SCS Health & Equity Metrics August 2011 ‐ We look forward to further work on the TPAs – their environmental analyses and their community‐driven action plans, and how they incorporate all of the measures SACOG is collecting for the MTP/SCS as well as the suggestions made by our health‐focused organizations. Chapter 9: Financial Stewardship ‐ We appreciate the difficulty SACOG and counties, cities, and towns face with regard to financing maintenance and operations as well as capital projects. The detail provided about the replacement costs of transit and the labor costs of operations of transit are instructive, as well as the ways that transit operators can stretch the time of replacement due to decreased use of buses and other vehicles during the recession. ‐ Understandably, many investments are slated to be implemented more fully in the 2020 – 2035 time frame, rather than the 2012 – 2020 timeframe. In order for the region to begin realizing health benefits from the MTP/SCS as soon as possible, we urge SACOG to accelerate bike/ped improvements and phase public transit improvements with existing housing and job centers. ‐ We are gratified to see the sensitivity to fare increases for transit‐dependent people highlighted. ‐ SACOG has translated transportation system efficiencies (less road expansion, right‐sizing other capital efforts) into creative budgeting to allow for more public transit and complete streets infrastructure support. We agree that this will pay out in decreased VMT and increased active transport uptake. ‐ Seeing road safety infrastructure continue to be prioritized is important for the most direct health outcome of transportation systems: fatalities and injuries from collisions. ‐ We appreciate SACOG reporting out number of fatalities and injuries from collisions with vehicles, and reporting them out disaggregated by pedestrian, bicycle, truck, and auto. While we understand reporting of number of fatalities per 100 million VMT, it would be easier for the general public to digest if it were reported as a map of annual number of pedestrian and bicycle collisions (and severity of injury/fatality) per capita, per geographic area, by daytime population, and also to see the total number of vehicle, bike and pedestrian collisions per capita, broken down by severity: fatalities and injuries. ‐ Finally, we also suggest that SACOG create an expenditure category for safety. In doing this, SACOG would be able to track safety projects as well as their effectiveness, based on a geographic breakdown of injuries from collisions. We thank you for the opportunity to submit comments on the draft SACOG MTP/SCS. Again, we applaud SACOG for incorporating the consideration of public health into many of the decisions, analyses, and goals included in this MTP/SCS. The recommendations that we’ve included in this letter reflect the expertise of individuals and organizations around the state that specialize in health and equity, and we hope you will thoughtfully consider adopting many of them in the MTP/SCS itself, in monitoring its ‐12‐ Page 48 of 165
