Task 3.4 Mobilitv Problem Definition The Cordoba team will collect appropriate data to be used in defining the transportation mobility problem in this area of the City of Santa Ana and in evaluating the potential benefits of a major transit corridor investment. The purpose of this task will be to quantify the current mobility problem and to lay the foundation for the evaluation of alternative transit solutions to be evaluated later in the study. The Cordoba team will produce graphics, charts, growth forecasts and other visual media as critical communication tools for making the case for capital improvements in this corridor. Based on the review of existing studies and documents under the previous task, the Cordoba team will collect the necessary data needed to conduct the AA Study analysis. This will cover all existing reference and research materials related to the Corridor for the AA phase including, but not limited to, the following: • Demographic and land use data and plans • Existing and future transit systems • Roadway network and traffic volumes and levels of service • Existing and future travel patterns • Base maps • Aerial photos • Other relevant information We will incorporate input from key study participants and from the public. Deliverable(s) — Santa Ana Guideway Mobility Problem Definition Report Task 3.5 Goals. Obiectives and Evaluation Criteria Working with the City and key project participants and stakeholders, the Cordoba team will develop Goals and Objectives for the project. Some of the project goals will derive from the Mobility Problem Definition. Others will reflect over -arching goals of the City for mobility and accessibility, and its vision of the interaction between its transportation systems, land use and community and economic development. They should take into account the OCTA Board Approved Criteria for the Go Local Program as well as the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) evaluation factors applied to New/Small Starts proposals. We will also develop evaluation criteria which will allow us to assess the degree to which the various alternatives under consideration satisfy the goals and objectives of the study. City staff is currently involved with key members of the Cordoba team in developing the evaluation criteria and methodology for the Central County Corridor MIS. We anticipate a similar iterative process as we work with the City and key project participants and stakeholders to identify the evaluation criteria, and develop the screening and evaluation methodology and define the specific performance measures by which the evaluation criteria will be applied. The performance measures will be 7 1 Fuge
