IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
1 Introduction The City of London is updating its Development Charges (DC) By-law. IBI Group, in association with Hemson Consulting, was retained to prepare the Transportation Background Study for the 2019 DC update.
This report documents the transportation component of the development charges by-law addressing road and transit services, including the growth-related capital program, approach to deductions, and allocation of costs.
1.1 Background Development charges are a tool for municipalities to recover costs associated with capital works to facilitate and serve growth. Municipalities can apply a charge on new development to finance growth-related infrastructure and services. The Development Charges Act (DCA) governs the calculation of rates and collection of charges in Ontario.
The City of London uses development charges to fund growth-related infrastructure and services including roads, transit, fire, police, libraries, parks and recreation, sewers, water distribution, stormwater management and corporate growth studies. It is the intent of Council that growth-related capital costs be recovered from revenues generated from new development.
DC rates are authorized and administered under a City by-law. The current DC by-law came into force on August 4, 2014, and will expire on August 3, 2019. The process to replace the expiring by-law includes the preparation of a DC background study and consultation with stakeholders and the public.
Since the completion of the 2014 DC Transportation Background Study, amendments to the Development Charges Act and Ontario Regulation 82/98 came into effect on January 1, 2016. The following amendments are intended to assist municipalities in funding improvements to their transit networks:
• Capital costs for Transit services are no longer subject to a 10% legislated discount; and
• The Transit capital program is no longer constrained by a 10-year historical level of service. Rather, the increase in the need for the service is restricted by a planned level of service over the 10-year period following preparation of the DC background study.
Further information related to the implications of the amendments to Transit is provided in Appendix A. The approach in this 2019 DC Transportation Background Study has taken into account these changes.

1.2 Transportation Context The City of London’s strategic documents that provide context and direction for the long-term transportation system are summarized below.
The London Plan (2016) The City’s Official Plan – The London Plan – emerged from community consultation on city-building and set new goals and priorities to shape the growth, preservation, and evolution of London over the next 20 years. The London Plan was approved by Council on June 23, 2016, and by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs on December 28, 2016.
London’s population will grow substantially over the next 20 years and the form in which this growth takes place will have implications on infrastructure and operating costs. Two key directions of The London Plan that guide the development of the transportation system are to build a mixed-use compact city and to place a new emphasis on creating attractive mobility choices.
The London Plan introduced a new street classification system that sets the stage for context-sensitive city-building policies and mobility for Londoners. Each street classification has an intended character, goal and function for planning and design. The new street classifications and their equivalent classification under the previous Official Plan are presented in Exhibit 1.1.
[Note: In this transportation background study, the generic term “arterial road” will be used for all roads that serve a non-local function.]
The London Plan recommended the preparation of a Complete Streets Manual to guide the planning and design of streets using a “complete streets” approach and establish cross-sections and design parameters for the public realm. The Complete Streets Design Manual was approved by Council in August 2018. (Refer to page 4 for more information on the Complete Streets Design Manual.)

Note: The specifics of each road classification are provided in more detail in The London Plan.
London 2030 Transportation Master Plan In 2012, Council approved A New Mobility Transportation Master Plan for London that set the vision and an implementation plan to guide how the City’s future population will move, live, work and play. The TMP was all encompassing and embraced provincial initiatives, sound engineering, financial prudence, and emerging planning principles to shape growth in London through to 2030 and beyond.
The TMP study was guided by a Council-supported vision that was transit focused and the recommendations of the TMP are primarily designed to provide sustainable transportation infrastructure, support a green and growing city, and support a strong economy. Achieving the vision requires that the City consider changing the way growth is managed and directing growth in a manner that supports an efficient and effective transit system.
The TMP identified five “Smart Moves” to achieve the vision: 1. Rethinking Growth to Support the Transportation Master Plan 2. Taking Transit to the Next Level 3. Actively Managing Transportation Demand 4. Greater Investment in Cycling and Walking Infrastructure 5. More Strategic Program of Road Network Improvements

Rapid Transit Master Plan (2017) London’s Rapid Transit Master Plan identified and evaluated several rapid transit alternatives for London and recommended a preferred rapid transit alternative that met the City’s economic development, mobility and community building objectives while still being operationally feasible and economically viable.
The Rapid Transit Master Plan was approved by Council on July 25, 2017. The Master Plan report addressed Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process. The Rapid Transit project is continuing under the Transit Project Assessment Process.
London Transit Commission Transit Network – Rapid Transit Integration Framework (2016) The London Transit Commission (LTC) developed a Rapid Transit Integration Framework to provide a strategy and financial plan to modify the LTC route network to better integrate with the proposed Rapid Transit network.
Changes to the LTC network were recommended based on service design principles to maintain connections, meet policy-based headways, provide direct service and minimize duplication with the Rapid Transit service. LTC routes were proposed to be altered or eliminated, and new routes were proposed to build upon a rapid transit spine.
The Rapid Transit Integration Framework was intended to provide strategic direction on how the LTC network should operate with Rapid Transit recognizing that the annual service plan process will lead to differences from the recommendations set out in the framework.
Complete Streets Design Manual (2018) The Complete Streets approach is a planning and design process that considers all the uses and users of a street. This includes travellers of all modes – pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and motorists – and the operations and maintenance of the street for those travellers.
In many ways, the City of London has already been designing more complete streets that include faciltiies or pedestrians and cyclists. In August 2018, Council approved the Complete Streets Design Manual which formally adopted the Complete Streets approach. In line with The London Plan, the City is encouraging the design and development of streets to more effectively meet the needs of all users of the street. Accommodating cycling and walking are key components of a Complete Streets approach where all streets are accessible and appropriate for the needs of all users regardless of age, ability and confidence. The Complete Streets Design Manual provides example street typologies and design guidance for each street classification that illustrate the desired cross-section and intersection design.

Going forward, it is envisioned that all road projects in London, including projects identified in this Transportation Background Study, will be planned and designed using the Complete Streets approach.
1.3 Inside this Report The Transportation Background Study is organized as follows:
Chapter 2: Policy Considerations – this chapter provides an overview of policies that determine road and transit infrastructure that are eligible for development charges.
Chapter 3: Future Transportation Needs – this chapter describes future travel demand needs and the recommended road and transit infrastructure to accommodate growth.
Chapter 4: Roads Program – this chapter documents the historical and planned levels of service, applicable deductions, allocation of eligible costs to growth and a summary of the road infrastructure costs.
Chapter 5: Transit Program – this chapter documents the planned level of service, applicable deductions, allocation of eligible costs to growth and a summary of the transit infrastructure costs.

