Our Region: Past, Present and Future

October 13, 2016Slide2

Welcome

Dan Piepszowski

Detroit Regional ChamberSlide3

Taking a Pulse – The State of Regionalism

Conan Smith

Michigan MattersSlide4

BECOMING A REGION

Over the past 15 years, despite (and often because of ) economic strife, southeast Michigan’s counties have come together on major projects that declare metro Detroit as a very different – more collaborative – place in the 21

st

century.Slide5

BUILDING BLOCKS: THE ZOO

Detroit Zoological Society | Detroit City | Regional Funders

INABILITY TO PAY

As part of budget cuts in 2006, Detroit City Council voted to close down the Zoo having failed to negotiate a viable long-term management arrangement.

EVERYONE STEPS UP

Between 2006 and 2008, the City transferred operations to the Society, the Legislature provided $4M and the region voted in a tax to ensure ongoing support.Slide6

BUILDING BLOCKS: COBO HALL

Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority

DECLINE OF AN ESSENTIAL ASSET

Detroit’s fiscal challenges managing

Cobo

lead to threats of the Auto Show leaving Detroit and of an alternative facility being developed in Oakland.

THE LEGISLATURE STEPS IN

In 2009 with the support of the political “Big 4” the Michigan Legislature creates a regional authority to govern and finance

Cobo

Hall.Slide7

BUILDING BLOCKS: ART

The Detroit Institute of Arts, Inc.

PUTTING A PRICE ON ART

At one point, 70% of the DIA’s funding came from the State, but the legislature failed to see the importance of this asset to Michigan’s culture and history.

PHILANTHROPY AND CITIZENSHIP

In 2012, voters in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb agreed to a 10-year tax to fund the museum, and in 2014 ownership was transferred to a nonprofit.Slide8

BUILDING BLOCKS: TRANSIT

The Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan

BROKEN AT THE BORDERS

With 450,000 commuters crossing county borders daily, the region consistently faced calls for a better system.

SUCCESS IN GOVERNANCE. FUNDING . . .?

After 24 attempts and 40 years of trying, in 2012 the Legislature created a regional transit authority, but funding it is up to area voters in 2016.Slide9

Coming together is a beginning.

Keeping together is progress.

Working together is success

.

- Henry FordSlide10

EQUITY IS THE REGION’S MAJOR CHALLENGE

Metro Detroit’s Drivers

THE WORLD IS URBANIZING

66% of the US population and 75% of our GDP come from the 100 largest metros.

BUT INEQUALITY IS GROWING

Ecorse residents pay 15% of their income to local government . . . in Royal Oak it’s just 5%

SO OUR SOLUTIONS MUST BE REGIONAL

Equity and prosperity derive from a combination of collaboration and friendly competition – a recognition of our shared destiny.Slide11

FINDING SPACE FOR FINANCE REFORMS

WHO HAS THE REGION’S

HIGHEST TAX RATE?

At 82 mills, River Rouge ranks highest, while tiny Lake Angelus is lowest at 32. Detroit charges 68 mills, 4

th

highest in the region. Slide12

FINDING SPACE FOR FINANCE REFORMS

WHO PAYS THE MOST TAXES

FOR CITY GOVERNMENT?

On average, Birmingham residents pay $16,643 yearly while Pontiac residents pay $1,250. Detroiters average $2,076.Slide13

FINDING SPACE FOR FINANCE REFORMS

IS DETROIT’S TAX

BURDEN TOO HIGH?

At 7.7% of median household income, Detroit’s tax burden is just above average for the region.Slide14

HOW WE GET THERE: METROPOLITANISM

In exploring new models for government engagement, we discover opportunities to improve our collective quality of life. Overcoming our current segregation takes a breed of leaders who can see beyond politics and borders. Slide15

NEGOTIATING IN THE METROPOLITAN SPACESlide16

Making the Case for Regional Transit

Michael Ford

Regional Transit Authority of Southeast MichiganSlide18

Regional Master Transit PlanSlide19

The purpose of the RTA is to plan for and coordinate public transportation in the four-county region of Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw and Macomb Counties including the City of Detroit

RTA’s mission is to manage and secure transportation resources that significantly enhance mobility options, to improve quality of life for the residents and to increase economic viability for the region.Slide20

RTA was created because transit in SE Michigan is disconnected, infrequent & leaves thousands of residents with no service

Metro Detroit is the nation’s most sprawled job market

92% of jobs are not accessible within 60 minutes on transit Slide21

The World Is Changing….

“Communities, regions, and states are in a global competition to attract & retain a talented & productive workforce. Increasingly these talented workers are choosing where they want to live first & then figuring out their work situation later.” CEOs for Cities Slide22

Businesses locate where Talent wants to live, and

These Talented Workers Want Transit……

“….

Millenials

more concerned

with the ease of their commute and

the proximity of public transit

than the quality of schools or public safety. 

Nearly 80 percent said it was very important to be near public transit

while only 30 percent said it was very important to have free or discounted parking.”

 

Urban Land Institute Survey 2013Slide23

Shifting Attitudes: Driving less

Even in the Region that gave birth to the automobile

Young adults are ditching driver's licenses at a quickening pace.

 

Quite simply, cars are becoming less important or less accessible to

Millennials

.”

Good Transit Spurs Investment

A catalyst for

economic development & growth

.

Home values performed 42 % better

if located near regional transit with high frequency service.

High quality transit spurs development because businesses and developers want to invest where people want to live and work.Slide25

Transit Connects People with Jobs, Employers with Employees

Regional transit helps workers get to jobs, and makes it easier for a business to recruit skilled employees

People can be less dependent on personal vehicles: thus reducing their financial burden

Reliable transit reduces employee turnover.

92% of Jobs

In SE Michigan in 2016

can not

be reached within

60 minutes

using transit

Why Was the RTA Created?

Getting People to Work

Makes our region workSlide27

Because Our Current Transit System Isn’t Working

Limited transit service coverage

Limited frequencies

Disconnected & uncoordinated

No premium transit services

SE MI is behind peer regions

27Slide28

Because we need more investment

Limited investment in transit has limited our ability to compete in a 21st-century economy

28

Source: National Transit DatabaseSlide29

Because there are gaps between where people live and work

The potential for SE MI cannot be realized unless it becomes a connected region

Job centers not served by transit

Low frequency of service

Needs extend beyond county borders

Because We Must Fix this Situation

Michigan continues to lose a particularly valuable human resource: young people with college degrees

Crain’s Detroit Business

Jan 2016

The ongoing loss of young professional talent is a “serious demographic crisis that threatens economic growth as our workforce ages and population growth is stagnant”

RTA’s Regional Master Transit Plan

Approved by the RTA Board August 2016

The Plan

is built on the services

currently provided

by SMART, DDOT, AAATA, People Mover

The Plan

provides the framework to

coordinate

their services and communication for a more seamless transit user experience

The Plan

brings

new premium

rapid transit options
