No claim for additional compensation to the Offeror shall be allowed based on lack of knowledge or misunderstanding.

CHAPTER 2.0: SOLICITATION 2.1 Order of precedence.

Whenever separate Offer pages, Scope of Work, Special Provisions, Exhibits, requirements, specifications or plans are referred to or attached hereto, they shall be considered a part of this solicitation document as if contained herein. Should any of the offer pages, scope of work, special provisions, requirements, specifications or plans conflict with these Instructions to Offerors, said Offer pages, Scope of Work, Special Provisions, requirements, specifications or plans shall govern.

The City makes no representations as to the conditions which will actually be encountered by the Offeror.

Any subsurface information or hydrographic survey data furnished are for the Offeror’s convenience only. The information and data furnished are the product of the Officer-in-Charge's interpretation of the facts gathered in


investigations made at the specific locations indicated to aid in the design of the project, and the City assumes no responsibility whatsoever in respect to the sufficiency or accuracy of borings or of the log of test borings or other preliminary investigations, or of the interpretation thereof, and there is no guaranty, either expressed or implied, that the conditions indicated are representative of those existing throughout the work.

The Offeror shall be solely responsible for all assumptions, deductions, or conclusions the Offeror may make or derive from the subsurface information or data furnished.

provided that if award is based on the item or items on which offers have been submitted, the Offeror's offer may be considered for award.

(c) In case of discrepancy between prices written in words and those written

in figures, the price written in words shall govern.

of an offer. 2.6 Applicable Taxes.

Final Bus/Rail Integration Plan for the Farrington Highway Station Group Page 1Honolulu Rail Transit Project April 2014

1 Introduction1.1 Background

The Honolulu Rail Transit Project (Project) involves a 20-mile rail line locatedbetween East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center with a total of 21 stations. TheHonolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) of the City and County ofHonolulu is responsible for the design, construction, and operations of theProject. Bus will play a very important role in the transit system. The Projecttravel demand forecasting model indicates that, at some rail stations, more than70 percent of total daily riders will be connecting to or from buses.

While the June 2010 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) providedgeneral bus requirements at each station, more detailed bus/rail integration planswill help guide final design and define on-street bus facility needs at each railstation. This bus/rail integration plan will provide station designers, publicagencies, and other interested parties with guidance on the location of bus stops(both on- and off-street) near each rail station. Seamless integration of bus andrail service will help maximize the Project’s ability to meets its goals andobjectives.

1.2 Purpose of Bus/Rail Integration PlansBus/rail integration plans are being prepared for each station design group—West O‘ahu, Farrington Highway, Kamehameha Highway, Airport, Dillingham,and Kaka‘ako—plus a separate plan of Ala Moana Center Station. Theseintegration plans are intended to provide information on bus access, including on-and off-street facilities as well as service characteristics of routes serving thestations. Key information items include:

Delineation of on- and off-street bus facilities in each station area, includingtypes of stops (e.g., single or multiple bus bays).

Guidance and background information to HART, the Department of Trans-portation Services (DTS) of the City and County of Honolulu, and otherinterested parties for development and coordination of on-street stops.

Guidance to DTS and O‘ahu Transit Services (OTS) for operations planningof bus routes serving Project stations.

1.3 Basis for Bus/Rail Integration PlansKey steps for preparing bus/rail integration plans include the following:

Confirm the bus service plans serving each rail station, including operationswhich reflect the roadway systems that are expected to be in place duringeach phase of Project implementation. These bus service plans were initially

Page 2 Final Bus/Rail Integration Plan for the Farrington Highway Station GroupApril 2014 Honolulu Rail Transit Project

developed and refined as part of the Project Final EIS, and provide a majorbasis for each bus/rail integration plan.

Review information from the Station Access and Modal Interface Report(August 2011), which provided recommendations for phasing of bus/railintegration elements and other items.

Prepare base maps showing the road network in station areas and thelocation of station entrances, bicycle parking, and, for some stations, park-and-ride facilities.

Develop tables showing bus volumes by route during peak-demand periods ateach station, including bus volumes under each Project phase.

Identify bus facilities based on future bus and roadway networks in eachstation area as well as estimated bus and passenger volumes.

Confirm bicycle parking facilities at each station; initial estimates are identifiedin the Station Access and Modal Interface Report (August 2011).

Review bus/rail facilities with general engineering contract (GEC) designersprior to submittal of bus/rail integration plans for HART review.

Review bus/rail facilities and service assumptions with HART and DTS priorto submittal of bus/rail integration plans.

1.4 Contents of Bus/Rail Integration PlansThe information in this report addresses bus/rail integration items through 2030.Recommendations are presented for Project implementation phasing in 2017,2019, and beyond.

The focus of the bus/rail integration plans for each station is a set of recom-mended bus-related facilities as well as facilities to serve other modes. Theintegration plans also provide supporting information for these facilities, includingexpected route-specific bus volumes at each station. The following items areincluded in each bus/rail integration plan:

Location of bus stops at each station, both on-street and, in some cases, atoff-street transit centers.

Assignment of bus routes to reflect the alignments and passenger volumes ofeach route serving project stations, as well as characteristics of roadwayfacilities.

Size and operational characteristics of bus stops that reflect the types ofbuses expected to be assigned to routes serving Project stations.

Location of stops for TheHandi-Van vehicles.


Locations in station areas for wayfinding signage to provide directions forthose riders transferring between bus and rail.

Location and number of spaces for bicycle parking.

The above items relating to bus/rail integration were defined in a manner that willmaximize passenger convenience as much as possible, including distancesbetween bus stops and station entrances. The location and designcharacteristics of bus stops and connections between these stops and stationentrances will need to comply with requirements of the Americans withDisabilities Act (ADA).

