52 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 3. Does your agency use Federal funds for active transportation infrastructure that is a part of larger projects?
|
From page 53... ...
Survey Responses 53 4. In your agency, is information collected about active transportation investments when they are part of larger projects (e.g., facility type, estimated cost, location)
|
From page 54... ...
54 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 5. Who is responsible for tracking investments in active transportation carried out as part of larger projects?
|
From page 55... ...
Survey Responses 55 Other responses: • No one • Database staff • This is an "unclear responsibility" that we would ideally like to straighten out in the future, our ADA coordinator does not track all active transportation investments, but is very thorough when it involves projects with ADA components. Project managers and cost estimators are aware of estimated figures, but after construction the information isn't aggregated in an easily accessible fashion.

From page 56... ...
56 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 6. What types of information do you collect about these projects?
|
From page 57... ...
Survey Responses 57 Other responses: • We are required to report bikeway projects to the state legislature annually. There is a bill to add a new requirement to track pedestrian projects in this legislative session, so we'll probably be required to track similar pedestrian facilities in the future.

58 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 7. At what point(s)
|
From page 59... ...
Survey Responses 59 Other responses: • The facilities are documented at this time. They are not tracked.
|
From page 60... ...
60 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 8. If you track costs, how does your agency determine what percentage of a larger project cost can be attributed to the active transportation component?
|
From page 61... ...
Survey Responses 61 • All of the above - it depends on the project. • N/A, we do have unit costs for "concrete" which a portion would be for sidewalks, but the values are not hashed out cleanly.
|
From page 62... ...
62 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 9. If a roadway project requires the purchase of right-of-way, how is the cost for that purchase allocated to the project?
|
From page 63... ...
Survey Responses 63 • Cost is allocated to the entire project however this would be included in the calculation for 20% (does not mean the project will be cancelled or altered at greater than 20%, just gives designers/PM an out) • The cost is allocated to the portions of the project triggering the r/w requirement (e.g., if we're adding a turn lane and need to purchase r/w to rebuild the sidewalk along the wider cross section, ped/bike is not expected to pay for the r/w or the sidewalk costs; if r/w is required just to accommodate filling a sidewalk gap, ped/bike program pays for the r/w, access management, stormwater, etc.)

64 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 10. Is cost data stored in a searchable central database or is it only tracked and maintained at the project or district level?
|
From page 65... ...
Survey Responses 65 Other responses: • CHIMES is a central database used. Transport List collected unit prices, but not sum of AT facilities.

66 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 11. What are your agency's reasons and motivations for tracking active transportation investments as part of other transportation projects?
|
From page 67... ...
Survey Responses 67 Other responses: • ARDOT does not track active transportation investments. The facilities are documented in our design criteria during the design phase.
|
From page 68... ...
68 Measuring Investments in Active Transportation When Accomplished as Part of Other Projects 12. What challenges do you face in tracking and recording active transportation investments?
|
From page 69... ...
Survey Responses 69 Other responses: • We do not track this data. If assigned, multiple bureaus and personnel may pull the data but not in a conforming method to another district.

From page 71... ...
Survey Responses 71 14. Does your agency maintain active transportation order of magnitude cost estimates or cost ratios that are broadly accepted within the agency?
