• Modal plans for bicycle and pedestrian networks • Park & Ride, Parking management plan(s) • ITS planning and new technology deployment, e.g., alternative fuels, automated vehicle location (AVL) and traveler information systems, signal priority for transit, safety, security & electronic fare collection systems. CUTR will also conduct an assessment of the transit environment through a review of existing and future land use maps, aerials, and a limited field survey to determine land use patterns, emerging developments, and urban design characteristics and their impact on transit. Task 56 — Ten -Year Forecast of Transit Demand In accordance with Rule 14-73.001, CUTR will utilize the Transit Boardings Estimation Simulation Tool (T -BEST) to forecast ridership over a ten year period using several improvement scenarios. CUTR will review trip patterns from the T -BEST model's base year and future year travel demand. CUTR will then utilize the T -BEST model to test various service improvement scenarios such as improvements to existing services and new services in new service areas. The demand for transit service over the next ten years will be determined from model outputs and any changes to the underlying demographics and development pattern of the transit service area. CUTR may also consider factors such as trip -making patterns exhibited by the County's Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) population, to the extent such data is available from the coordinated system. Demand forecasts from T -BEST are but one tool to determine future service improvements. Task 6 — Update of Policy Framework and Goals and Objectives This task will assimilate all of the previous tasks to develop goals, objectives and performance measures to guide future transit service plans and plan initiatives. From the preceding tasks, and with the participation of the Steering Committee, CUTR will recommend updates to the following policy documents: • Agency Vision Statement (e.g., the ideal future) • Mission Statement (e.g., organizational purpose, activities, & values) • Goals, Objectives & Strategies • Performance Standards & Monitoring based on the established goals and objectives. Task 7 — Definition & Evaluation of Alternatives This task will define and evaluate alternatives for service improvements to be programmed for the ten-year planning period. Alternatives will be evaluated for highest ridership potential, community need/demand, cost effectiveness, and will consider improvements to existing service, new service areas and new service types. Based on the preceding Strategic Assessment, Performance Evaluation and Updated Policy Framework, CUTR will develop alternative future transit scenarios. These will be developed in a www.cutr.usf.edu M
