15 Drivers of Transit Success PART 3

16 Richmond Regional Drivers of Transit Demand What do we need to understand and examine in order to predict where transit will be successful? Land Use Socioeconomic characteristics Travel patterns Existing transit ridership Household trip-making Alternatives modes of travel

17 Land Use

18 What is the relationship between transportation, land use, and economic development?

19 What is transit supportive development? A mix of housing and commercial development Walkable neighborhoods Focused activity around transit stations Walkable Street in Bethesda, MD Mixed-Use Development in Dallas, TX

20

21 Why is transit supportive development important? Creates efficient conditions to walk, bike and take transit Boosts transit ridership and minimizes the impacts of traffic Provides a mix of housing, jobs, shopping and recreation Creates value for the public and private sectors Promotes a sense of community Green, Walkable Street in Los Angeles, CA Mixed-Use Development in Alexandria, VA

22 Priorities for creating transit-friendly places High quality transit works well where jobs, housing, and retail activities are close together. For a safe and comfortable pedestrian experience, streets can t be too wide, and sidewalks and crosswalks are important.

23 Development with active street life Santa Barbara, CA Albany, NY Chicago, IL Portland, OR

24 Development at a range of scales Kentlands, MD Fairfax, VA Washington, DC King Farm, MD

25 Example: Arlington, VA (MetroRail)

26 Example: Charlotte, NC (Light Rail)

27 Example: Cleveland, OH (Bus Rapid Transit)

28 DRPT Multimodal System Design Guidelines Statewide resource for planners, engineers, designers, policy and decision makers Approaches to support integrated land use and multimodal transportation planning Guidelines to optimize transit investments and reduce reliance on cars

29 DRPT Multimodal System Design Guidelines Analyze population and employment density as a means to understand transit options Engage stakeholders in discussion about density, urban design, and high-quality transit

43 Travel Forecasting

44 Richmond Regional Ridership Forecasting Richmond/Tri-Cities (RTC) Model Advanced practice four-step forecasting model Supports air quality analysis and project planning in the Richmond/Petersburg Metropolitan Area. Comprises 12 jurisdictions City of Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Hanover County, New Kent County, Powhatan County, Prince George County, Charles City County, City of Colonial Heights, City of Hopewell, and City of Petersburg. Calibrated to local data using VDOT standards (VTM Policies and Procedures Manual) National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) Add On for Richmond MSA for overall travel GRTC On Board Survey for transit ridership VDOT counts for highway volumes INRIX data for highway speeds Replicates existing, measured observed conditions and responded appropriately to future horizon years and to network/policy changes. Updated GRTC transit system to represent Fall 2014 schedule

45 Richmond Regional Ridership Forecasting RTC Model mode choice procedures developed with FTA New Starts/Small Starts guidelines in mind Evaluate regional transit system configurations for up to three forecast years Key Results include: Region wide linked transit trips Route level boardings Route level boardings by transit-dependents (0-car households) Travel time saved/lost Numbers of transferring passengers versus one-seat passengers Impacts to route miles/vehicle miles Diversion from/diversions to automobile mode and impacts to vehicle miles of travel
