Metro's Emerging Technology Strategy, Eliot Rose
- 1. Metro’s Emerging Technology Strategy Forth, March 21, 2018
- 3. 3 Transportation planning at Metro Cities, counties, and transit agencies figure out what transportation projects they want to build and estimate how much money they have to spend on them. Metro convenes people to decide on priorities, analyzes impacts on regional goals and available funding, and sets policies. Metro allocates certain state and federal funds to our partner agencies to implement the projects that work best for our region. We set aside some funding to run Metro grant programs.
- 4. 4 Emerging technologies AV/EV transit vehicles Microtransit Travel information and payment Automated vehicles (AVs) Car share Bike share Transportation network companies (TNCs) Connected vehicles (CVs) and infrastructure Electric vehicles (EVs) New data sources
- 6. 6 New benefits, new challenges The good The bad • More alternatives to driving alone in your own car • More ways to share trips • More efficient vehicles • Better mobility for all • Many involve driving alone in someone else’s car • More empty miles • Less use of transit, the most efficient way to travel • Luxury options that don’t work for everyone
- 7. 7 Technology changes everything! some things certainty about how people travel transportation revenues cost of trying something new importance of data role of private sector = our goals = importance of a well-functioning, well- maintained transportation system
- 8. 8 Let’s start preparing for tomorrow by working with the technologies that are available today. Microtransit Travel information and payment Car shareBike share Transportation network companies (TNCs) Electric vehicles (EVs)
- 9. 9 New mobility and transit: a codependent relationship New ways to connect to transit A more complete toolkit for people who want to live car-free Competition with transit More congestion
- 10. A few times a week 4% Several times a month 10% Rarely 22% 36% How are we using Uber and Lyft? 10 Over one-third of us occasionally take Uber and Lyft, mostly for short leisure trips. Monthly riders are more likely to be wealthy, male, young, and urban.
- 11. What would we do if we didn’t have a car available? 11 Total: 16% Low-income: 11% 2014 total: n/a Total: 29% Low-income: 42% 2014 total: 47%
- 12. 12 The next ten five two years Shared AVs will hit our streets. People will use TNCs more—and there will be more TNCs. Technology will advance without much public participation… Congestion will get worse as new choices conflict with current ones… Marginalized people and workers will fall farther behind… …or we help shape how the transportation system evolves …or we ensure that new technologies complement our current options …or we use technology to create a more fair and just transportation system
- 13. Next 5 years: AV pilot testing and continued growth in shared mobility 5-10 years: Shared AVs mixed with conventional vehicles 10-25 years: AV ownership increases, majority of vehicles on the road are AVs, some changes to streets and traffic 25+ years: Our streets and communities change dramatically How might technology develop? Graphic: RPA
- 14. •More new choices, but they don’t work for everyone / everywhere •Competition with transit •Decreasing account- ability •Increasing congestion •Transportation jobs are threatened •Congestion might increase or decline •AVs increase safety •Vehicles emit less pollution, but drive more miles •Transportation revenues decline •Communities have more space for people instead of vehicles, but sprawl increases How could it affect the region? Graphic: RPA
- 15. 15 The fully automated future
- 16. 16 The fully automated future
- 17. 17 Choices Provide shared options Support transit, biking, walking Equity Ensure tech is accessible for all Use tech to create more equitable communities Information Give people better info on options Use better data for planning Innovation Anticipate, learn from and adapt to tech Tech strategy policy priorities
- 18. 18 Setting ourselves up for future success If we tackle ________ today…. We prepare ourselves to take on ________ tomorrow. Equity Vibrant communities, congestion, choices Choices Vibrant communities, congestion, safety, environment, equity, health Information All our goals, especially stewardship and accountability Innovation All our goals, especially prosperity and stewardship
- 19. 19 Implementation tools Partnerships, education and outreach Grant-funded pilot projects Regulation and codes Data and data sharing agreements Pricing Street design Land use changes Near-term Longer term
Notes de l'éditeur
- Metro’s jurisdiction includes about 1.5 million people and 800,000 jobs in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. The agency's boundary encompasses Portland, Oregon and 24 other cities – from the Columbia River in the north to the bend of the Willamette River near Wilsonville, and from the foothills of the Coast Range near Forest Grove to the banks of the Sandy River at Troutdale. Does not include Vancouver, across state lines.
- …then we start the process all over again. This is a simplification. I think that what we do is really critical, because it’s the only chance that we get to take a collaborative, data-driven look at whether all these different local plans and projects add up to good outcomes. But we’re also limited in what we can do, because we don’t directly own, build, or operate the transportation system. We set policy that determines how some money (ODOT and the feds make other decisions on their own) will be spent and create our own programs to nudge planning in the right direction. We also play an important role in convening, outreach, and education. Over the short term, technology strategy will direct how we spend some of our grant funding. Over the long term, it will shape what type of projects we fund.
- Metro’s focus and terms here Includes new technologies – AV/EV/CVs, both passenger and transit vehicles …and new mobility services – TNCs, microtransit, car/bike share, travel info apps. Also need to think about managing data, which is increasingly as valuable as infrastructure in powering the transportation system.
- We know the changes wrought by technology on our transportation system will be big. We don’t really know whether they’ll be positive or negative. Don’t trust anyone who tells you that they have it figured out. We do know that the decisions that we make today will influence where we end up, and we need to chart a course toward techno-utopia. I’m not really interested in knowing what utopia might look like—I want to know how we start getting to utopia.
- We see a lot of potential in the technologies that are on the road today, and more with AVs, especially with respect to safety and system management Important to note that the bad (and some of the good) is already stuff we see happening today with TNCs. Likely to increase, esp. since TNCs are likely to be the first deployers of AVs Will talk about the equity issue throughout this presentation; it’s a big one.
- Things that don’t change: = our goals = the importance and cost of good streets = our responsibility to be good stewards
- These are things we repeat to ourselves a lot as we’re discussing this work.
- 14-42% of Uber/Lyft riders would have otherwise taken transit. 47-56% are shifting from modes that produce less congestion / emissions. More congestion, which affects buses and everyone else
- Metro conducts regular surveys of how people use different transportation options This time we focused on understanding TNC usage TNCs a daily travel option for few people Mostly used for occasional trips – airport, nightlife Occasional Uber/Lyft usage is the norm across all race/income groups—not for age. Hard to know what to think about equity right now—this is not a daily, regular travel option. Lots more stats available. 20% say they drive less
- We don’t need to look into too far into the future to know where to start.
- We don’t need to look into too far into the future to know where to start. VMT goes up, but sharing helps
- Better transit suffers less.
- We selected these because they are key to addressing the pressing issues discussed in the previous slide. Three of them focus on key goals, two focus on giving us the tools that we need to be effective given how transportation is evolving. Choices and equity are closely related. We know that marginalized communities are more likely to rely on transit, and benefit from sharing.
- The policies are important in and of themselves, but they are also key to addressing some of the challenges that we know are headed our way over the longer term.
- These support all of the work areas outlined. Pilot projects give us the chance to test new approaches to increasing choices and equity using emerging tech. Coordinating local governments in adopting TNC regulations—which only Portland has on the books but others are exploring—helps us ensure that new options are safe, equitable, and transparent, while creating a consistent regulatory environment that can draw more innovation to our region. Better tools and modeling directly provide better information, and enable us to better tackle choices, equity, prosperity, and innovation.