2 Policy Considerations Transportation-related services that are eligible for DC funding include improvements to all roads under the City’s jurisdiction that service a non-local function. Local services are considered to be a direct developer responsibility and may be recovered under other agreements with the landowner or developer. DC-eligible roads typically have one of the following classifications in The London Plan:
• Provincial Highway • Expressway • Rapid Transit Boulevard • Urban Thoroughfare
• Civic Boulevard • Main Street • Rural Thoroughfare • Rural Connector
Other transportation infrastructure under the City’s jurisdiction that supports alternative modes of transportation, such as sidewalks, multi‐use paths, bikes lanes, and transit stops are also eligible for DC funding.
2.1 Local Service Policies Transportation infrastructure that provides a local service, such as Neighbourhood Streets and Neighbourhood Connectors, are considered local services and construction is undertaken at the developer’s expense. Local service examples, consistent with the City’s current by-law, include, but are not limited to:
• Connections of all new streets, roads, cycling lanes, ramps or entrances to the existing road infrastructure, including features and design details.
• Any upgrade or reinforcement of a sidewalk across the development’s access beyond City standards. Local services also include pedestrian paths, walkways, bridges and tunnels, including related lighting and signage.
• Traffic signals installed at all entrances that do not meet MTO warrants are local services.
• Street lighting at intersections with existing roads are also the developer’s responsibility, where required by the development agreement.
• Restoration of any utility cuts or damage created by construction activities are the developer’s responsibility, along with the costs related to the upgrading or relocation of any utility plant, unless necessitated by the roadwork.
• Other defined local services include various works along the development frontage, such as tree planting or placing fill, retaining walls, temporary works, noisewalls, topsoil and sod to the end of an existing sidewalk or road.

2.2 DC-Eligible Roadworks Road projects that are fully or partially driven by growth are eligible for DC funding. Examples of DC-eligible roadworks are provided below.
2.2.1 Major Roadworks The cost of constructing a new arterial road, extending an arterial road, widening an arterial road, or constructing major intersection improvements such as roundabouts are eligible for DC funding, including the costs for structures, utility relocation, noise barrier walls, engineering, contingency and land acquisition.
The benefit to existing development (Non-Growth) is determined using a road rehabilitation approach where the cost of rehabilitating the existing road surface is considered to be the share allocated to existing development.
2.2.2 Two-Lane Arterial Upgrades Two-lane Arterial Upgrades that are driven by increased traffic volumes and safety concerns are eligible for DC funding. As with Major Roadworks, the benefit to existing development (Non-Growth) is determined using a road rehabilitation approach where the cost of rehabilitating the existing road surface is considered to be the share allocated to existing development.
2.2.3 BRT-Related Arterial Roadworks Arterial roadworks on BRT corridors are eligible for DC funding, including the costs for the structures, utility relocation, noise barrier walls, engineering, contingency and land acquisition.
The benefit to existing development (Non-Growth) is determined using a road rehabilitation approach where the cost of rehabilitating the existing road surface is considered to be the share allocated to existing development.
2.2.4 Minor Roadworks Minor Roadworks, including traffic signals, channelization, sidewalks and street lighting, that are needed to accommodate increased traffic volumes are eligible for DC funding and considered to be 100% attributable to Growth.
Minor Roadwork projects that have been identified in the program are included as a proxy and specific projects may change depending on emergent needs as identified by the City Engineer.

IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
2.2.5 Additional Programs Urban Intersections The need for intersection improvements can arise from growth that is not in the areas immediately adjacent to the intersection. As growth continues city-wide, the City has a program to implement necessary intersection improvements, including traffic signals, street lighting and sidewalks. On average two urban intersections are upgraded each year.
Rural Intersections Growth within the City, particularly within the periphery of the urban area, can lead to urban traffic using rural roads. Upgrades to rural roads are required to address traffic volumes and safety considerations. The City has a program to implement necessary intersection improvements at a rate of one rural intersection per year.
Active Transportation Active transportation plays an important role in providing mobility to residents and workers in the City of London. As identified in the London 2030 TMP, active transportation is key to offering choice to the public. Active transportation facilities, such as sidewalks, multiuse paths, and bicycle lanes, are important components of the overall transportation system. The London ON Bikes Cycling Master Plan (2016) developed a network of on- and off-road cycling facilities, and an action and implementation plan to achieve the city-wide vision for cycling.
Where active transportation connections are not completed through other City projects, this program completes the network through infill projects.
Advance Purchase of Land The advance purchase of lands for future road projects can eliminate the elevated cost of speculation and legal expenses associated with expropriation, saving costs for the City in the long run. For example, significant land property needs have been identified in preliminary design studies for intersections along Veteran’s Memorial Parkway. This program allows the City to purchase lands for future road projects on an opportunity basis.
Road Class Oversizing Occasionally the City may require a developer in a growth area to upgrade a road servicing their individual development plan to a wider or higher standard to accommodate growth over a larger area. Oversizing such a road can represent a cost saving to the City as it can eliminate the need for additional road capacity elsewhere in the network.

IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
Strategic Links A new policy is proposed for roadway segments that are identified as Strategic Links in the road network. Where proposed Neighbourhood Connectors and Neighbourhood Street are missing from the road network but would provide much needed connectivity for the community, these road segments may be designated by the City as a Strategic Link that is eligible for DC funding. A list of identified Strategic Links is included in Appendix C. It is noted that these projects have been included as a proxy and may change dependent on emergent needs as identified by the City Engineer.
Transportation Intelligent Mobility Management System The City of London is undertaking a Transportation Intelligent Mobility Management System (TIMMS) project to modernize and upgrade the City’s traffic signal systems. The TIMMS project is needed to provide a more responsive traffic signal system to adapt to growing travel needs. With growth across London, additional travel demands are being made on the City’s roadways. TIMMS will apply new technologies to operate existing infrastructure more efficiently and effectively, adding capacity to the road network where it is not possible to physically expand road due to space limitations and cost.
The various components of the TIMMS project are eligible for DCs under different service categories. The acquisition and installation of equipment are under the Roads category.
2.3 DC-Eligible Transit Projects
2.3.1 BRT Stops In the 2014 DC, the cost of supporting transit infrastructure was included as part of the BRT-Related Arterial Roadworks. For the 2019 DC, the cost of BRT stops to support the expansion of the transit network have been separated from the arterial roadworks and included in the Transit program.
2.3.2 Transit Fleet The capital cost of acquiring BRT and conventional transit fleet to service an expanded transit network is eligible for DC funding.
2.3.3 Maintenance Facilities The 2014 DC study took into consideration the need for new bus storage, maintenance and fueling/washing facilities for transit.
The 2019 DC study recognizes that a new transit maintenance facility or expansion of an existing maintenance facility will be required to accommodate the increase in transit fleet for the BRT and conventional bus networks.
February 20, 2019 9
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
2.4 Eligibility of Other Transportation-related Projects
2.4.1 Operation Centres Operation Centres have not been funded by DCs in the City of London. In August 2016, Council endorsed adding Operation Centres for potential DC recovery as a part of the 2019 DC review process. The City is currently undertaking an Operation Centres Master Plan to establish needs over the next 20 years. Operation Centres service Public Works, Parks, Forestry and other City departments.
With the expansion of the transportation network to accommodate growth, there is a resulting increased need for vehicles, equipment and facilities to construct, operate, and maintain an expanded network.
The City should consider Operation Centres that service Public Works, Parks Forestry, and other City departments as a service category within the DC and consider the associated land, facility, vehicle and equipment needs to accommodate growth.
2.4.2 Growth-related Transportation Studies A range of transportation-related studies are considered growth-related, and it is very common for municipalities to include these costs within their DC rate calculations. London’s 2014 DC study included Corporate Growth Studies as a service category. Within the Corporate Growth Studies component of the 2019 DC study, the following transportation-related studies include, but are not limited to: London Cycling Master Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Transportation Development Charge Studies; Long Term Corridor Protection – EA Studies, Traffic Impact studies and Transportation Master Plan Monitoring.
2.4.3 TIMMS Transportation Management Centre The Transportation Intelligent Mobility Management System (TIMMS) project will include a Transportation Management Centre (TMC) to oversee operations on the transportation network during peak periods. This upgrade would include new central traffic signal management software, additional vehicle sensors to assist in real-time incident management, pilot “adaptive” traffic signals to modify timings in real-time, and a communication system upgrade to support modern sensors and devices.
The various components of the TIMMS project are eligible for DCs under different service categories. The Transportation Management Centre and the necessary software to run the system will be under the Operation Centres category.

3 Future Transportation Needs
3.1 Growth Watson & Associates were retained by the City of London to develop growth forecasts for 2016 to 2044 for the City’s Development Charges Background Study. The analysis undertaken in this Transportation Background Study adopted the population and employment forecasts in the Population, Housing and Employment Growth Forecast report by Watson & Associates dated February 1, 2018. The City’s population and employment projections are summarized in Exhibit 3.1.

Source: City of London Population, Housing and Employment Growth Forecast, 2016 to 2044, Figure D-4 and Figure E-2a (Watson & Associates, February 1, 2018). Total Employment includes No Fixed Place of Work employment that is not included at the traffic zone level for travel modelling.
3.2 Travel Forecasting Model London’s updated Travel Forecasting Model is a tool used to predict and analyze travel behaviour in the City of London and the wider London Census Metropolitan Area. The Travel Forecasting Model was recently redeveloped and is now a state-of-practice multi-modal forecasting tool that is sensitive to a wide range of socio-demographic, transportation policy, and infrastructure changes. The model was calibrated to 2016, using demographic and travel data from a new household travel survey and the latest Census.
Using population and employment forecasts at the traffic zone level developed by the City for the DC horizon years, the updated model was used to develop traffic and transit forecasts for this Transportation Background Study.
The base network assumptions for 2029 and 2039 are presented in Exhibit 3.2. This formed the starting point of developing the future transportation network.

The planned population and employment growth in London will result in a corresponding increase in travel demand as summarized in Exhibit 3.3. Total travel demand is projected to increase by 24% between 2016 and 2039. However, the rate of growth by mode will vary, with daily auto trips growing by 18% and daily transit trips growing by 75%. This significant increase in transit demand reflects the City’s vision for a more transit-oriented city with the implementation of rapid transit and supporting development policies. Expansions to the transportation network will be required to accommodate the projected travel demand and efficiently and effectively move residents and workers in and around London.

3.3.1 Highway 401 Improvements and Interchanges A number of Highway 401 interchanges and improvements have been included as part of the road program. These interchange improvements provide the City with a cost-effective opportunity to improve capacity and access to Highway 401 with MTO funding over three quarters of the project costs. The City’s share in principle estimates the growth share of London and the non-growth benefit to London’s existing population. Provincial investment on Highway 401 will open up new development opportunities for lands along the main transportation and goods movement corridor in Southwest Ontario.
The proposed interchanges and improvements on Highway 401 include:
• Colonel Talbot interchange improvements
• Pond Mills underpass widening at Highway 401
• Dingman Drive bridge widening at Highway 401
February 20, 2019 15
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
The planned interchange expansion at Highbury Avenue is fully funded and is not considered part of the proposed road program.
3.3.2 Affordability The initial assessment of the 2039 road network identified a long list of projects to address network deficiencies. The individual projects and overall network were reviewed further to optimize the program for affordability. A number of proposed roadworks projects were deferred beyond the 20-year planning period of the DC. This deferral resulted in a reduction of $186 million from total estimated cost of the capital program.

