Cost per Vehicle Mile Traveled The average cost to construct new capacity to accommodate (at a similar standard of service as today) new vehicle miles traveled (VMT) of demand. Cost of New Capacity Growth in VMT = Average Cost per VMT We can start working in this equation in a different order Cost of New Capacity = Cost per VMT x Growth in VMT Derived Derived Given 4

Infrastructure Mobility Fee Credit The current policy is NOT to provide Mobility Fee credits for requirements identified in the Land Development Procedure. (Section 5.8.0 in the Handbook) Option A) - If Infrastructure is identified in the Mobility Plan and also required as part of local review or the Land Dev Procedure. The Mobility Fee can be reduced by the anticipated cost to construct the identified project up to the value of the Mobility Fees that would have otherwise been paid. Option B) - Maintain existing rule. Requirements per local review and Land Development Procedures would be constructed in addition to paying for Mobility Fee. 9
Trip Credit Process Expedited: no trip reduction Trip Generation Effects (ITE guidance) use Citywide for any land use - Internal mix of uses (ITE & NCHRP 684) - Pass-by & Diverted trips - Existing uses Additional Considerations: Land Use Effects - Density bonuses (more able to use active modes, transit, shorter trips, etc.) - Adjacent land uses (regional internal trip making, shorter trips) - Income sensitive housing and other land uses with special or waived fees 10
Density Urbemis Reductions Compact development cannot reduce driving very much on its own, but we cannot reduce driving very much without it, If we are going to get people to drive less, we first need to make it possible to drive less. Compact development does that. A California planner, unidentified 11

Land use Focused Goals of Urbemis Density - Density drives most of the collective transportation benefits we are looking to achieve. - Overall less VMT is beneficial for congestion, emissions, energy, - Active modes (walking, biking, etc.) are more likely due to closer proximity of Generators of Trips and Attractions Multi-modal options - Proximity to land uses enables greater walking, biking (active modes), and proximity to transit to enable use of available transit 13
Other Fee Considerations Policy Incentives - Focused Mobility Fee reductions in specific locations in City for a myriad of reasons (i.e. encourage development, support public safety, etc.) Equality and Equity concerns Demographic adjustments, including housing sizes, income. - Trip adjustments based on the provision of a certain percentage of housing being offered below market rate (BMR) dwelling units. 14
