DELAWARE VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION

Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of , in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in . DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission.

Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey.

DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for its findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies.

INTERMODAL PASSENGER SYSTEM SURVEY - PHASE III A working document 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DVRPC staff identified 55 key intermodal passenger terminals to examine change of mode conditions that may affect or support intermodal passenger travel in the region. Staff subsequently developed a systematic phased work program to evaluate 38 of these terminals. In Phases I, II, and III, inventories and evaluations were performed over three years at 37 facilities to provide information on station amenities, interconnecting services, highway access and parking characteristics. This report summarizes the third phase of work, which addresses six facilities1.

The inventory of facilities included in the third phase includes three SEPTA regional rail stations, one SEPTA subway station, one potential SEPTA bus terminal, and one park- and-ride lot owned and maintained by PennDOT.

Fact sheets have been prepared for each facility, and are shown in the Appendix. Each facility’s fact sheet provides: • an aerial view of the station or lot (DVRPC’s 2000 digital aerial photography) • an inventory of interconnecting modes, parking availability and amenities • a map of the commuter parking shed surrounding the station or lot

A summary of Findings-to-Date has been prepared, and can be found in Table 4. The preliminary recommendations have been developed from data collected through the first three phases of the work program. Each phase was summarized into a report—prepared as a working document. Presentation in this manner provided member governments and agencies the opportunity to continually review, remark, and supply inputs to the system and performance data for evaluation.

Phase IV will complete the initial inventory and summarize the overall effort with a candidate action plan to improve vehicular access and passenger transfer conditions for a selected subset of the inventory.

The work was conducted through the Intermodal Facilities Management System (IMS) element of DVRPC’s annual planning work program. The IMS was one of six

INTRODUCTION

The work, presented in this report, assesses an inventory of operating conditions in and around key intermodal passenger terminals in the Delaware Valley. Intermodal passenger terminals are components of the transportation system that facilitate the transfer of people between modes of travel. Examples of intermodal passenger terminals in this region include train and bus stations, airports, and park-and-ride lots.

This report is Phase III of a four phase program that is systematically inventorying and analyzing passenger transfer conditions at train stations and park-and-ride lots in the region. The initial three phases consisted of collecting data, and providing sketch planning data to evaluate 37 passenger terminals. The final terminal—Trenton Station—will be assessed in Phase IV.

Major elements included in the inventory are: • commuter parking shed areas surrounding the station; • connecting highways and interconnecting transit services that serve the approach and departure of customers within that shed; • circulation conditions on the station premises; and • parking availability at the station.

The first three phases have been summarized as working documents to elicit review and input by member agencies. DVRPC staff has taken advantage of the working nature of the reports to integrate missing data, or products emanating from the forthcoming Region-wide Transportation GIS Project—notably bus route alignments through the shed areas. Phase IV will summarize the evaluation steps and will recommend improvements for accessing and transferring at a selected subset of the terminals.

The Report Phase III addresses six passenger terminals, including three SEPTA Regional Rail stations, one SEPTA subway station, one potential SEPTA bus terminal, and a PennDOT park-and-ride lot. The report’s major products are contained in the Appendix, wherein, for each terminal, major elements are inventoried or mapped, and aerial photos of the terminal area are provided. INTERMODAL PASSENGER SYSTEM SURVEY - PHASE III 4 A working document

THE INTERMODAL PASSENGER SYSTEM

Multiple modal choices are available to travelers in the Delaware Valley. The region contains a dense network of bus and rail services, as well as three major airports.

Figure 1 identifies the overarching system including regional, high-speed and light rail systems, the National Highway System, and park-and-ride lots. On the figure, 55 regionally significant intermodal passenger terminals, which were initially considered for inclusion in this study, are identified. From that inventory, 17 facilities were recognized to be undergoing site-specific evaluations, and/or were judged to be beyond the scope of this work. Table 1 corresponds with Figure 1, and indicates the particular phase in which the terminal surveys have been performed. Phase III, the current year’s work program, addresses six of the listed terminals.

Bases for Network Evaluations Detailed inventories conducted for each terminal, are presented on fact sheets in the Appendix. The fact sheets provide the basis for subsequent performance evaluations and recommendations employing: 1. Aerial mapping of the terminal area. These provide a sense of the size of the location, the environment surrounding the facility, the alignment of roadways serving the facility, and possible areas for parking expansion. 2. Inventories of: a. Station boarding activity and interconnecting transit services, when available from the operator; b. Parking conditions: current supply and demand relationships, a near term future that considers committed parking expansions, and planning level estimates of future parking demand changes at the station or at the park-and- ride lot. The estimates were computed assuming forecasted changes in population within the shed areas of the station (see item 3, page 8); c. Amenities on the station premises that contribute to smooth transfer between modes. These include shelters for transfers, lights, kiss-and-ride loops / short-term parking areas, bike racks, and opportunities for parking expansion. Page MAP/FIGURE -01

3. Maps displaying commuter parking shed areas surrounding the station. The shed maps represent the geocoded2 addresses for registered owners of parked cars at the station. These were obtained through license plate surveys at the parking lot, and through the help of PennDOT and NJDOT staff and their tag interrogation processes.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

The data collected and provided in this report provides a basis for identifying deficiencies and preliminarily identifying improvement recommendations. As the data inventory will expand, the key evaluation criteria at this point are parking conditions.

Parking Conditions Table 2 provides a summary tabulation of parking conditions at the stations, and suggests which may be candidates for inclusion in Phase IV.

Existing parking supply and demand were obtained from SEPTA, and counts performed by DVRPC. Future parking supply was obtained from the owners, and indicates where expansions are budgeted and programmed for implementation in the near future.

