00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680
or have we received any written

27
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,680
comments? We have nothing this

28
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,670
week, this month. Okay. So no

29
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:27,680
public comments. I'm going

30
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,680
to call out

31
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,680
in the chamber here,

32
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,668
the meeting room. Is there any

33
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,680
public comment? Okay. Seeing

34
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680
that we have no public

35
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,680
comments. So the next thing I'd

36
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,680
like to just a few remarks, I

37
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,680
was, you know,

38
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,680
we've had a little trouble

39
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,680
with ferries these days,

40
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680
and I'm happy to tell you that

41
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,680
I rode the ferry from

42
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Bainbridge Island this morning.

43
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,680
It was on time. It was

44
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,680
beautifully clean. It was a

45
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,680
bright, sun, shiny day. The

46
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,680
galley was open. The copy was

47
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,680
great. So When everybody starts

48
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,680
complaining about ferries,

49
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,680
please remember, please,

50
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,680
they're doing really fabulous

51
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
work, and they've been, you

52
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,680
know, struggling lately. But

53
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680
When they run, I can't think

54
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,680
of a nicer thing to do

55
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,680
on a beautiful morning, is

56
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,680
to come

57
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
across the sound and look

58
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,680
at the mountains and, it was a

59
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,680
it was a great commute. So the

60
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,680
ferries are running,

61
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
maybe not as regular as 1,

62
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,680
but when they do run,

63
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,680
they're wonderful. So please

64
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,680
keep that in mind. I'd also

65
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,680
like to say, in March, I will

66
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680
announce the 2024 nominating

67
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Committee which is tasked

68
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,680
for proposing the candidates

69
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,680
for the positions of PSRC

70
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,680
president and vice president,

71
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,680
which we will do

72
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,680
at the general assembly.

73
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Well, those will be announced

74
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,668
and to end confirmed. I'm also

75
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,680
working with president, vice

76
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,680
president, summers

77
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,680
to finalize the 2024

78
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,680
performance goals for PSRC

79
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Executive Director, Josh

80
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,680
Brown, in March board members

81
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,680
will receive an email from me

82
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,680
for waiting the goals. Those

83
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,680
goals that I will forward

84
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,680
to you will be used

85
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,680
to evaluate performance during

86
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,680
his next annual performance

87
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,680
review in December of 2024. I

88
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,680
think Josh is doing a terrific

89
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,680
job, but this is obviously

90
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680
something that we need to do

91
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,680
to establish, you know, which

92
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,680
direction we want this agency

93
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680
to go in and, Josh is our key

94
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,668
person. And so as a board,

95
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,680
we need to make sure that those

96
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,680
expectations are really clear.

97
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Additionally, we have several

98
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,680
new board members. Let's

99
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,680
welcome Council member,

100
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Jennifer Chamberland, an

101
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,680
alternate for the city of

102
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,468
Bremerton. Is Jennifer here

103
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,680
today? No? Okay. Council

104
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,680
member, Scott Bader, alternate

105
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,680
for the city of Everett.

106
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,680
Scott's here. Welcome, Scott.

107
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Welcoming back Commissioner

108
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Carrie Bozeman. As an alternate

109
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,680
for the Port of Bremerton. I

110
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680
don't know if Carrie's here,

111
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,680
you know, and mayor, Victoria

112
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,680
Woodard's as an alternate

113
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,680
for the city of Tacoma. So

114
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,680
those are our new members. And

115
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
with that, I'm just going

116
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,680
to turn it over to Josh Brown

117
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,680
for your report.

118
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,680
>>Alright. Excellent. Thank

119
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,680
you, Mayor Erickson. Thank you

120
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,680
for everybody

121
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,680
for joining us and

122
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,680
participating

123
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,680
in the meetings today. So this

124
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,680
board meeting

125
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,680
of the executive board is going

126
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,680
to be a little different than

127
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,680
last month. We took on a lot

128
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,680
of funding actions

129
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,680
at the last board meeting in

130
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,680
January. This month,

131
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,680
we're going to be bringing to

132
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,680
you several important

133
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,680
discussion items related to

134
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:33,680
major planning efforts that we

135
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,680
have as an agency. Our next

136
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:36,680
update to our regional

137
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:37,680
transportation plan,

138
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:38,680
which we have to adopt every 4

139
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,468
years under federal law.

140
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:43,680
Bringing to you our scope

141
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:45,680
of work for updating our

142
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:46,680
center's framework and

143
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:48,680
important conversation

144
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:49,680
around how we're guiding growth

145
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:50,680
in the region. And then we're

146
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:51,680
going to be reporting

147
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,680
on important data that,

148
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:54,680
you've asked us

149
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:55,680
to bring back as part

150
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,680
of a dashboard for the regional

151
00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:58,680
transportation plan. As part

152
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,680
of the last, update to the to

153
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:01,680
the regional transportation

154
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,680
plan. So a lot

155
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:04,680
of important things. A couple

156
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,680
of things I wanted to note

157
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:08,680
in your packet first. We do

158
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:09,680
have a date, a hold for our

159
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:10,680
next general assembly meeting.

160
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,668
That'll be May 30th. And, the

161
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,468
tentative hold is from 9:30

162
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,680
to 1. We are hoping to be

163
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,468
at the new expansion,

164
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,680
the new annex

165
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,680
for the convention center

166
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,680
in downtown Seattle. So staffs

167
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,468
working to finalize those

168
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:33,680
details will be a great

169
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:34,680
opportunity

170
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,680
to highlight a regional asset,

171
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:37,680
a asset for the state of

172
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:38,680
Washington. I know many

173
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:39,680
of you worked very hard. I know

174
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:40,680
King County did a lot of work

175
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:41,680
to ensure that that project

176
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:42,680
moved forward

177
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:43,680
during the pandemic. So great

178
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:44,680
opportunity to bring the reach

179
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:45,680
in together. The other thing I

180
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,680
just wanted to note, and,

181
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,680
we have our fund, our fairy

182
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:50,680
support letter that has been

183
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:51,680
attached

184
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,680
in your packet. I want

185
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:54,680
to thank many members of the

186
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:56,680
executive board. I'm looking

187
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,680
around the room, looking

188
00:09:58,680 --> 00:09:59,680
at folk style then. Many

189
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,680
of your jurisdictions, we have

190
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,680
about 25, I believe,

191
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:04,680
elected officials who signed

192
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,680
on to that fund our ferries,

193
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:07,680
support letter. So thank you so

194
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,680
much for your help and your

195
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:11,680
advocacy. Our next convening is

196
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:12,680
tomorrow, for, for, the focus

197
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,680
on ferries, and it's going

198
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,680
to be from 10:45 to, 11:45. So

199
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:21,680
thanks for our elected

200
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,468
officials that'll be joining

201
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:26,680
us, the chair of the House

202
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:27,680
Transportation Committee

203
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,680
chairman Jake Fye has agreed

204
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:29,680
to join us. So he's taking 20

205
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:30,680
minutes out

206
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,680
of his busy schedule

207
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:32,680
to join us tomorrow. As many

208
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:33,680
of you know, that that both the

209
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:34,680
house and the senate

210
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,680
transportation budgets were

211
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,680
just released. So, you know, if

212
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:39,680
we got some things that we

213
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:40,680
wanted those budgets,

214
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:41,680
there's other things related to

215
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:43,680
ferries that aren't included.

216
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:44,680
So it'd be a good opportunity

217
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:45,680
for dialogue and

218
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:46,680
to provide feedback

219
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,680
for chairman Fye. The other

220
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:49,680
thing I wanted

221
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:50,680
to highlight next Friday is

222
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,680
PSRC is going to be hosting our

223
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:54,468
new elected official workshop.

224
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,680
So I know many of you

225
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,680
participated when you were new

226
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,680
elected officials,

227
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,680
it's a great opportunity

228
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:01,680
for PSRC

229
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,680
to share regional data, to,

230
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:05,680
you know,

231
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:06,680
for new elected officials

232
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,680
to learn about collaboration

233
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:08,680
and regionalism,

234
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,680
we'll be hosting it

235
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,680
in person here at our offices

236
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,680
at 1201 Third Avenue. I'd

237
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:14,680
encourage you if you have a

238
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:16,680
colleague that hasn't yet

239
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:17,680
registered. It's not quite too

240
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:18,680
late,

241
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:19,680
although it's getting close.

242
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:20,680
We're going to send

243
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,680
out our final push

244
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,680
for RSVP soon. And, look

245
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:25,680
forward to having folks,

246
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:26,680
attend that that workshop.

247
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:28,680
It's always a lot of fun. A

248
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,680
couple other just updates I

249
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:32,680
wanted to provide on February

250
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,680
7th PSRC hosted a tribal

251
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,680
coordination meeting. So one of

252
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:37,680
the things that we've been

253
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,680
exploring at the staff level is

254
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:41,680
different ways that we can

255
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:42,680
engage with our region's

256
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,680
tribes. I'm proud

257
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,680
to report that we had 6 of our

258
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,680
region's tribes participate

259
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:49,680
at the meeting There were

260
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,680
multiple staff people for

261
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:52,680
from most

262
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:53,680
of our tribal governments who,

263
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,680
were there participating

264
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:57,680
in person or pardon me,

265
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,680
virtually. And we received

266
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,680
really, really great feedback

267
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:02,680
on our work. You know,

268
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:03,680
the goal

269
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:04,680
of this meeting wasn't to have

270
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:05,680
a meeting where we're talking

271
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:06,680
to our tribes, but instead to

272
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,680
really listen and get feedback,

273
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:09,680
we received a lot

274
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:10,680
of really great direction. And

275
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,680
I think moving forward,

276
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:13,680
what we're going to do is,

277
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:14,680
turn this into maybe a

278
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,680
semiannual meeting where couple

279
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:18,680
times a year, we're engaging

280
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:20,680
with our tribes. They're

281
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:21,680
developing the agenda, and

282
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,680
we're giving them an

283
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:24,680
opportunity

284
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:25,680
to provide feedback. So we

285
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:26,680
couldn't have been more pleased

286
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:27,680
with the way that that meeting

287
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:29,680
came together. Our directors,

288
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,680
joined me in that meeting,

289
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,680
and I wanted

290
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:33,680
to give a big shout out to

291
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:34,680
Erica Harris and our staff who

292
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:36,680
did a lot of the late work.

293
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:37,680
Putting together the agenda and

294
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,680
handling the logistics. So

295
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:40,680
really, an important meeting.

296
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:41,680
Just a couple other brief

297
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,680
updates. So,

298
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:44,680
in the past month,

299
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:45,680
I've been busy out in the

300
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,680
region. I joined the housing

301
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,680
development consortium

302
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:49,680
for meeting that they held

303
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:50,680
on housing in Redmond, near

304
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,680
Ernie, counsel of Herbal

305
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:53,680
Ducci, among others,

306
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:55,680
were there in attendance. So it

307
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:56,680
was great to catch up with all

308
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:57,680
of you. I was asked

309
00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:59,680
to give a presentation to

310
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,680
King County Realtors, the

311
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:01,680
master builders and Bellevue

312
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,680
Chambers Transportation

313
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:04,680
Committee. And, something I

314
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,680
wanted to flag for everybody

315
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:07,680
in March We're really going

316
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:09,680
to lean into the topic

317
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:10,680
of climate at our March

318
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,680
executive board meeting. We'll

319
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,680
be providing staff reports and

320
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:15,680
updates

321
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:16,680
on the work that we're doing

322
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,680
at PSRC, but we also have a

323
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:19,680
special guest. Our March

324
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,680
meeting will be will be

325
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,680
finished

326
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,680
with a legislative session.

327
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:26,680
And we're going to have a house

328
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,680
majority leader, Joe

329
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:30,680
Fitzgibbon join us, in person

330
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:31,680
to be able

331
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,680
to provide an update

332
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:34,680
on the legislative session

333
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,680
with a special focus on the

334
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:38,680
Climate Commitment Act. I know

335
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,680
many of you have been tracking

336
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,680
not only a lot of the important

337
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:43,680
investments that the Climate

338
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:44,680
Commitment Act has been

339
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,680
providing, but also the fact

340
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,680
that we're going to have,

341
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,680
some initiatives

342
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:52,680
on the ballot, this year as

343
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,680
well that that could impact,

344
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:56,680
the Climate Commitment Act. So

345
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,468
we just appreciate majority

346
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,468
leader Fitzgibbon's joining us

347
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:04,680
and, taking time out

348
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:05,680
of his busy schedule

349
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:08,680
to update the executive board.

350
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,680
So more to come on that. And

351
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:12,680
that's a perfect segue to

352
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:13,680
Robin Koske, PSRC's director of

353
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:14,680
government relations and

354
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:15,680
communications

355
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,680
to provide an update

356
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:17,680
on the legislative session.

357
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:18,680
So, Robin, let me hand things

358
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,680
over to you.

359
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,668
>>Thanks, Josh. There we go. I

360
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,680
hope everybody can see my

361
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,680
screen. Nice to be here today

362
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,680
with some legislative updates.

363
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,680
I guess the, first thing I'll

364
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,680
say too is that I just got back

365
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680
from a visit to Washington DC

366
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,680
for the National Association

367
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,680
of Regional Council's

368
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Meeting. Where I also checked

369
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,680
in with, just

370
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,680
about every member

371
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,468
of our delegation, both

372
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,680
Senator Marie and Cantwell, and

373
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,680
then the whole House of

374
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,680
Representatives delegation.

375
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,680
And, I would say that I got,

376
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,680
you know,

377
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,680
a very positive response to

378
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680
PSRC's work. I think that they

379
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,680
were very interested in the

380
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,680
things we're doing where we're

381
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,680
collaborating regionally

382
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:03,680
on federal grants

383
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,680
to make sure grants are getting

384
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,680
out communities

385
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,680
across our region, you know,

386
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:08,680
safe streets and roads

387
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,680
for all and other things. And

388
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,680
we also were looking

389
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,680
for toward, surface

390
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,680
transportation,

391
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,680
reauthorization, and how a

392
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,680
metropolitan planning

393
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,680
organizations might show up

394
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:19,680
in that. So that's a couple

395
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,680
years. I hope are already

396
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,680
starting to think about it. So

397
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,680
we want to be proactive and

398
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,680
make sure we're part of the

399
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:27,680
conversation as that happens.

400
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,680
So very good visit to DC and,

401
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,680
nice to be there

402
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,680
with our delegation. As far as

403
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,680
the state legislative session

404
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680
goes, this is the 7th week

405
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,680
We're now in day 46. So

406
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,680
after today, just 2 weeks 2

407
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
weeks left in the session went

408
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680
by pretty fast. This week was

409
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,680
quite a week. All

410
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,680
of the budgets came out

411
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,680
between Friday Tuesday, one

412
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,680
on Sunday, 3 on Monday. So, I

413
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,680
will preface that, you know,

414
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,680
we're still kind of combing

415
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
through things and figuring out

416
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,680
exactly what everything means,

417
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,680
but, you know,

418
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,680
I do have some updates for you

419
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,468
around that. The, opposite

420
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680
house policy cutoff was, the

421
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,680
week, just yesterday. So more

422
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,680
and more bills are are going

423
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,680
away and that the priority and

424
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,680
then we have fiscal cutoff

425
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,680
on the 26th, and then the

426
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,680
opposite house bill cutoff on

427
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,680
March 1st. And then finally,

428
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,680
signing dye on the 7th. So

429
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,680
rapidly, careening

430
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,680
toward the end here. I wanted

431
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,680
to share something a little bit

432
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,680
light as I always do. I think

433
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,680
last year, I shared with you

434
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,680
all the state dinosaur bill.

435
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,680
This year, there was a bill

436
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680
before the legislature that was

437
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,680
actually quite controversial.

438
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,680
The bill was to designate the

439
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,668
Pacific raise razor clam as the

440
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680
state clam. And, there was some

441
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,680
competition from the So that

442
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,680
bill did actually not move

443
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,680
forward, but there was a group

444
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,680
I I share. I have a drawing

445
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,680
here. There was a a group

446
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,680
of medals from for monitoring

447
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,680
the bill and had some art

448
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,680
contests, to support, the razor

449
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,680
clam as the state clam. So they

450
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,680
said that they're going

451
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,680
to continue working

452
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,680
on the issue because they

453
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,680
Passionate laser clams should

454
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,680
be the clam of Washington. So

455
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,680
one of those, a nice sort

456
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,680
of lighthearted things

457
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,680
to watch out for, next session

458
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,680
I didn't actually do a slide

459
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,680
on the operating budgets,

460
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,680
but I would say, you know,

461
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,680
of course, that just

462
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,680
to remind everyone,

463
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,680
this is the 2nd year

464
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,680
of the biennium. So these are

465
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,680
supplemental budgets. They're

466
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,680
meant to be sort of, you know,

467
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,680
trimming around the edges

468
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,680
of the policy,

469
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,680
statements that were made

470
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,680
with the budget last year.

471
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,680
Although I think, you know,

472
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:47,680
more and more,

473
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,680
we see pretty major investments

474
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,680
in the budgets. I think one

475
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,680
of the things that we saw in

476
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,680
the operating budget was just a

477
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,680
significant investment

478
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,680
through all three

479
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,680
of the budgets, the

480
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,680
transportation, capital, and

481
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,680
operating, but both the Senate

482
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,680
and the house invest quite a

483
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,680
bit of climate commitment act

484
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,680
dollars, in

485
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,680
in various programs. The

486
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,468
housing trust fund, just

487
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,680
another, item of note, oh,

488
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,680
I guess I'm still talking

489
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,680
about the operating budget. So

490
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,680
one other thing to point out

491
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,680
about that is that the document

492
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,680
recording fees, which are,

493
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,680
fund many

494
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,680
of our homelessness programs,

495
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,680
those fees have, of course,

496
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,680
been down with the rise in

497
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,680
interest rates and less real

498
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,680
estate transactions happening.

