  4. Presentation Outline • Site Overview • Existing Terminal Operations – Taft & Tampa • Site Trip Generation Characteristics • Seasonal Site Traffic Variation • Site Traffic Growth Factors • Trip Generation Forecast • Site Traffic Distribution • Area Capacity Characteristics • Background Growth Factors • DRI Impact Analysis Question & Discussion Breaks

  5. Site Overview • Size • Access from SR 60 • Regional Context

  6. Preliminary Master Plan

  7. Regional Context

  8. Existing Operations • Taft and Tampa Operations Overview • Intermodal • Automotive • How Containers and Cars convert to truck trips • Employee auto trips • Miscellaneous auto trips

  9. Existing Taft Operation

  10. Approximately 200 acres • Two distinct operations: • Containerized freight • CSX Intermodal • Automobiles • TDSI Existing Taft Operation

  11. New Car and Remarket Lots Existing Tampa Operation

  12. Approximately 75 acres • Automobiles Only • TDSI New Car and Remarket Lots Existing Tampa Operation

  13. Site Trip Generation Characteristics • Existing traffic volumes - Intermodal • Weekday variation • Hourly profiles • Existing traffic volumes – Automotive (Taft and Tampa) • Weekday variation • Hourly profiles • Summation of hourly volumes – Why AM is the recommended study peak?

  14. Intermodal Truck Traffic Variation: 2-Way Daily Volume Source: CSX ITOPS reports/ HDR counts Taft Sept. 2007

  15. Intermodal Truck Average Weekday Hourly Traffic Profile: 2-Way Hourly Volume 11 AM Source: CSX ITOPS reports/ HDR counts Taft Sept. 2007

  16. Automotive Truck Traffic Variation: 2-Way Daily Volume Source: CSX TDSI Carrier Records / HDR counts Taft Sept. 2007

  17. Automotive Truck Average Weekday Hourly Traffic Profile: 2-Way Hourly Volume

  18. Employee Traffic • Intermodal • 12-15 employees per day working three 8 hour shifts • Automotive • 25-30 employees per day at each facility working 1 shift • “24-7” contract • Other Traffic • Contract Maintenance, Office Deliveries, Employee Errands, Lunch, Visitors • Total Employee + Other Trips = 205 Trips/Day

  19. Average Weekday 2-Way Traffic Summary from Tampa & Taft Sites

  20. Hourly Traffic Profile of Combined Operations

  21. Project Traffic Seasonal Variation • Peak seasonal factors • Intermodal = 1.24 • Automotive = 1.35

  22. Intermodal Seasonal Adjustment

  23. TDSI Seasonal Adjustment

  24. Project Traffic Growth Factors • Intermodal = 1.51 • Automotive = 1.45 • These factors are business plan driven for the new site and facility operation

  25. Expanding the Data for the New Site for Growth and Seasonal Peak

  26. Passenger Car Equivalency • HCM formula for Level Terrain • Assume 100% Trucks • HCM Solved Conversion for fHV=1.5

  27. Expanding the Data for the New Site for Growth and Seasonal Peak • ADT Comparable to 285 Residential Units

  28. Project Traffic Distribution • Two separate distributions will be provided • Trucks • Employees/Other • Data sources • Trucks based upon Surveys and Truck Manifest • Employees based upon the Polk County Regional Travel Demand Model

  29. Top Truck Destinations

  30. Project Traffic Distribution

  31. Area Capacity Characteristics • K Factors (AM Peak/Daily vs. K100) • D Factors (defined by AM peak hour counts) • T Factors (collecting classification counts)

  32. Project Study Area

  33. Background Traffic Growth Factors & Analysis • Growth to Year 2009 Based on Historic Trends • Do not recommend the model for Background forecast • Trend Analysis to be Provided • Segments to Include Significantly Impacted Links + 1 Link Beyond • Intersections within Significant Segments to be analyzed for AM Peak Hour

  34. Documentation Requirements • Electronic files of HCS and FSUTMS Model • Page numbering of all appendices

  35. Schedule • Comments on Methodology within 2-weeks • Final Methodology Issued After that Time • ADA Question 21 Submittal mid-December
