Evaluation of Potential Impacts on Public Transit, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Facilities
A project's impact on public transit, pedestrian facilities, and bicycle infrastructure can be assessed using the following criteria:
- A significant impact occurs if the project conflicts with adopted policies, plans, or programs related to public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or if it reduces the performance or safety of such facilities.
To determine potential impacts, the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) should evaluate whether the project aligns with existing and proposed policies, plans, and programs that support active transportation and public transit facilities. The assessment should consider the following:
-
Consistency with Adopted Policies & Plans – The project must comply with local, regional, and state policies regarding transit, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure. Any inconsistencies should be identified and addressed.
-
Performance & Safety Considerations – The project should enhance or maintain the safety and efficiency of transit, bicycle, and pedestrian travel. A reduction in accessibility, connectivity, or safety may indicate a significant impact.
-
Effects on Existing and Proposed Facilities – The analysis should examine how the project interacts with current and planned transit routes, bike lanes, sidewalks, and crossings. Any disruptions, modifications, or improvements should be documented.
Ultimately, the TIA should determine if the project has the potential to conflict with or support existing and planned active transportation and transit facilities, ensuring that pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit travel is not adversely affected
