1. Sreenath Gangula, P.E., PTOE Washington State Department of Transportation 2015 Corridor Capacity Report WSDOT ways to communicating – multimodal state highway system – performance 1 TSM&O Performance Measures & Performance Management (PM2) Virtual Peer Exchange Series; November 12, 2015

2. 2 The 2015 Corridor Capacity Report (CCR) was created To help inform WSDOT policy makers, planners and engineers as they examine the multimodal capacity opportunities for state highways To support WSDOT’s Practical Solutions and performance-based planning initiatives To apprise the Legislature, stakeholders, educational and research institutions, the media, and the public about highway system conditions and how we can work together to reduce congestion Purpose of the report

3. 3 Interactive PDFs for the 2015 Corridor Capacity Report, the Appendix and WSDOT’s Handbook for Corridor Capacity Evaluation (and addendum) can be accessed online at: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Accountability/Congestion/2015.htmhttp://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Accountability/Congestion/2015.htm Ben-Franklin Council of Governments; C-Tran; Community Transit; Intercity Transit; King County Metro; Pierce Transit, Puget Sound Regional Council; Southwest Regional Transportation Council; Sound Transit; Southwest WA Regional Transportation Council, Spokane Regional Planning Council; Spokane Transit; Thurston Regional Planning Council; University of Washington ADDENDUM

4. “Puget Sound traffic congestion up 19% since recession” “More drivers, more gridlock, more delays” “Sitting in traffic, again? Blame Washington state’s rebounding economy” “WSDOT blames economic rebound for worsening congestion” “Commutes get longer (again) in latest state traffic report” “Traffic congestion on the rise in Clark County” “South Sound traffic congestion accelerates” “Commutes around the state generally getting worse” “Tech boom equals big traffic headaches and record congestion, according to new state report” 4
