1 Waco Rapid Transit Corridor (RTC) Feasibility Study Chris Evilia, Director of Waco Metropolitan Planning Organization Allen Hunter, General Manager Waco Transit System Jimi Mitchell, Project Manager AECOM October 26, 2017 Waco MPO Policy Board Meeting

2 Study Objectives Rapid Transit Corridor (RTC) as a catalyst Increase the efficiency of WTS operations and decrease overall transit travel times Existing WTS System Support and promote regional economic growth Increase access to employment opportunities and critical services Develop an implementation strategy leverage available local, state and Federal funding opportunities 2

3 Developing an RTC Step 1: Assess existing conditions Where are people coming from and where are they going? What are the primary travel corridors and roadways? How will the RTC support existing transit? Step 2: Develop potential solutions and evaluation metrics What are the right infrastructure, technology and service components? What are the effects to riders, stakeholders, and transportation providers? How much will the solutions cost to implement and operate? Step 3: Select a locally preferred alternative (LPA) Is this what the community wants? How do we pay for it? 3

4 Step 2: Infrastructure & Technology Alternatives Components and operational characteristics Frequent service (< 15 minutes) Partially dedicated facilities (lanes) Premium, rail-like stations Longer stop spacing (0.5 to 1 mile) Branding Higher capacity vehicles (seating up to 60) On-board technologies (i.e. payment options) curbside technologies (i.e. information displays) 5

5 Step 3: Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) Project-specific website Stakeholder Charrette Workshop June 2017 Advisory Committees (Quarterly) RTC Project Steering Committee WTS Technical Advisory Committee MPO Technical Committee and Policy Board Public Preference Survey (July Sept 2017) Existing riders and online Inform development of Alternatives Public Open House (Nov) Draft Alternatives and evaluation approach / data 6

6 Public Preference Survey and Definition of Alternatives Waco RTC Feasibility Study

7 RTC Public Preference Survey Results Roughly 200 responders June 15 thru Sept 4 Public Preferences Alignment Station shelter type Station amenities Reasons for using transit Trip Attractions / Destinations 8

8 Preliminary Alignment Segments RTC Corridor divided into 4 segments North River Segment A Taylor Street / Bus US 77 (54) B Taylor Street / Bellmead Drive (55) 44% 28% 28% North Extension Segment A Bus US 77 to Crest Drive (67) B US 84 to Air Base Road (28) C Bellmead Drive / US 84 to Loop 340 (98) 51% 35% 15% C US 84 / Waco Drive (86) Downtown Segment South Segment A Franklin Avenue (91) B LaSalle Avenue (40) C US 84 / Waco Drive (66) 34% 20% 46% 10

9 Preferred Station Amenities Arrival Information Bike Storage Trash Cans Newspaper Pedestrian Safety Public WiFi Route Information Landscaping Bike Share Bike Repair Device Charging Ticket Vending Area information Emergency Call Box Safety Infrastructure 1 st Tier 2 nd Tier Total: 133 responses 13

10 Conceptual RTC Stations Right Sizing Elements Sense of place, comfort, safety, information Ridership demand Minimize cost & impacts Lane or pull out bay Sidewalk and station platform Adjacent property 14

11 Evaluation of Alternatives Waco RTC Feasibility Study

12 Alternative Evaluation Criteria Comparative benefits and impacts between 3 alignment alternatives Focused on preliminary station locations and opportunities for dedicated transit lanes Mobility Impacts Potential Ridership Economic Development Potential Safety Capital and Operating Costs Community Support 16

13 RTC Alignment Alternatives Alignment 1 Alignment 2 Alignment 3 US 84 Valley Mills Franklin Taylor / Hillsboro B 77 to Crest (TSTC) US 84 Valley Mills Franklin Taylor / Hillsboro US 84 to Loop 340 US 84 Waco Dr. Taylor / Hillsboro B 77 to Crest (TSTC) 14.3 Miles 13.0 Miles 14.1 Miles 17

14 Evaluation Process Quantitative Analysis Identify best performers for each criteria/sub-criteria using natural breakpoints High: best performing (Value of 5) Medium: moderate performing (Value of 3) Low: lower performing (Value of 1) Sub criteria results averaged to get summary rating for each criteria High Medium Low Example: Alignment 1 Alignment 2 Alignment 3 19

15 Preliminary Evaluation Results Criteria Alignment 1 Alignment 2 Alignment 3 Mobility Impacts Medium Medium Medium System / RTC Ridership (year) 3,550 / 780 (2023) 3,500 / 790 (2023) 3,600 / 860 (2023) 4,150 / 860 (2040) 4,100 / 850 (2040) 4,200 / 950 (2040) Economic Development Medium High Low Safety High High Medium (Conceptual) Cost $20 M $22 M $18.5 M $20 M $17 M $18.5 M Community Support TBD TBD TBD Overall Rating (Aggregate) Medium High Medium Alternative 2 rated highest US 84 Valley Mills Franklin Taylor / Hillsboro US 84 to Loop

16 Franklin/Washington: Cross Section Analysis 1-way Couplet Benefits and Impacts More affected intersections More pedestrian treatments Increased cost Diffused parking impacts for dedicated transit lanes One side only, both streets Spread the wealth between two streets Subject to peak period travel patterns 21

17 Franklin/Washington: Cross Section Analysis 2 way Conversion Benefits and Impacts Capacity on parallel streets Designate corridors for transit, bike, pedestrian or auto Cost savings Fewer intersections & infrastructure Efficient transit operations and passenger wayfinding All day traffic vs peak only 22

18 Potential DT Station Area Impacts Curbside Bulb Out Bus Pullout Bay Safety feature for passenger boarding Safety feature to maintain thru traffic at stations Passing lane needed Shorten intersection crossing distances Parking lane or shoulder impacts Difficult for bus operators to merge Parking lane or shoulder impacts High speed or congestion 23

19 Franklin vs Franklin/Washington Preliminary Evaluation Results Criteria Franklin 2-way Franklin / Washington Couplet Mobility Impacts Medium Low Ridership N/A N/A Economic Development High High Safety High Medium Cost $ $$ Community Support TBD TBD Overall Rating (Aggregate) High Medium 2-way operations on Franklin recommended 24

20 Draft Evaluation Results Top Performer: Alternative #2 US 84 Franklin Ave Taylor / Hillsboro US 84 & Loop way operation on Franklin 15 preliminary station locations (13 mi) Modular (right-sized) station design Passenger information, safety, comfort Potential ridership (system / RTC) 3,500 / 800 (year 2023) 4,100 / 850 (year 2040) 1-way travel times: TBD min Conceptual capital costs: $ Future local bus network modifications 25

21 Proposed Daily Service Frequencies RTC Local Bus MONDAY FRIDAY: From 06:00 09:00 (15 min) From 09:00 15:00 (20 min) From 15:00 18:00 (15 min) From 18:00 20:00 (20 min) From 20:00 22:00 (30 min) MONDAY FRIDAY: From 05:15 to 19:15 (30 min) SATURDAY: From 07:00 22:00 (30 min) SATURDAY: From 06:15 20:15 (30 min) SUNDAY: From 07:00 19:00 (30 min) SUNDAY: From 7:00 19:00 (60 min) Annual O&M cost approximately $3.5M to $4M Additional O&M cost TBD 26
