10. Travel Patterns and Travel Demand Model
Travel PatternsSimilar to other areas is the southeastern US, the Charlotte region has experienced significant growth in population and employment over the past decades. The economic vitality of the region has been the catalyst for this growth, along with a housing supply that is able to meet the demands of the increased population. In combination with this growth, the region has developed a dynamic, multimodal transportation system that has greatly contributed to continued economic prosperity.
The majority of trips for residents in the region are to access places of employment. The home-to-work commute trip is a primary contributor to the congestion found on some of the major arterials, particularly in the AM and PM peak periods. Based on the 2011 US Census Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) data, the Worker Residential Location Density map on the following page illustrates where workers live in the two US Census-designated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) that the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) spans. As shown in the Worker Residential Location Density map, the largest residential density is primarily concentrated in the City of Charlotte, with dense pockets found within and around the I-277 Loop. The Employment Location Density map on the
WT Harris Blvd and N Tryon St in Charlotte are examples of roadways that have been widened due to current and anticipated traffic volumes.
10-2 Chapter 10
following page shows where workers are employed in the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill and Statesville-Mooresville MSAs, with the primary employment centers found within the City of Charlotte, and the Employment Location Density within the City of Charlotte map depicts the distribution of employment centers in Charlotte. Employment is very highly concentrated in Charlotte’s city center due to the higher density of government offices and corporate headquarters. Various medical facilities, office parks, and shopping districts contain other employment locations outside of the city center.
According to the American Community Survey (ACS), which is a five year estimate developed from census data collected between 2006 and 2010, the City of Charlotte has experienced a slight decrease in average travel time for several travel modes. In 2000, the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) reported that the mean travel time to work for those who drove alone was 23.9 minutes, and the 2006-2010 ACS reported the commute time to be 22.9 minutes. Similarly, the average carpool travel time to work decreased from 27.3 minutes in 2000 (CTPP) to 26.5 minutes (ACS 2006-2010 update).
According to the 2006-2010 ACS for the City of Charlotte, the vast majority (80 percent) of workers drive alone to work, followed by 11 percent that carpool, 3 percent that ride transit, 3 percent who work at home, and 1.4 percent who walk to work. A comparison of the 2000 US Census Transportation Planning Package information to the 2006-2010 ACS shows that approximately 1 percent of Charlotte workers shifted away from driving alone, 1.5 percent shifted away from carpooling, 1 percent of workers shifted to utilizing public transportation, 0.4 percent started walking, and 1 percent started working from home.

Land Use and Employment Centers
As discussed in the Population and Land Use chapter, the land use patterns across the CRTPO planning area differ widely from the dense Charlotte city center, to newer suburban residential and strip shopping developments typically with unconnected transportation networks, to rural areas in Union and Iredell Counties that have remained virtually unchanged over the last few decades. These land use patterns have a significant effect on travel patterns, including number of trips, trip length and time, and the choice of mode.
The majority of the longer trips are taken to access employment centers as well as to carry out other daily activities such as shopping and household errands, dropping off / picking up children at school, and dining out. There are numerous large activity and employment centers located throughout the planning area that attract trips, with several of the larger, regional centers generating significant amounts of traffic.
The map in Figure 10-1 shows the average commute times for CRTPO residents in each Census Tract. These commute times are broken down in the following manner: 0-10 minutes, 11-20 minutes, 21-30 minutes, 31-45 minutes, and 46-53 minutes. As noted in the section above, the majority of the commute times are within the 21-30 minute range. Shorter commute times are reported for areas closer to the City of Charlotte and the City of Statesville. There are two census tracts for which this information was not available. The northern tract contains the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, and the southern tract appears to be primarily commercial.
Congestion
In order to gauge congestion and its costs, travel metrics, such as “Delay per Auto Commuter” and “Annual Congestion Costs per Auto Commuter” are often used. The Delay per Auto Commuter metric measures the number of person-hours spent annually by private vehicle drivers and passengers. The Annual Congestion Costs per Auto Commuter metric measures the economic impacts of congestion.
The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) utilizes these metrics, as well as several other indicators, to measure congestion for 101 metropolitan areas ranging in size from small to very large. This information is published annually in the TTI Annual Urban Mobility Report. The annual hours of delay per auto commuter and the annual costs of congestion for the City of Charlotte, other large cities in the US (defined as urbanized areas with a population of 1 to 3 million), and the US as a whole are shown in Tables 10-1 and 10-2 below.
According to Urban Mobility Report data from 2007 to 2011, the average delay per Charlotte auto commuter has hovered around nearly 40 hours, slightly above both the average for the large cities and the US as a whole.

The Urban Mobility Report dataset was also used to calculate the monetary costs of this congestion, which is determined through the loss of time, cost of excess gasoline, and other factors. Charlotte has an average annual congestion cost of $904 which is slightly above that of other large cities ($787) and the US ($805) as a whole.

Travel Demand ModelImportance of the Travel Demand Model
The Metrolina Regional Travel Demand Model, which is the model employed in the CRTPO region, is an important tool that facilitates rigorous analysis of travel patterns and supplements the analysis of the population, employment, travel trends and patterns discussed above. The model contains the geographic distribution of land uses, including the locations of residences, jobs, schools, and other community facilities. Also represented in the model are the roads and transit routes that individuals use to travel between activity locations. In order to understand the travel patterns at an appropriate scale, the model divides the region into smaller transportation analysis zones (TAZs). The TAZs, connected by the road and transit networks, are assigned socioeconomic data representing elements such as population, employment, households, median income, and other attributes that contribute to the travel patterns.

10-6 Chapter 10
With the recent expansion of the CRTPO planning area, the number of TAZs has increased from 1,487 to 1,816 to incorporate the additional geographic area. This is an addition of 338 TAZs. Table 10-3 shows the number of TAZs prior to the planning area expansion, as well as the current number of TAZs, by CRTPO County.

