proposed in TransPlan the service will Provide a quick and easy transportation solution for a whole variety of trip pu~oses and will compete Well with the travel time of the automobile along major corrid~>rs. A~ s~ch, the service will start to attract mom riders. As the time between buses uS~g the BRT corridor diminishes, so to does the need for using a schedule. Connecting viable nodes along the BRT co~dor creates the ability for mom ride~ to use the service to g~t to and from the destinations they Want to go to. Transportation Demand Management (TD3,0 ~ TDM is the essential management of information that can be provided to prOspective users of alternative means of transportation to diminish their reliance on driving to and from destinations Via their own automohiles~ An essential component in establiSh~g TDM programs is marketing. The more attractive TDM options become, the easier they are to use; however, in order to be used the public needs to be made aware that various prOgrams, facilities and ser~4ces exist. Nodal development coupled with TDM marketing and serVices effectively reduces the reliance of single occupancy automobile trips.

Analysm The assessment of compliance below focuses on the five objectives listed in the TPR. ective A: Achieving the alternative standard will result in a reduction in reliance on automobiles. The plan's perforrnance on this objective can be measured using the Travel Response performance measures. In general, the travel response described below relies on irnplementatmn of the nodal development, Bus Rapid Transit, and expanded TDM strategies set forth in TranSplan, and the Priority Bikeway Miles. ;a9 region's auto.

The target of increasing transit mode share on the congested corridors by 72 percent over the 1995 base is a si~ficant ~ in reliance on tthe automoNle.
