6 1 Travel Demand Analysis The purpose of this memo is to document the principal results and findings from the travel demand forecasts prepared for the Treasure Island Mobility Study. Detailed summaries of the model output were prepared for each model run and are available in Excel workbooks, archived along with the model input memoranda. The travel demand forecasts were prepared with the San Francisco Chained Activity Modeling Process (SF-CHAMP) as modified for this project in late 2013 through Certain outputs were post-processed as described below to account for project policies that cannot be modeled in CHAMP, or to adjust the results for reasonableness. The objective of the travel demand analysis is to develop toll traffic forecasts for Treasure Island in order to examine how travel demand changes under a variety of policy scenarios. 1.1 Baseline Assumptions The following section outlines the baseline assumptions used to develop the Treasure Island Mobility Study 2030 Baseline scenario, followed by the assumptions used for four additional toll policy scenarios Scenario Description A complete description of all the scenarios modeled is provided in the Model Inputs Memoranda prepared for each model run. All the travel demand forecasts were prepared for a 2030 horizon year. The 2030 Baseline Scenario is designed to reflect: a. The 2030 land use and population estimates from the Jobs-Housing Connection Strategy projection. b. The 2012 nine-county San Francisco Bay Area transportation infrastructure. c. Transportation system changes between 2012 and 2030 that occur in the model area as a result of other planned and foreseeable projects that are not part of the Treasure Island Transportation Improvement Plan (TITIP). d. The land use development and transportation plan described in the Treasure Island Transportation Improvement Plan (TITIP), in particular the Full Build-Out scenario. This scenario assumes 8,000 housing units and more than 800,000 square feet of commercial, office and community development on the ground by The TITIP calls for improved accessibility via transit to and within Treasure Island, priced visitor parking, and tolled access to and from Treasure Island, among other improvements. In addition to the 2030 Baseline, four Build Scenario travel demand forecasts were prepared and analyzed in order to understand the mobility impacts and system performance of different toll policies. The toll policies tested as part of this Study are shown in Table 1. The exact discounts applied under Scenarios 4 and 5 to Eastbay traffic and low income resident traffic are described in the corresponding model input memoranda. The low income toll was applied to Treasure Island residents that exhibit household income equal to or less than $34,000 in today s dollars, equivalent to $17,700 in $

In practice, start and end times of tolling periods could differ (e.g., 4-7 pm). 3 SF-CHAMP uses a pre-defined evening time period that extends from 6:30 PM 3 Am. In practice, the toll hours of operation would end earlier in the evening (e.g., 7:30 PM or 10:00 PM) 7

9 1.1.2 Land Use Regional Land Use This regional land use scenario reflects the Jobs-Housing Connections Strategy (JHCS), which is the Preferred Land Use Scenario for Plan Bay Area. Plan Bay Area is a joint effort led by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), as well as the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission. The JHCS land use revision was drafted by ABAG in April 2013 and revised again in September This scenario adopts the JHCS land use forecast for all Bay Area counties except San Francisco. For San Francisco County, the land use forecast is a refined version of the JHCS forecast prepared by the San Francisco Planning Department (SF Planning) Treasure Island Land Use According to the TITIP, at full build-out of the planned development in 2030, there will be 8,000 housing units in Treasure Island. JHCS projects an average household size of approximately 3.5 persons per household for Treasure Island, which is larger than the average household size for all of San Francisco, projected at approximately 2.4 persons per household. The project team determined that Treasure Island is more likely to exhibit dwelling unit occupancy patterns similar to San Francisco, and therefore an average of 2.36 persons per unit will be used to project Treasure Island population. The TITIP indicates that at full build-out there will be more than 800,000 square feet of commercial, office and community development (including adaptive reuse, excluding Jobs Corps and Coast Guard), and 500 hotel rooms. Table 2 lists the current 2030 residential, employment and commercial projections (SFCTA) and the planned development floor area (TITIP). 9

