4 Commuting Patterns Many in southeast Michigan don t live in the same community as their job. 72% OF PEOPLE WHO WORK IN DETROIT DON T LIVE IN THE CITY 62% OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN DETROIT WORK OUTSIDE THE CITY 4

5 Transit Dependence The percent of transitdependent households in southeast Michigan is increasing faster than anywhere else in the country. ONLY ONE OUT OF THREE ADULTS OWNS A CAR IN DETROIT This Means TWO-THIRDS OF ADULTS RELY ON TRANSIT AND OTHER MEANS TO GET AROUND Source: Detroit Free Press Source: University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute 5

6 Transit Providers Southeast Michigan is served by multiple transit providers, including DDOT, SMART, AAATA (TheRide), and the Detroit People Mover (DTC). Once operational in late 2016, M-1 RAIL will be the fifth transit provider in the region. 6

7 Existing Service 7

8 Accessing Jobs With Transit Many people rely on transit to move throughout southeast Michigan, but they often have difficulty getting where they need to go. 34 OUT TH OF THE 46 LARGEST METRO AREAS WHEN IT COMES TO JOBS ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC TRANSIT THE TYPICAL WORKER CAN REACH ONLY 3% OF JOBS IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN WITHIN AN HOUR USING TRANSIT Source: University of Minnesota: Access Across America: Transit

9 What Does This All Mean? All of this means an increasing number of people in southeast Michigan have a difficult time getting to where they need to go. When people can t get to where jobs are, everyone in southeast Michigan suffers. This lack of job access harms our regional economy through lost productivity, lost wages, and lower tax revenues. 9

10 Introducing Rapid Transit

11 Various Forms of Transit STREETCAR Strong development catalyst for urban neighborhoods Medium capital cost per mile HEAVY RAIL Large urban regions, strong development catalyst Very high capital cost per mile BUS RAPID TRANSIT Faster, more inviting service than typical bus. Low capital cost per mile LIGHT RAIL Connects downtowns with suburban job centers High capital cost per mile COMMUTER RAIL Connects suburban areas with dense employment centers Low capital cost per mile The best choice of transit depends on the unique needs and opportunities of the community. 11

12 Bus Rapid Transit BRT lines include provide faster and more inviting service than typical bus routes, including high-quality stations and dedicated lanes. Their low capital cost makes them increasingly popular. The wide arterial roads throughout southeast Michigan are ideal for a BRT system to connect the region. Level Boarding Premium Stations Pre-Payment Bus-Only Lanes Traffic Signal Priority Limited Stops On-Board Amenities Next Bus Information Unique Branding 12

13 How Rapid Transit Can Help Us

14 Better For Business When communities invest in transit, businesses gain a better workforce. Reliable transit reduces employee turnover. Transit investments don t just help workers find jobs, it helps business keep the employees they find. $10 FOR EVERY PER CAPITA SPENT ON TRANSIT, EMPLOYEE TURNOVER FELL.3%. Source: Urban Studies 14

15 Reduces Congestion Transit helps all commuters get to work faster, not just transit riders. 1 RAPID TRANSIT VEHICLE CAN REDUCE ROAD CONGESTION BY 60 VEHICLES. Source: Sustainable Pittsburgh, gettherepgh.org 65 HOURS RIDING BRT WOULD SAVE THE AVERAGE COMMUTER PER YEAR Source: Ashland BRT 15

16 Improves Public Health Transit promotes healthy communities and active lifestyles. WALKABLE, BIKABLE, TRANSIT-ORIENTED COMMUNITIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MORE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FEWER TRAFFIC INJURIES LESS AIR POLLUTION IMPROVED MOBILITY FOR NON-DRIVERS 16

17 Environmental Impacts Transportation that is good for the environment is also good for the economy. Reduces emissions. Reduces our carbon footprint. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN THE U.S. SAVES 11.5 M GALLONS OF GASOLINE EVERY DAY. Source: Miami Dade County Transit 17

18 Leads To New Investment Investments in transit often lead to new private investment. FOR EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION $4 ARE GENERATED IN ECONOMIC RETURNS Source: American Public Transportation Association 18

19 M-1 RAIL Before opening, investment in the M-1 Rail streetcar on Woodward Avenue is paying off. 130 TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) PROJECTS OVER ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY, WITH MORE COMING. $3 OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS BILLION IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING 10,000 NEW HOUSING UNITS AND OVER 5 MILLION SqFt OF NEW COMMERCIAL SPACE.

20 Planning For The Next Generation A high quality transit system makes it easier to attract and retain talent, and meet the needs of an aging population. Millennials Aging Baby Boomers Seniors 66% 83% OF OF MILLENNIALS SAID ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY TRANSIT WAS ONE OF THEIR TOP THREE PRIORITIES WHEN CONSIDERING WHERE TO LIVE.

21 How We Stack Up

22 Transit Frequency Most routes in the region are too infrequent to be useful to anyone with other options for getting around. 10 MIN VERY CONVENIENT 15 MIN REASONABLY CONVENIENT 30 MIN TOO INFREQUENT FOR THOSE WITH OTHER OPTIONS 60 MIN TOO INCONVENIENT FOR ANYONE WITH OTHER OPTIONS 22

23 Transit Investment Southeast Michigan does not invest in transit the way similar regions do. Fifth largest region in the U.S. 23 rd in transit service 21 st in transit spending Peer cities such as Dallas, Cleveland, Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Baltimore spend between $100 and $140 per capita. THE TOP 25 METROPOLITAN AREAS AVERAGE $184 PER CAPITA ON TRANSIT EACH YEAR. SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN SPENDS JUST $75 PER CAPITA ANNUALLY ON TRANSIT.

24 What are We Doing About This?

25 BEST: Regional Master Transit Plan 25

26 A Transit Vision For All Of Us A regional transit vision for southeast Michigan guiding how we expand and improve transit in southeast Michigan over the next twenty years. The plan will: Explain what will happen if nothing changes. Assess the transit needs of southeast Michigan. Recommend future transit services to meet these needs. Identify a realistic funding and implementation strategy to make these regional transit investments a reality. 26

27 Outcomes Of The Plan The BEST: Regional Master Transit Plan will lay the groundwork for a regional transit system in southeast Michigan that works for everyone. Just imagine: Reliable transit service so you ll always be able to make it to work, school, the doctor, shopping, and back home again. Increased coordination between the existing transit providers. High-quality rapid transit along major corridors so you can quickly move through the region. 27

28 Regional Plan Schedule 28

29 BEST: Corridor Studies 29

30 Why These Corridors? RTA legislation identified these corridors as initial rapid transit lines. They already have high transit ridership and great potential to increase future ridership. Links to major communities. Connects many destinations. Potential to benefit many people. 30

31 BEST: Woodward Avenue A previously completed study resulted in a locally preferred transit alternative of Bus Rapid Transit. 31

32 Public Involvement 18 public meetings were held in various communities along the corridor: 7 meetings in December meetings in April meetings in December

33 Review of LPA 27 miles of contiguous service (service to 11 communities) 26 stations (typical 1-mile spacing) 13 miles median-center 8.5 miles median-edge 5.5 miles edge 33

34 BEST: Gratiot Avenue 34
