TransportationCommission | 2017-07-26 | 4 | Staff Member Ott said the ticket would be the standard rate for parking violations around the city. Commissioner Bertken asked what the relation was between the Transportation Commission and the Citywide TMA Board. Staff Member Ott explained the role of the Transportation Commission as a citywide advisory body. She said the TMA will be an independent board that decides how to use their accumulated funds to reduce drive alone trips and meet our transportation goals. She said the TMA would report annually and be accountable to the city. Commissioner Vargas said that we should remember to plan for carpool, carshare, and autonomous vehicles. Commissioner Soules asked if the TMA has specific goals for seniors and the disabled. Staff Member Ott said that they do not specifically address that and are focused primarily on peak hour congestion issues, but will look at other areas as well. Commissioner Palmer asked if the TMA would be focusing at all on the car trips generated by the new development. Staff Member Ott said the TMA is focused on how to get people out of their cars, but the city considers vehicle capacity and congestion when planning new developments or changes in street designs. Commissioner Vargas suggested that the Transportation Commission agendas be shared with the TMA Board and that they be invited to listen and participate in meetings dealing with large projects in order to hear the dialogue from the community. Commissioner Soules asked what outreach channels have been used to get the word out about the Harbor Bay parking changes. She asked if the bus would be synched up with the elementary school dropoffs and still be able to make the 830am ferry. Staff Member Payne said the bus arrives at the ferry terminal at about 822am, which means the timing for school drop off is very tight. Staff Member Ott said they would continue to monitor the fine details and continue to report back on the results. Staff Member Payne explained the outreach that included press releases, flyers and person to person contact with ferry riders in recent months. 4 | TransportationCommission/2017-07-26.pdf |
