Attributes Included in COMPASS™ Transportation Networks Public Modes Auto In-Vehicle Time Travel Time Access/Egress Time Congestion Delay Time Transfer Time Wait Time Fare Operating Costs* Costs Access/Egress Costs Tolls* Parking Cost Parking Costs* Schedule Service Frequency * Divided by occupancy 6 TEMS, Inc.

Sources of Transportation Networks Transportation networks were based on:  State and Local Departments of Transportation highway databases  National Highway System (NHS) database  Amtrak schedules  Airline schedules  The ten percent sample of airline tickets  Greyhound schedules  Megabus schedules 7 TEMS, Inc.

COMPASS™ Networks  The COMPASS™ Networks include the following networks from Charlotte, NC to Boston, MA (including the Hampton Roads area, Richmond, VA, Washington, DC, and New York, NY): Intercity Highway  Passenger Rail  Air  Intercity Bus  8 TEMS, Inc.

Sources of Base Year Trip Database  The Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B) Air Ticket Database  T-100 Air Market and Segment Database  Greyhound and Megabus Schedules  Previous travel origin-destination surveys  State department of transportation (Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC, North Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts) highway traffic volume Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) data  Amtrak passenger rail ridership data  Amtrak station volume data  TEMS 2012 Virginia Travel Survey 9 TEMS, Inc.

Base Year 2012 Annual Intercity Travel Market for the Whole Study Area that Extends from Boston to Charlotte Travel Market Share by Mode Person Trips by Mode (million) Total Base Year 2012 Annual Person Trips: 58.97 Million 10 TEMS, Inc.

Values of Time, Frequency, and Access Time VOT (2012 $/Hour) Air Bus Car Rail Business $44.45 $11.07 $19.42 $22.51 Commuter - $7.15 $14.80 $18.80 Social $31.76 $8.54 $16.88 $17.88 VOF (2012 $/Hour) Air Bus Rail Business $28.81 $7.33 $18.58 Commuter $6.50 $13.67 Social $26.28 $7.75 $16.13 VOA (2012 $/Hour) Air Bus Rail Business $62.91 - $42.73 Commuter - $8.89 $29.15 Social $47.94 $10.77 $37.66  Intercity value of time is larger than intraurban value of time due to longer trip length, this explains why commuters have lower value of time, which have more intraurban trips than other trip purposes 11 TEMS, Inc.
