can
balance
Car
Other
Modes

11. The
Car…
• Has
a
designated
role
in
the
American
lifestyle
• Is
op:mized
for
the
present
infrastructure
• Has
innate
benefits
www.thealannote.com

12. Re-­‐think…
• The
streets
• The
modal
balance
• The
policies
• The
data
collected

13. What
Next?
Brainstorm

14. EVs
won’t
work…
• If
they’re
looked
at
individually
• EVs
work
when
complimented
with
other
mode
choices
and
correct
density/land
uses
www.thealannote.com

15. Pasadena
• The
City
of
Pasadena
currently
has
– The
Metro
Goldline
– Many
TOD
sta:on
sites
– Trip
Reduc:on
Ordinance
– ARTS
Bus
– EV
Charging
Sta:ons
– Suppor:ve
BIDs
– Pasadena
Sustainability

Team)

16. …to
become
EV
ready
• The
City
of
Pasadena
is
implemen:ng
– Bicycle
Master
Plan
– Complete
Streets
LOS
– Upgraded
ITS
– Streetcar
– EV
infrastructure
plan
www.thealannote.com

17. Bicycle
Master
Plan
• Will
inform
residents
the
best
routes
to
bike
• Set
clear
design
standards
for
bicycle
infrastructure
• Let
bicycling
become
more
predictable
and
a^rac:ve
for
casual
user
www.thealannote.com

18. Complete
Streets
LOS
• Go
beyond
assessing
level
of
service
for
cars
• Puts
the
car
on
the
back
burner
• Priori:zes
buses,
pedestrian,
bicyclist
• Creates
smarter
intersec:ons
and
more
balanced
streets
www.thealannote.com

19. Upgraded
ITS
• One
cannot
compute
the
LOS
of
new
modes
without
upgraded
infrastructure
to
get
accurate
inputs
• Will
priori:ze
bikes,
peds,
cars,
buses
once
LOS
is
determined
• Rebalance
the
streets
www.thealannote.com

20. Streetcar
• Fixed
route
transit
that
compliments
bus
and
light
rail
• Increases
density
• Fixed
route,
easy
to
predict
transporta:on
mode
that
integrates
with
bicyclist
• Economic
development
benefits
www.thealannote.com

21. EV
Infrastructure
Plan
• One
cannot
throw
charging
sta:ons
in
the
wind
• Strategic
and
coordinated
efforts
between
DOT
and
Public
Works
must
occur
to
ensure
safety,
effec:veness,
and
installa:on
• Once
EVs
are
established,
charging
sta:ons
can
act
as
business
catalyst
www.thealannote.com

22. There
is
not
an
EV
Ready
City
…in
America
• Sea^le,
WA
has
made
lots
of
noise
with
Ecotality
• San
Diego,
CA
is
on
board
• Richmond,
VA
is
finding
the
right
partners
• San
Fransisco,
CA
has
made
EVs
mainstream
www.thealannote.com

23. …but
none
• Has
:ed
it
together
to
ensure
that
EVs
are
an
op:on
and
not
a
primary
mode
• Pasadena
is
on
track
www.thealannote.com

24. What
does
it
take?
• A
new
perspec:ve
on
data
• A
new
set
of
policies
• Public
–
Private
Partnerships
• Correct
Demographics
• Correct
densi:es
• Correct
Land
Uses
www.thealannote.com

25. EV

26. If
all
of
this
doesn’t
happen…
• EVs
have
a
good
chance
of
becoming
a
commodity
vehicle
like
the
Neighborhood
Electric
Vehicles,
and
Segway
www.thealannote.com

27. If
that
happens…we
won’t
fix
any
mobility
problems
