Abstract This report documents the results of three grants awarded in 1983 by the Urban Mass Transit Admini- stration for Section 8 Private Sector Initiative projects. The grants were intended to encourage cooperative public and private planning for the solution of specified local transportation problems The resulting projects involved transit services, ridesharing and flex-time promotion, traffic man- agement, changes in parking policies or facilities, and potentially zoning, development and bicycle policies or plans. DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATlJ) The grant recipients were: The Metropolitan Development Foundation (MDF) in Syracuse, New York; The Middlesex Somerset Mercer Regional Study Council (MSM) , centered in Princeton, New Jersey and serving the three surrounding Counties for which it is named; and Central Atlanta Progress (CAP), in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The first two of these organizations have evolved separate transportation management organizations (TMOs) for administering their grant and for receiving supporting donations from member firms. For them, the challenge grants were "seed money" that helped to finance both the transportation studies of interest and the organizing efforts for the TMOs. In contrast, CAP used its existing organization and private funding channels to act as a temporary TMO in managing a feasibility study of a downtown bus loop that will likely be operated by the local transit agency, MARTA, without significant further involvement by CAP. 17.

The three case studies constitute the three sections of this report, each with a common outline: 1. Geographic setting and transportation issues 2. Transportation project aims 3. Form and history of TMO 4. Project results and TMO evolution through January 1986. We are grateful for the continued support of the local project managers for the challenge grants in preparing these case studies. They were: David Mankiewitz of MDF , Nancy Podeszwa of MSM, E. Larry Fonts of CAP, and Ed Armentrout of CAP. Eric Schreffler was the TSC project manager for this evaluation, and Jim Bautz was the project manager for UMTA. i i i 1 1 o u. 2—8 w 3 - - *% 3 31 s a 9 & £ > E> (/) j-a s If! 3 m "9 z = i e • o y. •s • • • i - g > a-- o • 4 « 8 if C o .«» 3 r S 11 A A <0 - if.ssJU 77 72 3 » —JU<*> i?

DOWNTOWN SYRACUSE AND UNIVERSITY HILL 1.1 GEOGRAPHIC SETTING AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES Syracuse is a city of 170,000 population located in upstate New York. It is the central city for a large metropolitan area, currently at a population of 650,000. The regional economy is changing in emphasis from manufacturing to service industries, creating a growing concentration of employment in downtown Syracuse. Besides the retail core of the city, these service industries now include all levels of government, financial and insurance firms, hotels, cultural attractions, some apartments, and, especially in the adjoining University Hill area, schools, hospitals, and other medical enterprises. The growth is continuing, spurred by revitalization efforts to increase the cultural and recreational attractiveness of downtown Syracuse for employees and visitors. Along with the growth is coming the usual access problems of dense urban centers: scarce parking, spot peak period highway congestion, and difficulties providing adequate transit service. The information on these problems that follows is principally summarized from References 1 and 2. Figure 1* delineates the sixty blocks or so that comprise downtown Syracuse, and also shows the location of some 10,000 public off-street parking spaces out of a total of 11,000 such spaces. Another 2,000 on-street spaces are available, plus 5,000 private off-street spaces, for a total of 18,000. The downtown area is served on its eastern boundary by 1-81, the north/south freeway through the city, and on its north by 1-690, the east/west freeway. These facilities merge in the section between Townsend and Salina Streets.

Travel Demand Management H. Pedestrian and Bicycle Management I. Rail Transportation J. Air Transportation K. Implementation of Improvements L. Action Plan IV. CIRCULATION PLAN ELEMENT A. Introduction The Township's geographic location is one which has permitted controlled growth and development. Located in southern Middlesex County, in the center of the state, the Township's populace continues to have easy and direct access to New York, Newark, Philadelphia and the surrounding cities of Trenton, Princeton and New Brunswick. Existing transportation systems are being taxed and demand on the transportation system has become overloaded as more people are drawn to this desirable local area. Transportation is much more than a matter of convenience; it is an integral part of our growing community and as such it should be accessible, reliable, and available to all residents, workers, and visitors in the Township. As with most suburban locales, Plainsboro's primary means of transportation is the private automobile via the area's roadway network. This plan element recognizes the local population's preference for auto transportation, while promoting alternate modes such as bicycle, pedestrian, public and private bus service, rail transportation by way of the New Jersey Transit’s Princeton Junction Train Station and the potential for bus rapid transit. The majority of residents in Plainsboro utilize the northeast corridor's major roadway system, including Route 1, Route 130 and the New Jersey Turnpike. These are major links to surrounding communities, and they provide access to residential, industrial, and commercial areas.