Prior to Expansion Subsequent to ExpansionMecklenburg 1,057 1,170
Union 352 356
Iredell 78 290
Total 1,487 1,816
The model is designed to characterize the current travel conditions, roadway traffic, and transit ridership. In addition, it quantifies future travel demand based on future projections of population and employment as well as incorporating any improvements to the transportation system. With this existing data and future projections, the model enables the analysis of transportation investment alternatives in the region. In addition, travel demand modeling also provides quantitative information useful for ensuring the set of planned transportation projects does not interfere with the state’s plans to improve air quality.
Four Step Modeling Process
The Metrolina Regional Travel Demand model is referred to as a four step model. The four steps include trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and trip assignment. The first step, trip generation, takes the amount of population, employment, and other attributes of each TAZ to predict the number of trips that originate or terminate in the zone. The second step of trip distribution matches the “from” and “to” trips together. The third step is for each trip to identify the mode of transportation, which includes, but is not limited to, driving alone, carpooling, walking to a local bus, driving to an express bus, or walking or driving to light rail transit. Finally, in the fourth step, after identifying the trips origin and destination and the travel mode, the trip is assigned to a specific route given the options and conditions.
Model Updates
The model’s ability to represent travel depends in large part on surveys of the travel behavior of real people. In 2012, a household travel interview survey was administered to update the trip generation and trip distribution models and to modify the treatment of different times of day. Other updated data was also used from the 2010 Census, including from the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) and the 2005-2011 American Community Survey (ACS). Data was also collected in 2013 from a non-freeway component of the External Travel Survey.

Types of Trips
In the regional travel demand model, trips are classified by trip purpose. Broadly, trips can be grouped into three purposes:
�� Home-Based Work: These trips are from home to work and from work back to home. They occur more heavily in peak hours and are a large component of congestion.
�� Home-Based Other: These trips begin or end at home and cover the range of other trips that people make – those to or from school, shopping, visiting friends, or appointments.
�� Non-Home-Based: These are the trips made while people are out of their residence, either at work (e.g. a trip to lunch), or between stops while running errands (e.g. a trip from the grocery store to the cleaners). Generally, given their nature, non-home-based trips are shorter than home-based trips and are often made at off-peak travel times.
Trips can be made on highways, either driving alone or carpooling/vanpooling with others; by riding transit; or by biking or walking. Two other major groups of travelers use the highway system and include commercial vehicle and truck trips, and external/internal trips. External/internal trips are those that start in the region and end outside the region, or conversely, those that start outside of the region and end at a destination inside of the region. These trips also include those that pass through without stopping.
There are a number of indicators that can be used to help measure the efficiency of the transportation system and how well the mobility needs of the traveling public are met. These indicators include trip related information as well as infrastructure related data. Utilizing these indicators can assist in the identification of deficiencies and steps to help address the identified deficiencies. These indicators include person trips, vehicle trips, roadway lane miles, daily vehicle miles of travel and transit vehicle service miles. Details and data for each of these indicators are provided in the following tables.
Person Trips
A person trip is made by any person traveling on any of the highway or transit modes that exist or are projected to exist within CRTPO’s planning area. Tables 10-4, 10-5 and 10-6 show the growth in the number of person trips for Mecklenburg County, the portion of Union County within CRTPO, and the portion of Iredell County within CRTPO, respectively.

Vehicle Trips
In addition to the person trip tables shown above, the Metrolina travel demand model also provides information about the number of vehicle trips. Table 10-7 shows the total number of vehicle trips across a 16 county area, to and from the counties within CRTPO’s planning area. Unlike the tables on the previous pages that are broken out by trip purpose, these vehicle trips include all trip purposes. It is interesting to note that the highest number of trips start and end in Mecklenburg County. The most trips between two different counties occur between Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties, followed by trips between Mecklenburg and Union counties.

Daily Vehicle Miles of Travel
Roadway usage is best measured by the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT). VMT is the sum of all miles of vehicular trips made over all segments of the roadway system. Tables 10-8, 10-9, and 10-10 show the estimates of average daily VMT in Mecklenburg County, the CRTPO portion of Union County, and the CRTPO portion of Iredell County, respectively.

Transit Vehicle Service Miles
Improvements to the transit system are an important component of the MTP. The Charlotte area has long had traditional fixed route bus service, and began exploring premium transit service within the last few decades; light rail service began in Charlotte in 2007. Ridership has been strong, and the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) plans to extend the light rail line and open a commuter rail as well as a streetcar line during the next 25 years. In addition to building new premium transit lines, CATS will continue to expand the bus system that serves other areas and supports the premium lines. More details of these transit planning improvements can be found in the Public Transportation chapter.
Vehicle service miles – the miles traveled by transit buses and trains operating on routes picking up or dropping passengers – is a standard measure of estimating the level of transit service. Table 10-11, below, shows the daily vehicle service miles, by transit mode, projected to be provided during the period of this MTP. Table 10-12 shows the number of passengers estimated to use the transit services during each average weekday.

Roadway Lane Miles
In order to keep pace with the projected growth in person trips, more highway and transit capacity will need to be provided. The location and amount of capacity added will determine how many trips can be served adequately by highways or transit.
The projects listed in the Streets and Highways chapter will add freeway and thoroughfare capacity to the network. The best way to measure the quantity of capacity provided by these projects is by the statistic of lane miles. Lane miles are the length of a street segment multiplied by the number of lanes. By measuring lane miles, both new facilities and road widening projects (adding lanes) are reflected in the totals.
Tables 10-13, 10-14, and 10-15 show the projected growth in lane miles in CRTPO’s planning area that were modeled for the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).