499
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,680
So there is a a quite a bit

500
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,680
of a shortfall, and there has

501
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,680
been a very big advocacy effort

502
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,680
going on to try and see if

503
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,680
those funds can't be restored

504
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,680
through other means

505
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,680
in the state budget. And, the

506
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,680
Senate puts in $20,000,000 and

507
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,680
the house puts in $70,000,000.

508
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,680
And my understanding from the

509
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,680
Department of Commerce is that

510
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,680
the actual deficit is

511
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,680
$70,000,000. So $20,000,000

512
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,680
wouldn't quite cut it. So it'll

513
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,680
be interesting

514
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,680
to see how that falls out.

515
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,680
There was also,

516
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,680
the governor you may remember

517
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,680
had, almost $12,000,000

518
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,680
in his budget for local housing

519
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,680
programs that could be accessed

520
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,680
directly you know, housing

521
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,680
people who are experiencing

522
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,680
homelessness and other things,

523
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680
that was included in the

524
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,680
Senate budget. And then the

525
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,680
house included as well

526
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,680
in a package of of 46 point

527
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,680
$4,000,000, sort

528
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,680
of a bucket of, housing

529
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,680
for vulnerable populations,

530
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,680
and they funded that at 7.4.

531
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,680
Full of highlights. And then as

532
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,680
I said, there were investments

533
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,680
in the operating budget

534
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,680
in the Climate Commitment Act

535
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,680
and then significant

536
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,680
investments

537
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,680
in the capital budget of

538
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,680
$650,000,000 $670,000,000,

539
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,680
respectively. Housing trust

540
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,468
fund, both made pretty

541
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,680
significant investments and you

542
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,680
see the house comes

543
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,680
in a little bit higher than the

544
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,680
Senate, neither

545
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,680
of the budgets interested

546
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,680
in what the governor had wanted

547
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,680
to do around,

548
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,680
rapid acquisition of mostly

549
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,680
hotels and motels so they

550
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,680
invested directly in in funds

551
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,680
to

552
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,680
of fund affordable housing. So

553
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,680
I think that decisively,

554
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,680
decision that's been made that

555
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,680
we won't see that rapid

556
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,680
acquisition, And then both

557
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,680
capital budgets,

558
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,680
significantly invest

559
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,680
in behavioral health, as well

560
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,680
as the operating budget and the

561
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,680
operating budget also does

562
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,680
some, work on opioids. Let's

563
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680
see. Moving on

564
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,680
to the transportation budget,

565
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,680
I just wanted

566
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,680
to talk a little bit about,

567
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,680
you know,

568
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,680
the background considerations

569
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,680
for the transportation budget

570
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,680
because we're seeing a lot

571
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,680
of cost increases. And so I

572
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,680
just wanted

573
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,680
to also just talk a little bit

574
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,680
about what some of the reason

575
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,680
behind that. You know,

576
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,680
the pandemic was, of course,

577
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,680
very disruptive. Revenues have

578
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,680
decreased I think one

579
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,680
of that's one issue certainly

580
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,680
with the ferry system, revenues

581
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,680
that we saw the a very

582
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,680
significant reduction

583
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,680
in that. And then, of course,

584
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,680
costs have gone up due

585
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,680
to supply chain issues. And

586
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,680
then we've also seen workforce

587
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,680
shortages Another thing that's

588
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,680
kind of looming in the

589
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,680
background is that there are 6

590
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,680
ballot initiatives that have

591
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,680
been certified, and, 2 of those

592
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,680
would very significantly impact

593
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,680
the budget One, of course,

594
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,680
for the repeal of the Climate

595
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,680
Commitment Act and,

596
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,680
then the other for the repeal

597
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,680
of the capital gains tax. The

598
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,680
climate Commitment Act is a

599
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,680
very significant issue for our

600
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,680
transportation budgets because

601
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,680
the move ahead Washington

602
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,680
package that passed 2 years ago

603
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,680
relied heavily on Climate

604
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,680
Commitment Act Investments

605
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,680
of the 17,000,000,000 that was,

606
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,680
in the total of that budget,

607
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,680
about 5,400,000,000 was climate

608
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,680
Commitment Act revenues. So

609
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,680
almost a third of the budget

610
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,680
would be impacted if those

611
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,668
funds were to go away. And

612
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,680
then, of course, additionally,

613
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,680
there are the court decision on

614
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,680
fish passage and culprit

615
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,680
replacement 4,000,000,000

616
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,680
of that. We have a sort of a

617
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,680
$4,000,000,000 issue that needs

618
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,680
to be solved. But if you take

619
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:06,680
away the CCA funds,

620
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,680
that goes all the way up to

621
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,680
9,000,000. So just wanted

622
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,680
to kind

623
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,680
of highlight the background

624
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,680
before I talked about the

625
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,680
transportation budget. And I

626
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,680
know secretary Malar is

627
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,680
on the phone is

628
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,680
on the line today. So, he may

629
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,680
have some additional things

630
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,680
to add when I am finished,

631
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,680
because as I said,

632
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,680
we're still kind of calling

633
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,680
through exactly what all

634
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,680
of these, budget things mean.

635
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,668
Both of the budgets made some

636
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,680
investments in safety. They

637
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,680
kind of total it a little bit

638
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,680
differently. So it's kind

639
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,680
of hard to tell exactly

640
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,680
to compare, the senate

641
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,680
to house. The senate very

642
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,680
clearly called

643
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,680
out the what they labeled as

644
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,680
$31,000,000 in investments.

645
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,680
Both the budgets put

646
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,680
$8,500,000 into the Washington

647
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,680
traffic safety commission

648
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,680
for public, education

649
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,680
enforcement and other grants.

650
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,680
And all both budgets also put

651
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,680
$1,000,000 into wrong way

652
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,680
driving prevention. The Senate

653
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,680
collects some Washington state

654
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,680
patrol, investments

655
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,680
into their safety bundle, but

656
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,680
the house budget also does some

657
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,680
investment there. So I think

658
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,680
in the end, they come

659
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,680
out pretty close,

660
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,680
on the safety issue. Yeah,

661
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,680
preservation,

662
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:15,680
both budgets and invest

663
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,680
in preservation, the house

664
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,680
budget, adds $40,000,000, and

665
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,680
the Senate budget says that

666
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,680
they add a 150, but I think

667
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,680
50,000,000 of that is active

668
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,680
transportation and the house

669
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,680
budget also has some active

670
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,680
transportation dollars. So I I

671
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,680
think maybe that they come

672
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,680
out a little, closer than,

673
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,680
comparing 150 to 40

674
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,680
in the end. I think one of the

675
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,680
most significant differences

676
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,680
between the transportation

677
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,680
budgets is how they handle

678
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,680
Portage Bay. The house budget

679
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,680
directs the Department of

680
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,468
Transportation to cancel the

681
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,680
Portage Bay bid, for both

682
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,680
for that whole project And

683
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,680
then, only, send the north end

684
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,680
of the bridge out for, forbid

685
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,680
The Senate budget on the other

686
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,468
hand adds some funds

687
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,680
for additional costs,

688
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,680
and we proceed

689
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,680
with the project I think based

690
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,680
on the theory,

691
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,680
from what I heard Senator,

692
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,680
Liisa,

693
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,680
in his press conference,

694
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,680
around the budget,

695
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,680
that they think that we're you

696
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,680
know, costs are never going

697
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,680
to go down. They're only going

698
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,680
to go up. So we'd be better

699
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,680
off to just proceed ahead and

700
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,680
kind of, you know,

701
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,680
swallow our lumps. So we shall

702
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,680
see how the 2, just decide that

703
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,668
when we get out to conference

704
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,680
As far as ferries go, both made

705
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,680
very significant investments

706
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,680
in ferries, and I think that,

707
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,680
you know,

708
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,680
certainly the advocacy of all

709
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,680
of you who signed on

710
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,680
to her letter made a difference

711
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,680
in making sure that there was a

712
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,680
focus on that. The house does

713
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,680
have a, $50,000 per mile

714
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,680
program for the Department of

715
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,680
Licensing to explore how that

716
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,680
would work out. Not a huge

717
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,680
amount of money, but,

718
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,680
something in the budget. I

719
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,680
think everyone will remember

720
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:02,680
that there were some funding

721
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,680
for a study

722
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,680
of a road usage charge. Last

723
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,680
year in the budget that the

724
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680
governor ended up line item

725
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,680
vetoing. So, I understand

726
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,680
from what chairman Fai said in

727
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,680
his press conference that

728
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,680
there's some agreement that

729
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,680
this is appropriate, with the

730
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,468
governor's office this year.

731
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,680
So that's a good thing

732
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,680
from our perspective here

733
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,680
at PSRC since we have the road

734
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,680
uses charge in our regional

735
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,680
transportation plan. I'm going

736
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,680
to move on to ferries. So, kind

737
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,680
of a lot of work. Haven't

738
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,468
actually compared exactly the

739
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,680
governor's budget on the

740
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,680
workforce development issues,

741
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,680
but both the house and the

742
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,680
senate make investments there

743
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,680
to make sure that the ferry

744
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,680
workforce, has what they need

745
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,680
to get back up

746
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,680
to full service. Both invest in

747
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,680
the passenger only routes

748
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,680
continues this extended service

749
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,680
on the Bremerton, of about

750
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,680
$3,000,000 in both budgets

751
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,680
for some additional service

752
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,680
on the Bastion Seattle route.

753
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,680
So, interesting because that

754
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,680
was not

755
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,680
in the governor's budget, and

756
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,680
they both considered important.

757
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,680
In terms of preservation, the

758
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,680
Senate invests some additional

759
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,680
money to make sure that ferries

760
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,680
are able to be fixed when they

761
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,680
have problems or

762
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,680
before they have problems. So

763
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,680
hopefully, the house does not

764
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,680
put any new preservation money

765
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,680
in,

766
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,680
but they direct the ferries

767
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,680
to create a plan and ask

768
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,680
for what funding is needed

769
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,680
for appropriate preservation

770
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,680
in 2025. The I say the capital

771
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,680
part is the is the part that

772
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,268
you know, kind of hard to dig

773
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,680
into in the budgets, but they

774
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,680
both clearly provide funding

775
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,468
for 5 new vessels and 3

776
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,680
conversions

777
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,680
over the next several years,

778
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,680
but the Senate is very over in

779
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,680
saying that they are investing

780
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,680
307,000,000 additional dollars

781
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,680
and 237 of that from a CCA

782
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,680
to create those vessels,

783
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,680
indicating that then what could

784
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,680
happen is that when those bids

785
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,680
go out this April that

786
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,680
potentially,

787
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,680
if there was a bid that could

788
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,680
do 2 vessels at 1, we might be

789
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,680
able to build 3 vessels. So

790
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,680
they kind

791
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,680
of front load those funds to

792
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,680
try and get those ferries

793
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,680
online as fast as possible. As

794
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,680
far as, studies go. There's,

795
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,680
300,000,000

796
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,680
in the house budget

797
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,680
for a work group plus

798
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,680
200,000,000

799
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,680
for an economic impact study,

800
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,680
and then there's a

801
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,680
$140,000,000

802
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,680
for an economic impact study

803
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,680
in the senate, which is, around

804
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,468
this bill that representative

805
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,680
Nance proposed on the

806
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,680
Washington State Prairie 75

807
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,680
work group That bill has died,

808
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,680
but the you can see that the

809
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,680
both the work group and the

810
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,680
study showed up

811
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,680
in the budgets,

812
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,680
only the study only in the

813
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,680
Senate budget. So we shall see

814
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,680
how that works out

815
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,680
with budget providers.

816
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,680
Secretary Malar, yes,

817
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,680
you can go ahead if you'd like

818
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,680
to comment.

819
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,680
>>Yeah. I was just on those

820
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,680
studies. I don't think they're

821
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,680
a 140,000,002 100,000,000.

822
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,680
>>I think they're Okay. 1000.

823
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,680
Oh, a 200,000. Yes. Right.

824
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,680
200,000,000. Excuse me. As I

825
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,468
said, I, you know,

826
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,680
I was I've been sort

827
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,680
of burning the midnight oil

828
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,680
to get all

829
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,680
of these budget information up.

830
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,680
So thank you. Right? Of course,

831
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,680
that doesn't make any sense

832
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,680
at all.

833
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,680
>>No. And, you know,

834
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,680
we're ready to rip the covers

835
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,680
off of the studies we've

836
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,680
already done and send them back

837
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,680
in. And if I can get a

838
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,680
140,000,000 for that,

839
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,680
that would be out standing.

840
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,680
>>Yes. I know that that there's

841
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,680
some consternation on behalf

842
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,680
of the ferry system

843
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,680
around those secretary. So

844
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,680
Thank you very much for the

845
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,680
important clarification. I'll

846
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,680
make sure before Sheila puts

847
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,680
those slides up

848
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,680
on that I changed the m

849
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,680
to a k. And Josh already

850
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,680
mentioned the fund or fairy

851
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,680
sign on letter,

852
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,680
but just also wanted

853
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,680
to express my deep gratitude

854
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,680
to everyone for signing on to

855
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,680
that letter. I really do think

856
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,680
it makes a difference,

857
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,680
chairman Fye mentioned

858
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,680
in his, remarks to when he was

859
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,680
unveiling the budget that he

860
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,680
had heard about ferries

861
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,680
from very many emails. So,

862
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,680
thank you. I think you

863
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,680
definitely,

864
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,680
made an impact this legislative

865
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,680
session, so we really

866
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,680
appreciate it. I'm going

867
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,680
to switch from talking

868
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,680
about the budgets, and then

869
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,680
that I think are probably

870
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,680
important to all of you the

871
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,680
housing stability bill,

872
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,680
which was a very interesting,

873
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,680
legislature thing

874
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,680
to watch this year. Is still

875
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,680
alive. House bill 2114.

876
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,680
They're the senate version

877
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,680
of that bill actually died

878
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,680
in the senate committee because

879
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Senator Cleveland, voted yes

880
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,680
for the bill, and then in an

881
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,680
unusual move did not sign,

882
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,680
officially when the hearing was

883
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,680
over, and then came out

884
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,680
publicly and said that she was

885
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,680
not in support

886
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,680
of the bill causing it

887
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:55,680
to die. So then the house

888
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,680
version

889
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,680
of the bill passed the house

890
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680
And in a very unusual move,

891
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,680
they bypass the housing

892
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,680
committee and sent that bill

893
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,680
directly to the ways and means

894
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,680
committee,

895
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,680
where it will have a hearing,

896
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,680
I think later this,

897
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,680
what was scheduled for a public

898
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,680
hearing actually today. So we

899
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:16,680
shall see what happens

900
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,680
with that bill. Of course,

901
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,680
quite a big deal, down in

902
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,680
Olympia this year, one of the

903
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,680
biggest policy things I think

904
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,680
the legislature's discussing.

905
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,468
The housing, subsidy bill,

906
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,680
the real estate transfer tax

907
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,680
bills, both

908
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,680
of those are still alive,

909
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,680
because they are

910
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,680
to implement the budget,

911
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,680
bills. They've been marked

912
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:39,680
that. So, they could still

913
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,680
pass. They both had public

914
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,680
hearings,

915
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,680
but they have not been

916
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,680
scheduled

917
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,680
for executive session. So we'll

918
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,680
see what happens with those

919
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,680
over the next couple

920
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,680
of weeks. And then

921
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,468
on the supply side,

922
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,680
representative doers bill that

923
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,680
would do some work

924
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,680
on the state building code,

925
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,680
passed out of the local

926
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,680
government committee,

927
00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,680
and that's

928
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,680
in the rules committee over

929
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:01,680
in the senate. The co living

930
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,680
bill is also the house version

931
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680
still alive and awaiting floor

932
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,680
action in the senate. And then

933
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,680
the last splitting bill did not

934
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,680
make it forward this year. And

935
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,680
then my final bill that I

936
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,680
wanted to mention to you is the

937
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,680
transit oriented development

938
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:15,680
bill. I think everyone has

939
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,680
heard a lot about this PSRC's

940
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,680
data team has done some

941
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,680
incredible work

942
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,680
on the mapping tool that you

943
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,680
see on the left side where

944
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,680
there's also a link that you'll

945
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,680
be able to find on the website

946
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,680
on the agenda page later today.

947
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,668
And, so, of course, thank you

948
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,680
to them for just doing all this

949
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,680
incredible work

950
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,680
to visualize what this look

951
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,680
like on the ground

952
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,680
for communities,

953
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,680
in our region. And that bill is

954
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,680
actually still alive, it,

955
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,680
passed the house. It's over

956
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,680
in the senate. It came

957
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,680
out of,

958
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,680
the local government committee.

959
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,680
It's in the rules committee

960
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,680
right now. And, in So we'll see

961
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,680
what happens. PSRC has also

962
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,680
done some work

963
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,680
around suggesting how

964
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,680
to define bus rapid transit for

965
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,680
this bill because there is no

966
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,680
definition

967
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,680
in federal statutes And there

968
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,680
is no definition

969
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,680
in state law either. So, it's

970
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,680
kind of one of those know it

971
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,680
when you can see it things.

972
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,680
There are some efforts

973
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,680
to put some language

974
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680
in the bill,

975
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,680
that would clarify it. So we

976
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,680
tried to help out a little bit

977
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,680
with that in the background.

