• Relatively low gas prices contribute to increase personal vehicle availability and use Transportation Network Companies (TNC)
• Data on local TNC use is limited, and there is disagreement over the effect of TNCs on transit. – Compete with transit – Complement transit • TNC use is widespread but infrequent – Frequent TNC use is less common than frequent transit use or frequent driving. – Most TNC users are not core transit users, and most TNC trips are not core transit trips. TNCs: Compete vs. Complement Transit
• Transit travel and wait times among top concerns for replacement of transit trips with TNC trips – In a TCRP survey of four agencies, up to 39% of TNC trips could have taken place on transit, while 16% connected to transit (TCRP Report 188) • TNCs can serve as one part of the transportation menu to fill gaps and serve specific needs. – TNC usage is a form of increased vehicle availability, and continued TNC growth could make a bigger dent on transit use. – Opportunities to utilize TNCs as first/last mile connectors.

NCTD Board Retreat LAND USE AND TRANSIT INTEGRATION STUDY February 9, 2019 2 IMPORTANCE OF TRANSIT AND LAND USE CONNECTIVITY
Land use and Transportation Connection • Land uses affect the environment, define where we live and work, interact with one another, and depend on transportation and infrastructure in order to function • Location, type, and density of land uses often dictates the type of transportation services that are offered
Why Transit and Land Use Connections Matters? • Improves access to jobs and economic opportunities • Meets equitable needs for transportation • Encourages diverse mode share • Reduces greenhouse gases (GHG) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