1.5 Monitoring of Factors Affecting Bus/Rail IntegrationPlansBus facility needs at rail stations reflect several factors, such as travel demandforecasts, roadway and land use plans, relevant policies, and any specialcircumstances, including how access will be affected by changing land use andrelated roadway networks in station areas. Any updates to the project travelforecasting model update may affect estimates for demand for transit and relatedaccess mode splits (i.e., the percent of daily demand reaching Project stations bywalk/bike, bus, park-and-ride, or kiss-and-ride). Any changes in user demand atthe stations, as well as changes in access mode split, may affect the estimatesfor bus facility needs; ultimately, this depends on how great the changes are fromthe previous forecast.

HART will also monitor changes to transit-oriented development, land use andstreet networks in station areas, including amendments, revisions, and updatesto transit-oriented development (TOD) and other master plans for communitieslocated in these areas as they pertain to bus/rail integration and Project facilityneeds.

1.6 Direction for Planning and Design of Bus IntermodalFacilitiesThere are several considerations that guide planning and design features for busfacilities at Project stations. This direction includes guidance provided in Chapter6, Section 2 and Section 4 of the Compendium of Design Criteria for the Project.Appendix A of this report includes text from these sections.


Other key considerations affecting bus and other access modes to Project stationinclude:

Street crossings should be as minimal as possible for on-street bus stops.

Bus stops located at both on- and off-street facilities will be sited based uponestimated route-specific ridership levels—routes with higher rider demand willhave stops that are as close as possible to station entrances.

Characteristics of bus stops located at both on- and off-street facilities will bebased upon operating features of routes and buses serving them:

Platooned stops accommodate multiple bus arrivals where buses departthe stop in the order in which they arrive.

Timed1 arrival stops with sufficient room to allow arriving buses to maneu-ver around vehicles that are already stopped.

Single dedicated stops where only one bus is expected to use the stop atany given time.

Layover stops to accommodate buses that terminate at or nearby the railstation but not in a stop being used for passenger loading.

Stop lengths to recognize various sizes of buses: 30-foot, 35-foot, 40-foot,45-foot, and 60-foot (the bus operating plans for each station identifymaximum bus sizes for each route).

Any design and construction associated with on-street bus stops, includinginstallation of concrete bus pads, will be under a separate contract from thecurrent (October 2013) contracts for modular station design.

1.7 Direction for Planning and Design of Non-BusIntermodal FacilitiesThere are several considerations that guide planning and design features forother access facilities at Project stations. This direction includes access modeelements as provided in Chapter 6, Section 4 of the Compendium of DesignCriteria for the Project. Appendix A of this report includes text from thesesections. This direction applies to all stations and will be recognized in thebus/rail integration plans for each station design group. The Compendium ofDesign Criteria establishes consistent engineering direction based upon the mostrecent applicable codes and standards.

1 Timed bus routes involve operations that are scheduled to depart simultaneously. To achieve these coordinateddepartures, the affected bus routes have to wait for the arrival of other routes. This need requires bus stop facilities tohave sufficient capacity to meet these coordination needs.


Other key considerations affecting other access modes to Project stationsinclude:

If possible, space for TheHandi-Van should be provided at an off-street facilityeven if TheBus access is provided only at on-street stops. For AMC Station,limitations regarding off-street parking availability results in TheHandi-Vanspaces being provided on-street.

The Station Access and Modal Interface Report includes information onbicycle parking at Project stations. As a general guide, the bicycle parkingshould provide a minimum of one percent of total daily demand at a railstation or 20 spaces, whichever is greater, over the long-term (2030). For theProject opening in 2019, a minimum of 20 spaces should be provided.

Parking areas for bicycles should be as close as possible to stationentrance(s) and overflow areas should be identified whenever additionalspace is available.


2 Bus/Rail Integration Plan Overview for the Farrington Highway Station GroupThe recommended bus facilities at each station in the Farrington Highway StationGroup (FHSG) reflect the planned bus network that will support the Project.Characteristics of this bus network were used by the travel forecasting model forthe Project FEIS. In the bus/rail integration report for the FHSG, information onthe bus network is provided for 2030. However, to reflect Project phasing andother factors affecting service implementation, bus route information is presentedfor other time horizons: 2017 (interim Project opening between East Kapolei andAloha Stadium) and 2019 (the full Project opening between East Kapolei and AlaMoana).

2.1 Factors Affecting the FHSG Bus/Rail Integration PlanThere are several factors which affect the recommended bus-related facilities forFHSG stations. For example, the plans reflect previous efforts at estimatingpotential access needs at Project stations. The Station Access and ModalInterface Report identified key access-related characteristics of station areas,including the following:

Scale and type of current and potential future land uses

Current and future non-motorized access features, such as sidewalk condi-tions and bicycle paths and lanes

Natural and human-produced site constraints, as well as other barriers tostation access

Bus routes, including future service connecting to rail stations and estimatedpassenger volumes at bus stops where passengers will transfer between busand rail (Table 2-1)

Estimated daily station passenger demand by mode of access as identified bytravel forecasting model results

The daily number of passengers using the bus stops serving the West Loch andWaipahu Transit Center Stations has been estimated for both boarding andalighting riders for 2030 (Leeward Community College Station will not have busstops). Table 2-1 summarizes the data by route. While many passengers willconnect with rail service, some will be traveling to nearby destinations and otherswill transfer between buses to complete their trip. This is especially true for thoseriders using bus routes connecting at West Loch and Waipahu Transit CenterStations. These stations will have transit centers that are designed to allow timedconnections between routes.

Reviewing the combined passenger volumes for the bus stops helps identify theneed for bus stop characteristics and amenities such as passenger shelters,waiting space dimensions, and signage.