3.4 Recommended Transit Network The recommended transit network builds upon the Rapid Transit Master Plan (approved by City Council in July 2017) and the recommended design for the BRT project as outlined in the draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) that was approved by City Council on May 8, 2018, to proceed to the Transit Project Assessment Process. The recommended BRT design described and illustrated in the draft EPR represents a detailed concept that has reached an approximate 30% design level. With the design advanced to this extent, the environmental assessment for BRT establishes corridor configurations and identifies conservative assumptions for project land needs. The BRT network, also shown in Exhibit 3.5, is made up of a north-east and a south-west route totalling to approximately 24 km of primarily dedicated transit lanes that are planned to run at 5 and 10 minute frequencies during peak periods, respectively. A park-and-ride facility is proposed to be located on Exeter Road near Highway 401. The BRT network is located along major employment areas, nodes and activity centres across the city, including shopping malls, post-secondary institutions, hospitals and other medical centres and the downtown. For the majority of the network, rapid transit buses will operate in dedicated centre-running lanes and within the downtown couplet buses will operate in dedicated curb-side lanes. The construction of the BRT network will generally require full roadway reconstruction resulting in renewed underground infrastructure and coordination with capital lifecycle needs along these corridors. Other features of the BRT system include:
• 28 new 60-foot articulated buses added to the current fleet; • 38 modern, accessible transit stops with enclosed areas and real-time
information; • modifications to existing structures (bridges, culverts, etc.); • intelligent transportation systems to support efficient reliable transit
operations; • improved streetscaping in accordance with the guidelines for Rapid
Transit Corridors and Transit Villages; and • consideration of cycling and pedestrian modes where possible in keeping
with the “complete streets” principles. The BRT project is now completing its planning and consultation phase through the Transit Project Assessment Process (Ontario Regulation 231/08) and is set to wrap up in fall 2018. Construction for the BRT is slated to begin in 2020.
BRT will be integrated with local and express bus routes to support increased transit service. LTC has identified a rapid transit integration framework with changes to route alignments and frequencies to support the BRT corridors. The recommended conventional transit network is to adopt the rapid transit integration framework in principle. It is expected that once the BRT routes are in operation, bus routes may be modified and adjusted as necessary to meet actual demands but will follow the general integration framework.

4 Roads Program
4.1 Level of Service The Development Charges Act requires that the future service level provided through development charge funds not exceed the average service level that has been provided in the preceding 10 years, unless a compensating deduction is made in the calculation.
Consistent with the 2014 DC, the service level for the road network is measured in terms of quantity (lane-km per capita) and quality (replacement cost per capita).
4.1.1 Quantity Road network quantity is measured as the total lane-km of arterial roads under the jurisdiction of the City of London. In the previous transportation background study, the quantity of roadways was measured against population only and does not consider employment. Measuring service levels on a per capita and employment basis would provide consistency with the City’s practice of allocating DC-eligible road costs to residential and non-residential development.
The total lane-km of arterial roads in London for each of the last 10 years is shown in Exhibit 4.1. The average lane-km of arterial per capita is 2.19 lane-km for every 1,000 persons and jobs.

IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
By 2039, the recommended road projects will add 97.4 lane-km to the road network, resulting in a total of 1,400 arterial lane-km. With the projected population and employment, the future quantity of arterial roads is 1.9 lane-km for every 1,000 persons and jobs.
The proposed future network does not exceed historical service levels for quantity.
4.1.2 Quality In determining the quality of the road network, the replacement cost of the arterial road assets is used.
As with road network quantity, it is also noted that in the previous transportation background study, the quality of roadways was measured against population only. Measuring service levels on a per capita and employment basis would provide consistency with the City’s practice of allocating DC-eligible road costs to residential and non-residential development.
The total replacement cost of the arterial road assets was calculated using information from the City’s State of Infrastructure Report (2013) and Road Matrix Network Summary Analysis Report (2017) which identified an arterial replacement cost of $101/m2.
Exhibit 4.2 shows the historical 10-year replacement cost for London arterial roads. The average arterial road replacement cost per capita for the past 10 years is $840 for every 1,000 persons and jobs.
By 2039, the recommended road projects will increase the replacement cost of the road network to $536,283,000. With the projected population and employment, the future replacement cost is $$727 for every 1,000 persons and jobs.
The proposed future network does not exceed historical service levels for quality.

