10 MAP-21 Defines BRT in Two Categories FIXED GUIDEWAY FTA SGR Circular Definition Majority of project operates in a separated right-of-way dedicated for public transportation use Makes a substantial investment in a single route within a defined corridor Defined stations Transit Signal Priority / Queue Jump Short headway times Bidirectional services (weekdays & weekends) Branding > 50% fixed guideway CORRIDOR-BASED Separated right-of-way not required for entirety of corridor Makes a substantial investment in a specific corridor Defined stations Transit Signal Priority / Queue Jump Short headway times Bidirectional services (weekdays & weekends) Branding 10

11 Important Definition Changes in MAP-21 SAFETEA-LU Fixed Guideway public transportation facility (A) using and occupying a separate right-of-way or rail for the exclusive use of public transportation and other high occupancy vehicles; or (B) using a fixed catenary system and a rightof-way usable by other forms of transportation. MAP-21 Fixed Guideway - public transportation facility (A) using and occupying a separate right-of-way for the exclusive use of public transportation; (B) using rail; (C) using a fixed catenary system; (D) for a passenger ferry system; or (E) for a bus rapid transit system. 11

12 MAP-21 Eligible Small Starts Projects Total cost <$250 million and Small Starts share <$75 million New fixed guideway systems and extensions Fixed guideway BRT Corridor-based BRT that represents a substantial investment in a defined corridor, with features including: Defined stations Traffic signal priority for transit Short headway bi-directional services for a substantial part of weekdays and weekend days 12

31 Transit Supportive Land Use Development Density Adjacent developments should have a medium and high density to create the critical mass of inhabitants necessary to support BRT Development Character (walkable and livable) Adjacent development should be walkable and livable, relying on a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network and diversity of development types 32

32 Transit Alternatives Development Operational Plans / Improvements Capital Plans / Improvements Cost / Revenue Analysis Phased Recommendations 33

33 Operational Plans / Improvements Analysis of Planned Service Improvements (Jan 2015) Develop Operational Improvements US 1 corridor service Service frequency Span of service hours Bus stop locations Transfers Supporting transit network Improved connections Modified shuttle route alignments Service frequencies and hours of shuttle routes 34

34 Operational Plans / Improvements Travel Time Saving Operational Improvements Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Queue Jump Lanes / Bus Islands Young Circle operating alternatives / stop location Travel time savings estimates Operating Plans / Requirements Phased Improvements 35

35 Capital Plans / Improvements Physical Capital Improvements TSP Queue Jumps Bus Bays Passenger Amenities (shelters, benches, access, etc.) Pedestrian Access Improvements Buses / Other Capital Infrastructure Capital Costs Phased Improvements 36

36 Cost / Revenue Analysis O&M and Capital Cost Estimates Additional / New Costs Ridership / Revenue Projections Potential Revenue Sources Existing and Preferred Alternatives Prioritize Improvements 37

37 Trade-offs Performance Measures Between improvements and their overall effects Faster Service with Less Stops Greater Station Spacing with Longer Walk Distances On-Street Mixed Flow with Traffic Delay Impacts Dedicated Lane with Traffic and ROW Impacts Transit Signal Priority with Cross Street Traffic Flow Off-board Fare Collection with Cash Customers 38

38 Performance Measures Quantitative / Qualitative Measures Travel Time Travel time savings Reliability Travel time variability Capacity Ridership / loads Accessibility Access and availability of service Identity and Image System perception Safety and Security Convenience and safety Plus Cost Capital and Operating 39

39 Phased Recommendations Prioritized Improvements Phasing Plan Near-Term (1-2 years), Short-Term (2-5 years), Mid-Term (5-10 years) and Long-Term (> 10 years) Existing and planned (and potential) funding Address operational needs for corridor Implement physical improvements Coordinate with jurisdictional plans/improvements Phased capital program funding 40