Travel forecasting model results also provided direction for determining bus andother access requirements at stations. Table 2-2 provides an overview ofestimated daily number of passengers accessing the FHSG stations in 2030 bymode. Local bus access is the dominant mode except at the LeewardCommunity College Station, where pedestrian access is expected topredominate. Access to the West Loch Station will be primarily by bus withapproximately 4,000 passengers or 76 percent of daily demand at the station.The extent of local bus access to the Waipahu Transit Center Station iscomparable to West Loch, with 73 percent of the rail passengers arriving by bus.

The “Other” access mode shows the estimated number of rail passengers whomay park their vehicles near the station, either using on-street spaces or in off-street lots which are not associated with the Project. The nearest station with apark-and-ride facility is Pearl Highlands, although the city does operate a smallpark-and-ride facility at Royal Kunia. Facilities identified in the integration plan forthe FHSG will support transfers among bus routes. Transfers between buses areeasily accommodated at the existing on-street Waipahu Transit Center locatedon Hikimoe Street.

The bus/rail integration plans reflect the Final EIS preliminary engineering,module concept station design efforts (Spring 2012), and best estimates ofcapacity needs for bus service and other access modes. These integration planswill be updated as necessary. The plans also consider the bus/rail integrationneeds with respect to construction phasing scenarios.

2.2 Characteristics of FHSG Station AreasThe West Loch Station will be located on Farrington Highway just Koko Head ofLeo‘ole and Leok Streets. Land use in the vicinity of West Loch Station consistsof a mix of residential and commercial development with residential beingprimarily located mauka of Farrington Highway and the commercial alongFarrington Highway and makai of the highway. Station entrances will be locatedon both sides of the highway and connected with a pedestrian concourse. TheWest Loch Station will serve as the primary access to rail for the ‘Ewa Beach andWest Loch neighborhoods located makai. The Station will also serve as theprimary access to rail for Village Park, Royal Kunia, and West Waipahu.

The Waipahu Transit Center Station will be located on Farrington Highway just‘Ewa of Mokuola Street. Stations entrances will be located on both sides of thehighway and connected with a pedestrian concourse. The station area includescommercial, light industrial and residential land uses. The mauka stationentrance will be adjacent to the heavily used Waipahu Transit Center located onHikimoe Street. Waipahu Transit Center Station will be the primary railconnection for the neighborhoods of Waikele, Waipi o and East Waipahu.

The Leeward Community College Station will have a single entrance located onthe mauka edge of the campus. Access to the rail station platform will be via abelow-grade pedestrian passage. Leeward Community College is the principalland use within the station area; students and faculty will comprise the majority ofdemand. There is an existing multi-family residential complex located Koko Headof the campus that could benefit from the proximity to the rail station. InterstateH-1, Farrington Highway, and Waiawa Interchange isolate the campus from theWaipahu and Pearl City neighborhoods. Waiawa Road provides the onlyroadway access to the station and campus (to/from Farrington Highway).

Future access at the FHSG station will also be affected by potential land use andnetwork changes. Land use in the West Loch and Waipahu Transit Center


Station areas is expected to become denser and more transit-oriented as variouselements of the Waipahu Neighborhood Transit Development Plan come tofruition over the long term. Future land use changes in the Leeward CommunityCollege Station area may include additional residential and institutionaldevelopment.

The Pearl Harbor Bike Path is located about 1/3 mile makai of the FarringtonHighway Station Group. Although access to the path from Leeward CommunityCollege is currently not provided, it could become available with the addition of asecond access road (identified in the TOD plan for Leeward Community College).This second access road would connect the LCC campus to Waipi‘o AccessRoad.


3 Bus Networks Serving FHSG StationsThis section describes both the current and planned bus route networks servingthe Farrington Highway Station Group (FHSG). The FHSG includes two stationsin Waipahu, a mature suburban neighborhood with a high concentration of transitriders, and one station at Leeward Community College on the border of Waipahuand Pearl City. Waipahu has a high level of bus service well utilized by localresidents. Leeward Community College, currently served by one bus route(Route 73), is isolated from the adjacent residential communities of Waipahu andPearl City, with just one access road that often becomes congested when schoolis in session.

Future bus services in ‘Ewa Beach and Waipahu will be oriented towards theWest Loch and Waipahu Transit Center rail stations. Services will continue tooperate on clocked headways (or consistent departure times) allowingcommunity circulation. New community circulator routes will connect Waipahuwith Kapolei and other planned development on the ‘Ewa Plain. Buses will alsoconnect Waipahu with Royal Kunia and Mililani via Waipi o.

3.1 Current Bus Network in FHSG Station AreasCurrent bus operations in the vicinity of the West Loch and Waipahu TransitCenter Stations are composed of rapid bus, suburban trunk, and communitycirculators providing all day service seven days a week. Leeward CommunityCollege is served by one suburban feeder route operating on weekdays only withservice ending before 6:00 PM (Route 73).

Bus routes currently providing service to the three stations are shown inTable 3-1. The routes directly serve the station areas or are within one block ofthe West Loch and Waipahu Transit Center station entrances. Routes A, 40, 42and 62 serve Leeward CC from stops on Farrington Highway, about one-thirdmile from the campus. Route 73 directly serves the Campus.

Waipahu is currently served by three community circulator routes that accessresidential and commercial areas of Waipahu and Waipi o. These routes (432,433 and 434) meet rapid bus and suburban trunk routes at both West Loch andWaipahu Transit Center Stations. In the future, passengers will be able totransfer to rail service at these two locations.

3.2 Planned Bus Network in FHSG Station AreasThe future bus route network for FHSG stations has been developed to com-plement the Project’s phased implementation, with the initial phase (East Kapoleito Aloha Stadium) opening in 2017. Changes to current routes will beaccomplished to match those openings. In most cases, these changes will notoccur until the full rail system is operational in 2019.

The bus network identifies service features, including bus access at stations forthe year 2030, the planning horizon year in the Project FEIS. Figure 3-1 showsthe future bus network that will be serving stations in the FHSG. The estimatedvolume of peak-hour bus trips at each station reflects the estimated demand forbus services as identified in the travel demand forecasting model. Accordingly,design characteristics of bus facilities at stations also should reflect the 2030 busnetwork.