4.2 Development Charge Implications The following sections outline the methodology used to determine benefit to existing (Growth/Non-Growth) allocation, post-planning period benefit and final costs to be used to calculate development charge rates associated with future transportation needs driven by growth. For road-related services the DC planning period is 20-years. For transit services, the DC planning period is 10-years.
Deductions for grants, subsidies and contributions are project-specific and applied only where funds from developers or other levels of government are anticipated to be collected by the City. Prior funding that the City has already collected has also been identified where applicable on a project-specific basis.
4.2.1 Non-Growth Share Deduction Consistent with the previous DC Background Study and By-law, the benefit to existing (allocation to Non-Growth) determination is described below:
1. For Major Roadworks and Two-Lane Arterial Upgrades required to address traffic growth and safety concerns, the benefit to existing development (Non-Growth share) was calculated as follows:
February 20, 2019 22
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
• The 20-year rehabilitation costs for the existing roadways in question shall be estimated and become the Non-Growth share for the DC calculation purposes. The rehabilitation cost was estimated to be the cost of resurfacing the existing lanes with a service life of 13.3 years:
− 2-lane road = $548,000/km
− 3-lane road = $822,000/km
− 4-lane road = $1,096,000/km
− 5-lane road = $1,370,000/km
• The estimate of the Non-Growth portion applied the rehabilitation costs above for all roadways and did not assume any additional pavement life due to recent restorations, or extended service life due to premium mix designs or low equivalent single axle loads.
2. For arterial roadworks related to BRT, the 2014 DC Background Study provided an 8.5% Non-Growth allocation for the total cost of the 11 BRT-related road projects based on the 20-year rehabilitation costs for the respective roadways. For the 2019 DC Background Study, the BRT-related road projects have been presented as five corridors rather than 11. Funds through taxes and DCs have been collected towards the BRT project. To maintain consistency, the average 8.5% Non-Growth share for the BRT-Related Arterial Roadworks is being carried forward.
3. New roads and road extensions are considered to be a 100% Growth need and 0% is allocated to Non-Growth.
4. Improvements at existing intersections and conversions of one-way streets to two way streets address traffic operations, network circulation and access required to accommodate increasing traffic demands. These improvements are considered primarily a Growth need. To recognize the benefit to existing development, the general approach that the rehabilitation cost of the existing intersection represents the Non-Growth Share was applied. Given the complexity in measuring the extent of the existing intersections, the average Non-Growth Share for Major Roadworks (excluding intersections, structures and new roads) was allocated to Non-Growth. For the 2019 DC, this average is 12.5%.
5. For the Highway 401 improvements and replacement of freeway interchanges, the ratio of the existing footprint / proposed footprint is identified as the Non-Growth share (including gore areas for ramps on the structure). The Non-Growth share for each freeway interchange in the 2019 DC is consistent with the 2014 DC.
− For the Pond Mills Underpass at Highway 401, the City is contributing to the expansion of the underpass to accommodate active transportation improvements within the planning period. The Non-Growth Share will reflect the active transportation purpose of the work.
February 20, 2019 23
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
6. For new grade separations required for railway crossings where a bridge does not currently exist, the ratio of the delay attributed to Growth is taken as the Growth share. The Non-Growth share for each new rail grade separations is consistent with the 2014 DC.
7. For the reconstruction of existing rail grade separations the ratio of the existing footprint / proposed footprint of the structure is identified as the Non-Growth share. The Non-Growth share for each reconstructed rail grade separation is consistent with the 2014 DC.
Minor Roadworks are required to address growth needs in emergent areas and bottlenecks in the transportation system that are attributed to growth. For example, additional traffic control devices are required to accommodate growth but the introduction of these traffic control devices typically reduces traffic flow and increases potential for conflict, congestion, weaving and different types of collisions. As such, the Non-Growth Share for Minor Roadworks is set at zero.
For the Additional Programs with annual funding to support growth-related projects, the Non-Growth Share is also set at zero with two exceptions:
• Active Transportation – the Non-Growth Share is set at 50% for infill active transportation projects that are funded by the Active Transportation program.
• TIMMS – the TIMMS project applies new technologies to operate infrastructure more efficiently adding capacity to the road network to address growing travel needs. This improvement is considered primarily a Growth need and 10% is allocated to Non-Growth.
4.2.2 Future Growth Benefit Deduction Major Roadworks and BRT-Related Arterial Roadworks A Future Growth Benefit (or post-period benefit) is applied where there is anticipated excess capacity at the end of the DC period. As in the 2014 DC, the Future Growth Benefit was determined with consideration of the recommended timing of the project relative to the DC planning period as presented in Exhibit 4.3.
Exhibit 4.3: Roads Future Growth Benefit (Post-period Benefit)
Project Timing Future Growth Benefit % 2019-2023 (0-5 years) 10% 2024-2028 (5-10 years) 20% 2029-2033 (10-15 years) 30% 2034-2038 (15-20 years) 45%
February 20, 2019 24
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
The approach taken by the City of London for Future Growth Benefit is conservative, applying a deduction of 10% or more on all arterial roadworks constructed within the planning period. This approach has been established in the 2014 DC background study as an accepted approach to the determination of Future Growth Benefit.
One exception to the above is the Pond Mills Underpass at Highway 401. The project timing of the underpass is tied to scheduled work being undertaken by the Ministry of Transportation in 2022. The City’s active transportation-related improvements on Pond Mills Road will likely occur later in the planning period, and the Future Growth Benefit for this project reflects the timing of municipal works.
Two-Lane Arterial Upgrades The infrastructure improvement program includes Two-Lane Arterial Upgrades located outside of the urban growth boundary. Along these arterials on or near the urban boundary, the improvement of intersections can lead to improvement of intersection approaches at or near future residential or commercial entrances. While these will not occur until the future, it is cost effective to include these improvements as part of the arterial upgrade construction. As there is no immediate need for these intersection improvements within the planning period, the cost of the intersection improvement is allocated to Future Growth.
A cost per intersection of $900,000 was assumed for intersections outside of the urban growth boundary, with half the valued used if the intersection is on the urban growth boundary. The Future Growth Benefits fro Two-Lane Arterial Updates is shown in Exhibit 4.4.
Minor Roadworks and Additional Programs Future Growth Benefit deductions have not been applied to minor roadworks and other annual programs where cost has been estimated based on annual capital expenditure requirements.

4.2.3 Allocation of DC Eligible Capital Costs by Development Type The growth-related costs for projects in the Roads Program are shared between residential and non-residential uses based on the proportion of the residential and non-residential growth projected through the 20-year DC planning period as shown in Exhibit 4.5.
Exhibit 4.5: Anticipated Residential and Non-Residential Growth

Allocation 69.7% 30.3% 14.5% 10.2% 5.6% Note: Values in table are subject to rounding.
It is noted that the non-residential allocations excludes Work at Home, as this category does not fit the industrial, commercial or institutional land use designations. This approach is consistent with the 2014 DC.
The non-residential allocation also excludes No Fixed Place of Work. This category of employment incudes construction workers who have a different location to report to work on a daily or weekly basis, contractors who work at a variety of client’s sites, etc. These workers cannot be linked to a specific development location. This approach is consistent with the 2014 DC.
4.3 Costing of Roadworks The estimated costs for the roads program (Major Roadworks, BRT-related Arterial Roadworks, and Minor Roadworks) were developed and assembled from various sources as described below.
4.3.1 Major Roadworks Per metre roadway construction costs were developed for this DC update, as summarized in Exhibit 4.6. These roadway unit costs assumed a typical cross-section, in line with examples in the City’s Complete Street Design Manual (example cross-sections are shown in Exhibit 4.7) that included vehicular travel lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, street lighting and traffic signals and incorporated cost information from recent road construction bids received by the City of London.
February 20, 2019 27
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
The roadway unit cost (per metre) was used as the basis for the roadway construction cost. Additional cost that were incorporated in the development of the total project cost included:
• New or widened structures (culverts, bridges, interchanges) (Note: cost estimate accounts for the additional width of the structure only and does not include replacement nor rehabilitation of the existing structure);
• Noise walls (where residential land uses abut the project);
• Utility relocation (10% of construction cost);
• Engineering (15% of construction cost);
• Contingency (10% of construction cost);
• Property (including raw land cost, on-site alterations, appraisals, surveying and legal); and
• Additional complexities on a project-specific basis (i.e. railway diversions, environmentally sensitive areas, fill, poor soil conditions, hydro towers, etc.).
On average, per metre road construction costs have increased 12% since the 2014 DC. This is in line with construction price indexes from Statistics Canada that indicate that the construction union wage rate index has increase by 13% in London over the 5-year period between 2012 and 2017.
Where recent Environmental Assessment studies or other more detailed cost estimates undertaken by the City were available, those cost estimates were used.

