FY 2012 - 2014Commuter Connections TERM Analysis
Results
TBP Technical CommitteeDecember 5, 2014
ITEM #8
BY 2040, IT IS PREDICTED THAT THERE WILL BE 4 MILLION MORE TRIPS EACH DAY IN THE REGION -- A 24% INCREASE OVER TODAY
The TPB is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the region
Regional Growth Projections
Today:5.3 million residents 2.7 million workers
Daily Travel – Trips By Mode

TERM Evaluation Cycle
Objective of Evaluation
Apply methodology outlined in Evaluation Framework to:
Estimate effectiveness of Commuter Connections TERMs
Telework Guaranteed Ride Home Employer Outreach Mass Marketing
Document results of Commuter Operations Center
Adjust impacts for overlap among programs
Performance Continuum
Awareness Participation Utilization Impacts and and and Attitudes Satisfaction Influence
Awareness – modes/programs Attitudes – willing to try modes
Participation – services used Satisfaction – with programs
Utilization – mode / travel changes Influences – motivations for change
Impacts of change (travel / AQ / energy)
Impact Calculation Approach
Impact calculation approach uses series of “multiplier” factors, applied to user population
Target / User Population e.g. GRH registrants
Vehicle trips reduced by mode changes
VMT reduced bymode changes
Emissions reduced

Impacts for All TERMs + COC (Jul 2011 – Jun 2014)
Comparison of collective goals against collective impacts, including Commuter Operations Center
Goal Impact Net
Trips reduced 109,594 131,830 22,236 +20%
VMT reduced 2,162,400 2,473,326 310,926+14%
NOx reduced 1.098 T 1.061 T (0.037) T - 3%
VOC reduced 0.654 T 0.533 T (0.121) T -19%
Met vehicle trip and VMT goals
Shortfall in emission goals due to reduced emission factors for 2015 (cleaner cars) and shift to MOVES emission model
The four TERMs met the collective goals for both vehicle trips (+10%) and VMT reduced (+6%)
CC programs overall (TERMs + COC)
exceeded the VT reduction goal (+20%) and VMT goal (+14%)
TERMs did not meet emissions goals, but this was due to a change in the emission model (MOVES) and reductions in the 2014 emission factors, compared to the factors used when the goals were established in 2005
