Abstract:

Mosaic is Oregon’s value- and cost-informed transportation planning tool, developed by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). It is designed to evaluate multimodal investments and demand management strategies as part of complex corridor or transportation system plans. It supports decision making during the development, evaluation, and recommendation of solutions. The Mosaic tool offers two different methods for comparing benefits to costs. The first is a rigorous benefit-cost analysis. It incorporates the latest findings with respect to monetizing traditional user benefits and externalities, and it includes new or enhanced methods for estimating others. In addition to benefit-cost analysis, Mosaic offers an integrated method for scoring and weighing non-monetized indicators (multi-objective decision analysis). Because the tool is designed to measure the costs and benefits of transportation bundles that contain programs as well as projects, Mosaic includes a programs guide, covering eight subject areas: Bicycle and pedestrian, Equity, Land use and built environment, Operations/intelligent transportation systems (ITS), Pricing, Public transportation, Safety, and Transportation demand management. Each subject area includes a range of programs and a discussion of benefits and costs. This enables users to select, evaluate, and incorporate the programs best suited to their local conditions. The development of Mosaic is currently at the pilot testing stage, with completion planned for mid-2014. Results of the pilot, including recommendations for modifications or further enhancements, will provide a basis for ODOT’s decision making regarding Mosaic’s role in state, regional, and local transportation planning and programming in Oregon.
