Center for Accelerating Innovation Value Capture: Capitalizing on the Value Created by Transportation Promotes the use of value capture mechanisms as part of a mixed funding and innovative finance strategy to accelerate project delivery and provide equitable funding for sustainable transportation investments. 14

Center for Accelerating Innovation What is Value Capture? 2 Source: NCHRP Research Report 873 15

Center for Accelerating Innovation Example: Value Capture Funds Corridor Improvement Virginia Route 28 Transportation Improvement District § District formed in 1987 jointly by Loudon and Fairfax Counties § Maximum tax rate of $0. 20 per $100 of assessed value § Raises ~ $23 m in revenue § $138 m, 14 -mile widening from two to six lanes completed in 1991 § District and State share project costs 75/25 https: //www. fhwa. dot. gov/ipd/project_profiles/va_route 28. aspx 16

Center for Accelerating Innovation Virtual Public Involvement 3 Virtual Public Involvement is the use of digital technology to engage individuals or to visualize projects and plans. 17

Center for Accelerating Innovation Virtual Public Involvement Why change traditional approaches? • Low or inconsistent participation early on • Lack of diverse viewpoints among participants • Language and cultural barriers • Work, family, and social schedules • Expensive and time-consuming for agencies • Changing expectations of 21 st Century population But, this doesn’t mean the public isn’t interested in participating! 18

Center for Accelerating Innovation Virtual Public Involvement Tools 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Mobile Applications Project Visualizations Do-It-Yourself Videos Crowdsourcing Tools Virtual Town Halls Mapping Tools All-in-One Tools Digital Tools to Enhance In-Person Events 19

Center for Accelerating Innovation Project Bundling 3 Project bundling is a process by which a single contract award is used to contract for the preservation, rehabilitation, or replacement of multiple projects. 20

Center for Accelerating Innovation Project Bundling • Strategic to achieve agency goals; • Pro-active and not reactive, constantly looking for opportunities to bundle; • Decided early in the program planning and project development process to see the full benefits; • Continual, not a one-time activity, but becomes part of your project delivery decision making process. Bundling projects leverages project development expertise and achieves economies of scale. 21

Center for Accelerating Innovation Project Bundling Benefits • • • Maximize use of existing funding Utilize agency staff efficiently Maintain or improve performance measures Reduce cost Coordinate NEPA approvals Expedite project delivery Coordinate construction staging Take advantage of economies of scale Allow better financing opportunities Increase innovation opportunities 22

Center for Accelerating Innovation Reducing Rural Roadway Departures 4 The Mission Reducing the potential for serious injury and fatal roadway departure crashes on all public rural roads by increasing the systemic deployment of proved countermeasures. 23

Center for Accelerating Innovation What is a Roadway Departure (Rw. D)? FHWA Definition: A crash in which a vehicle crosses an edgeline, a center line, or otherwise leaves the traveled way. 2014 -16 Annual Average number of Rural Rw. D crashes is 197 for AZ 24
