The importance of getting this project right is paramount and we are grateful for the opportunity to submit AECOM’s qualifications to you. As the premier transportation firm in the nation, ranked #1 in Transportation in Engineering News-Record’s 2020 “Top 500 Design Firms”, we know that we have above and beyond what it takes to bring your vision to life. BCRTA wishes to create a welcoming multimodal transit facility connecting BCRTA routes serving Oxford and the University with interurban buses, passenger rail, and bicyclist and commuter students to help your riders get where they need to go in their daily lives. BCRTA’s mission is to support Butler County’s quality of life and economic development through public transportation solutions and we understand the critical importance of this facility establishing an identity for the City of Oxford and Miami University as a progressive transit-oriented community. The shared services facility will support the BCRTA, Talawanda School District and the University to maintain their vehicle fleets in a centralized state of the art facility increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs. The Chestnut Street Facility and the Amtrak platform is more than purely a transportation investment. This facility can be leveraged to catalyze economic development and placemaking, enhance quality of life, and improve economic, social, and environmental sustainability. With Miami University, small businesses, cultural attractions, the historically significant downtown, and Oxford residents in mind, this facility can be utilized to maximize benefits to each of these constituencies. The AECOM team has been coordinating with the City, and more recently the BCRTA, to assist with expertise, strategies, and tools to advance the implementation of BCRTA’s vision. The Chestnut Fields shared services facility is the largest capital construction project the BCRTA has undertaken and we know you will need a reliable and capable partner to provide assistance from the conceptual design through construction and commissioning. WHY AECOM? National Expertise, Ohio Presence. We provide planning, design and construction services under the auspice of the FTA and FRA project development process to transit agencies, municipalities and governmental clients throughout Ohio and the nation. Our legacy firms have served the greater Cincinnati community since 1947 including work for the City of Oxford and Butler County. Our team will be led by Steve Robinson, AIA and an experienced team of Ohio and Indiana-based subject matter experts and designers, some of whom you are already familiar with. We will deliver a transit and passenger rail facility incorporating the leading edge of sustainability and technology in similar facilities nationally with a multidisciplinary team located less than two hours from Oxford. Fully Integrated Services. AECOM offers BCRTA something no other firm can under one roof: peerless transit and railroad design expertise fully integrated with a multi-disciplinary, award-winning architecture, transportation planning, landscape architecture, engineering, environmental services and sustainability design services. This diversity of experience enables the AECOM team to approach BCRTA’s goals through a unique lens that will lead to superior, innovative outcomes. Innovative Approach. As a global firm driven by innovation, our reach and experience is one of the primary reasons our clients seek us out as their partners. To innovate, it is important to look at all opportunities with a beginner’s mind. Our size and global reach are only an asset if it is matched with a project team that knows the community, the stakeholders and the opportunities and challenges of the site. Our project manager Steve Robinson along with our key leaders described in our proposal are that team. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss our proposal with you in detail and to help you achieve your vision of the Chestnut Street Multimodal Station and Shared Services Facility and City of Oxford Passenger Rail Platform project.

TDM Resource Guide & Strategic Mktg Plan Final Report 12-16-14 Page 3 BACKGROUND The Washington metropolitan region initiated its first formal transportation demand management efforts in the early 1970s with Commuter Club, which was established by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), the General Services Administration, and the Greater Washington Board of Trade to provide basic ridematching for carpools and vanpools. In subsequent years, the program grew into a COG-coordinated network of local rideshare agencies, and in 1989, it became the Ride Finders Network which provided free information and computerized ride matching services to area residents seeking to join car or vanpools or locate appropriate transit arrangements and park-and-ride locations. In 1996, the regional network was renamed Commuter Connections. In 1997, Commuter Connections expanded its services to include regional telework assistance and resources, its first website, a regional Guaranteed Ride Home program, information on bicycling to work, InfoExpress commuter information kiosks, and free assistance to employers for the development and implementation of alternative commute programs and benefits. In 1998 Commuter Connections began to honor employers in the region through the Employer Recognition Awards program. In 2000, Commuter Connections rolled out Bike to Work Day as a regional entity, initially started as a DC based event by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. In 2003, Commuter Connections expanded its marketing efforts through the implementation of a regional mass marketing measure. The purpose of the measure was to brand the Commuter Connections name as the umbrella organization for commuter transportation information in the Washington Metropolitan area and to subsequently increase the use of alternative forms of commuting.

  • Broad Street Rapid Transit Study Economic Impacts

    Broad Street Rapid Transit Study Economic Impacts

    BROAD STREET RAPID TRANSIT STUDY ECONOMIC IMPACTS 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the past decade, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), GRTC Transit System (GRTC), and the Richmond Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (RAMPO) have initiated various planning efforts with the aim of upgrading transit options in the Richmond region. Broad Street consistently emerges from those studies as an ideal candidate for public transit improvement. Broad Street remains one of the main thoroughfares in the region, with significant economic activities in the surrounding corridor. The corridor includes or is adjacent to large commercial centers, office parks, prominent entertainment and convention venues such as Richmond Center Stage and the Richmond Convention Center, various state and local government agencies such as the State Capitol and Richmond City Hall, and the academic and medical campuses of Virginia Commonwealth University. This corridor is currently supported by a high density of local bus routes, with as many as 48 buses in one segment of Broad Street during the peak hour. The current congested network of converging and overlapping transit routes contributes to inefficiencies in service and impedes traffic flow within the Broad Street Corridor. DRPT and GRTC are nearing completion of the Broad Street Rapid Transit Study which recommends the establishment of a bus rapid transit (BRT) route along the Broad Street Corridor. The purpose of this technical memorandum is to identify the potential economic benefits derived from the Broad Street BRT Build Alternative, which is planned to run 7.6 miles from Willow Lawn to Rocketts Landing (Figure 1). Although the majority of the route resides within the City of Richmond, the western and eastern termini are located in Henrico County.

Project improvements will include providing a standardized street cross-section (two travel lanes in each direction with a center median or left-turn lane), on-street parking, bicycle accommodations, wider sidewalks, enhanced pedestrian crossings, landscaped median areas, and street trees where practicable. The standardization of the cross-section is anticipated to require acquisition of additional public right-of-way with impacts to curb lines and drainage structures; however, no impacts to significant building structures or relocation of residences or businesses are anticipated as a result of construction.
