CALL TO ORDER Chair Harshfield called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. The meeting was held remotely using MS Teams with a call-in number provided for the public. 2. CONSIDER MINUTES The May 3, 2023, meeting Minutes were unanimously approved. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A 4. HALL BLVD CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REPORT (CDR) Derek Abe and Philip Longenecker, consultants from Alta Planning and Design, gave a presentation on the project to develop a community vision for Hall Blvd. Their presentation focused on developing the Vision, Planning Context, Existing Conditions, State of Good Repair needs, the Hall Corridor Planning Process, and Proposed Improvements by corridor segment. The project area is divided into four segments including the North segment (Locust to Hwy 99W), Central segment (Hwy 99W to Omara), and South segment (Omara to Durham). Design considerations they looked at included the number of lanes, bike lanes, lighting, signage, street trees, stormwater facilities, crossing locations (new and existing), crossing and intersection type (protected, enhanced, signalized), path connections, and signals. There are right of way constraints through the corridor that require context-sensitive design solutions for all three sections. They encouraged members to submit comments on the report to Dave so he can collect and forward them. It will be presented to Council July 11. 5. TIEDEMAN/GREENBURG STUDY ALTERNATIVES Susan Wright, Caleb Cox, and Megan Mannion gave a presentation which included: Project Goals, Public Outreach, Tiedeman Avenue Cross Section, Cross Section Segments (Segment 1: Walnut St. to Fanno Creek Bridge, Segment 2: Fanno Creek Bridge to Tigard St., Segment 3: Tigard St. to North Dakota St.), and four alternatives for the Greenburg Rd./North Dakota St./Tiedeman Ave. area. The pros and cons for each of the alternatives were discussed. The preferred full cross section requires 55 feet of right of way in the corridor, but there are some properties that have not redeveloped and only have 40 feet of right of way. For Segment 1 the preference is to maintain the current on-street parking due to its proximity to the TIGARD TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE June 7, 2023 Page 2 of 2 school and trail, but also provide high-quality, safe, and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle facilities. A raised crosswalk is a possibility in this segment. Segment 2 has some right of way constraints. A 50 feet right of way option is being considered, but it may be necessary to reduce it to 46 feet by eliminating a sidewalk, or other design features on one side of the road. At the Tigard St./Tiedeman Ave. intersection six alternatives are under consideration. Members were encouraged to submit feedback through Dave and PDF versions of the presentation and handout will be sent via email. 6. TTAC MEMBER BIKE LANE GAPS (PHOTOS) Serge briefly reviewed the pictures included with the Agenda. 7. VISION ZERO SAFETY ACTION PLAN A document was included with the agenda packet that provides the best practices for developing a Vision Zero Policy for local agencies. Dave noted Tigard was awarded a $300,000 grant from the Federal Highway Administration to develop comprehensive traffic safety action plan. The Plan needs to be adopted to go after federal funding for capital projects. It will take coordination of a lot of departments. At least one TTAC member will be involved in that process. 8. UPDATES/INFO a) Bike Map Update - Due to time constraints this item was not discussed. b) Transportation CIP Scoring Tool – Alec handed out a scoring template and asked members to review and provide feedback. c) Move4May Debrief - Due to time constraints this item was not discussed, however an online survey will be created for input. 9.