978
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,680
And then I would also say that

979
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,680
the senate transportation

980
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,680
budget has some

981
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,680
in it that would direct the

982
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,680
University of Washington

983
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,680
in cooperation with PSRC

984
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,680
to complete a review of a DOD

985
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,468
development conditions and look

986
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
at zoning and some other

987
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,680
things. So we shall see,

988
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,680
if the bill does not pass, I

989
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,680
assume that that study will

990
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,680
move forward and, you know,

991
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,680
some work will be done

992
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,680
in the interim to look

993
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,680
at what the impacts are. So

994
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,680
that I will stop there and,

995
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,680
take any questions if anyone

996
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:57,680
has them. And I invite

997
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,680
secretary Malar to help me if

998
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,680
anyone has budget questions

999
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,680
some

1000
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,680
of those mega project delays,

1001
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,680
are kind of interesting in

1002
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,680
in how each of the house

1003
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,680
incident handled them.

1004
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,680
>>You know, secretary, Malar,

1005
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,680
do you have any statements or

1006
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,680
comments, now that Robin's that

1007
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,680
was an excellent report,

1008
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,680
Robin. Thank you so much. But

1009
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,680
Now, Roger, is there anything

1010
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,680
you'd like to say

1011
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,680
to the group,

1012
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,680
before I open it up

1013
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:22,680
for questions?

1014
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,680
>>No. I think Robin, did a good

1015
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,680
job summarizing what's going

1016
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,680
on. From my perspective,

1017
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,680
both houses have listened

1018
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,680
to us, among us, all the other

1019
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,680
people they listen to. A lot of

1020
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,680
our issues have been addressed,

1021
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,680
very differently. So, it's

1022
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,680
going

1023
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,680
to be quite a challenge,

1024
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,680
but I think, people

1025
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,680
with goodwill will we'll get

1026
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,680
to wherever they're going

1027
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,680
to be. We have more funding now

1028
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,680
than we've ever had,

1029
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,680
and the need is still greater.

1030
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,680
And, you know,

1031
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,680
and everybody wants it now.

1032
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,680
So, we'll see you. We'll see

1033
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,680
what comes out in, a little

1034
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,680
over 2 weeks, but I'd be happy

1035
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,680
to help

1036
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,680
with any questions.

1037
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,680
>>Alright. Thank you, Roger.

1038
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,680
Questions for either, Robin or

1039
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,680
secretary Millar regarding the

1040
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,680
presentation. Any questions?

1041
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,668
We got a pretty quiet group

1042
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,680
today. Okay, Robin. That was

1043
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,680
wonderful. Great report. Thank

1044
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,680
you very much,

1045
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,680
and looking forward

1046
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,680
to seeing you soon. Okay?

1047
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,680
Thank you. Okay. So we are

1048
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,680
going to move on. Is there any

1049
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,680
other that was part

1050
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,680
of your report? So is there any

1051
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,680
other? Okay. So, we're going

1052
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,680
to move on

1053
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,680
to the committee reports.

1054
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,680
Please refer

1055
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,680
to your agenda packet

1056
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,680
for reports on the February

1057
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,680
transportation and growth

1058
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,680
management policy board

1059
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,680
meetings. The operations

1060
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:46,680
committee met this morning,

1061
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,680
and I'll ask vice president,

1062
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Dave Summers,

1063
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,680
to give a report. Good morning,

1064
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,680
Dave.

1065
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,680
>>Good morning. Good morning,

1066
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,680
everybody. Good

1067
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,680
to see you all. So it, today's

1068
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,680
operations can meeting the

1069
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,680
committee recommended board

1070
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,468
approval of items 6b

1071
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,680
through 6d on your executive

1072
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,680
board consent agenda. And those

1073
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,680
items were vouchers,

1074
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,680
contract authority

1075
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,680
for waterfront place, office

1076
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:12,680
repair, and restoration,

1077
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,680
and contract authority

1078
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,680
for the 2024 General

1079
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,680
Assembly. So those are

1080
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,680
recommended unanimously

1081
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,680
for your approval. Reminder

1082
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680
state auditors' office is

1083
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,680
conducting their annual audit

1084
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,680
with PSRC and the economic

1085
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,680
development district,

1086
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:29,680
and we've been invited

1087
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,680
to a report out

1088
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,680
by the audit team on March 7th.

1089
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,680
And we also learned that a

1090
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:36,680
number

1091
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:37,680
of jurisdictions have been,

1092
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,680
stopping by PSRC's old offices

1093
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,680
to take some surplus equipment

1094
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,680
and furniture,

1095
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,680
and that's going

1096
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,680
to reduce the actual cost of

1097
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:46,680
the waterfront place office

1098
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:47,680
restoration efforts. And Huge

1099
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,680
thanks, shout out to Council

1100
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,680
member Merrill

1101
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:52,680
for suggesting PSRC. Do some

1102
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,680
outreach and a great number

1103
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,468
of jurisdictions, are reusing

1104
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,680
the items PSRC couldn't find

1105
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,680
room for in its new offices.

1106
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,680
So I, I understand that carcass

1107
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,680
is being picked clean.

1108
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,680
Rapidly. And so,

1109
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,680
that's great use of, PSRC's,

1110
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,680
old equipment and many folks

1111
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,680
very grateful to have it. So

1112
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,680
thank you for that. So that

1113
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,680
concludes my report. Any

1114
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,680
questions?

1115
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,680
>>Any questions for executive

1116
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,680
summers?

1117
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,680
>>Thank you.

1118
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,680
>>I want

1119
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,680

Walker. Thank you

1121
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,680
for being here today. Okay.

1122
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,680
Seeing none, we're going

1123
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,680
to move on to consent agenda,

1124
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:31,680
would anyone

1125
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,680
like anything removed

1126
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,680
for discussion

1127
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,680
on the consent agenda? That's

1128
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,668
items a through g. K? Seeing

1129
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,680
none,

1130
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,680
I would entertain a motion to

1131
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:45,680
approve the consent agenda

1132
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,680
items A through G,

1133
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,680

1134
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,680
>>I moved to approve the

Brian.

1137
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,680
>>Second.

1138
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:55,680

00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,468
concerns? Seeing none, hearing

1142
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,680
none, all in favor, say aye.

1143
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,680
>>Aye.

1144
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,680
>>Anyone opposed? Anyone

1145
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,680
abstaining? Okay. Motion

1146
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,680
carries. Next, we are moving

1147
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,680
on to discussion item about the

1148
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,680
regional transportation plan

1149
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,680
dashboard. And this is Craig

1150
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,680
Hillman, our data guru,

1151
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,680
Craig? Where are you, Craig?

1152
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,680
>>Can y'all hear me and see me,

1153
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,680
okay?

1154
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,680
>>Yep. You're there.

1155
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,680
>>Alright. Hopefully, this

1156
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,680
starts

1157
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,680
to share the slideshow.

1158
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,680
Alright. Everyone can see my

1159
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,680
slideshow. Okay?

1160
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,680
>>Sounds great.

1161
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,680
>>Thank you. Alright. So I'm

1162
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,680
here to talk to you all

1163
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,680
about the RTP dashboard,

1164
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,680
and I'll warn you if you were

1165
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,680
at the transportation policy

1166
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680
board. This is the exact same

1167
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,680
presentation,

1168
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,680
exact same slides. That we

1169
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,680
shared just a couple weeks ago,

1170
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,680
as well as we shared at the

1171
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,680
regional staff committee just

1172
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,680
last week,

1173
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:04,680
to see if you have background,

1174
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,680
We shared the development

1175
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:07,680
of the RTP dashboard last year,

1176
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,680
with all our boards,

1177
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:10,680
including you all,

1178
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,680
and we shared it last in

1179
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,680
January as we're developing it

1180
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,680
just as a reminder, the

1181
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,680
performance dashboards are

1182
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,680
resource to help our region

1183
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:20,680
understand how we're meeting

1184
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,680
our long range goals,

1185
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,680
and it was directed directly

1186
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,680
out of our recently adopted

1187
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,680
regional transportation plan.

1188
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,680
So we spent, early 2023 taking

1189
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,680
feedback. We took it down

1190
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,680
to all our boards and lots of

1191
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:33,680
different committees and little

1192
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,680
groups, and we made changes

1193
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:41,680
to the dashboard based

1194
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,680
on that feedback. And now what

1195
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,680
we're doing each year is coming

1196
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,680
as what we're calling this kind

1197
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:47,680
of annual briefing or annual

1198
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,680
report. We ended up doing the,

1199
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,680
briefing in February, just

1200
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,680
because we got a lot

1201
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,680
of year end data

1202
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:52,680
by the end of, early in

1203
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,680
February. So if we come in

1204
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,680
February, we can share year end

1205
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,680
stuff more,

1206
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,680
readily than if we say come

1207
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,680
in January. So you can expect

1208
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,680
to see us each, February or

1209
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,680
kind of talking

1210
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:01,680
about different things

1211
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,680
in the dashboard. My other

1212
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,680
highlight at the end

1213
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:05,680
of this dashboard, end

1214
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,680
of this presentation,

1215
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,680
I apologize. There's a link

1216
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,680
to the dashboard. If you're

1217
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,680
following along,

1218
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,680
you're welcome to go look

1219
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,680
at the dash board. My only

1220
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,680
warning

1221
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,680
to you all is we size it. We

1222
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:15,680
it's spun up

1223
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,680
on servers outside

1224
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,680
of PSRC. I don't have the link

1225
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,680
at the beginning of it because

1226
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,680
then everybody the dashboard

1227
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,680
at the same time. It slows

1228
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,680
things down on the dashboard.

1229
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,680
We generally size the thing

1230
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,680
to meet probably five

1231
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,680
to ten people

1232
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,680
at a time looking at it.

1233
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,680
Realistically

1234
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,680
in our organization, not that

1235
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:33,680
many people. I love our data. I

1236
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,680
love what we put out there

1237
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,680
for people to see. We rarely

1238
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,680
were not Amazon. We don't have

1239
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,680
hundreds of people at any given

1240
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,680
clicking our stuff. So if all

1241
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,680
of you go to click it

1242
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,680
at the exact same time, it'll

1243
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:43,680
probably be a little slow. So

1244
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,680
if you're all looking

1245
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:45,680
at it now, just the warning,

1246
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:46,680
it'll be a little slow

1247
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,680
for you. On this kind

1248
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,680
of table, what is shown

1249
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,680
in bold, these are the

1250
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,680
highlights I'm going

1251
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,680
to show you just some of the

1252
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,680
highlights and the trends and

1253
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,680
direction things are going I'm

1254
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,680
going to give you, basically,

1255
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,680
regional numbers for most

1256
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,680
of this stuff. If you actually

1257
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:01,680
go into the dashboard, you'll

1258
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:02,680
see a lot more geographies

1259
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,680
for these different metrics.

1260
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,680
As well as the ones that are

1261
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,680
not bolded,

1262
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,680
you can look and kind

1263
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,680
of see what those are. The

1264
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,680
other part we have

1265
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,680
on here is this kind

1266
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,680
of progress column. And this is

1267
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,680
one I've been expecting

1268
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,680
pushback from folks,

1269
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,680
but I haven't gotten any yet.

1270
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,680
The idea of the progress column

1271
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,680
is just as look

1272
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,680
at the trends we're seeing,

1273
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,680
are they moving

1274
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,680
in the way that we want them

1275
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:23,680
to move according

1276
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,680
to our goals and our plans?

1277
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,680
That would be the green check

1278
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,680
mark. Kind

1279
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,680
of the green dashes,

1280
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,680
things are good,

1281
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,680
but they're maybe moving

1282
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,680
in the wrong direction. So we

1283
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,680
should really keep our eyes on

1284
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,680
them and make sure that green

1285
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:36,680
dash doesn't turn

1286
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,680
into what is the third thing,

1287
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,680
which is the red x. Those are

1288
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,680
the ones that are clearly

1289
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:41,680
from the data not going

1290
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,680
in the direction,

1291
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:44,680
that we would like them

1292
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:45,680
to go in. So just orient folks

1293
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,680
to that as we kind of go

1294
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,680
through it and you'll see it

1295
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,680
on some of the slides. So I

1296
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,680
will take you

1297
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:52,680
through these kind of 5 main

1298
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,680
topic areas in the dashboard.

1299
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,680
So we can start with climate

1300
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:56,680
and just as a refresher

1301
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,680
for everyone. The goal

1302
00:40:58,680 --> 00:40:59,680
in our plan is to be 80%

1303
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,680
below 1990 GHG levels

1304
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:02,680
by the year 2050. It's 50%

1305
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,680
below those 1990 levels

1306
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,668
by the year 2030. We don't have

1307
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,680
a sensor out in the air

1308
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,680
measuring the GH that's

1309
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,680
submitted. So we use a lot

1310
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,680
of proxy measures

1311
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,680
to see where we're going

1312
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,680
on these. So some

1313
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:19,680
of the ones we've talked about

1314
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:20,680
here are the transportation

1315
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,680
Carbonization as an example.

1316
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,680
Here's one where we've actually

1317
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,680
seen pretty significant changes

1318
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,680
just in a short amount of time

1319
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:27,680
that green line chart showing

1320
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,680
there. These are coming from

1321
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:30,680
2017 onward. These are

1322
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,680
for new vehicle registrations.

1323
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,680
And so if you're

1324
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:34,680
on the dashboard,

1325
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:35,680
this is just showing you

1326
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:36,680
but if you're actually

1327
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:37,680
on the dashboard,

1328
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:38,680
you can see what it is

1329
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:39,680
for used vehicles as well. So

1330
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,680
by the end of 2023, about 43%

1331
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,680
of all new vehicle

1332
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:44,680
registrations were either

1333
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,680
electric or hybrid, and you can

1334
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:46,680
actually see where the purple

1335
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,680
line, that's the battery

1336
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:49,680
electric vehicles have actually

1337
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,680
and surpass the hybrid electric

1338
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:53,680
vehicles in early 2023. They

1339
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,680
each make up about 20 some

1340
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:57,680
percent

1341
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,468
of the overall registrations.

1342
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,680
On the dashboard. If you look

1343
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,680
at it, you can also see a map

1344
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,680
by, census track. So it can

1345
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,680
give you an idea of where some

1346
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,680
of those higher and lower

1347
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,680
levels are,

1348
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:12,680
and we overlay that with some

1349
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:13,680
of our equity focus areas

1350
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,680
for people

1351
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:16,680
of color and low income. So you

1352
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:17,680
can kind

1353
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,680
of see how that matches. Maybe

1354
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:19,680
not surprising. There's some

1355
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,680
census tracks in the east side

1356
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:22,680
of the lake where over 3

1357
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,680
quarters of the new vehicle

1358
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,680
registrations or electric

1359
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,680
vehicles. And there are places

1360
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,680
in, say, Kitsap County where

1361
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,680
it's less than 10% of new

1362
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:32,680
vehicle registrations are,

1363
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,680
electric fields, but it's

1364
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:34,680
really interesting how rapidly

1365
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,680
it is changing. Even

1366
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,680
on the used car market,

1367
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:38,680
if you look

1368
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,680
at the dashboard and look

1369
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,680
at the used vehicles right now,

1370
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:42,680
about 90%

1371
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:43,680
of the used vehicle market is

1372
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,680
for internal combustion

1373
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:46,680
engines. It's about 10% now for

1374
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,680
electric and battery electric

1375
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,680
and hybrid electric vehicles.

1376
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:51,680
It's definitely changing fairly

1377
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,680
rapidly as these vehicles are

1378
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:54,680
actually now starting to hit

1379
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,680
the used car market as well.

1380
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,680
So that kind

1381
00:42:58,680 --> 00:42:59,680
of highlight that one. That was

1382
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,680
a green check mark. That idea

1383
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,680
of kind of a green dash

1384
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:03,680
Williams, we look at kind

1385
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,680
of vehicle miles traveled. We

1386
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,680
are definitely still

1387
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,680
below where we're

1388
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,680
at pre pandemic levels, but

1389
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,680
we're getting closer the last

1390
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,680
set

1391
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:12,680
of regional data we have were

1392
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,680
about 9% pre pandemic levels,

1393
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,680
but we've definitely been

1394
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:16,680
increasing

1395
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:17,680
since the lows coming out

1396
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,680
of the pandemic where we were

1397
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,680
about 20% below.

1398
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:21,680
On the dashboard, you can look

1399
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,680
at both per mile or, sorry,

1400
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,680
per capita metrics. That's what

1401
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,680
I'm showing you

1402
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,680
on the chart here.

1403
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,680
But you can also look

1404
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,680
at the total VMT as well. Both

1405
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,680
per capita and totals are

1406
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,680
below what they were, pre

1407
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:34,680
pandemic,

1408
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,680
but they're definitely starting

1409
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,680
to increase a bit. And there

1410
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,680
are other metrics, as I had

1411
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:39,680
mentioned, and other

1412
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,680
geographies that you can kind

1413
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:41,680
of see

1414
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:42,680
on the dashboard as you kind

1415
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,680
of flip through,

1416
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,468
those climate related measures.

1417
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:47,680
On the safety side of things,

1418
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,468
our goal is, similar

1419
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:51,680
to the state and many

1420
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,680
of our jurisdictions is 0 fatal

1421
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:54,680
and serious collisions

1422
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,680
by the year 2030. This is

1423
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,680
definitely one where the

1424
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:58,680
numbers are going

1425
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,680
in the wrong direction,

1426
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:01,680
hence the red x we have there.

1427
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,680
The data for 2023 will become

1428
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,680
available and May. And so a few

1429
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:06,680
months from now, we'll be able

1430
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,680
to see where we're at in 2023.

