Operations Planning Process• Ridership Forecasting
– Daily and hourly ridership forecasts– Boardings and alightings by station
• Operations Planning– Required buses per hour– Bus fleet size

Ridership Forecasting(Regional Model)
• Ridership - key input into operations planning process– Sufficient service to comfortably accommodate estimated
riders• Customized version of Metropolitan Washington
Council of Governments Regional TransportationModel– Model of regional transportation network– Model purposes:
• Air quality conformity analysis– EPA Certification
• Project planning– Results calibrated against actual data

Ridership Forecasting(Project Specific Model)
• Regional model further customized– Accurately reflect walk distances and access to transit– Accurately reflect how people choose modes– Accurately reflect non-work trips
• All results validated against actual real-world data• Purple Line variant of the regional model
– Certified by the Federal Transit Administration• CCT model – customized version of Purple Line

Operations Planning• Step 1 – Final Policy Guidelines
– Vehicle type• 60’ articulated vehicle with 60 seats• Diesel-Electric Hybrid
– Acceptable maximum passenger load• 60 seated/30 standing passengers per vehicle (industry standard)
– Services utilizing transitway• Only CCT branded vehicles
– Two route patterns – CCT Direct and CCT via USG– No proposed changes to RideOn, WMATA, or local shuttle
Networks• Ongoing co-ordination with agencies
– Elements impacting CCT operations• Fare collection approach• Transit Signal Priority• Vehicle configuration

Operations Planning (cont.)
• Step 2 – Calculate required # of buses perhour– Ridership forecast - determine maximum
passenger load location and hour• AM Peak• Mid-Day
– Maximum load will dictate the required number ofbuses per hour

Operations Planning (cont.)• Step 2 – cont.
– Maximum Load – 893• Northbound between East Gaither and West Gaither
– Required # of Bus Arrivals• 893/90 passengers (allowable load) = 9.92 = 10 buses
on CCT Direct required per hour to meet demand– Frequency = 60/10 = a bus every 6 minutes

Operations Planning• Step 4 – Calculate Opening Year Vehicle
Requirements– CCT via USG – 7 vehicles– CCT Direct – 15 vehicles– Total Service Requirement = 22 vehicles– Spare Vehicle Requirement = 5 vehicles– 27 vehicles in fleet
• Full fleet estimate in 2035 – 39 vehicles
