Over time, this number will continue to grow as cities modify their land-use plans to provide more housing and jobs near stations, consistent with market demand and regional goals for more sustainable communities. These planning guidelines outline a specific infrastructure improvement strategy designed to facilitate easy, safe, and efficient access to the Metro system. They introduce a concept herein referred to as ‘the Pathway’, and provide direction on the layout of transit access networks and components within Metro Rail and fixed route Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station areas. They serve as a resource for Metro and the many public and private organizations throughout the region working to update programs, land-use plans, planning guidelines, business models, entitlement processes, and other tools that take advantage of LA County’s significant investment in the public transportation network. Metro First Last Mile Strategic Plan Goals 1 Expand the reach of transit through infrastructure improvements. 2 Maximize multi-modal benefits and efficiencies. 3 Build on the RTP/SCS and Countywide Sustainable Planning Policy (multi-modal, green, equitable and smart).

  • Using Multi-Criteria Analysis to Identify Suitable Light Rail Transit Route

    Using Multi-Criteria Analysis to Identify Suitable Light Rail Transit Route

    Jurnal Alam Bina, Jilid 09, No; 01, 2007. USING MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY SUITABLE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT ROUTE Ahmad Nazri Muhamad Ludin, Siti Noor Haslinda Mohd Latip Email: [email protected] Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Built Environment, University Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor, Malaysia ABSTRACT Public transportation planning and development are undergoing continuous changes often prompted by both external factors and policy-directed responses. The role of public transit, particularly rail transit, becomes increasingly importance with the changing demographic and economic pattern. The trend of returning to urban living for example, has significantly increased the demand for efficient public transportation in urban centers. However, the design and development of Light Rail Transit (LRT) route seldom takes into consideration land use changes and demand. This paper investigates how non-spatial and spatial data can be integrated within a multi criteria decision framework to formulate and evaluate land use development corridor to determine suitable route for LRT. A raster base multi-criteria analysis model was developed base on a set and specific objectives, criteria, indicator and data requirement. The set criteria and indicator proposed are in line with the objectives to improve public transportation as stipulated in the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan. A case study approach is undertaken within a selected LRT railroad in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The model, integrating GIS and external software, shows that suitable LRT alignment can be identified that take into account social, institutional and environmental objectives. The approach will assist in the planning and development of LRT network, and thus maximizing usage of rail-based public transport to serve the community.

    DRAFT Route Evaluation FARMINGTON AVENUE 506 | Downtown New Britain Service Design Route 506 is a radial route, providing service between Downtown New Britain and UConn Health/John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington. The route operates primarily on Washington Street, Farmington Avenue, Fienemann Road, Colt Highway, and Birdseye Road. FIGURE 1 | ROUTE MAP | 1 DRAFT System Interaction and Transfer Opportunities Route 506 originates in downtown New Britain, near the intersection of Bank Street and Main Street and the Downtown New Britain CTfastrak station, and terminates at the UConn Health Center Outpatient Pavilion. From downtown New Britain riders can transfer to nearly all other CTtransit routes serving New Britain, as well as CTfastrak routes for service to Hartford. In addition, Route 506 also has transfer opportunities with Route 66 and Route 121 at multiple locations on the campus of the UConn Health Center in Farmington and with Route 902 on Farm Springs Road (Figure 2). FIGURE 2 | TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES TRANSFER TO SERVING Route 66 Hartford and Unionville Route 121 Farmington, Newington, Hartford, East Hartford Route 902 Downtown Hartford, New Britain, Farmington Alignments and Service Patterns The primary alignment of Route 506 travels outbound from downtown New Britain via Main Street and Washington Street. The route follows Washington Street for three blocks, turns right on Lasalle Street, and makes an immediate left turn on to Farmington Avenue. The route travels northwest on Farmington Avenue and continues as the road transitions to Fienemann Road. At Batterson Park Road the route turns right to serve the Batterson Park Road Park and Ride, and then returns to Fienemann Road, traveling west.

  • Explore: an Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning

    Explore: an Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning

    Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Kari Edison Watkins, Brian Ferris, and G. Scott Rutherford University of Washington Abstract Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the usabil- ity of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. A key staple of most transit traveler information systems is the trip planner, a tool that serves travelers well if the both origin and destination are known. However, sometimes the availabil- ity of transit at a location is more important than the actual destination. Given this premise, we developed an Attractions Search Tool to make use of an underlying trip planner to search online databases of local restaurants, shopping, parks and other amenities based on transit availability from the user’s origin. The ability to perform such a search by attraction type rather than specific destination can be a powerful aid to a traveler with a need or desire to use public transportation. Background Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the ease of use of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. No longer the domain of just simple printed schedules, transit traveler information systems have grown to include route maps and timetables, trip planners, real-time track- ers, service alerts, and others tools made available across cell phones, web brows- ers, and new Internet devices as driven by rider demand (Multisystems 2003).

    Granite Mountain Route 6 is a radial route connecting downtown Little Rock with neighborhoods southeast via Highway 365 and Detroit Street. 6 Route 6 provides connections to multiple trip generators, including Booker Magnet School, Mann Junior High School and Kroger. SERVICE PATTERNS: Route 6 operates with the same pattern for all trips, but inbound and outbound alignments are slightly different. From the River Cities Travel Center, the route travels to neighborhoods at Hwy 365 and Detroit Street, primarily along Rock Street, 21st Route 6 Granite Mountain Street, Barber Street, and Springer Boulevard. Inbound and outbound alignments differ between I-30 and Roosevelt Road. Route 6 largely parallels Express Route 19 from Roosevelt Road to Detroit Street during weekday service. 30 .
