Following up on yesterday's conversation, please find attached the worksheet that we will use in the business case
spreadsheet for cost inputs. We've tried to keep it as simple as possible, but please let us know if this template doesn't
work for you. The project options listed on the left hand side of the table correspond to the naming convention used in
the tables that the City team has circulated.
As I mentioned yesterday, the values we're after are the incremental costs of the options vs the base, however, we've
included the base options in the worksheet in case that's more convenient for you . Our preference would be to have
the incremental numbers only.
Regarding Recapitalization costs, would it be correct to assume that these would only apply to the base options? (and
therefore the net impact of these would be to reduce the incremental cost of options?)

Hi Felipe ,
Thanks for sending this around. As discussed yesterday, for SSE, the economic case will only assess
options 1 (McCowan 3 stop) and option 2A (McCowan Express). Therefore , do you need TTC to
populate the other SSE options?
STand EgE costs the City will have to obtain for you.
Thanks,
Karen
Following up on yesterday's conversation, please find attached the worksheet that we will use in the business
case spreadsheet for cost inputs. We've tried to keep it as simple as possible, but please let us know if this
template doesn't work for you . The project options listed on the left hand side of the table correspond to the
naming convention used in the tables that the City team has circulated.
As I mentioned yesterday, the values we're after are the incremental costs of the options vs the base, however,
we've included the base options in the worksheet in case that's more convenient for you . Our preference would
be to have the incremental numbers only.
Regarding Recapitalization costs, would it be correct to assume that these would only apply to the base
options? (and therefore the net impact of these would be to reduce the incremental cost of options?)

Dear all,
A quick clarification on the spreadsheet : Since it's been decided that we will not be assessing the economic case for SSE
options 2B and 2C, we won't be needing costs for them so please ignore the lines for those two options. (Thanks for
pointing that out Karen)

Hi Peter,
We've reviewed the scope of work and have some minor suggested modifications (please see
attached). Additionally, we'd like to note that given the very schedule, availability of input
information, particularly estimates or assumptions of costs and option descriptions, within the
first days of the study is essential.
Ideally we'd like to get started as soon as possible so, if you agree, we would like to start liaising
with the Project Team this week to make sure we have a clear understanding of the options and
agree and, when the time for the kick-off meeting comes next week, we're able to discuss and
agree a proposed evaluation framework.
Regarding the client side team, would you be the Project Manager? And would I be correct in
assuming that the Project Team will be made up of members of the Transit Implementation
Team?
Regards ,
Felipe

Hi Felipe
Thanks for the proposal submitted on March 19, 2016 to our City Planning Division (Tim
Laspa). The City Manager's Office is leading the coordination of business case development as
it involves a number of city divisions and external partners. We have developed a scope of work
for the services required, and would appreciate your review. Given the significant time
constraints, we are looking to retain consulting services on an expedited basis to support the
City's business case development for a number of projects. In particular with focus on the
economic case analysis. I understand ARUP has significant experience in this area, and in
particular utilizing the Metrolinx Business Case Methodology, which the City is adopting.
If you could advise if ARUP is still in a position to support this work, it would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Peter Notaro

Hello Peter,
As you know, we are undertaking business cases for all of our current priority transit projects. As part of this work, ARUP
Canada Inc. is undertaking accessibility modelling, as well as translating benefits and costs into benefit/cost ratios as per
the Metrolinx business case guidance .
For the accessibility modelling, ARUP needs to use the SmartTrack population and employment forecasts . I'm expecting
that ARUP will need to sign a data usage agreement before we provide the data. Would you be able to send this to me,
or directly to Felipe, copied on this email?
Thanks!

Hi Felipe
I was wondering what the timing is for receiving the outputs for economic case numbers on SSE and RL and
the one EgE option that has cost numbers assigned to it?
As mentioned before I would like to set up a briefing to go through numbers that are available.
Pis advise.
Thanks

Hi Felipe,
I'm following up to set up a meeting with TTC to discuss how the cost estimates will input to the
economic case for SSE and RL.
I think next week is likely the earliest we can schedule a meeting given the events of this week. Are
there any days that are particularly difficult for you?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Karen

business case methodology. A business case template has been developed by the City and will be
shared with the consultant.
The business case development process will be led by the City Manager's Office, working in partnership
with City Planning, Corporate Finance, TTC, and Metrolinx. The City Manager's Office will appoint a Project
Manager for the project, who is the primary point of contact for the Consultant. Meetings between the
Consultant and the Project Teams will take place in person or by phone bi-weekly, or more frequently as
required, to address specific aspects of the analysis.
The Consultant will be responsible for carrying out technical work in support of the development of specific

Conflicts of Interest
The vendor must disclose to the City any potential conflict of interest that might compromise the performance of the
Work. If such a conflict of interest does exist, the City may, at its discretion , refuse to consider or cancel the sole
source contract. If such a potential conflict of interest exists or arises during the evaluation process or the negotiation
of the Agreement, the City may also, at its discretion , withhold the awarding of any Agreement to the vendor until
the matter is resolved to the City's sole satisfaction.
The vendor must also disclose whether they are aware of any City employee, Council member or member of a City
agency, board or commission or employee thereof, having a financial interest in the vendor and the nature of that
interest.
If, during the sole source contract process or the negotiation of the Agreement, the vendor is retained by another
client giving rise to a potential conflict of interest, then the vendor will so inform the City. If the City requests, then
the vendor will refuse the new assignment or will take such steps as are necessary to remove the conflict of interest
concerned.
Vendors are cautioned that the acceptance of their agreement may preclude them from participating as a vendor in
subsequent projects where a conflict of interest may arise. The successful vendor for this project may participate in
subsequent/other City projects provided the successful vendor has satisfied qualification requirements of the contract
, if any, and in the opinion of the City, no conflict of interest would adversely affect the performance and successful
completion of an Agreement by the successful vendor.

Thanks Felipe.
No problem. Appreciate the very fast turn around. I will try to get time in the afternoon with Peter.
Hi Karen,
Yes, I'm availabl.e tomorrow. Preferably in the afternoon but could shift th ings around if the morning works better for
you.
Thanks for forwarding the EgE full alignment capital costs, I'll update the numbers first thing tomorrow (I just left my
office).
I'll also send you the hours spent first thing tomorrow, hope that's not too late !
Felipe
Hi Felipe,
Thanks for sending over results. Noticed EgE capital cost for full alignment was not in
there. Please see attached .
Senior staff are eager to have a discussion in the next couple of days on these results. I
think we may also need to discuss if any additional analysis is required; given some of
the assumptions made. If you could advise on the current number of hours that have
been utilized in your contract it would be appreciated .
Thanks

Hi Karen,
We're not finished with the note or table yet, but in the interest of time I'm forwarding you a draft
version of a short note that includes both a description of the methodology and a list of inputs and
outputs (though not yet in table format).
We're working on defining accessibility metrics that we could use that will give us a number for the
whole region (in addition tables of results or maps, which is what we'd currently have) .
We've also incorporated in the note some of the adjustments we've made based on conversations with
Michael Hain and Friday's meeting.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for helping facilitate a meeting with Eric Miller. The key issues to discuss are:
Separating crowding penalty and fares from 'traditional' journey time components (walk, wait, in-vehicle and
transfer penalties)
Model Value of Time vs . economic evaluation value of time
His views on 'counterintuitive' results (e.g. 00 pairs where generalized cost increases but demand increases
too)
It may well end up being a very short chat so we could set it up as a conference call, if that suits.
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated version of the note we circulated on Monday, now including tables listing the
required inputs and the outputs and descriptions of system-wide accessibility metrics that we propose to

Hi Karen,
We're not finished with the note or table yet, but in the interest of time I'm forwarding you a draft version of a
short note that includes both a description of the methodology and a list of inputs and outputs (though not yet in
table format).
We're working on defining accessibility metrics that we could use that will give us a number for the whole
region (in addition tables of results or maps, which is what we'd currently have).
Cheers,

Hi Karen,
Apologies for the delayed response, I've been out of the office all day and have only been able to read and
respond to messages sporadically.
We don't have the planning data yet, but I think we will be receiving it very soon.
Michael Hain was confident that he could provide VKT data and we've set up the appraisal spreadsheet so that
it uses it as an input. So we should be able to get that.
I'm going to give him a call tomorrow morning to check on things because we have no model outputs yet.
Cheers,
Felipe
Hi Felipe
Have you received required data yet from city planning and ttc?
I'm going to send over the costs we have for smarttrack and Eglinton West lrt.
We have very rough numbers for Eglinton East but not cash flow. I will try to connect with you
to discuss once I send the material over.
I was also wondering what the likelihood is of being able to calculate the measures related to
vkt. You mentioned that you may be able to pending conversation with ridership modelling staff.
I'm hoping we can present the results of the economic case analysis to date to the DCM next
week. Please advise if you have any concerns.
Thanks

Hi Karen,
In any case I was able to speak to our legal team yesterday and it's ok for us to sign the contract as it is with only one
suggested amendment: the second clause under Professional Liability insurance talks about infringement of copyright
and intellectual property. We have that covered under our Comprehensive General Liability insurance but not under PL,
so the request would be to move that clause to the CGL section.
Thanks,

Hello Peter,
As you know, we are undertaking business cases for all of our current priority transit projects. As part of this work, ARUP
Canada Inc. is undertaking accessibility modelling, as well as translating benefits and costs into benefit/cost ratios as per
the Metrolinx business case guidance.
For the accessibility modelling, ARUP needs to use the SmartTrack population and employment forecasts. I'm expecting
that ARUP will need to sign a data usage agreement before we provide the data . Would you be able to send this to me,
or directly to Felipe, copied on this email?

