9. Beyond Borders
"Addressing issues like air pollution and traffic
congestion often requires coordinating across
jurisdictionsโฆ As metropolitan areas growโฆ
traditional jurisdictional boundaries are becoming
blurred. This increases the impetus for regional
cooperation across planning agencies to address
issues that do not stop at state or county lines.โ

PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING
โข Published on May 27, 2016
โข Performance-based planning and programming
increases accountability and transparency and
offers a framework to support improved
investment decision-making by focusing on
performance outcomes for national
transportation goals.

39. Mobility Network Providers and Low, Medium
and High Density Urban Environments
โข High density: Option instead of transit โ moving goods, lack direct
route, convenience, complement to rapid transit for first and last mile
โข Medium density: Uber, Lyft and Bridj type services have great
potential to drive users to transit with first and last mile or two
barrier issues, limited pedestrian access to rapid and regular route
transit, transit on demand complement or replacement
โข Low density: Mobility network providers as possible replacement for
low volume routes, for transit on demand replacement
40. Mobility Network Providers and Transit
โข IT Common interface: Transit app, Google maps, others โ options of
walking, biking, rapid transit, fixed route transit, mobility network
provides (e.g. Uber, Lyft, Bridj) as a single or shared ride
โข Number one destination of mobility network provider trips is a rapid
transit station
โข Next: Trip and fare integration