Parking demand projections for each of the station sheds were prepared especially for this study. In those cases, proportioned population changes between the US 2000 Census and DVRPC’s Board-adopted Year 2025 municipal population forecasts, within the shed, were applied to current station parking demands. It should be noted that the projections are quick, planning-level estimates, which do not include the possible effects of diverted or latent parking demands, or service changes on the intersecting public transportation lines.

In the table, unshaded cells indicate stations with adequate parking supplies. In Phases I and II, cells were shaded yellow to represent those stations that may experience minimal parking shortages in the foreseeable future (e.g., 10 to 100 spaces). Similarly, orange-shaded cells indicated stations with a future parking deficiency of 100 or more spaces – but are adjacent to stations with a current surplus of parking spaces. Cells were also shaded red to denote a projected future parking deficiency of 100 or more spaces, but without surplus parking spaces at adjacent stations. In this phase, all studied station locations have an ample parking supply for the future.

Examining the results contained in Table 2 indicates that none of the six locations examined in Phase III are likely to experience an undesirable parking deficiency in the foreseeable future. Population in the shed area of these stations is not forecasted to increase significantly, thus future projected parking demand does not exceed current parking supply. On the other hand, it is possible that current parking demand counts are understated where neighborhood streets, such as at Wissahickon Station, or adjacent lots, such as at Pattison Station, may bear the overflow. Additional improvements, expansions, and amenities at any station could yield more riders or better accommodate existing users. INTERMODAL PASSENGER SYSTEM SURVEY - PHASE III 10 A working document

For monitoring purposes, the future West Chester Transit Center was included in this phase. The center will be located on the ground level of a new Chester County parking garage, adjacent to the proposed Justice Center, in the block surrounded by Miner Street, Darlington Street, Market Street and New Street. The transit center will be served by four SEPTA bus routes, and at least one privately operated bus route. It will be used by commuters arriving in West Chester for work, riders traveling throughout Chester County, or to SEPTA’s 69th Street Terminal and points in between. The project is currently in the design stages, and the expected parking supply to be allotted in the transit center is about 100 spaces.

Locations for Further Study The parking evaluations conducted in Phases I, II and III provided a basis for prioritizing stations that should be considered for further study. Table 3 lists all the stations that should be considered, in three priority categories. First Priority stations have a projected future parking deficiency of 100 or more spaces – and there are currently no available parking spaces at adjacent stations. Second Priority stations have a future parking deficiency of 100 or more spaces – but have adjacent stations with a current surplus of parking spaces. Third Priority stations may experience minimal parking shortages in the foreseeable future (e.g., 10 to 100 spaces).

Phase IV of this series will further develop opportunities to ameliorate parking deficiencies at these stations. Where more land is not available for parking lots, structured parking may be considered. Alternatively, steps will be identified toward improving bus services, or paths that serve pedestrians and bikes, between the station and its shed – in an effort to capture more users.

Findings-to-Date As the first three phases have been completed, preliminary improvement recommendations have been tabulated for the studied locations on Table 4. The improvements emanated from all inventoried and evaluated performance items. Improvement types cited in the table range from constructing pedestrian walkway improvements and installing bike racks, to expanding parking lots and building parking structures.

Phase IV will present a candidate improvement program for the final set of recommendations. INTERMODAL PASSENGER SYSTEM SURVEY - PHASE III A working document 11

NEXT STEPS

During Fiscal Year ‘05, Phase IV work will be initiated. It will consist of an evaluation of the Trenton SEPTA / NJ Transit / Station, and preparation of a candidate improvement program to incorporate the findings of the complete study effort.

An evaluation matrix (Table 4) has been prepared, which summarizes all inventoried and evaluated performance items across the three initial phases, to guide the work to be conducted in Phase IV. The table should continue to be updated as new data becomes available.

An open review and comment process has been established throughout the three initial phases. Member government and agency staff should continue to review and comment on the work products, including but not limited to: the network, the performance criteria and evaluations. Where possible, interested parties should submit outstanding or updated data items. G

Publication Abstract

Title: Intermodal Passenger System Survey, Phase III Date Published June 2004 A working document Publication No. 04026

Geographic Area Covered: the Delaware Valley Region comprising: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey.

Key Words: intermodal passenger terminals, intermodal transfer, National Highway System (NHS), park- and-ride lot, parking conditions, commuter parking shed area, station amenities

ABSTRACT

DVRPC staff identified a network of 55 regionally significant intermodal passenger terminals in the Delaware Valley Region. The network consists of airports, train and bus stations, and park-and-ride lots. Staff subsequently developed a systematic phased work program for evaluating passenger transfer conditions at 38 locations. Ultimately, the fourth and final phase will prepare an action plan to improve access and circulation conditions at a selected subset of these.

This report represents the third phase of the work program and summarizes evaluations at six sites, including three SEPTA regional rail stations, one SEPTA subway station, a potential SEPTA bus terminal and one park-and-ride lot owned and maintained by PennDOT. The data collection effort provides: aerial photographs of the terminal area, inventories of station amenities including parking availability and interconnecting modes, and commuter parking shed maps for each facility. Conditions for each passenger terminal are summarized on fact sheets contained in the Appendix. A Findings-to-Date matrix is incorporated, which identifies major conclusions of the current work, and the preceding Phase I and Phase II efforts (completed in June 2002 and June 2003, respectively). Findings of the Phase III report indicate that existing parking supplies at the studied locations will adequately accommodate parking demands for the foreseeable future.

This report, as was true for its predecessors, is intended to be a working document—to elicit participation from the staff of member governments and agencies.
