Reduce Traffic Congestion Reduces traffic volumes, improves passenger throughput, and/or improves efficiency along the Airport drive and curbside. 2. Support Customer Choice Increases access to ground transportation modes to/from the Airport. 3. Influence Mode Share Reduces percent of travelers using single occupancy vehicles. 4. Fiscal Impact to Sea-Tac Potential revenue source or offset to capital investment versus the annual operating costs. 5. Reduce Environmental Impacts Reduces greenhouse gases, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and promotes mass transit. 6. Feasibility Potential to implement/whether the strategy been successfully implemented in other locations, and general comparative assessment of potential for positive ROI. 17 Top 10 Analyzed for Equity and Impacts 1. Qualitatively scores strategies for equity principles 2. Quantifies environmental benefits, capital costs, operating costs, and revenue impacts 18 Defining Equity Principles Environmental: Minimizes disproportionate environmental impacts on stakeholders Economic: Creates small business growth and workforce development in and around the airport while minimizing financial burden of accessing transportation options Regional access and operations: Provides more modes of transportation to the airport Social: Eliminate barriers to equal opportunity for historically underserved groups 19 Top 10 Strategies - Equity Trade-offs REGIONAL ACCESS STRATEGY ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT SOCIAL & OPERATIONS Multiple Variations of Express Bus Service Tolling Curbside X Information / Promotion of Transit NA Transportation Management Association (TMA) Restructure Employee Parking NA X Several strategies support three of the equity principles but none meet all four 20 Top 10 Strategies - Equity trade-offs (cont'd) REGIONAL ACCESS STRATEGY ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT SOCIAL & OPERATIONS Revenue Structures Anticipating Autonomous Vehicles Public-Private Partnerships for First/Last Mile Coverage Increase / preserve KCM RapidRide and ST Express Bus Service Ticket for Free Transit Ride / Ride-Free Area Incentives for Ride Share/Transit NA NA NA Loyalty Program Several strategies support three equity principles but none meet all four 21 Trips per Mode Fewest Vehicle Trips Per Air Passenger HOV: Transit & Shared-Ride Transit, Scheduled & Courtesy Buses, Shared- Ride Van, Airporters Parked Vehicles Long-Term Parking Taxi, TNC, Limos Curbside Vehicles Up to 4 Vehicle Trips Per Air Passenger Drop-Off Pick-Up 22 Quantitative Analysis Measurable Impacts Capital & operating costs Grams CO2 / mile Estimated order of magnitude Private vehicle - curbside 21.10 Vehicle miles traveled Limousine 20.82 TNC (eKPI compliant) 10.82 Result of mode shift incurred Taxi 10.24 Greenhouse gas emissions Private vehicle - parking 10.20 Result of change in VMT Rental car 8.79 Public transit bus 4.61 Shuttle Express 2.06 ST Light Rail 0.02 Strategies quantified to understand potential benefits and drawbacks 23 Quantitative Analysis of Top 10 Strategies Estimated Capital Estimated Estimated Greenhouse Anticipated STRATEGY Cost Operating Cost Gases Reduced Revenue Impacts Multiple Variations of Express Bus Service X X Tolling Curbside Information / Promotion of Transit X X Transportation Management Association X (TMA) Restructure Employee Parking X Key Capital / GHG Reduction Revenue Impact Score Operating Cost tonnes/yr (Million $ Annually) $0 to $2m 10,000 Source (+) $2 to $10m 5,000 < 10,000 <$1m Loss (-) X >$10 <5,000 >$1m Loss (-) Most strategies perform well in two or more criteria but measurable impact requires combination of strategies 24 Quantitative Analysis of Top 10 Strategies, cont'd Estimated Capital Estimated Estimated Greenhouse Anticipated STRATEGY Cost Operating Cost Gases Reduced Revenue Impacts Revenue Structures Anticipating Autonomous Vehicles Public-Private Partnerships for First/Last Mile Coverage X X Increase / preserve KCM RapidRide and ST Express Bus Service X Ticket for Free Transit Ride / Ride-Free Area X Incentives for Ride Share/Transit Loyalty Program X Key Capital / GHG Reduction Revenue Impact Score Operating Cost tonnes/yr (Million $ Annually) $0 to $2m 10,000 Source (+) $2 to $10m 5,000 < 10,000 <$1m Loss (-) X >$10 <5,000 >$1m Loss (-) Most strategies perform well in two or more criteria but measurable impact requires combination of strategies 25 Top 10 Strategies Cumulative Benefits Potential cumulative benefit Reduce 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per year Reduce 42,000 tons carbon emissions per year Remove over 2 million single occupancy vehicles from the road Strategies have potential to provide significant cumulative benefit 26 Transportation Management Association Description: Form a Sea-Tac Airport Transportation Management Association (TMA) with dedicated staff focused on Commute Trip Reduction and Transportation Demand Management strategies, such as ridesharing/matching, preferential parking for van and carpools, guaranteed ride home/emergency ride home program, and transit subsidy. Hold a quarterly TMA open-house for employees to attend and gain information on available commuting options. Primary Benefits Provides employees with improved level of service and reliability for their commute. Encourages carpooling and ride sharing to access the Airport, reducing congestion from single-occupancy vehicle trips. Supports workforce job satisfaction. Mitigates environmental issues, especially greenhouse gas emissions, because of decreased single-occupancy vehicle trips. Expands the state-required program for having a Commute Trip Reduction Coordinator. There are very low (or no) capital costs. Primary Drawbacks Limited potential for results (e.g. limited ability to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution). 27

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