Jul 17 2023 -Page 5 of 72 WCCC ZOOM MEETING PROTOCOL Meetings are being conducted using the Zoom online meeting application. This guide will walk you through the basic structure and etiquette for the Zoom meeting. There are two types of meeting participants: Panelists: • Committee members (or their designated alternates) and presenters (those normally seated around the table during an in-person meeting). • Panelists will have open speaking abilities. Please remember to keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking. • Please keep your video on during the meeting so those in attendance can see you. Should you need to step away, please make sure your microphone is muted and camera turned off temporarily. • If you are calling into the meeting on your phone, please ensure that your phone is muted until you have been called upon to speak. Please advise staff in advance if you phone in so we know to expect you and can promote you to a Panelist. • Please utilize the “Raise Your Hand” feature to indicate that you have a question or comment. You may need to open the “Participant” or “Reactions” panel on the bottom of your screen to access the raise hand feature, or you can just physically raise your hand/ask to be recognized. • If you are calling into the meeting, pressing *9 on your phone will notify the moderator that you have raised your hand. • If you are making a presentation, County staff will manage slide presentations, so please indicate verbally when it is time to advance to the next slide. Attendees: • The “audience members” of the meeting. • Attendees can see/hear but will not be visible. • Attendees are unable to speak during the meeting unless previously signed up for public comment period (see agenda). Zoom Etiquette: In virtual meetings, we are all responsible for a little extra attention to detail and awareness of our presence and participation ideals. Here are a few helpful reminders: • Remember that everyone can see what is behind you, so a professional background or blurring of your background is recommended. • Everything happening in your home/office and surrounding space is also audible to everyone in the meeting. Please mute your microphone unless you are actively speaking to minimize distraction. Fun fact: while muted, you can press and hold down your keyboard’s space bar to temporarily unmute yourself. • Some of us are more technologically savvy than others, so please respect each other’s learning curves. If someone appears to be speaking and is still muted, a simple “You’re muted, sir/ma’am” is sufficient. Questions/Support Chuck Schable (Washington County Information Technology Services) is our support person and contact for all questions related to Zoom. He can be reached via email at chuck_schable@washingtoncountyor.gov or by phone at 503-846-8183.

Jul 17 2023 - Consideration of WCCC Meeting Summary (5 MIN.)Page 7 of 72 Page 2 WCCC Meeting Summary May 15, 2023 1. Visitors Comments No comments 2. Introduction/Roll Call Stephen Roberts confirmed attendance. Several alternates attended in place of regular members , including Councilor Marsha Kirk from City of Banks, Councilor Ashley Hartmeier- Prigg from City of Beaverton and Council President Kristin Akervall from City of Wilsonville. 3. Action Items A. Consideration of WCCC Meeting Summary for April 17, 2023 A motion was made and seconded to approve the April 17, 2023 meeting summary as presented. Vote: The motion passed unanimously. B. R1ACT Nominations Chair Frank Bubenik asked for nominations for the two R1ACT member positions that will expire June 30, 2023. Separate motions were made and seconded to nominate Forest Grove Mayor Malynda Wenzl and Sherwood City Councilor Kim Young for the two open seats. Separate votes were taken. Vote: Both motions passed unanimously. Stephen Roberts noted the date of the June R1ACT meeting may change due to a conflict with the JPACT DC trip. We will be in contact with our R1ACT members as we get an updated date. 4. Information and Discussion A. Regional High Capacity Transit Strategy Update Ally Holmqvist, Metro, gave an overview presentation of the draft High Capacity Transit Strategy. Ally discussed the difference between Better Bus and High Capacity Transit: Better Bus includes less frequent local and regional bus lines and frequent bus lines (more than 15 minute headways) on medium volume corridors while High Capacity Transit includes very frequent bus lines (less than 15 minute headways) and bus rapid transit. Tier 3 and 4 priority corridors, such as Highway 99W, are not ready yet for high capacity transit but important to include in the overall vision and to position them for the further work and study needed to boost them in the future. There will be additional public review Agenda Item 3.A. Jul 17 2023 - Consideration of WCCC Meeting Summary (5 MIN.)Page 8 of 72 Page 3 WCCC Meeting Summary May 15, 2023 opportunities this summer before Metro Council considers adoption later in the fall along with the 2023 RTP. Discussion followed: Members expressed appreciation for the additional information about how corridors were tiered. Washington County could benefit from bus rapid transit because many bus lines are too slow going to