  1. Multimodal Corridor System Management – Incorporating Analysis of Transit, Demand Management Programs and Operational Strategies Presented by Bill Loudon, DKS Associates May 11, 2011

  2. Presentation Outline • Overview of the Project • Modeling Approach • Testing of Scenarios • Results and Conclusions

  3. Regional Context

  4. The US-101 Corridor

  5. Project Objectives • To identify the location and characteristics of bottlenecks • To develop tools for the evaluation of delay-reduction strategies • To evaluate the delay-reduction potential of multi-modal strategies in in a complex urban corridor

  6. Santa Barbara Bottlenecks

  7. Ventura Bottlenecks 7

  8. 2023 Delay as a Percentage of VHT 8

  9. Existing and Planned Programs • Local and Express Bus Transit • Limited Intercity Passenger Rail Service • Limited Park and Ride Lots • Demand Management Programs • Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities

  10. Additional Transit and TDM Options Considered • Increased Local Bus Service • Increased Express Bus Service in HOV Lanes • “Commuter Friendly” Intercity Rail Service • Expanded Park and Ride • Expanded Demand Management Programs

  11. Stakeholder Participation • State Department of Transportation • Metropolitan Transportation Organizations (MPOs) • County Transportation Commissions • Cities and Counties • Transit Providers • Air Quality Management District • Community Representatives

  12. Stakeholder Committees • Transit and Demand Management • Traffic Operations • Modeling

  13. Modeling Approach and Tools

  14. Corridor Network in Santa Barbara County

  15. Corridor Network in Ventura County

  16. Hybrid Simulation Representation of the Network

  17. Supplemental Analysis Tools • Pivot Point Transit Analysis Model • TDM Effectiveness Model • Freeway Service Patrol Effectiveness Model

  18. Scenarios for Testing • Transit and TDM Enhancement • Ramp Metering • Minor Roadway Capacity Enhancements • Incident Management

  19. Ventura AM Northbound

  20. Santa Barbara AM Northbound

  21. Santa Barbara AM Northbound Baseline 2023

  22. Transit and TDM

  23. Ramp Metering

  24. Minor Physical Improvments

  25. Transit and TDM - Conclusions Overall benefits can be significant in peak commute direction PM Peak Period Southbound Reduction 25

  26. Ramp Metering - Conclusions Can reduce delay when congestion is not severe Peak-Period Delay Reduction 2023 26

  27. Safety Benefits of Ramp Metering 27

  28. Minor Capacity Improvements - Conclusions Can significantly improve the productivity of the freeway Peak-Period Delay Reduction 2023 28

  29. Freeway Service Patrol - Conclusions Freeway Service Patrol Benefits 2023 29

  30. Conclusions • Consideration of multimodal management options was important to the US 101 CSMP • An analytical method for testing multimodal options could be integrated into the modeling process • The involvement of stakeholders throughout the process was important to the testing and integration of multimodal strategies
