Founded in 1987, Nelson\Nygaard has grown from its roots in transit planning to full -service transportation firm with over 130 people in offices across the United States.

As the neighboring community to Marion County and Indianapolis, Carmel is envisioned as the first extension of the IndyGo Red Line. While currently unfunded beyond the Marion County boundary, the development of this High Capacity Transit service in the coming years warrants a complementary plan for providing access to the Phase 1 terminus and eventually feeder options to the Phase 2 service through the core of Carmel. In addition, Carmel's vibrant Arts and Design District and other local destinations may warrant some form of local transit service to provide residents and visitors with alternative transportation options. Nelson\Nygaard is excited about the opportunity of assisting the City of Carmel with evaluating local and regional mobility needs, particularly as it relates to access to employment, education, health care, regional transit, and other community resources. We designed a work plan that uses comprehensive analyses and stakeholder engagement as a foundation for potential mobility solutions and strategies, while enabling our team to deliver a product that meets and exceeds expectations. 1.1 Kickoff Meeting Following the notice to proceed, we will initiate the project with a kickoff meeting to bring together City of Carmel staff and key members of the Nelson\Nygaard team. The consultant team will personally meet with staff for the following purposes: ■ Discuss project objectives and priorities ■ Fine-tune the project scope and schedule ■ Identify relevant data from prior planning work ■ Discuss immediate next steps, upcoming meetings, and deliverables As part of our kickoff meeting activities, we also propose to spend time onsite touring the city to observe recent development and other changes. We encourage staff to accompany us as we tour the city and also recommend convening as a group at the end of our site visit to discuss our initial impressions and ideas. This process ensures we develop a common understanding and get up to speed quickly. A draft kickoff agenda will be submitted to staff for review and revision prior to the meeting and notes will be recorded. Following the kickoff meeting, we will refine the project schedule as necessary and pro -Me a meeting summary. We will also set up a standing biweekly conference call time for the project team in order to ensure that there are frequent opportunities to check in and that any issues may be resolved in a short timeframe. 1.2 Stakeholder Engagement Plan Our team will integrate stakeholder participation throughout the planning process to ensure that the project reflects the shared needs, priorities, and values as expressed by leaders in the Exhibit Nelsonftgaard Consulting Associates, Inc. 2 CiT ! C' TRANSIT PLAN City of Carmel community. Following the project kickoff meeting, our team will finalize the stakeholder engagement plan discussed more in Task 3. 2.1 Document Review Immediately following the kickoff meeting, we will conduct a thorough review of relevant comprehensive and transportation plans and studies. We will confirm a list of existing documents to review during the kickoff meeting, but anticipate that it will include the following: ■ Carmel Clay Comprehensive Plan (2oi6) • Central Indiana Transit Plan (2oi6) ■ Indianapolis MPO 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (2017) ■ Indianapolis MPO Transit Impact Study (ongoing) ■ Midtown Redevelopment Plan (2012) ■ Merchant's Square Redevelopment Plan (2012) The document review will provide background on community goals, objectives, and policies. We will also review relevant research, surveys, and inter -local agreements as directed by staff. 2.2 Land Use and Infrastructure As a starting point in our analysis of existing conditions in Carmel, we will develop a series of maps and narratives detailing zoning, future land use, public -owned parcels, proposed development, existing roadway network, street characteristics, signalized intersections, and traffic volumes. We will also map multimodal transportation features, such as the existing sidewalk and bikeway networks, curb ramps, pedestrian crossings, and bicycle facilities to demonstrate how they might interact with transit. This multimodal assessment will inform the development of initial service concepts. Because pedestrian access is a crucial aspect of transit usage, we will use a combination of field evaluation and Nearmap high -resolution imagery to identify physical barriers to mobility, such as highways, large parcels, railroads, and waterways. 2.3 Transportation Services Inventory Currently the Hamilton County Express is the only general public transit service in Hamilton County. In addition, the Primelife Enrichment service provides transportation to persons over the age of 50. For each service, we will produce a profile that will summarize eligibility, availability (days of service, hours of operation, etc.) and fare, if any. In past transit studies for similar communities, we have obtained travel pattern data from transportation providers to gain insight on travel demand and unmet public transit needs. We will request trip manifest data from each service operator to understand origin/destination usage patterns of these services. By summarizing and mapping this data we Nvill be able to understand where the major trip generators are within Carmel, and whether trips are being made locally (starting and ending in Carmel), connecting to other parts of Hamilton County, or connecting to Marion County. If available, we %rill also map usage patterns of Carmel's Zagster Bike Share system in order understand opportunities for integrating modes and broadening the potential for multimodal trips. Exhibit Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. 