  9. Summary of theoretical plans and priorities from Regional Transit Summits

  10. Cost OverviewSeptember 25, 2014 Estimating Rural Needs

  11. Estimating Rural Need TCRP Report 161 Methods for Forecasting Demand and Quantifying Need for Rural Passenger Transportation: Final Workbook Transit Cooperative Research Program Washington, D.C. 2013

  12. TCRP Approach for Documenting Need/Demand Persons residing in households owning no automobile: Derived from Census (American Community Survey five-year estimates, 2008-2012, File B08201). Key question: How much transit service would be needed to fully address the mobility needs of transit dependent persons?

  13. TCRP Formula Number of Households having no vehicle X mobility Gap What is the Mobility Gap? Number of trips/household/day in a household with one vehicle (5.0) minus number of trips/household/day with no vehicle (3.3) = 1.7 Mobility Gap of 1.7 is an estimate for New England.

  14. Example: Aroostook County Number of no-vehicle households: 2,472 Daily mobility need: (2,472) x 1.7 = 4,202 trips Annual Mobility Need = 4,202 trips x 300 = 1,260,600 trips.

  15. Page 17 TCRP Report Quote from page 17 of the TCRP Report: “In the testing of these suggested methodologies with a number of rural transit agencies, it was found that, at best, only about 20% of the mobility gap trip-based need was met.”

  16. Estimating Urban Demand • The following approach was developed in consultation with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations of Maine’s urbanized areas. • The mobility gap is based on the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, Federal Highway Administration. 10 trips/day for all-vehicle households 4.8 trips/day for no-vehicle households = gap of 5.2 trips/day/no-vehicle household • Includes trips by all modes. • PACTS uses a different methodology, but the mobility gap is roughly the same (5.02).

  17. How does Maine compare to other states?

  18. Choosing Maine’s “Peer States” • Basics found in: • American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation 2012. • AASHTO survey refined two ways by: • National Cooperative Research Highway Program (NCHRP) Report 569 Comparative Review and Analysis of State Transit Funding Programs. • First method grouped by specific objectives; • Geographic (Northeast) • Population (Smallest of 4 groups) • Urban/Rural (2nd to most rural of 5 groups) • Income (2nd to lowest of 5 groups) • Transit Services (lowest of 5 groups)

  19. (NCHRP) Report 569 Comparative Review and Analysis of State Transit Funding Programs. (Con’t.) Second method: 5 devised groups by natural cluster of scoring cutting across wider set of criteria: • Percent urban area • Percent urban VMT • Percent Hispanic/Latino • Percent African-American • Percent household income below $30,000 • Percent transit journey to work • Total population • Percent population over 65 • Percent population disabled • FTA urbanized area formula • FTA flex funds • State transit funding

  20. Maine’s “Peer States” Closer look at seven of 12 in consultation with MaineDOT: Idaho Montana Wyoming North Dakota New Hampshire Vermont West Virginia

  21. - Rural Transit Fact Book 2014 - Small Urban and Rural Transit Center August 2014 Data source is Rural National Transit Database (NTD). Data for transit providers receiving §5311 Non-Urbanized Area Formula Program funding. Does NOT include providers receiving only §5310 funds, or providers receiving both section §5311 and §5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program funding.
