I-95 NEW HAVEN HARBOR CROSSING CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

NEW HAVEN – EAST HAVEN – BRANFORD, CT

Record of Decision Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) Components Summary Report January 2012 – December 2013

The I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing (NHHC) Corridor Improvement Program (‘Program’) is one of Connecticut’s largest multi-modal transportation improvement initiatives. The program includes operational, safety and capacity improvements to over 7 miles of Interstate 95, including a new signature bridge over New Haven Harbor. In addition to new and upgraded Shore Line East commuter rail stations, there are numerous Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) components included as part of the program. The Federal Highway Administration Record of Decision for Interstate 95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge (Q-Bridge) (‘ROD’), dated August 1999, (Section 1.2 (pp. 3-4)), documents the Transit and TSM commitments. This report summarizes the current status of the implementation of the Transit and TSM components. A report from the Program Commitment Database with commitments of regional interest that have been implemented throughout the construction of the various Program Projects is also included. They are as follows: • Considerations to pedestrians and bicyclists • Construction of permanent roadside noise barriers • Minimizing construction noise levels • Coordination with municipalities, neighborhoods and other stakeholders • Providing alternate travel routes • Protection of the traveling public through the use of detailed maintenance and protection of traffic plans during construction. Also included is a NuRide Report for people who commute into and out of New Haven County. NuRide is an online ridematching and recording system that allows users to earn rewards for sharing rides. A reward can be earned whenever ride is shared or traffic on the roads is reduce, by way of - transit, vanpooling, carpooling, bike or walk – or even telecommuting or using a compressed work week schedule. The report counts the cumulative effort of people that are recording their rides in order to earn rewards, not the actual overall ridership, which is nearly impossible to count for some modes of travel.

Summary of ROD Requirement Findings The following is an overview and analysis, where possible, of the data related to the Transit and TSM Commitments. It accompanies the following charts and graphs and details ridership and related data as well as changes in ridership over time and changes in service that have been implemented to accommodate the changes, and some service changes that have resulted in increased ridership. Shore Line East – Total # of Riders by Year Since 2001, there have been numerous changes in service as a result of increased ridership and resulting in increased ridership: Expanded service on weekends and holidays (Summer 2008); Service to Stamford including Metro-North New Haven Line stops (SLE Express - one-seat/one-ride) (2002); Expanded midday weekday service; and Weekday service to New London was recently added. An additional 136 SLE passengers took the bus from Union Station eastbound in summer of 2010 due to track construction. Total number of riders per year does not include State Street Rail Station riders. Shore Line East service into State Street Station commenced in June 2002 (see ROD Requirement: Commuter Rail Station at State Street for additional station related statistics). Shore Line East – Total # of Riders by Month for Weekend & Holiday Service The spike in July ridership is due to Independence Day travel and Sailfest activities in the New London area in 2012. Additional trains have been scheduled during July to accommodate the increased ridership. Shore Line East – Average # of Daily Riders for Weekday and Weekend & Holiday Service The spike in July ridership is due to Independence Day travel and Sailfest activities in the New London area in 2012. Additional trains have been scheduled during July to accommodate the increased ridership. Shore Line East – State Street Station – Average # of Daily Riders by Quarter Shore Line East service into State Street Station commenced June 2002. Shore Line East – State Street Station – Average # of Daily Riders by Month The Union Station Shuttle, which started in December 2010, is a free weekday service connecting rail passengers using Union Station to additional off-site parking locations, including the Temple Street Garage and the parking lot at the former Coliseum site. All shuttle trips extend to the New Haven Green, creating easy connections to all other CTTRANSIT local bus routes in New Haven. The Union Station Shuttle runs continuously every 20 minutes, from 6:05 AM until 10:15 PM, Monday through Friday. Shore Line East – Station Upgrades Branford Station (State Project No. 310-0019) – 39 Maple Street, Branford, CT 06405 - Contractor: Banton Construction - New Station opened August 8, 2005. • A high-level handicapped accessible south side platform for level boarding • Bicycle rack • Parking: New expanded parking now open (adds 272 new spaces). The new lot is slightly elevated from existing lot and is accessible by a new bridge over a tidal stream. Guilford Station (State Project No. 310-0026) – 325 Old Whitfield Street, Guilford, CT 06437 - Contractor: Banton Construction - New Station opened November 28, 2005 • A high-level handicapped accessible south side platform for level boarding • Bicycle rack • Pick-up and drop-off areas • A pedestrian bridge for easy access to opposite platform • Parking: Free parking available at both north and south sides of the station Clinton Station (State Project No. 310-0021) – 10 John Street Extension, Clinton, CT 06413

