2 Motivation for this research Overview of Direct Ridership Model Visualization of the key variables Methodology Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) Results
3 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 Ridership per Half Hour Bethesda Our Rail Stations Show Dramatically Different Ridership Patterns Daily Ridership: 11, Daily Ridership: 6,300 Suitland Bethesda Suitland 3
4 Direct Ridership Model (DRM) DRM quantifies the relationship between station-level transit ridership and factors of land use, transit service, and socio-demographics. DRM provides an estimate of ridership increase, given certain land use changes (e.g., changing the number of households or jobs). 10-min. walk Land Use Ridership 4
5 Direct Ridership Model Households Jobs, by type Demographics Transit service & Accessibility Built Environment Multivariate regressions Walk/Bike Ridership By Time Period By Station Walk Area (10-minute walking) Demographics: Transit characteristics: Built environment: household income, education level, etc. level of service, level of accessibility, network connectivity, parking Density (households & jobs), diversity (land use & industry), design (intersection density), job-accessibility, walk-score etc. 5
6 Half-Mile Walk Sheds: Examples Ballston Cheverly 6
7 Walk/bike AM peak entries vs. PM Peak entries Walk/Bike AM entries: include many commuters from suburban stations Walk/Bike PM entries: include many commuters to downtown DC 7
8 Households vs. jobs Households: distribute across the region with high concentration at several stations, such as Dupont Circle and Columbia Heights. Jobs: include jobs in downtown DC, as well as a few suburban stations, such as Bethesda and Ballston. 8
9 Jobs Accessible in 30 Minutes Job accessibility: the number of jobs can be accessed from each station within 30-minute transit time and 10-minute walking 9
10 AM peak entries model Objective Estimate ridership increase by adding X number of households (HHs) Regression Related a change in household to a change in ridership Added a term to indicate CBD in the model to improve accuracy 10

12 Predicted AM Entries per HH Important variables: Households (Household) x (Job accessibility) (Household) x (Good service) Median house hold income Downtown core Note: Interactive effects 12
13 PM peak entries model Objective Estimate ridership increase by adding X number of jobs Regression A statistical issue persisted due to large variance in both ridership and jobs. Station grouping helped to solve this issue. Group 1 (orange): Downtown Stations : in the downtown core Group 2 (green): Low Job Stations : with jobs < 2,500 Group 3 (red): Mixed Job Suburban Stations : other stations 13
14 Grouping of Stations Station grouping Group 1 (orange) Downtown Stations : in the downtown core Group 2 (green) Low Job Stations jobs < 2500 Group 3 (red) Mixed Job Suburban Stations others 14
15 PM peak entries model (3 groups) Independent Variable Group 1 Downtown Stations Group 2 Low Job Stations Group 3 Mixed Job Suburban Stations jobs in half-mile walk sheds Trains per hour NS NS (Jobs) x (Miles from downtown) NS N R Notes: significant level is 0.05; NS means statistically not significant; for Group2 and Group3, the total effect of adding jobs is determined by both jobs and miles from downtown. 15
16 PM Entries per Job PM Entries per Job Predicted PM Peak Entries per New Job in the Walk Shed 16
17 Example Results and Trade-offs Imagine 274 new HHs near Metro: at Rhode Island Avenue: 144 new entries/day at New Carrollton: 52 new entries/day Imagine 10,000 new 9-5 jobs near Metro: At NoMa: 3,550 new entries/day At Friendship Hts: 1,341 new entries/day At Greenbelt: 881 new entries/day 18

19 Motivations In a typically linear regression model, coefficients of independent variables are considered constant across observations ---- global estimates GWR allows the estimated coefficient vary among observations and can provide local estimates of the transit ridership. Not all TODs are alike. Certain predictors play more important roles than others at different Metro stations. Specific results can be used as evidence to support local policies and decision-making. 20

31 Where did you come from just before entering the Metro station? Walk only 34
32 Land Use and Ridership: Other Lessons We Learned Peak is all about jobs and households, and accessibility Off-peak is all about certain kinds of jobs Accessibility is significant in nearly all models If you can reach more stuff via transit from a station, ridership generation is stronger. Median income usually helps as control variables Positive on peak, negative at midday, no effect in evening WalkScore, most built environment variables phasing out in face of land use data Parking phasing out, overlap with job access No value in differentiating private vs. federal jobs Nearby jobs and neighborhoods are a small but robust source for off-peak ridership 35
33 Using Jobs by Type as Proxy for Activity Schedule Job NAICS Types INCLUDED NAICS Excluding Govt to-5ers Office Nonprofits 813 Manufacturing 33 (near Metrorail, NAICS2 33 is mostly HQs for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Xerox, etc - not manuf. plants) Shift Workers and Midday Appointments Nights and Weekends All Medical 62 Jails Hotels Police/Fire Security Services 5616 Restaurants, Bars (hotels) Retail Concert Halls, Arenas Schools Schools 61 Midday + Weekend Attractors Museums, Zoos, Parks
34 Did You Look At? Rule of Regression: no collinearity. If two explanatory variables are similar across stations, you can only use one E.g., housing density and 4-way intersections So, choose the set of variables that best predict ridership, as proxies for other effects 37
35 Work Relationship NCSG provided: An additional set of variables for analysis, Technical reports and consultation, STATA program files and GIS maps, and Base-excel files to predict ridership by station. NCSG closely communicated with Justin regarding: Specific requirements: regression specification Discussion of problems in regression analysis Discussion of intermediate results and further steps to explore Translation of regression analysis results in ridership prediction 38
