City Proposes New Process to Evaluate Mobility Projects (UPDATED)

Posted on April 26, 2010

On April 29, the Austin City Council is set to consider adopting a new Project Prioritization Process for the city's mobility investments, developed as part of the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan. This new model allows the city to evaluate potential mobility projects based on how well they fulfill key community objectives, including:

• Efficiency
• Regional coordination
• Mobility choices
• Sustainable growth
• Investment and economic development
• Safety
• Environmental stewardship
• Neighborhood connectivity

The PPP's weighting of these objectives incorporates the feedback of Austin citizens, gathered in February and March during ASMP Mobility Forums and the ASMP online survey. The new PPP will be used to evaluate candidate projects for the proposed November 2010 bond package and potentially for future packages. The Citizens Task Force appointed to review proposals for the November 2010 package will also consider the PPP starting with its April 26 meeting.