I-95 NEW HAVEN HARBOR CROSSING CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM New Haven – East Haven – Branford ROD Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) Requirements January 2012 – December 2013

- Contractor: Banton Construction - New Station opened July 25, 2005. • A high-level handicapped accessible south side platform for level boarding • Bicycle rack • A design that allows for the future expansion to up and over facilities • Parking: Free parking available - Demolition of existing platform completed August 2005. Madison Station (State Project No. 310-0020) – 77 Bradley Road, Madison, CT 06443 • High-level handicapped accessible south side platform for level boarding • Bicycle rack • Parking: Free parking available Westbrook Station – 101 Norris Ave, Westbrook, CT 06498 • Bicycle rack • Parking: Free parking available CTTransit – “S” Route – Monthly Ridership and Average Daily Riders The ‘S’ Route was once operated by DATTCO and “interlined” with their Old Saybrook to Hartford express bus service (interlining is when a bus would run as the “S” to Old Saybrook, and then make the run up to Hartford as the express, and only be available to run the reverse route on the S when it returned – thus constraining the schedule). At some point in the past, this interlining no longer made sense and since around 2010 the route is operated by CTTRANSIT NH Division. Because the interlining no longer exists, there was more flexibility to change the scheduling and better align it with connecting services which may explain some of the ridership gains. CTTransit – “F” and “G” Routes – Average Daily Riders A major winter storm in February 2013 resulted in a drop in ridership. Improved Transit and Carpool/Vanpool Marketing Recent changes in the State’s Vanpool service providers have created a discrepancy in the most recent (2013) Vanpool data. New service providers are no longer required to give exact statistics for detailed Vanpool data such as a breakdown of the number of Vanpool Riders in the Corridor or the number of Vanpool seats.

Improved Access to Transit Information – Schedules and Brochures The Total Number of Announcements Sent represents announcements which are sent out to the Program-maintained distribution list for weekly construction activities, holiday construction notifications, event notifications, and additional special announcements as needed. In addition to Program Announcements, the Program responds to any questions or comments received from the public. This statistic is the Number of Inquiry Responses sent out by the Program through email. Improved Access to Transit Information – Website Visits CTTransit data represents average monthly visits to the routes and the schedule listing pages of website only. The apparent large drop in website visitors between 2012 (5,923/mo) and 2013 (1,305/mo) is most likely the result of a technological data tracking issue rather than an actual drop in website visitors. CTTransit has indicated that their overall site traffic has actually increased quite a bit, yet most visitors access the site using their mobile devices and the website is not able to track these visitors. Mobile technology has also provided visitors with alternatives to CTTransit’s online PDF format timetables, such as Trip Planner and Google Transit, along with other similar mobile apps. The drop in CTRides website visits beginning in July 2013 was due to the end of advertising. Improved Access to Transit Information – Phone Calls In July 2013, SLE switched to a new phone service that is no longer able to distinguish between after- hours calls for Shore Line East and calls for CTRides. The spike in CTRides calls in February 2012 is a result of the beginning of the campaign as well as a number of inclement winter weather days. Phone data for CTRides for the months of March-May and September-December of 2013 is unavailable due to changes in the data that AT&T provides. CTTransit no longer supports the means to accurately determine the number of calls to Customer Service. Optimized Flextime/Voluntary Rideshare (HOV) Preferential Parking/Guaranteed Ride Home Employers were contacted and presented with a marketing information program for all options. The Program is presented to the clients as a comprehensive overview that covers the following related programs/options: • Optimized flextime/telecommuting • Voluntary Rideshare Programs • Guaranteed Ride Program • NuRide Program Therefore, the data reflected in the ROD Requirement for each of these aspects is the same figure since an individual break out of each is not possible. The large discrepancy between the 2012 and 2013 figures is due to change in what types of data are collected. The 2012 figure represents the total number of meetings, calls, and drop in’s. The 2013 figure represents the total number of meetings and presentations conducted, as call data is no longer being collected due to new changes in CTRides’ tracking procedures. In 2012 there were 433 new employee meetings. In 2013 there were 200 new employee meetings. Insurance Breaks ($40) for Rideshare (HOV)/Transit The Insurance contacted were companies licensed to write auto insurance policies in the state.

