Public Comment
• No public present.
Agenda Item 1: FCMOVES! — Fort Collins Mobility Objectives and Values Evaluation
Statistics
Interim Transportation Director Mark Jackson presented information about FCMOVES! a new
program of transportation metrics. Its intent is to find ways to provide information in lay terms
that are more understandable to the public and decision -makers, while avoiding such technical
jargon as "level of service" and "vehicle miles traveled [VMT]." The project includes
• a statistically valid survey of travel behavior every two years,
• benchmarking system performance against similar communities in the region, state, and
nation, and
• • a longitudinal perspective, to show relative change over time
Development of the FCMOVES! metrics was budgeted for 2006/07. A consultant is working on
a draft report, for completion this fall. Funding for implementation of FCMOVES, however,
depends on the outcome of the BFO process for the 2008/08 budget, and is not assured.

Board members had the following comments:
- One way to "sell" FCMOVES is to make it a tool that can keep the City Council
accountable to the public for transportation system performance.
- Include metrics concerning the cost of providing transportation, explicitly including the
value of land used for streets, bikeways, etc.
- Include estimates of the pollution emissions from the vehicles on the transportation
system and the total VMT on the system.
- Consider using a citizen reporting network, to provide data on roadway and traffic
conditions.
Announcements:
Mike Doyle reports a positive finding of West Nile Virus and that the WNV-carrying
mosquito population is up six -fold this year.
