3 Public Involvement Agency Coordination Meeting November 14, 2008 Public Meeting November 18, 2008 & May 12, 2009 Community Working Group Meetings January 27, 2009 & April 28, 2009 Agency Working Group Meetings January 27, 2009 & April 28, 2009 Traffic Working Group Meetings June 6, 2008 December 15, 2008 March 16, 2009 Small Group Meetings held on request 3

4 Project Overview BRT service from Marion Transit Center to Future Park & Ride near Hidden River / Telecom Park area of I-75 Limited stops, higher frequency, modern station stops and advanced technology Improve ridership and attract t choice-riders with autocompetitive travel times 4

5 Project Overview Length: 17.5 miles Stations: 26 each way (Not including Marion Street Transitway, Telecom / Hidden River or Park & Ride) Jurisdictions: 4 FDOT Hillsborough County City of Tampa City of Temple Terrace 5

6 Project Overview PD&E Study Underway Draft Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) Completed and Submitted for Review Evaluated and Identified Station Locations and Footprints Evaluated and Identified Station Potential Impacts to R/W, Utilities, Access, etc. Evaluated Queue Jump Lanes Estimated Project Costs Available on HART s Website: Obtain Project Approvals Document for Final Design Activities 6

7 Project Overview Concurrent Traffic Analysis Completed Data Collection Activities Determined Design Traffic for Use in Analysis Developed TSP Operating Parameters Building VISSIM Model Modeling Route for Time Savings / Impacts Determining Hardware / Software Capabilities and Potential Modifications Developing Timing Plans for Intersections 7

8 Project Overview BRT Service Plan 14 hour service 5:30 am to 7:30 pm - tentatively 10 minute headways peak 15 minute headways non-peak Weekday service Local Service Route 2 30 minute headways Service: 20.5 hrs - 4:30 am to 12:45 am UATC to Park & Ride under consideration 20% (Estimated) Time Savings with TSP and limited stops! 8
