Task C.9: Transportation Existing Conditions Report Based on information evaluated as part of the above tasks Consultant will develop a draft existing transportation conditions report. The report will be finalized based on one set of consolidated review comments from the City. Deliverables: Draft and Final Existing Transportation Conditions Report TASK D : PERFORMANCE MONITORING Transportation systems have traditionally been evaluated in terms of mobility for cars, not necessarily people. In keeping with the intent of the Citywide Transportation Plan, the document's evaluation metrics must embody a truly multimodal approach . Task D.1 : Performance Measurement Criteria Consultant will work with the City to develop a set of performance measurement criteria that may be considered for evaluating the performance of the overall transportation system performance as well as individual projects and programs. Criteria will tier from those developed for the City's Downtown Transit Center and Broadway Streetcar study but will be expanded to include a more citywide perspective. At a minimum , criteria will include measures of vehicular mobility, such as vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and key corridor travel times, as well as measures of access and safety for other travel modes. As part of this task, additional performance measurement criteria will be developed to include the following : • Transit Reliability: Consultant will apply Reliability+ to the main transit corridors in Redwood City, which include Woodside, Middlefield , and El Camino Real. Different metrics can be extracted based on direction of travel , user-defined segment of route, and time of day. Consultant's Reliability+ tool enables users to look at travel time variability (i .e. the coefficient of variation of travel time) and speed by segment on transit routes in the City to pinpoint the specific locations of a route where reliability issues occur. This approach enables allows the City to target areas of a route for improvement based on the biggest impact on service reliability and travel time. The output from our tool can be visualized in a variety of ways in order to enable agencies to effectively communicate detailed information to decision-makers and the public. ® Walking and Bicycling Suitability: For pedestrians and bicyclists, Consultant will evaluate the existing activity levels (using Census Data, transit data, and other data), identify important attractors (transit, commercial corridors and districts, regional attractions, and major schools, employers and services), evaluate the existing infrastructure support (as data is available), and identify deficiencies (barriers and gaps, lack of facilities, collision rates). Consultant's Active+ model uses a GIS methodology to assess a community's non-motorized transportation needs. The premise is that non-motorized improvements in high- need areas will have the greatest safety benefits and achieve the largest ATTY/AGR/2016.308/FEHR & PEERS CITYWIDE TRANSPORTATION PLAN REV: 11-03-16 VR Page 18 of 26
