1 The Trail Modeling and Assessment Platform (T-MAP) A Practitioner-Rooted Research Project Liz Thorstensen Vice President of Trail Development, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Greg Lindsey Professor, School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota NATMEC July 1, 2014

2 RTC 101 Founded in ,000 Members and supporters HQ in DC with 4 Regional Offices 40+ Staff

3 Our Mission To create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people. - Adopted Oct 2004

4 Our Methods: Catalyzing Change in 3 Spheres #1 Changing Public Policy #3 Changing Personal Behavior #2 Changing Public Infrastructure

5 Our Methods: Catalyzing Change in 3 Spheres #1 Changing Public Policy T-MAP #3 Changing Personal Behavior #2 Changing Public Infrastructure

6 T-MAP by Component

7 NOAA Climatic Regions & Study Cities *Philadelphia is joined project (during NATMEC!!!)! *If interested in joining see Liz or Greg after session.

8 TMAP: Connectivity, Use, Impact Objectives Monitor trail traffic at locations in cities in 9 climatic regions for > 1 year Describe patterns & variation in trail traffic Develop hourly, day-of-week, monthly, and day-of-year factors Develop models for estimating trail use Support trail development efforts

9 Monitoring & Modeling Trail Traffic Tasks (follow TMG, NCHRP 07-19!!!) Installation (nearly done) Validation (in field) QA / QC (cleaning) Correction Factoring Modeling

10 Factoring Trail Traffic: Establish Factor Groups

11 % of daily traffic % of daily traffic % of daily traffic Factoring Trail Traffic Mixed-mode Patterns on Minneapolis Trails 12.0% 10.0% Weekdays Weekends 12.0% 10.0% Weekdays Weekends 8.0% 8.0% 6.0% 6.0% 4.0% 4.0% 2.0% 2.0% 0.0% 0:00 6:00 12:00 18:00 0:00 0.0% 0:00 6:00 12:00 18:00 0: % 10.0% 8.0% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% Weekdays Weekends Calculate factors in each region for utilitarian, recreational, mixed, and other(?) traffic patterns. 0.0% 0:00 6:00 12:00 18:00 0:00

A party factor group?

13 Modeling Trail Traffic Trail traffic is function of Temporal variables Weather Neighborhood socio-demographics Urban form Trail characteristics Accessibility to destinations Integration into street network Goal: multiple, parsimonious models

14 Indianapolis Trail Traffic Models Trail Network, Access Zones Greenways! Counter Locations Counter Networks (1/2 mile) Counter Neighborhoods Major Streets Marion County Boundary Miles Kilometers ± Variables in OLS Models (explain + 80% of variation in daily traffic) Temporal Weekend / weekday Month-of-year Weather Temperature Precipitation (snow) Sunshine Neighborhood Household Characteristics Age Race Education Income Urban Form Population density % Commercial land use Parking lot area Mean segment street length Trail Characteristics Paved / unpaved Greenness Viewshed quality # road Intersections Sinuosity Slope Amenity density

15 Minneapolis Trail Traffic Models Trail Monitoring Sites Modeling Approaches General model temporal, weather, neighborhood, urban form variables Six location model: temporal, weather, site dummy variables Site specific model: temporal, weather variables
