EDAW INC WORK PROGRAM TRANSIT-ORIENTED SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE HACIENDA BUSINESS PARK Objectives I will undertake these tasks with the objective of understanding the relationship between transportation performance characteristics and the following three associated sets of factors. · land use and urban design characteristics · transportation supply factors · programmatic efforts such as parking management, financial incentives for use of alternative modes, etc. The research will be organized into two parts: case study inquiries that will result in reporting on actual experience, and review of research literature that may be based on either actual experience, modeling, or other analytical techniques. Tasks Coordinate with Specific Plan team and clients. Continuing coordination will be needed to (1) revise or clarify scope of work as needed and coordinate with other team members, (2) establish or obtain basic data regarding (a) existing community- wide and on-site conditions relevant to travel demand and behavior and (b) planned and approved development and transportation supply changes, and (3) insure a productive and efficient relationship between the performance of this Scope of Work and efforts by Fehr and Peers. Select case studies and research literature to be reviewed. The objective is to identify locations from which data on transportation performance and related elements is available, and that collectively may bracket a realistic performance range for buildout of a Hacienda Specific Plan. A preliminary list of case study locations will be created through consultation with the team and a web-based search. Three-to-five case study locations may include both business-park environments, suburban employment centers, and traditional urban centers, to be determined in consultation withthec~entandteam. Conduct Research Review. The research review will be conducted first in order to make the conduct of the case studies as efficient as possible. For example, some case studies of interest may already be documented through the literature, reducing the importance of data gathering through interviews and first-hand review of project documents. The emphasis of the literature review will be on the compilation of practical data directly relevant to the objectives described above for the scope of work. Conduct Case Studies. Case studies will be conducted through telephone interviews, follow up correspondence as needed, and collection and review of project documents. Copies of all telephone records and documents compiled will be provided to the EDAW and/or the Client as requested. Analyze and document findings and Recommendations. This task includes analysis and synthesis of findings from both case studies and the research literature review. The emphasis will be on identifying a realistic range of performance objectives in relation to mode share, vehicle trip generation or other transportation features that are in synch with the range of physical changes under consideration through the Specific Plan effort. Accompanying the findings regarding transportation performance will be findings about physical and programmatic changes that appear to be necessary conditions for desired changes in travel behavior. This latter set of information will be of great importance in informing the team's work in devising specific plan alternatives, and will be tested in the Hacienda context through the work of Fehr and Peers.
