The Opportunities and Challenges of Transportation Technologies Lauren Isaac Manager of Sustainable Transportation March 2017

IT S IN THE NEWS.

SHARING ECONOMY

ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCES

DRIVERLESS TECHNOLOGY

DRONES

MOBILITY AS A SERVICE

HYPERLOOP

SO WHY SHOULD WE CARE?

IMPROVED SAFETY What if cars (and trucks, and buses ) no longer crashed?

INCREASED ROADWAY CAPACITY AV ONLY Under low-volume conditions, vehicles travel at high speeds with sufficient spacing As volume increases, speed decreases as vehicle headways decrease If AVs could operate at high speed with low headways, huge potential capacity increases

NEW MOBILITY OPTIONS

REDUCED CAR OWNERSHIP What if this increasingly became this?

DECREASED SPACE DEDICATED TO PARKING

REDUCED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

WHY SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED?

IMAGINE THIS SMART CITY

We need to be WISE about our SMART investments!

SO HOW DO WE GET THERE?

ACTIONS TO CONSIDER Build awareness Create public/private partnerships Try Backcasting Build a solid data foundation Update plans

A WISE SMART INVESTMENT

TECHNOLOGY IN MOTION City of San Mateo

SAN MATEO BIKE SHARE PILOT San Mateo not included in original Bay Area pilot City remained committed to hosting bike share Social Bicycles approached City to do a 50-bike pilot Bay Bikes Pilot launched on May 12, 2016 Funded directly by City of San Mateo Bikes located at 13 hubs across the City Bikes Make Life Better is the system operator

KEY DIFFERENTIATORS System runs on smart bikes instead of smart hubs Bikes can be locked to any rack or pole Bikes can be put on hold mid-reservation Hubs can be more spread out and have fewer bikes No required hub infrastructure other than standard racks

HUB LOCATIONS Pilot focuses on transportation hubs and employment centers Secondary focus on key commercial destinations Flexibility to adjust locations and quantity of bikes based on demand Many preferred locations have limited space for bike racks License agreements required with private property owners

PRICING Hourly rate translates to 8 cents per minute $3 out of hub fee but is credited back if round trip Pricing not intended for cost recovery

HEAT MAP

ORIGIN AND DESTINATION

TARGET SYSTEM METRICS Membership target is 10 per bike 500 for pilot Ridership goal is to reach 1 trip per bike per day No expectation for user fees to cost recover Currently we have 550+ members Trips per day peaked at 0.4 trips per bike per day in summer/fall In total, we have had 3,700 trips in 8 months of operation

IDEAL OUTCOME Expand system further in San Mateo System adopted throughout Peninsula Reciprocity with Motivate s Bay Area Bikeshare system Corporate sponsor identified to cover operating costs Clipper card payment integration

CONNECT SAN MATEO CAMPAIGN Based on the Connect Redwood City campaign Intended to be a one-stop shop for local transit info Platform on which to base marketing campaign Dynamic user experience key to site

HOMEPAGE

MODE PAGE

MARKETING CAMPAIGN Radio and Pandora spots Street banners and bus stop ads Employer email blasts and print mailings Tabling at community events Yielded 14,100+ web hits 2,800 repeat visits

SCOOP CARPOOL PILOT Pilot carpool program to incentivize people to try new carpooling apps Cost to riders reduced to $2 (from $6 on average) Drivers still get paid full amount Pilot lasted from October 2016 through February 2017 2,400 users registered in San Mateo and 15,000 matched carpooler rides occurred during pilot

Success and Best Practices

Goal: Facilitate an improved transportation and circulation network Expected Outcome: Reduce single occupancy vehicle trips during peak commute hours

Carpool matching service app Travelers can pre-schedule their commutes Trips created based on specific criteria (origin, destination and preferred commute time) Riders split the cost with the driver (e.g., a 20- mile trip would cost the rider $6) The driver receives $5 and Scoop receives $1

Regional vs. Local Solutions Long-term vs. Short-term Strategies Financial Commitment vs. Subsidy Amount Council and Public Support Marketing the Program

