Today’s Agenda Update on Recent Progress 2012 Base Network Development City of Toronto Model Deployment and First Impressions Update on NCS 11 GTAModel Version 4.0 Workplan

Update on Recent Progress New Toolbox Tools: Geo Renumber Nodes: renumbers nodes based on geography Check Functions tool (and XTMF module) for ensuring that all functions (VDF, TPF, TTF) referenced in a scenario are defined in the emmebank. Generate Lines from GTFS: tool used to create line itineraries in the 2012 network Network Editing library for Python scripts

Update on Recent Progress 2012 Network (Transit Lines) For agencies with GTFS data, full-day itineraries are being developed Several agencies have draft networks sent to them for review: Still in the pipeline: TTC YRT GO Transit MiWay Brampton Oakville (non-GTFS) Durham (non GTFS) Milton (non-GTFS) HSR Burlington (non-GTFS)

City of Toronto Model Deployment The model has been deployed The city is currently validating the results First impressions?

Update on NCS11 A revision is required to handle transit ROW encoding issues. Proposed solution: use upper-case modes to flag links with transit-only lanes A memo was circulated late October with no objections Additionally, the standard for transit line IDs needs to be re-visited to take into account full-day service: More agencies than just the TTC have 3-digit route numbers

Update on NCS 11 Updated table of modes Code Type Description c Auto Personal vehicle, any occupancy e Auxiliary Auto Light/medium truck f Heavy truck h HOV2+ personal vehicle i HOV3+ personal vehicle j LOV (<2 or <3 depending on HOV definition used) b Transit Local buses g Alternative mode for inter-city buses (e.g., GO) p Premium bus service (not GO or intercity) q Alternative mode for buses (e.g., VIVA) l Standard-gauge light rail vehicles (e.g. Metrolinx LRV) s TTC-guage streetcars m Subway r Commuter rail (e.g., GO or VIA) a Auxiliary Transit Auto access to transit Code Type Description k Auxiliary Transit Bicycle t Transfer between two lines for the same transit agency u Transfer between two transit agencies v Walk mode on centroid connector w Walk mode on road network link y Walk from park & ride lot to transit station B Transit Transit-only lane flag for mode 'b' Q Transit-only lane flag for mode 'q' L Transit-only lane flag for mode 'l' S Transit-only lane flag for mode 's' G Unassigned Reserved for possible future use P x Reserved for internal use X