job centers from the Beaverton transit center. Members expressed that Highway 99W should be a higher priority and asked whether it could be a candidate for Better Bus or for funding to complete actions to improve its chances for the next round. There was discussion about the difficulty of using current ridership to gauge demand when there isn’t robust transit in place to create ridership. Ally said that TriMet would look closely at Tier 3 and 4 corridors for Better Bus in their upcoming work. She also said Metro did do some analysis to look at potential transit demand as well as current ridership. High Capacity Transit needs a lot of destinations to work well and create ridership at all times of day, not just peak hours. Ally said examples of how to increase corridor readiness include land use actions to boost development potential and density to increase future ridership; local TSPs should ensure that cross sections have room for future transit, such as transit only lanes and multimodal features to enable people getting to transit safely and comfortably; freight network investments; improved community stability, such as actions to reduce displacement and a focus on affordable housing development; and local commitments to funding and robust partnerships. Council President Akervall asked if the plan includes potential improvements to WES service including the potential extension of WES to Salem. Ally said improvements to WES are included and the extension is included in their vision. B. JPACT DC Trip Planning, Priorities and Agenda Setting Erin Doyle, Washington County Senior Government Relations Manager, shared the upcoming JPACT DC trip details, including Washington County project priorities to help set the agenda for Washington County-specific meetings. Erin said the JPACT DC trip is planned for June 6-8. Summit Strategies, TriMet and Metro are planning the welcome meeting. The expectation is attendees will be meeting in the Capitol Welcome Center and delegates will come to attendees. On Wednesday, the group will be meeting with federal agency representatives to discuss funding key projects. Agreed upon regional transportation priorities will be the primary focus, such as TV Hwy transit investments and the 185th Ave MAX overcrossing project. Wednesday evening is typically a dinner for all Washington County attendees; please let Erin know if you want to be included in the reservation. Agenda Item 3.A. Jul 17 2023 - Consideration of WCCC Meeting Summary (5 MIN.)Page 9 of 72 Page 4 WCCC Meeting Summary May 15, 2023 On Thursday, the group will meet with the Washington County delegation to talk about Washington County-specific projects. Erin asked for feedback on projects that members want to discuss. She said we have the list of federal grant applications and congressional spending requests that was included in today’s packet and asked if there are other priorities to include. Mayor Callaway said the county is considering reducing MSTIP so everyone is worried about budget shortfalls on our proposed projects with that reduction and inflation. Should we be asking for funding to pay for these budget gaps. Erin said it’s always a good opportunity to ask for funding, however, its important to consider which projects makes sense to be federalized. As soon as you bring federal money to a project the overall project will cost more. Mayor Lenahan thanked Mayor Callway for bringing up MSTIP. North Plains has a potential MSTIP project under consideration to improve an intersection of a local road and county road and that also affects a railroad. North Plains would like to learn how to partner better with the railroad and get funding to improve that intersection. Erin said she is not sure if they will be able to set up a meeting with the Federal Railroad Administration, but she will look into it. Members brought up additional priorities, including funding for Council Creek as a regional corridor for future light rail in addition to a regional trail; funding for additional transit projects on Tier 3 and 4 corridors; Beaverton’s downtown loop; Highway 99W crossing improvements; 72nd Ave improvements; and a CFI electrification grant application co- sponsored by Tualatin, Tigard and Sherwood. Mayor Callaway said the Arizona Diamondbacks will be playing while the group is in DC and they are the parent team for the Hillsboro Hops. He said he is planning to attend the game. Councilor Rosenthal asked if other counties in the state are lobbying the federal delegation at the same time. Erin said we go separately as a region, and other agencies and counties also lobby at other times for other projects. This trip is specifically for our regional priorities. Erin expressed appreciation for all the information and said it would be helpful to craft the talking points for the meetings. Erin will share the itinerary as it gets finalized. Please share contact information with Erin of anyone attending. Erin and Stephen Roberts are both attending and can help support members of the group. C. JPACT Agenda Mayor Callaway gave an overview of the JPACT agenda. He said he would take what he heard about the High Capacity Transit Strategy to the JPACT meeting. TPAC representatives Gregg Snyder