Smart Mobility Place Types

• For classifying towns, cities and larger areas to
  identify an appropriate Smart Mobility Framework
• A basis for making investment, planning and
  management decisions that support smart mobility

Place Type Transitions

• Place types are tools for strategic
  decision-making about projects and programs that
  will support smart mobility as cities and towns
  change over time

15
Place Type Transitions

• Anchored Places. Ranking on the Smart Mobility
  factors may change somewhat but place type
  designation will not change.
• Transitional Places. Targeted for significant
  change that will result in a change in place type
  designation.

Place Type Transitions Implications for
Investments

• Anchored Places. Investment decisions emphasize
  enhancing Smart Mobility factors.
• Transitional Places. Investment emphasis is on
  supporting evolution to different place type with
  greater potential for Smart Mobility benefits.

Place Type Guidance

• For Each Place Type
• Smart Mobility Framework
• Relevance of Principles
• Key Activities
• Planning
• Transportation Projects Programs
• Development Conservation Projects Programs

25
Example Suburban Communities

• Framework
• Minimize creation of new places ranking low on
  both factors
• Transition suburban centers and corridors to
  close-in compact centers and corridors
• Create benefits for surrounding suburban areas

26
Example Guidance for Suburban Communities

• Planning Key Activities
• Identify centers and corridors that can be
  transformed into more location-efficient places.
• Prioritize locations to align with market
  potential and other community objectives.
• Identify near term opportunities to improve
  health and safety
• Identify opportunities to improve reliability
  through operational improvements

27
Example Guidance for Suburban Communities

• Likely transportation priorities
• Improving operational efficiency
• Improving connectivity
• Complete streets and safe routes to school
• Access management and speed management
• Commute transit service and rideshare promotion.

28
Example Guidance for Suburban Communities

• Likely land use development priorities
• Transit oriented development along high capacity
  transit corridors
• Strategic redevelopment of commercial corridors
  and dedicated use areas
• Complete community design elements for all new
  construction
