1. Transportation: Issues and Recommendations @GR2030

2. Transportation Goals @GR2030 Existing Buildings: 20% reduction of CO2 emissions from autos and freight below the current District average by 2020 with incremental targets, reaching a 50% reduction by 2030 New Buildings/ Major Renovations: 50% reduction of CO2 emissions from autos and freight below the current District average NOTE: Unlike buildings, there is no generally accepted 2030 District methodology for benchmarking or measuring transportation data

3. Case Study: Seattle @GR2030

4. Case Study: Seattle @GR2030 Average mode split study used to assess total CHG emissions within the district. Also used to assess low emission sources how to target 50% reductions. Creating a larger network for EV charging stations. Also working to ensure charging stations are utilizing clean energy sources. Working to provide more facilities to make bike travel easier. Things like storage facilities, showers, and changing rooms.

5. Case Study: Pittsburgh @GR2030 Undertaking broad community survey on transportation options Green Building Alliance partnering with 11 other community groups on survey Goal is to provide accurate data for 2030 District and other community group Launched in September; more than 20,000 completed surveys as of October 26

6. Building a transportation benchmark in GR @GR2030  American Community Survey U.S. Census gathers data on commuting (Journey to Work) Data available both for vehicle commuting and other transit modes  Grand Rapids 2009 GHG Inventory FTC&H produced 2009 Greenhouse Gas Inventory for the City of Grand Rapids Covers the whole City, not just downtown area Based on 2007 data  Ridership Data from the Rapid Annual Reports Silver Line Alternatives Analysis Laker Line Study  GGRBC Bicycle Traffic Counts Data back to 2011

7. Transportation Initiatives in Grand Rapids @GR2030  Existing Initiatives Rapid bus routes, DASH routes, van pools, and other offerings Active cycling community with Greater Grand Rapids Bicycle Coalition  GR Forward Includes focus on “21 st Century Mobility Strategy” Specific proposals include parking cash-out program, redesigning the DASH system, and pursuing alternative transportation options like bike share and car share  SpokeFly Private app-based bike sharing service launched in June 2015

8. Recommendations @GR2030  Data and benchmarking Collect available data and develop District transportation baseline  Integrate with existing initiatives Pursue partnerships with existing efforts, including with the Rapid, DRGI/ GR Forward, GGRBC, and others Allows GR 2030 District to leverage other resources and helps ensure development of data and strategies that serve multiple purposes  Establish Transportation Working Group
