<strong>OKI</strong>/MVRPC <strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Demand</strong> <strong>Model</strong> – Version 6.0Walk access and egress connectors are generated automatically using a utility previouslydeveloped for <strong>Model</strong> 54 (WalkCn11). This program was revised to search for additional walkconnectors even when the zone's highway centroid connectors can be used as transit accessconnectors. The revised utility is named WalkCn12.4.5 Drive Access ConnectorsTransit drive access connectors are used to allow passengers to access the transit network at thepark-and-ride stations. Drive access connectors are generated automatically using a utility calledDrvLinks. This program has been setup to build one connector per TAZ, linking each zone to itsnearest park and ride lot. An accompanying utility, AccSpeed, is used to post highway networktravel times to the links built by DrvLinks. In this way, drive access times are directly skimmedfrom the peak and off peak highway networks. A detailed description of these utilities isavailable in the User's Guide for model version 6.0.4.6 Transit Access BarriersTransit access barriers are used in the <strong>OKI</strong> model to prevent walk access links across rivers,freeways or similar geographical features. No transit barriers were required for the Daytonportion of the network. The transit barriers already developed for the <strong>OKI</strong> Council regionnetwork (<strong>Model</strong> 5.4) were included in the consolidated model.4.7 Transit Network SummaryThe major identifying characteristics of the consolidated transit network are summarized below inTable 4-6.Table 4-6 Consolidated Transit Network CharacteristicsMode Lines Company Description1 - - Walk connector2 - - Drive connector3 1-255 - Sidewalk4 1-255 1 SORTA/METRO local service5 1-100, 150-199 1 SORTA/METRO express service5 101-149, 200-255 2 TANK express service6 30-255 2 TANK local service6 1-10 3 Middletown local service6 11-29 4 Hamilton local service7 1-255 5 Light Rail (non-existent in 1995)8 1-255 5 Commuter rail (non-existent in 1995)9 1-255 6 MVRPC local service10 1-255 6 MVRPC express serviceZones and Networks / 4 - Transit Networks18
