1 UTA Transportation Equity Study and Staff Analysis Board Workshop January 6,

2 Executive Summary UTA ranks DART 6 th out of top 20 Transit Agencies in the country for ridership. UTA Study confirms what we all know about our region and parts of our service area -- there is low density for jobs and population, especially south of I-30. UTA calculates Transportation Costs as the sum of automobile ownership costs, automotive use costs, and transit use costs, not just transit costs. UTA confirms DART costs (fares including proposed fare increase) are affordable. UTA Study shows 97% of a 2,200 square mile area of the Region (including DART s 700 square mile service area) cannot afford transportation costs, but 100% can afford DART s transit costs. 2

3 Executive Summary Continued UTA Study emphasizes that low income and no car households are primarily in Southern Dallas, when in fact there are numerous low income and no car areas in the DART Service Area and the Region. While the UTA Study isn t clear about the percentage of population with transit access based upon ¼ mile walk distance (report shows both 63% and 71% in different parts of the study), the access would increase to 73% or 76% if the DART On-Call services were included. Using a ½ mile walk distance, which is more traditional in the transit industry, the population served increases to 91%. DART s analysis shows 77% of jobs with the DART Service Area are accessible by transit (including On-Call) using a 1/4 mile walk distance and 92% of jobs with the DART Service Area are accessible within ½ mile from transit. UTA Study validates the very low employment density in South Dallas. 3

4 Executive Summary Continued DART s service standards (and many US transit systems) define 15-minute bus and rail service as high frequency. UTA s definitions were based upon an academic study of the highest density US, European and Asian systems which classify 15-minute service as medium frequency. UTA s Study provides little to no discussion on land use responsibilities, transportation planning activities to leverage transit investments, or City infrastructure investments needed to support efficient transit. DART provides access to hundreds of thousands of jobs within 60-minute travel time. The average automobile travel time within the City of Dallas is nearly 30-minutes. UTA Study does not reference DART s Innovative Services approaches as solutions to move people to and from jobs including On-Call and Mobility on Demand services. 4

5 Programmed Improvements to DART Service Responsive to the UTA Study Assessment 2018 implementation of an account based fare structure designed to allow low income persons to obtain monthly fare discounts when paying daily Midday and weekend bus frequency improvements scheduled March Expansion of On-Call (Go Link) service in Southern Sector 2018 Pilot Testing of Shared Mobility Services in Plano and Southern Sector without fixed route options 2018 Pilot testing of new generation of carpooling APP which will assist in expanding mobility for DART residents to jobs centers beyond the DART Service Area 2019 Purchase of 41 buses to expand DART s high frequency bus network Commitment of over $13 million to improve bus service on weekends, midday, evenings and peak periods to increase transit access 5

6 UTA Study Equity Factors Transportation and transit affordability Location efficiency in Dallas and the DART Service Area Definition of transit coverage based upon ¼ mile walk buffer Definition of frequent transit service Job access by using 45 minute travel time criterion 6

7 UTA Study Equity Factors - Transportation is Unaffordable UTA Definition of Transportation cost --- annual sum of automobile capital and operating costs plus transit costs HUD s Definition of Transportation Affordability Threshold --- annual costs exceed 15% of the household income Based upon the DFW region s median household annual income ($58,356) transportation is unaffordable for most of region s households DART questions the accuracy of UTA s calculation for regional affordability 7

8 UTA Study Equity Factors - Transit is affordable in Dallas UTA s study stated that DART fare affordability is not the major barrier to transit use in Dallas even for low income persons A low-income household will spend on average about 10% or less of its income using the local transit fare day pass only A low-income household will spend approximately 6% of its income on transit fare using the monthly pass exclusively A low-income household will spend less than 3% of its income if eligible for the reduced fare program Low income persons using the regional fare exclusively will still spend less that the transportation affordability threshold UTA researchers determined that DART s fare structure and proposed fare structure do not exceed the HUD transportation affordability threshold 8

9 UTA Study Equity Factors Dallas is location inefficient The City of Dallas is characterized by low location efficiency which is generally not supportive of the most efficient public transit Location efficient neighborhoods are characterized by the following Urban population density 17+ persons per gross acre Urban Employment density 17+ jobs per gross acre Mixed development retail, medical, schools, government, etc. Low income parts of Southern Dallas have very low location efficiency which is much more suburban in characteristic than urban 6 to 10 persons per gross acre is typical in Southern Dallas 0-5 jobs per gross acre is typical in southern Dallas Low levels of retail and other business in the Southern Sector 9

10 UTA Study Equity Factors Dallas is location inefficient continued Location inefficiency reduces bus and rail cost effectiveness in southern Dallas The low transit ridership per capita and per mile was pointed out by UTA UTA did not link the connection between low density and low location efficiency in much of the DART Service Area with the transit measures of effectiveness and efficiency The UTA analysis confirms that areas with a large population below the poverty level particularly in south Dallas receive better transit coverage and more frequent transit availability than other areas in the service area 10

15 UTA Study Equity Factors - Transit Coverage UTA Study states that 63% of the population of the City of Dallas is covered by transit if they are within ¼ mile from a bus stop DART uses a ½ mile transit walk distance because it is a more accurate reflection of transit usage by DART riders DART origin destination surveys verify that many transit riders frequently walk up to ½ mile to a bus stop UTA did not reflect transit access provided by DART On-Call services 91% of population is within ½ mile of a transit stop 92% of jobs are within ½ mile of a transit stop 15

17 17

18 UTA Study Equity Factors - Definition of Frequent Transit Service UTA researchers defined frequent service as follows: Transit Frequency Average Headway High More than 10 Services per Hour Less than 6 min Medium 4-10 Services per Hour From 6 min to 15 min Low Less than 2-4 Services per Hour More than 15 min-30 Very low Less than 2 Services per Hour More than 30 min Transit deserts No Service No operation UTA used research based upon frequency comparisons with Europe and Asia which have dramatically higher density, much higher gasoline prices and significant constraints on parking within the urbanized areas 18

19 UTA Study Equity Factors - Definition of Frequent Transit Service Continued DART defines service frequency as follows: Transit Frequency Average Headway Very High 8 trips or more per hour 7.5 minute frequency or better High 4 trips to 7 trips per hour More than 7.5 minutes to 15 minute frequency Medium 2 3 Services per Hour More than 15 min to 30 min Low Less than 2 Services per Hour More than 30 min to 60 minutes Transit deserts No Service No operation Across the United Stations in cities outside of New York and San Francisco, high frequency is typically defined as four (4) trips per hour. A major focus on DART s COA is improving frequency to create a high frequency network in the peak periods and moving to medium frequency in the off peak hours Comparing DART to European and Asia standards is not realistic 19

20 UTA Study Equity Factors - Job Access by Transit by Travel Time UTA researchers state that on average about 30% of the population in Dallas and 41% of the population in the transit dependent core have access to less than 1% of regional jobs in a 45 minute transit commute time. Compared to other aspects of DART, the lack of adequate access to jobs by transit appears to be the greatest barrier for considering transit as the major mode of transportation for all and particularly for the low income, transit dependent population. 20

21 UTA Study Equity Factors - Job Access by Transit by Travel Time DART believes that measuring transit access to regional jobs where over ½ of the population in the region measured has no public transit is an inappropriate measure of DART performance DART believes that the 45 minute transit commute time used as the UTA standard of reasonable travel time access by transit is unrealistic considering the 700 square mile transit district where the average car driver s commute is 28 minutes DART measures its transit network effectiveness in 15 minute increments ranging from 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes and 90 minutes 21