Table 3-2 identifies phasing of bus service for the FHSG. More detailed busservice information is provided under each station discussion. Since some routeswill be phased over time, not all bus-related facilities need to be in place for theinitial phase of the HRTP. Leeward Community College will not have direct busservice. Also, the nearest bus service to the LCC campus will be provided byRoute 40 on Farrington Highway at Waiawa Road. More detailed bus serviceinformation for each FHSG station is included in Section 4.

Table 3-3 identifies service characteristics of each route in 2030. Waipahu has ahigh frequency of bus service and a large transit-captive market. Currently, 11fixed routes offer limited-stop, local, commuter express and community circulatorservices. CityExpress! Route A has its terminus at Leok Street and FarringtonHighway. This is a limited-stop service providing connections to downtownHonolulu and the University of Hawaii at M noa seven days a week.CountryExpress! Route E connects ‘Ewa Beach with downtown Honolulu,providing service in Waipahu.

Local bus service currently serving Waipahu Transit Center Station includesRoutes 40, 42, 43 and 44 connecting Waipahu with other regions. Waipahu isserved by a set of community circulator routes—432, 433 and 434. Theseoperate within Waipahu and run via the existing on-street bus transit center alongHikimoe Street. Waipahu is served by three peak-period, peak-direction expressservices. Two of these, Routes W1 and W2 provide express services to Waikiki,seven days a week. The third peak express, Route 81, serves downtownHonolulu.

With the implementation of rail, existing local routes are either discontinued orreclassified as a feeder service where the local routes serve the same alignmentas the fixed guideway. The exception is for routes deemed essential to providelocal bus service along the guideway alignment (e.g., Route 40). Peak-period,peak-direction express bus routes operating along the guideway alignment willbe discontinued and community circulator routes will be reoriented and extendedto serve the rail stations.

3.3 Bus Route Changes from FEISBus operations are constantly changing to reflect passenger demand, land usechanges and roadway improvements or changes. Project assumptions havechanged which also may impact bus feeder and connection services. A numberof these changes have occurred for the FHSG stations since the Project FEISwas published.

The two changes are shown in Table 3-4. Routes 40 and 422 will have alignmentchanges to serve rail stations. Route 40 will serve the University of Hawai‘i West

ahu Station while Route 422 will operate on internal Ho opili developmentroads to serve the Ho opili Station. Two other changes will occur that are notshown in the table. New Routes 421 and 422 are intended to serve newdevelopments. Therefore, these routes will not be implemented in 2019. They areexpected to be in service by 2025.

4 Recommended Bus Facilities at FHSG StationsThe following sections describe the recommended facilities for bus/rail integrationat the FHSG stations. The extent of planned bus access at the West Loch,Waipahu Transit Center, and Leeward Community College Stations indicates theimportance of providing convenient rail/bus integration at these locations. Whilestation design features may have changed from those identified in the StationAccess and Modal Interface Report prepared in 2011, the extent of access byvarious modes is still the same.

The recommended bus facilities at each station in the FHSG reflect the busnetwork that will support the HRTP. Characteristics of this bus network havebeen incorporated in the travel forecasting model used in the FEIS for the HRTP.The integration plans presented in the following sections are phased to recognizethe partial and full opening phases of the HRTP. However, all design featuresconcerning bus access ultimately address long-term needs. For each FHSGstation, this report provides tables that identify needs for bus and other accessmodes in the year 2030.

Changes to land use and streets can affect bus access in FHSG station areas.HART will monitor changes to land use and streets in the FHSG station areas,including amendments, revisions, and updates to the Waipahu NeighborhoodTOD Plan and Leeward Community College Long Range Development Plan asthey pertain to bus/rail integration and Project facility needs. Additionally, HARTwill keep track of any changes in the overall state land use designation of theFHSG station areas.

4.1 West Loch StationWest Loch Station will attract passengers not only from adjacent residentialareas, but from communities not within walking distance, including ‘Ewa Beachand Royal Kunia. This station will not have park-and-ride facilities; however, asmall kiss-and-ride lot will be provided. Accommodating bus service will becritical in assuring projected ridership levels.

The West Loch Station site is bounded by Farrington Highway, Leo‘ole Street,and Leonui Street. To the west, Fort Weaver Road and Kunia Road providecrucial mauka-makai accessibility to/from the H-1 Freeway and the West LochStation. Farrington Highway—a major arterial that runs east-west through thecenter of Waipahu—provides regional and sub-regional access in the West LochStation area. Farrington Highway is divided with four lanes in the vicinity of theProject, with intersections that are generally signalized and have protected leftturns.


4.1.1 Bus Services

There are 10 current bus routes in close proximity to the West Loch Station siteincluding several that terminate in the area and others that provide trunk servicesalong Farrington Highway. The current bus system will be rerouted andenhanced with community circulators that will connect the ‘Ewa and Waipahucommunities with West Loch Station as previously shown in Figure 3-1. Someroutes will be truncated or discontinued since they would duplicate major portionsof the rail service. Discontinued service will include Routes E, 43, 81 and W1.Current Route 44 will be replaced with service on Routes 42, 415 and 421.