12 The TITIP assumes that residential parking will be sold separately from the residential units, and that on average the residential parking supply will not exceed one stall per residential unit, or 8,000 stalls total. To reflect this policy, SF-CHAMP was adjusted to meet the target auto ownership distribution shown in Table 3. The unconstrained distribution reflects the 2030 CHAMP forecast obtained assuming unlimited residential parking supply. Table 3: Treasure Island Residential Auto Ownership Share of Total Treasure Island Residential Units Auto Ownership Level Unconstrained Target 0 cars 30% 30% 1 car 29% 49% 2 cars 32% 16% 3+ cars 9% 5% Total autos (veh) 9,400 7, Base Network The base network for this project is 2012 existing conditions road and transit networks, as provided by SFCTA. Relevant projects from the San Francisco Transportation Plan (SFTP) 2040 baseline investment plan and the 2013 Regional Transportation Plan - Bay Area Plan are added to represent 2030 conditions of the regional road network outside of Treasure Island. The Treasure Island baseline transportation infrastructure reflects the TITIP assumptions Regional Road Network A full list of near-term and long-term projects that will impact the regional road network can be found in the Input Assumptions for Treasure Island Mobility Study 2030 Baseline memorandum Bridge Tolls Bridge tolls reflect the toll costs in 2010 except on the Golden Gate Bridge, where the toll costs reflect the planned 2018 tolls (Table 4). The travel demand forecasts use CHAMP s pre-identified time-of-day periods, which define the AM and PM peak periods as 6:00 AM -to 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, respectively. Those periods differ slightly from the anticipated toll hours of operation, although both assume three-hour peak periods. 12

Figure 2 shows the proposed ramp configuration (Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Redevelopment Project DEIR). The connectivity and level of service provided by these facilities will be included in the 2030 baseline. The eastbound on-ramp is being reconstructed as part of the East Span Seismic Safety Project. This ramp will be metered. The westbound on-ramp on the west side of Yerba Buena Island will be reconstructed. This ramp will be metered. The westbound on-ramp on the east side of Yerba Buena Island will be reserved for transit and emergency vehicles. This ramp will remain stop-controlled. 13

14 Figure 2: Proposed Treasure Island Ramp Configuration Source: Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Redevelopment Project Draft Environmental Impact Report The TITIP includes the following projects to encourage biking and walking on the Island: A comprehensive network of Class 1 and Class 2 bikeways will be built to provide access to all parts of the Island and connect to the pedestrian/bike path on the new East Span of Bay Bridge. Bicycle parking throughout the Island and a bicycle "library" for bicycle rentals to residents and visitors will also be provided. A pedestrian network consists of a hierarchical web of primary and secondary pedestrian routes will be built. It will be connected by a Bay Trail ringing around the Island and a series of smaller pedestrian paths filling in the remaining gaps Treasure Island Parking The 2030 Baseline reflects the following residential and visitor parking policies: At most one residential parking space per housing unit. This parking policy will be reflected in SF-CHAMP by restricting the number of vehicles owned by Treasure Island households to no more than 8,000 vehicles. Hourly parking cost of $1.50 for all visitors ($2010), with no daily maximum Treasure Island Tolls The 2030 Baseline scenario, which is based on TITIP assumptions, models the toll policies shown in Table 5. The peak periods used for demand forecasting purposes are pre-defined in CHAMP and differ slightly from the actual proposed toll hours of operation in each scenario. Federal government vehicle toll discounts/exemptions are not modeled. 14

At full build-out the Island will be served by a fleet of two ferries in operation. SFMTA will operate two bus routes to San Francisco - one between the Transit Hub on Treasure Island and the Transbay Terminal, and one between the Transit Hub and the Civic Center Area. AC Transit will operate a new direct bus service from Treasure Island to Oakland Civic Center, with two stops at Broadway/20th Street and Broadway/14th Street. A free on-island shuttle system will be provided for residents, employees, and visitors on Treasure Island, allowing for easy circulation around the Island and offering frequent connection to the Transit Hub for transit riders using the Transbay buses or ferry service. The shuttle would operate primarily on three routes, two serving primarily Treasure Island and one primarily serving Yerba Buena Island. Table 6 provides more details on the proposed transit service described above. 15

