Presentation Transcript

  1. Purpose To develop and evaluate a range of transit and transportation alternatives throughout the MPO area, considering: • Regional Goals and Objectives • Mobility Needs • Transportation Network Deficiencies • Environmental and Land Use Issues • Cost and Financing • Short -Term and Long-Term Improvements • Regional and International Trips

  2. Definition The Transit Corridor Feasibility Study Will: • Evaluate high capacity transit options for the El Paso MPO Area • Explore a variety of travel modes and congestion management measures • Develop a multimodal recommendation which meets short and long term travel needs

  3. Corridors

  4. Goals & Objectives • Meet Mobility Needs • Develop a Multimodal Transportation System • Improve and Optimize Current Transportation System • Improve International Access • Encourage Transit Supportive Land Use

  5. Needs • Transit • Roadway and General Mobility

  6. Needs • Transit • Access to healthcare, social services, and shopping activities • Access to educational institutions • Access to employment • Transit access to areas of the county with limited or no service • More express service – reduced transit travel time

  7. Needs • Roadway and General Mobility • Additional capacity along roadways • Additional capacity at I-10 interchanges

  8. Needs • Key Elements and Trends • Population and Employment by 2020: +38% each • Roadway Capacity: 90% arterials congested in 2020 • Transit Travel Time: increased due to congestion

  9. Needs • Key Characteristics • Transit Riders: young, older, lower income • Transit Trip Purpose: Work and Education • Spatial: Linear Corridors; Limited Capacity

  10. Needs • Peer Comparisons • Cities with High Capacity Transit • Cities Planning High Capacity Transit

  11. Evaluation • Preliminary Screening • Detailed Evaluation

  12. Evaluation • Qualitative Criteria • Transportation Needs and Mobility • Ridership Potential • Environmental Issues • Regional Goals/Objectives and Land Use • Neighborhood Compatibility

  13. Evaluation • Quantitative Criteria • Travel Time • Ridership • Capital and Operating Cost • Financing • Right-of-Way and Physical Constraints

  14. Technologies • Bus • Bus/HOV lanes • Busway/BRT • Light Rail Transit • Commuter Rail • Heavy Rail • Automated Guideway Transit • Monorail
