2 2016 TRI-CITY AREA SINGLE OCCUPANT AND HIGH OCCUPANT WINDSHIELD SURVEY In mid-may, the BFCG Transportation Programs office coordinated a windshield survey aimed at providing Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOV) and High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) rates throughout the Tri-City Area. The survey is conducted every two years with data available at various locations dating back to Surveys were completed at select spots along major commute corridors, and at primary access points to the Hanford Site. BFCG staff wants to express their appreciation to WSDOT, Mission Support Alliance (MSA), and the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland for their help in providing staff time toward this effort. In total, surveyors were able to collect SOV/HOV occupancy rates at twenty-three locations in our region. The SOV/HOV data is an important indicator of occupancy travel patterns for the area s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program as well as calibrating the local Travel Model. Data was collected in fifteen minute increments between 5:30am -7:30am May 17 th & 18 th with surveyors tallying singleoccupant vehicles, high-occupant vehicles (2, or more persons), and vanpools SOV/HOV Survey Locations: Hanford Area Route 4S north bound, north of Horn Rapids Rd Route 4S north bound, south of Energy Northwest Rd Route 4S north bound, south of Wye Barricade Route 10 north bound, north of State Route 240 Route 11A east bound, east of Yakima Barricade Rattlesnake Barricade north bound, north of State Route 240 City of Richland George Washington Way Extension north bound, north of Horn Rapids Rd George Washington Way north bound, at Columbia Point Dr Stevens Dr north bound, south of Snyder Rd George Washington Way north bound, north of Spengler St City of Kennewick Columbia Center Boulevard north bound, south of Arrowhead Ave Edison St north bound, north of Canal Dr 27 th west bound, east of US 395 City of Pasco US 12 west bound, west of A St Court St east bound, west of 20 th Ave BFCG (WSDOT State Routes) State Route 240 west bound, south of Duportail St State Route 224 (Van Giesen) east bound, east of Jones Rd State Route 240 west bound, south of Robertson Rd WSDOT I 182 west bound at Columbia River Bridge, west of Road 100 State route 240 (causeway) west bound, at Yakima River Bridge State route 240 west bound, south of State Route 224 (Van Giesen) West Richland Keene Rd east bound, east of Kennedy Rd Harrington Rd north bound, at Twin Bridges Rd 2016 Survey Results (EB = East Bound, WB = West Bound, SB = South Bound, NB = North Bound) (N/O = North of, S/O =South of, W/O = West of, E/O = East of) 1

12 2016 HOV/SOV Observations WSDOT State Routes In August 2014, all Hanford are employees switched to a 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. shift. There is a considerable drop in HOV at the SR 240 locations at Van Giesen (7.6% in 2012, 4.5% in 2016) and Robertson Road (10.6% in 2012, 3.9% in 2016). The SR 240 bypass South of Duportail and south of Van Giesen also had their peak time shifted one half hour earlier to 5:30 a.m. 6:30 a.m. in Hanford Area The 2016 Vanpool counts were drastically lower (143 less) at the Route 4S locations (Horn Rapids Road and Energy Northwest Road) than in West Richland Keene Road EB East of Kennedy Road dropped in 2016 HOV percentage by 3.6% form Richland All of Richland s survey locations rose in HOV percentage over 2014 by 4.8%. Vanpools The most obvious downturn was in the vanpool program. With the closure of the Umatilla Weapons Depot in 2012 and lower gas prices there has been a significant drop in ridership in 2014 and
