As part of that identification process, the Consultant will conduct, up to twenty (20), <br /> one-on-one interviews with study partners'senior leadership,or senior technical staff. Incorporating feedback from <br /> stakeholder one-on-one interviews, along with the needs data analysis and plan review,the Consultant will use the <br /> Delphi technique to identify primary corridors. The Consultant will prepare and submit one (1) high-level <br /> memorandum identifying the regional network and primary corridors. <br /> Task D Deliverables: <br /> • One(1)high-level needs assessment memorandum <br /> o One(1)draft <br /> o One(1)final <br /> • One(1)existing plans memorandum <br /> o One(1)draft <br /> o One(1)final <br /> • One(1)high-level regional network and primary corridor identification memorandum <br /> o One(1)draft <br /> o One(1)final <br /> • One(1)high-level project equity plan <br /> o One(1)draft <br /> o One(1)final <br /> Task E—Project/Improvement Evaluation & Recommendations <br /> The Consultant will evaluate a suite of options which may be appropriate for implementation along primary corridors <br /> and the network overall.This may include: <br /> o Coordination with sponsors of existing plans and projects within the study area <br /> o Mobility Hubs, complete streets, TOD opportunities and micromobility solutions as a part of a robust <br /> regional multimodal transportation network especially in relation to already planned BRT corridors and <br /> proposed GoTriangle site in RTP <br /> o Explore opportunities for improved transit rider experience for existing and expanded Bus On Shoulder <br /> System(BOSS),selected operational or other low-cost improvements that may improve travel for transit <br /> and/or all users <br /> o Dynamic transit priority shoulders adjacent to freeway medians, including potential toll opportunities. <br /> o Express lanes with transit priority <br /> o Direct access ramps for enhanced freeway transit <br /> o Queue jump lanes or RED transit lanes <br /> o Transit facilities on the outside or in the median of arterials with alternative designs like reduced conflict <br /> intersections or median u-turns <br /> o BRT or FAST transit linkage between 1-40 and relocated regional transit center <br /> o On-ramp signals and freeway connector ramp signals for area freeways <br /> o Variable speed limits along area freeways <br /> o Transit signal priority standardization <br /> 6 <br />
