17 <br /> <br />community opinion surveys of the corridor alternatives include in the package. This package is rated <br />highest for consistency with local plans and policies, due to the high level of investment in <br />enhancements that contribute to improved safety and higher ridership. <br />Return on Investment <br />As noted, due to the qualitative aspect of many of the benefits, MovingAhead does not lend itself to a <br />typical Return on Investment (ROI) assessment. The EmX Package, like every investment package, will <br />create jobs associated with construction, may leverage discretionary federal funding, and improve <br />safety and mobility. In addition, this package is characterized by the following: <br /> An estimated $8.2 million annual increase in operating cost would result in an estimated <br />1,327000 for a cost of $6.18 per added trip. <br /> Total travel time savings for both existing and new riders as a result of travel time savings <br />associated with the EmX Package are estimated at 776,400 hours per year. <br /> The EmX Package would improve system reliability by constructing additional bus <br />priority/exclusivity. In total, 28.4% (14.27 miles) of package corridor lengths would feature bus <br />priority/exclusivity. <br /> The EmX Package would implement moderate safety improvements for motor vehicles, bicycles, <br />and pedestrians on one corridor and greater safety improvements on four corridors, for a total <br />of five corridors. <br /> Transit investments support transit oriented development. There are 287 acres of vacant, transit <br />supportive lands within the corridors with investments. <br /> <br />February 19, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