1431
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,680
So, unfortunately,

1432
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:10,680
this data is through 2022, but

1433
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:11,680
you can see that rapid increase

1434
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,680
in the amount

1435
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:13,680
of people who died

1436
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,680
on our regions roadways. This

1437
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:18,680
is just in our Four counties

1438
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,468
in 2022. We had 300 almost 3

1439
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,680
30 people die

1440
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,680
on roadways almost 1 a day.

1441
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,680
All numbers from 2023 look like

1442
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,680
it's worse than it was. I think

1443
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,680
many of you are familiar with

1444
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,680
the work that PSRCs been

1445
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,680
embarked upon on the street and

1446
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:35,680
our safe streets

1447
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,680
for all grant work

1448
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,680
with the federal government.

1449
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:39,680
There's now been 2 different

1450
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,680
funding rounds come out. The

1451
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,680
first one, we collaborated

1452
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,680
with 6 other local

1453
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,680
jurisdictions to get almost

1454
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,680
$5,000,000 in grants to develop

1455
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:48,680
a safety action plan. And just

1456
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,680
in the last month, PSRC is,

1457
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,680
kicked

1458
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,680
off our safety action plan

1459
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:54,680
with our consultant team. And

1460
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,680
so all and all those other six

1461
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,680
jurisdictions are also

1462
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,680
under contract as well with us

1463
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:00,680
to get their work going

1464
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,680
on their safety action plans.

1465
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,680
Since then, we were,

1466
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,680
notified that in 2023, another

1467
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:08,680
10 jurisdictions got, grants

1468
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,680
with the safe streets

1469
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:11,680
for all work to also embark

1470
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,680
upon safety action plans

1471
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:14,680
for their jurisdictions,

1472
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:15,680
but we were definitely going in

1473
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,680
the wrong direction when we

1474
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,680
look at annual traffic related

1475
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:21,680
deaths. And this metric as we

1476
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:22,680
kind of see and some

1477
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,680
of the things we're trying

1478
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:25,680
to put in the dashboard is

1479
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,680
share more information about

1480
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,680
racial disparities and whatever

1481
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:29,680
data that we can share it. So

1482
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,680
this is an example

1483
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:31,680
on the traffic rate

1484
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,680
of the desk

1485
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,680
by race and ethnicity. And you

1486
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,680
can see that American Indian,

1487
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:36,680
our Alaska native member of our

1488
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,680
community was seven times more

1489
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:39,680
likely to die in a traffic

1490
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:40,680
related collision than a white

1491
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,680
resident in the year 2022. And

1492
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,680
you can also see kind

1493
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:43,680
of how that varies by other

1494
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:44,680
race and ethnicity groups As

1495
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,680
you go on to the dashboard,

1496
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,680
you can also see we have it

1497
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:48,680
by gender. We have it by age.

1498
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,680
We have information

1499
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,680
by different geographies. We

1500
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,680
also have it by cities. And

1501
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,680
then you can also look and kind

1502
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:56,680
of see how things vary maybe

1503
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,680
by time of day or day

1504
00:45:58,680 --> 00:45:59,680
of week. We have lots of

1505
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:00,680
different metrics that are

1506
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:01,680
available for folks to pull

1507
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,680
off of the dashboard. But this

1508
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:04,680
is definitely another one

1509
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:05,680
of those that is not moving

1510
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,468
in the right direction.

1511
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:10,680
On the growth side, the goals

1512
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,680
on our growth come

1513
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,680
from vision 2050. It's really

1514
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,680
about where our population and

1515
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,680
employment growth. So 65%

1516
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,680
of our population and 75%

1517
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,680
of our job growth. Is to occur

1518
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,680
near high-capacity transit

1519
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:22,680
in our regional centers. Once

1520
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,680
again, there's more data

1521
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:25,680
on the dashboard. You can kind

1522
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:26,680
of see just

1523
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:27,680
from the little bullets

1524
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,680
at the top there. If you're

1525
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,680
on the dashboard,

1526
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:32,680
you could click those and look

1527
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,680
at each one. I'm going

1528
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:35,680
to add a line to these to show

1529
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,680
you actually what the goal is.

1530
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,680
I should have had that

1531
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,680
on there, originally. So the

1532
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:40,680
population goal is 65%. So you

1533
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,680
can kind

1534
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:42,680
of see where we've been since

1535
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:43,680
2011. Coming out

1536
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,680
of the great recession

1537
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:46,680
about 3rd of our population

1538
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,680
growth was occurring

1539
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,680
near high-capacity transit.

1540
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:50,680
In the last several years,

1541
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,680
we've been closer

1542
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:53,680
to 50% mark. You can kind of

1543
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,680
see we've definitely rash it

1544
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,680
up, early on

1545
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:57,680
into the forties. And we'd I

1546
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,680
always say

1547
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,680
for a data perspective, that

1548
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,680
2020 2021 year are really,

1549
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,680
really hard to look at.

1550
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,680
They're so anomalous,

1551
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:09,680
so it's hard to see. So another

1552
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,680
couple of years of data,

1553
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:11,680
we'll see if we continue

1554
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:12,680
to keep hovering

1555
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:13,680
around that 50% mark.

1556
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,680
On the job side,

1557
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:16,680
we definitely go up and

1558
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,680
down and hover pretty close

1559
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:19,680
to that 75%

1560
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:20,680
of our job growth. You can kind

1561
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,680
of see how things vary year

1562
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:23,680
by year. It kind of bounces

1563
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,680
around there. We can see in

1564
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:26,680
2022 is hovering about 60%.

1565
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,680
Some years, it it's been

1566
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:29,680
over 80%. Is definitely one

1567
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,680
of those ones that kind

1568
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,680
of comes up and down. Hence,

1569
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,680
the reason, once again,

1570
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,680
for the kind of sideways dash

1571
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,668
on both of these for kind

1572
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,680
of where we're going in terms

1573
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:44,680
of our growth. I combined

1574
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:45,680
transit and the walk and bite

1575
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:46,680
measures into 1

1576
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:47,680
for the presentation just

1577
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:48,680
to try to keep things simple.

1578
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,680
This is an example where I've

1579
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,680
brought up in our previous

1580
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:53,680
presentations that really our

1581
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:54,680
goals and our plan are

1582
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,680
about growth. Are fatal and

1583
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,680
serious collisions,

1584
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,680
and they're about climate. And

1585
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,680
so we really look at transit,

1586
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,680
walk, and bike, non-motorized,

1587
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:05,680
all that stuff is kind of

1588
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:06,680
metrics that help us meet our

1589
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:07,680
climate goals. So in

1590
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:08,680
in many ways,

1591
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:09,680
all these measures could also

1592
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,680
go under the climate, section

1593
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,680
of So as we separate those out,

1594
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,680
that's why I've actually

1595
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,680
mentioned in this case, and

1596
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:16,680
you'll see the difference

1597
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:17,680
language on the plan where you

1598
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,680
have a goal. It's called goal

1599
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,680
and where it's just an outcome

1600
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:22,680
of the plan. So a lot

1601
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,680
of these are outcome measures.

1602
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,680
They're called plan outcomes.

1603
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,680
And so in this case, if you're

1604
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:27,680
to look at our plan, our

1605
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,680
regionally,

1606
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:30,680
adopted transportation plan.

1607
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,680
We're looking

1608
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:32,680
at triple transporting

1609
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,680
by the year 2050. And probably

1610
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:35,680
before I even go

1611
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,680
to the next slide, you're

1612
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:37,680
probably all fully aware that

1613
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,680
the impact

1614
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:40,680
of the pandemic has been huge

1615
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,680
on transit ridership. So this

1616
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,680
is showing annual transit

1617
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:44,680
boardings as an example

1618
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:45,680
by year. So this is

1619
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:46,680
through the end of the year

1620
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,680
2023. We are definitely

1621
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,680
below where we're at. 2019 as

1622
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,680
well as we were forecasted

1623
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:56,680
to be. It might be hard

1624
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,680
for you to see on the screen,

1625
00:48:58,680 --> 00:48:59,680
but the slope of that line

1626
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,680
since 2021 It's actually

1627
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:02,680
growing more rapidly than the

1628
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,680
slope of the orange line,

1629
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:05,680
which is the forecast,

1630
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:06,680
but it's definitely

1631
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,680
down below. It's about 70%

1632
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:08,680
of where we're

1633
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,680
at forecasted before. It

1634
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,680
definitely varies by mode,

1635
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,680
and you can see that

1636
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,680
on the dashboard. If you click

1637
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:15,680
through it, you can look at,

1638
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,680
things by bus, rail, commuter,

1639
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,680
I should say when I say rail,

1640
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,680
light rail,

1641
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,680
car versus commuter rail,

1642
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,680
and you can kind of see that

1643
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,680
in the bullet points here,

1644
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:26,680
light rail,

1645
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,680
since the pandemic, especially

1646
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,680
since, Northgate stations

1647
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:30,680
opened. It's actually now in

1648
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,680
2023 above where it was

1649
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,680
in pre pandemic levels. The bus

1650
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,680
routes are about 70%

1651
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:36,680
of where they're at. Commuter

1652
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,680
rail and van pools,

1653
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:39,680
which serve our kind

1654
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,468
of employment centers. Those

1655
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:43,680
places are most likely

1656
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,680
to have still higher shares

1657
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:46,680
of work from home,

1658
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,680
for instance, are some

1659
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:49,680
of the ones who are furthest

1660
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:50,680
down in terms

1661
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:51,680
of where they're at. They're

1662
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,680
more like 30 or 40%

1663
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:54,680
of what it was

1664
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:55,680
in pre pandemic measures. When

1665
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,680
we look

1666
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,680
at it and compare ourselves

1667
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,680
to other metro areas,

1668
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:00,680
and we do this for a lot

1669
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:01,680
of the measures

1670
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:02,680
in the dashboard. So you can

1671
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:03,680
kind of click

1672
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:04,680
through and you can kind

1673
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,680
of compare us to 27

1674
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,680
of the largest MPOs

1675
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,680
around the country. This is

1676
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:09,680
where I'd say our,

1677
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:10,680
we're very similar

1678
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:11,680
to everybody else. We're middle

1679
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,680
of the pack. So there's 27 bars

1680
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,680
here. We're number 13. So we're

1681
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:15,680
almost smack dab

1682
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,680
in the middle. So we're at

1683
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:18,680
about 68% of pre pandemic

1684
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,680
transit boardings in 2023. And

1685
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:21,680
you can kind of see,

1686
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,680
where some of those ones

1687
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:25,680
at the top bar that were closer

1688
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,680
to that kind of Miami, San

1689
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,680
Diego, Austin, Houston.

1690
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,680
They're closer to a 100%. No

1691
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,680
one is at a 100%. You can see

1692
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:35,680
we're very similar to places

1693
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:36,680
like Boston. We're actually

1694
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,680
above Boston, slightly below

1695
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:39,680
Washington, DC. When you're

1696
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:40,680
in the dashboard,

1697
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:41,680
you can also look

1698
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:42,680
at the totals,

1699
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,680
not just these ratios. So the

1700
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:45,680
other thing I bring up when

1701
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:46,680
I've I shared this slide is

1702
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,680
places like Miami have a lot

1703
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:49,680
less transit ridership than we

1704
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,680
have in our region. They have a

1705
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:52,680
lot less transit service than

1706
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:53,680
we have. This is just showing

1707
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,680
how much closer they are

1708
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,680
to those places, but you

1709
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:57,680
definitely see the sun belt

1710
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:58,680
for the most part of those

1711
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,680
places that have recovered a

1712
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:01,680
lot quicker, than the rest

1713
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,680
of us. But as I mentioned,

1714
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,680
we're kind of middle

1715
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:06,680
of the pack. Hovering right

1716
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:07,680
near that kind of 70%

1717
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,680
of the pre pandemic levels

1718
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,680
for transit ridership. This one

1719
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:12,680
is about walking to work. And I

1720
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,680
thought this measure might be

1721
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,680
interesting to folks. And I and

1722
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:17,680
I looked back

1723
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:18,680
in the data all the way to

1724
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,680
2006. It's been pretty

1725
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:21,680
consistent, actually. So when

1726
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:22,680
you look at the dashboard,

1727
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:23,680
that's the other thing you'll

1728
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:24,680
find is We generally do 3 years

1729
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:25,680
of data. So we have 2012,

1730
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,680
2017, 2022. This is all census

1731
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,680
related data. So 2022 is the

1732
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,680
most recent data that we have.

1733
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,680
Geographies. This is the

1734
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,680
by county and region again,

1735
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:36,680
but also if you're on here,

1736
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,680
you can actually see it

1737
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:39,680
by city as well. We had the 3rd

1738
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,680
highest walk to work, in 2022

1739
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,680
of any metro region, only

1740
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,680
Boston, New York are higher

1741
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,680
than us. We're somewhere

1742
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,680
between 3 5 every year back

1743
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,680
to 2000 6. So we're

1744
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,680
consistently one of the top 5

1745
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,680
highest shares of walk to work

1746
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,680
in the country. Having said

1747
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,680
that when we're number 3,

1748
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,680
there's a big difference

1749
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:01,680
between us and New York. So

1750
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:02,680
we're hovering right here a

1751
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,680
little about 3 a half percent.

1752
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,680
New York is about 12%. Now

1753
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,680
having said that, New York

1754
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:09,680
isn't 40%. It's about 40%

1755
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:10,680
of people using transit to get

1756
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,680
to work in New York City,

1757
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:13,680
but there's still about triple

1758
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,680
of what we are,

1759
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:16,680
even though we're number 3 in

1760
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Boston, maybe not surprisingly,

1761
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,680
is kind of in between the 2.

1762
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,680
So there's even a decent amount

1763
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:22,680
of distance between us and

1764
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,680
in places like Boston as an

1765
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,680
example.

1766
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,680
But having said that,

1767
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:28,680
we are definitely one

1768
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:29,680
of the we have one

1769
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:30,680
of the higher shares

1770
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,680
of walked work

1771
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:32,680
in the country,

1772
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,680
and you can kind

1773
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:35,680
of see how it varies by,

1774
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:36,680
county. It's maybe always

1775
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:37,680
surprising to people. We

1776
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:38,680
actually have a pretty high

1777
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:39,680
share of walk to work in

1778
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,680
Kitsap. So Kitsap County

1779
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:42,680
actually has a higher share

1780
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:43,680
of walk

1781
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:44,680
to work residents than King

1782
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:45,680
County does. It's an example. A

1783
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:46,680
bit of that is a lot

1784
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:47,680
of people living in Bremerton

1785
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:48,680
working at the Puget Sound

1786
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,680
Naval Shipyard. That is have a

1787
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,680
couple more slides here. I

1788
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,680
think time wise,

1789
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:55,680
I'm doing okay. These are just

1790
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,680
a couple on delay. Once again,

1791
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,680
this was a plan outcome. So in

1792
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,680
the plan where you were looking

1793
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,680
at an actual reduction and

1794
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,680
delay per household, these ones

1795
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,680
might be a little hard

1796
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,680
to decipher. This is,

1797
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:11,680
quarterly charts, and these are

1798
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:12,680
stacked bars showing the

1799
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,680
percent of the system that is

1800
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,680
either heavy heavily congested

1801
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,680
or severely congested. So heavy

1802
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,680
congestion,

1803
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:21,680
it means you're going

1804
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:22,680
on a freeway

1805
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,680
under thirty miles an hour. If

1806
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:25,680
you're severely congested,

1807
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,680
you're averaging 9 or 15 miles

1808
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:28,680
an hour. So, so very,

1809
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,680
very slow on the freeway. You

1810
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:31,680
know, I think about that. And

1811
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,680
then the same ratios are

1812
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,680
applied to arterials. You can

1813
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,680
see going in the morning peaks

1814
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,680
before the pandemic, about 60%

1815
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:39,680
of the network was congested

1816
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,680
with a big chunk of it

1817
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,680
about 20%

1818
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,680
of it being severely congested.

1819
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:46,680
You can see that we're still

1820
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,680
not back to those levels. I

1821
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:49,680
think most people who've seen

1822
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:50,680
that morning commutes

1823
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,680
definitely are not as bad as

1824
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:53,680
they were yet. They're getting

1825
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,680
worse, but you can also see

1826
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:56,680
that severe congestion. It's

1827
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:57,680
about half of what it was,

1828
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,680
pre pandemic. So we're hovering

1829
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,680
about 50% of the network is

1830
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,680
congested now. We have a

1831
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:04,680
federal performance target.

1832
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,680
That is one

1833
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,680
of the things FHWA requires us

1834
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,680
to have. And our performance

1835
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,680
target, what these numbers were

1836
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,680
actually performing better than

1837
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,680
our federal performance target,

1838
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:17,680
maybe not too surprisingly.

1839
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,680
The afternoon's a little

1840
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:20,680
different. In

1841
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:21,680
on the dashboard,

1842
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:22,680
you can see it in the middle.

1843
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:23,680
On the dashboard, you can look

1844
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,680
at what it is in the middle

1845
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:26,680
of the day. Things have

1846
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:27,680
definitely gotten worse

1847
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:28,680
in the middle of the day. I've

1848
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:29,680
shared the story of all

1849
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,680
of us who work from home. It

1850
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:31,680
seems like we go shopping at

1851
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,680
Costco in the middle

1852
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:34,680
of the day, you got a lot

1853
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,680
of more activity that happens

1854
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:37,680
in the middle of the day. This

1855
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:38,680
afternoon congestion, the

1856
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,680
afternoons were never really

1857
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,680
just people going

1858
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:43,680
to going home from work.