Table 4-1 presents the bus routes that will serve the West Loch Station in 2017(interim opening), 2019 (full opening), and 2030; the routes reflect the busnetwork identified above for the FHSG. The table shows the routes, direction,and maximum number of buses serving the station in the peak hour. In additionto accessing the rail station, the bus routes identified in Table 4-1 will servecommercial and residential developments that are either being planned or underconstruction at this time. They will therefore enter service only when demandwarrants. Bus services increase from 28 buses today to 45 bus trips in the peakhour in 2030 to serve the station. Community circulators will operate onenhanced schedules to provide convenient access to the fixed guidewayespecially during the peak periods.The following bus routes are expected to serve the West Loch Station in 2030(new routes and changes to existing routes are noted):

Route 40 Honolulu/M kaha (EB/WB)—No major alignment changes areplanned for the route in the vicinity of West Loch Station. The route isexpected to operate with 15- minute intervals in the peak periods between theWaipahu Transit Center station and Wai‘anae with twenty minute middayservice. The route will operate 20-minute service between Waipahu TC anddowntown Honolulu.

Route 42 ‘Ewa Beach (NB/SB)—Route 42 will be modified to operatebetween ‘Ewa Beach and Waipahu only. This change is expected to occurwith the full system opening in 2019. It will no longer connect ‘Ewa Beach toWaik except when the rail system is closed such as in the late eveninghours (12:00 AM to 4:00 AM). The route will provide 10-minute service in thepeak and thirty minute service in the off-peak periods.

Route 98A Kunia Village/Royal Kunia/Waipahu (NB/SB)—This route willbe modified to connect Kunia, Royal Kunia, and Village Park with the Stationproviding peak period, peak direction service during the weekdays.

Route 421 Ho‘opili/UH West O‘ahu/East Kapolei (EB/WB)—This newroute, expected to enter service in 2025, will connect Waipahu and Ho‘opiliwith ‘Ewa. Implementation of this route may occur earlier.

Route 422 Ho‘opili/East Kapolei (EB/WB)—This new route, expected toenter service in 2025, will connect Waipahu and Ho‘opili. Implementation ofthis route may also occur earlier.

Route 432 East-West Waipahu (EB/WB)—This route connects East andWest Waipahu and will be modified to serve the new rail station.

Route 434 Village Park/Royal Kunia (NB/SB)—This route will be modifiedto serve new development in Royal Kunia connecting with Village Park andWaipahu. New service is depicted in Figure 3-1 as the large upper loop. Theroute alignment may be modified when service is implemented to providemore direct residential coverage.


4.1.2 Bus/Rail Integration Features

The bus/rail integration plan for the West Loch bus/rail integration plan consistsof two phases:

1. For the 2017 interim Project opening, two stops will be located oneastbound Farrington Highway and one stop on westbound FarringtonHighway. Also, two stops will be provided for buses at an off-street transitcenter. Two other off-street locations will served kiss-and-ride demand aswell as TheHandi-Van and private shuttles.

2. For the full 2019 opening, two additional off-street bus stops will beprovided to accommodate the planned added bus service that will accessthe West Loch Station.

The 14 bus routes listed in Table 4-1 will generate a maximum of 45 bus tripsduring the peak hour by the year 2030. The routes and their operatingcharacteristics will change in response to how the rail system will andsurrounding land uses in the area develop. This includes buses serving on-streetstops adjacent to the station on Farrington Highway and the off-street transitcenter that will be included in the station design.With the bus service characteristics identified for each route, bus-related facilitiescan be defined for the West Loch Station. Table 4-2 identifies the bus routes, thebus stop description and type, and the operational characteristics of the routes,including maximum vehicle size and peak and base period buses per hour for the2017 interim Project opening. Table 4-3 provides comparable information for the2019/2030. The tables also show typical dwell time or duration the bus willremain at the stop.

The approximate walk distance to the station entrance along with the number ofstreets and lanes that the intending passenger would cross are also provided inthe tables. The tables also show typical dwell time or duration the bus will remainat the stop.

The column “Bus Stop” relates to the stop numbers shown in Figure 4-1 andFigure 4-2. Stops identified with an “S” such as S1 are on-street bus stops.Those listed as “TC” are stops located within the transit center. The bus stop typeincludes the position of the stop, such as nearside (before an intersection) orfarside (after passing through an intersection), platooned stop for multiple busarrivals where buses depart the stop in the order in which they arrive, or singlededicated stop (where only one bus is expected to use the stop at any giventime). The term “bus bay” generally refers to either a bus pull-out if an on-streetstop or a saw-tooth designed stop within an off-street transit center. The term“linear bus berth” generally refers to a straight curb.

Bus Facilities 2017

The recommended features of the 2017 West Loch bus/rail integration plan areshown on Figure 4-1 and detailed in Table 4-2. The main difference between the2017 interim plan and the 2019-2030 full opening plan (discussed in the nextsection) is that fewer bus positions will be needed at the off-street transit centerin 2017. Route 98A to Royal Kunia, for example, will not enter service until 2019,while Routes 421 and 422 serving Ho‘opili and the ‘Ewa Plain are not expectedto enter service until 2025. Facilities at West Loch Station in 2017 include:

A bus transit center adjacent to the station entrance to accommodate two in-service vehicles (TC2 and TC4 will each serve two routes).

A kiss-and-ride lot accessible through Leo‘ole Street accommodating a taxiloading zone, kiss-and-ride drop off, private shuttle loading and unloading,and a TheHandi-Van position.

An existing on-street linear platooned bus berth on westbound FarringtonHighway in front of mauka station entrance.

An existing on-street linear platooned bus bay on eastbound FarringtonHighway in front of the makai station entrance.

A restored existing linear single bus berth on eastbound Farrington Highway.

Wayfinding signs within the station (particularly at the concourse level) andnear the station entrances directing passengers to the various busconnections

Bus Facilities 2019–2030

The recommended features of the 2019–2030 West Loch bus/rail integration planare shown on Figure 4-2 and detailed in Table 4-3. The West Loch Station willinclude additional facilities for the full Project opening in 2019 impacting busconnections. These include:

A bus transit center adjacent to the station entrance to accommodate four in-service vehicles.

A kiss-and-ride lot accessible through Leo‘ole Street accommodating a taxiloading zone, kiss-and-ride drop off, private shuttle loading and unloading,and a TheHandi-Van position.