3ofD TRANSIT PLAN City of Carmel We will also request relevant data from CIRTA's Commuter Connect vanpool program to identify travel patterns of commuters living or working in Carmel. While the service is no longer operational, we will also request historical information on the commuter express service that operated between 2oo8 and 2014 to connect residents to Indianapolis, as it may serve as an indicator of latent demand for future transit service. In addition, we will request any statistics on ridership that may have been collected in the 2018 holiday season on the Carmel Holiday Trolley to understand if there may be opportunities to expand this service to other parts of the year. 2.4 Comprehensive Market Analysis Understanding demand is a fundamental step in developing a transit plan. Using the latest Census American Community Survey (ACS) data, we will develop maps depicting population, employment and other demographic or socio-economic densities. We will also create a transit demand index map to illustrate which residential areas have the greatest need for transit service. In addition, we will analyze data from the U.S. Census Longitudinal Employer -Household Dynamics (LEHD) to understand local and regional employment travel patterns. LEHD data will provide information on where residents of Carmel work and where employees working in Carmel live in order to identify the strongest potential markets for job -access service. LEHD data can alsobe segmented by income and industry to pinpoint the home -work travel flows of populations that are more likely to use transit. TRANSIT PROPENSITY -'� - . �-L•r ter - Through the review of existing documents and collective staff knowledge, we will also identify key destinations and activity centers. Indianapolis MPO population, employment and travel demand data will provide insight into existing travel patterns and anticipated growth in Carmel. Nelson\Nygaard will create maps showing trip volumes between Carmel and other areas of the region that will help inform major origin and destination patterns. 2.5 Peer Review The purpose of the peer review is to evaluate transit best practices of cities similar to Carmel to identify best practices and potential pitfalls involved in the development of transit services. The cities selected for this analysis will be similar in terms of population, density, predominant commute patterns, and proximity to major regional urban centers. Transit characteristics evaluated in this peer review include the evolution of transit service, operating structure, funding strategies, ridership performance, local partnerships, and regional coordination. The peer review will also include case studies that demonstrate a variety of ways that cities with similar characteristics as Carmel have structured, implemented, and developed new service, and partnered or contracted with neighboring transit system. Findings of the peer Exhibit NelsonlNygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. cl600 TRANSIT PLAN City of Carmel review are intended to inform city council members and members of the community of how Carmel compares with peer cities in terms of transit needs and options. 2.6 Existing and Future Conditions Report Technical work described in tasks 2.1-2.5 will be summarized in an Existing and Future Conditions Report, which uses visually appealing maps and graphics to present key findings and identify transit needs, challenges, and opportunities for implementing transit, paratransit or other emerging mobility services in Carmel. Deliverable: Existing and Future Conditions Report 3.1 Stakeholder Meetings In collaboration with City of Carmel Community Relations Department, we will compile a database of stakeholders that represent different segments of the community. We anticipate inviting representatives from the following organizations as well as other stakeholders identified by city staff (in particular, elected officials): ■ Neighborhood or Home Owners Associations • CIRTA • Janus Developmental Services ■ PrimeLife Enrichment, Inc. • St. Vincent Health ■ IU Health North • Carmel Arts & Design District • OneZone ■ Carmel Clay Public Library • Carmel Clay Schools ■ Monon Community Center We propose two rounds of stakeholder meetings. The first round will take place after the completion of the Existing and Future Conditions Report to solicit feedback regarding mobility needs and opportunities. A second round of stakeholder meetings will take place after the development of initial service alternatives. Stakeholder meetings will be designed in such a way as to solicit information that responds to core questions but also allows for open-ended conversation. It is very important that we gain a complete understanding of the community desires and concerns. To encourage participants to speak frankly, we will ensure their comments are anonymous and present results so that comments are summarized by theme. In addition, members of the project team will be available to brief elected officials at strategic points of the study. Discussions with elected officials would be conducted on an individual basis and would take place either in person or by phone, as schedules permit. Briefings would likely take place during both rounds of stakeholder outreach, but can be tailored to an appropriate time commitment from each elected official as advised by City staff. To support these briefings, we urill develop concise presentations or documents that can be used to summarize other stakeholder Exhibit NelsonlNygaard Consulting Associates, Inc [�/r� TRANSIT PLAN City of Carmel feedback, service alternatives, as well as next steps. In our experience, it is equally crucial to have conversations with elected officials who are supportive of transit as well as with those who are wary of transit in order to gain consensus around a vision for transit services. Deliverables: Technical Memorandum summarizing stakeholder feedback 4.1 Vision, Goals, and Objectives Following the first round of stakeholder engagement, Nelson\Nygaard will facilitate a workshop with city staff to develop a realistic vision, goals and objectives for the possible implementation of transit service. We anticipate working closely with staff to develop realistic and attainable goals and objectives based on service evaluation findings, community desires, and political support. We typically categorize goals and objectives into themes that represent social, economic, and environmental priorities. This practice is useful in communicating the vision to decision -makers and stakeholders. Along with existing conditions findings and stakeholder feedback, it will also serve as a foundation for the development of initial service alternatives. 