1859
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:44,680
There's also people going out

1860
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:45,680
to dinner, doing stuff

1861
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,680
with their families. So there's

1862
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,680
always a lot bigger mix. So

1863
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,680
it's gotten closer. It's still

1864
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:51,680
lower, but you can kind

1865
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,680
of see that pre pandemic. It

1866
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:54,680
was about 70%

1867
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:55,680
of the network was congested.

1868
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,680
Now we're about 60%

1869
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:58,680
of the network. And once again,

1870
00:54:58,680 --> 00:54:59,680
that kind of severe congestion

1871
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:00,680
is less than it was, but it's

1872
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,680
definitely growing and getting

1873
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:03,680
closer to what it was

1874
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,680
in those pre pandemic. Years,

1875
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,680
and you can definitely kind of

1876
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:08,680
see as that growth is happening

1877
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:09,680
in the congestion. Once again,

1878
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:10,680
if you go on the dashboard,

1879
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,680
we also have maps So you can

1880
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,680
see, facilities. So you can

1881
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,680
zoom in and see where your

1882
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:17,680
facility is at. I will say

1883
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,680
though when 70%

1884
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:20,680
of the network is congested,

1885
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,680
pretty much every bar on the

1886
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:23,680
network will show congestion.

1887
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,680
It's a it's a pretty,

1888
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:26,680
in some ways, ugly map. If you

1889
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,680
want to look at it that way,

1890
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:29,680
there's not a lot of places

1891
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:30,680
that are not congested. So that

1892
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,680
that's the last bit

1893
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,680
of slides I have. The link,

1894
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,680
as I promised, is here. So you

1895
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,680
can get the presentation

1896
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,680
on the dash on this

1897
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,680
presentation is already online.

1898
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:43,680
You can download it. You could

1899
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:44,680
follow the link. You could dig

1900
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,680
around and look

1901
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,680
at the different, pages

1902
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:47,680
on the dashboard. The other

1903
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,680
thing we have on there,

1904
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,680
there's a circle icon circle

1905
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:52,680
with an eye for information.

1906
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:53,680
If you go on that one, you can

1907
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:54,680
actually download the data. If

1908
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,680
you click the button,

1909
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:57,680
it'll take 15, 20 seconds

1910
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,680
because it's downloading all

1911
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,680
the data, but it actually gives

1912
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:01,680
you every piece of data that's

1913
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,680
in the dashboard. So you're

1914
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:04,680
welcome to use it however you

1915
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:05,680
like to use it. We'll continue

1916
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,680
to update data throughout the

1917
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,680
year. So as data becomes

1918
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:10,680
available, we update it. We

1919
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:11,680
don't wait till the end

1920
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,680
of the year to update it. And

1921
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:14,680
then each year will come and

1922
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,680
share kind of the highlights

1923
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:17,680
in this February time frame as

1924
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:18,680
I mentioned. So folks can see

1925
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,680
what's up there,

1926
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:21,680
but welcoming you all

1927
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:22,680
to go check it out. See what's

1928
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:23,680
there. And if you have any

1929
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:24,680
questions about it, reach out

1930
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,680
at any time. And we're happy

1931
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,680
to add stuff to it,

1932
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:29,680
take stuff away from it. It is

1933
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,468
a online living thing,

1934
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:33,680
and we will definitely continue

1935
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,680
to update and change. So

1936
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:36,680
with that, I'm happy to stop

1937
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,680
sharing and take any questions.

1938
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,680
>>Great report, Craig. Thank

1939
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,680
you so much. Mayor Robinson,

1940
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:42,680
question for Craig.

1941
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,468
>>Yeah. This is fantastic.

1942
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:46,680
And, obviously, I just looked

1943
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:47,680
at it briefly just now.

1944
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,680
But it it does kind of appear

1945
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:50,680
like you are actually getting

1946
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:51,680
people out. We are getting

1947
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,680
people out of cars. And if

1948
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,680
that's the case, and we're

1949
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:58,680
seeing more collisions and

1950
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,680
fatal fatalities,

1951
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:02,680
we have just got to really

1952
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,680
emphasize the alternative mode

1953
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,680
infrastructure so that as we

1954
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,680
encourage people

1955
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,680
to take the bus to, to get out

1956
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,680
of their cars,

1957
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:13,680
we're actually putting them

1958
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,680
in a safe situation. So I hope

1959
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,680
that as a as a group that we

1960
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:18,680
are going to emphasize that.

1961
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,680
Thank you.

1962
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,680
>>Sorry. I was going

1963
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:25,680
to share you. If you look

1964
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,680
on the dashboard

1965
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:28,680
at the collisions by type,

1966
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:29,680
there's definitely been a

1967
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,680
noticeable increase

1968
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:32,680
in the amount

1969
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:33,680
of pedestrians and cyclists,

1970
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:34,680
but especially pedestrians

1971
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:35,680
who've been dying

1972
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,680
on our roadways since 2010.

1973
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:38,680
It's definitely it's increasing

1974
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:39,680
for all categories, but it's

1975
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:40,680
definitely seen a noticeable

1976
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,468
increase for those pedestrians.

1977
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,680
>>Secretary Malar.

1978
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:48,680
>>Thank you. And, Craig, thank

1979
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:49,680
you for a great presentation

1980
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,680
and a great product. I'm

1981
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:52,680
curious whether you're

1982
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,680
coordinating

1983
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:56,680
with our gray notebook folks

1984
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,680
at Washdot. There's, it's

1985
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,680
interesting. Some of the stuff

1986
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,680
like the congestion figures you

1987
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,468
showed. When we talk

1988
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,468
about reliable travel times.

1989
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,680
And everybody freaks out

1990
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:11,680
about the reliable travel time

1991
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:12,680
from Snohomish County down

1992
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:13,680
into Seattle or from Pierce

1993
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,680
County into Seattle. What they

1994
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,680
don't pick up is if you look

1995
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,680
at our data, it takes longer

1996
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,680
to drive by yourself. From

1997
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,680
Everett to Seattle than it does

1998
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,680
to carpool from Everett to

1999
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,680
Seattle. And that takes longer

2000
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,680
than it takes to ride a bus.

2001
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,680
From Everett to Seattle. So the

2002
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,680
word, the thing that got

2003
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,680
in the paper, was it takes 90

2004
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,680
minutes to drive. What didn't

2005
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:41,680
get

2006
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:42,680
in the paper is it's less than

2007
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,680
60 minutes if you take the bus.

2008
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,680
And so it would be useful if it

2009
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680
while it's important to tell

2010
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,680
everybody how congested the

2011
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:50,680
highways are, that there are

2012
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,680
solutions, to manage your life

2013
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,680
in that congested space. So I

2014
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,680
hope we can use the data that

2015
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,680
we're presenting to tell more

2016
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,680
of those stories. But, yeah,

2017
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,680
thanks. It's a great stop.

2018
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:04,680
>>Yeah.

2019
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:05,680
>>And just so you, for context,

2020
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:06,680
we're trying

2021
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,680
to put more and more context

2022
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,680
on each of our pages. And so

2023
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:10,680
one of the things that this

2024
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:11,680
clicked is mentioning that is

2025
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:12,680
we have links off of as you go

2026
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,680
into each page. We have,

2027
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,680
different relevant links

2028
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,680
for that kind of data So one of

2029
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:20,680
the things we should do is

2030
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:21,680
definitely link to watch dot

2031
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:22,680
screen notebook as an example.

2032
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,680
We definitely have worked at,

2033
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:25,680
reached out to folks in your

2034
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:26,680
in your shop as we've talked

2035
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,680
about getting data, sharing

2036
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:29,680
data, what's there, but that

2037
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,680
would be a great resource

2038
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:32,680
to add that as a link. So when

2039
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:33,680
you're looking at that,

2040
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:34,680
we can connect people

2041
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:35,680
to other places. We're planning

2042
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,680
to do the same thing on the

2043
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:38,680
transit slides as an example.

2044
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:39,680
Point people to what our

2045
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,680
transit agencies have and other

2046
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,680
information. They might be

2047
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,680
sharing as well.

2048
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:45,680
>>Great. I just put the link

2049
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,680
in, the chat.

2050
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,680
>>Thank you. Executive summers.

2051
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,680
>>I'm just wondering if we have

2052
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:53,680
a heat map or a geographic

2053
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:54,680
location where fatalities are

2054
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,680
occurring, interesting,

2055
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:57,680
or does anybody put anything

2056
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,680
like that together get an idea

2057
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,680
if they're clustered or

2058
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,680
scattered or >>It is definitely

2059
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,680
underway. We don't have it yet

2060
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,680
as part of our regional safety

2061
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:09,680
action plan. We're working

2062
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:10,680
on identifying one of the,

2063
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,680
kind of requirements of that

2064
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:14,680
safety action plan is a high

2065
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,680
injury network. But we have

2066
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:17,680
also been talking about,

2067
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,680
and we had the same,

2068
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,680
same idea come up at the

2069
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:22,680
transportation policy board as

2070
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:23,680
well. It'd be great to kind

2071
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:24,680
of see a heat map just a a way

2072
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,680
to highlight or concentrations

2073
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,468
these have been occurring.

2074
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:30,680
Definitely have some stuff

2075
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:31,680
internal,

2076
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:32,680
that I've been working

2077
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:33,680
on that, but we are definitely

2078
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:34,680
working and an plan

2079
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:35,680
to incorporate that as part of

2080
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,468
our safety action plan.

2081
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,680
>>I'm not seeing any more hands

2082
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:42,680
up. Any more questions for

2083
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,680
Craig. I want to say Craig has

2084
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,680
helped me out several times

2085
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:48,680
when I've had data questions,

2086
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,680
he's been really good about,

2087
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,680
you know, responding and, and,

2088
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,680
providing really good

2089
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:56,680
information, just as I asked

2090
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:57,680
for it. So I want

2091
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,680
to say thank you for that,

2092
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:00,680
Craig. We have a great data

2093
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,680
team here at Puget Sound

2094
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:04,680
Regional Council. So any other

2095
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,680
questions for Craig? Okay.

2096
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,668
Thank you, Craig. Okay. So, now

2097
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,668
we're moving on to miss Kelly

2098
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:15,680
McGurdy with the discussion of

2099
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,680
the regional transportation

2100
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,680
plan 2026, 2050 development

2101
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,680
process. Kelly.

2102
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,680
>>Good morning. Thank you. And

2103
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,680
the information that Craig

2104
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:31,680
shared

2105
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:32,680
with you queued up a number

2106
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,680
of my slides as, Josh did in

2107
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:35,680
his introductory remarks as

2108
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,680
well. We are, officially

2109
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,680
launching, the development of

2110
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,680
our next regional

2111
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:42,680
transportation plan. And today,

2112
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,680
I'm just I'm going

2113
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:45,680
to I we thought it was

2114
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:46,680
important

2115
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:47,680
to give some foundation,

2116
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:48,680
especially for new members who

2117
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:49,680
weren't a part

2118
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,680
of the development

2119
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:52,680
of our current plan, just

2120
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:53,680
Reminding folks what some

2121
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:54,680
of the requirements are,

2122
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:55,680
what's in our regional

2123
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:56,680
transportation plan and how we

2124
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:57,680
got there. There's been a lot

2125
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:58,680
of work happening since then,

2126
01:01:58,680 --> 01:01:59,680
and Craig shared a little bit

2127
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:00,680
of that. And then we'd like

2128
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:01,680
to chat with you

2129
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:02,680
about where we go next

2130
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:03,680
in terms of developing this

2131
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:04,680
next plan and get some,

2132
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,680
preliminary feedback

2133
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,680
on priorities. But this is just

2134
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:09,680
the this is the con

2135
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,680
conversation 1 of many more

2136
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,680
to come. So this is kind

2137
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,680
of the boring stuff. The

2138
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:17,680
requirement part stuff. So, we

2139
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,680
are required to have a where

2140
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,680
it's the long range regional

2141
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:22,680
transportation plan

2142
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,680
with a minimum of 20 years. We

2143
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:25,680
everything we do is based

2144
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,680
in vision. And so right now,

2145
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:28,680
we are going out to a Horizon

2146
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:29,680
year of 2050, which is a little

2147
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:30,680
bit longer than a 20 year

2148
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,680
planning horizon. We are

2149
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,680
required to update or develop a

2150
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,680
new plan every 4 years. And the

2151
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,680
current plan was adopted in

2152
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,680
May of 2022. So now it's time

2153
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:41,680
to develop the plan that will

2154
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:42,680
be adopted in May of 2020 I

2155
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,468
won't go through all

2156
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,680
of the bullets here, but a lot

2157
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:48,680
of the requirements that we see

2158
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,680
for this product from both the

2159
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:51,680
federal legislation and state

2160
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,680
legislation very much aligned

2161
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,680
with the priorities and the

2162
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,680
vision and policies and vision

2163
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,680
2050 as well, an integrated

2164
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,680
system I will talk a little bit

2165
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,680
about the financial strategy.

2166
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:04,680
All of the most current and the

2167
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:05,680
best data we can pull together

2168
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,680
on our, growth and our travel

2169
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,468
patterns and Craig mentioned,

2170
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,680
touched on this. So performance

2171
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:13,680
measures and targets is also

2172
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,680
something that not only that we

2173
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:16,680
do and we try to do very, very

2174
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:17,680
well, but it is something

2175
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:18,680
that's also anchored

2176
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,680
in federal state legislation.

2177
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:21,680
My presentation doesn't have

2178
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:22,680
that. We do have a wealth

2179
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,680
of information, and Craig

2180
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:25,680
touched on a lot of it,

2181
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:26,680
but can always come back at a

2182
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,680
future presentation and talk

2183
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,680
more about that. So moving

2184
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,680
into some Background

2185
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:35,680
information on the current

2186
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,680
regional transportation plan.

2187
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:38,680
As we began developing this

2188
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,680
current tip,

2189
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:41,680
the board had conversations

2190
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:42,680
about what are the objectives

2191
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,680
and the overall priority. And

2192
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:45,680
these were the 2 objectives

2193
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,680
that we landed on. Again, as I

2194
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:48,680
mentioned,

2195
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:50,680
everything we do is based

2196
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:51,680
in vision 2050. And the

2197
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,680
regional transportation plan is

2198
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:54,680
really the implementation arm

2199
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,680
of that vision, and to support

2200
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,680
vision 2050's leading edge, our

2201
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,680
ambitious transit focused

2202
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:02,680
regional growth strategy. And I

2203
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:03,680
just realized I'm doing it

2204
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,680
again. I'm moving my head. So

2205
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:06,680
apologies. I will try to stop

2206
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:07,680
doing that so everyone can hear

2207
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,680
me. As part

2208
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:10,680
of this current plan,

2209
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:12,680
we also really tried to,

2210
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,680
achieve better data collection

2211
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,680
and analysis tools, not just to

2212
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,680
support the plan that we were

2213
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:19,680
building, but

2214
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,680
in recognition that the updates

2215
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:22,680
to local comprehensive plans

2216
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,680
were happening, So really

2217
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:25,680
helping to support that local

2218
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,680
investment planning as well.

2219
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:28,680
But also recognizing that there

2220
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,680
are existing challenges on the

2221
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,680
ground today we are planning

2222
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,680
out for 2050. So thinking about

2223
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:35,680
those bigger picture thinking

2224
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:36,680
on investments that might be

2225
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,680
needed into the future.

2226
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,468
In addition, recognizing that

2227
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:43,680
the region continues to grow,

2228
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:44,680
in addition to those 2 key

2229
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,680
objectives, the board spent

2230
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:47,680
some time really focusing on,

2231
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,680
6 key policy focus areas that

2232
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:51,680
they wanted to use

2233
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,680
to direct development

2234
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,680
of the plan,

2235
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:56,680
not just building a transit

2236
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:57,680
network, but accessing that

2237
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,680
transit network, safety,

2238
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,680
equity, climate, supporting our

2239
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,680
local agencies and the needs

2240
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,680
on their local systems as a,

2241
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:05,680
again, as well as that forward

2242
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:06,680
thinking, looking

2243
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,680
at the future investment. And I

2244
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:09,680
love the little fidget spinner

2245
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,680
to the right, and I have

2246
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,680
to give community transit

2247
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,680
credit for this. Many years

2248
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,680
ago, they invited us

2249
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:17,680
to a swift tour,

2250
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,680
and they handed out this fancy

2251
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:21,680
green fidget spinner. And we

2252
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:22,680
took that and ran with it

2253
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:23,680
because it was such a good

2254
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:24,680
representation

2255
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:25,680
of how each element

2256
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:26,680
of the plan is interconnected.

2257
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:27,680
So maintenance and

2258
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:28,680
preservation, for example,

2259
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:29,680
is woven throughout all

2260
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:30,680
of the modes of the plan.

2261
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,680
Safety and equity are woven

2262
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:33,680
throughout all elements

2263
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:34,680
of the plan,

2264
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:35,680
transit is connected to our

2265
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,468
bicycle and pedestrian network,

2266
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,680
etcetera. So that became a real

2267
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,668
theme as we developed the plan.

2268
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:50,680
Another important thing

2269
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,680
to acknowledge is that The plan

2270
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:54,680
includes investments

2271
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:55,680
for the entirety

2272
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:56,680
of the transportation system.

2273
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:57,680
It includes both larger scale

2274
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:58,680
projects, but it also includes

2275
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,680
what we call,

2276
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:01,680
programmatic investments. And

2277
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,680
all of the,

2278
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:04,680
the representation that you see

2279
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:05,680
on the slide here,

2280
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:06,680
local and regional transit,

2281
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,680
cities, counties, the state

2282
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:09,680
investments, our ports, All of

2283
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:10,680
these investments are

2284
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:11,680
represented

2285
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,668
in the current plan. Part of

2286
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,680
the current plan that we're

2287
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,680
very proud of is,

2288
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:21,680
we spent a substantial amount

2289
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:22,680
of time trying

2290
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,680
to do more when it came to data

2291
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:25,680
collection and really having a

2292
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:26,680
better understanding of the

2293
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,680
current transportation system

2294
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:29,680
on the ground at that moment

2295
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:30,680
in time,

2296
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,680
what was being planned for

2297
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,680
in terms of investments, and

2298
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:35,680
then really trying understand

2299
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:36,680
where are the needs,

2300
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:37,680
where are the opportunities

2301
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,680
in there.