An existing on-street linear platooned bus berth on westbound FarringtonHighway in front of mauka station entrance.

An existing on-street linear platooned bus bay on eastbound FarringtonHighway in front of the makai station entrance.

A restored existing linear single bus berth on eastbound Farrington Highway.


Wayfinding signs within the station (particularly at the concourse level) andnear the station entrances directing passengers to the various busconnections

The daily number of passengers using the bus stops serving the West LochStation has been estimated for both boarding and alighting passengers at theidentified bus stop for each route (Table 4-3). The route activity has been splitbetween inbound and outbound bus stops and rounded. The majority of thesepassengers are connecting with rail; however, some passengers are connectingwith nearby destinations or are transferring between buses. Estimates are basedon the 2030 travel forecasting model results, with bus stops identified as nodes inthe network.

Additional recommended features include the following:

A concrete pad for the restored stop at S3.

A dedicated TheHandi-Van position will be located within the kiss-and-ride lotnear the makai station entrance (TC6)

Bicycle parking will be provided for at least 20 bicycles divided between themakai and mauka station entrance with the ability to accommodate up to 50bicycles.

Wayfinding signs within the station (particularly at the concourse level)directing passengers to their desired bus connection.

4.1.3 Integration of Other Modes

Table 4-4 identifies the vehicle parking requirements for other modes at the WestLoch Station. Pedestrians and bicyclists accessing West Loch Station willcomprise of 670 riders or 13 percent of total daily station demand at the station.The bus transit center and kiss-and-ride lot are designed to minimize walkdistances to and from the station entrances. Bicycle racks will be dividedbetween the mauka and makai station entrance and accommodate 20 bicycles in2017 with space reserved for 50 spaces in 2030.

A new crosswalk and curb ramp is recommended across the entrance into thebus transit center driveway from Farrington Highway eastbound. This pedestriancrossing is especially important because it connects bus stop S3 (Route 40 toAla Moana) with the makai station entrance. To accommodate pedestrian andbicycle access, improvements to existing sidewalks and miscellaneousenhancements to the pedestrian environment in the station area may benecessary, particularly along Farrington Highway.

4.2 Waipahu Transit Center StationLike West Loch Station, Waipahu Transit Center is considered an origin stationbecause it will attract passengers from not only close proximity residential areas,but from communities much further away. Since this station will not have park-and-ride facilities and land use densities will likely continue to remain low in thenear-to-medium term. Accommodating other access modes, particularly local busservice, will be critical in assuring projected ridership levels.

4.2.1 Bus Services

Table 4-5 presents the bus routes that will serve the Waipahu Transit CenterStation in 2017 (interim opening), 2019 (full opening), and 2030.

The following bus routes, shown previously in Figure 3-1, are expected to serveWaipahu Transit Center in 2030 (new routes and changes to existing routes arenoted):

Route 40 Honolulu/M kaha (EB/WB)—No major alignment changes areplanned for the route in Waipahu. The route is expected to operate with 15-minute intervals in the peak periods between the Waipahu Transit Centerstation and Wai‘anae with 20-minute midday service. The route will operate20-minute service between Waipahu Transit Center and Ala Moana.

Route 42 ‘Ewa Beach (NB/SB)—Route 42 will be modified to operatebetween ‘Ewa Beach and Waipahu only, terminating at the Waipahu TransitCenter. This change is expected to occur with the full system opening in2019. It will no longer connect ‘Ewa Beach to Waik except when the railsystem is closed such as in the late evening hours (12:00 AM to 4:00 AM).The route will provide 10-minute service in the peak and 30-minute service inthe off-peak periods.

Route 50 Mililani/Koa Ridge/Waipi o/Waikele/Waipahu (NB/SB)—This newroute will connect Mililani to Waipahu TC providing service for the new KoaRidge development, continuing through Waipi o and Waikele.


Route 432 East-West Waipahu (EB/WB)—This route connects East andWest Waipahu and will be modified to serve the new West Loch TransitCenter on its western terminus, otherwise no other alignment changes areplanned.

Route 433 Waipi o/Waipahu (NB/SB)—This route will be extended from itscurrent terminus in Waipi o to the Koa Ridge Transit Hub.


The mauka station entrance for the Waipahu Transit Center Station is adjacent tothe current Waipahu Transit Center on Hikimoe Street. This will allow buspassengers to conveniently access the rail station without a major change to theexisting layout and orientation of the existing facility.

With the bus characteristics identified for each route, bus-related facilities can bedefined for the Waipahu Transit Center Station. Table 4-6 shows the bus routes,the bus stop description and type, and the operational characteristics of theroutes, including maximum vehicle size, as well as peak and base period busesper hour for year 2017. Similar information for 2019/2030 operations is providedin Table 4-7. The tables also shows typical dwell time or duration the bus willremain at the stop. Typical stop duration is a factor to consider in designating thetypes of stops. The column “Bus Stop” relates to the stop numbers shown inFigure 4-3 and Figure 4-4. The bus stop type is “dedicated” which means thateach route serving the station will have a designated position on Hikimoe Streetat any given time.

Figure 4-3: Waipahu Transit Center Station TheBus and TheHandi-Van Layout—2017


Figure 4-4: Waipahu Transit Center Station TheBus and TheHandi-Van Layout—2019 through 2030


Bus Facilities 2017

Figure 4-4 presented the year 2017 interim Project opening for on-street TheBusand TheHandi-Van requirements. More detailed information on theserequirements were previously identified in Table 4-6. TheBus and TheHandi-Vanstops are color coordinated to show which routes are expected to use each stop.For example, stop TC2 serving the mauka station entrance is shown with purplemarking. The purple is identified as the Route 433 in the figure legend.

