APA Washington RDI Presentation

1. American Planning Association - Washington Chapter 2009 Conference – Vancouver, Washington Transportation Connectivity

4. The RDI can be measured separately for motorized and non-motorized travel, taking into account non-motorized shortcuts, such as paths that connect cul-de-sacs, and barriers such as highways and streets that lack sidewalks.

5. A high RDI may indicate that streets are well connected with good sidewalks and blocks are likely relatively small so that people can travel more directly to destinations.

7. Growth Management

9. Concurrency Program Refinements

10. VMT and GHG per Capita Reduction

11. Multi-Modal Level-of-Service (LOS)

13. Evaluating the benefits and effects of proposed pathways and sidewalk improvements is also impractical without software.

15. New Shared-Use Paths Shared-Use Path Connections Average RDI Score: 14 % improvement Fair / Good .66

16. RDI – “Before & After” Delta Shared-Use Path Connections
