2 High Capacity Transit and Connectivity

WFRC Regional Model Transit Mode Share for the University and UURP

Research Park is limited by poor connectivity to existing TRAX stations and fixed route transit service to Main Campus

Main Campus: 2019: 12% 2030: 14% 2040: 16%

Health Science: 2019: 9% 2030: 11% 2040: 13%

Research Park: 2019: 2% 2030: 3% 2040: 3.5%

Campus Circuit and Shuttle Network

2 High Capacity Transit and Connectivity

UURP Transit Mode Share Results: 2030: 4.6% • BRT routing through URP along Arapeen Connector, Campus Circuit and Mobility Hubs

2040: 11.9% • Addition of TRAX Black Line with direct connection to URP

* Mode shifts are based on WFRC Choice travel demand patterns and URP proposed increases in HCT service quality, exclusive of Phased Land Development plans.

3 Shared Parking Model and Policies Reductions

Shared Parking Analysis Balancing land uses by parking needs and time of day 625 spaces

38% less parking

390 spaces

Why do this analysis?

• Demonstrate value of sharing

• Present and illuminate trade-offs

• Test parking ratios and TDM impacts for CC&Rs

• Help right-size parking supply by development phase

3 Shared Parking Model and Policies Reductions

* Parking supply assumed constant for scenario testing

Daily (MXD/CAPCOA) Results – 7/24/20

Key Findings • Parking, TDM, Transit programming planned within 10 years can mitigate most new Phase 2 generated trips

-27,500 daily trips compared to traditional suburban development of same scale (Phase 3)

• Extension of Black Line terminal station into URP is critical for increasing transit mode share

• Left turns into site during peak hours will be most impacted from new trips with Phase 3

+8-26%

increase in peak hour vehicle trips (Existing to Phase 3: 250% increase in development) Results – 7/24/20