and Mike McCarthy reported that TPAC supported the “Package E” option for the Carbon Reduction Program funding allocation, which directed funding to established Agenda Item 3.A. Jul 17 2023 - Consideration of WCCC Meeting Summary (5 MIN.)Page 10 of 72 Page 5 WCCC Meeting Summary May 15, 2023 TSMO (transportation systems management and operations) programs designed to help maximize the safety and efficiency of the existing transportation system. May 18 JPACT topics include: • Action to adopt the Metro Unified Planning Work Program • Action to approve the Carbon Reduction Program funding allocation • High Capacity Transit Strategy Update • 2023 RTP: Project list input and draft system analysis D. MPAC Agenda Mayor Rosener gave an overview of the upcoming May 24 MPAC agenda. At the previous meeting, the RTP and the 2040 Planning and Development grant program were discussed. May 24 MPAC topics include: • Update on Oregon Housing Needs Analysis • High Capacity Transit Strategy update • 2023 RTP: Project list input and draft system analysis 5. Other Business and Agency Updates Stephen Roberts gave an update on MSTIP, summarized below: County staff continue working through challenges with cost escalation. A number of significant MSTIP-funded projects are in construction now. In a memo included in the February WCCC meeting packet, staff looked back at projects selected through the MSTIP 3d (2012) and 3e (2016) funding allocation cycles that are not yet complete. At that time, staff estimated an approximate $70 million difference between planning level cost estimates developed in those prior funding allocation processes and recently updated cost estimates, due primarily to ongoing rapid cost escalation. In addition to cost escalation challenges, the county’s proposed FY 2023-24 budget includes a 7% reduction in the annual transfer from the county General Fund to the MSTIP program (approximately $3.5M reduction). However, cost escalation is by far the larger challenge. Based on two recent project bids, we are updating project cost estimates again and believe the difference will be even higher than estimated in February. County staff will be checking in with city staff about priority projects and project scopes and timing for 3d and 3e projects. We are also looking at grants and other funding sources to help address the funding gap. The funding allocation process for future projects (MSTIP 23-28) is tabled for now while we determine how to move forward with previously selected projects. Future project prioritization will be rolled into a new capital improvement planning process for the county. This is different for us because the county has historically taken a funding-based approach (picking projects based on available funding rather than determining highest-priority projects and then determining how to fund them). We will be considering a mix of funding and financing strategies for projects that will be included in our capital improvement plan. Agenda Item 3.A. Jul 17 2023 - Consideration of WCCC Meeting Summary (5 MIN.)Page 11 of 72 Page 6 WCCC Meeting Summary May 15, 2023 Members asked if the 7% budget reduction would affect projects currently under construction. Stephen said active construction projects will continue. Staff will be reviewing scopes for projects that have not moved into the construction phase. County staff will work closely with cities prior to making any scope changes for projects that were previously allocated. Members asked about future MSTIP funding and whether this will be an ongoing discussion. Stephen said MSTIP is funded by the county’s General Fund, and use of those funds is determined by the Board of County Commissioners. Previous Boards have historically maintained a significant General Fund transfer to MSTIP proportionate with the MSTIP levy in effect when Measure 50 took effect in the late 1990s. However, there is ongoing pressure on the county’s General Fund, so there will be ongoing discussions about how various community needs, including transportation projects, will be funded. Stephen noted the library system (WCCLS) is also partially funded by a General Fund transfer and is affected by a proposed 7% General Fund reduction. WCCLS is having similar discussions about managing increasing costs with reduced funding. Multiple members expressed MSTIP funding should continue and be used only for transportation projects consistent with MSTIP criteria. Some also felt the county should consider bonding against future revenues again to fund transportation projects. Members shared other updates: Chair Bubenik said RTAC (Regional Toll Advisory Committee) will continue to meet even though tolling will be paused per the Governor’s order. The RTAC meeting next week will go over feedback on the I-205 environmental assessment. Commissioner Fai said the STRAC (Statewide Tolling Rulemaking Advisory Committee) will also meet this month and will learn more about how the process may change. John Serra, TriMet, shared that lines 48, 52 and 54 have been upgraded to frequent service. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m. ________________________ Stephen Roberts, Secretary Washington County Coordinating Committee Agenda Item 3.A.

