difficulty in getting people to and from a transportation
hub

First and Last Mile Connections –
The Toughest Mile in Transit
Why is it important?
• Makes transit more accessible to and
from hubs
Difference between First Mile and
Last Mile
• Riders can drive from home (first
mile); driving is not always an option
to destination
FIRST MILE LAST MILE

5. EXISTING CONDITIONS – MODAL CATEGORIES
5
Car access and egress
• Park-and-ride
• Carpooling and Vanpooling
• Kiss-and-ride
Factoids
• Nearly a third of Metrorail riders
access stations by car; only 6
percent use to destinations
• Taxis / shared cars reduce parking
demand and provide last-mile
connectivity
6. EXISTING CONDITIONS – MODAL CATEGORIES
6
Transit access and egress
• Feeder services supply and
distribute passengers from trunk
routes
• Municipal circulators should extend
the reach of regional transit
network
• Employer provided van and shuttle
services bridge the gap (i.e. UM,
Baptist shuttles)
• Jitneys supplement bus
operations covering areas of low
demand
7. EXISTING CONDITIONS – MODAL CATEGORIES
7
Non-motorized access and egress
• Pedestrian Facilities (walkways, canopy,
weather-protection)
• Bicycle Facilities – (i.e. racks, lockers,
sharing stations, etc.)
Factoids
• Nearly 95% of all Metrobus riders walk to
bus stops
• Nearly 1 in 3 riders walk to Metrorail
station; 2 in 3 walk from station to
destination
• Bicycle trips suitable for distances up to
three miles
• Walk trips suitable for distances up to half-
mile for premium transit
8. CHALLENGES – CAR ACCESS

Capacity at park-and-rides
• ROW constraints
• Neighborhood impacts
• Construction costs
• Accessibility
◦ Pedestrian
◦ Bicycle
◦ ADA
9. CHALLENGES – TRANSIT ACCESS