4.3.2 Two-Lane Arterial Upgrade The cost of Two-Lane Arterial Upgrades are based on the per metre roadway cost. Additional cost that were incorporated in the development of the total project cost included:
• New or widened structures (culverts, bridges, interchanges);
• Utility relocation (10% of construction cost);
• Engineering (15% of construction cost);
• Contingency (10% of construction cost); and
• Additional complexities on a project-specific basis (i.e. environmentally sensitive areas, fill, poor soil conditions, hydro towers, etc.).
4.3.3 BRT-Related Arterial Roadworks The cost for all BRT-related Arterial Roadworks are consistent with the cost estimates developed for the draft Environmental Project Report (April 2018) for the BRT project. The BRT-related Arterial Roadworks includes costs for the following elements:
• General traffic lanes, BRT lanes, intersection turn lanes, and any related road widenings required to accommodate the BRT lanes;
• Traffic signal modifications;
February 20, 2019 31
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
• Environmental mitigation;
• Retaining walls, noise walls or other barriers and fencing;
• Bridge structures;
• Landscaping;
• Lighting;
• Modifications to municipal services (storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and watermains) due to conflict and Rapid Transit infrastructure;
• Property; and
• Utilities, due to conflict and Rapid Transit infrastructure and in accordance with applicable cost sharing agreements.
The BRT costs used in the DC program are costs in real dollars (2018 values) which is consistent with values assigned to all other DC eligible projects. The BRT-related Arterial Roadworks cost excludes all costs related to stops, platforms, vehicles and maintenance facilities. These components of the BRT project are included under the Transit Program (see Section 5).
4.3.4 Minor Roadworks Costs for Minor Roadworks are based on the average recent actual costs in the City of London. The unit costs are presented in Exhibit 4.8
Exhibit 4.8: Minor Roadworks – Unit Costs
Minor Roadwork Unit Cost Channelization each $400,000 Sidewalks m $170 Streetlights m $400 Traffic Signals each $325,000
4.3.5 Additional Programs The City of London also undertakes a number of additional annual programs to implement infrastructure improvements. These include:
• Urban Intersections – on average two urban intersections are upgraded each year, with traffic signals and street lighting, at a cost of $1 million annually.
• Rural Intersections – on average one rural intersection is upgraded per year at a cost of $200,000 annually.
• Active Transportation Program – the cost to complete the on-road cycling network as identified in the London ON Bikes Cycling Master Plan,
February 20, 2019 32
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
excluding components of the cycling network that will be constructed as part of planned major roadworks, is $26,739,000.
• Advance Purchase of Land – a value of $4,400,000 is estimated to acquire lands for future road projects, including interchanges on Veterans Memorial Parkway.
• Road Class Oversizing – an annual average cost of $100,000 is estimated for the City’s share in oversizing development roads based on current spending trends.
• Strategic Links – the cost to construct the roadway segments that have been identified as Strategic Links is estimated at $13,380,000.
• Transportation Intelligent Mobility Management System – the cost to acquire and install equipment for the TIMMS project is 16,830,000.
4.4 Roads Capital Program The capital roadworks program for the DC period from 2019 to 2039 was prepared to identify the net costs of the road and roads-related improvements needed to accommodate travel demand associated with future development.
A summary of estimated costs for the construction of new roads, road widening, arterial upgrades, and pedestrian and cycling facilities is presented in Exhibit 4.9.

5 Transit Program As discussed in Section 1.1 and Appendix A, amendments to the Development Charges Act (DCA) and Ontario Regulation 82/98 came into effect on January 1, 2016, and the approach to Transit DCs has been updated accordingly.
The DC planning period for Transit is 10 years.
5.1 Planned Transit Level of Service The changes to the DCA have implications for the treatment of Transit Services. In particular, the Transit capital program is no longer constrained by a 10-year historical level of service. Rather, the increase in the need for transit service is restricted by the planned level of service over the 10-year period following the preparation of the DC background study.
For London, the planned level of transit service is identified in London’s Rapid Transit Master Plan (RTMP) and LTC’s Rapid Transit Integration Framework (post-2019 service plan). Through the Council-approved RTMP and draft Environmental Project Report (EPR), the City of London has committed to providing rapid transit service options for residents and workers in London to meet its growing transportation needs. The RTMP and draft EPR identified bus rapid transit (BRT) playing a major role in the transportation system, providing a practical and attractive alternative to the single-occupant car and reducing the need for additional road network capacity.
5.1.1 Service Frequency The following service frequencies were identified in the RTMP for the BRT.
Exhibit 5.1: BRT Service Frequencies
Service Frequency
Peak Period Off-peak Periods BRT – North 5 minutes 10 minutes BRT – East 5 minutes 10 minutes BRT – South 10 minutes 10 minutes BRT – West 10 minutes 10 minutes
To support the BRT service, LTC’s network of conventional bus services will be integrated as feeder routes to the BRT. Major routes that serve the BRT corridors are planned to operate in the peak periods with frequencies no more than twice the BRT frequency. For example, major connecting routes to the BRT North and BRT East are planned to have frequencies of 10 minutes during the peak periods to support 5-minute BRT frequency.

