The past 12 years have created successes and continued momentum for Rail~Volution, from the growing number of light rail systems to the increasing number of TODs, the renewed emphasis on community livability to the exploding interest in Streetcar to the mainstreaming of many of our ideas. What are our next challenges? How will our efforts address demographic changes, dwindling state and federal resources, and continually rising fuel prices? How can we make the next transportation bill, due in 2009, further our goal of creating more livable communities? Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and APTA Chair Bill Millar have more than a few thought-provoking and inspirational ideas to share with you on these critical issues.

William W. Millar, President, American Public Transportation Association, Washington, DC
Earl Blumenauer, 3rd District, Oregon, United States Congress, Washington, DC

This session is the essence of Rail~Volution — creating livable communities with transit. This introductory session will provide attendees with an overview of how rail transit can be a catalyst for creating more livable communities. Attendees will learn how communities have improved themselves by creating higher-density, mixed-use communities where a greater percentage of trips is on foot, bike or transit. The session will demonstrate how barriers such as parking and zoning codes can be overcome and how critics can be converted to supporters of livable communities. Included will be specific examples and real results that illustrate how these changes lead to more livable communities where people enjoy better health, diversity and increased property values.

TOD has become a widely accepted urban design typology, perhaps leading to a standardized, “safe” approach that needs to become more responsive to unique community needs. This session will consider how TOD can break out of the mold to respond to specific community needs and opportunities and how the design profession is helping to make this happen. Examples include urban TODs that are both affordable and well-designed, as well as TODs, that meet the needs of an increasingly senior population. These innovative markets are most successful when there are both a mix of uses and direct access to transit.

Hear experts discuss the future of transportation funding in advance of Next-TEA and how it could be restructured to engage the private sector and better meet infrastructure needs. The dust still hasn’t settled over the debate surrounding the Federal Transit Administration’s new Small Starts program, intended for projects requiring no more than $75 million from the FTA. If only those systems that provide time-savings for riders can rank high, and if the funding process is so costly and burdensome that it increases project costs, then what about transit for high-density urban environments (such as streetcars) that are slow and cheap and typically public-private partnerships? Has the federal process become too burdensome? And because SAFETEA-LU focused all on money, will the transportation trust fund run out?

Learn from national experts about how-and why-oil plays such a vital role in transportation systems and policies. Why are fuel prices continuing to rise, and why do they take such erratic swings? Why do the markets get skittish every time any oil producing country gets a cold? Are we running out of petroleum, or is something else to blame? And what are the implications for transit and the transportation industry? How does transit plan for higher oil prices? What role will alternative fuels play? How do we plan for natural and manmade crises? What are the policies and plans that states and local authorities need to put into place so that we reduce our dependency on fuel? These are questions that will be explored during this timely and topical session.

The Chicago area has released an ambitious plan to improve freight traffic flows while simultaneously boosting the economy and local communities. In 2000, all the Class I railroads in Chicago gathered to begin an ambitious planning effort to improve the flow of goods through the Chicago region. Six years later the CREATE (Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency Program) plan was the first freight rail initiative in U.S. history to receive designated federal funds. The plan”s multifaceted approach will address the movement of goods but also will improve the quality of life by enhancing public safety, improving passenger rail service, reducing motorist congestion, improving air quality and more.

Learn how some innovative metropolitan planning organizations are using their role as funding agency for transportation projects to provide incentives (and disincentives) that help push local governments to pursue transit-friendly, smart growth strategies. This session will feature innovative programs developed in the San Francisco Bay Area and the six-county Sacramento, California, region that provide considerable funding for transportation and housing projects that support more compact, mixed-use, pedestrianand transit-friendly development. In the San Francisco Bay Area the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s TOD policy aims to capitalize on investments in new transit corridors in the region by linking transportation funding to land-use decisions. The Sacramento Area Council of Governments developed a “preferred blueprint” for growth and followed up with a community design grant program expected to provide more than $500 million to local projects during the next 20 years.

See what lessons major disasters can provide in all communities. The aftermaths of Hurricane Katrina and September 11 have raised significant questions about rebuilding a community and about the relationship between land use and transportation. While many of us will never be forced to grapple with the level of daunting challenges facing the New Orleans area and New York City, we do need to address similar rebuilding on a smaller, more incremental scale. In this session, we will take a step back from the headlines and reflect on the community building lessons learned behind the scenes that could enrich how we integrate transportation and land use planning in our own communities.

Livable communities don’t happen by accident — instead, they occur as the result of careful plans, policies and deliberate actions. There is a direct link between regional and local land use decision-making and the success or failure of creating livable communities. Well-considered land-use policies can create the stage and foundation for profitable TOD projects. As a result, TOD projects that make good use of local land-use policies maximize economic potential. Learn more about this important continuum of community planning, where experts discuss how the building blocks of creating livable communities have been used judiciously and productively in their regions.

Hear practitioners discuss the most successful policies and programs for creating and preserving mixed-income, mixed-race TOD. TOD creates considerable value for communities, but the flip side is that market interest in TOD can gentrify neighborhoods and threaten affordable housing. As a result, cities are enacting policies early to preserve affordable housing before the market heats up. The Ford Foundation, Federal Transit Administration and HUD have funded the non-profit Center for Transit-Oriented Development to assess the magnitude of the demand and need for mixed-income housing near transit. CTOD recently completed listening sessions about the problems, strategies and opportunities in five cities.

Learn about financing, construction and planning innovations from the creators of successful streetcar projects around the country. Streetcars are creating a paradigm shift in the way transportation infrastructure is financed and constructed, as well as to the related partnerships. Because until now there has been no dedicated federal funding source for streetcars, the private sector has had to contribute to system construction and operations — much like in the early 1900s, when property owners and electric utilities financed the streetcar lines. Because businesses along the streetcar line are financial contributors, contractors are very careful about construction impacts (e.g., closing short sections of street for just a few weeks at a time). And because developers are active partners, planning for streetcar-oriented development and developer agreements assume heightened importance.