Ok,

I wouldn't mind seeing what you have in terms of the PV of the financial case numbers.
Hi Karen,
I've updated the costs for the options you sent me information for in the appraisal spreadsheet model, but I
haven't received 2041 numbers from Michael Hain yet.
I was waiting for Michael's number before updating the summary slides but I can send you a draft version
based on the numbers I currently have within the next half an hour or so.
Michael said we could expect to have his numbers by "midweek" which I'm assuming to be today.
Please let me know if you'd like to see a first draft of the results today or if you'd prefer to wait until we have
the 2041 numbers from Michael.
I should be available all day today so feel free to give me a call either at my office or my cellphone.

With regards to Arup actions from last week, I'll be sending you a table with the outputs that we'll be generating later

by transit travel time savings. However transit travel time savings account for a much larger proportion of the NPV(PVB PVC)

Substantial benefit from fare savings mainly due to integrated fare
Road decongestion benefits are significant, and double those estimated for Int. Option C.
Small positive increase in fare revenue suggests that increase in demand is sufficient to offset reduced fare

Thanks Felipe .
I'll wait until you have the next version ready and set up a briefing to go through the numbers.
Hi Karen,
The attached powerpoint file has the latest numbers, including costs data for RL, Eglinton East to UTSC and
SSE Express.
Cheers,
Felipe
Ok,
I'll follow up with Michael Hain.
I wouldn 't mind seeing what you have in terms of the PV of the financial case numbers.
Hi Karen ,
I was waiting for Michael's number before updating the summary slides but I can send you a draft version
based on the numbers I currently have within the next half an hour or so.
Michael said we could expect to have his numbers by "midweek" which I'm assuming to be today.
Please let me know if you'd like to see a first draft of the results today or if you'd prefer to wait until we have
the 2041 numbers from Michael.
I should be available all day today so feel free to give me a call either at my office or my cellphone.

I was wondering what the timing is for receiving the outputs for economic case numbers on SSE and RL and
the one EgE option that has cost numbers assigned to it?
As mentioned before I would like to set up a briefing to go through numbers that are available.

Hi Karen,
What model has been used to estimate the user and external benefits of the SmartTrack options?
If the model used is elasticity-based, does it take into account demand at new stations? How does it consider
the impact of new stations on the rest of the network (i.e. new connections)?
Could you share the stop to stop travel time assumptions for the base (GO RER) and test (ST options C and D)
scenarios?
I think answers to these would help us understand the differences in the results. We'd probably have to ask follow-up
questions, but these will at least allow us to confirm what model is being used and more or less how it's working.
Cheers,
Felipe
I suggest that before the briefing with senior staff we try to speak to someone at Metrolinx so that we know for sure
where the numbers in the Metrolinx business come from.
If the numbers come from the elasticity-based model then perhaps Michael Hand I could meet with Phil Orr to get
more details about the model.

Thanks for the meeting today. It was very useful to start getting an understand of what the outputs will look like.
In follow up:
- Attached are the confidential draft capital cost estimates for Eg E LRT. Password is the same as last. We don't have
O&M numbers for this project unfortunately.
- City Planning is to provide the updated ridership numbers for you as soon as possible (Monday morning latest?)
- Set up a briefing to go through full results of economic case with key senior staff. I will look to get a time set up for end
of day Tuesday or early Wednesday.
- Based on outcome of briefing we may consider whether additional analysis is required , based on availability of other
inputs, time and resources .

Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated powerpoint file with the summary results of the economic assessment of all tested
options, now including the latest model outputs provided by the City Planning team last night and this morning.
In addition to the changes made to the relief line options, there is a very small change in the Eglinton East LRT numbers
that result from adjusting the assumed opening year to 2025, in line with the assumption for SSE Express. The NPV and
BCR for Eglinton East don't change as a result of this.
In the interest of time we have not yet updated the sensitivity test charts that are included in the last couple of sl ides.

Hi Karen, Mike,
As a follow-up to yesterday's teleconference, below is a summary of the status of the study:
Base Case: During a telephone conversation between Michael Haine and Felipe Camargo, it was
found that there was some confusion between the teams regarding the definition of a 'base
case'. At the meeting held on April 29 1h, it was agreed that a single base case would be used for
all options, which included GO RER as the base for SmartT rack. However, the City Planning team
was working under the assumption that ST Option C would be included in the base case for all
other projects.
Karen is confirming with senior management what base case they feel is most appropriate to
present
Accessibility/connectivity Analysis: All options have been coded in the accessibility model and
runs are complete for the GO-RER base case, and currently underway for the 'Option B Base
Case'. The runs, which take approximately 48 hours for all the scenarios, should be complete
tonight.
o Input Data:
Population and employment data has not been provided by the city as of the date/time
of this email.
Economic Benefits: An evaluation spreadsheet to estimate benefits as described in the
methodology note circulated earlier has been prepared and is ready to receive inputs.
o Input Data:
Strategic model outputs have not been provided by the city as of the date/time of this
email.
Costs information for the options have not been provided by the city as of the
Hi Karen,
Yes, it was very productive conversation, thanks for arranging it. With regards to next steps, below are a table with team
member hourly rates, a list the key indicators to be measured and a table with the initial list of inputs needed for the
work.
We will get back to you if there are any questions around the options and for Friday, we'll do a bit of thinking and will
bring a proposed way forward for discussion.
Key indicators to be evaluated (as a top priority, more will be added if there is time available}:
Journey Time benefits
Fare savings (for SmartTrack options, where changes in fares are defined as part of the options}
Revenue impacts
Crowding relief
Accessibility impacts
o Access to jobs (base and future year}
o Access to labour force (base and future year}
Data requirements:
We're writing up a short methodology note that provides a bit more context which we will circulate later this week .

Hi Felipe,
Thanks for sending over results. Noticed EgE capital cost for full alignment was not in there. Please
see attached.
Peter Notaro has requested a briefing tomorrow if your available to get an understanding of the
results. Would you be able to advise.
Senior staff are eager to have a discussion in the next couple of days on these results. I think we may
also need to discuss if any additional analysis is required; given some of the assumptions made. If
you could advise on the current number of hours that have been utilized in your contract it would be
appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Karen, Non responsive information removed
To keep you in the loop (in case you haven't been updated by the Planning team) regarding options,
model runs, etc., Kristin Olson mentioned this morning that new model runs will be needed (for both
the demand model and the accessibility model) because of adjustments made to the speed assumptions
for the SSE Express (now assumed to run at 50km/h).
We should have outputs from both models ready by midday tomorrow.
Cheers,
Felipe
PS: Our office leader has been out yesterday and today so I haven't been able to get his signature for
the LOA. I think we should be able to catch him tomorrow, and as soon as we have the signed copies I'll

Thanks for making this change. Yes, the GTA model has already been run (over last night) to reflect this speed change
for the SSE Express options.
Michael- can you send Felipe/ Ana the updated tables they need for the economic benefits work?
Mike
Hi Kristin,
Sure, we can do that. The coding shouldn't take very long, not more than one hour, but run time would be about 24
hours (3 scenarios x 2 time periods x 4 hours per run), plus perhaps another hour or so of post-processing time.
So starting right now, if all goes well, we should have results for the SSE and Eglinton East LRT with the express section
of the subway running at SOkm/h by around lunchtime tomorrow.
Cheers,
Felipe
PS: Will the GTA Model be run again with these changes? Or actually my question would be, should we be expecting
revised numbers for the economic benefits estimation for the three scenarios that include SSE Express?
Hi Felipe,
Just left you a voicemail about correcting the speed coded for SSE and re-running the model.
It's an urgent request (of course!)

Thanks Felipe.
I'm having some trouble reading the charts. Is there a way to adjust the font sizes/scale?
Please find attached an updated version of the powerpoint with the summary business case outputs. It now
includes four new Relief Line sheets, the two that show the results when compared vs the base that does NOT
include SmartTrack Option C, plus two with the numbers for the RL going all the way to Sheppard.
These are based on model outputs for 2041 provided by the Planning team. We've assumed that the benefits
would grow between 2031 and 2041 for the two new conditions (i.e. vs Base w/o Opt C and Relief Line to
Sheppard) in the same way as it does for the assessment that was done previously.
We expect these will change so I didn't add any commentary to the added slides, but generally speaking, they
show that the benefits of the 'short' Relief Line when evaluated with a base that excludes SmartTrack are
similar to the evaluation assuming SmartTrack and hence the value for money assessment is not great (BCRs
between 0.2 and 0.3).
The longer Relief Line does show significantly greater benefits, but without costs information we only have a
partial picture.

Hi Kristin,
The fare savings component is calculated based on the difference in the average fares between every 0-D pair in the 'Do
Something' compared to a 'base'. So when we test SmartTrack, there's a large amount of OD pairs which without
SmartTrack would include a GO fare but once STat TIC fares is introduced the average fare is reduced. This average fare
is based on a set of 'feasible' paths that travelers would take, according to the model, in each scenario.
This is why you see a large 'fare savings benefit' in the ST options.
Felipe
Hi all,
This is my first time seeing any of outputs for the economic analysis.
Could someone clarify what is meant by fare savings? I had thought we were assuming TIC fares on SmartTrack.