5.2 Increase in Need for Service The Transit capital required to provide the transit network described in Section 3.4 is summarized below for BRT fleet, conventional fleet, BRT stops and a new or expanded maintenance facility.
5.2.1 Fleet The fleet requirements for London were developed with input from LTC staff on future transit service and desired service frequency and drawing on route distances and route travel times estimated in the London Model. The estimated fleet requirement for 2029 is summarized in Exhibit 5.2.
The primary components of the increase in fleet requirements are the new BRT routes and the increase in service frequency of connecting feeder routes to the BRT as envisioned in the Rapid Transit Master Plan. The projected increase in fleet to provide the planned level of service to 2029 is 28 BRT buses and 21 conventional buses.
Exhibit 5.2: Fleet Requirements
2018
Actual 2029
Estimated Increase
BRT Fleet - 28 +28 Conventional Fleet 217 238 +21 Total 217 266 +49
The requirement for an additional 28 BRT vehicles and 21 conventional vehicles by 2029 is an increase of 23% to the City’s current transit fleet. This is significantly less than the projected increase in transit trips of 35% for the 10 year period as estimated by the London Travel Forecasting Model. We note that with the BRT coming on line within the planning period that many of LTC’s network of local transit routes will be modified, some routes may become shorter as they become feeder routes to the BRT and other routes will operate with improved productivity. As a result, fleet requirements are not increasing as rapidly as ridership growth.
It is also noted that a large proportion of the projected increase in transit ridership will be accommodated by the BRT network. The BRT fleet is planned to consist of high-capacity transit vehicles that can accommodate more passengers per vehicle than conventional buses.
5.2.2 BRT Stops New transit stops will be required along each of the new BRT routes to provide access and accommodate transfers between transit routes. In total there are 38 BRT stops and 74 platforms. Each stop provides one platform per direction with a few exceptions, including Capulet Lane, Masonville, Fanshawe and stops in
February 20, 2019 36
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
the downtown where the BRT operates within the one way couplet of Queens Avenue and King Street.
5.2.3 Maintenance Facility A new or expanded maintenance facility will be required to accommodate the expansion in fleet. An on-going study by LTC is determining fleet and facility needs to 2047. The recently completed draft Environmental Project Report for the BRT has allocated $12.5 M towards a new maintenance facility or expansion of an existing facility to accommodate BRT vehicles.
5.3 Development Charge Implications As noted in Section 1.1, amendments to the Development Charges Act (DCA) and Ontario Regulation 82/98 have implications for the approach to the calculation of the Non-Growth share and Future Growth Benefits for Transit services. The approach taken in the 2014 DC is no longer applicable.
It is also noted that unlike Roads, Transit services is limited to a 10-year benefitting period. However, the City’s planned BRT network is intended to lead to significant long-term service improvements for both existing and future developments. A ridership-based approach to the calculation of the Non-Growth share (or benefit to existing) and Future Growth benefits (or post-period benefit) is used.
A ridership-based approach would consider the overall anticipated growth in transit ridership over an appropriate timeframe. It is anticipated that the City’s transit mode share will grow from an estimated 8.6% in 2019 to 10.4% in 2029 to 11.5% in 2039. The DC calculation would consider the following: 1. The share of this ridership growth attributed to existing development. This
would become the Non-Growth share and be excluded from the DC calculation.
2. The share of ridership growth attributed to development anticipated within the legislated 10-year benefitting horizon for Transit services, from 2019 to 2028 in the case of London’s 2019 Transportation DC Background Study. This share would become the amount eligible for recovery through the 2019 DC By-law.
3. The share of ridership growth attributed to development anticipated beyond the 10-year benefitting horizon (from 2029 to 2039 as per ridership demand forecasts). This share would become the Future Growth Benefit share and would be made eligible for recovery through future DC By-laws.
It is noted that while this long-term, forward looking approach is appropriate for items such as BRT stops and maintenance facilities, a modified approach is more appropriate for bus fleet additions. Planned bus fleet additions within the 10-year benefitting horizon have an immediate relationship to service needs when placed into service, and the City will continue to add to its transit fleet as
February 20, 2019 37
IBI GROUP Final Report London Development Charges Transportation Background Study Prepared for City of London
ridership grows. As such, it is unnecessary to attribute a Future Growth Benefit share to transit fleet items.
5.3.1 Deductions for BRT Stops and Maintenance Facility To estimate the Non-Growth share for the BRT stops and maintenance facility, the London Model was used to estimate existing and future transit ridership demand. The relative change in mode share for the existing residents and workers would represent the incremental increase in transit trip making by existing development (Non-Growth).
Mode share is estimated to increase from 8.6% in 2019 to 11.5% in 2039. This change in mode share equates to an additional 57,300 daily transit trips. Of these trips, 32,400 trips or 57% are made by existing residents and workers as shown in Exhibit 5.3. A Non-Growth share of 57% was applied to the cost of the BRT stops and maintenance facility.
As the Transit Program has a 10-year DC planning period and the BRT network will service growth beyond the planning period, the Growth Share was proportionately allocated to the population and employment growth within the first 10 years (in period Growth) and the subsequent 10 years (Future Growth). A Future Growth benefit of 18% was applied to the cost of the BRT stops and maintenance facility.

5.3.2 Deductions for Fleet Unlike fixed transit infrastructure, transit fleet additions are based on an assessment of more immediate service needs. Typically, LTC purchases fleet on an annual basis to meet shorter-term projected demands. As such, it is more appropriate to consider a 10-year planning period for transit fleet needs with no allocation for Future Growth Benefits. The calculation of the Non-Growth share for fleet is shown in Exhibit 5.4.

5.4 Costing of Transit Projects The cost for BRT stops, platforms, fleet and maintenance facility are consistent with the cost estimates developed for the draft Environmental Project Report (April 2018) for the BRT project. The BRT costs used in the DC program are costs in real dollars.
The cost for conventional LTC fleet was estimated based on the current estimates in the City’s capital budget of $550,000 per vehicle.
5.5 Transit Capital Program The Transit capital program for the DC period from 2019 to 2029 was prepared to identify the net costs of the BRT stops, fleet and maintenance facility to accommodate travel demand associated with future development.