19 1.2 Findings Table 8 illustrates how each toll policy scenario (presented in Table 7) performs under the transportation plan performance measures established in the project description. All scenarios perform better than the baseline with fewer vehicles loaded onto the Bay Bridge, fewer vehicle-miles traveled, higher transit ridership and non-auto mode shares. The high demand for transit between Treasure Island and San Francisco results in high transit load factors, particularly for the MUNI 25 1 route to the Transbay Terminal. Scenario 4, which encompasses the most inclusive toll policy, performs the best. Scenario 4 observed the largest reduction in person trips, on/off Island vehicle trips, Island-generated vehicle-miles traveled, and Bay Bridge traffic volume. The inclusiveness of the toll policy also resulted in a large increase in toll transactions (tolls assessed, in addition, during the evening period and on 3+ person carpools). The low income toll discount somewhat worsens transportation performance in that it increases vehicle trips by 3.4% and vehicle miles traveled by 2.8%. In spite of the reduction in transit ridership, Scenario 5 meets the performance goal of at least a 50% non-auto mode split during peak periods. Table 8: Transportation Plan Performance Measures Policy Goal/Objective 1.Support walking and biking as primary modes 2. Discourage auto use via parking policies and pricing of driving 3. Create a disincentive for residents to use their cars for commute trips 4.

More than 80% of all the person trips have one trip-end outside Treasure Island. Non-residents account for approximately 20% of all the person trips, or 25% of the on/off Island trips. All the build scenarios result in fewer person trips relative to the baseline, both during peak and off-peak periods. As expected, as the toll and/or toll coverage increases, the number of person trips decreases. The largest reduction in person trips (-3%) is observed in Scenario 4, which exhibits the most comprehensive toll policy. Non-residents are more sensitive to toll increases than residents, particularly to peak period toll increases: the proportional decrease in person trips is higher for non-residents than for residents, and higher during the peak than for the entire day. Increasing the toll results in substitution of off-island destinations with on-island destinations, as evidenced by the increase in intra- Island trips forecasted for all the build scenarios relative to the baseline. 20

The largest reduction is observed under Scenario 4, corresponding to a reduction in on/off Island trips of approximately 4,800 vehicles, or 17% of the baseline vehicle trips. For the same scenario the VMT reduction is 13% of the Baseline VMT, indicating that trips shorter than the average trip length tend to decrease more with increasing tolls than the longer trips. The number of revenue toll transactions reflects the inclusiveness of the toll policy (i.e., who is tolled) as well as the amount of toll assessed. As expected, as the toll policy becomes more inclusive the number of toll transactions increase. This is reflected in the large increase in toll transactions observed in Scenario 2 (tolls assessed on non-residents and during midday period) and in Scenario 4 (tolls assessed, in addition, during the evening period and on 3+ person carpools). Similarly, as the average toll decreases the number of toll transactions increase. The effect of a toll decrease in toll transactions can be observed between Scenarios 4 and 5, since the only difference is a reduced toll assessed on low income travelers in Scenario 5. 21