We've updated our spreadsheet with your outputs (thanks again for sending them last week) and have a couple of quick
questions/comments:
The data you provided is for 2031, is your plan still to extract data for 2041?
The Eglinton East test is described as "Option C with Express with ... ", this is inconsistent with all the other tests
which have McCowan 3 as the base.
The results for Eglinton East 'Full LRT' look a little bit odd; essentially it makes things worse. The 'shortened LRT'
option performs better which suggests to us that there could be something wrong with how this option is set up
in the model.
Thanks,
Felipe
Hello Felipe,
Unfortunately, we were not able to finish extracting all of the travel time savings numbers. Attached are what we have
been able to pull so far and blank tables to show what we will fill in on Tuesday. I hope it is enough to get you started .
I believe that once we have sent you a completed version of this table we will have sent you all of the inputs you need
from the Regional Travel Demand Model. VKT reductions and fare revenue were included in the spreadsheet I sent you
on Wednesday.
Please let me know if you think there are any other outstanding measures.
Michael
Hi Karen,
Thanks for the updates/responses, we've started to incorporate the new information and will be ready to start
generating outputs from the Accessibility Model as soon as the base case assumptions are confirmed.
What I meant by "Strategic Model Outputs" was the information that's coming out of the GTA Model that Michael and
his team are generating (i.e. travel time benefit, crowding benefit, fare savings, fare revenue and change in VKT). Sorry, I
realize I could've been clearer!

Tel: 416-392-2720, Email: kthorbu@toronto.ca
Following an initial review of the transit project options being assessed and discussions with the City
Project Team, it was concluded that the projects all share the following key objectives:
Increase the overall capacity of the city's transportation system, thus relieving crowding
Provide additional and/or more convenient connections between key areas of the city
Generate additional economic activity be enhancing 'developability' of sites and improving
labour market reach .
In light of this, we recommend that the calculation of the following economic benefits is given the
highest priority in the assessment:
Crowding Relief
Accessibility impacts
Additionally, a key difference between the SmartTrack options being assessed is the fare being paid.
Therefore, for the evaluation of these options, we propose to also include user Fare Savings and
revenue impacts for operators.
It should be noted that prioritizing these impacts means that an evaluation is not exhaustive and care
should be taken in comparing outputs and options, particularly in relation to option costs.
The analysis will follow, in general terms, Metrolinx ' s business case guidance as set out in the latest
available draft version of their Business Case Development Handbook. However, it should be noted
that given time constraints for this work, the evaluation will not be exhaustive, and not all benefits will
be assessed. In consequence, the overall outputs that are generally produced as an outcome of the
C:\USEASIVLEUNGl \APPOAT A\LOCAL\MICROSOFnWINOOWS\TEMPORARY INTE RNET FIL ES\CQNTENT.OUTLOOK\IY32CIXL\201&-05-04 FILENOTE ECONOMIC INDICATORS V3.DOCX
Economic Case of the business case, the Benefit to Cost Ratio and the Net Present Value will not be
directly comparable to those produced by comprehensive business cases.
Present Values of the benefits and costs will be estimated, applying Metrolinx's recommended
parameters and assumptions with regards to appraisal period length, discount rates, inflation, GOP
growth rates, etc.
A brief description of how each of the indicators will be evaluated, required inputs and the outputs
produced for each indicator, is included below.
Journey Time Benefits will be evaluated following the methodology described in Metrolinx's draft
Business Case Development Handbook and seeks to answer the question "What is the value of the total
travel time savings (if any) resulting from the intervention?"'.
The analysis is based on zone to zone Generalized Journey Time estimates extracted from the city's
GTAModel by city staff. Generalized Journey Times include factors for walking and waiting and
transfer penalties, and represent users' perceived travel time, as opposed to actual elapsed time.
Journey time benefits are monetized by converting time into dollars using travelers ' perceived value of
travel time savings.
Key inputs:
0-D transit demand, extracted from GTA Model
0-D Generalized Journey Time, extracted from GTA Model
Journey time benefit for modelled time period (estimated by City Team directly in GTA
Model)
Outputs:
Overall Present Value (PV) of Journey Time Benefits
PV of Journey Time Benefits by income band (if time allows)
PV of Journey Time Benefits by travel time change band (if time allows)
Crowding Relief
The methodology for the estimation of crowding relief benefits will be developed within the first week
of the study.
The city's forecasting model (GTAModel) takes into account crowding in the assignment of passengers
to services. To do this, it includes crowding curves which work in a similar fashion to the table shown
1
Business Case Development Handbook Tier 2 v 0.31, pg 29. Metrolinx.
C:\USERSWLEUNG1\APPDATA\LCX::Al\MICROSOFT\W INOOWS'oTEMPOAARY INTE RN ET F ILES\CONTENT .OUTL~ IY32C IXL\2016-05-04 FIL ENOTE ECONOMIC INDICA TORS V3.DOCX
above; depending on the level of occupancy of the vehicles, multipliers are applied to the in-vehicle
time to represent users' dislike of crowding.
If possible, the average crowding 'cost' for travel between all 0-D pairs, as estimated by the model ,
will be extracted by City staff. This crowding cost, in minutes, will be monetized and the relative
change will be estimated for options in comparison with the base case.
If it's not possible to extract the crowding cost separately, this cost will be included in the Journey
Time Benefit. This is because the GTA Model estimates a perceived journey time that includes, in
addition to all the ' traditional' components of travel time (walk time, wait time, in-vehicle time and
transfer penalties), a crowding penalty that is calculated based on the number of passengers and the
capacity of the route.
Key inputs:
0-D transit demand, extracted from GTA Model
0-D crowding penalty time, extracted from GTA Model
Crowding relief benefit for modelled time period (estimated by City Team directly in GTA
Model)
Outputs:
Overall PV of Crowding Relief Benefits
Fare Savings will be estimated based on the change in fare paid by users to travel between zones and
the number of transit users travelling between them. The revenue impacts for operators will also be
calculated, to permit an understanding of the trade-off between user impacts and producer (operator)
finances.
Key inputs:
0-D transit demand, extracted from GTA Model
0-D average fare
System-wide fare revenue
Key outputs
Overall PV of Fare Savings Benefits
Overall PV of Revenue Impacts

The improved connectivity that the transit projects are likely to bring has impacts on social equity, by
providing better, more affordable and ideally easier to use options to those who need it; as well as
impacts on the economy, by enabling better access to jobs for residents and increasing the size and
diversity of the labour-force available to existing or potential employers.
Access to Jobs
Access to Labour Force
For the evaluation we will use existing and forecast jobs and population. An evaluation on existing
values helps visualize the impacts on figures that are known and highly reliable. The evaluation on
forecast values helps understand the impacts once changes in land use are taken into account; large
developments that don't exist today, for instance, would be (at least partly) taken into account in the
forecasts. Forecasts, however, have a significant component of uncertainty.
For access to jobs, the distance-decayed jobs within 60 minutes of each home zone will be averaged
over the whole region, weighted by the zone population. For labour force we will estimate the changes
in the number of people within an acceptable travel time of key employment and development centers
(to be agreed with the city Project Team) for all scenarios against the base scenario. As with jobs
within reach of the population, a single regional value for the average labour force within range of
employment locations will be calculated for each scenario. The third indicator to be calculated for each
scenario will be the average travel time between origins and destinations, weighted by both the
population at origins and the employment at destinations.
Access to Jobs can be measured for different sectors of the population across all of the GTHA and
statistics on relative changes with respect to the base scenario will be estimated .
The sectors of the population for which this will be done will be agreed with the Project team, but an
initial suggestion would be to aggregate by the following income bands, as suggested in Metrolinx 's
draft guidance:
Lowest 20th percentile
Middle 60th percentile
Top 20th percentile
Key inputs:
Existing jobs
Current population
Forecast jobs
Forecast population
Existing transit network (available in the accessibility toolkit)
Future transit network details

Overall Indicators
In addition to the individual indicators listed above, a Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) and Net Present
Value will be estimated for each project option. As has been mentioned previously, it should be noted
that the list of benefits assessed as part of this study is not exhaustive so direct comparisons with other
studies should be done with this consideration in mind.
The Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) is calculated as PVB/PVC, where PVB is the Present Value of
Benefits (the sum of the indicators listed above, including the impacts on the service provider) and
PVC is the Present Value of Costs of the project option, including capital and operating & maintenance
costs.

Hi Felipe,
We were wondering if you might have some insight on this. When calculating the 60 year lifecycle

Hi Peter,
Further to the email I sent you on Monday and following a conversation with Mike Logan in City Planning (who Project
Managed our work on the connectivity analysis a few months ago), I suggest we all have a call first thing tomorrow
(Thursday) to talk through the priorities for each business case in terms of the greatest impacts/benefits.
It would also be great if you could share with us the latest list of options for each of the business cases, in advance of
tomorrow's call, if you're happy to go ahead with it.
The call and the options list will help us plan for how we will structure our work.