2302
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:40,680
For the first time ever, we

2303
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:41,680
have a regional sidewalk

2304
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:42,680
inventory. We don't have,

2305
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,468
every facility, throughout the

2306
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,680
region,

2307
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:48,680
because we are a very large

2308
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:49,680
region,

2309
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:50,680
but we have some thresholds

2310
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:51,680
about what we consider the

2311
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:52,680
regional system. And we're very

2312
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:53,680
excited

2313
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:54,680
about the work that was done

2314
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:55,680
to update those inventories.

2315
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:56,680
And then we compiled all that

2316
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:57,680
data

2317
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,680
into a new visualization tool.

2318
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:00,680
And this was a great tool

2319
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:01,680
for us as we did our planning,

2320
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,680
but we also wanted it

2321
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:04,680
to be useful to our member

2322
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:05,680
jurisdictions as they do their

2323
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,680
planning. So the users can zoom

2324
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,680
into a specific area,

2325
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:10,680
see what's on the ground

2326
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,680
in terms of facilities,

2327
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,680
see what's planned in terms

2328
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:15,680
of investments,

2329
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,680
but do so within,

2330
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:18,680
other contextual data. So

2331
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:19,680
for example,

2332
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:20,680
where regional centers are,

2333
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:21,680
where activities are, where our

2334
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,680
demographic and our equity

2335
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:24,680
focus areas are. So this is a

2336
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,680
really born fruit for us,

2337
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:27,680
and we're going to continue

2338
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:28,680
to utilize this

2339
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,680
into the future. An additional

2340
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:34,680
element

2341
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:35,680
of the current plan is we try

2342
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,680
to do some extensive outreach

2343
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:38,680
And, of course, we developed

2344
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,680
the plan. I think we started

2345
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,680
just as the pandemic began in

2346
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,680
2020. So we did have

2347
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:45,680
to pivot and move more

2348
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,680
to more online tools,

2349
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:48,680
more social media.

2350
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,680
But we tried to do some new and

2351
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,680
innovative things. We had

2352
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:53,680
online open houses. We of

2353
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,680
course did the surveys and our

2354
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:56,680
formal public comments as we

2355
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:57,680
normally do,

2356
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,680
but we also did focus groups.

2357
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:00,680
We reached out

2358
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:01,680
to youth groups. So we try

2359
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:02,680
to do more. And

2360
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:03,680
for this new next plan,

2361
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:04,680
we will continue to try

2362
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,680
to do even more. We even,

2363
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:07,680
they made stuff,

2364
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:08,680
do some videos. So they made me

2365
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,680
go on camera and do videos.

2366
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:11,680
Now I'm now I'm a little more

2367
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,680
used to it since we have to do

2368
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,680
it every day now. I think all

2369
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,680
told, when we think about all

2370
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,680
of the different engagement, I

2371
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,680
think, Literally thousands of

2372
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:22,680
comments throughout the course

2373
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:23,680
of the plan development,

2374
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,680
which was really,

2375
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,680
really helpful. Moving

2376
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:30,680
into a little bit more

2377
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:31,680
of the detail

2378
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:32,680
about what are the investments

2379
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:33,680
in the plan and some

2380
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,680
of the other background. The

2381
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:37,680
plan is a $300,000,000,000

2382
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:38,680
plan. It does go out again to

2383
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,680
2050. And I think an important

2384
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:41,680
note is that over half

2385
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,680
of the plan is dedicated

2386
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:45,680
to maintaining, preserving,

2387
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,680
and operating the system. As I

2388
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:49,680
mentioned, the plan includes

2389
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:50,680
both what we call programmatic

2390
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,680
investments, including things

2391
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:53,680
like maintenance and

2392
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:54,680
preservation, including things

2393
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,680
like local investments, But

2394
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:57,680
for the but

2395
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,680
for those investments

2396
01:08:58,680 --> 01:08:59,680
in system expansion, this,

2397
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,680
percentage really resonates

2398
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:02,680
with me 70%

2399
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,680
of those system investments.

2400
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:05,680
The system improvements are

2401
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:06,680
dedicated

2402
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:07,680
for local and regional transit.

2403
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:08,680
And you can see

2404
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,680
from the bottom of the slide,

2405
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,680
By 2050, we will have pretty

2406
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:13,680
extensive expansion

2407
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:14,680
of the transit network plan.

2408
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:15,680
36 bus rapid transit routes

2409
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,680
will be in operation 10

2410
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,680
passenger only ferry routes and

2411
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:22,680
over a hundred miles

2412
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:23,680
of light rail. And we did a

2413
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:24,680
little digging, and we believe

2414
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:25,680
this is the most aggressive

2415
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:26,680
transit expansion

2416
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,680
in the country. We are required

2417
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:30,680
to have a financially

2418
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,680
constrained plan, which means

2419
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:33,680
that funding sources that are

2420
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,680
currently available plus a

2421
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,680
reasonable strategy for

2422
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,680
potential new revenue sources

2423
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,680
must be enough to pay

2424
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:42,680
for the full suite

2425
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:43,680
of investments. And so

2426
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,680
for the $300,000,000,000, 84%

2427
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,680
of the plan is funded with our

2428
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,680
forecast current law revenues,

2429
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:50,680
and I believe that is the

2430
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:51,680
largest percentage that we've

2431
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:52,680
seen

2432
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:53,680
to date as we've moved forward

2433
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:54,680
with our plan. I'm seeing some

2434
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,680
head nods in the back.

2435
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,680
Thanks, Ben. The remaining 16%

2436
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,680
is coming

2437
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,680
from what we call our strategy.

2438
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,680
And this was a built a menu of,

2439
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:07,680
menu of new revenue options

2440
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:08,680
that could be compiled and

2441
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,680
deployed

2442
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:11,680
to fill that 16% gap. And I

2443
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:12,680
know that, a lot of things are

2444
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:13,680
moving and changing

2445
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,680
with financial forecast both

2446
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:16,680
in terms

2447
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:17,680
of revenues and expenditures,

2448
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:18,680
and that will be a big topic

2449
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:19,680
of discussion as we move

2450
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,680
into the next plan. Yeah.

2451
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,680
These next two these next two

2452
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:29,680
slides really illustrate the

2453
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:30,680
expansion

2454
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:31,680
of the transit network. So this

2455
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:32,680
is just a map showing the high

2456
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:33,680
capacity transit network that

2457
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,680
was on the ground in 2018,

2458
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:37,680
which is our base year

2459
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,680
at the time. And this is just

2460
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:40,680
the visual representation

2461
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:41,680
of what that network will look

2462
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:42,680
like in 20 So that's pretty

2463
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,680
exciting. So now I'd like

2464
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:48,680
to pivot a little bit and talk

2465
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,680
about what have we done

2466
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:51,680
since the plan was adopted in

2467
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,680
2022 I mentioned this plan is

2468
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:54,680
really about, implementation

2469
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,680
and, making progress towards

2470
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,680
our vision and priorities. So

2471
01:10:58,680 --> 01:10:59,680
I'm going to give just a a few

2472
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,468
highlights related to each

2473
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,680
of these five bullet points.

2474
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,680
First on safety, and Craig just

2475
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:09,680
shared with you,

2476
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:10,680
some information on the

2477
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,680
regional safety action plan,

2478
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:13,680
which is now underway. We have

2479
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,680
our consultants on board. We

2480
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:16,680
actually know that about up

2481
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,680
to 25 jurisdictions

2482
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:19,680
in addition

2483
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:20,680
to the work we'll be doing

2484
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:21,680
at the regional scale up to 25

2485
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:22,680
of our local jurisdictions are

2486
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,680
also developing local safety

2487
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:25,680
action plans under the Sage

2488
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,680
Streets and Ritzborough grant

2489
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:28,680
program. And our regional

2490
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:29,680
safety action plan will be done

2491
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,680
hopefully early 2025 in time

2492
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,468
for informing and incorporating

2493
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:35,680
into this next regional

2494
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,680
transportation plan.

2495
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,680
But I also it would be remiss

2496
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:40,680
of me if I didn't also talk

2497
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:42,680
about our first ever regional

2498
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:43,680
safety summit. We were very

2499
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:44,680
excited about that. It was a

2500
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,680
lot of work, but it was,

2501
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,680
a really great event. We had,

2502
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,680
over a 140, participants join

2503
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,680
us to talk about safety. We had

2504
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,680
some national speakers And the

2505
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:55,680
feedback from that summit will

2506
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:56,680
definitely inform,

2507
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,680
not just development of our

2508
01:11:58,680 --> 01:11:59,680
regional safety action plan,

2509
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:01,680
but also the regional

2510
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:02,680
transportation plan as we move

2511
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,680
forward. On equity, you may

2512
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,680
remember that in January, just

2513
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:09,680
last month,

2514
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,680
you adopted the policy

2515
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:12,680
framework for our 2024 project

2516
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,680
selection process, and that

2517
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,680
included recommendations

2518
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:17,680
for improvements from our

2519
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:18,680
equity advisory committee

2520
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,680
related to that came directly

2521
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,680
out of our FHWA Equity pilot.

2522
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,468
That project selection process

2523
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,680
is underway moving forward,

2524
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:28,680
and we'll come back to you in

2525
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:29,680
July with the results

2526
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,680
of the total suite

2527
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:32,680
of project investments. But

2528
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,680
in addition, what you may not

2529
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:36,680
remember is in 2023 as well,

2530
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,680
the board adopted a new way

2531
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,680
of how we distribute a portion

2532
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,680
of our federal transit

2533
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,680
administration funds. So we are

2534
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,680
now dedicating a portion

2535
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:47,680
of these funds to distribute

2536
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,680
to transit, projects with a

2537
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:50,680
very focused and very

2538
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:51,680
intentional methodology that

2539
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:52,680
will support and improve

2540
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,680
transit service for our equity

2541
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:55,680
focused populations. We did our

2542
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:56,680
1st round

2543
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,680
of that new distribution late

2544
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,680
in 2023. We'll do our next

2545
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,680
round as part of our 2024

2546
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:05,680
project selection process.

2547
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,468
Moving on to climate,

2548
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,680
there is a lot

2549
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:12,680
of work that has been going

2550
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,680
on climate as well. The current

2551
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,680
regional transportation plan,

2552
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,680
we always do an analysis out

2553
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,680
to our horizon year. So we

2554
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:22,680
provided a lot

2555
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,680
of performance metrics out to

2556
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:25,680
2050, but the plan directed us

2557
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:26,680
to also use,

2558
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:28,680
to also conduct an analysis

2559
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:30,680
of the interim year of 2030,

2560
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:31,680
which is an alignment with our

2561
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,680
regional climate goals. So we

2562
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,680
concluded this work, earlier

2563
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,680
in 2020 3. We identified where

2564
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,680
we were in comparison

2565
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:41,680
to our climate goals for

2566
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,680
2030, but we also conducted

2567
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:45,680
some sensitivity testing. So we

2568
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:46,680
could pull on different policy

2569
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,680
levers and see, the potential

2570
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:49,680
for further emission reductions

2571
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,680
depending on,

2572
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:53,680
which lever we wish to pull.

2573
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:54,680
That was a very valuable

2574
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,680
exercise for us. We provided a

2575
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,680
lot of information

2576
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,680
to the boards earlier in 2023.

2577
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,680
Shortly

2578
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:03,680
after that work was concluded,

2579
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:04,680
we convened a climate expert

2580
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,680
review We brought in, experts

2581
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:07,680
from around the country and

2582
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:08,680
other MPOs,

2583
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:09,680
and they reviewed not just our

2584
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,680
2030 work, but all of our

2585
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:12,680
modeling framework and our

2586
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:13,680
assumptions. That was a very

2587
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,468
valuable exercise for us

2588
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:17,680
to conduct as well. And we'll

2589
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:18,680
be working on a summary

2590
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:19,680
to come back. And I believe

2591
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:20,680
next month,

2592
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:22,680
we will come back and share,

2593
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:23,680
reminds the board

2594
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:24,680
of what was done in 2030 and

2595
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,680
share some results

2596
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:27,680
of the panel as well as,

2597
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:28,680
next steps for all the other

2598
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:29,680
work that's going on. I also

2599
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:30,680
wanted

2600
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,680
to note that there are a number

2601
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:33,680
of partnership efforts. We work

2602
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:34,680
very closely with our partners

2603
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:35,680
at the Puget Sound Clean Air

2604
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:36,680
agency, and I wanted to

2605
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,680
highlight a few things that

2606
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,680
have been going on. In 2022, I

2607
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,680
believe, is when we completed a

2608
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:43,680
partnership project to update

2609
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,680
the regional greenhouse gas

2610
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:46,680
emissions inventory. And we

2611
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,680
brought the base year inventory

2612
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,680
up to 2019. This is a very

2613
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:52,680
important body of work,

2614
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,680
and I'm very excited

2615
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:55,680
about this for a couple

2616
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:56,680
of reasons. 1, it was a

2617
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:57,680
partnership between, our

2618
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:00,680
agency, the Clean Air agency,

2619
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:01,680
all 4 of our counties,

2620
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,680
and the city of Seattle. And

2621
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:05,680
the importance of doing this as

2622
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:06,680
a partnership is now, I think

2623
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:08,680
for the first time,

2624
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:09,680
we are all working

2625
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:10,680
from the same playbook. We're

2626
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:11,680
working

2627
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:12,680
from the same were working from

2628
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:13,680
the same assumptions and

2629
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:14,680
methodology,

2630
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:15,680
which was very important. The

2631
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:16,680
other benefit of this project

2632
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:17,680
is it didn't just,

2633
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,680
update the base year inventory

2634
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:20,680
Tory. It also looked into the

2635
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:21,680
future and had some

2636
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,680
projections,

2637
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,680
for what would need

2638
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:26,680
to happen. How close are we to

2639
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:27,680
our future goals and what could

2640
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,680
need to happen they developed a

2641
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:30,680
tool very similar to the

2642
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:31,680
sensitivity testing I mentioned

2643
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:32,680
that we conducted where you

2644
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:33,680
can, look

2645
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,680
at a county or jurisdiction

2646
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:37,680
in King County, for example.

2647
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:39,680
And use the tool to pull

2648
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:40,680
on certain levers. And if you

2649
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,680
did more of, more transit,

2650
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,680
more electric vehicles,

2651
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:46,680
what does that do

2652
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:47,680
to overall emission reduction.

2653
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,680
So that was a, a really,

2654
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,680
important project,

2655
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,680
and it's it's continuing

2656
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:54,680
to bear fruit

2657
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:55,680
for the next bullet that I want

2658
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:56,680
to talk about, which is the

2659
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:57,680
climate pollution reduction

2660
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:58,680
grant program. I've, been

2661
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,680
in front of you a couple

2662
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:01,680
of times talking

2663
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,680
about that as has the Clean

2664
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:04,680
Air Agency. And this is really

2665
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:05,680
an alignment

2666
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,680
with an action item

2667
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:08,680
in our current plan that calls

2668
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,680
for us to do with partners at

2669
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:11,680
our clean air agency conducting

2670
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:13,680
a regional climate

2671
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:14,680
implementation plan. So very

2672
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,680
timely under the current

2673
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:18,680
federal legislation,

2674
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:19,680
this grant program came out.

2675
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,680
It provided,

2676
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:22,680
a direct allocation of funding

2677
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,680
to states and

2678
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,680
to large regions such as ours

2679
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:27,680
to do, climate,

2680
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,680
implementation planning. So

2681
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:31,680
climate planning. So the

2682
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:33,680
Clean Air Agency is leading the

2683
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:34,680
work on behalf of the region,

2684
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:35,680
again, with a group

2685
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:36,680
of stakeholders, including

2686
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:37,680
PSRC,

2687
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,680
including all four counties

2688
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,680
in a few of the major cities.

2689
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:42,680
And there were 2 things

2690
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:43,680
in related to the to the

2691
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:44,680
planning work that were due.

2692
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,680
The first one was a

2693
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:47,680
near term look, which is

2694
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:48,680
actually that that document

2695
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:49,680
called the priority climate

2696
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,680
action plan is due to EPA,

2697
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,680
in less than 2 weeks. And so

2698
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:55,680
much work had already been done

2699
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:56,680
in the region including that

2700
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:57,680
inventory I mentioned,

2701
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,680
that this was really just kind

2702
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:00,680
of compiling all

2703
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:02,680
of the work and identifying all

2704
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:03,680
of the things that are going

2705
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,680
on. So we felt pretty good

2706
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:06,680
about that. But the next step

2707
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:07,680
is a more comprehensive climate

2708
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:08,680
action plan that will get

2709
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:10,680
started shortly. That will be

2710
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:12,680
due in, summer of 2025. The

2711
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,680
timing is great to feed into

2712
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,680
our regional transportation

2713
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,680
plan and inform that. So we

2714
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:20,680
will definitely come back

2715
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:21,680
with more information

2716
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,680
with our partners

2717
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:24,680
at the clean area to see

2718
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,680
on this work, it will include,

2719
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:28,680
disadvantaged communities

2720
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:29,680
analysis. It will include

2721
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:30,680
workforce development analysis,

2722
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:31,680
and it'll include a lot

2723
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:32,680
of outreach. So as soon as we

2724
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,680
launch that work program,

2725
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:35,680
we will let you know. And then

2726
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,680
last but not least,

2727
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,680
we have been spending time

2728
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:40,680
since 2019 with our partner

2729
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:41,680
at the Clean Air Agency,

2730
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:43,468
to advance regional, electric

2731
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,680
vehicles,

2732
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,680
to support that work. So

2733
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,680
throughout the last 5 years,

2734
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:51,680
we've been holding,

2735
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:52,680
various workshops and events,

2736
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,680
trying to just support our

2737
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:55,680
member agencies in their

2738
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:56,680
in their work

2739
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:57,680
to move this forward. And I

2740
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,680
believe it was, last year that

2741
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:00,680
we also developed a regional EV

2742
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:02,680
clearinghouse.

