Bus Rapid Transit Program Analysis, Outreach and Initial Corridor
Recommendation
This report provides the Transportation, Infrastructure and Planning Subcommittee a
summary of the community engagement process held between February and
December 2020 regarding the analysis conducted to develop recommendations for
establishing Phoenix’s Bus Rapid Transit program. This report also requests the
subcommittee recommend City Council approval of an initial Bus Rapid Transit corridor
along 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street.
THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION.
Summary
In 2015, Phoenix voters approved Proposition 104, creating the 35-year street and
transit plan known as Transportation 2050 (T2050) which identified Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) as a key component to continue expanding the City’s high-capacity transit
network. BRT is a high-capacity bus service that focuses on improved speed,
reliability, convenience and the overall transit experience. There are common recurring
elements found in successful BRT systems, such as: advanced fare collection;
enhanced stations; dedicated lanes; custom buses; transit spot improvements; and
unique branding.
In 2019, Phoenix BRT Program staff were tasked by Phoenix’s Citizens Transportation
Commission (CTC) and City Council with reevaluating the BRT corridors as originally
outlined in the T2050 plan. The reevaluation was sought as the result of the passage
of time since the development of the T2050 plan, whereby Phoenix has experienced
significant changes in residential and commercial developments, population growth
and density, in addition to ongoing regional efforts to identify additional BRT corridors
that may travel through Phoenix. The analysis considered various elements of transit
propensity (population, employment, low-income households, minority populations,
persons with disabilities, zero-automobile households, persons under 18 and over 64
years in age), historical transit performance and ridership forecasting models utilizing
the Federal Transit Administration’s scenario-planning software. Using these data
points and processes, six potential BRT corridors were identified and are shown below:
x Camelback Road/24th Street;
Page 37
Agenda Date: 9/15/2021, Item No. 7
x Indian School Road/24th Street;
x Thomas Road/44th Street;
x McDowell Road/44th Street;
x 35th Avenue/Van Buren Street; and
x 19th Avenue/Van Buren Street.
The six corridors above were further evaluated to develop potential BRT network
options. The network analysis used industry best practices of two-mile spacing
between corridors, good connections to light rail and frequent local bus service,
intersection with other BRT corridors, and end points with highly used origins and
destinations. Based on this analysis, four potential BRT network scenarios are shown
below:
x Camelback Road/24th Street, Thomas Road/44th Street and 35th Avenue/Van
Buren Street;
x Camelback Road/24th Street, Thomas Road/44th Street and 19th Avenue/Van
Buren Street;
x Indian School Road/24th Street, McDowell Road/44th Street and 35th Avenue/Van
Buren Street; and
x Indian School Road/24th Street, McDowell Road/44th Street and 19th Avenue/Van
Buren Street.
The Phoenix BRT Program facilitated multiple BRT workshops, including an in-depth
technical workshop with multiple City departments, Valley Metro, Maricopa Association
of Governments, Arizona Department of Transportation and the established program
consultant teams. Two executive workshops were also held for CTC and
Councilmembers. The purpose of the workshops was to review the six potential
corridors based on the results of the transit technical analysis and to obtain input on
the four potential BRT network scenarios.
The results of this data-driven process revealed Camelback Road/24th Street, Thomas
Road/44th Street and 35th Avenue/Van Buren Street as the most productive corridors
with the highest demand and need.
After the workshops, the focus transitioned to community education, engagement and
input which is described under Public Outreach.
Regional Efforts
In addition to the Phoenix BRT Program, MAG is conducting a Regional Bus Rapid
Transit Feasibility Study to document the potential for the implementation of BRT
within the MAG region. Phoenix has been an integral part of this collaboration along
Page 38
Agenda Date: 9/15/2021, Item No. 7
with six other member cities: Glendale, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, and
Gilbert.
Through this study, MAG has identified potential BRT corridors which were evaluated
based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. These corridors were identified for further
study for a proposed new regional BRT program (Attachment A).
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Citizens Transportation Commission recommended approval of the initial Bus
Rapid Transit corridor of 35th Avenue/Van Buren Street on May 27, 2021, by a vote of
10-0.
Public Outreach
Community Education and Engagement
From February to December 2020, the Phoenix BRT program launched an education
and engagement campaign to provide continuous opportunities for the community to
learn about the program and provide input on the six potential corridors and four
potential networks. To best reach the community, BRT program staff employed both
traditional in-person and virtual outreach methods and provided all materials in both
English and Spanish. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, outreach efforts shifted
to virtual platforms in March 2020. Below is a list of outreach tools and materials used
to engage and educate the public and solicit feedback:
x Transit analysis maps;
x Social media;
x Program webpage (www.phoenix.gov/brt);
x Project fact sheet;
x Frequently Asked Questions;
x “BRT 101” videos;
x Online meeting webpage;
x In-person/virtual meetings with all 15 City of Phoenix Village Planning Committees;
x In-person/virtual meetings with community groups;
x News releases and television programs;
x Live virtual public meetings; and
x Shape Your BRT survey.
Survey Results
The Phoenix BRT program developed the Shape your BRT survey to garner
community input on potential BRT elements, the six potential BRT corridors, and the
four potential BRT network scenarios.
Page 39
Agenda Date: 9/15/2021, Item No. 7
Based on the survey results, respondents’ most preferred BRT foundation network
aligns with the technical analysis results and community feedback received during the
community education and engagement efforts: Camelback Road/24th Street, Thomas
Road/44th Street and 35th Avenue/Van Buren Street.
Community Engagement Summary
The Community Engagement Summary can be found in Attachment B. Highlights
include:
x 474 survey responses;
x 26 in-person or virtual meetings;
x Connected with over 1,200 community members;
x Responded to nearly 600 questions and comments;
x 4,581 BRT webpage views;
x BRT 101 video views (1,040 English and 92 Spanish);
x 766 online meeting webpage views;
x Online meeting video views: 300 English and 89 Spanish;
x Residents’ input shows that the selected corridors are preferred because BRT could
serve more transit riders; take riders to key locations; closer to home, school, or
work; and may reduce commute times;
x Top themes for network modification suggestions were to extend networks further
west, extend networks further north and south, and to limit overlap with light rail;
and
x Key final comment themes are support for dedicated lanes, extending networks
north, south, east, and west; and provide connections to surrounding/outlying areas
and avoid overlapping services on 19th Avenue.
Location
Along 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street.
Council Districts: 1, 4, 5 and 7
Recommendation
The Public Transit Department requests the Transportation, Infrastructure, and
Planning Subcommittee recommend City Council approval of an initial BRT corridor:
35th Avenue/Van Buren Street (Attachment C).
While the Camelback Road/24th Street and Thomas Road/44th Street corridors were
also identified as most preferred during the technical analysis and the community
education and engagement efforts, there is ongoing analysis of future high capacity
transit planning in west Phoenix that may affect these corridors and the overall future
BRT network. It is recommended that a final decision on these east-west BRT
Page 40
Agenda Date: 9/15/2021, Item No. 7
corridors be deferred until there is further resolution on high capacity transit corridors
in west Phoenix.
Upon approval of the initial BRT corridor, the next steps in the process for the 35th
Avenue/Van Buren Street corridor include:
x Refining a BRT program schedule, including the phasing and implementation for the
initial BRT corridor and future BRT network;
x Beginning corridor planning (operations and capital) and development of conceptual
alternatives;
x Establishing corridor-specific outreach tools and techniques; and
x Identifying a funding plan and potential partners, including working to identify
available grants.
