APPENDIX A TRANSIT DEMAND ESTIMATES METHODOLOGY
This appendix describes the approach taken to assess future transit market potential for both
local intra-community trips and regional inter-city trips. The purpose of this assessment was to
identify those transit markets in the CET service area that have strong potential for future service
enhancements. Based on the results of the assessment, potential service types were identified
that are appropriate for serving intra-community and inter-community trips in these transit
markets and service concepts were developed.
Methodology
Demand/Ridership Estimation Approach
The project team used the following approach1 to develop estimates of future transit demand in
and between the communities in the CET service area:
The regional travel demand model provided the number of
daily trips within and between cities in both current and
future years.
The 2003 base year for the model was adjusted to the
current year (2012), assuming constant annual
growth.
Other sources were be used to validate/supplement
the model, e.g., work trips (U.S. Census LEHD).
Existing ridership data (2012) was used to determine the
existing transit mode split (the travel demand model does
not address transit).
Market potential was evaluated qualitatively based on a
series of adjustment factors (see below).
The existing mode split was adjusted and used to estimate
future (2030) transit market potential.
1 In the initial version of this memo, a “population segmentation” method was planned for the intra-community demand estimates, anticipating that travel demand model data would not be available for intra-community trips. This method utilizes population data from the U.S. Census, broken out by age, and per-capita transit trip rates from the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). These broad average trip rates would then need to be adjusted for local conditions. However, regional travel demand model data was available for all local communities and this alternative method was not required.

Mode Split Adjustments
When people choose to use transit they must weigh a number of complex and inter-related factors
before deciding it is the right mode for them. For example, people must consider the cost, time,
and convenience of all of their travel options before making a decision. While people are adept at
making these complex decisions, and can do so with relative ease, it is much more difficult to
predict future transit travel behavior based solely on model data. Still, model data is the best
place to start and provides planners with a basis from which to estimate how many of those trips
could potentially be made on transit.
To help refine the demand estimation process, a number of “adjustment factors” (first column of
Figure A-2) were used to make an assessment of the future market potential for transit. Each
factor was assessed on a Low-Medium-High rating scale, based on data and/or local knowledge,
and each local community or regional travel corridor was assessed as having either a Low,
Medium or High potential for future transit enhancements. A rating of Low does not necessarily
mean that transit demand is low, but rather that the potential for enhancements over what is
currently being provided is low.
Figure A-2 identifies the data source for each adjustment factor and describes how these factors
were evaluated within each community and for each regional connection (origin-destination pair).
The project team developed an initial assessment, requested that TAC members provide input
and/or modify/refine the initial assessment based on their knowledge and understanding of each
community and the region, and revised the assessment based on feedback received.

2012 Estimated Transit Mode Split and 2030 Baseline Transit Ridership
Figure A-4 (intra-community) and Figure A-6 (inter-community) include the following estimates.
Existing (2012) ridership and mode split2. For inter-community trips, it should be
emphasized that transit ridership represents linked trips, i.e., a trip from Prineville to
Bend is counted as a single linked trip, but represents two unlinked trips — one on the
Prineville – Redmond and one on the Redmond – Bend Community Connector routes.3
For each transit market (origin-destination for the linked transit trip), the 2012 mode
split was calculated as 2012 linked transit trips divided by the 2012 number of total trips,
from the travel demand model.4 The Existing Conditions Volume and Appendix B of this
volume provide additional background on existing use of the Community Connector
service, including unlinked trips, productivity, and existing vehicle capacity.
Unadjusted baseline 2030 transit ridership estimate. This represents projected
2030 travel demand assuming the estimated 2012 mode split. It does not reflect response
to potential service changes, which could help attract unmet demand. Although this
estimate is a useful data point, it reflects a degree of uncertainty in existing linked transit
trips and total trips, as described in footnotes. Its primary use is for comparing ridership
estimates for specific service enhancements to the baseline level (no enhancements) in
each transit market, i.e., on a relative rather than absolute basis.
2 Mode split is the share of all trips for a particular travel mode. It is differentiated from mode share, which typically describes use of a particular mode for work trips, such as in the American Community Survey. The transit mode split is typically lower than the transit mode share.
3 The number of linked trips was estimated based on the on-board survey conducted on Community Connector routes, which provided a sample of passenger origin-destination patterns over an approximately week-long period. A more comprehensive survey that captures origin-destination patterns of all Community Connector riders on a given day would allow a more accurate estimate of linked trips to be developed.
4 The number of total trips in 2012 was a straight-line estimate assuming a constant rate of growth between 2003 and 2030 (the base and future years for the model). Due to the economic downturn, this likely overstates actual 2012 travel demand (particularly for work trips), and therefore results in a lower mode split.

