CMAQ Project ID: MD20020010: Project Year: 2002; Location: Maryland; MPO: No MPO Identified State-sponsored Project; Description: 11 County Ridesharing Program Operations - This project will promote and encourage the establishment of carpools and vanpools in eleven Maryland Ridesharing Programs. The programs are operated by Anne Arundel County, Baltimore Metropolitan Council, Calvert Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George's counties AND Tri-County Council.

Travel Impacts
Δ Vehicle trips	- 3,000 /day	METHODOLOGY/ASSUMPTIONS:
Δ VMT	- 84,000 /day	Assumes 12,360 individual rideshare applicants in the eleven programs (based on actual data from past years). Vehicle trips reduced = 12,360 applicants * 0.24 formation rate = 3,000 vehicle trips reduced per day (assumes 24 percent of total applicants will take part in ridesharing each day). VMT reduced = 3,000 vehicle trips * 28 miles = 84,000 vehicle miles per day (assumes one-way trip is 14 miles).

NOTE: The documentation is unclear on details about the cost assumptions. The travel methodology suggests that the program budget on which the trip reduction benefits are estimated is $250,000/year, though this is supposed to be the budget without overhead; for this project. Moreover, the effectiveness calculation is based on an assumption of 2.04 vehicle trips reduced per day for each $1 of the program, but documentation was not provided; it is unclear where this metric was derived and whether it is appropriate for this program.

CMAQ Project ID: Not Yet Assigned: Project Year: 2007; Location: Birmingham, AL; MPO: Birmingham Regional Planning Commission; Description: CommuteSmart Commuter Services Program Operations - The project will fund the continuing operation of the CommuteSmart Commuter Services Program in Birmingham, Alabama. The program includes a ridesharing database, a vanpool program with up to 34 vans in 2007 and a carpool program.

Travel Impacts
Δ Vehicle trips	- 311.78 /day	METHODOLOGY/ASSUMPTIONS:

NOTE: The project description provided by the sponsor lists a purchase of 15 vehicles, while the project description in the CMAQ database describes this project as the purchase of 70 vans. The project cost provided by the sponsor lists the project cost as $377,582, while the database lists the CMAQ-allotted funds as $448,000. The discrepancy might stem from the difference in the amount of vehicles purchased. The calculation does not explicitly account for any increase in emissions from the vans operating.

Subcategory: Vanpool Program

CMAQ Project ID: KY20060004: Project Year: 2006; Location: Lexington, Kentucky; MPO: Lexington Area MPO; Description: 6 New Vans for LexTran Vanpool Service - This project is the purchase of six new 12-passenger vans for LexVan, a commuter vanpool program managed by the Lexington Bluegrass Mobility Office. LexVan leases these passenger vans to groups of people who vanpool to work. The passengers are matched to a vanpool group using ridesharing computer software and each passenger pays a monthly fare which covers all operating costs, fuel, and insurance. This program has a direct effect in reducing the number of Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOVs) during peak hours.

Travel Impacts
Δ Vehicle trips	- 132 /day	METHODOLOGY/ASSUMPTIONS:
Δ VMT	- 3,300 /day	Each new van removes a maximum of 11 SOVs from the road system and has a 50 mile average LexVan round trip. Vehicle trip reduction = 6 vans x 11 SOV removal x 2 trips = 132 vehicle trips removed per day. VMT reduction = 132 vehicle trips removed x 25 miles per trip (based on 50 mile round trip) = 3,300 VMT reduction/day.

Travel Impacts
Δ Vehicle trips	0	METHODOLOGY/ASSUMPTIONS:
Δ VMT	- 23/day	Vehicle trip reduction = 50 parking spaces * 15% utilization rate * 15% new riders = 1.15 vehicle trips reduced per day (zero change in trip starts). VMT reduction = 1.15 vehicle trips reduced * 20 mile round trip = 23 vehicle miles reduced per day.

NOTES: Assumptions regarding travel impacts seem very low. In particular, a 15% utilization rate means that on average only 7.5 of the 50 new spaces are utilized, and only about one person per day is assumed to reducing a vehicle trip. Also, the assumption of a 20 mile round trip (10 miles each way) for a park and ride trip sounds low, particularly given that the lots are located in Cecil County, about 20 miles from Wilmington, DE and from Aberdeen, MD, and 40 miles from close-in Baltimore suburbs. In the CMAQ database, this project appears to have been improperly listed as in the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments' MPO. Current Maryland State Highway Administration web site shows 25 spaces at I-95 @ MD 279 (Elkton) lot and 17 spaces at I-95 @ MD 272 (Elkton) lot.

CMAQ Project ID: WA20010004, WA20050035: Project Year: 2005; Location: Seattle, Washington; MPO: Puget Sound Regional Council; Description: Expansion of Terrace Station Transfer Lot to 880 Spaces - This project will fund the construction of a multi-level parking structure on the lower-level of an existing park-and-ride lot located at I-5 and 236th Street SW.. The new garage will increase parking capacity from 388 to 880 spaces. Improvements will also be made to the elevators, pedestrian walkways, landscaping, lighting, bicycle racks, and security features. The Terrace Station park and ride primarily serves downtown Seattle and the University of Washington, for an average one-way distance of 12 miles.

Travel Impacts
Δ Vehicle trips	0	METHODOLOGY/ASSUMPTIONS:
Δ VMT	- 8,856 /day	VMT reductions were calculated using a 12 mile average one-way trip distance from the lot to a final destination and the number of additional parking stalls added (492). Daily VMT reduction = 492 spaces x 75% utilization x 12 miles one-way trip length x 2 trips = 8,856 VMT reduction).
