Appendices MIAMI-DADE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE TO THE YEAR 2040 EYES ON THE FUTURE | E-15 Congestion and Mobility Bene ts Costs Implementation Timeframe • Decrease daily VMT • Decrease congestion • Increase ridership L • Short -term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • Increase transit ridership • Decrease daily VMT L • Short -term: 1 to 5 years • Increase bicycle mode share • Decrease motorized vehicle congestion on access routes L • Short - term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • Reduce daily VMT • Reduce congestion • Increase ridership M • Short -term: Less than one year • Increase transit ridership • Decrease travel time • Decrease daily VMT M • Short -term: 1 to 5 years • Increase transit ridership • Decrease travel time M • Short -term: 1 to 5 years • Decrease daily VMT • Decrease congestion • Increase ridership M • Medi um-term: 5 to 10 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction • Improved service efficiency, passenger c onvenience and passenger loading time • Increased ridership • Acquisition of more accurate and comprehensive ridership and trip data • Improved analysis and forecasting of trip ridership patterns and fare structure impacts • Reduced overall operating cost of fare collection and processing • Increased revenue through less fare evasion and greater accountability M • Medium-term It is estimated that a full deployment of an electronic fare payment system could take from three to five years • Reduce VMT • Reduce SOV trips • Increase transit ridership & mode share M • Short -term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • Reduce VMT • Reduce SOV trips • Increase transit ridership & boardings M • Short -term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • Reduce daily VMT •More co nsistent and sometimes faster travel times versus driving • Reduce SOV trips H • Long-term: 10 or more years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • More consistent and sometimes faster travel times for t ransit passengers versus driving • Increased person throughput capacity within a corridor due to people switching from single occupant motor vehicles to transit • Stimulation of efficient mixed -use or higher-density development H • Medium-to long-term Development and implementation of a rail project is a major undertaking that can take 10 or more years from initial planning phases through NEPA studies to an opening day. • On -street conversion of travel lanes to BRT may not take quite as long. • Increase transit ridership • Decrease travel time • Reduce daily VMT • Improved convenience and travel reliability • Reduced traffic congestion due to trips swi tched from driving alone to transit H • Short -term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • Increase tran sit ridership • Decrease travel time H • Medium -term: 5 to 10 years (includes planning, engineering, and construction) • Reduce VMT • Reduce SOV trips • Increase transit ridership & mode share H • Long -term: 10 or more years (includes planning, engineering, and construction)
