The Polk Transportation Planning Organization's 2035 Mobility Vision Plan outlines strategic priorities for enhancing transit, highways, and non-motorized facilities through 2035. This plan prioritizes projects based on various criteria, including regional connectivity, demographic indicators, public input, and environmental sustainability. Key considerations include the anticipated productivity of routes and the effective allocation of financial resources. Public involvement is emphasized, featuring workshops and updates to ensure community engagement. The plan aims for cost-effective improvements while addressing growth and development needs.

Topics • Project Prioritization • Transit • Highways • Non-Motorized Facilities • Financial Resources • Public Outreach • Schedule
Eight Scoring Criteria address: • Previous Planning Efforts (2060 TVP, PTA Expansion Plan) • Regional Connectivity and Accessibility (Transit Centers/Park and Ride Lots) • Demographic and Socio-Economic Indicators (Transit Potential Areas) • Urban Form and Planned Growth (TSDA, TCCO) • Public Input Transit Evaluation Criteria & Scoring
Additional Considerations • PTA Plan represents first five years of cost affordable transit improvements • Subsequent phasing will be based on project ranking with the following considerations emphasized: • Anticipated route productivity (ridership) • Available projected revenues • Public input • Timing of growth – implement improvements in growth areas concurrent with anticipated development

Highway Project Prioritization – Non-SIS Roads • Based on Approved 2035 Goals & Objectives • Multi-Modal System Development • Environmental Sustainability • Regional Support • Freight & Goods Movement • Efficiency & Interconnectivity • Safety & Security • Public Input
Non-SIS Road Project Prioritization (cont’d) • Candidate projects evaluated by whether they would: • Complete or fill gap(s) in system • Connect directly to desired destinations or facilities • Be within specific designated areas • Address problems or enhance designated facilities • Satisfy need(s) expressed by public to date
Non-SIS Project Evaluation Criteria & Scoring Methodology (Cont’d.) • Environmental Screening GIS Tool Used to Evaluate Potential Degree of Effect on Natural & Man-Made Environment • Analyzed project impact within 500’ buffer • Scores based on # of features found or % of buffer area falling within: Wetland Areas Recreational Areas Wildlife & Habitat Areas Prime Farmlands Flood Hazard Areas Historic/Arch. Sites Special Areas (e.g. Green Swamp Contaminated Sites
Non-SIS Road Project Prioritization (cont’d) • Relative Weight (%) assigned to each category divided by maximum points for that category to arrive at weighted scores • Ranking based on weighted scores • Ranked project list divided into Tiers I, II and III
Total Funding = $1,668 M Total Project Cost Est. = $6,946 M Difference = ($5,278 M) DRAFT
Total Funding = $892 M Total Capital Cost Est. = $2,004 M Total Operating Cost Est.* = $998 M Difference = ($2,110 M) DRAFT * Assumes constant rate of growth in service & rail service starting in 2035
Next Steps: • Finalize project evaluation & rankings (still draft at this point) • Assign funding sources to candidate projects to determine cost feasibility • Break large projects into smaller segments • Confirm funding assumptions • Obtain and consider public input on project priorities
Public Involvement – Outreach • Website -www.2035mobilityvisionplan.org • Public Workshops • August/September • West, Central and East/Ridge • Updated Newsletter • Specific input on projects in the Plan
