ENHANCEMENTS TO CIRCULATOR-DISTRIBUTOR MODELS FOR CHICAGO CENTRAL AREA BASED ON RECENTLY COLLECTED SURVEY DATA

The city of Chicago is evaluating alternative methods of providing for the distribution and circulation of commuters to and workers, visitors, and residents in the vibrant and growing central area of Chicago. In 1990 and 1991 an alternatives analysis/draft environmental impact statement was prepared for a circulator-distributor system for the central area of Chicago. The planning for the locally preferred alternative, a light-rail-transit circulator-distributor system, has now entered the preliminary engineering/final environmental impact statement (PE/FEIS) phase. Refined travel forecasts are being prepared for the PE/FEIS by using refined travel models calibrated with recently collected mode-of-egress survey data. The calibration of the refined circulator-distributor travel models is discussed. In addition the implications for future circulator-distributor and regional modeling efforts that incorporate nonmotorized modes in the choice process are presented.
