Different <br />types of public transportation projects (vehicle, passenger facility, administrative /maintenance /operations facility, and <br />fixed guideway) have different scoring processes for the Regional and Division categories. <br />Public Transit Scoring (Demand Response) <br />Funding <br />Category <br />Quantitative Data <br />Local Input <br />Funding <br />Quantitative Data <br />Division <br />MPO <br />Category <br />Input <br />Input <br />Input <br />Benefit /Cost = 20% <br />Measurement of the total projected passenger trips compared to the cost of the project to the state <br />Measurement of travel time savings and safety benefits the project is expected to provide over 10 <br />and lifespan of the project. <br />years compared to the cost of the project to NCDOT. <br />Demand /Density = 20% <br />Congestion = 20% <br />Regional <br />Measurement of the number of service hours devoted to the project compared to the service <br />Measurement of the Peak ADT traffic volume on the roadway compared to the existing capacity of <br />Impact <br />population. <br />15% <br />the roadway, weighted by the total traffic volume along the roadway. • 80% Existing Volume/ <br />Efficiency = 15% <br />Capacity Ratio • 20% Existing Volume <br />Measurement of the vehicle utilization ratio. <br />Safety = 10% <br />Impact = 10% <br />Regional <br />Measurement of the number, severity, and density of crashes along the roadway and calculate future <br />Measurement of the number trips affected by the project. <br />Impact <br />safety benefits. <br />15% <br />15% <br />Accessibility /Connectivity = 10% <br />Measurement of county economic distress indicators and whether the project upgrades how the <br />roadway functions.
