North Front Range MPO Scone of Work for Transit Services
SCOPE OF WORK FOR TRANSIT SERVICES
The following scope is proposed to be completed by Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig, in conjunction
with TransitPlus. Suzanne O'Neill will be the primary planner for the transit items and will be
assisted by Holly Miller. In addition, North Front Range MPO will make available a staff member,
Rick Hufnagel, to assist with the work and to learn from the process.
Four separate projects are identified. They are, however inter -related and some build off of or
are dependent on others. In identifying the time commitment that will be required, this proposal
assumes that Suzanne O'Neill and often Holly Miller will attend monthly meetings of the Transit
Advisory Group (TAG). It is assumed that each month the entire TAG will meet and then the
members representing Larimer County will meet to address issues unique to Larimer County and
the Transportation Management Area. Suzanne O'Neill will meet with the Larimer County
members after the main Transit Advisory Group meeting.
PROJECT 1: REGIONAL TRANSIT FRAMEWORK
Purpose: Create a document to guide the NFR MPO in developing inter- and intra-regional
transit services for the next twenty years. Key functions of the document will be
to identify priorities and to provide a framework for the Regional Transit Element
and other future planning activities.
1.1 Project Guidance
1.1.1 The Transit Advisory Group of the North Front Range Planning Council will
provide primary guidance on the development of the Regional Transit Framework.
The Transit Advisory Group will recommend a Regional Transit Framework to the
Planning Council.
1.1.2 The Transit Advisory Group will be asked to review work at the following stages:
- Project initiation; goal setting
- Existing services and demand for regional services
- Ideal system; constraints; priorities/objectives
- Realistic system
This will be done over a five month period, with the first meeting at the end of
June and the project completed by the September meeting of the TAG.
1.1.3 Presentation of the recommended Regional Framework will be made to the
Planning Council.
1.2 Goals/Objectives/Priorities
1.2.1 Develop a consensus on what entities in the region wish to achieve with the
regional transit framework. How does each entity see their local service
interfacing or working with the regional framework? What will the role of the
regional transit framework be in the development of the Regional Transit
Element? (June TAG Meeting)

1.2.2 After the ideal framework is described and the constraints have been identified,
the Consultant team will describe changes in goals, priorities, and project
evaluation criteria that would be useful in the development of regional services.
These will be presented to the Transit Advisory Group and recommendations
prepared on which to base the development of a realistic regional system.
(August TAG Meeting)
1.3 Existing Systems
1.3.1 Describe the existing transit systems in the NFR region, planned service
improvements, and connections to neighboring services. The consultant team
will draw heavily on descriptions of public transit systems that are in existing
documents, updating as needed. The emphasis will be on including updates and
planned service improvements, incorporating information on regional services
that are available through the private sector, and providing information on
connections between systems, including connections to RTD in Longmont and
Brighton.
1.4 Demand for Regional Services
1.4.1 Identify the demand for transit services between communities in the region and,
at a more general level, demand to communities outside the region. The
Consultant team will use the most recent traffic flow information from the demand
model and travel survey. If released, the 2000 CTTP Journey to Work flows
between Places will be used in demand estimations. The demand information
will include work trips and other trips. The source data will determine the degree
to which other trips can be broken down (such as by trip purpose or time of day).
1.4.2 Demand will be projected based on anticipated growth in the region over the next
twenty years.
The work prepared in Tasks 3 and 4 will be presented to the Transit Advisory Group at its
July Meeting.
1.5 Ideal Regional Transit Framework
1.5.1 Identify the types of services and connections that would meet these travel
needs. These services and connections may be oriented to varying markets
(commute trips, student trips, trips for services (medical, personal business, etc.),
or social/recreational trips).
1.5.2 Analyze how these services would fit or could be integrated with the existing
services. What are the differences between the markets each system serves
today and those that would be served through regional service? What
connections would be needed in each local service in order to make services
viable? What local changes might be needed to make the regional system
viable?

