SLIDE 35

Existing GDOT Rideshare Lots

35

General Characteristics

  • About 20-35 spaces at each lot
  • Utilization varies by location

(40% - 110%)

  • Limited way-finding signage
  • Most require restriping and lighting
  • Expansion opportunities may exist

INITIAL OBSERVATIONS

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Initial Observations

37

Regional Demographics & Travel Patterns

  • Highest population growth rates in Effingham and Bryan

Counties

  • Population and employment growth forecast along and

west of I-95 corridor

  • Over 2/3 of work trips from Effingham and Bryan Counties

are leaving those counties

  • Over 3/4 of work trips from Liberty and Bulloch Counties

are remaining within those counties

  • Most work trips in Jasper and Beaufort SC Counties are

remaining in South Carolina

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Initial Observations

38

Activity Center Employment & Travel Patterns

  • Highest employment and densities in Downtown Savannah
  • Other areas with significant employment and densities

include:  Gulfstream/Airport  Hospitals Area  Hunter Army Airfield  Oglethorpe Mall and Southside Areas

  • Mitsubishi/Mega Site has high forecast employment and

could be future transit service market

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Initial Observations

39

Activity Center Employment & Travel Patterns (Continued)

  • LEHD analysis suggests key commute corridors for major

work trip attraction areas are:  Northwest (Highway 21)  West (US 80 and I-16)  South (US 17 and I-95)

  • Existing GDOT rideshare lots fall within these corridors
  • Additional household/employer information to be collected

through stakeholder interviews before finalizing recommended corridors and work place destinations

Regional Demographics & Travel Patterns

  • Stakeholder Input/Interviews
  • Completion of Tech Memo 2 (draft) with travel pattern

analysis and commuter travel shed prioritization findings

  • Stakeholder Meeting #2

 Review of Tech Memo #2  Seek input on park & ride lot identification and evaluation process
