criteria were used to supplement the percent of corridor use data to analyze relative benefits: 1. Corridor trip ends exceed 1.75 trip ends per gross acre of the TAZ. 2. Total corridor trip ends per TAZ exceed 2,000. 3. Trip end growth within each TAZ exceeds 45 %. 4. Perceived direct and indirect benefits to the transportation system. Identifiable physical and planned features closely approximating the pattern of corridor usage were used to describe the boundaries of the benefit areas. Within each Area of Benefit, some lands were judged to receive more benefit than others from the construction of the corridors. Developments which create relatively high demands for use of the corridors were placed in a different fee zone within the Area of Benefit than other developments with less direct use. The boundaries between the fee zones were determined utilizing the TAZ data on Exhibits III and IV. Traffic analysis zones where the percentage of corridor trip ends equals or exceeds 8% were defined as Zone A. Traffic analysis zones with less than 8% use were defined as Zone B. Zone A and B are depicted on Exhibit I. VII.
