The premise is that non- <br /> motorized improvements in high-need areas will have the greatest safety benefits and <br /> achieve the largest increases in the number of people walking and bicycling. Optionally, <br /> Active+ can also be refined from this framework for use as a quantitative demand <br /> forecasting tool. For pedestrians and bicyclists, Fehr & Peers will evaluate the existing <br /> activity levels(using Census Data,transit data,and other data), identify important attractors <br /> (transit, commercial corridors and districts, regional attractions, and major schools, <br /> employers and services), evaluate the existing infrastructure support (as data is available), <br /> and identify deficiencies (barriers and gaps, lack of facilities, collision rates). The Active+ <br /> analysis will tier from our previous work performing walking demand analysis for the San <br /> Mateo County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. <br /> • Parking Performance: Performance of parking is generally evaluated in terms of <br /> occupancy levels and understanding where people are parking. Specifically, performance <br /> measures related to parking may include: <br /> o Peak Occupancy hotspots in core and neighborhood zones <br /> o Parking Duration in core <br /> o Payment vs. occupancies in core <br /> o Monthly Citation rates <br /> Deliverables: Draft and Final Performance Measures memorandum, including (optional) <br /> maps of existing transit, walking, and bicycling performance. <br /> Task D.2:Travel Demand Forecasting (Optional) <br /> If undertaken, the purpose of this task would be to develop a planning tool suitable for evaluating <br /> how local and regional land use changes will affect travel demand in Redwood City, as well as how <br /> transportation improvements will effectively address existing and future travel needs. <br /> Visum is a state-of-the-practice meso-scale multimodal travel demand modeling and analysis <br /> software, which enables one to evaluate the overall performance of the City's transportation <br /> network and the operations of all transportation modes. In line with the purpose of the Citywide <br /> Transportation Plan,we would develop a citywide Visum model that will assist with making planning <br /> decisions that effectively meet the mobility needs of all users. A Visum-based model can improve <br /> on traditionally travel demand models by enabling a quick-response evaluation of transportation <br /> network changes and generating network performance outputs, including network-wide VMT, <br /> vehicle hours of delay (VHD), delay by mode, average travel speed, and volume-to-capacity ratios <br />
