Title: Bus Rapid Transit Development Strategies in Santa Clara County, California
Accession Number: 01479247
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is planning the deployment of a full-featured Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line for a major travel corridor in Santa Clara County, California. While the original project intended deployment of full BRT characteristics for the entire corridor, based on stakeholder feedback, it is very likely that VTA will not be able to establish exclusive BRT characteristics for over 70 percent of the project corridor. This study modifies the methodology of BRT ridership forecast used in an earlier BRT Strategic Plan and proposes several scenarios including the existing committed short-term scenario and the VTA’s preferred long-term scenario. Ridership forecasts, a marginal boarding analysis, the impact of an exclusive bus lane installation, and transit market analysis have been conducted and the preferred scenario is presented.
