5.0 SCHEDULE AND RESPONSIBILITIESTable 5-1 provides an overview of the historical, pre-, and post-deployment transit data collection schedules. Given the incremental nature of many of the UPA projects, it is recommended that the post-deployment data be collected for most elements on a continuous basis, rather than at only one point in time. For example, travel-time data from the Metro Transit AVL system is collected continuously and can be analyzed on a monthly basis. Table 5-2 presents the recommended post-deployment data collection schedule. As noted, the recommended schedule for summarizing ridership and travel-time data is monthly. Data on transit ridership, travel times, and park-and-ride lots in the control corridors and system-wide will be collected on the same schedule as the UPA projects.
* Multiple post-deployment data collection recommended.
** When schedule changes are made.
*Recommend a special survey of vehicles parked at the new Cedar Avenue Park-and-Ride Lot be conducted in October, 2011. The lot is scheduled to open in October, 2010.
Historical data are available for many of the transit-service data sources, including ridership, travel time/on-time performance, and park-and-ride lot utilization. Based on data availability, a historical trend line should be established for the appropriate elements. Pre-deployment data should be obtained and analyzed from all the sources. The historical summary of some data, including park-and-ride lot usage counts, has been initiated with the development of this test plan. Personnel from Metro Transit and MVTA will collect the ridership, travel time and on-time performance, and park-and-ride lot data, and will conduct the park-and-ride lot license plate surveys in 2010 and the additional survey of the Cedar Avenue Park-and-Ride Lot in 2011. Members of the Battelle team will analyze the data. The responsibilities for collecting and analyzing the data outlined in the transit test plan are summarized below.