The list is referred to as the “nexus” projects list, and staff heard from ODOT that projects on the list should complement I-5 and I-205 tolling (e.g. the Regional Mobility Pricing Project in addition to the I-205 Toll Project). Regional partner staff (from Washington County, Clackamas County, Multnomah County, City of Portland, TriMet, Metro and the Port of Portland) met to discuss mutual concerns with this approach and drafted a memo to ODOT in advance of the June 26 RTAC meeting that outlined several fundamental questions with the approach. The memo is attached here for your reference. At the June 26 RTAC meeting, members discussed the nexus projects approach. While there are not clear answers yet to many of the questions in the regional partner staff memo, ODOT staff made it clear they will continue with this approach due to deadlines assigned by the Governor’s Office to have a more detailed plan by the end of the year. The current schedule has the call for projects open from July 31 – September 4. We will continue to coordinate with our regional partners to advocate for more details about prioritization, funding options, and potential toll revenue sharing to complete projects over time. Here is the proposed process and timeline to develop the nexus project list (from the June 26 RTAC meeting packet): Agenda Item 4.B. Jul 17 2023 - Tolling Nexus Project List Development (20 MIN.) Purpose: ...Page 46 of 72 Page 2 Potential Tolling “Nexus” Project List Update & Discussion July 10, 2023 Department of Land Use & Transportation • Planning and Development Services 155 N First Avenue, Suite 350, MS 12, Hillsboro, OR 97124-3072 503-846-4530 • www.washingtoncountyor.gov/lut With the short timeframe in mind, we want to begin this discussion with you to provide input to ODOT on the draft nexus projects process, possible selection criteria and to start building a Washington County nexus projects list over the next six weeks. ODOT is asking for RTAC members’ input into the draft nexus project definition and proposed selection criteria. ODOT provided the draft nexus project definition, project selection criteria and corridor definition below for RTAC consideration. Draft Nexus Project definition: Nexus projects are roadway, bike, pedestrian or other mobility projects or programs that could complement a tolling system on I-5 and I-205 in the Portland Metropolitan area by: • Addressing an anticipated negative impact OR improving access to public transportation OR improving mobility options near the tolled highway, AND • Providing access to opportunity or addresses transportation related disparities and barriers experienced by the Toll Projects’ Equity Framework Communities. Possible Nexus Project selection criteria: • Project readiness. Included in regional transportation plan or a local plan, early planning conducted, public engagement conducted, and/or completeness of project design. • Safety. Addresses a safety need. • Traffic operations. Improves reliability and supports congestion relief. • Urgency of need. Addresses essential repair or provides a critical connection. • Climate. Contributes to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. • Transit. Connects to/expands access to public transportation or complements a Public Transportation Strategy project and/or supportive service. • Benefits. Provides benefits to the community, economy, and environment. • Ownership. Proposer owns facility or has knowledge of owner support. • Geography. Located within impacted corridor as defined by Oregon Highway Plan or in a Metro Mobility Corridor • Funding. Leverages existing or future funding opportunities (local, federal or other state). • Project cost. Project development, construction and maintenance. Corridor definition: Provided by ODOT in June 26 RTAC memo: The “corridor,” defined as the immediate area of impact adjacent to the priced facility, generally within 1 mile or as defined through the project-specific analysis as being impacted by the project. Additionally, the corridor is limited to facilities that generally move traffic in the same directions. Oregon Highway Plan – Policy Amendment 2022 (Tolling). Goal 6: Tolling and Congestion Pricing.

Do you have any suggested edits or questions? • Do you agree with the proposed selection criteria? Are there any that should be added or deleted? Potential nexus projects: Do you have ideas for potential nexus projects? Note that ODOT has said that nexus projects are generally in addition to projects likely to be required for NEPA mitigation. • Partner jurisdiction planning staff memo re: staff recommended questions to discuss at the June 26, 2023 RTAC meeting, 6/23/23 • RTAC Nexus Projects: Draft definition, screening criteria, and process for project selection memo to RTAC, 6/20/23 Agenda Item 4.B.

