22 Preliminary Ridership Projections 22

23 Forecasting Methodology Use of Central Florida Regional Planning Model (CFRPM) Use of FTA s Simplified Trips On Project Software (STOPS) FTA New/Small Starts Evaluation Criteria Project Justification and Local Financial Commitment 23

24 Forecasting Methodology CFRPM/STOPS Details Updated socioeconomic data to reflect what is in the 2040 LRTP Updated transit networks to reflect 2015 LYNX and Votran systems SunRail Phase 2 North and South included as part of the No Build 24

25 FTA New/Small Starts Evaluation Criteria Final rule enacted April Updated reporting instructions August 2015 Project evaluation can be done using current year forecasts, or an average of current year and horizon year forecasts Project ratings are among most rigorous ratings in government, and important to Congress and local communities 25

26 Major Ratings Overall, Project Justification, and Local Financial Commitment Overall is an average of project justification and financial commitment Each can be High, Medium-High, Medium, Medium- Low, or Low Medium overall rating requires at least: Medium project justification rating, and Medium local financial commitment 26

27 Project Justification Rating Un-weighted average of 6 categories: Mobility Cost-effectiveness Congestion relief Environmental benefits Land use Economic development 27

28 Project Justification Criteria Evaluated to Date Mobility: Weighted linked trips on the project (2 x transit-dependent trips)+(non-transit-dependent trips) Cost effectiveness: Annualized federal capital share per trip on the project Congestion relief: New daily linked trips in the region Environmental benefits: Change in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) 28