Hi Peter,
We've reviewed the scope of work and have some minor suggested modifications (please see attached) . Additionally,
we ' d like to note that given the very schedule, availability of input information, particularly estimates or assumptions of
costs and option descriptions, within the first days of the study is essential.
Ideally we'd like to get started as soon as possible so, if you agree, we would like to start liaising with the Project Team
this week to make sure we have a clear understanding of the options and agree and, when the time for the kick-off
meeting comes next week, we're able to discuss and agree a proposed evaluation framework.
Regarding the client side team, would you be the Project Manager? And would I be correct in assuming that the Project
Team will be made up of members of the Transit Implementation Team?

Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated powerpoint file with the summary results of the economic assessment of all
tested options, now including the latest model outputs provided by the City Planning team last night and this
morning.
In addition to the changes made to the relief line options, there is a very small change in the Eglinton East LRT
numbers that result from adjusting the assumed opening year to 2025, in line with the assumption for SSE
Express. The NPV and BCR for Eglinton East don 't change as a result of this.
In the interest of time we have not yet updated the sensitivity test charts that are included in the last couple of
slides. But please let me know if you'll need them and we will update and forward those too.

This is my first time seeing any of outputs for the economic analysis.
Could someone clarify what is meant by fare savings? I had thought we were assuming TIC fares on SmartTrack.

Decision-making process
Implementation
Impacts considered should include all impacts which have an effect on societal welfare,
including:
- User benefits (e.g. Travel time savings, travel cost savings, crowding relief, travel time
reliability, etc.)
- Financial impacts (e.g. fare revenue)
- External impacts (e.g. Road decongestion, emissions reductions, accident prevention, etc.)
- Economic development impacts (e.g. Agglomeration, indirect tax revenue, land value uplift,
etc)
- Social and community impacts (e.g. Accessibility and distributional impacts)
6 A~P
Notes :
Monetization of user benefits is based on the concept of 'consumer surplus' which is essentially what a user would be willing to pay for a
service and what it actually costs- benefits (or disbenefits) are the change in consumer surplus between the option and a 'do-minimum'
BCR and NPV are estimated for a 60yr evaluation period, using Metrolinx recommended values for economic parameters such as discount
rates, inflation, etc. (details provided in the next slide)

Hi Karen,
As promised this morning, please find attached an example of what the economic case summary slides will look like. For
the time being they're based on 2031 numbers extracted from the city's model and assume a 2% annual growth for all
benefits, which is assumed to be 0% from 2041 onwards, and of course exclude costs.
The idea is that once all the inputs are complete we could use this type of output to help communicate the results to
senior managers.
I haven't added anything on methodology, but we could include the slides that I showed you a few weeks ago, which
describe the methodology in fairly basic terms. (plus we will need to add a front cover and section dividers, etc)

Hello Felipe,
Unfortunately, we were not able t o fi nish extracting all of the travel time savings numbers. Att ached are what we have
been able to pull so far and blank tables to show what we will fill in on Tuesday. I hope it is enough to get you started .
I believe that once we have sent you a completed version of this table we will have sent you all of t he inputs you need
f rom the Regional Travel Demand Model. VKT redu ctions and fare revenue were included in the spreadsheet I sent you
on Wednesday.
Plea se Jet me know if you th in k the re are any other outstand ing measures.
M ich ael
Hi Karen,
Thanks for the updates/responses, we've started to incorporate the new information and will be ready to start
generating outputs from the Accessibility Model as soon as the base case assumptions are confumed.
What I meant by "Strategic Model Outputs" was the information that's coming out of the GTA Model that
Michael and his team are generating (i.e. travel time benefit, crowding benefit, fare savings, fare revenue and
change in VKT). Sorry, I realize I could've been clearer!
Cheers,
Felipe
Thanks,
Karen
Hi Karen, Mike,
Please note that although we are making our best efforts to have results ready by the end of May, if we don't
have the missing information by close of Tuesday 24 May it will not be possible to generate outputs within the
timescales. Lets touch base on Tuesday to assess schedule for outputs based on the inputs you have received.
Regards,

Hello Felipe,
Here is the completed table. We are going to dig deeper into the results for the Eglinton East LRT.
M.
Hello Felipe,
Sorry, I didn't realize that you needed 2041 for your method too. We will pull those numbers as soon as we can but it
won't be today.
The Eglinton East LRT is only being proposed in the case of the Express subway being built, which is why the Express is
used in the base for that case.
. As a quick alternative, we also tested the LRT without changing any of the bus
routes. I haven't seen all of the numbers from those runs yet but they appear to move in a more logical way. We should
be able to send those to you with the completed spreadsheet for 2031.

Hi Michael,
We've updated our spreadsheet with your outputs (thanks again for sending them last week) and have a couple
of quick questions/comments:
The data you provided is for 2031, is your plan still to extract data for 2041?
The Eglinton East test is described as "Option C with Express with ... ", this is inconsistent with all the
other tests which have McCowan 3 as the base.

Hi Michael,
This looks great, thanks. I'll update the spreadsheet over the weekend . We'd have to modify these if the

Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated version of the powerpoint with the summary business case outputs. It now includes
four new Relief Line sheets, the two that show the results when compared vs the base that does NOT include
SmartTrack Option C, plus two with the numbers for the RL going all the way to Sheppard .
These are based on model outputs for 2041 provided by the Planning team. We've assumed that the benefits would
grow between 2031 and 2041 for the two new conditions (i.e. vs Base w/o Opt C and Relief Line to Sheppard) in the
same way as it does for the assessment that was done previously.

Impacts considered should include all impacts which have an effect on societal welfare,
including:
- User benefits (e.g. Travel time savings, travel cost savings, crowding relief, travel time
reliability, etc)
- Financial impacts (e.g. fare revenue)
- External impacts (e.g. Road decongestion, emissions reductions, accident prevention, etc)
- Economic development impacts (e.g. Agglomeration, indirect tax revenue, land value uplift,
etc)
- Social and community impacts (e.g. Accessibility and distributional impacts)
6 AWP
Notes:
Monetization of user benefits is based on the concept of 'consumer surplus' which is essentially what a user would be willing to pay for a
service and what it actually costs- benefits (or disbenefits) are the change in consumer surplus between the option and a 'do-minimum'
BCR and NPV are estimated for a 60yr evaluation period, using Metrolinx recommended val ues for economic parameters such as discount
rates, GDP growth, etc.
Accessibility benefits are calculated and reported for the base year (i.e. what would be the benefit if the project initiated operations today) and a
future year

Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated powerpoint file with the summary results of the economic assessment of all tested
options, now including the latest model outputs provided by the City Planning team last night and this morning.
In addition to the changes made to the relief line options, there is a very small change in the Eglinton East LRT numbers
that result from adjusting the assumed opening year to 2025, in line with the assumption for SSE Express. The NPV and
BCR for Eglinton East don't change as a result of this.
In the interest of time we have not yet updated the sensitivity test charts that are included in the last couple of slides.
But please let me know if you'll need them and we will update and forward those too.
Cheers,
Felipe

Strategic Case: Is a project is supported by a robust case for change that fits
with wider public policy objectives?
Economic Case: Can it be demonstrated that the project shows good
value for money?
Financial Case: Is the project financially affordable?
Deliverability and Operations Case: Is the project achievable?

Impacts considered should include all impacts which have an effect on societal welfare,
including:
- User benefits (e.g. Travel time savings, travel cost savings, crowding relief, travel time
reliability, etc.)
- Financial impacts (e.g. fare revenue)
- External impacts (e.g. Road decongestion, emissions reductions, accident prevention, etc.)
- Economic development impacts (e.g. Agglomeration, indirect tax revenue, land value uplift,
etc)
- Social and community impacts (e.g. Accessibility and distributional impacts)
User Benefits:
Value of Journey Time Benefits
Time Fare Savings
Crowding Relief
Notes:
Monetization of user benefits is based on the concept of 'consumer surplus' which is essentially what a user would be willing to pay for a
service and what it actually costs- benefits (or disbenefits) are the change in consumer surplus between the option and a 'do-minimum'
BCR and NPV are estimated for a 60yr evaluation period, using Metrolinx recommended values for economic parameters such as discount
rates, inflation, etc. (details provided in the next slide)

Hi Felipe ,
I circulated the table of data points required and measures from your last email to key staff.
For discussion this afternoon. I think a walk through the methodology would be very helpful as staff
are coming from different levels of knowledge and perspective on what is a business case and what
is included in the economic case.
City Planning has some comments/questions which you will see noted in the attached document. I
have also inserted information for you on costing and project in service year.
City Planning has also requested I share the measures they are using through Feeling Congested?.
We can have further discussion this afternoon.
If you're free before the 3:30pm, and available to meet in advance of our meeting with the larger
group, I would like to talk through administrative matters and provide you an overview of our overall
business case development process to provide you context. If your free at 3pm, please advise.
Thanks,
Karen

Hi Karen,
We're not finished with the note or table yet, but in the interest of time I'm forwarding you a draft version of a short
note that includes both a description of the methodology and a list of inputs and outputs (though not yet in table
format).
We're working on defining accessibility metrics that we could use that will give us a number for the whole region (in
addition tables of results or maps, which is what we'd currently have) .
We've also incorporated in the note some of the adjustments we've made based on conversations with Michael Hain
and Friday's meeting.
Cheers,

