Appendix B: Supplemental Performance Measures 165 Appendix B: Supplementary Performance Measures Annual Vehicular Volume Change at Screenlines This indicator is the set of year-over-year percentage changes in traffic volumes at each of the City’s 11 screenlines (see Figure 59), which are the same as those used to calculate volume-to-capacity ratios. It provides an overall picture of how traffic volumes are changing in the city. There are no volume change targets; this measure is used primarily for trend analysis. Average Motor Vehicle Traffic Change by TMD Redmond is divided into seven Transportation Management Districts (TMD)— geographic subdivisions used for transportation planning purposes. Each year Redmond counts automobile traffic on city arterials, and the volumes are summed by TMD and compared to previous years. Occasionally, specific count locations are unavailable due to construction or for other reasons. When this occurs, an estimate will be made by applying a citywide percentage change factor to the last complete count for that location. Figure 59.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Volumes Each fall, the City of Redmond counts pedestrians and bicyclists at 12 locations around the city as part of its annual traffic count program. Pedestrian and bicycle volumes are expressed as a percentage change from the volumes in 2010. The PM peak (4-6 p.m.) volumes from all sites are aggregated, and the resulting number is then compared to the 2010 baseline as a percentage change. Targets are derived from the City of Redmond travel model, given expected transportation investments and land use changes. Percentage of Project Funding Completed with Leveraged Dollars This is the percentage of committed project funding that is provided by project partners, such as the Washington State Department of Transportation or the federal government. Grant funding allows the City of Redmond to accomplish more improvements with each tax dollar.

Together with concurrency, this performance measure provides an indication of whether the City is meeting its Transportation Master Plan implementation goals. Transit Performance In addition to ridership—one of the dashboard performance measures—transit is evaluated on several other measures. These help staff work with regional transit providers to ensure a high quality of service for Redmond commuters and residents. Service Hours Service hours are the number of hours spent carrying passengers, plus associated deadhead hours. Service hours are one indicator of the amount of transit service provided.
