1 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE This report updates the February 2010 ridership forecasts for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The report contains the travel demand forecasts for two future scenarios. Scenario 1 has the confirmed Eglinton Crosstown LRT line from Kennedy to Mt Dennis. Scenario 2 has the extended Eglinton Crosstown LRT line from Kennedy to Pearson International Airport. Both scenarios include future (2031) land use in the City of Toronto and surrounding regions. 2 DESCRIPTION OF FORECASTING WORK The City of Toronto/TTC’s current forecasting process was used to analyse the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. This process involves the following:

- updating the future (2031) land use in the study area

- coding the LRT routing options in the City of Toronto and TTC forecasting models

- coding any changes in the feeder bus network

- running the City of Toronto’s GTA model to produce transit demand matrices

- running the TTC’s MADITUC model using the derived transit demand matrices from the GTA model

- generating statistics and interpreting the results The models are coded to represent the 2031 AM peak period transit network, and AM peak period ridership forecasts are produced for the year 2031. The City of Toronto’s GTA Model and the TTC’s MADITUC Model were run for both Scenario 1, with the confirmed LRT lines, and Scenario 2, with the extended LRT lines.

3 LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS Future year (2031) Toronto population assumptions are from the City of Toronto Official Plan with changes for the “Eglinton Second Platform” work in the Eglinton Crosstown corridor. Future year (2031) Toronto employment is based on the City of Toronto Official Plan estimate of 1.8 million jobs adjusted to match Metrolinx’s forecast Toronto employment of 1.6 million job total. The employment was adjusted by applying a factor to the estimated 2001 to 2031 employment growth in the Official Plan so that the total 2031 Toronto employment equals 1.6 million jobs. Future year (2031) land use assumptions in other regions are provided by Metrolinx.

Future land use at the traffic zone level was used in the GTA model to generate trips originating from each zone and destined to each zone. 4 TRANSIT NETWORK ASSUMPTIONS Two network scenarios were modeled. Scenario 1 (Committed Projects + ESRC) includes the committed alignments of the Eglinton Crosstown, Finch West and Sheppard East LRT lines with the Electrification Study Reference Case. Scenario 2 (Basic Scenario + Extensions of LRTs) is the same a scenario one except the LRT lines are extended, and a few feeder bus routes are adjusted. The committed alignment of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT would run along Eglinton Avenue between Kennedy Station and Mt Dennis Station (west of Black Creek). The extended alignment of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT would run along Eglinton Avenue between Kennedy Station and Pearson International Airport. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is coded to operate at a 4-minute frequency and at an average speed of 25km/h when above ground and at 32km/h along the underground section. The LRT will operate underground between Laird Drive and Mt Dennis Station. Along this section the LRT will stop at the following stations: Laird, Bayview, Mt Pleasant, Yonge, Avenue Rd, Chaplin, Bathurst, Eglinton West Station, Oakwood, Dufferin, Caledonia, and Keele.

The model runs include the improvements listed in Table 4-1. The model runs also include numerous feeder bus changes to provide connectivity to the LRT lines.

5 FORECAST RESULTS This section presents the Eglinton Crosstown LRT transit forecasts for the year 2031. Comparison of Original and Updated Model Results Table 5-1 compares the peak passenger demand per hour and the total boardings from the original February 2010 forecast work to the updated December 2013 forecast work. The extended Kennedy Station to Pearson International Airport alignment of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is used for both model runs in this comparison.

Difference 300 1,400 24,000 7

The December 2013 model results show an overall increase in total boardings and peak passenger demand per hour in both directions. The increase in forecast 2031 population in the Eglinton corridor causes the increase in ridership on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The slight increase in the Eglinton Crosstown coded speed in the underground section from 30 km/h to 32 km/h would also result in more riders on the LRT. Finally, network differences, such as the absence of the Jane LRT and Don Mills LRT could also be affecting the Eglinton Crosstown LRT ridership.

The AM peak hour volume is about 5,500 for Scenario 1 with the confirmed LRT lines. This peak hour volume occurs westbound just east of Eglinton station. Daily boardings are estimated to be 162,000 with an annual ridership of about 50 million. The AM peak hour volume is about 6,000 for Scenario 2 with the extended LRT lines. This peak hour volume occurs westbound just east of Eglinton station. Daily boardings are estimated to be 194,000 with an annual ridership of about 59 million. The forecast passengers boarding, alighting and travelling from each station on the Eglinton Crosstown in Scenario 1, with the confirmed LRT lines, are shown in the Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 on the following page. Minor adjustments were made at a few stations to balance the total passengers boarding and alighting in each direction.

The forecast numbers of passengers boarding, alighting and travelling from each station on the Eglinton Crosstown in Scenario 2, with the extended LRT lines, are shown in the Table 5-5 and Table 5-6 below. Minor adjustments were made at a few stations to balance the total passengers boarding and alighting in each direction. The eastbound AM peak hour passengers boarding at Pearson Airport include an additional 250 riders who were not reflected in the modelling runs. These 250 Eglinton Crosstown riders are based on an analysis of air passenger travel on the TTC. The additional 250 passengers are
