Appendix 3: 2040 Ridership <strong>and</strong> Mode Share<br />

The study team estimated 2040 ridership <strong>and</strong> mode share using the MWCOG travel dem<strong>and</strong><br />

model, which has been updated for the Purple Line project to meet FTA requirements, <strong>and</strong> data<br />

from the 2007 <strong>Metro</strong>rail Passenger Survey. The most recent <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong> weekday entry<br />

data from May 2012 (3,160 average entries per weekday) served as a base for this mode share<br />

estimate.<br />

The study team first calculated mode share values from the 2007 <strong>Metro</strong>rail Passenger Survey,<br />

which represents the most recent record of ridership by mode. Table A-1 summarizes mode<br />

share values from the 2007 <strong>Metro</strong>rail Passenger Survey. These 2007 mode shares in Table A-1<br />

were applied to the 2012 ridership data to estimate a 2012 entry profile for <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong>,<br />

shown in Table A-2.<br />

The study team ran the travel dem<strong>and</strong> model using the information from Table A-2, which<br />

resulted in estimated peak <strong>and</strong> off-peak 2040 entries. Peak <strong>and</strong> off-peak period growth factors<br />

for each mode were calculated by <strong>com</strong>paring observed 2012 <strong>and</strong> estimated 2040 entries, as<br />

shown in Table A-3. The model defines the peak period as the <strong>com</strong>bined morning <strong>and</strong> afternoon<br />

peak periods <strong>and</strong> the off-peak<br />

* <strong>Access</strong> <strong>and</strong> egress are averaged because survey results from the 2007 <strong>Metro</strong>rail Passenger Survey varied<br />

considerably for <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong>. These varied results are likely due to the small number of <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />

surveys for the station.<br />

** Includes passengers who drove <strong>and</strong> passengers who rode with someone who parked<br />

The travel dem<strong>and</strong> model<br />

outputs Park & Ride, Kiss<br />

& Ride, <strong>and</strong> “walk” mode<br />

shares, but the “walk” mode<br />

share is a sum of walk <strong>and</strong><br />

bus trips. To separate walk<br />

<strong>and</strong> bus trips into two distinct<br />

categories, the study assumed<br />

that bus trips would grow<br />

at the same rate as total<br />

station ridership growth.<br />

The remaining trips from the<br />

model’s “walk” category were<br />

assigned to a distinct walk<br />

category.<br />