All rides in and out of Foster City only $2 Leverage existing marketing channels Twitter, Facebook, Marquee Newsletters, flyers Build the brand / program identity Word of Mouth Testimonials Table Events

2,000 Program Participants (both workers AND residents) 12,000 Carpool Trips since October 170,000 pounds of CO2 not emitted Subsidy spent faster than expected

Other carpooling apps on the market Continue subsidy with Scoop Other cities jumping on the bandwagon Pleasanton, Seattle and more Sometimes small solutions can make big waves

Making Technology Work for Commuters M A R C H 9, 2 0 1 7 Commute.org Tech Talks South San Francisco, California

TDM @ Stanford The GUP What is the GUP? The General Use Permit Governs campus development and growth Sq Ft, beds, parking Mitigation goal - No net new peak hour trips How does Stanford meet this goal? No free parking Innovative TDM On & near campus housing Free Marguerite shuttles Extensive bike program & services

FREE AND DISCOUNTED TRANSPORTATION Eligible Commuters Free and discounted transportation Free Vanpools, Caltrain, VTA, and East Bay express bus service. Pre-tax savings for eligible commuters, and 50% discount on ACE train through P&TS. Commute Club Receive up to $300 per year plus other rewards, including free Zipcar credit and Enterprise Rent- A-Car vouchers. Free Emergency Ride Home Sustainable transportation users can sign up for a free taxi or rental car for qualifying emergencies. Free commute (trip) planning P&TS offers custom commute planning from your front door to Stanford. Free ridematching service Find others at Stanford to carpool or vanpool. Stanford vanpools are subsidized! And more! Visit transportation.stanford.edu/discounts

GROWTH, HIGH COST OF HOUSING, LONGER COMMUTES Concentration near campus: Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View Growing clusters: San Francisco, Fremont, South San Jose, and along the Peninsula

WHAT ARE THE STANFORD ISSUES? Some commuters are not well served by transit Tough nut to crack, but could be opportunities: Ridesharing Those close to campus Technology solutions

Is the approach working? How sustainable? Mode split has fallen since 2000 Trip cap has not been breeched yet Credits help when necessary However Caltrain is over capacity Traffic is worse Parking is constrained Housing prices driving commuters further away

Technology Data Analysis and Modeling License Plate Recognition digitization and virtualization of parking TDM tech where we are & where we are going

Transportation Analysis Tool Two major components 1. Dashboard (Database and Visualization) 2. Mode share model Uses 1. Scenario testing to guide selection of preferred strategies 2. Ongoing analysis tools

Dashboard Uses 2015 Stanford Commute Survey and future survey results Very rich data set (20,000 responses) Graphically displays: Commuter home locations Mode share Arrival and departure times

Mode Share Model 1) Existing conditions Annual commute survey data provides information on existing commuter home locations and commute characteristics (e.g., mode) Introduction of travel cost and time information establishes the relationship between these factors and mode choice 2) Future baseline Future home locations, travel times, and costs are projected Based on these assumptions about the future, model predicts modes all commuters will choose 3) Scenario testing Introducing new strategies (e.g., a new bus route) changes travel times and costs, which influences mode choice Model predicts numerical mode shift for different geographic zones based on any number of new TDM strategies.

Virtual Credentialing - LPR

How does LPR Work?

15 Tech to the rescue!? NuPark & LPR digitizing parking and TDM Scoop daily dynamic ridesharing, costsharing Ride Amigos & Luum - TDM integration platforms Uber & Lyft pool is this the new way to carpool to work? Autonomous vehicles driverless shuttles why can t we have these now?! Bike Share here come the bikes! But do we want them? Electric buses the future of public transit? Bus tracking apps, telematics, performance and route planning luxury or necessity? What about the personal touch?

16 What s next? Mobility As A Service (MaaS) o Integrate all transportation forms into one app for payment, trip planning, requests, alerts, etc. - Moovit, Google Maps come close - Include bike sharing, walking On demand services Driverless shuttles, Uber/lyft pool or pods Carpool 2.0: Real-time ride-matching and carpool parking possible with LPR Why not yet? Time the challenging factor edevices bikes, scooters, skateboards, and others designs for the last or first mile. Expensive, storage, allowable use.
