Transportation Impacts of WMATA's SafeTrack Program Overview of Preliminary Analysis Eric Randall, TPB Transportation Engineer SPOTS TPB Technical Committee February 3, 2017 March 8, 2017 Agenda Item 5 Agenda Item 12

Overview of Analysis TPB staff conducted multimodal analysis of transportation impacts for Surges 1 through 10 of the WMATA SafeTrack Program Traffic Congestion Impacts Transit Usage Traffic Counts Bike Impacts Presentation and memo provide examples of the analysis that has been done to date. More analysis, leading to multiple charts, maps, tables, etc., could be conducted Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017

Traffic Congestion Analysis Similar to previous analysis work, INRIX data was used to look at traffic congestion regionally and proximate to surge work areas Focus on Travel Time Index (TTI), comparing observed travel times to a baseline in May (Pre-SafeTrack) Aside from Surge 1, minor changes in AM traffic (Tuesdays – Thursdays) Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017

Transit Usage Collected ridership data from Metrorail, Metrobus, and other transit systems On average, 32% of affected Metrorail users for each surge diverted from the system, with considerable variation among surges About 5% of Metrorail riders switched to Metrobus About 4% of Metrorail riders switched to Local Transit Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017

Traffic Counts Collected and analyzed data for permanent traffic count stations along highways parallel to SafeTrack work zones Where counters were proximate to SafeTrack work zones, some local increases in traffic were observed Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017

Bikeshare Data In a first-time effort, Capital Bikeshare system data on station origins and destinations was analyzed to determine changes in use during the surges, compared to use the preceding week. Also looked at registered users (i.e., those with memberships) and casual users to determine any differences in who used bikeshare. Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017

Bicycle/Pedestrian Counts Data collected from the counters on the Potomac River bridge crossings from Virginia was used to compare counts the week before each surge to crossings during the surge Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017

Overall Results of Analysis Overall conclusion that local impacts can be observed for each surge, but the region’s overall transportation system is large and resilient and the impacts of SafeTrack were within normal day-to-day variation Choices by individual travelers are unknown, with many options available: telework, leave, carpool, rideshare, use different Metrorail line, etc. Mitigating actions, including shuttles and increased bus service, also provided options for travelers Six of the 10 surges analyzed took place between July and Labor Day, which likely affected results Agenda Item 12: Impacts of SafeTrack February 3, 2017
