Transcription

1 95 Express Annual Operations Report: Fiscal Year General The 95 Express Program completed its sixth full Fiscal Year of operations in June For the FDOT, its Fiscal Year (FY) is from July 1 through June 30. For FY , the 95 Express Lanes serviced 20,916,526 vehicle trips, bringing the total since opening (December 5, 2008) to approximately million trips. It had a total toll revenue of over $27.6 million for the year; bringing the total revenue to date to approximately $114.6 million. The Program saw another consecutive increase in toll exempt registered vehicles to a total of 9,293 resulting in over 687,500 toll exempt trips.

2 Operations/Traffic Statistics - Speed Data Average weekday speeds for both directions of the Express Lanes (EL) stayed consistent in Fiscal Year (FY) when compared to the previous fiscal year. These speeds are not shown in any graphs below, but are 64 miles per hour (MPH) southbound and 63 MPH northbound. The Local Lanes (LL) also remained consistent with overall daily speeds averaging at 56 MPH southbound and 55 MPH northbound, respectively. Prior to 95 Express opening, average peak period travel speeds along the I-95 corridor were approximate 20 MPH in both directions for the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and 15 MPH (southbound) and 20 MPH (northbound) for the local lanes (LL). Though still a vast improvement over Pre-95 Express conditions, as shown in the first graph below, EL and LL average speeds during their respective Peak Periods**, declined for all lanes and directions for the second year in a row. The bottom graph shows the facility s speed reliability in both weekdays (i.e., Overall) and directional peak.

3 Operations/Traffic Statistics - Volume Data For the first time since the facility opened in December 2008, average weekday volume in both directions decreased in FY , by approximately 5% over the previous fiscal year, combined. Numerous construction projects along the 95 Express corridor directly attributed to this decrease. For the directional peak periods, as shown in the right-hand graph below, both directions also saw a decline of approximately 7%. A third consecutive year for Peak Period average volume decreases may indicate that commuters are modifying their trip times outside of the 6-9 AM and 4-6 PM peak time travel windows. The bottom graph on this page depicts the percentage of traffic using the Express Lanes compared to the overall I-95 corridor. Compared to the previous fiscal year, the percentage of traffic using 95 Express decreased by 1.5% to entire corridor usage. The largest decrease southbound was during the weekends at almost 2% less compared to last fiscal year.

4 Operations/Traffic Statistics - Volume Data (cont.) Three additional volume performance metrics collected for 95 Express include Weekend, Highest Weekday and Highest (Weekday) Hour, as shown in the three graphs below, respectively. Weekend Express Lanes trips in the southbound direction, on average, decreased nearly 10% in FY This decline was primarily due to increased planned construction (i.e., pavement rehabilitation) resulting in more closures during the year. Average Express Lanes Weekend Traffic 20,100 18,900 13,300 15,300 14,600 17,800 17,900 19,400 19,500 21,700 20,900 23,000 21,500 20,800 22,300 Monthly Avg (ITD) FY * FY FY FY FY FY FY Average Highest Express Lanes Weekday Traffic 36,200 33,100 25,400 29,300 28,100 33,900 33,200 36,100 34,500 38,600 35,900 38,600 36,200 37,100 35,300 Monthly Avg (ITD) FY * FY FY FY FY FY FY Average Highest Express Lanes Hour of Traffic 3,800 3,300 2,700 3,200 3,000 3,700 3,300 3,900 3,500 4,000 3,600 4,000 3,600 3,800 3,400 Monthly Avg (ITD) FY * FY FY FY FY FY FY NOTE: ITD = Inception to Date; Values rounded to nearest 100. *FY was in the northbound direction only.

5 Operations/Traffic Statistics - Volume Data (cont.) The graphs displayed below depict the cumulative volume changes in the Express Lanes (blue line) versus the entire I-95 corridor (green line), year over year. The decline in average volumes for weekdays and peak periods, as shown below, had a direct effect on the cumulative growth of the facility in both the express lanes and in the local lanes. Weekday decreases are a direct result of more planned construction throughout the corridor; while peak period decreases could be proof the commuters are altering their time of day of travel. The red line in each of these graphs is not cumulative. They are the actual annual percentage volume usage of the Express Lanes to the entire I-95 corridor. 40.0% 35.0% 30.0% 25.0% 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0% 5.0% Avg.

7 Speed Reliability Florida Department of Transportation Reliability is one of the goals of 95 Express. It is measured as the percentage of time that speeds within the facility remain above 45 miles per hour (MPH) during the peak period for any 180-day consecutive period. The red line on each graph is the 90% target line. The average six-month reliabilty for the FY northbound peak period was 59.2%, and 96.8% for the southbound peak period. The northbound direction s reliability is directly effected by the corridor s geometry (e.g., interchange access weaving), and by traffic events that occur along the I-95 general purpose lanes. Other connecting facilities within the Golden Glades Interchange (i.e., SR 826 and Florida s Turnpike Homestead Extension) also impact the facility s performance. 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 95 Express Northbound (FY ) 6 Month Speed Reliability and Avg.

8 Speed Reliability (cont.) Florida Department of Transportation The graphs shown here display the correlation between how many times the facility charged the maximum toll to the effect on its reliability. Maximum toll instances took a steady decline from February 2015 to the end of this reporting period due to a newly implemented incident management procedure where the Department added additional resources (i.e., Road Rangers) to physically close the northbound Express Lanes during any lane blockage activity. As shown in the top graph, the blue line depicts improved speed reliability due to the new procedure.
