Software Principals

• Open Source (copyleft)

• Modular, Extensible, Scalable

• Aim for Continuous Integration

• Cloud-based

• Python 3 + associated models

Analysis Design

• Bottom-up, sector-based approach

• Spatially Explicit (Boston)• Limited by geographic boundary

• Compatible with existing frameworks (e.g. GPC)

• Use scenario narratives to contextualize uncertainty

• Incentivize adoption of alternative fuel vehicles (use of public transit lanes, free parking, exemption from taxation, feebates)

• Establish taxes/fees on fossil-fuel vehicles (at purchase and/or registration)

• Establish congestion/climate taxes on fossil-fuel vehicles in designated areas

• Set taxes on gasoline/petroleum purchase

• Convert public transit, government fleets, and taxi fleets to no- to low-carbon energy (electric, hybrid, natural gas, hydrogen)

• Invest in infrastructure for low- to no-carbon mobility: electric vehicle charging, hydrogen, fuel cell infrastructure (including incentives for real estate owners to install charging stations)

• Improve bicycle infrastructure

• Improve bus infrastructure

• Improve pedestrian infrastructure

• Expand Travel Demand Management in public and private sectors

• Invest in new public transit capacity (modernization, expansion), choices (e.g., streetcars, light rail lines), reliability, speed, quality, accessibility, convenience, way-finding, and reduced waiting times)

• Establish regional congestion pricing (variably priced lanes, variable tolls on entire roadways, cordon charges, area-wide charges, vehicle-miles-traveled fee, variably priced ramps)

• Institute new parking pricing models (performance-based parking, off-street parking tax, dynamic pricing, variable market rate on-street pricing, unbundle parking costs from the rent or sale price)

• Promote carpooling, ride-sharing, car-sharing, and High Occupancy Vehicle lanes

• Various strategies to improve efficiency in freight transport

25

General:• Is the overall model appropriately conceptualized?• Are there important activities or issues that fall through the cracks?

Transportation:• Is the technology and and sector segmentation complete/appropriate?• What assumptions should we make about the future of public transportation in Boston?• What assumptions should we make about taxi and carshare fleet growth?• What assumptions should we make about municipal, state, and transit agency fleet vehicle technology as

the "base case"?

26

• What stage of process is optimal for next meeting?

• What additional information can we provide?