1.5.3 Determine an ideal regional framework that is efficient, cost-effective, and
provides a solid level of service, based on the findings of Tasks 2.4 and 2.6.
Identify how the framework might develop over time and any phasing of
components that would be appropriate. Determine basic characteristics such as
cost, revenues, number of vehicles, and ridership. Identify the financial, political,
and operational constraints that would affect the implementation of such a
system.
The information developed in this task will be documented in a technical memorandum
and presented to the Transit Advisory Group for review at its August meeting.
1.6 Realistic Regional Transit Framework
1.6.1 Identify a realistic regional network based upon the existing constraints and
recommended actions identified in Task 2.2. Detail the service, financial,
institutional, and political parameters of the framework components.
1.6.2 Identify phasing and changes that need to be made in the region for the system to
function effectively. Break out the functional components that would need to be
implemented together or in a particular order to be effective. These components
may include pieces of regional service, local service, or institutional / financial
activities. Recommend priorities for development based on ridership, operational
requirements, potential to implement, and goals of the region.
1.6.3 Present the draft regional transit framework to the Transit Advisory Group for
review. Incorporate changes and present recommended Draft Final Regional
Transit Framework to the Planning Council.
1.6.4 Prepare a final report that incorporates changes requested by the Planning
Council.
PROJECT 2: LARIMER COUNTY TRANSIT COORDINATION
Purpose: Address integration or coordination of transit services funded through urban and
rural programs. To address and gain consensus on allocation of Section 5307
funds on a multi -year basis throughout the urbanized area.
2.1 Allocation of 5307 Funding
2.1.1 Review current allocation formula. Compare formula to service levels, needs for
local transit services, and needs for regional services. Develop allocation
scenarios for future years based on these factors
2.1.2 Work with Larimer County portion of Transit Advisory Group to develop
consensus on allocation formula for FY 2004 and future years.
2.2 Integration of 5307 and 5310/5311 Services
2.2.1 Describe opportunities to integrate services funded by 5307 and 5310/5311
dollars. Evaluate the overlap in services and the overlap in providers. Evaluate
the ability of existing providers to serve all areas of County or the lack of providers
in some areas. Evaluate needs and resources of major 5310 eligible entities in
County.
2.2.2 Identify ways in which services could be integrated and the mechanisms for doing
so. Present these to the Larimer County portion of the Transit Advisory Group
and develop recommendations.

PROJECT 3: REGIONAL TRANSIT ELEMENT
Purpose: Assist MPO staff in the preparation of the Regional Transit Element. The focus of
this project will be to provide technical support and assist the MPO in building a
foundation from which they can continue transit planning activities. The tasks
listed in this project reflect only those items with which the consultant team will be
involved. As feasible, MPO staff will assist in preparing the background data and
testing scenarios as part of these tasks.
3.1 Demand Estimations and Projections
3.1.1 Identify a range of demand estimations based on different assumptions for
service levels and funding. The demand will include local regional, and rural
components. In addition, program transportation needs will be estimated. A
variety of demand estimation techniques will be evaluated to see which are most
appropriate for the various areas of the region. These may include those from
TCRP Report 3, historical trends from existing providers, and mode share models
based on projected trip -making and mode shares for similar services. (Note:
development of regional demand is included in the Regional Transit Framework
project.) The demand estimation will initially be based on current year numbers
but also projected through 2030 based on growth projections.
3.1.2 The assumptions and demand numbers will be presented to the Transit Advisory
Group for review and comment. Different communities or areas may chose to
Based on different service level and funding assumptions, the demand that the
alternatives will strive to meet may vary between different communities or types of
service.
3.2 Performance Measures
3.2.1 Review existing services to determine performance measures that will reflect both
the character and performance of the existing services operating in the region.
3.2.2 Develop a uniform set of performance measures for the services in the region. It
is likely that different sets of measures will be needed for fixed route, demand
response, and private non-profit services.
3.3 Assist in Developing Alternatives Analysis
3.3.1 The alternatives will be based on the projected demand, vision and goals adopted
for the Regional Transportation Plan, existing services, projects submitted by
Transit Advisory Group members, the Regional Transit Framework and other
factors. The analysis of the alternatives will consist of:
• Identifying scenarios for transit services through 2030. These scenarios
will be set up to include the range of projects and strategies that are
identified in the above activities.
• Identifying criteria for evaluation, ones that both identify the relative
effectiveness of transit service options and provide a measure of how well
the alternative meets the regional goals.
• Applying the evaluation criteria to the scenarios
3.4 Assist in Developing Financial Plan
3.4.1 Assist in developing 30 projections of revenues for funding transit services,
including fare revenues and federal, local, and matching sources fund sources.
3.4.2 Assist in preparing/reviewing cost estimates for replacement of vehicles for
existing services and projected vehicles.
