Each day roughly <br />~ople will use the RTC for transportation purposes. An <br />~al 25,000 people will use the Center if the City is successful <br />~cting an airport shuttle operator to the RTC. <br /> <br />~ is extremely difficult to predict the number of inter-modal <br />rs that will take place at the RTC, an on-board survey of <br />;an Diegan trains conducted by the Orange County Transportation <br />~on in July 1984 indicated that 13% of the surveyed passengers <br />by local bus, inter-city bus or taxi. Moreover, roughly one <br />! the passengers surveyed on the trains were first time riders. <br />;gests that a significant portion of Amtrak's patrons will be <br />me or infrequent riders. Furthermore, Greyhound and Trailways <br />a Ana as a transfer point for several of their inter-city bus <br /> This factor together with the general infrequent nature ~f <br /> ty bus travel supports the assumption that many of the RTC s <br /> will be unfamiliar with the Center. <br /> <br /> by definition the RTC is a regional, multi-modal facility <br /> toward long-distance travellers, it will serve as an <br />t link for trips destined throughout Orange County and the <br />California area. Key destinations within a five-mile radius <br />enter include the Santa Aha - Orange County Civic Center <br />Disneyland, and world renown South Coast Plaza. More <br />tly, employment densities within this radius are projected to <br /> by 30% by 1990 thus providing a growing number of business <br />~rcial destinations in the area. The regional significance of <br />~r implies a need for readily available information concerning <br />estinations and 'attractions and how one would reach them. <br />~ of information is standard in similar facilities nationwide <br /> ease the sometimes burdensome and confusing task of <br />ring between travel modes. <br /> <br />the RTC is a sizable facility - a 47,000 sq. ft. terminal with <br />~nger arcades extending 200 and 400 feet from the building and <br />ace parking lot covering approximately 7 acres. While the <br />developed an extensive signage program for the Center and <br />~vide some information services, we anticipate the need to <br />!nt the program with an integrated passenger information <br /> <br /> <br />