Several considerations should be noted relating to the location and features ofon-street bus stops in the year 2017. These considerations are:

The existing bus transit center on Hikimoe Street will be readapted for use bythe feeder and trunk routes previously listed in Table 4-6; stops will be locatednear existing shelters where possible.

Up to eight in-service buses will be accommodated, with some service beingdiscontinued by 2019 to be replaced by other service.

The existing farside stop on Farrington Highway EB opposite Mokuola Streetwill be preserved for use by Routes 40, 42, 432, 433, and W1.

A short term kiss-and-ride parking area and taxi loading zone will be locatedon Moloalo Street on the mauka side of Farrington Highway.

A new crosswalk and curb ramp will cross Moloalo Street.

TheHandi-Van will stop on-street at TC7 adjacent the main station entrance.

Parking will be provided for at least 20 bicycles divided between both stationentrances with the ability to accommodate up to 30 bicycles in 2030.

Wayfinding signs within the station (particularly at the concourse level) andnear the station entrance directing passengers to bus connections in the bustransit center on Hikimoe Street and elsewhere on-street.

Bus stop duration will vary throughout the day; more time will be required inthe peak periods when passenger activity is heaviest. Wheelchair operationswill add to the typical stop duration time.

All single TheBus stops will accommodate a 60-foot vehicle.

Bus Facilities 2019–2030

The recommended bus features of the 2019 to 2030 Waipahu Transit Centerbus/rail integration plan are shown in Figure 4-4 and previously detailed inTable 4-7. Information in the figure and table show that there is an increase incommunity circulator bus routes serving the station. The route activity has beensplit between inbound and outbound bus stops and rounded. The majority ofthese passengers are connecting with rail; however, some passengers areconnecting with nearby destinations or are transferring between buses.


Estimates are based on the 2030 travel forecasting model results, with bus stopsidentified as nodes in the network.

Several considerations should be noted relating to the location and features ofon-street bus stops in the years 2019 through 2030. These considerations are:

The existing bus transit center on Hikimoe Street will be continue toreadapted for use by the feeder and trunk routes previously listed inTable 4-7; stops will be located near existing shelters where possible.

Up to eight in-service buses will be accommodated.

The existing farside stop on Farrington Highway EB opposite Mokuola Streetwill be preserved for use by Routes 40, 432, and 433.

A short term kiss-and-ride parking area and taxi loading zone will be locatedon Moloalo Street on the mauka side of Farrington Highway.

A new crosswalk and curb ramp will cross Moloalo Street.

TheHandi-Van will stop on-street at TC7 adjacent the main station entrance.

Parking will be provided for at least 20 bicycles divided between both stationentrances with the ability to accommodate up to 30 bicycles in 2030.

Wayfinding signs within the station (particularly at the concourse level) andnear the station entrance directing passengers to the bus transit center onHikimoe Street and other on-street connections.

Bus stop duration will vary throughout the day; more time will be required inthe peak periods when passenger activity is heaviest. Wheelchair operationswill add to the typical stop duration time.

All single TheBus stops will accommodate a 60-foot vehicle.


Table 4-8 shows the estimated vehicle parking requirements at the WaipahuTransit Center Station. Estimated pedestrian and bicycle demand at the stationwill be approximately 550 riders or 18 percent of total daily demand. The transitcenter and kiss-and-ride lot will minimize much of the walk distance by thosetransferring to/from buses and those being dropped off at the station. Bicycleracks will be divided between the mauka and makai station entrances andaccommodate 20 bicycles in 2017 with space reserved for 30 spaces in 2030. Anew crosswalk and curb ramp is recommended across Moloalo Street mauka ofFarrington Highway, adjacent to the taxi loading zone and short-term kiss-and-ride parking area.

New crosswalks are recommended on Hikimoe Street and Farrington Highway inthe vicinity of the station to improve pedestrian access to the station and promotepedestrian safety. Station access to/from the makai side of Farrington Highway isin need of particular attention.

Although not included in any station or guideway construction contract, a fence inthe Farrington Highway median would help prevent illegal pedestrian crossingsto/from the Moloalo Street entrance. A new crosswalk on the eastboundapproach to the Mokolua Street intersection would also enhance pedestrianaccess and safety to/from the makai side.

4.3 Leeward Community College StationAlmost all of rail passengers are expected to access the LCC Station by walk orbike. The station will have a center platform accessible from an undergroundgallery/walkway connecting to a single entrance within an existing LCC parkinglot located on the makai side of the guideway.

The LCC Station will be located makai of Farrington Highway on the mauka sideof the LCC campus. The established street network will make it difficult to accessthe station from nearby residential areas. For those accessing the station fromLCC, the planned public plaza near the station entrance will provide a pedestrianlink that will include bicycle parking facilities.

4.3.1 Bus Services

At the time of the station opening, bus routes will not be serving the LCC Stationdirectly. Route 73 currently serves the LCC campus; however, this portion of theroute is expected to cease service with the completion of the first constructionphase in 2017. Other bus routes will provide service from Farrington Highway,but they will require a 1/2-mile walk between the bus stop and rail stationentrance.


The following bus routes are expected to serve the LCC station area indirectlyfrom Farrington Highway:

Route 40 Honolulu/M kaha—No major alignment changes are planned forthe route nearby LCC. The route is expected to operate with 20-minuteintervals in the peak and mid-day periods providing access to LCC fromFarrington Highway.

Route 51 Wahiawa—Route 51 is a modified and renamed current Route 62.Route 51 will operate from the Wahiawa Transit Center near California andCane via California to Kamehameha Highway terminating at Aloha Stadium,serving LCC from Farrington Highway. The route will provide 15-minuteservice in the peak and midday periods.


The features of the Leeward Community College bus/rail integration plan includethe following items as shown in Figure 4-5:

Loading zone for the TheHandi-Van located adjacent to the walkway to thestation entrance. A curb ramp will be provided connecting TheHandi-Vanzone to this walkway

A kiss-and-ride loading zone adjacent to the zone for TheHandi-Van.