Following an initial review of the transit project options being assessed and discussions with the City
Project Team, it was concluded that the projects all share the following key objectives:
Increase the overall capacity of the city's transportation system, thus relieving crowding
Provide additional and/or more convenient connections between key areas of the city
Additionally, a key difference between the SmartTrack options being assessed is the fare being paid.
Therefore, for the evaluation of these options, we propose to also include user Fare Savings and
revenue impacts for operators.
It should be noted that prioritizing these impacts means that an evaluation is not exhaustive and care
should be taken in comparing outputs and options, particularly in relation to option costs.
The analysis will follow, in general terms, Metrolinx ' s business case guidance as set out in the latest
available draft version of their Business Case Development Handbook. However, it should be noted
that given time constraints for this work, the evaluation will not be exhaustive, and not all benefits will
be assessed. In consequence, the overall outputs that are generally produced as an outcome of the
C:IUSERS\VLEUNG 1\APPDAT A\LOCAL\MICROSOFnWJNDQINS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FllES\CONTENT .OUT LOOK\IY32CIXl\20 16-o&02 FILENOT E ECONOMIC INDICATORS V2.DOCX
Economic Case of the business case, the Benefit to Cost Ratio and the Net Present Value will not be
directly comparable to those produced by comprehensive business cases.
Present Values of the benefits and costs will be estimated, applying Metrolinx ' s recommended
parameters and assumptions with regards to appraisal period length, discount rates, inflation, GDP
growth rates, etc.
A brief description of how each of the indicators will be evaluated, required inputs and the outputs
produced for each indicator, is included below.
Journey Time Benefits will be evaluated following the methodology described in Metrolinx's draft
Business Case Development Handbook and seeks to answer the question "What is the value of the total
travel time savings (if any) resulting from the intervention?"'.
The analysis is based on zone to zone Generalized Journey Time estimates extracted from the city's
GTAModel by city staff. Generalized Journey Times include factors for walking and waiting and
transfer penalties, and represent users' perceived travel time, as opposed to actual elapsed time.
Journey time benefits are monetized by converting time into dollars using travelers' perceived value of
travel time savings.
Key inputs:
0-D transit demand, extracted from GTA Model
0-D Generalized Journey Time, extracted from GTA Model
Journey time benefit for modelled time period (estimated by City Team directly in GTA
Model)
Outputs:
Overall Present Value (PV) of Journey Time Benefits
PV of Journey Time Benefits by income band (if time allows)
PV of Journey Time Benefits by travel time change band (if time allows)
Crowding Relief
The methodology for the estimation of crowding relief benefits will be developed within the first week
of the study.
The city's forecasting model (GTAModel) takes into account crowding in the assignment of passengers
to services. To do this, it includes crowding curves which work in a similar fashion to the table shown
1
Business Case Development Handbook Tier 2 v 0.31 , pg 29. Metrolinx.
C:\USERS\VL EUNG1\APPOATA\LOCALIM ICROSOFT\W INDOWSITEMPOAARY INT ERNE T FILES\CONTENT .OUTL OOK\IV32ClXL\20 16-0&02 FILENOTE ECONOMIC INDICAT ORS V2.DOCX
above; depending on the level of occupancy of the vehicles, multipliers are applied to the in-vehicle
time to represent users' dislike of crowding.
If possible, the average crowding 'cost' for travel between all 0-D pairs, as estimated by the model ,
will be extracted by City staff. This crowding cost, in minutes, will be monetized and the relative
change will be estimated for options in comparison with the base case.
If it's not possible to extract the crowding cost separately, this cost will be included in the Journey
Time Benefit. This is because the GT A Model estimates a perceived journey time that includes, in
addition to all the 'traditional' components of travel time (walk time, wait time, in-vehicle time and
transfer penalties), a crowding penalty that is calculated based on the number of passengers and the
capacity of the route.
Key inputs:
0-D transit demand, extracted from GTA Model
0-D crowding penalty time, extracted from GTA Model
Crowding relief benefit for modelled time period (estimated by City Team directly in GTA
Model)
Outputs:
Overall PV of Crowding Relief Benefits
Fare Savings will be estimated based on the change in fare paid by users to travel between zones and
the number of transit users travelling between them. The revenue impacts for operators will also be
calculated, to permit an understanding of the trade-off between user impacts and producer (operator)
finances.
Key inputs:
0-D transit demand, including demand generated by lower fare levels (for example)
0-D average fare
System-wide fare revenue
Key outputs
Overall PV of Crowding Relief Benefits
PV of Crowding Relief Benefits by income band (if time allows)

The improved connectivity that the transit projects are likely to bring has impacts on social equity, by
providing better, more affordable and ideally easier to use options to those who need it; as well as
impacts on the economy, by enabling better access to jobs for residents and increasing the size and
diversity of the labour-force available to existing or potential employers.
Access to Jobs
Access to labour-force
For the evaluation we will use existing and forecast jobs and population. An evaluation on existing
values helps visualize the impacts on figures that are known and highly reliable. The evaluation on
forecast values helps understand the impacts once changes in land use are taken into account; large
developments that don't exist today, for instance, would be (at least partly) taken into account in the
forecasts. Forecasts, however, have a significant component of uncertainty.
Access to Jobs will be measured for different sectors of the population across all of the GTHA and
statistics on relative changes with respect to the base scenario will be estimated.
The sectors of the population for which this will be done will be agreed with the Project team, but an
initial suggestion would be to aggregate by the following income bands, as suggested in Metrolinx's
draft guidance 2 :
Lowest 20th percentile
Middle 60th percentile
Top 20th percentile
For access to labour force we will estimate the changes in the number of people within an acceptable
travel time of key employment and development centers (to be agreed with the city Project Team) for
all scenarios against the base scenario.
Key inputs :
Existing jobs
Current population
Forecast jobs
Forecast population
Existing transit network (available in the accessibility toolkit)
Future transit network details

Overall Indicators
In addition to the individual indicators listed above, a Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) and Net Present
Value will be estimated for each project option. As has been mentioned previously, it should be noted
that the list of benefits assessed as part of this study is not exhaustive so direct comparisons with other
studies should be done with this consideration in mind.
The Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) is calculated as PVB/PVC, where PVB is the Present Value of
Benefits (the sum of the indicators listed above, including the impacts on the service provider) and
PVC is the Present Value of Costs of the project option, including capital and operating & maintenance
costs.
Thanks Felipe

Appreciate it. We're starting to write up section, and trying to make sure we don't misrepresent
information. Notes from you will be helpful.
Thanks
Karen
Hi Karen,
Yes, I agree, setting out the assumptions clearly is going to be very important. We've started putting something
together describing all the assumptions, parameters and base case definition.
We're starting to set it up as a set of tables, bullet points and possibly simple maps. It's kind of tricky because
there are assumptions that cover everything (e.g. all the economic parameters), then there are assumptions for
each base case and the scenarios evaluated against them, and finally there are assumptions for each individual
option.
We're thinking it may work best if we include this in the powerpoint file, as opposed to a written note, mainly
because a note could potentially become very confusing. Whereas if we split it into slides we think we might be
able to make it clearer. We'll sec how it looks a bit later today, and will forward you a first draft once we have
something so we can discuss.
For now, I'm sending you the powcrpoint file with the larger font size for the charts.
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Karen,

Hi Karen,
We calculated the incremental costs of SSE Express over McCowan 3 by subtracting the 'SSE 3 Stop Stacked'
costs from the 'SSE 1 stop Stacked' costs. (See highlighted rows in the attached spreadsheet)
And we understand these figures to be nominal costs so we adjusted for inflation assuming 2% per annum and a
then applied a discount rate of 3.5 % p.a.
Thanks Felipe.

Hi Peter,
We've reviewed the scope of work and have some minor suggested modifications (please see attached) . Additionally,
we'd like to note that given the very schedule, availability of input information, particularly estimates or assumptions of
costs and option descriptions, within the first days of the study is essential.
Ideally we' d like to get started as soon as possible so, if you agree, we would like to start liaising with the Project Team
this week to make sure we have a clear understanding of the options and agree and, when the time for the kick-off
meeting comes next week, we're able to discuss and agree a proposed evaluation framework.
Regarding the client side team, would you be the Project Manager? And would I be correct in assuming that the Project
Team will be made up of members of the Transit Implementation Team?

