• Synchro and SimTraffic modeling
• Peak hour Level of Service (individual movements and intersection)

• Peak hour vehicle delay (individual movements and intersection)
• Alternative lane geometry scenarios

• Traffic generation forecasts from new development or a change in land use
• Collection and compilation of forecast data from:
  • ITE Trip Generation Manual
  • Field data from like developments
• Mode split assumptions based on non-motorized infrastructure and transit levels of service
• Trip assignment to the existing transportation network
• Identification of problem intersections or turning movements

• Development of potential TDM programs
  • Site-based programs (e.g. for a new development)Corridor-based programs (e.g. Downtown Main Street)
  • Community-based programs (e.g. Saint Vrain School District)
• Traffic forecasting and intersection analysis resulting from various TDM programs. For example:
  • What would the traffic generation be with employee transit passes and incentives?
  • What would the traffic generation be with improved bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure serving the development?
  • What would the traffic generation be with shared, time-restricted or paid parking?
• Present the impact that various proposed TDM projects and programs have on traffic generation on the surrounding roadway network

• Recommendation of appropriate, context-sensitive traffic calming measures
• Development of pros and cons of various measures including:
  • Increased safety of non-motorized users due to lower vehicle speeds and possible decreased pedestrian crossing distances
  • Impacts to drainage, street sweeping and snow removal
  • Impacts to cut through traffic on the adjacent street network
  • Potential increase in bicycle/ pedestrian conflicts

• Collect and compile crash data. Represent data through maps and graphs at the appropriate sophistication for the audience
• Highlight differences in crash severity: property damage only (PDO), injury, severe injury, and fatality.
• Review pedestrian crossing treatments at both signalized and unsignalized intersections
• Based upon national best practices, develop an inventory of capital and operational improvements to address crashes
• Create a prioritization of improvements based on crash reduction benefits

• Stop design including shelters, bicycle parking, and ADA requirements
• Stop location analysis including relocation, consolidation or addition based upon existing and forecasted ridership and impacts to route travel time
• Analysis of routing, transfer stations, headways and daily operating hours
• Analysis of fare structures and local agency fare programs to increase ridership and improve equity

• Evaluation and recommendation of non-motorized striping, marking and signage
• Recommendations for capital projects that improve the perceived and/or real safety of cyclists and pedestrians
• Implementation of principles from the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO)
• Evaluation and recommendation on intersection treatments that improve bicycle and pedestrian safety (e.g. raised crosswalks, reduced turning radii, Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) phases, marked bike boxes, etc)

• Public and private parking facility assessments including:
  • Utilization rates: average duration, turnover, peak hour demandUtilization types: employee, visitors, shoppers, etc
  • Shared parking opportunities
• ADA requirements and design
• Short-term bicycle parking design and siting
• Long-term bicycle parking including covered parking and secured, cardkey access facilities (e.g. at RTD Park-n-Rides)
• Analysis and recommendations on restricted parking (e.g. by user type, time of day, maximum duration, etc)

Transportation analysis is only valuable if it can be communicated to elected officials and members of the public.

• Presentations specifically crafted to meet the sophistication and primary interest of the audience. The following groups will have unique needs for similar analysis:
  • City planning and engineering staff
  • City Council
  • Appointed Boards such as Transportation Advisory Board and Planning and Zoning Commission
  • Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce
  • Downtown Longmont
  • Special interest groups (e.g. Bicycle Longmont)
  • Residents and Neighborhood Groups