2743
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,680
With everything else going on,

2744
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:05,680
this one kind of fell

2745
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:06,680
to the back

2746
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:07,680
in our work program, but the

2747
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,680
state published their

2748
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,680
transportation electric

2749
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:12,680
electrification strategy,

2750
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:13,680
which is a lot

2751
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:14,680
of great work. A lot

2752
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,680
of great information. So we

2753
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:17,680
hope to get back to that and,

2754
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,680
continue to improve and expand

2755
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:20,680
our resources to, to,

2756
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,680
support our local agency work

2757
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,680
to decarbonize the system. And

2758
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,680
ultimately, we hope

2759
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,680
to develop a, a more detailed

2760
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,680
and helpful regional EV plan.

2761
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,680
So more to come on all

2762
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:34,468
of that. And then,

2763
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,680
just a couple more things. Our

2764
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:39,680
in in terms

2765
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,680
of transit access,

2766
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:42,680
which is one of the 6 key

2767
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,680
policy focus areas as well. I

2768
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:46,680
mentioned that there's been

2769
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:47,680
extensive expansion

2770
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:48,680
of the transit network

2771
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:49,680
in the plan

2772
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:50,680
But it's important not just

2773
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:51,680
to build the network,

2774
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,680
but make sure that we have,

2775
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:54,680
comprehensive and equitable

2776
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,680
access to that system. So last

2777
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:57,680
year, the team initiated a

2778
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,680
transit access work program to

2779
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:01,680
1st and foremost assess the

2780
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,680
existing tools and resources

2781
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,680
that we've been providing to

2782
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:06,680
see how we can make them

2783
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,680
better. Ultimately identify

2784
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,680
where, what is this state

2785
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:12,680
of the access to transit

2786
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:13,680
throughout the region and

2787
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,680
under various context,

2788
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:16,680
update our tools

2789
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:17,680
to provide more resources, and

2790
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,680
then ultimately do a regional

2791
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:20,680
needs assessment come up with

2792
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,680
some potential recommendations.

2793
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:23,680
So this work has started. The

2794
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:24,680
teams have been working with

2795
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:26,680
our transit agencies and a and

2796
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,680
a work group that spans various

2797
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,680
interest on this topic. And,

2798
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,680
again, this work will feed

2799
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,680
into development of the

2800
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,680
regional transportation plan.

2801
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:39,680
Last on the kind

2802
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:40,680
of what's been going on, as I

2803
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:41,680
mentioned, how excited we were

2804
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:42,680
with the data collection and

2805
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,680
the analysis tools and the

2806
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,680
visualization tool,

2807
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:47,680
the team has already started to

2808
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:48,680
update that those data

2809
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:49,680
collection efforts. So we've

2810
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:51,680
been, reaching out to all

2811
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:52,680
of your addictions

2812
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:53,680
on your staff

2813
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:54,680
to help us just update the

2814
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:56,680
state of the system. We're

2815
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:57,680
going to continue to work on

2816
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,680
improving our analysis

2817
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:00,680
capabilities and really

2818
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:01,680
focusing in

2819
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:02,680
on those needs and

2820
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:03,680
opportunities

2821
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,668
of the current system. So we

2822
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:11,680
are now officially launched

2823
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,680
for development of the next

2824
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:14,680
regional transportation plan,

2825
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:16,680
which will be adopted in May

2826
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,680
of 2026. And I know. We did

2827
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,680
just do this. We are viewing

2828
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,680
2024 really as a year

2829
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:25,680
of engagement and

2830
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:26,680
identification of priorities.

2831
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:28,680
So that's engagement with all

2832
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:29,680
of you and our other boards,

2833
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:30,680
engagement

2834
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,680
with our member jurisdictions,

2835
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:33,680
engagement with the public,

2836
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:34,680
and a variety

2837
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:35,680
of other stakeholders. And so

2838
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:36,680
this first,

2839
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:37,680
the next few slides I'm going

2840
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:38,680
to share with you, we're really

2841
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:39,680
starting the conversation

2842
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:40,680
with you

2843
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,680
about what are the priorities

2844
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,680
for this next For example,

2845
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,680
being centered on people,

2846
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:03,680
it's love to see the back

2847
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:04,680
to basic repairs and focusing

2848
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,680
in on maintenance. And so we're

2849
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:07,680
going

2850
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:08,680
to take this and we'd love

2851
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:09,680
to hear from you today as well

2852
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:10,680
and then start working with the

2853
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,680
transportation policy board on,

2854
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,680
what are what are our top

2855
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,468
priorities? The second question

2856
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:19,680
that we asked them was a little

2857
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,680
bit more, more

2858
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,680
of a sticky note exercise,

2859
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,680
I would say,

2860
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,680
a little bit broader. Given

2861
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:29,680
everything that we shared

2862
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,680
in terms of the performance

2863
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:32,680
metrics and the things that

2864
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:33,680
we've done in the plan, what

2865
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:34,680
are some new things that they

2866
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:35,680
wanted us to to do

2867
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:36,680
for this plan update? And as an

2868
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:37,680
example, Are there new things

2869
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:38,680
they would like us

2870
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:39,680
to analyze? Are there new ideas

2871
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:40,680
or investments that they're

2872
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:41,680
that don't see

2873
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:42,680
in the current plan? Again,

2874
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:43,680
always looking for better ways

2875
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:44,680
to engage with the public This

2876
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:46,680
is just, this is just some

2877
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:47,680
highlights, some examples

2878
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:49,680
of what we heard at the

2879
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,680
transportation policy board.

2880
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:52,680
One was better linking

2881
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:53,680
to land use decisions. We

2882
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,680
certainly are supporting our

2883
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:57,680
transit focused growth

2884
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:58,680
strategy. So we'll dig

2885
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,680
in a little bit more

2886
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:01,680
about that that better linkage

2887
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:02,680
to land use decisions,

2888
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,680
what does that look like

2889
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:05,680
for our work ahead? A number of

2890
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:06,680
these things I would

2891
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:08,680
characterize, I'll sum up and

2892
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:09,680
characterize this with all of

2893
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:10,680
the data collection that we're

2894
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,680
doing, all of the data that's

2895
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:13,680
out there,

2896
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:14,680
really digging deeper

2897
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:15,680
to really understand some

2898
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:16,680
of the reasons. And this came

2899
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,680
up particularly as it related

2900
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,680
to some of our safety data.

2901
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:21,680
And then 2 other things I would

2902
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:22,680
highlight are, 1, continued

2903
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:23,680
decarbonization

2904
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:24,680
of our transportation system,

2905
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:25,680
and then, of course,

2906
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:26,680
our financial As you've as

2907
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:27,680
you've heard,

2908
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,680
there were some agenda items

2909
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,680
in the in the packet today. It

2910
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,680
is getting more and more

2911
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:34,680
difficult costs are increasing.

2912
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,680
Revenues are challenging. So

2913
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:38,680
really digging into our current

2914
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:39,680
financial strategy and seeing

2915
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,680
where those adjustments are

2916
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,680
going to need to be made. So

2917
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,680
those are my prepared slides.

2918
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:47,680
I'd be happy

2919
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:48,680
to answer questions,

2920
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:49,680
but really, we wanted

2921
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:51,680
to turn it over to you all and

2922
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:52,680
see if you had initial thoughts

2923
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:53,680
for us. Again, conversation,

2924
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:54,680
one of many,

2925
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,680
but any initial thoughts on,

2926
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:57,680
priorities as we move forward.

2927
01:23:57,680 --> 01:23:59,468
>>Hello. Questions for Kelly,

2928
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,680
Mayor Robinson.

2929
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:04,680
>>Really quickly. Thank you

2930
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:05,680
for that presentation. You

2931
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:07,680
know, I'm a lifetime transit

2932
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:08,680
rider, and I always call it my

2933
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:09,680
magic carpet ride. And I think

2934
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:11,680
to Roger's point,

2935
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,680
we really need to be talking

2936
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:16,680
about the strong benefits

2937
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,680
to everybody, switching out

2938
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,680
of cars and onto transit. But

2939
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,680
at the same time, I love how

2940
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,680
in that word bubble thing,

2941
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:27,680
it has safety, front and

2942
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,680
center, the largest wearing.

2943
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,680
So again, I'm just going

2944
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,680
to encourage that we continue

2945
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:34,680
to prioritize the safety as we

2946
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,680
encourage people

2947
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:37,680
to try walking and walking to

2948
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,680
transit and taking multimodal

2949
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,680
transportation systems.

2950
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:44,680
Thanks.

2951
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,680
>>Thank you, Mayor.

2952
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,468
>>Questions for Kelly. Okay.

2953
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:53,680
Council member Kitchener from

2954
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,680
Redmond. Go ahead. Can I get

2955
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,680
your name right, Crister?

2956
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:00,680
It's Crister.

2957
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:01,680
>>Sorry. Go ahead. No worries.

2958
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,680
Hi. Well, thank you so much.

2959
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:05,680
>>And I just would say, first

2960
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:06,680
of all, it's really cool to see

2961
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,680
the plans that that we've made

2962
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:09,680
actually going

2963
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:11,680
into action and see some of

2964
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:12,680
those results and just

2965
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,680
appreciate everyone who's been

2966
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:15,680
working really hard on these

2967
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,680
and also all the different,

2968
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:18,680
jurisdictions that have been

2969
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,680
contributing the outcomes that

2970
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,680
that we're starting to see

2971
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:24,680
on these. I think just from,

2972
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:25,680
our perspective in in

2973
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,680
Redmond, you know, some

2974
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,680
of the priorities that we want

2975
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,680
to continue to focus on, obviously

2976
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,268
really exciting to see the work on

2977
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:38,680
equity. Safety is one similar to us

2978
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:39,680
Mayor Robinson noted on the mind of

2979
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,268
people in our jurisdiction and as were

2980
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:48,680
working on our vision zero goals being

2981
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:49,680
able to work on this collectively is so

2982
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:51,680
critical. As we have the arrival of

2983
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:52,680
labor in our community and are doing a

2984
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,680
lot of planning and just think about

2985
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,668
multi-model or immobility and how we

2986
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:00,680
make all those connections and make

2987
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:01,680
them connected all throughout our

2988
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,680
region. So, I think that is a big one.

2989
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:08,680
And for our city in Council, I one of

2990
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:09,680
the biggest focuses is those climate

2991
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,680
objectives. Good to see some of the

2992
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:13,680
progress of their etiquette is one that

2993
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,868
they want to keep laser focusing on and

2994
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:20,680
that making sure that they are doing

2995
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:21,680
what we can collectively do you move

2996
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:22,680
the needle on that. Because it's really

2997
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,680
one of the most because items that we

2998
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,680
have to work regionally on together.

2999
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,680
Thanks.

3000
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,680
>>Great comments, thank you very much.

3001
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:37,468
I got a couple of questions here.We are

3002
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,680
16 percent out right now. And is that

3003
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,668
including the anticipation of the road

3004
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:48,680
user charge or have you put that in at

3005
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:52,680
this point where are we at with that?

3006
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:53,680
The plant is great, they cannot pay for

3007
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:54,680
it

3008
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,668
>>Great question. They four percent is

3009
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:00,680
all of the funding sources are already

3010
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,680
locked and in on the books and 16

3011
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:04,680
percent is covered by the financial

3012
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,680
strategy which currently does presume

3013
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:10,680
the road uses charged beginning in 2030

3014
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:11,680
at higher rates we know that what the

3015
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:12,680
state has assumed you could also

3016
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:16,268
include the menu bar options. You heard

3017
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:19,680
loud and clear what the action item to

3018
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,668
the current plan was through the

3019
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:24,680
(INAUDIBLE) to the current analyzer. We

3020
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:25,680
deftly heard that, we now these are

3021
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,680
recent conversations and where people

3022
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:29,680
stand with (INAUDIBLE) definitely a

3023
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,668
topic (INAUDIBLE)Were going to dig

3024
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,680
into. We do see some sensitivity

3025
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:40,680
analysis in our future looking at those

3026
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:41,680
as they share data 2030 (INAUDIBLE) we

3027
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:45,680
did one of the levers wasThe road uses

3028
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,868
charge.Various rates or no raise on our

3029
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,268
finance. And I'll just put the plug,

3030
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:02,680
everything that we are moving to the

3031
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,680
Carbonite system. Craig mentioned the

3032
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:13,680
kind of rapid penetration of EVs into

3033
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:14,680
the fleet. We need to look at the

3034
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:15,680
revenue impact of that as well.

3035
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,868
>>You got a lot of different levers the

3036
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,680
faculty also have " " that was the

3037
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,680
amendments for today.You got

3038
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:31,680
accelerating cost. We don't really have

3039
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:35,268
revenue pieces. We're going to have to

3040
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:43,680
do some heavy financial Quenching on

3041
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,680
this.

3042
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:52,668
>>We made substantial progress to get

3043
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,268
to 84 percent. The highest level we had

3044
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:12,680
in our regional plan since start doing

3045
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:13,680
regional plans. For example,

3046
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,680
interconnection today where this cost

3047
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:19,680
is (INAUDIBLE) treatment

3048
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,468
programs national transportation plan

3049
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,680
we treat high capacitytransit as

3050
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:03,680
fully funded. This

3051
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,680
doesn't mean that all of our

3052
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:16,680
partnership dealing with cost situation

3053
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:18,680
of project delivery challenges. That is

3054
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,268
happening to everyone. When we take the

3055
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:25,680
big step back and look at the financial

3056
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:26,680
picture, there's some elements in the

3057
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:27,680
plan that are dependent on our revenue

3058
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:31,268
sources for the next 2025 years are just

3059
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,668
now helping us in our sustainable.

3060
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:42,680
>>Thank you. I heard a call for ideas.

3061
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,680
As a couple for you. One said that

3062
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:49,680
we've been looking at is state highways

3063
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,680
that pass through population centers

3064
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:57,680
and not interstate. Not the limited

3065
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,680
access stuff. The state Route 99, 97

3066
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:04,668
Pieces of 509 and 167, 45 miles in our,

3067
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,668
driveway every 55th, no place for

3068
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:16,680
parking bikes. We are up at 1100 miles

3069
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:20,268
of those highways in the state of

3070
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:24,680
Washington. The fatality rate on those

3071
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:25,680
highways is twice the state average.

3072
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:28,680
The jury is three times the state

3073
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:31,680
average. The facilities areAnd often

3074
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:38,680
how is, the legacy highways, nobody

3075
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,868
wants to, we maintain them but we do

3076
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:47,680
not have a program for making safety

3077
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,680
improvements on those highways. And

3078
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,680
having an inventory of those facilities

3079
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,268
, we got 1100 miles lot of them are

3080
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,680
within the PS RC region. That is where

3081
01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:05,680
people are getting killed and get

3082
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:08,680
seriousInjuries.The statements of a

3083
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,680
statewide program. If you are really

3084
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,680
going deep dive into safety, that is a

3085
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:20,680
place where some investments can make a

3086
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:22,468
significant difference.For something

3087
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:29,680
completely different, we really need to

3088
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:33,680
be thinking as to go forward, what is

3089
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:35,468
the communicating doing the

3090
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,680
transportation and land use, and

3091
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:40,680
economic development space. A lot of

3092
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,680
downtown is concerned about(INAUDIBLE)

3093
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,668
work. Everybody teleworking to me is

3094
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:53,680
one less customer in my heavy system

3095
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:54,680
but it's the impact on transit and

3096
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:56,468
downtown retail, impacting commercial

3097
01:32:57,680 --> 01:32:58,680
market downtown. I would hope that as

3098
01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,680
we look into this plan, we are looking

3099
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,668
at it long-term and rather than

3100
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:09,680
thinking ways to (INAUDIBLE) back to

3101
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,680
the office, how do we leverage this new

3102
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:15,680
behavior to change development patterns

3103
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,668
in our downtown. To change commerce

3104
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:24,680
pattern, how to change how we use our

3105
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:25,680
public transportation. It is something

3106
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,868
that Reagan be dealing with. If I were

3107
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:32,680
to tell my people to come back to the

3108
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:33,680
office, I would lose 1/4. Of them

3109
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:35,680
right away.

3110
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:48,680
>>Thank you for mentioning that. I

3111
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:49,680
should have noted that. As I mentioned

3112
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:52,680
that the current plan was built kind of

3113
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:53,680
a while they were independent. And

3114
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:55,680
started before we are independent of the

3115
01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:58,680
now, we all hesitate to say after the

3116
01:33:58,680 --> 01:33:59,680
pandemic, the but now we are hearing

3117
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,468
2034, 70 looking at new travel

3118
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,680
behavior. We have a 2023 survey

3119
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:15,680
definitely everything you said, and to

3120
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:16,680
select mitigating but overall she is

3121
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:17,680
and travel behavior, we are keeping an

3122
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,680
eye on that.

