• Abstract:
  This report presents the Transit System Data Test Plan for the national evaluation of the Los Angeles Congestion ; Reduction Demonstration (Metro ExpressLanes) under the United States Department of Transportation ; (U.S. DOT) Congestion Reduction Demonstration (CRD) Program. The Los Angeles CRD projects focus on ; reducing traffic congestion by employing strategies consisting of combinations of tolling, transit, ; telecommuting/travel demand management (TDM), and technology, also known as the 4Ts. Tolling (pricing) ; strategies include converting high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on the two freeway corridors to variablypriced ; high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, adding a second HOT lane to portions of one corridor, and ; implementation of a downtown LA intelligent parking management system featuring demand-based pricing and ; real-time parking availability information. Transit improvements include increased bus service, transit station ; security improvements, expansion of two transit stations, creation of an El Monte Busway/Union Station bus ; service connection, and the expansion of downtown LA transit signal priority. TDM strategies aim to establish ; 100 new registered vanpools. This Transit System Data Test Plan is one of ten test plans being developed. The ; other nine test plans consist of the following: traffic; tolling; surveys, interviews and workshops; ridesharing, ; safety; environmental; content; cost-benefit, and exogenous factors. Each test plan is based on the Los Angeles ; County Congestion Reduction Demonstration (LA CRD) National Evaluation Plan. This test plan describes ; transit system data sources, data availability, and data analysis. The schedule and responsibilities for collecting, ; analyzing, and reporting the transit system data are also presented.
