September 2019 9 Sec II. Existing Conditions

SECTION II. EXISTING CONDITIONS

Data describing the transportation facilities and services in the County were developed through an evaluation

of the existing transportation system. The following sections describe the existing roadway system, transit

services, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout Douglas County. Transportation projects included in

the current County Capital Improvement Program are included to represent the current and upcoming

commitments to improve our roadway network. GIS was used to collect, store, refine, manipulate and present

transportation facilities as well as the associated operational and descriptive attributes.

Roadway System ROADWAY CLASSIFICATION Urban and rural areas have fundamental different characteristics with regard to density of road networks,

land use, and travel patterns. Consequently, roadway types are established within a functional classification

system to reflect the diverse influences and characteristics of roads within Douglas County. The Douglas

County Engineering Division has adopted a Functional Street Classification Plan (FSCP) based on projected

traffic volumes, land use and expected growth levels. The FSCP incorporates the minimum design, technical

criteria and specifications to be used for both urban and rural roadway facilities. This FSCP is documented in

Chapter 4 of the Douglas County Roadway Design and Technical Criteria

(https://www.douglas.co.us/documents/rwd-design-and-technical-criteria.pdf.

The designated streets addressed within this TMP include those with higher volumes and capacities, while

the lower volume local street are not reflected. Table 1 identifies the TMP roadway functional classification

identified for both Urban and Rural areas.

September 2019 35 Sec V. Transportation Plan Implemen

SECTION V. TRANSPORTATION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

In order for the TMP to be effective, it must not be static. Douglas County has strived to implement long range

transportation plans and continuous roadway improvement needs. The TMP implementation plan ties directly

to the goals and objectives to ensure that the short-term and mid-term actions are helping to achieve the

long-term vision of the TMP.

Implementation of the plan will require on-going maintenance of the existing transportation system as well as

implementation of new improvements and services described in the TMP. Implementing the TMP is a long

term commitment of the County and requires a collaborative effort partnering with local agencies and

jurisdictions in order to provide a complete and reliable transportation network throughout the County.

The implementation section of the TMP includes the CIP, Funding Strategies, and a list of prioritized

transportation improvements. The recommendations in this section will help the County set its course to

achieve the vision, principles, and policies of the TMP.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) The most recent Douglas County CIP lists necessary transportation system improvements including roadway,

bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and signal system facilities to move toward achieving the transportation vision.

Funding Strategies From the 2019 Douglas County Adopted Budget the current sources of funding identified for roadway and

multimodal transportation improvements within Douglas County include:

Road & Bridge Fund As required by state law this fund is used to account for the costs associated

with the construction and maintenance of County roads and bridges. Restricted revenue sources

include property taxes and highway user fees. The County must share back with incorporated

municipalities one-half of the taxes collected on properties within the incorporated areas.

Infrastructure Fund This fund currently uses a portion of the property taxes (collected by the

General Fund) to augment funding for infrastructure within the County.

TRAVEL FORECAST MODEL VALIDATION

Page 62: 2040 DOUGLAS COUNTY TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN · multimoda The Count economy g status of t based on p planning e regional ag investmen plan is inte needed in ... document needs

TTravel Forecast Model Validation

Travel demand for the 2040 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) for Douglas County was performed using the regional DRCOG TransCAD travel demand model (FOCUS 2.1). Sub area analysis was performed for the Douglas County TMP by updating the land use input data provided by the County and agreed by DRCOG to be in line with the regional control totals. The network model inputs including roadway lane geometries and functional classifications were provided by Douglas County, and by the City of Lone Tree and the Towns of Parker and Castle Rock based on their respective transportation plans.

The subarea model base year was 2015. Traffic counts from Douglas County, DRCOG and CDOT were used in the validation process. The following validation measurements were used to quantify the validation using the traffic counts and base year model volumes:

Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT): The VMT comparison for the model was performed at the county level. Total Douglas County vehicle miles of travel from the model are compared to VMT from the traffic counts. This comparison is done for the links with traffic counts. Based on VMT, this model received a high validation. Table B-1 presents the comparison data.

Count-VMT 3,060,786 1,628,561

VMT/ Count-VMT 0.94 0.95

Screenline Comparison: The screenline validation is a comparison of model volumes and observed traffic counts along the screenlines. Screenlines are imaginary lines that extend across a series of roadway links that form a logical basis for evaluation of regional travel movements in the model. Screenlines used in the Douglas County transportation model are presented in Figure B-1. Table B-2 presents the comparison data.

G - Castle Rock Cordon 247,229 229,377 7.2%

H - South County Line 80,146 81,356 -1.5%

Overall, the screenline comparison indicates that the model is well calibrated. Most of the screenlines were less than 10% different or better between traffic counts and model volumes.

Page 64: 2040 DOUGLAS COUNTY TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN · multimoda The Count economy g status of t based on p planning e regional ag investmen plan is inte needed in ... document needs

The R-Squared value comparison of traffic counts and model volumes was 0.98. Based on model validation standards, an R-squared value greater than 0.85 is considered well calibrated.

Table B-3 presents the screenline data of 2015 traffic counts and model volumes for reference:
