WHY BUS?Th 11 t il• There are 11 commuter rail lines in the 6 county region
h b• There are over 200 bus routes in the Pace service areaarea
• Arterials are the new rail!

“IT’S ONLY 6 MORE MINUTES!”• .6 Miles / 8 Miles Per Hour = About 5 minutes per trip
Plus one minute of time to allow loading and unloading= 6 minutes per trip into shopping center or .1 Hours/Trip
• Cost to Operate Service $72.31/Hour = $7.23 per deviation
• 15 Northbound Trips, 15 Southbound Trips
• 30 Trips * $7.23 for Additional Running Time = $216.93/Day
• 255 Weekdays, 52 Saturdays
• $216.93*307 Days= $66,597.51 more per year
• Over 20 Years with 3% annual inflation = $1,843,185.03• **Amount has not been adjusted for fares, typically fares cover
l h f l dless than 20‐25% of costs in low density areas.

OPERATIONAL ISSUES• Inconveniences through riders• Liability• Damage to pavement• Affects timeliness and
li bilit f ireliability of service

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH 6 MINUTES?• Remove a deviation to stay on the arterial
• Save 6 minutes per trip
• 30 trips per day
• Savings of three hours per dayy
• One way trip 45 minutes
• Add three additional trips per dayper day
• Speed and service span improved for all passengers

PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACHTransforming the corridor by following regional planning concepts
• CMAP GO TO 2040 : Comprehensive Regional Plan
• Corridor Development
• Multi‐modal ‐Bike/Pedestrian
• ‘Complete Streets’Complete Streets
• Federal ‘Livability Principles’

PLAN FOR TRANSIT FROM THE BEGINNINGUse Available Technical Assistance Resources
• Involve discussions with stakeholders
• Pace Development Guidelines used in planning/design• Pace Development Guidelines used in planning/design
• Pace Technical Assistance Review Program (TRAP)
Internal Review‐approval Procedures
• Conduct development reviews in terms of transit and pedestrian access
• Review requirements do they support corridor’s vision?Review requirements, do they support corridor s vision?
• Political/residential challenges, do they understand the corridor’s vision?

COORDINATE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
• Example: Recreational planning and facilities

CHANGING EXISTING ACCESS CONDITIONS
• First step towards incremental change
• Bridge gap between redevelopment cyclesBridge gap between redevelopment cycles
• Sets stage for long term action
• Stay optimisticStay optimistic
• Retrofitting is possible
