1. Update for VTrans2025 Technical Committee April 12, 2006

2. Introduction • Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Presentation Review: “Multimodal Transportation Districts: A Creative Planning Tool in Florida” presented byJared Ulmer Renaissance Planning Group 04/07/06

3. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute developed the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) • A maturity model provides • a place to start • the benefit of a community’s prior experiences • a common language and a shared vision • a framework for prioritizing actions • a way to define improvement • A maturity model can be used as a benchmark for assessing different organizations for equivalent comparison CMMI Overview presentation, http://www.sei.cmu.edu/cmmi/

5. Potential Maturity Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Instead of software design capability of organizations, we focus on ability of statewide transportation corridors to provide robust and varied service • The Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model borrows from the CMMI framework, viewing each corridor in terms of its • Potential for multimodal investment • Existing multimodal maturity

6. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Metrics used to identify levels of multimodal maturity • Density (population, housing, jobs, attractions) • Accessibility to attractions by mode within time radius • Percent/amount of mixed use zoning • Mode split • Presence / Quality of intermodal facilities • Multimodal LOS • Accidents/injuries/fatalities by mode, normalized by person-mile traveled

7. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Density example • Census 2000 blockgroup density maps • Transit requires density Gray, George. 1992. Systems and service planning in Gray & Hoel, eds. Public Transportation, 2nd edition. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, pg. 369-406.

19. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Future steps • Define the maturity levels of the MCMM based on metrics • Integrate further data into our research • Accessibility • Investigate multimodal “LOS” • Intermodal facilities • Global Insight freight data

20. Multimodal Corridor Maturity Model • Measuring accessibility • Number of opportunities (jobs, households, etc.) within a specific amount of time from a given location by automobile, transit, or some other mode of transportation

22. “Multimodal Transportation Districts: A Creative Planning Tool in Florida” • 1999 Florida Growth Management Act authorizes local governments to establish multimodal transportation districts • Areas in which priority is placed on safe, comfortable, attractive pedestrian environments, with convenient interconnection to transit • Supports walking, bicycling and transit use • Enables advance of transportation concurrency • Transportation facilities be available concurrent with the impacts of development Presented by Jared Ulmer, Renaissance Planning Group, 04/07/06

23. Presented by Jared Ulmer, Renaissance Planning Group, 04/07/06

24. “Multimodal Transportation Districts: A Creative Planning Tool in Florida” • Multimodal Transportation Districts • Density bonuses • Mixed-use zoning • Maximum block lengths • Access management; entrances to stores on minor, rather than major roads • On-site multimodal transportation infrastructure • Off-site shared parking • On-site parking behind rather than in front of buildings • Maximum front setbacks • Buildings oriented to the sidewalk • Ground floor transparency • Streetscaping and on-site amenities Presented by Jared Ulmer, Renaissance Planning Group, 04/07/06

25. “Multimodal Transportation Districts: A Creative Planning Tool in Florida” • Multimodal Level of Service • Bicycle LOS (BLOS), Sprinkle Consulting, Inc. • Presence of bike lane • Proximity to motorized vehicle • Motorized vehicle volume • Motorized vehicle speed • Percentage large trucks or heavy vehicles • Pavement condition • Percent on-street parking • Pedestrian LOS (PLOS) , Sprinkle Consulting, Inc. • Presence of a sidewalk • Lateral separation of pedestrian and motorized vehicles • Presence of physical barriers and buffers • Motorized vehicle volume • Motorized vehicle speed Presented by Jared Ulmer, Renaissance Planning Group, 04/07/06

26. “Multimodal Transportation Districts: A Creative Planning Tool in Florida” • Multimodal Level of Service • Transit LOS (TLOS) • Service frequency • Pedestrian LOS • Span of service • Pedestrian crossing difficulty • Obstacle to bus stop • Highway LOS (LOS) • FDOT’s primary planning software (ARTPLAN) calculates PLOS, BLOS, TLOS, and LOS simultaneously Presented by Jared Ulmer, Renaissance Planning Group, 04/07/06
