Operations Planning Process• Ridership Forecasting

– Daily and hourly ridership forecasts– Boardings and alightings by station

• Operations Planning– Required buses per hour– Bus fleet size

Ridership Forecasting(Regional Model)

• Ridership - key input into operations planning process– Sufficient service to comfortably accommodate estimated

riders• Customized version of Metropolitan Washington

Council of Governments Regional TransportationModel– Model of regional transportation network– Model purposes:

• Air quality conformity analysis– EPA Certification

• Project planning– Results calibrated against actual data

Ridership Forecasting(Project Specific Model)

• Regional model further customized– Accurately reflect walk distances and access to transit– Accurately reflect how people choose modes– Accurately reflect non-work trips

• All results validated against actual real-world data• Purple Line variant of the regional model

– Certified by the Federal Transit Administration• CCT model – customized version of Purple Line

Operations Planning• Step 1 – Final Policy Guidelines

– Vehicle type• 60’ articulated vehicle with 60 seats• Diesel-Electric Hybrid

– Acceptable maximum passenger load• 60 seated/30 standing passengers per vehicle (industry standard)

– Services utilizing transitway• Only CCT branded vehicles

– Two route patterns – CCT Direct and CCT via USG– No proposed changes to RideOn, WMATA, or local shuttle

Networks• Ongoing co-ordination with agencies

– Elements impacting CCT operations• Fare collection approach• Transit Signal Priority• Vehicle configuration

Operations Planning (cont.)

• Step 2 – Calculate required # of buses perhour– Ridership forecast - determine maximum

passenger load location and hour• AM Peak• Mid-Day

– Maximum load will dictate the required number ofbuses per hour

Operations Planning (cont.)• Step 2 – cont.

– Maximum Load – 893• Northbound between East Gaither and West Gaither

– Required # of Bus Arrivals• 893/90 passengers (allowable load) = 9.92 = 10 buses

on CCT Direct required per hour to meet demand– Frequency = 60/10 = a bus every 6 minutes

Operations Planning• Step 4 – Calculate Opening Year Vehicle

Requirements– CCT via USG – 7 vehicles– CCT Direct – 15 vehicles– Total Service Requirement = 22 vehicles– Spare Vehicle Requirement = 5 vehicles– 27 vehicles in fleet

• Full fleet estimate in 2035 – 39 vehicles
