Metrolink Parking Study <br />Orange County, CA <br />The Orange County Transportation Authority selected <br />IBI Group to lead a comprehensive study examining <br />existing parking supply and conditions at the 11 <br />Metrolink stations in Orange County. The objective <br />of the study was to identify a "toolbox" of candidate <br />strategies that are tailored to the existing and future <br />environment at each station. The project consisted of <br />several components, including the production of five <br />technical memorandums. Key study elements included <br />a literature review of a range of parking management <br />strategies, followed by an analysis of 19 case studies <br />and their applicability, effectiveness, acceptability, <br />and costs. The team reviewed information related <br />to existing parking conditions, land use and parking <br />policies at the 11 Metrolink stations, including existing <br />parking supply, parking demand, ridership, land <br />uses, and future changes to land uses and parking <br />policies. IBI Group also conducted on -board and <br />Santa Ana Regional Transportation <br />C n'L r (SAPTC) Master Par <br />Santa Ana, CA <br />The City of Santa Ana selected IBI Group to <br />lead the Master Planning and Visioning effort <br />for the development of the Santa Ana Regional <br />Transportation Center (SARTC). IBI Group is tasked <br />to look at development of the station site and existing <br />neighborhood connections through three phased <br />development horizons, 2014, 2025 and 2040. IBI is <br />utilizing an integrated process that includes detailed <br />transportation planning, forecasting, constraints <br />analysis, concept station design, funding identification <br />and stakeholder engagement. SARTC is seen as an <br />important piece of a sustainable vibrant community, <br />offering residents not only increased and improved <br />transit options, but also a place to gather, shop, work <br />and play.

At the conclusion of <br />the study, IBI Group prepared a final report with near <br />and long term recommendations that station cities <br />and OCTA can draw upon, now and into the future, <br />to address specific challenges and needs associated <br />with Metrolink station parking demand. <br />considered as integral to the site visioning process. <br />The year long planning effort is bringing together a <br />wide variety of IBI Group resources, including detailed <br />engineering analysis, transportation planning, urban <br />design and station concept design, and will ultimately <br />provide Santa Ana with a vision that will guide site <br />and area development for years to come. <br />IBI Group 6.11.12 3 <br />