13 I- 95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program New Haven - East Haven - Branford MITIGATION MEASURES AND PROGRAM COMMITMENT DATABASE 3/18/2014 OVERVIEW

The Record of Decision (August, 1999) for the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing (Page 35; Section 6. Monitoring and Enforcement) stipulates that to assure commitments made in the FEIS/4(f) and the ROD are incorporated into final design plans and construction, a design and construction management consultant has been retained by ConnDOT. Design refinements will also be reviewed for environmental sensitivity. Specific mitigation commitments are made in the FEIS/4(f), Chapter 4 following the discussion of each impact. These commitments are summarized in the FEIS/4(f) Executive Summary. Mitigation to cultural resources is also contained in the M.O.A. contained in Appendix B of the FIES/4(f). Traffic noise mitigation will be provided in accordance with conditions as described in the FEIS/4(f) (Chapter 4, pages 4-95 through 4-106). All construction activities will be continuously monitored by the FHWA, ConnDOT, and DEP. Construction activities will be conducted in accordance with regulatory permit stipulations and Best Management Practices for the protection of the environment.

The purpose of this Commitment Database is to satisfy the monitoring and enforcement section of the ROD by tracking, on a per contract basis, all of the commitments identified in the FEIS/ROD. Several additional categories of commitments, such as “City of New Haven” commitments, are also tracked in the database.

The database contains, for each commitment, a description of the commitment, a unique ID number, the reference document (FEIS/ROD) and page, the Program contracts the commitment applies to, the design/construction status and implementation due date, the locations within the design documents where the commitment is addressed, and the parties responsible for incorporating the commitment into the final design plans and the construction. Commitments that apply to the I-95 Program on a corridor-wide basis are designated as “Program (92-505)” under the “Contract/State Project Number“ field.

Tracking The Management Consultant tracks the identified commitments during design to ensure the commitments have been incorporated into the final design plans. The manner in which commitments have been addressed in the contract plans and specifications are confirmed and documented in the database under the “Design Document Locations” field. When adequately addressed, the commitment is marked as “Completed” under the “Design Status” field.

Some commitments are “closed out” during the design phase and, therefore, not tracked during the construction phase. Other commitments are tracked and “closed out” during the construction phase. When adequately addressed, these commitments are marked as “Completed” under the “Construction Status” field. A literal reading of each commitment was used in determining whether a commitment was tracked during design only or through the construction phase also.

Close-Out When a contract commitment is “closed out” in the design phase, this signifies that the commitment has been addressed in the design and that the commitment will not be tracked during construction. In this case a check mark is placed in the “Clsd Dsn” box (i.e. closed in design) in the database.

When a contract commitment is “closed out” in the construction phase, this signifies that the commitment has been addressed during construction. In this case a check mark is placed in the “Clsd Cns” box (i.e. closed in construction) in the database.

It should be noted that a contract commitment is either “closed out” during the design phase OR the construction phase, but never both.

Construction Phase Environmental Processes Compliance with program commitments is addressed through the contract documents, environmental permits, and construction phase environmental processes including but not limited to: CTDOT / CTDEEP MOU – On Site CTDEEP Representative, Inspection Reporting Process, Change to Work / Permit Revisions Process, Emergency Response Spill / Release Procedure, Environmental Review Meetings, MPT Meetings / Coordination Process, TMP Review and Updates, Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements, and Public Outreach.
