Editor's Notes

  • #6 People discussion: Aging population Strong tourist and immigrant population Younger generation does not want to drive Residents want a shorter commute trip Residents want to spend less $$ on transportation costs The system should be safe and comfortable, convenient, easy to navigate, and get people where they need to go Overall residents want more options – specifically regional transit – for work, school, entertainment, errands & recreation
  • #9 Add network
  • #10 System snapshot
  • #11 Travel patterns
  • #13 Today, our system is the 94th metropolitan area for average share of jobs accesible in 90 minutes via transit. This statistic is one our region is trying to change, and the Vision is a step towards making this happen
  • #14 When starting the Vision, we looked at three distinct components that affect and influence transit – the people, the land patterns, and the transportation system itself
  • #15 When working across the different agencies, we asked what outcomes were desired for our transit system…..
  • #16 Our existing system is a good start, but the Vision attempts to connect the regional places of interest through a ‘hub system’ that was classified for the region: Mega Gateway Hub Largest CBD per County and/or Greater than 25,000 employees Gateway Hub 15,000 employees - 25,000 employees Anchor Hub Up to 15,000 employees Located at intersection of 2 regional corridors At least 50% commute more than 10 miles Education Hub Major education institutions/campuses The system is comprosed of regional rail, express bus and enhanced bus. This vision was the baseline for the regions long range planning efforts
  • #17 A transit system is not successful without a supporting ped/bike network. The region recognized this critical component and has developed a supportive ped/bike plan for the Vision
  • #18 We have several activities that are underway, these include …
  • #19 Travel patterns
  • #20 Based on studies of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure investments around the country and in Europe, improving bicycle and pedestrian safety and comfort in Last Mile areas will have a direct and significant impact on transit ridership and mode split. Focusing on Last Mile areas with documented safety concerns may best leverage limited funds to have the greatest impact on regional travel patterns. To this end, high frequency bicycle and pedestrian crash locations were mapped to determine which of the Last Mile areas should be given regional priority. These crash locations were identified using the Signal Four Analytics database and are based on bicycle and pedestrian crashes occurring between 2008 and 2012. Entire crash data set is shown in Appendix C. The high crash areas were defined as areas with high spatial density of more than 60 crashes/sq. mi.in the five-year period. The relative densities of crashes in the three-county area were mapped and are shown in Figures 5 through 7.