3123
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,268
>>Thank you.I'll echo few comments or

3124
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:45,680
restate and emphasize a few comments I

3125
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,668
made during that sort of interactive

3126
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,680
session that we had a TPV. I want to

3127
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:54,680
highlight the importance of safety,

3128
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:57,668
focusing on the basics and prioritizing

3129
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:06,680
bridge, maintenance, road repairs. We

3130
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:08,680
need to new a lot of new sidewalk

3131
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,680
investments those last mile our

3132
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,680
personality does, and make sure our

3133
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,680
communities are truly connected is

3134
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:21,680
really important. Electrification is

3135
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,680
also really important and by that, I

3136
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:25,680
don't mean just electrification the

3137
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,468
transferring " " Transit fleet.Transit

3138
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:07,680
service and reliability without having

3139
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:08,680
a Pardo conversation about how we can

3140
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:09,680
improve the public safety experience on

3141
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,668
while before " " While people are on

3142
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,680
transit. And lastly

3143
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,680
cleanliness. One thing

3144
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,680
I've learned the private sector, they

3145
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:57,668
don't build new products or features

3146
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:03,680
for shift new features that people are

3147
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:07,268
going to use or adopt.People actually

3148
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,268
want to take transit. Just want to

3149
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:34,680
emphasize those areas. That is also

3150
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:35,680
going to contribute to not only our

3151
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:36,680
transit ridership goals. That is a lot

3152
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,668
of areas. It is often enforcing

3153
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,680
overloads specific opportunity that is

3154
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:49,680
a lot of really critical areas. Thank

3155
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:50,680
you.

3156
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:54,268
>>Yes, good morning. I just want to

3157
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:58,680
take the opportunity to introduce

3158
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,668
myself, this my second meeting. His

3159
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:12,680
comments as to where the public safety

3160
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:13,680
committee and also a member of our

3161
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,468
transportation committee that the

3162
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,680
public safety pieces is very important

3163
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:22,680
that is something that would be

3164
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,668
definitely part of our work plan 2024.

3165
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:27,680
And I echo his comments and also want

3166
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:30,680
to take the opportunity to say I was

3167
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:31,680
the center the earlier data, this want

3168
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:33,680
to, the public safety aspects of this

3169
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:37,680
in terms of the dataIs may be needs to

3170
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:41,268
be adjusted. For example, we have a

3171
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,268
death on Aurora at the underpass, an

3172
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:51,680
older lady, she decided to cross. That

3173
01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:52,680
is a divided highway at that point. In

3174
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:54,680
the reason why it was because of that

3175
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:55,680
your underpass is so unsafe for her and

3176
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:59,868
her mind in reality, she decided to go

3177
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:05,680
across 29 itself instead of taking the

3178
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:06,680
underpass. I do think that point will

3179
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:09,668
be was captured.Yes, pedestrian that

3180
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:15,680
but really it is tied to public safety'

3181
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,268
have on 99 in the South Aurora bridge.

3182
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:21,680
That is something that we are working

3183
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:23,680
constantly. That is the point there.

3184
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,680
Separately, property owner, we have

3185
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:30,268
seen people " " we can assume that is

3186
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:32,680
accidental. Recently, we had some young

3187
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,680
people purposely targeting pedestrians.

3188
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:38,268
Just like a different category not sure

3189
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:42,680
if that is caught up in the data sets.

3190
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:43,680
That is something that needs to be

3191
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,668
addressed. These two examples are just

3192
01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:49,680
examples of how were trying to work

3193
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,668
public safety piece. You have had

3194
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:57,680
safety bus riding environment you want

3195
01:39:57,680 --> 01:39:58,680
people to come downtown to visit the

3196
01:39:58,680 --> 01:39:59,680
downtown businesses in all the points

3197
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:00,680
that (INAUDIBLE) on that. I just want

3198
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:03,668
to take the opportunity to introduce

3199
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:05,680
myself as a Councilmember here in

3200
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:06,680
Seattle but also to kinda echo what was

3201
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:09,680
just said and with that extra piece in

3202
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:13,680
terms of this data collection in terms

3203
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,680
of which is driving that pedestrian that

3204
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:18,680
. Those examples it is not additional

3205
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:19,680
loops, there's an accident for speeding

3206
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:22,668
or whatever. There is really public

3207
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:27,680
safety posture consideration that led

3208
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,668
to that on 99 and the targeting

3209
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:33,680
pedestrians by those two young people.

3210
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:34,680
Anyways, just want to put that out and

3211
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:35,680
also introduce myself but Kelly here in

3212
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,680
Seattle. I will get the next meeting

3213
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:41,680
with my colleague Rob down there in

3214
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,680
(INAUDIBLE) Avenue.

3215
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:48,680
>>Thank you, really appreciate your

3216
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:51,680
comments. We are running therefore it

3217
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:53,680
on time. Is there any other comments

3218
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:55,680
about Kelly's presentation on the plan

3219
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:57,680
going forward?

3220
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:05,668
>>I just wanted to reiterate Mayor

3221
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:09,680
Robinson 40 highlighting the pedestrian

3222
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,680
safety that is really important.

3223
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:17,680
Secretary Millar, I appreciate the

3224
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:18,680
highlights of I don't know what the

3225
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:22,868
term is.Is highlight them, and you think

3226
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:47,680
we have a TDM committee that needs

3227
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:51,868
regularly may be make my blood here but

3228
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:53,680
to the PDT really dig into that data. I

3229
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:54,680
think utilizing those organizations are

3230
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:55,680
over doing that work will be really

3231
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,668
helpful to again, just to reiterate

3232
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:04,680
(INAUDIBLE) Post Covid. Thank you for

3233
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,668
my colleagues for being those of.

3234
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:13,680
>>Thank you. Healthy discussion. I

3235
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:18,680
appreciate all the comments. Thank you

3236
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,680
Kelly, great job. Okay, we are now

3237
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,680
moving onto discussion item the

3238
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:30,680
regional centers monitoring scope of

3239
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:31,680
work and this is Maggie Moore.

3240
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,668
>>Today I'll be talking about our

3241
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:44,680
regional centers monitory and scope of

3242
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:48,868
work. And I have limited time but I'm

3243
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:53,680
going to hold some time for discussion

3244
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:57,680
at the and 40 group. So we are going to

3245
01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:58,680
go through the scope of work is

3246
01:42:58,680 --> 01:42:59,680
included in your packet if you want to

3247
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:00,680
follow along for that. The scope of

3248
01:43:00,680 --> 01:43:01,680
work over the next three years. And

3249
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:04,668
then, are located to provide any

3250
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:09,680
feedback and then also direction to

3251
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:10,680
proceed on this work. You don't have a

3252
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:11,680
formal action today but you looking for

3253
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:12,680
some agreement to move forward on this

3254
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:15,680
quote. You want to regional

3255
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:16,680
subcommittee in January on this as well

3256
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,680
as our growth management Baltimore in

3257
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,680
February. And that the corrections

3258
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:28,268
received from them at the time too.

3259
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:49,680
Original centers, I think they have

3260
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:50,680
been mentioning vote of the previous

3261
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:53,668
presentation but just taking a step

3262
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:55,680
back, these are key part of vision 2050

3263
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,680
and the regional growth strategy. They

3264
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:01,680
guy the regional growth allocations

3265
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:04,680
both population and jobs. Craig

3266
01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:07,680
mentioned and shows some chart

3267
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:09,680
measuring the growth in centers that

3268
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:11,680
are really looking at this allocations

3269
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:15,868
and how we are doing. It protects our

3270
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:20,680
rule of natural resources land with the

3271
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:21,680
allocation of girls and advanced local

3272
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:22,680
planning. There's a lot of work that

3273
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:23,680
goes in that. The local level around

3274
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:25,680
the centers. As well as informing

3275
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:28,680
transit service planning to priority

3276
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:31,668
areas and transit service and then

3277
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:34,680
priorities areas for PSR assisted our

3278
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:37,680
transportation funding. In a recent

3279
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:42,680
today, we are 13 original growth

3280
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:43,680
centers you may remember the latest one

3281
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:46,680
was vaccinated this past year Kirkland

3282
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:47,680
greater downtown. And then we have 10

3283
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:49,680
manufacturing industrial centers. 40

3284
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:50,680
centers altogether is read into those

3285
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:52,680
two categories. The regional growth

3286
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,680
Centers are central basis with mix of

3287
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:57,468
activities and transportation options.

3288
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:04,680
The manufacturing and industrial centers

3289
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:06,680
support employment growth and protect

3290
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:09,668
industrial areas. And also there is

3291
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:14,680
countywide and local center regions.

3292
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:17,680
This is important for growth and

3293
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:20,668
learning weight they don't have the

3294
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:24,680
same (INAUDIBLE) their designated in

3295
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:27,680
original " " You have our regional

3296
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:34,268
centers and has a well information of

3297
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:38,680
each individual center. As you can see

3298
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:40,680
here, Tocoma, downtown chose

3299
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:41,680
information on population and housing

3300
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:45,268
there's a lot of chart.The framework

3301
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:05,468
recognizes Hallmark region " " Federal

3302
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:19,680
funding. We also recognize that centers

3303
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:20,680
have been designated at different

3304
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:21,680
times. There's different plans that has

3305
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:24,680
gotten to all of our centers today. So

3306
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:28,680
it really is the purpose is to build

3307
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:29,680
consistencies around our regional

3308
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,680
centers. Both existing centers as well

3309
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:35,668
as designation of new centers. And

3310
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:39,680
enclose for this designation of new

3311
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:40,680
centers and redesignation of the

3312
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:42,680
existing centers in 2024 " 2025

3313
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:47,680
timeframe. That is really why am here

3314
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:49,680
talking through the scope of work we

3315
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:52,668
are doing. Page 45 of your packet.

3316
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:06,680
Looking at the outcomes from monitoring

3317
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:07,680
and redesignation over the next three

3318
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:08,680
years, we are looking to evaluate the

3319
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,680
success of the system of centers. So

3320
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:12,680
the region achieving the desired

3321
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:13,680
outcomes from the system? Does the

3322
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:15,680
region have the right numbers of

3323
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:16,680
centers? Any changes needed to the

3324
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:19,680
regional centers framework for future

3325
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:21,680
updates to vision 2015 to better

3326
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:22,680
achieve the desired outcomes for

3327
01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:24,680
centers. Also looking at considering

3328
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:27,680
the designation applications for new

3329
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:30,680
regional centers. Give us a new

3330
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,668
original centers to be designated. And

3331
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:40,680
confirming designation of existing

3332
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:41,680
centers would agree redesignation

3333
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:42,680
process is looking at our existing

3334
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:45,680
individual centers. Are they meeting

3335
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:46,680
criteria? And if not, how should the

3336
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:50,268
board address those centers?I just want

3337
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:55,680
to prep you for them, this line of text

3338
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:56,680
here but the gist of this are

3339
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:59,668
remeasuring the right things over the

3340
01:48:03,680 --> 01:48:05,680
next three years to successfully

3341
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,680
monitors our centers? No so looking for

3342
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:11,680
some direction to proceed on the scope

3343
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:14,680
of work. I'll bring this up again at

3344
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:15,680
the N. Looking at the timeline for the

3345
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:19,268
scope, 2024 is very at right now. Bring

3346
01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:21,680
the scope of this board and were going

3347
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:23,680
to start on our system monitoring data

3348
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,668
in collection. In 2025, we will open

3349
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:29,680
our window for applications of new

3350
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:33,268
centers and were also looking at our

3351
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:36,680
existing centers during that week

3352
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:37,680
designation process using creature

3353
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:40,680
reports to evaluate them. Franchises,

3354
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:42,680
we will be doing assistance monitory

3355
01:48:42,680 --> 01:48:45,680
refresh, there's some new data

3356
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:46,680
available then. We will be including

3357
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:48,680
that. Also I want to mention this time

3358
01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:51,668
is the process of local (INAUDIBLE)

3359
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,680
plan update on adoption certification

3360
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:58,268
not only will be " " Local staff are

3361
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:06,468
also doing a lot of work right now.This

3362
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:10,468
is happening 2024, building a

3363
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:15,680
monitoring report to see how our

3364
01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:16,680
centers doing comparison to the goals

3365
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:20,868
and outcomes we have for the center. In

3366
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,680
2026, we will do some of days to

3367
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:27,680
reflect this conference a plan updates

3368
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:28,680
there will be new growth targets

3369
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:31,668
associated with our centers and revise

3370
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:41,668
capacities and other data. Looking at

3371
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,680
growth in both population " " how

3372
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,668
people are getting around our centers,

3373
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:56,680
getting to them and what transit

3374
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:59,668
options are available there. And then,

3375
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:04,680
some urban form considerations, we are

3376
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:06,680
both from safety perspective that

3377
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:08,680
they talked about that also just walk

3378
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:12,268
ability and what people have access to

3379
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:17,680
if you are living in a center or

3380
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:20,668
(INAUDIBLE). And then, in 2025, we will

3381
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:24,680
open the call for application for the

3382
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:28,680
new centers. So this process will be

3383
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:32,680
initiated by the SRC to open a call but

3384
01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:33,680
local jurisdictions will apply with the

3385
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:37,268
center.Is RC staff overview for those

3386
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:41,680
applications and bring them to the

3387
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:44,668
board for designationI also know that

3388
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:49,680
they are currently working with our

3389
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:50,680
county wide to coordinate timing with

3390
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:51,680
this. And so this is really trying to

3391
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:53,680
answer the questions should any new

3392
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,680
original centers should be designated

3393
01:50:58,680 --> 01:50:59,680
or anyplace in the region that really

3394
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:02,680
elevates originals centers status.And

3395
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:10,680
then in 2025, we will also be focusing

3396
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:13,680
on our existing centers by developing

3397
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:16,680
criteria reports. Directly related to

3398
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:21,268
the criteria, we have four centers have

3399
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:24,680
see how individual (INAUDIBLE) see that

3400
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:28,268
creature. And how the board " " We will

3401
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:35,680
be working closely with local

3402
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:38,680
jurisdictions to make sure we are also

3403
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:39,680
giving this quality approach in

3404
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:43,680
addition to that quantity data to make

3405
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:44,680
sure we are telling the right story for

3406
01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:45,680
the centers and with recognizing the

3407
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:49,268
local planning that has been done.We

3408
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:56,680
did some scooping and 2023, we went to

3409
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:58,680
a number of SRC's committees and also

3410
01:51:58,680 --> 01:51:59,680
work with the red management policy

3411
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:03,680
board.This is to lay out the scope of

3412
01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:07,680
work and determine a lot of the data we

3413
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:10,680
are looking at. As well as the process

3414
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:13,668
and timing. As I mentioned, the

3415
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:16,468
February growth management board

3416
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:19,680
meeting, we are given direction to

3417
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:23,680
proceed on the scope of work.Is

3418
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:27,268
highlight a few of these things. We

3419
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:31,680
have heard a bit about the background

3420
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:34,680
and purpose Inc. to the scope. We work

3421
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:35,680
really talking about what our goals are

3422
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:37,680
here specially when it comes to

3423
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:39,468
redesignation of those existingCenters

3424
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:44,680
on what the process looks like. Also we

3425
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:47,680
provide opportunity to future changes

3426
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:52,680
to the framework. This process over the

3427
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:53,680
next two years are not planning 2000

3428
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:55,468
centers framework that recommendations

3429
01:52:58,680 --> 01:52:59,680
may come out of all this data

3430
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:00,680
monitoring doing for the future of this

3431
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:04,868
of the framework.For this is a monitory

3432
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:09,680
report, we got a lot of feedback and

3433
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:10,680
data we should be including a lot

3434
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,680
related to housing portability,Urban

3435
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:16,680
form considerations and we are working

3436
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:21,468
with the team to see what you can do

3437
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:28,680
for the centers. In terms of individual

3438
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:29,680
sinners, we need that qualitative

3439
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:30,680
approach special presenters who may not

3440
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:31,680
be meeting requirements, looking at

3441
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:32,680
trendlines that are not currently

3442
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:33,680
meeting their goals for density, what

3443
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:34,680
have they been moving into right

3444
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:38,268
direction to do so. Open up for

3445
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:51,668
discussion. This just a reminder, are

3446
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:56,680
we looking at the right things for the

3447
01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:57,680
scope of work to successfully monitor

3448
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,680
our centers? And then, looking for that

3449
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:03,668
direction to proceed. Those the Jeff

3450
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:08,680
Scoble work adequately covert needed

3451
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:09,680
steps for successful centers monitoring

3452
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:11,468
with designation? Any additional

3453
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:13,680
information that may be needed for

3454
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:15,680
successful monitoring of the system

3455
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:16,680
stars? And does the board agree PSR to

3456
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,680
staff should proceed on the scope of

3457
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:20,680
work for regional monitoring?

3458
01:54:20,680 --> 01:54:23,680
>>Will open it up for questions and

3459
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:25,680
comments.

3460
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:35,680
>>Is a continuation of this agency

3461
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:36,680
really being a leader in this around

3462
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:39,680
the country. On-the-job housing balance

3463
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:43,680
and monitoring jobs housing balance, we

3464
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:44,680
are doing a deeper dive than just

3465
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:46,468
employment, housing.Executive housing

3466
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:51,868
in Walmart job is not a job housing

3467
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:58,680
balance. Other than that, and happy to

3468
01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:00,680
see this happens.

3469
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:03,680
>>Thank you.

3470

>>Thank you, that's a question on the

3471
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,668
monitoring, we talk about monitoring is

3472
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:14,680
that including updating current

3473
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:15,680
information. Because of look at some of

3474
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,680

data is available but if using

3479
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:33,680
something specific, I'd like to talk
