King Street Transit Pilot
November 2017
The King Street Transit Pilot is about moving people more efficiently on transit, improving public space, and supporting business and economic prosperity along King Street. Primarily, the transit pilot aims to improve transit reliability, speed, and capacity on the busiest surface transit route in the entire city, by giving transit priority on King Street from Bathurst Street to Jarvis Street.
AVERAGE VEHICLE TRAVEL TIMES
The monitoring and evaluation of the pilot project involves the collection of data before and during the pilot in order to assess the impacts and benefits of the pilot project. Data is collected through methods such as GPS tracking of TTC streetcars, and using Bluetooth sensors to evaluate car travel times. Monthly updates will be provided reflecting the latest data and information available to the City.
• In some cases, where increases in vehicle travel time of more than a minute are present, other conditions have been identified which most likely caused the delay. For example: • Emergency utility work on Richmond Street negatively impacted travel times on Richmond Street.
This update provides an overview of the results of pilot monitoring during the month of November.
AVERAGE TRANSIT TRAVEL TIMES • The reliability of streetcar travel times has improved for both the morning (7-10 a.m.) and afternoon (4-7 p.m.) rush hours. The most significant improvement has been during the afternoon rush hour, where the upper range of streetcar travel times has improved from 25.0 minutes to 22.0 minutes eastbound, and 24.0 to 19.7 minutes westbound. • There has been an improvement in the even spacing of streetcars during the morning rush hour, with the number of days where targets were met improving to 80% (from 37%) for eastbound streetcars and 67% (from 32%) for westbound streetcars. • Average streetcar travel times have improved for the afternoon rush hours. The most significant improvement has been westbound, with a 2.6 minute improvement in average travel time through the pilot area. • Staff will continue to monitor travel times and reliability for streetcars and identify opportunities for improvements.

• Average vehicle travel times on most streets have varied (+/-) less than a minute compared to before the pilot.
• Staff will continue to monitor car travel times for all routes and identify opportunities for improvements.
COMING SOON Throughout the course of the pilot, the City will also be measuring or reviewing data on the following metrics, which will be made public as they come available in Q1 2018: • • • • • •
Transit Ridership for King Street; Car Volumes; Cycling Volumes; Pedestrian Volumes; Economic Point-of-sale Data; and Parking Utilization.
Further, as the pilot progresses, the majority of data collected for the pilot will become available on the City's open data catalogue. The catalogue can be accessed at: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/open-data/
