Transit & Growth Management

1. Transit & Growth Management Tara Bartee –FDOT Public Transit Office

2. Presentation Overview • Transit Basics • Proportionate Fair-Share Equation • Examples

3. Why Growth Management? To try to manage sprawl

4. What works where • Cost of Transit • Transit is flexible

7. Automobile Space

8. Person (automobile) Space

10. Person/Bus Space

11. What is Transit-Oriented Development? What is TOD? Comp Plan Language • Define the 3Ds Design Density Diversity

12. Definition • “Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is moderate to higher-densitydevelopment, located within an easy walk of a major transit stop, generally with a mix of residential, employment and shopping opportunities designed for pedestrians without excluding the auto. TOD can be new construction or redevelopment of one or more buildings whose design and orientation facilitate transit use.” Design Density Caltrans Diversity

13. What is a transit-oriented development? Design for people

14. Density

15. TOD is development that: Diversity Retail Office Residential • Contains a rich mix of uses – retail, residential, workplaces. • Has appropriate treatment of parking. Diversity

16. Outcome One encourages TOD at the station One separates the station from the community

17. Fronton in Miami • Land use doesn’t support transit • I’ve got the map

18. Denver, CO Neighborhood to Urban TOD Neighborhood Urban

19. Where money is spent to improve mobility Shelters Bus Priority Signal & Intersection Improvements

20. Transit Development Plan (TDP) • Look at: • Specific requirement to look at goals and policies of the comp plan and LRTP. • Public Involvement • Adopted by Governing bodies (county commission) • 10 year needs plan • Financially feasible to 3 years CIE FLUM Transportation Element TDP LRTP

21. Roadway improvement can be isolated to the “significantly” impacted area Transit costs can’t be limited to one hour a day and .74 miles Calculating the Costs Transit and roadways are different … O H, R E A L L Y ? ? ? ?

22. Transit Prop Share Number of Project Trips Cost = Proportionate Share Change in Peak Hour Max Service Volume

23. Proposed Methodology – Project Trips Number of Project Trips Cost = Proportionate Share Change in Peak Hour Max Service Volume 10 project trips = 10 needed seats/passengers on a bus

24. Proposed Methodology – Change in Max Service Volume Number of Project Trips Cost = Proportionate Share Change in Peak Hour Max Service Volume • Typical value of 40 seats per bus • Fundamental Assumption: Providing capacity on transit satisfies identified roadway capacity issue • Does not address issue of use/ridership of service

25. 3 years when TQOS A or B, 5 years when TQOS C or D, 7 years E or F or new service Capital Investments Technology Implementation Operating and maintenance Proposed Methodology - Cost Number of Project Trips Cost = Proportionate Share Change in Peak Hour Max Service Volume Time (years) (Capital + Operating) $ = Cost Transit Corridor Study Average Cost/Revenue Hour

26. Proposed Methodology - Cost Initial Assumption: Entire length of transit route (sum of both directions) included in cost calculation

27. Example Applications

28. Small Development • Development adding 50 new peak hour trips to one segment of a constrained four-lane facility in urban area Development on ‘Failing’ Facility

29. Small Development • Agency agreement that no roadway capacity projects are planned or could reasonably be constructed • Existing transit service on Main Street = LOS B • 10 minute headways, 6 buses per hour • Cost per operating hour = $75 • Length of existing bus route = 10 miles (20 miles round trip)

30. 520 peak hours . year number of peak hours . year Duration of Funding (yrs) Sample Calculation Small Development 50 passengers_ peak hour 1.25 = bus _ peak hour 40 passengers_ bus IMPROVEMENT COST cost . hour = cost . hour = $75 3 years

31. Sample Calculation Small Development 50 passengers_ peak hour 1.25 = bus _ peak hour 40 passengers_ bus

32. Medium Development • Development adding peak hour trips to several segments of a constrained six-lane facility in suburban area Development on ‘Failing’ Facility

33. Medium Development (Your turn) • Development adding peak hour trips to several segments of a constrained six-lane facility in suburban area Development on ‘Failing’ Facility

34. Medium Development Development on ‘Failing’ Facility • Agency agreement that no roadway capacity projects could reasonably be constructed • Existing transit service on SR X = LOS D • Length of existing bus route = 10 miles (20 miles round trip) Local government and transit agency review site plan and negotiate so that TOD principles are included.

36. Sample Calculation Medium Development

37. Large Development Development on ‘Failing’ Facilities • Development adding peak hour trips to several segments of a constrained six-lane facility, segments of a constrained four-lane facility, and segments to an unconstrained facility

38. Large Development • Agency agreement that no roadway capacity projects could reasonably be constructed on constrained facilities (SR X) • Existing transit service on SR X = LOS D • Length of existing bus routes = 10 miles (20 miles round trip)

39. Sample Calculation Large Development SR X
