2040Plan.org Presentación de Hoy Desarrollando el Próximo RTP Primeros Pasos de Desarrollo Presentación muestra del sitio: 2040Plan.org ¡Alíate a nosotros para correr la voz! The RTP is the region’s long-range “blueprint” for the transportation system. We are reviewing the current RTP and beginning to develop the next one. We want your input. New web-based outreach approach. Public meetings in the evenings not very effective. Go online to 2040Plan.org. The materials you’ll see today are only a taste of what you’ll find on the website. You are interested in transportation. Visit the website, give us feedback, and then tell others about this. Help us spread the word.

La región crecerá 3.3 Millones En Millones How is our region changing? Currently we have about 6M. In 2040 we will have over 9M. The population will have more older people. Young people will shrink from 30% to 25% of population while 60+ grows from 14% to 22% Will live and move around the region differently? How does our transportation system need to change to meet those needs? Fuente: HGAC Modelo Demográfico

Cambios Económicos A nivel estatal Tasa de Crecimiento Flotilla de Vehículos Ligeros PIB Real del Estado Numero de Hogares Millas Viajadas Vehiculares Impuestos de Gasolina Let’s look at some different economic indicators. The base year is 2009 where all are equal to 100. By 2040: State economy doubles and there are twice as many cars in Texas Households grow by nearly 80% Yet Vehicle Miles Traveled grows only by 55%: state is becoming more urbanized and trips are getting shorter. But the Motor fuel taxes, the main source of money for building and maintaining our transportation system, is only growing by about 30%. If we don’t have the stomach for higher gas taxes, how do we make do with less, given the expected growth? Fuente: HGAC Modelo Financiero

¿Cómo esta el Sistema Hoy? Carreteras 10,363 Millas Carril de Carretera 19,900 Millas Carril de Calles Transporte Público 4,397 Millas de Ruta Fija 204 Millas Carril HOV Senderos para Bicicletas 500 Millas reservadas en calles 434 Millas fuera de calles We have over 10,000 miles of highways and nearly 20,000 miles of major arterial streets. Building that system has cost a lot, but maintaining it and replacing it every 30-40 years costs even more. For transit, we have nearly 4,400 miles of scheduled, fixed bus route service, and over 200 miles HOV lanes that car and vanpools can use as well. For cyclists, the region has roughly 500 designated on-street miles and over 400 trails and bikeways.

Declaración de Visión En el año 2040, la región tendrá un sistema multimodal de transporte seguro, a través de inversiones coordinadas que permitan una calidad de vida deseable, más vitalidad económica y un alto nivel de seguridad, accesibilidad y movilidad. You can jot down any thoughts on the comment card. But visit the website and give your comments there.

Meta: Movilidad Asegurar que el movimiento de personas y bienes sea seguro y confiable. Maximizar la movilidad y acceso a trabajos, bienes, servicios y mercados globales Proveer opciones de transporte significativas y equitativas There are 9 goals grouped into 4 categories: Mobility, Stewardship, Prosperity and Implementation. As you read each goal, consider if it hits the mark, if something is left out, and what might be a good measure to test our progress on that goal

Meta: Administración Mantener el sistema de transporte en buen estado de reparación Administrar los activos del sistema de transporte eficiente y efectivamente The Stewardship goals address how well we maintain the system

Meta: Prosperidad Apoyar al desarrollo económico y competitividad de la región Mejorar la salud comunitaria y la calidad de vida mejorando la calidad del aire y las condiciones del medio ambiente, así como conservando los recursos naturales The transportation system is not just to move us, but to lead better lives. The Prosperity goals address the desired effects we want.

Meta: Implementación Completar las obras de inversión rápida y eficientemente, incorporando los costos del ciclo de vida Promover la coordinación regional, la cooperación y la toma de decisiones Implementation is about how we go about making decisions on the transportation system
