The format will be a short (20 minute) presentation on WTP 2035 followed by Q&amp;A<\/p>\n<p>Wondering what to say? Washington Bikes has a few high level recommendations included below.<\/p>\n<h3>Washington Bikes Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>WTP 2035 should include proposals more robust planning and data collection for non-motorized transportation<\/strong>. Washington Bikes recommends (1) updating the state bike\/ped plan; and (2) creating a robust data collection framework for biking and walking to better understand and assess relative safety in Washington&#8217;s transportation system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Background<\/span>: Washington state agencies focus resources and staffing to calculate vehicle crash rates by exposure (vehicle miles traveled), while injury and fatalities for bicyclists and pedestrians are compared to the population (deaths\/injuries per 100,000 population). The lack of comparable denominator data is troubling for public health and safety, as it prevents a valid comparison of the risk of bicycling, walking, and driving. Data suggest a dire need to address this problem: estimates suggest the US has a cyclist injury rate twenty times that of Denmark and The Netherlands and seven times Germany\u2019s. Similarly, WTP uses seven-year-old data from the outdated Washington State Bike\/Ped Plan that fails to reflect the huge changes in best practices and increased demand (and cost for system build out) for biking and walking facilities that we now see in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Washington\u2019s Transportation Plan needs to plan for all trips, not just commute trips. <\/strong>Washington Bike recommends expanding the concept of what trips matter and evaluating the potential to support and plan for non-commute trips in transportation planning.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Background<\/span>: Researchers have tracked <a href=\"http:\/\/daily.sightline.org\/blog_series\/dude-where-are-my-cars\/\">falling Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)<\/a> in recent years. While only 27% of VMT are commute-related, commutes are typically what is addressed in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fhwa.dot.gov\/policyinformation\/nhts.cfm\">transportation surveys<\/a>. Without knowing how (and why) people travel, it is difficult to appropriately fund an effective or efficient transportation system. Similarly, small trips of under 3 miles \u2013 ones that are ideal for walking and biking \u2013 comprise approximately 40% of trips but are often not commute trips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student transportation needs recognition in the WTP.<\/strong> <em>Washington Bikes recommends including planning for student transportation and Safe Routes to School in WTP 2035.<a href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_5118.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9258\" alt=\"IMG_5118\" src=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_5118-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_5118-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_5118-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_5118-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_5118.jpg 1045w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Background<\/span>: Pupil transportation of our state&#8217;s approximately one million children from kindergarten to 12th grade links to several state-level priorities. Student transportation issues factor in around highway safety (on the state highway system, almost 90 percent of all pedestrian and bicycle collisions occur within one mile of a school and 21 percent of those involve children ages 5 to 18), congestion (nationally, 10-14% of peak hour congestion is related to drop-offs and pick-ups of children), and the state&#8217;s general fund obligations for McCleary (annually state and local school districts spend almost $500 million annually on pupil transportation).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Biking and walking occurs statewide<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Washington Bikes Recommends ensuring that biking and walking planning and resources are considered viable transportation solutions statewide and not just limited to large urban metropolitan areas.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8837\" style=\"width: 179px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Riders-on-Bike-Ped-Bridge-by-Pybus_Wenatchee_07-08-14_forweb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8837\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8837\" alt=\"Bicycle riders on the bike\/pedestrian bridge that connects East Wenatchee to Wenatchee at Pybus Market.\" src=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Riders-on-Bike-Ped-Bridge-by-Pybus_Wenatchee_07-08-14_forweb-169x300.jpg\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Riders-on-Bike-Ped-Bridge-by-Pybus_Wenatchee_07-08-14_forweb-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Riders-on-Bike-Ped-Bridge-by-Pybus_Wenatchee_07-08-14_forweb.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8837\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Riders on the bike\/pedestrian bridge that connects East Wenatchee to Wenatchee at Pybus Market.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Background<\/span>: Think Seattle has the highest share of biking commuters in Washington state? Wrong. That designation goes to Ellensburg. Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. Biking and walking occur outside of large urban metropolitan areas, but WTP 2035 implies this is not the case. 3- and 5-year ACS data illustrate this in Ellensburg (22.9% walked and biked), Port Angeles (8.8% walked and biked), Bellingham (11.8% walked and biked), Colville (12% walked and biked), Pullman (24% walked and biked) and Walla Walla (13.1% walked and biked). These numbers often exceed the large metro areas in Washington state. WTP 2035 needs to recognize this fact.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Safety for those that bike and walk needs to be prioritized in Washington state<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>Washington Bikes Recommends that state transportation planning and the Washington Traffic Safety Commission\u2019s Target Zero plan need to reprioritize bicycle and pedestrian safety to effectively implement Governor Inslee\u2019s Results Washington goal of achieving zero pedestrian and bicycle deaths by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Background<\/span>: The emerging issue around safety in Washington state continues to be addressing the shortfalls a transportation system that does not accommodate those that walk and bike, thus creating safety and mobility concerns. Nationally, since 2009, fatalities have been increasing for those that walk and bike. In 2012, over 16% of all traffic-related fatalities were people on bike and foot. More biking and walking can lead to conflicts with other modes, but it also creates &#8220;safety in numbers&#8221;, which leads to more awareness of those that bike and walk and, ultimately, increased safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember, let the Commissioners know via email, meeting, or webinar by September 25, 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
