Title: TRANSPORTATION PLANNING METHODS FOR IMPROVING MOBILITY IN DEVELOPING ACTIVITY CENTERS IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Accession Number: 00607706
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Orange County Transit District (OCTD) has a three-phase proactive planning process for developing transportation demand and systems management (TDM and TSM) actions at suburban activity centers, and implementing them with assistance from the private sector. The first phase involves coordinating with city planners and project developers to determine needed transit amenities (turnouts, shelters, pedestrian access, transit center) and preferential facilities for ridesharers, and then integrating these amenities in the project development plans through the local jurisdiction development conditions for the project. The second phase, formation of a transportation management association (TMA), is based on activity center employer and employee surveys. The key objective is to assist employers and the TMA (once formed) in planning and implementing various TDM and TSM strategies for the activity center. The third phase involves analysis of employee travel characteristics and a determination of transportation infrastructure and service deficiencies within the activity center, based on an analysis of existing and future travel demand. The demand methodology used involves locally developed procedures and models run on an in-house microcomputer system. The travel forecasting results are used to plan capital facilities including transitways, HOV/transit access ramps, and park-and-rides, and to develop transit services for the activity center.