Summary
In summary, for each community or travel corridor, the travel demand model and existing
ridership data were used identify the number of overall trips, projected growth in overall travel
demand, the number of transit trips, the existing transit mode split (transit’s share of each travel
market). Based on this data, an assessment of individual transit market factors and overall transit
market potential was developed. The overall assessment of future market potential was primarily
used to:
Identify the transit markets with the greatest future potential.
Identify potential future service types for each community or travel corridor.
Serve as the basis for developing local and regional service options.

Quantitative - relative ranking of intra-community work flows
Can be adjusted qualitatively based on future expectations for 2030
Quantitative - relative ranking of inter-community work flows
Can be adjusted qualitatively based on adjustments to the local community rating
A high rating indicates the presence of a large number of workers (i.e., potential transit riders) in a local or regional travel market.
Presence of major regional activity centers and non-work generators
Activity centers map and local knowledge
Qualitative assessment for each community
Assigned based on the local rating for the destination community
A high rating indicates that a local community has activity centers that would attract non-work trips, such as medical facilities, community college, social service agency, etc.
Travel distance and/or congestion (monetary cost and time constraints)
Local knowledge and/or travel demand model
Qualitative assessment for each community
Qualitative assessment for each O-D pair
A high rating implies long travel distances and therefore a higher cost of driving (e.g., cost of gas). It is assumed based on the travel demand model that no significant congestion constraints will develop on intercity travel corridors.
Parking constraints, e.g., availability, time limits, monetary cost, etc.
Local knowledge Qualitative assessment for each community – may include future (2030) expectations
Assigned based on the local rating for the destination community
A moderate rating indicates that parking constraints are present today (e.g., time limited parking in downtown Bend or constrained availability at COCCC), or are expected to develop by 2030. High parking constraints are not anticipated in any community by 2030.
Local transit connections
Existing transit service Qualitative assessment for each community – may include future (2030) expectations
Assigned based on the local rating for the destination community
A high rating is related to the quality and availability of transit service, e.g., fixed-route service six days per week in Bend vs. local Dial-A-Ride only one day per week in Sisters.
Community support Local knowledge and community preferences survey data
Qualitative assessment for each community
Assigned based on the local rating for the destination community
A high rating reflects perceived community support for service within a community or on a particular connection.
Overall assessment of future market potential
- Qualitative assessment for each community
Qualitative assessment for each O-D pair
A high rating indicates strong overall potential for future growth in a local or regional travel market.

Interpreting “Box Plot” Graphics
The charts below show data for individual Community Connector routes (summarized by route, by trip, or by stop) over two one month periods (October 2012 and January 2013). Each vertical bar represents the range of data over a month-long period:
Top of vertical line = Maximum ridership
Top of vertical box = 75th percentile ridership
Middle of vertical box = Median ridership
Bottom of vertical box = 25th percentile ridership
Bottom of line = Minimum ridership
Horizontal lines across some of the graphics represent the seated passenger capacity of typical vehicles used on the route (based on Figure B-3).
The graphics were used to inform planning decisions about each route, particularly for the short-term time frame.