Bicycle parking for at least 20 bikes at the station entrance with the ability toexpand

To support pedestrian movements between the station entrance and LCC, thestation design should include transition zones that connect the existing campusparking lot and the station loading platform. Also, connections between thestation and campus can be supported through a wayfinding system that guidespatrons between the station entrance and various points of interest on the LCCcampus.


Pedestrians and bicyclists accessing the station will comprise approximately2,850 riders or about 90 percent of total daily demand in 2030. The station willsee substantial demand coincide with campus activities, such as classes, specialevents, and the academic calendar. Bike racks should accommodate 20 bicyclesin 2017 with space for 30 bicycles by 2030.


Figure 4-5: Leeward Community College Station Site Layout—2019 through 2030


4.4 Pedestrian Connections at FHSG StationsAlthough the siting of on-street bus stops are not included in the ProjectCompendium of Design Criteria, a key objective of the bus/rail integration plansis to locate on-street bus stops as close as possible to station entrances. Notethat bus stops for high-ridership routes are generally placed closer to stationentrances than lower-ridership routes. At some FHSG stations, however, thewalk distances between on-street bus stops and the station entrance could be upto almost 300 feet. These distances and the locations of bus stops in relation torail station entrances could result in some uncertainty on the part of thosetransferring between trains and buses. This will be particularly relevant for thoseriders transferring from rail to bus.

To address potential issues relating to pedestrian access between on-street busstops and station entrances, a wayfinding signage system should be installed.The location, design, and other features of this signage should be developedjointly by HART, DTS, and other interested parties as appropriate. Developmentof the wayfinding system could occur as part of the protocols to be establishedbetween HART, DTS, OTS and potentially other stakeholders. These protocolswill address implementation of bus-related service at rail stations along withrelated facility improvements.

Potential guidance for a wayfinding system canbe drawn from other systems with a strongbus/rail interface. Figure 4-6 illustrates anexample of wayfinding at a light rail transit (LRT)stop in Downtown Portland, Oregon. This signdirects LRT passengers to several on-street busstops (each having a different collection of busroutes) located in the station area. Signage wouldalso have to be provided to direct buspassengers to the rail station. A potentialenhancement to this signage could include aschematic map of the station area inside thestation entrance showing the location of busstops/connecting routes.

Project signage design, while limited to thestation right-of-way, can provide importantinformation on the location of bus stops andconnecting routes in station areas. Wayfindingsignage beyond the station right-of-way will needto be coordinated with DTS, DPP, and otherinterested parties.

Exhibit 5 Bike Corral Guideline


Bicycle Corral Guidelines

Introduction

Bicycle corrals, or bike corrals, are in-street bicycle parking racks that provide greater capacityfor short-term bicycle parking where there is a higher demand than can be accommodated onsidewalk racks. Bike corrals are particularly attractive when the demand for bicycle parkingbegins to crowd the sidewalk right-of-way. Depending on the sidewalk width, this usually occurswhen parking for 10 or more bikes is desired.

Location

Identifying the best location for a bike corral involves several factors. Locations should beidentified in consultation with adjacent businesses, property owners, and business associationswhere feasible. Some elements to consider are convenience, street corners, main streets,existing parking spaces, and traffic operations.

The bike corral should be located as close as possible to the entrance to high demandbusinesses and other destinations. In most cases bicyclists are unwilling to park their bicyclemore than 100 feet from their destination.

Locating bike corrals near corners provides greater visibility and access for bicyclists. It alsoprevents large vehicles from parking near corners which is an added safety benefit forpedestrians. Exiting bicyclists are also easier to see when the bike corral is not concealedbetween a row of parked cars.

It is tempting to locate bike corrals on side streets away from higher traffic volumes. However,locating bike corrals on main streets makes them easier to find for bicyclists and usuallyreduces the distance to the entrance of the destination.

Bus stops, fire hydrants, turning bus and truck movements, location of catch basins, parkingmeters, and adjacent sidewalk areas all need to be considered when choosing a location forbike corrals.

Design

A bike corral is composed of the bicycle rack, a method of demarcating the parking area, andsignage. Choosing the best rack is a critical choice for a successful facility. Inverted-U racks inseries are generally recommended as they are space-efficient and intuitive for the user. Severalmanufacturers make bike corral systems that use inverted-U racks on rails that are eitherwelded or modular. This makes installation easier and more secure.

A popular design feature is to angle the racks at 60 degrees which reduces the depth of abicycle from 6 feet to 5 feet. Most on-street parking spaces are 8 feet wide. The angled racksprovide a greater buffer between moving traffic and the bicycle’s wheel and also minimizeshandlebar conflicts. Angling the racks reduces the number of bikes that can be accommodatedin the available space so this should also be considered.


The spacing between racks should be 36 inches on center. This width allows for greaterconvenience and maneuverability for bicyclists.

Another option for the rack choice is to use a prefabricated bike corral, such as Dero’s CycleStall Elite. These are stand-alone racks that include a railing that acts as a physical barrier fromtraffic. The open side of the rack should face the curb and ensures that bicyclists enter and exitfrom the curb side. This type of rack is especially recommended when the location is on a busystreet and no bike lane is present. A bike lane provides a buffer area for bicyclists, especiallywhen exiting the rack.

Demarcating the bicycle parking area is important for visibility for both the bicyclists andmotorists. It also provides clear space on both ends of the rack so cars do not encroach into thebicycle parking space. This can be accomplished with bicycle markings on the pavement and a4 foot rubber or cement parking block.

Some type of vertical delineator is also recommended to make the facility more visible. Thismay not be necessary with a prefabricated bike corral but some kind of reflective tape should beapplied to the vertical part of the rack to make it more visible at night.

Bicycle parking signs may be included to make the rack easier to locate for bicyclists.