First, CHAMP s transit capacity constraining procedure failed to keep Treasure Island boardings below or at capacity because the procedure does not apply to the first stop on a route, and therefore did not apply to the Treasure Island Transit Center stop, where the vast majority of boardings occur. Second, it was observed that the model shows Eastbay to San Francisco trips transferring from AC Transit Transbay routes to the MUNI 25 at the Treasure Island Transit Center (and vice-versa), a behavior that is not likely to occur in reality. The off-model procedure is applied as follows: i. The total number of transit trips between Treasure Island and San Francisco, and Treasure Island and Eastbay, is obtained from the CHAMP trip mode choice output. ii. Boardings on AC Transit are set equal to transit person trips between Eastbay and Treasure Island, by time period and direction iii. Treasure Island to San Francisco transit trips are distributed among the two MUNI routes and the ferry service in the same proportion as the CHAMP estimated boardings. In cases where this allocation resulted in more boardings than route capacity, the excess transit trips were assumed to use the ferry service. The only route with insufficient capacity to meet demand was the MUNI 108 in the AM period, westbound direction. Initial (CHAMP) and adjusted boardings for the Baseline Scenario are shown in Table 12, along with the transit trip and route capacity estimates which are used to revise the initial CHAMP boardings forecast. The same procedure was applied to all the scenarios. 22

The results shown in Table 13 and Table 14 do not reflect the corrective post-processing steps described above. The transit boardings 2 Route capacity per direction is calculated as vehicle capacity * (period duration in minutes) / headway. Vehicle capacities and headways are shown in Table 6. 23

24 estimates were constrained to available capacity off-model. Based on these forecasts the expectation is that at full build-out under any of these scenarios, including the baseline, the demand for transit to and from San Francisco in the peak commute directions will be near or at capacity.

As expected, the vast majority of intra-island trips, approximately 80% across all scenarios, are non-auto trips. The share of non-auto trips increases as the toll policy becomes more inclusive, and achieves the expected 50% minimum peak period target in Scenarios 4 and 5. The increase in transit trips results primarily due to shifts from carpooling to transit during the peak periods, and from drive alone and carpooling during the off-peak periods, relative to the baseline. In Scenarios 4 and 5, when the toll is applied to carpools, some low-income transit riders shift to driving, either alone or in carpools. 24

26 1.2.3 Household Income Discount Effects Scenario 5 examined the effect of a toll discount to low income residents on transportation system performance and toll revenues. As expected, Scenario 5 exhibits few differences in mode split among high income travelers relative to Scenario 4, since the same toll policy applied to high income households in both scenarios (Table 17). Among trips by low income travelers, there is a significant (7%) mode shift away from transit and 3+ person carpools, and towards drive alone and 2 person carpools, directly due to the low income toll discount. No change in mode split was observed among visitors, as expected since these travelers were exposed to the same toll policy in Scenario 5 as in Scenario 4. Table 17: Resident Person Trips Mode Split by Household Income Mode All Resident Trips Scenario 5 Scenario 4 Difference High Income Trips Low Income Trips All Resident Trips High Income Trips Low Income Trips All Resident Trips High Income Trips Drive Alone 22% 23% 14% 21% 22% 7% 1% 1% 7% Shared Ride 2 14% 14% 15% 14% 14% 12% 0% 0% 3% Shared Ride 3+ 10% 10% 7% 10% 10% 9% 0% 0% -2% Transit 34% 34% 40% 36% 35% 47% -2% -1% -7% Walk/Bike 20% 19% 24% 19% 19% 25% 1% 0% -1% Low Income Trips PERFORMANCE MEASURES Table 18 shows a comparison of transportation plan performance measures across all scenarios. All scenarios exhibit better performance measures than the baseline fewer vehicles loaded onto the Bay Bridge, fewer vehicle-miles traveled, higher transit ridership and non-auto mode shares. The high demand for transit between Treasure Island and San Francisco results in high transit load factors, particularly for the MUNI 108 route. The best performing scenario is Scenario 4, which corresponds to the most inclusive toll policy. The low income toll discount somewhat worsens transportation performance in that it increases vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled, albeit modestly (3.4% and 2.8%, respectively). In spite of the reduction in transit ridership, Scenario 5 meets the performance goal of at least 50% non-auto mode split during peak periods. 26

27 Table 18: Transportation Plan Performance Measures Policy Goal/Objective Performance Measure Performance Target 1.Support walking and biking as primary modes 2. Discourage auto use via parking policies and pricing of driving 3. Create a disincentive for residents to use their cars for commute trips 4.