Hi Felipe
Thanks for the proposal submitted on March 19, 2016 to our City Planning Division (Tim Laspa). The City Manager's
Office is leading the coordination of business case development as it involves a number of city divisions and external
partners. We have developed a scope of work for the services required, and would appreciate your review . Given the
significant time constraints, we are looking to retain consulting services on an expedited basis to support the City's
business case development for a number of projects. In particular with focus on the economic case analysis. I
understand ARUP has significant experience in this area, and in particular utilizing the Metrolinx Business Case
Methodology, which the City is adopting.
If you could advise if ARUP is still in a position to support this work, it would be appreciated .
Sincerely,
Peter Notaro

1. Overview
The City is developing an initial business case for the following transit expansion projects:
Relief Line
Scarbrough Subway Extension ; and
Eglinton East LRT Extension
The City is also jointly working with Metrolinx on the initial business case for SmartTrack,
including Eglin ton LRT West extension.
More detailed descriptions and maps of the options for each transit expansion project will be
provided to the Consultant. The descriptions will include:
Infrastructure requirements and location
Route alignments
Stop locations
Operating speeds or times between stops
Headways
Associated surface transit changes
The business cases will be developed following the method described in the Metrolinx Business
Case Development Handbook (BCDH). The BCDH specifies that four components or 'cases '
make up the business case:
The Strategic Case;
The Financial Case;
The Economic Case; and
The Deliverability and Operations Case.
The City's Feeling Congested? Framework has been included within the Strategic Case of the
overall business case methodology . A business case template has been developed by the City and
will be shared with the consultant.
The business case development process will be led by the City Manager's Office, working in
partnershjp with City Planning, Corporate Finance, TIC, and Metrolinx. The City Manager's
Office will appoint a Project Manager for the project, who is the primary point of contact for the
Consultant. Meetings between the Consultant and the Project Teams will take place in person or
by phone bi-weekly, or more frequently as required, to address specific aspects of the analysis.
The Consultant will be responsible for carrying out technical work in support of the development
of specific components of the business case for each individual project. The deliverables
produced by the Consultant will be provided in a format appropriate for inclusion in the project
business cases. The City will be responsible for compiling all data into the final business case.
l of4
3. Consultant Deliverables
The primary role of the Consultant will be in the development of the Economic Cases for each of
the projects identified, in the followin g order of priority:
SmartTrack including Eglinton West LRT Extension (approx.. 3 options)
Scarborough Subway Extension (approx.7 options)
Relief Line (approx. 3 options)
Eglinton LRT East Extension (approx. 2 option s)
The Consultant will endeavor to complete the development of the Economic Cases for all options+- -- -{ Formatted: Report Text
~~~~~~----------------~
in the time available. following the above order of priority. however. it is understood that the
schedule is tight and it may not be possible to complete all options. The Consultant will develop
an approach to these cases in consultation with the Project Manager that is consistent with the
methodology for Economic Case development used by Metrolinx. The analysis will give priority
to 'big ticket items' with the objective of advancing. as much as possible, the economic cases of
the options.
The Consultant will also provide guidance to the Project Team in the development of the
Strategic Case, Financial Case and the Deliverability and Operations Cases. This guidance will
include conunents on the consistency of the City's approach, objectives, outputs and measures of
success with that typically followed by Metrolinx or its consultants in the completion of previous
business cases.
The Connectivity Calculator will be used to calculate transit accessibility for each of the options.
Arup will be responsible for creating a network that corresponds to each option to be tested, that
reflects the network assumptions used by the City in ridership modelling. The network will
include the intervention and any associated local street or transit connections. Parameters and
assumptions used in running the Connectivity Calculator, including but not limited to travel time
threshold, wait time weight, transfer penalty and demographic information will be determined in
consultation with the City.
I. Memorandum on the methodology and approach to developing the Economic Case for

Hi Peter,
Further to the email I sent you on Monday and following a conversation with Mike Logan in City Planning
(who Project Managed our work on the connectivity analysis a few months ago), I suggest we all have a call
first thing tomorrow (Thursday) to talk through the priorities for each business case in terms of the greatest
impacts/benefits.
It would also be great if you could share with us the latest list of options for each of the business cases, in
advance of tomorrow's call, if you're happy to go ahead with it.
The call and the options list will help us plan for how we will structure our work.
Thanks,
Felipe

Hi Peter,
We've reviewed the scope of work and have some minor suggested modifications (please see attached).
Additionally, we'd like to note that given the very schedule, availability of input information, particularly
estimates or assumptions of costs and option descriptions, within the first days of the study is essential.
Ideally we'd like to get started as soon as possible so, if you agree, we would like to start liaising with the
Project Team this week to make sure we have a clear understanding of the options and agree and, when the time
for the kick-off meeting comes next week, we're able to discuss and agree a proposed evaluation framework.
Regarding the client side team, would you be the Project Manager? And would I be correct in assuming that the
Project Team will be made up of members of the Transit Implementation Team?
Regards,
Felipe

Hi Peter,
Thank you for forwarding the scope of work. I can anticipate that we're still in a good position to do the work
and are ready to mobilize the team but we will review and will get back to you later today to let you know of
any concerns or comments.
Yes, we have been supporting Metrolinx for the last year and a half, working with them and Leeds University
on developing the Business Case Development Handbook. Amongst other work done as part of this contract,
we've developed the Accessibility Toolkit that will be used to help inform some of the benefits estimates for
the Transit Business Cases.

Hi Felipe
Thanks for the proposal submitted on March 19, 2016 to our City Planning Division (Tim Laspa). The City
Manager's Office is leading the coordination of business case development as it involves a number of city
divisions and external partners. We have developed a scope of work for the services required, and would
appreciate your review. Given the significant time constraints, we are looking to retain consulting services on
an expedited basis to support the City's business case development for a number of projects. In particular with
focus on the economic case analysis. I understand ARUP has significant experience in this area, and in
particular utilizing the Metrolinx Business Case Methodology, which the City is adopting.
If you could advise if ARUP is still in a position to support this work, it would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Peter Notaro

1. Overview
The City is developing an initial business case for the following transit expansion projects :
ReliefLine
Scarbrough Subway Extension; and
Eglinton East LRT Extension
The City is also jointly working with Metrolinx on the initial business case for SmartTrack,
including Eglinton LRT West extension.
More detailed descriptions and maps of the options for each transit expansion project will be
provided to the Consultant. The descriptions will include:
Infrastructure requirements and location
Route alignments
Stop locations
Operating speeds or times between stops
Headways
Associated surface transit changes
The business cases will be developed following the method described in the Metrolinx Business
Case Development Handbook (BCDH). The BCDH specifies that four components or 'cases'
make up the business case:
The Strategic Case;
The Financial Case;
The Economic Case; and
The Deliverability and Operations Case.
The City's Feeling Congested? Framework has been included within the Strategic Case of the
overall business case methodology. A business case template has been developed by the City and
will be shared with the consultant.
The business case development process will be led by the City Manager's Office, workin g in
partnership with City Planning, Corporate Finance, TIC, and Metrolinx. The City Manager's
Office will appoint a Project Manager for the project, who is the primary point of contact for the
Consultant. Meetings between the Consultant and the Project Teams will take place in person or
by phone bi-weekly, or more frequently as required, to address specific aspects of the ana lysis.
The Consultant will be responsible for carrying out technical work in support of the development
of specific components of the business case for each individual project. The deliverables
produced by the Consultant will be provided in a format appropriate for inclusion in the project
business cases. The City will be responsible for compi ling all data into the final business case.

Hi Felipe
Thanks for the proposal submitted on March 19, 2016 to our City Planning Division (Tim Laspa) . The City Manager's
Office is leading the coordination of business case development as it involves a number of city divisions and external
partners. We have developed a scope of work for the services required, and would appreciate your review. Given the
significant time constraints, we are looking to retain consulting services on an expedited basis to support the City's
business case development for a number of projects. In particular with focus on the economic case analysis. I
understand ARUP has significant experience in this area, and in particular utilizing the Metrolinx Business Case
Methodology, which the City is adopting.
If you could advise if ARUP is still in a position to support this work, it would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

It is envisaged that the estimation of Impacts will be based on outputs extracted from two
key sources:
GTAModel: Ridership and revenue forecasts, with runs undertaken by City staff
Accessibility Toolkit: Travel time impacts, with runs undertaken by Arup staff
At the end of May, work on Impacts estimates will stop and focus will turn to finalizing the
reporting to make sure that the outcomes that have been estimated are presented clearly
and concisely. This reporting will also include commentary to support the interpretation of
the results, as needed.
2 Assumptions
1. The transit interventions to be studied are, in the quoted lump sum fee for initial
work, limited to the following nine (9) interventions :
ECLRT East
ECLRT West
2. It is assumed that descriptions of the above listed transit interventions to be
assessed will be provided by the City team at the start of the study. The descriptions
shall include, for all interventions:
Frequency of service
3 Deliverables
Our proposal includes the following deliverables :
A note summarizing the outcomes of the analysis written in the form of a
memorandum, and provided in MS Word format with the ex ectation that City staff
will assemble a report to be submitted to the xecutive Committee and which will
include Business Case components developed directly by City staff (i.e. the
Strategic Case)
Tabular and graphical outputs produced as part of the analysis , including any