I INTRODUCTION
The City of London is currently planning for a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network, with construction slated to begin in 2020. Costs associated with this planned transit network were previously included within the City’s 2014 Development Charges Background Study. However, in light of recent Development Charges Act (DCA) amendments as well as recent refinements to cost estimations associated with this new infrastructure, the City has undertaken a process to re-examine its approach to the calculation of Transit DCs. Hemson Consulting Ltd. was retained to assist the City and IBI Group in determining an appropriate approach.
This Technical Appendix to the City of London’s Transportation Development Charges (DC) Background Study (as prepared by IBI Group) provides background information related to the approach and methodologies used in the calculation of development charges for Transit services. It outlines recent changes to the Development Charges Act and their implications with respect to Transit services, as well as Hemson’s recommended approach to the calculation of Transit DCs, particularly in regards to the calculation of service levels, benefit-to-existing shares, and post-period shares.
2
II RECENT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES ACT AMENDMENTS
This section provides a brief overview of recent changes to the DCA that have implications for the treatment of Transit services DCs in the City of London.
A. OVERVIEW OF RELEVANT POLICY CHANGES
Amendments to the DCA and Ontario Regulation 82/98, which came into force on January 1, 2016, have several implications for the treatment of Transit services. The following amendments are intended to assist municipalities in funding improvements to their transit networks:
Capital costs for Transit services are no longer subject to a 10% legislated discount; and
The Transit capital program is no longer constrained by a 10-year historical level of service. Rather, the increase in the need for the service is restricted by a planned level of service over the 10-year period following preparation of the DC background study.
B. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON
While the recent amendments to the DCA have lifted some restrictions around the recovery of Transit-related capital costs, municipalities face new restrictions in the calculation of the in-period DC recoverable share of costs. Most importantly, a ridership-based approach is often necessary in calculating the 10-year planned level of service. A ridership-based approach is particularly suitable where a new rapid transit network is planned, as these investments typically contribute to changing travel behaviours in both the existing and future population.
A number of municipalities have implemented a ridership-based approach to their Transit DC calculations to achieve compliance with the new DCA. In Hemson’s experience, ridership forecasts can lead to relatively high calculated benefit-to-
3
existing (BTE) shares, particularly where rapid transit networks are proposed within developed urban areas with a significant existing population, similar to the City of London’s planned BRT network.
Further, under the DCA the planned level of service calculation must also account for any excess capacity or benefit to development that is expected to occur beyond the legislated 10-year benefitting horizon. This share of costs must be allocated to the post-period share and will not be recovered through the City’s 2019 DC by-law. Due to the forward-looking, long-term nature of most rapid transit projects, it is common for a significant share of the costs to be allocated for post-period recovery.
4
III APPROACH TO THE CALCULATION OF TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
This section details the approach recommended by Hemson and adopted by the City of London in the calculation of Transit DCs, including the allocation of BRT-related costs between Roads and Transit services as well as the calculation of DC-eligible shares for Transit services.
A. SERVICE ALLOCATION
The City of London’s 2014 DC Background Study included all BRT-related road works within the Roads service category, while new buses and related equipment, bus storage facilities, and transit terminals were considered under the Transit service category. Hemson reviewed this approach for its suitability as part of the 2019 DC Transportation Background Study.
In Hemson’s view, it is appropriate to continue to fund the BRT-related road works through the Roads capital program. This approach continues to be relatively common among comparable municipalities (e.g. Durham Region, York Region, Oakville, Mississauga, Ottawa). It is recommended that BRT stops be included under the Transit capital program, along with the planned maintenance facility and bus fleet additions.
It is noted that in addition to the Roads and Transit service categories, the City of London has established a new category, Operation Centres, under the 2019 DC Transportation Background Study. The Operation Centres service category is to include the cost of the Transportation Management Centre associated with the City’s planned Transportation Intelligent Mobility Management System (TIMMS), while associated equipment and installation costs will fall under the Roads service category.
B. CALCULATION OF DC-ELIGIBLE SHARES FOR TRANSIT SERVICES
The City’s planned BRT network is intended to lead to significant long-term service improvements for both existing and future development. As such, in Hemson’s view a ridership-based approach to the calculation of benefit-to-existing (BTE) and post-
5
period benefit (PPB) shares is encouraged for transit investments with long-term benefits (e.g. maintenance facilities, terminals). A number of municipalities have adopted such an approach following the recent DCA amendments, including the Region of Waterloo, the City of Ottawa, York Region, and the City of Toronto.
The ridership-based approach recommended for the City of London considers the overall anticipated growth in transit ridership over an appropriate timeframe. For example, it is anticipated that the City’s transit mode share will grow from an estimated 8.6% in 2019 to 11.5% in 2039. The DC calculation would consider:
1. The share of this ridership growth attributed to existing development. This would become to BTE share and be excluded from the DC calculation, as described below:
A growth in transit ridership from 8.6% in 2019 to 11.5% in 2039 translates to approximately 32,400 additional transit trips from the existing (2019) population. This represents approximately 57% of the total 2019-2039 growth in ridership of approximately 57,300. The remaining 43%, or 24,900 trips, are attributed to the City’s 2019-2039 growth in population and employment. The BTE share is therefore calculated at 57%.
2. The share of ridership growth attributed to development anticipated within the legislated 10-year benefitting horizon for Transit services, or from 2019 to 2028 in the case of London’s 2019 Transportation DC Background Study. This share would become the amount eligible for recovery through the 2019 DC by-law.
Of the total forecast growth in population and jobs from 2019 to 2039, approximately 57% is anticipated to occur within the first 10-year period. This would translate to approximately 14,300 transit trips of the 24,900 total transit trips attributed to 2019-2039 population and employment growth. Of total growth in ridership to 2039 (57,300), the 14,300 transit trips represent approximately 25%. Therefore the share eligible for recovery through the 2019 DC by-law would be 25%.
6
3. The share of ridership growth attributed to development anticipated beyond the 10-year benefitting horizon (e.g. from 2029 to 2039 as per the mode share forecast). This share would become the PPB share and would be made eligible for recovery through future DC bylaws.
Of the total forecast growth in population and jobs from 2019 to 2039, 43% is anticipated to occur from 2029 to 2039. This would translate to 10,600 transit trips of the 24,900 total transit trips attributed to 2019-2039 population and employment growth. Of total 2039 ridership (57,300), the 10,600 transit trips represent approximately 18%. Therefore the PPB share is calculated at 18%.
This analysis is shown in Table 1 and summarized in Figure 1.

C. TREATMENT OF TRANSIT FLEET ADDITIONS
It is noted that while the long-term, forward looking approach described above under Section B is appropriate for items such as BRT stops, transit terminals and maintenance facilities, a modified approach is often appropriate for bus fleet additions. Planned bus fleet additions within the 10-year benefitting horizon are more likely to have an immediate relationship with growing service level requirements over the same 10-year period. Accordingly, the City is likely to continue to add to its transit fleet as ridership continues to grow beyond 2029. As such, in Hemson’s view it is unnecessary to attribute a PPB share to transit fleet items, and as a result a larger proportion of the costs for transit fleet additions may be considered DC-eligible as compared with that of BRT stops, terminals, and maintenance facilities.
As these fleet additions are critical to the BRT network, they are likely to benefit the existing population to a significant extent. A similar approach to the calculation of a BTE shares as described above (Section B) is recommended. It is noted that the calculated BTE share for fleet additions differs slightly from the share calculated in Section B. This is due to the shorter overall time period considered for the ridership forecast used in the calculation (i.e. to 2029 rather than to 2039). The fleet BTE share of 60% is calculated as follows:
2019‐2039
57,300 transit trip growth or
100%
Existing Base
32,400 transit trip growth or
57%
2019‐2029 Development
14,300 transit trip growth or
25%
2029‐2039 Development
10,600 transit trip growth or
18%
8
A growth in transit ridership from 8.6% in 2019 to 10.4% in 2029 translates to approximately 20,300 additional transit trips from the existing (2019) population. This represents approximately 60% of the total 2019-2029 growth in ridership of approximately 33,500. The remaining 40%, or 13,300 trips, are attributed to the City’s 2019-2029 growth in population and employment. The BTE share is therefore calculated at 60% and the DC-eligible share is calculated at 40%.
This analysis is shown in Table 2 and summarized in Figure 2.
