1 Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan Makeover Montgomery II May 10, 2014
2 Master Plan Status Begun: August 2011 Planning Board Approved Draft Plan: July 2013 Council Approved Final Plan: November 2013 Commission Adoption of Final Plan: December 2013
3 Master Plan Purpose To designate dedicated transit lanes to facilitate the development of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service to: Provide faster, more reliable alternative to single occupant vehicles and congested roadways Bridge rail transit and local bus service Enhance transit service for existing patrons Intercept long distance commuters, allowing roadway capacity to better serve planned development within the County
4 Master Plan Focus Determine where rights of way should be reserved for transit corridors, including: BRT only facilities Dedicated bus lanes shared by BRT and local buses Accommodation for pedestrians and bicyclists Not in Master Plan Operational issues: BRT routes and rerouting of local bus system Span of service and BRT headways Land use changes
5 Montgomery County Demographic and Travel Forecast Summary based on 2012 Constrained Long Range Plan (CLRP) Population Employment Difference Percent Difference 998k 1.2M 206k 21% 529k 737k 208k 39% Vehicle Miles Traveled 22.0m 26.8m 4.8m 22% Lane Miles* 2,592 2, % Lane Miles of Congestion % *Note: Modeled lane miles include freeways, arterials, & many collectors, but few local roads
6 Outreach
7 Stakeholder Agencies Maryland State Highway Administration MoCo Dept of Transportation, including Ride On Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) Cities of Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Takoma Park Frederick, Howard, Prince George s, and Fairfax Counties District of Columbia Public utilities General Public Over two dozen presentations to community groups and other venues open to the public Plan webpage links to staff memos, presentations, and resources, as well as a blog for comments Two segments on the Montgomery Plans cable show Ten Planning Board meetings, plus one public hearing with testimony from 273 individuals and groups Two County Council public hearings
8 Analysis
9 approximately 150 miles of corridors from MCDOT BRT Feasibility Study, plus additional segments recommended by Transit Task Force
10 4 Transportation Modeling Runs Initial modeling included all median busways treated the same as Light Rail Transit (LRT) to determine maximum potential ridership in 2040 forecast year. No Build: ex. transportation network + Constrained Long Range Plan Build 1: 152 mile network of median busways Build 2: 152 mile network with some dedicated curb lanes achieved via lane repurposing* Build 2A: 87 mile network with a mix of treatments Treatment Build 1 Build 2 Build 2A Two Way Median Curb Lanes Mixed Traffic 17 Total (miles)
11 Definition: Designating an existing or planned travel lane for transit use only, whether during peak periods or all day Recommended where: *Lane Repurposing Forecast transit ridership was greater than the general trafficcarrying capacity of the lane, and Expanding the roadway was determined to be infeasible Consistent with 1993 General Plan Refinement which: Moved away from accommodating travel demand and toward managing travel demand Promoted more efficient use of our rights of way Recommended favoring transit over automobile use
12 Activity Center Corridor Corridor Typology multiple activity centers along its length all day, night and weekend activity and transit demand in both directions variable trip length example: MD355 Express Corridor highly peaked directional split in travel mostly long trips example: US29 north of New Hampshire Avenue Commuter Corridor characteristics that are intermediate between the above two types example: Georgia Avenue
13 Treatment Thresholds Treatment thresholds were lowered to account for: high level of analysis long time frame (beyond 2040 forecast to consider master plan build out) model attributes that could increase ridership up to 30% Transit Capacity and Quality Service Manual (TCQSM) vs. Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan (CTCFMP) Treatment TCQSM CTCFMP Mixed Traffic <1,200 pphpd <1,000 pphpd Curb Lanes 1,200 to 2,400 pphpd 1,000 1,600 pphpd Median Busway >2,400 pphpd >1,600 pphpd pphpd= passengers per peak hour in the peak direction
14 Corridor Function Network & Treatment Considerations activity center corridor express corridor commuter corridor Forecast Peak Hour Ridership >1,600* = busway 1,000-1,600* = curb lanes <1,000* = mixed traffic *passengers in the peak hour in the peak direction Corridor Treatment 1 or 2-lane median busway or side busway curb lanes mixed traffic

21 Network & Treatment Considerations BRT Demand Bus Speed Impacts on Other Traffic Transit Corridor Network Property Impacts Local Bus Demand Network Integrity
22 Determining Corridor Treatment Recommended rights of way reflect higher level of treatment in some cases to maintain network integrity Final plan states only whether or not dedicated transit lanes should be provided Implementing agency has flexibility to determine final treatment based on: more detailed ridership forecasts and traffic analysis service planning decisions further refinement of property and environmental impacts and costs
23 Plan Recommendations Ten Transit Corridors plus Corridor Cities Transitway 102 mile network, 80% dedicated lanes Additional ROW recommended where needed to accommodate dedicated lanes and pedestrian & bike facilities Corridor treatments to be determined during Project Planning 125 BRT stations located by nearest intersection

35 Households Recommended Transit Corridor Network vs Jobs and Households Forecasts Jobs
36 Duplication of Metrorail Most concerns about duplicating Metrorail were about MD355 South but Georgia Avenue South was also referenced. These corridors serve the same area as the two legs of the Red Line but provide a different service that is intermediate between Metrorail and local buses, with a closer stop spacing and less of a time penalty to access the system for moderate length trips. MD 355 and Georgia Ave BRT ridership coming from Red Line ridership Corridor Build 1 Build 2 Build 2A A MD 355 South BRT ridership 48,700 46,000 43,900 B Georgia Avenue North/South BRT ridership 24,300 23,700 12,300 C total ridership coming from Red Line 23,100 21,700 13,900 D % ridership coming from the Red Line 32% 31% 25%

46 Two lane median Curb lane One lane median Dedicated lanes & corridor treatment types
47 ITDP Demand and Service Planning Report to MCDOT (Dec 2012) The report stated that US29 is not a good candidate for BRT: The main cause of delay was normal congestion which can be resolved with simple dedicated bus lanes in the peak direction, so full BRT on Route 29 does not seem warranted at this time. The report fairly off handedly recommends dedicated lanes as a simple solution, but gaining the space for such lanes is a critical master plan issue. The report is narrowly focused on what constitutes true BRT, whereas the CTCFMP is focused on what ROWs are needed to accommodate both BRT as we see it and other bus services.