Purpose: ...Page 48 of 72 1 Date: Friday, June 23, 2023 To: Kirstin Beale and David Kim, RTAC Facilitation Team From: Partner jurisdiction planning staff Subject: Staff recommended questions to discuss at the June 23, 2023 RTAC meeting Thank you for the opportunity to provide questions and comments about the proposed nexus project list. We acknowledge this will be a time intensive and sensitive effort. A realistic project list would need to include updated cost estimates and other information such as construction risk, environmental concerns, equity concerns and whether any design work has already been completed. The list would also require input from local elected bodies and county coordinating committees to ensure all potentially affected local jurisdictions have an opportunity to weigh in. Regional partners, including technical staff at Metro, local jurisdictions & agency partners, and the three counties have discussed the proposed approach and have compiled a series of questions and concerns we would like ODOT to address prior to considering development of a list of proposed nexus projects. These questions are listed below. Fundamental questions • What is the purpose of this proposed nexus projects list? • Why does ODOT need a proposed nexus projects list now and under such an abbreviated time frame? • What is the relationship between the nexus project list and the Public Transportation Strategylist?  • Who would be the body to determine the priority of proposed nexus projects? • When and how will we know if toll revenues will cover the cost of the proposed projects? • If toll revenue will not cover most or all the cost of nexus projects, would the state be seeking alternative revenue sources using the cost estimates of a nexus project list? If so, what would those revenue sources be? • If this process would create a list of projects critical to the success of the toll program, how would toll program revenue be allocated and how will both the nexus projects and the PTS list be incorporated into revenue decisions? • When will RTAC discuss the programmatic and/or jurisdictional allocation of both near term and future toll/congestion pricing revenue? In addition to the shared questions above, Portland City Commissioner Mingus Mapps articulated several recommendations in a letter to RTAC members on June 2, 2023. His comments are included here for reference. We look forward to a discussion of these comments, as well as the fundamental questions listed above, at the June 26 RTAC meeting. Agenda Item 4.B. Jul 17 2023 - Tolling Nexus Project List Development (20 MIN.) Purpose: ...Page 49 of 72 RTAC QUESTIONS 06/23/2023 2 Commissioner Mapps comments from June 2, 2023 letter to Director Strickler and Brendan Finn • Extend the timeline for the Regional Toll Advisory Committee to January 2026. • Create a connection between RTAC, the OTC and the special legislative subcommittee so that regional stakeholder concerns and interests are accurately represented. • Share estimated toll revenue projections and other finance plan information with RTAC in advance of submitting the finance plan to the Governor. • Align both the Public Transportation Strategy and RTAC project list development timeline with the RMPP so that regional modeling results and analysis can inform project selection and prioritization. • Commit a portion of toll revenue to address toll-related traffic, safety, climate, and equity impacts to local roadways and transit, bicycle, and pedestrian investments with a nexus to tolling.

Purpose: ...Page 50 of 72 www.OregonTolling.org Page 1 Memorandum Date 6/20/23 To Regional Toll Advisory Committee Members From ODOT Project Team Subject RTAC Nexus Projects: Draft definition, screening criteria, and process for project selection At the June 26 meeting of the Regional Toll Advisory Committee (RTAC), members will discuss key steps to develop a list of priority roadway, pedestrian, bicycle, or other projects to complement a tolling system in the Portland metropolitan area. A draft definition for “nexus” projects and possible selection criteria have been compiled to initiate discussion. The ideas contained were based on the following: • RTAC adopted charter “factors” for consideration • Adopted Public Transportation Strategy (PTS) screening criteria and process • ODOT Great Streets Program selection criteria, which was suggested by an RTAC member • Results of office hours and member feedback Nexus Project Definition Nexus projects are roadway, bike, pedestrian or other mobility projects or programs that could complement a tolling system on I-5 and I-205 in the Portland metropolitan area by: • Addressing an anticipated negative impact, OR improving access to public transportation, OR improving mobility options near the tolled highway, AND • Providing access to opportunity or addressing transportation-related disparities and barriers experienced by the Toll Projects’ Equity Framework communities.1 Selection Criteria Examples • Project readiness. Included in regional transportation plan or a local plan, early planning conducted, public engagement conducted, and/or completeness of project design. • Safety. Addresses a safety need. 1 See definition on page 1 of the Equity Framework adopted by the Equity and Mobility Advisory Committee: people experiencing low-income or economic disadvantage; Black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC); older adults and children; persons who speak non-English languages, especially those with limited English proficiency; persons living with a disability; and, other populations and communities historically excluded and underserved by transportation projects.
