Developing Customer Oriented Transit Performance Measures National Transit GIS Conference Martin Catala
Outline • Define Customer Oriented Measures • Illustrate Customer Oriented Measures • Address Improvements • Describe New Measures
Customer Perspectives Quality of Service Measures Transit Attractiveness
Customer Oriented Measures • Where and When of Transit • Hours of Service • Frequency • Service Coverage • System Wide
System Performance • Weekday Span of Service • 18 hours + • Frequency • Headway • Buses per hour • Coverage • ¼ Mile Buffer
Improved Measures • Customer Perspective • Stop or Neighborhood Level • Evaluate both ends of the trip
Driving Improvements • Role of New Data • Role of New GIS Techniques • Computer Power
GIS Ideal Tool • Illustrate Availability • Evaluate Availability
Improving Service Coverage ¼ Transit Coverage Route Alignment
Stop Based Service Coverage ¼ Mile Stop Euclidean Distance More Precise
Transit Access at Stop 606,353 Population 67% 568,175 Population 63%
Stop Based Walk Access 568,175 Population 63% 420,403 Population 46%
Accurate not Bad 606,353 Population 67% 420,403 Population 46%
New Data New Measures Frequency – Trips per hour Span of Service – Hours /Day
Trips Per Hour Aggregate Categorize Jobs and Population by Trip Frequency
Analysis Overlay Data
Frequency – Transit Dependent Workers Success Gaps
Examination of O-D Accessibility • Both Ends of trip are vital to Customer • Examine Census Tract in Downtown St Petersburg
Where do workers Live Density Pedestrian Friendly Frequency Transit Commute Time
Are Workers in “Transit Supportive” Neighborhoods Density Component of Transit Utilization
Are Transit Accessible Origins Pedestrian Friendly Intersection Density
Do worker Live in Transit Accessible Neighborhood Use TCQSM to identify ideal frequency thresholds Trips per hour 6 trips per hour or greater 4 – 5 per hour 2 – 3 per hour Less than 2 per hour
Customer Oriented Measures • Identifying Characteristics for O-D • Transit Supportive • Walkable • Frequency • Transit Travel Time • Provides real insight into customer needs
