Task 1: Identify Existing Conditions, and Route Performance Time Frame: Day 1— 75 Cost: $31,725 The purpose of this task is to collect all data necessary to assess the existing conditions and route performance. This will be used as the basis for any alternative route development. This set of existing conditions will be the basis upon which to develop all recommendations and system improvements. The many data collection activities that will take place during Task 1 include: • Complete boarding and alighting study of fixed -route bus trips; • An onboard passenger interview survey; • Review of regional and adjacent municipalities circulators, shuttles and on -demand transit services; • Review of roadway, conditions and location of major trip generators, as well as potential interface locations with other transit services • Review of operational data for Orange Line #1, Orange Line #2, and Blue Line • Examine other services to minimalize automobile usage, such as FreeBee or other rideshare services, as well as other non -motorized alternatives 1.1 Boarding and Alighting Survey The boarding and alighting survey is major undertaking and an extremely important data item. The boarding and alighting data will be used to examine route productivity issues, key trip generators, vehicle requirements and the like. Corradino has conducted numerous boarding and alighting surveys. They are typically done with using hand-held or tablet computers with all stops, routes and trips preprogrammed. Boardings and alightings will be time -stamped as they are collected to allow for the calculation of run time per trip and segment, schedule adherence and average speed. For the 6 days/week routes, Corradino proposes collecting full day sampling from each route for two (2) weekdays and one (1) Saturday. Data will be downloaded from the handheld or tablet devices and compiled into a ridership database that can then be queried to determine key performance factors such as total and average ridership by trip and route, boarding by stop, segment and trip and time of day, maximum load point, etc. The database can also be linked to a GIS -based map to graphically depict data such as boardings and alightings by stop, load factors and route productivity by segment. All this is critical in professionally assessing the performance of a transit route. 1.2 Onboard Passenger Interview Survey 4055 NW 97TH AVENUE - SUITE 200 MIAMI.