spreadsheet models and GIS layers produced as part of the study.
4 Schedule
The work is expected to be completed by the end of May 2016, with the date for
submission of the Report for the xecutive Committee by the 14th of June.
During the time of execution of the study, we propose the following milestones:
Results will be shared with the client team as soon as they become available to make sure
that work progresses fluidly.
5 Study Team
The proposed Arup team will include:
the Business Case Development Handbook. Additionally, Felipe has extensive experience
in accessibility analysis and modelling studies, including recent work undertaken for the
City of Toronto, and has been in charge of the development of Connectivity Analysis
Toolkit that will be used in the study.
. He is
currently acting as Peer Reviewer of the Business Case Development Handbook.
6 Fee Proposal
The upper limit fee for work undertaken within the timescales and methodology described
above, is of $97,112, excluding HST.
Any additional work would be agreed in advance and charged at the following hourly
rates:

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the updates/responses, we've started to incorporate the new information and will be ready to start
generating outputs from the Accessibility Model as soon as the base case assumptions are confirmed.
What I meant by "Strategic Model Outputs" was the information that' s coming out of the GTA Model that Michael and
his team are generating (i.e. travel time benefit, crowding benefit, fare savings, fare revenue and change in VKT). Sorry, I

Dear all,
Just a quick clarification question. With regards to population and employment forecasts, we'd agreed to use Low
population and Medium employment, however for each of these, there are forecasts for 'without SmartTrack', 'with
SmartT rack' and 'All Boats Rise'.
For the sake of simplicity of interpretation I'd suggest that we use the 'without SmartTrack' growth scenario for all
options, but we'd like to confirm that you all agree with this. The reason for using the without SmartTrack scenario
being that alternative growth scenarios for the other transit options don't exist (or haven't been made available) .

Felipe,
For consistency with our Travel Demand modelling, you'll need to use the "with SmartTrack" forecasts for all scenarios
that include ST. The only exception is the ST base network (with GO RER only), which should use the "w ithout
SmartTrack " forecast.

Hello Felipe,
Unfortunately, we were not able to finish extracting all of the travel time savings numbers. Attached are
what we have been able to pull so far and blank tables to show what we will fill in on Tuesday. I hope it
is enough to get you started .
I believe that once we have sent you a completed version of this table we will have sent you all of the
inputs you need from the Regional Travel Demand Model. VKT reductions and fare revenue were
included in the spreadsheet I sent you on Wednesday.
Please let me know if you think there are any other outstanding measures.

Hello Felipe,
Sorry, I didn't realize that you needed 2041 for your method too. We will pull those numbers as soon as we can but it
won't be today.
The Eglinton East LRT is only being proposed in the case of the Express subway being built, which is why the Express is
used in the base for that case.
. As a quick alternative, we also tested the LRT without changing any of the bus
routes. I haven't seen all of the numbers from those runs yet but they appear to move in a more logical way. We should
be able to send those to you with the completed spreadsheet for 2031.

Hi Michael,
We've updated our spreadsheet with your outputs (thanks again for sending them last week) and have a couple
of quick questions/comments:

The Eglinton East test is described as "Option C with Express with . ..", this is inconsistent with all the
other tests which have McCowan 3 as the base.
The results for Eglinton East 'Full LRT' look a little bit odd; essentially it makes things worse. The
'shortened LRT' option performs better which suggests to us that there could be something wrong with
how this option is set up in the model.

In the fall we calculated and reported access weighted by Neighbourhood Improvement Area. They may be an easier

Hi Kristin,
That was one of the outputs that we marked as 'if there's time' but there hasn't been time to do it yet. But once
we finalize the updated to the accessibility statistics we can work on that, if it's something you need.
Income data in census is only available at Census Tract level so it would be at that level of detail.
Let us know if this is a key number for you and we'll add it to our to-do list.

Thanks,

Here are the completed accessibility results. All scenarios show an benefit relative to their corresponding base
case subject to present population and employment. With future population and employment, the two scenarios
that focus on speed instead of coverage show a dis-benefit, likely due to intensification near the corridors'
potential stops.
Felipe - Can you advise as to when we will be able to see the accessibility results?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Ok, we can do that . Coding shouldn't take very long but we'll need to rerun the SmartTrack, Eglinton West and Relief
Line tests, which will take about 40hrs (computer time). We can generate numbers and maps (if needed) as each test is
completed, though.
Cheers,

We will need you to run the model assuming a 40 kph speed from Sheppard East to Kennedy for the 3-

Can you tell me where you got the 58 kph speed for McCowan 3?
I just talked this over with MH. We feel that we will likely need to re-run the McCowan-3 scenarios to
get numbers we are comfortable with. The McCowan-3 speed should be 40kph and Express should be
SOkph.
The travel time benefit is integral to the benefit of the Express subway over the 3-stop.
Overall, it looks like we won't be able to use the accessibility data in our public meetings coming up. Let
me know if you want to discuss.

Felipe,
Our assumptions for speed of the McCowan-3 are 40 kph, McCowan Express 50 kph .

Hi Mike,
SSE Express:
The speed that has been coded in the model for McCowan 3, which is based on the TTC
estimates that we got last December is of 58km/h (on average), which is faster than the 50km/h
assumption for the Express. In actual fact, there is very small disbenefit of about 45 seconds.
The benefits around the fringes of the area all result from changes to the buses assumed with
SSE Express.

Hi Mike,
To answer your fust two questions, yes, the 'region-wide' summary stats are estimated based on the gravity
function and they are weighted by DA population (at the origin end). We can add similar stats using the
absolute threshold. It'll take a few hours but it's not a problem.
With regards to the jobs decreasing in the future we've used 2011 jobs by Census Tract (used for the
accessibility analysis last Fall) and for the future years we used the data by TAZ that you sent us. We think the
reason why we see job reductions is that the different geographies result in slightly different aggregations when
we convert them to Dissemination Areas.
What we're doing now is to update the Base year numbers to use the 2011 jobs (and population) by TAZ. We
will send you the updated results as soon as they're available.
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Kristin, Mike,
We're currently working on the average people-people and people-jobs averages by NIA as requested by Mike earlier
and are recalculating the region-wide figures using the TAZ based 2011 employment and population .
Regarding catchment maps, my understanding was that they were needed for the public consultation but since there
were changes made to the speed in the base scenario there wasn't enough time to include them. So we haven't created
new ones but they can be generated if needed . It would take a few hours, though .

Mike is referring to these assumptions for use in EgE LRT. I've asked our TTC group to take a look at

will look like.
In follow up:
Attached are the confidential draft capital cost estimates for Eg E LRT. Password is the same as
last. We don't have O&M numbers for this project unfortunately.
City Planning is to provide the updated ridership numbers for you as soon as possible (Monday
morning latest?)
Set up a briefing to go through full results of economic case with key senior staff. I will look to get
a time set up for end of day Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Based on outcome of briefing we may consider whether additional analysis is required , based on
availability of other inputs, time and resources.

Felipe,
Our assumptions for speed of the McCowan-3 are 40 kph, McCowan Express 50 kph.
Mike
Hi Mike,
SSE Express:
The speed that has been coded in the model for McCowan 3, which is based on the TIC estimates that
we got last December is of 58km/h (on average), which is faster than the 50km/h assumption for the
Express . In actual fact, there is very small disbenefit of about 45 seconds. The benefits around the
fringes of the area all result from changes to the buses assumed with SSE Express.

Here are the completed accessibility results. All scenarios show an benefit relative to their corresponding base case
subject to present population and employment. With future population and employment, the two scenarios that focus
on speed instead of coverage show a dis-benefit, likely due to intensification near the corridors' potential stops.
Felipe- Can you advise as to when we will be able to see the accessibility results?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Ok, we can do that. Coding shouldn't take very long but we'll need to rerun the SmartTrack, Eglinton West and Relief
Line tests, which will take about 40hrs (computer time). We can generate numbers and maps (if needed) as each test is
completed, though .

Hi Mike,
To answer your first two questions, yes, the 'region-wide' summary stats are estimated based on the gravity function
and they are weighted by DA population (at the origin end) . We can add similar stats using the absolute threshold. It'll
take a few hours but it's not a problem.
With regards to the jobs decreasing in the future we've used 2011 jobs by Census Tract (used for the accessibility
analysis last Fall) and for the future years we used the data by TAZ that you sent us. We think the reason why we see job
reductions is that the different geographies result in slightly different aggregations when we convert them to
Dissemination Areas.
What we're doing now is to update the Base year numbers to use the 2011 jobs (and population) by TAZ. We will send
you the updated results as soon as they're available.

Hi Mike,
First transit catchment maps attached ... the remaining four will be with you soon.
Note that there are some interpolation artifacts that we'd need to mask in the Union Station maps (the green area in
the islands and on the lakeshore in Mississauga). These appear when the isochrones are created.
Felipe
I just spoke to Felipe on the phone about these maps, based on the first one you sent. To summarize, we've decided to
NOT show these access to jobs maps yet given that you have not had the chance to do your due diligence on the results.
We'll focus on the isochrones, and work on the access to jobs maps for our reporting in a few weeks.
Mike
Here is the first of the access to jobs maps. Let us know if there is something about the format that you would like to
change as we start generating the rest of the maps.
Since we're using absolute threshold, I think we should be consistent and use total jobs within the catchment.
Mike,
One further clarification question, for the incremental Access to Jobs maps would you like to base them on total jobs
within the catchments or 'factored' jobs (using the linear distance decay function)?
Hi Mike,
We should be able to produce these by the end of the day (but will try to have them done sooner), with the exception of
Eglinton East, which is still running.
Re Eglinton East, last night's run failed half-way through (at around 3:00am) so we lost a few hours; it's running again
now, and Eglinton East Opt 2 will be finished soon, but the Option 3 runs won't be done until later tonight.
