.

Plan Update Now Underway
In November 2011, the city started the process to update the TFP. Staff are working with the Transportation Commission to:

identify candidate projects,
establish criteria for project evaluation/prioritization, and

develop a prioritized list of recommended projects.

Public Input Opportunities
The city hosted four open house events to gather public input on projects and priorities for the 2013-2024 TFP. The city also posted an online survey that offered similar opportunity for input through the end of March.

Public input was compiled into a report for consideration by staff and the Transportation Commission in developing the final list of recommended projects. (Comment may also be made directly to the Transportation Commission at their regular meetings.)

In early May, the Transportation Commission will review the staff recommended list of prioritized projects. It is anticipated that the Transportation Commission will endorse a list of prioritized projects by late May or early June 2012. Final adoption of a 2013-2024 TFP is anticipated for sometime in early 2013 (following City Council adoption in December 2012 of the 2013-2014 Operating budget and 2013-2019 CIP plan). The TFP update process is being coordinated with and is contributing to the development of the 2013-2019 Capital Investment Program (CIP) plan.

Questions or comments relating to the TFP update may be directed to Michael Ingram.

2013-2024 TFP Public Involvement Report

Background
Typically updated every two to three years, the Transportation Facilities Plan is a "financially constrained" plan: some projects do not have sufficient financial resources committed to fully complete them by 2020, but the identified cost of the projects in the TFP must be balanced with the City’s transportation revenue projections for the 12-year plan period. The Transportation Facilities Plan serves several functions:

It provides the first level of project prioritization necessary to identify projects for funding in the adopted, seven-year Capital Investment Program (CIP) Plan.

It serves as the basis for the city’s Impact Fee Program. The roadway and intersection capacity projects adopted in the TFP are used to calculate the impact fees charged to new land use developments. The fees cover a portion of the costs for transportation system capacity needed to serve the demand generated by new developments.

An environmental review is conducted in conjunction with each TFP update. The environmental review considers potential, cumulative impacts to the citywide transportation system and other elements of the environment that may occur due to 12 years of projected land use growth and the implementation of the projects identified in the TFP.
