City of Portland Metro By: By: Printed: Printed: Title: Title: Date: Date: Exhibit A – Scope of Work Project Description: 000 XX Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000 Metro Grant 938587 This project will develop a City of Portland Transportation Demand Management (TDM) commute program strategy focused on shifting single occupancy vehicles (SOV) commute trips to active or shared modes of transportation. Project development will happen in collaboration with Metro and Regional Travel Option partners. The commute program strategy will define roles and actions that build upon direction provided by the Portland Bureau of Transportation‘s (PBOT) TDM plan, Transportation System Plan, City Council direction, and regional partners. PBOT’s TDM Plan, “The Way to Go Plan: Moving People in Portland”, outlines nine strategic priority areas including “Employer Commute Programs”. This plan was developed through internal and external stakeholder meetings, including conversations with community-based organizations. The employer commute strategic area comes with three main objectives: • Work with employers to affect changes to workplace policies and benefits that encourage the use of transportation options. • Remove or reduce the provision of free parking at worksites. • Coordinate with statewide and regional Commute Trip Reduction efforts. This planning project will position PBOT to pursue these objectives in a coordination with the regional TDM commute framework. This planning project will yield a work plan comprised of TDM strategies organized by two timeframes: short-term (2 years) and long-term (3+ years). The short-term commute program strategy has a goal of designing a local TDM program that supports the upcoming changes from the Department of Environmental Quality’s update of the ECO Rule. PBOT will leverage the update to support employers in providing their employees with robust transportation options. As part of this project, we will conduct a series of partner conversations in order to reach consensus and clarity on each agency’s role in implementing the ECO Rule. The long-term commute program strategy has a goal of developing a commute program strategy that would build upon the activities implemented in the short-term strategy and incorporate City Council-directed action from the Pricing Options for Equitable Mobility final report. City council directed PBOT to develop a flexible commuter benefits program (parking cash-out) program that requires employers that provide free or subsidized parking to offer their employees that parking value in taxable cash income or alternative transportation benefits. One outcome of the long-term plan would be to identify phases that move us toward achieving this VMT-reducing objective. This planning project will allow us to develop a thoughtful commute program strategy that holds transportation justice and reducing carbon emissions as dual core values. A 2015 Harvard study found, the average commute times for Black commuters are 20% longer than white commuters and that a person’s commute time is the single biggest indicator to predict ability to escape poverty more than education or housing. This multi-agency planning and coordination effort around commute will move the City of Portland closer to our goals of reducing single-occupancy vehicle trips, increasing active travel modes and carpooling, and improving Portlanders’ quality of life-especially those who are most impacted by the time and money cost of commuting.

Project development will happen in collaboration with Metro staff and Regional Travel Option partners. The commute program strategy will define roles and actions that build upon direction provided by the Portland Bureau of Transportation‘s Transportation (PBOT) TDM plan, Transportation System Plan, City Council direction, Safe Routes to School (SRTS) staff will collaborate over three school years to develop a set of multimodal programs that serve students at elementary and regional partners. PBOT’s TDM Plan, “The Way to Go Plan: Moving People in Portland”, outlines nine strategic priority areas including “Employer Commute Programs”. This plan was developed through internal and external stakeholder meetings, including conversations with community-based organizations.

PBOT will leverage the update to support employers in providing their employees with robust transportation optionsmiddle school. As part of this projecta team, we will conduct a series create opportunities for students to develop transportation skills and confidence as part of partner conversations in order to reach consensus and clarity on each agency’s role in implementing the ECO Rule. The long-term commute program strategy has a goal of developing a commute program strategy that would build upon the activities implemented their ongoing education during their time in the shortdistrict. We will develop programs that build knowledge over time and can be delivered as part of required core curriculum standards. We are building an integrated district-term strategy and incorporate City Council-directed action from the Pricing Options for Equitable Mobility final report. City council directed PBOT to develop a flexible commuter benefits program (parking cash-out) centered K-8 program that requires employers that provide free or subsidized parking to offer their employees that parking value in taxable cash income or alternative transportation benefitscan be supported and augmented with City resources. One outcome Key elements of the longprogram include: • Delivery of a “train the trainer” model for key active transportation skills at elementary and middle school levels • Connected and community-centered after-school and summer programs • Development of expected learning outcomes and connections to curriculum and Oregon Department of Education standards Key program and project goals/expected outcomes: • Develop and document multimodal K-8 education opportunities for Parkrose School District • Support district core education goals for students through delivery of multimodal education and programs • Increase the number of families using active transportation to get to/from school and within their neighborhoods • Reduce vehicle trips to school campuses by shifting students to active modes or shared mobility options • Develop school district policy to support long term plan would leadership on SRTS within the district • Grow SUN Community Schools’ capacity to incorporate SRTS in their ongoing programming PROGRAM EVALUATION Data collection will be ongoing throughout the grant, but much of the analysis will take place at the end of the 3-year pilot. SRTS and Multimodal Literacy in Parkrose will be evaluated through a combination of program participant counts, surveys, and individual input.
