Our Rail~Volution Session
Ι Transportation and Land Use in the 21st Century and Beyond
Ι What will our cities and regions look like 20 years from now?
Ι Fifty years from now?
Ι The decisions we make today about shaping our communities toward
more walkable, sustainable, economically viable design will be
important in the future.
Ι This overview session focuses on new projects, modes and ways of
thinking for dealing with urban realities and challenges around the
world.
Ι Take a close look at the innovative planning efforts being undertaken
in three progressive areas and see how those efforts can be translated
to your region.

UBC Line Rapid Transit Project – Problem Statements
Ι The problem statement defines the „purpose and need‟ for the study
Ι Agreed UBC Line Rapid Transit Project problem statements developed:
■ Existing transit services do not provide sufficient capacity or reliable
enough service to the major regional destinations and economic hubs
within the Broadway Corridor
■ Transit trips and mode share need to increase to reduce vehicle
kilometres traveled (VKT) and GHG emissions, both directly
and by supporting the Regional Growth Strategy and other
regional objectives
■ Regional funding for transit is limited and needs to balance a range
of rapid transit investment priorities

UBC Line Rapid Transit Project – Vision and Mission
Ι The Vision explains the overall aim or purpose of the UBC Line
Rapid Transit Project
■ A rapid transit service that serves and shapes a great region and
communities and strengthens its livability and sustainability by
providing a viable alternative to the private car
Ι The Mission defines how the planning will be done and what
outcomes the UBC Line should achieve/deliver
■ To plan a rapid transit service that is accessible, convenient, safe,
reliable and environmentally and financially sustainable that
integrates with the regional transportation system and contributes
to the achievement of transportation, environmental and land use
objectives and targets

MAE Accounts
Ι Social Community - major community impacts
■ Fit with the existing community; pedestrian and cycle links and
connections; impacts on First Nations; ability to improve accessibility to
transit and mobility for low-income households (equity); impacts to
quality of life; noise; health benefits; security and safety implications;
visual intrusion and community cohesion/severance; and, effects on
heritage and archeology.
Ι Transportation - impacts on transit users and non-transit users affected by the
project.
■ Value of the change in travel time for transit and road users; automobile
operating cost savings for road users; safety benefits; travel time
reliability and system crowding.
Ι Urban Development - impact on land value and land use
■ Value uplift at/between station areas; potential property tax increases;
general impacts on land use.

MAE Accounts
Ι Deliverability - implementation and feasibility issues
■ Constructability; acceptability (public and political); funding; and policy
support.
Ι Economic Development - direct and indirect income and employment
impacts: short-term (during construction) and long-term (ongoing
operations)
■ Incremental employment, income and GDP during construction;
incremental annual employment, income and GDP during the operational
phase; incremental taxes (provincial and federal); impact on goods
movement.

MAE Accounts
Ι Environment - a high level assessment to identify the likely
environmental impacts of the options:
■ impacts of the construction and operation; effects on reductions in GHG
emissions over the life of the project; nature and magnitude of other
environmental impacts.
Ι Financial – all fiscal measures, expressed as a net present value (NPV)
of costs.
■ Includes: direct costs of building and operating the service; direct
revenues from the operation of the service; and, indirect costs and
revenues that are either incurred or avoided due to the rapid transit
service.