4.2 Initial Service Alternatives Based on the market research, stakeholder feedback, and project goals and objectives, we will create a series of initial service alternatives designed to serve various markets. In evaluating the viability of local and regional mobility options, it is important to consider all modes, vehicle types and operating scenarios, including but not limited to: ■ Fixed -route transit — Local circulator bus — Connections to Marion County — Commuter transit ■ On -demand transit — Paratransit — General-purpose dial -a -ride — Flex route ■ Emerging mobility Transportation Network Company (TNC) partnerships Microtransit Initial service alternatives will consist of route alignments, proposed stop locations, projected service parameters (headways, span, and hours of operation), potential vehicle types, estimated operating and capital costs. 4.3 Service Alternatives Refinement After receiving feedback on the initial service alternatives from staff and the stakeholders, we %%rill refine the service alternatives to reflect comments, concerns, or additional needs identified. Once the refined service alternatives have been reviewed and approved by city staff, we will develop a short-term and long-term operating and capital plan, described in Task 5. A simplified version of Exhibit /+_ NeisonlNygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. 6 J6 TRANSIT PLAN City of Carmel the refined service alternatives will also be developed in a graphic format that is easy for a range of audiences to comprehend. Deliverable: Technical Memorandum documenting Vision, Goals and Objectives 5.1 Operating and Capital Plan After finalizing service alternatives based on feedback from staff and stakeholders, we will develop a detailed short-term and long-term operating plan, which will summarize vision for transit in Carmel as well as how that may evolve as Central Indiana grows and invests in transit. The operating plan will include a detailed implementation schedule. Depending on the recommended mobility options, the operating plan will likely include many of the following elements: ■ Map of route alignments and stop locations ■ Preliminary route schedules .,..1 �_ WK �� ` ■ Service hours and vehicle requirements • Future expansion options, ■ ADA regulations_ ■ Operating options — City owned and operated' r -- City owned and third party operated w — Turn key • Performance measures and standards, and associated monitoring activities ■ Staffing needs ■ Marketing and communication strategies Nelson\Nygaard will also identify capital needs to support potential service investments, including but not limited to: ■ Fleet needs and replacement schedule ■ Bus stops signage and installation ■ Bus stop amenities such as benches, shelters, lighting and bike facilities ■ Design and construction of a transit center or mobility hub ■ Customer -focused technologies such as real-time arrival and fare collection apps ■ Infrastructure improvements and last -mile solutions such as sidewalks, crosswalks, signalized intersections The capital plan will have a planning horizon that reflects the short- and long-term elements of the operating plan. 5.2 Financial Plan Nelson\Nygaard will estimate operating and capital costs and recommend funding strategies for new transit investments specified in the operating and capital plan. This effort will involve Exhibit ._ NelsonWygaard Consulting Associates, Inc 7A TRANSIT PLAN City of Carmel comparing the cost/benefit of each operating options. We will also evaluate the feasibility of potential economic development and community partnership funding sources, in terms of their ability to generate revenue, technical feasibility, and political acceptance. Potential non- traditional funding sources include partnerships with government entities, sponsorships in the form of advertising revenues, and public -private partnerships with major employers. Our project team has experience helping transit providers negotiate agreements with benefiting partners to fund the implementation of new transit service. 5.3 Draft Report The products of the previous tasks will be summarized and compiled in the form of a draft plan, prior to the submittal of a final plan. Nelson\Nygaard will provide an electronic copy of the draft plan to city staff for review and comment. We will then schedule a conference call with city staff to discuss comments and proposed revisions. After the draft plan is revised to reflect city staff comments, we will present the draft plan to Carmel City Council during a work session or regular board meeting. We will also be prepared to answer any questions from the public. 5.4 Final Report After receiving feedback from City Council, Nelson\Nygaard will revise the draft report and produce a final report. We will provide printed and electronic copies of the final report along with an executive summary that includes projects goals/objectives, key findings, stakeholder feedback and recommendations. Deliverables: Draft and Final Reports We have assembled a team with relevant experience to fit the specific needs of this project. Full resumes of each staff member are included in the appendix.