Can you confirm which time periods you need these maps for? the AM Peak or All Day or both?
Assumptions:
Time estimated as 'elapsed time', i.e. no weightings or penalties, with the wait time capped at 30 minutes
Maximum walk time allowed = 15 minutes
Travel time thresholds:
o 45 minutes for 'absolute' catchment estimate
o 60 minutes for gravity catchment estimate, using linear function. (Factor= 1 at time =0, Factor 0 at time
= 60)
Cheers,
Felipe
Hi Felipe,
We are finalizing our public consultation materials and have a few urgent requests for you . We need these graphics
ASAP- today if at all possible - but I understand that you are still updating SSE Express scenarios, so please let me know
when you could provide .
1. lsochrones
SSE- showing difference in extent of travel from Scarborough Centre Station between Express and 3-stop (i.e.
base case)
Eglinton East LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from UTSC between LRT to UTSC and base case
Eglinton West LRT - showing difference in extent of travel from Pearson Airport between LRT and base case AND
showing difference extent of travel from MACC (Renforth Station) between LRT and base case
SmartTrack- showing difference in extent of travel from Union Station between Option C and base case AND
Option D and base case
Relief Line- showing difference in extent of travel from City Hall between Relief Line Queen-Eastern and base
case
2. Access to Jobs
We need maps showing the incremental access to jobs by dissemination area for each pair of scenarios
SSE- express v. 3-stop (i.e. base case)
Eglinton East LRT- LRT to UTSC v. base case
Eglinton West LRT- LRT v. base case
SmartT rack- Option C v. base case AND Option D v. base case
Relief Line- Queen -Eastern v. base case
Could you please also provide us with the following assumptions that you have made in your modelling?

running again now, and Eglinton East Opt 2 will be finished soon, but the Option 3 runs won't be done until
later tonight.
Can you confirm which time periods you need these maps for? the AM Peak or All Day or both?
Assumptions:
Time estimated as 'elapsed time', i.e. no weightings or penalties, with the wait time capped at 30
minutes
Maximum walk time allowed = 15 minutes
Travel time thresholds:
o 45 minutes for 'absolute' catchment estimate
o 60 minutes for gravity catchment estimate, using linear function. (Factor = 1 at time =0, Factor 0
at time= 60)

We are finalizing our public consultation materials and have a few urgent requests for you. We need these graphics
ASAP- today if at all possible - but I understand that you are still updating SSE Express scenarios, so please let me know
when you could provide.
1. lsochrones
SSE- showing difference in extent of travel from Scarborough Centre Station between Express and 3-stop (i.e.
base case)
Eglinton East LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from UTSC between LRT to UTSC and base case
Egl inton West LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from Pearson Airport between LRT and base case AND
showing difference extent of travel from MACC (Renforth Station) between LRT and base case
SmartT rack - showing difference in extent of travel from Union Station between Option C and base case AND
Option D and base case
Relief Line- showing difference in extent of travel from City Hall between Relief Line Queen-Eastern and base
case
2. Access to Jobs
We need maps showing the incremental access to jobs by dissemination area for each pair of scenarios
SSE- express v. 3-stop (i.e. base case)
Eglinton East LRT- LRT to UTSC v. base case
Eglinton West LRT- LRT v. base case
SmartTrack- Option C v. base case AND Option D v. base case
Relief Line- Queen-Eastern v. base case
Could you please also provide us with the following assumptions that you have made in your modelling?
Thanks,

A couple of things:
Can we crop the images to show generally the extent of the TIC subway system?
The dark green area in the legend should be referred to with proper names- e.g. "Relief Line" or "Scarborough
Subway Extension"
Refer to the light green option as the "No Relief Line" etc.
You've provided a map of ST C v. STD. It may be my fault, but we actually need ST C v. RER and ST D v. RER.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
First transit catchment maps attached .. . the remaining four will be with you soon.
Note that there are some interpolation artifacts that we'd need to mask in the Union Station maps (the green
area in the islands and on the lakeshore in Mississauga). These appear when the isocbrones are created.
Felipe
I just spoke to Felipe on the phone about these maps, based on the first one you sent. To summarize, we've decided to
NOT show these access to jobs maps yet given that you have not had the chance to do your due diligence on the results.
We'll focus on the isochrones, and work on the access to jobs maps for our reporting in a few weeks.
Here is the first of the access to jobs maps. Let us know if there is something about the format that you would
like to change as we start generating the rest of the maps.
Since we're using absolute threshold, I think we should be consistent and use total jobs within the catchment.
Mike,
One further clarification question, for the incremental Access to Jobs maps would you like to base them on total
jobs within the catchments or 'factored' jobs (using the linear distance decay function)?
Hi Mike,
We should be able to produce these by the end of the day (but will try to have them done sooner), with the
exception of Eglin ton East, which is still running.
Can you confirm which time periods you need these maps for? the AM Peak or All Day or both?

The access to Pearson maps don't really work with the data we've generated because of the location of the DA centroid
right in the middle of the Airport (and a long way away from the nearest transit stop). We could generate a matrix of
transit times to a node located at the terminal over the weekend and use that for mapping instead.
And we're checking the Eglinton West to Renforth now before we send it over.
Let us know your thoughts on these and once we have your suggested amendments we'll tidy them up (legends,
perhaps zoom in a bit, etc)

Our assumptions for speed of the McCowan-3 are 40 kph, McCowan Express 50 kph.
Mike
Hi Mike,
SSE Express:
The speed that has been coded in the model for McCowan 3, which is based on the TTC estimates that we got
last December is of 58km/h (on average), which is faster than the 50km/h assumption for the Express. In actual
fact, there is very small disbenefit of about 45 seconds. The benefits around the fringes of the area all result
from changes to the buses assumed with SSE Express.

Hi Felipe,
We are finalizing our public consultation materials and have a few urgent requests for you. We need these graphics
ASAP- today if at all possible- but I understand that you are still updating SSE Express scenarios, so please let me know
when you could provide.
1. lsochrones
SSE- showing difference in extent of travel from Scarborough Centre Station between Express and 3-stop (i.e.
base case)
Eglinton East LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from UTSC between LRT to UTSC and base case
Eglinton West LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from Pearson Airport between LRT and base case AND
showing difference extent of travel from MACC (Renforth Station) between LRT and base case
SmartTrack- showing difference in extent of travel from Union Station between Option C and base case AND
Option D and base case
Relief Line- showing difference in extent of travel from City Hall between Relief Line Queen-Eastern and base
case
2. Access to Jobs
We need maps showing the incremental access to jobs by d,issemination area for each pair of scenarios
SSE- express v. 3-stop (i.e. base case)
Eglinton East LRT- LRT to UTSC v. base case
Eglinton West LRT- LRT v. base case
SmartTrack- Option C v. base case AND Option D v. base case
Relief Line- Queen-Eastern v. base case

Thanks,
Hi Karen,
And to update you on my availability the rest of the week, as I mentioned the other day
Felipe
Thanks Felipe .
I'll review.
Mike's team has found a potential error in the assumptions which is impacting the RL numbers. They are testing it and
should know by this afternoon. I will give you an update in a couple of hours on tim ing to receive info.
Hi Karen,
We haven't received any new outputs from the model runs that the Planning guys are working on, so in the meantime
I'm sending you the summary slides, now including additional information with assumptions. Please have a look and let
us know if this helps or if there's any additional information (or any changes) that could help you better explain the
assumptions.
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Karen,
To keep you in the loop (in case you haven't been updated by the Planning team) regarding options, model runs, etc.,
Kristin Olson mentioned this morning that new model runs will be needed (for both the demand model and the
accessibility model) because of adjustments made to the speed assumptions for the SSE Express (now assumed to run at
50km/h) .
Cheers,
Felipe
PS : Our office leader has been out yesterday and today so I haven't been able to get his signature for the LOA. I think we
should be able to catch him tomorrow, and as soon as we have the signed copies I'll send them over.

Yes, we will be producing updated tables. They should be ready mid-day tomorrow.
M.
Thanks for making this change. Yes, the GTA model has already been run (over last night) to reflect this speed change
for the SSE Express options.
Michael- can you send Felipe/Ana the updated tables they need for the economic benefits work?
Mike
Hi Kristin,
Sure, we can do that. The coding shouldn't take very long, not more than one hour, but run time would be about 24
hours (3 scenarios x 2 time periods x 4 hours per run), plus perhaps another hour or so of post-processing time .
So starting right now, if all goes well, we should have results for the SSE and Eglinton East LRT with the express section
of the subway running at SOkm/h by around lunchtime tomorrow.
Cheers,
Felipe
PS : Will the GTA Model be run again with these changes? Or actually my question would be, should we be expecting
revised numbers for the economic benefits estimation for the three scenarios that include SSE Express?
Hi Felipe,
Just left you a voicemail about correcting the speed coded for SSE and re-running the model.
It's an urgent request (of course!)
When do you think we might be able to get new numbers?

Hi Mike,
Attached are updated versions of all the maps, plus the UTSC and Pearson maps that were pending. We should
have a bit of tomorrow morning for some minor changes, if needed , so please let us know if there are any
further adjustments to make.
Cheers,
Felipe
I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to look at these in detail last evening. We'll have until noon on Monday to
get them on to our panels for public consultation.
First, we're missing maps centred on UTSC showing the impacts of the Eglinton East LRT and centred on GTAA
showing impacts of Eglinton West LRT.

Hi Mike,
I think it would help if you gave us the description you'd like to include in the 'base' for each map Uust take
into account that there's a 20 character limit for the items in the map legend, though)
A couple of things :
Can we crop the images to show generally the extent of the TIC subway system?
The dark green area in the legend should be referred to with proper names- e.g. "Relief Line" or "Scarborough
Subway Extension"
Refer to the light green option as the "No Relief Line" etc.
You've provided a map of ST C v. STD. It may be my fault, but we actually need ST C v. RER and ST D v. RER.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Note that there are some interpolation artifacts that we'd need to mask in the Union Station maps (the green
area in the islands and on the lakeshore in Mississauga). These appear when the isochrones are created.
Felipe
I just spoke to Felipe on the phone about these maps, based on the first one you sent. To summarize, we've decided to
NOT show these access to jobs maps yet given that you have not had the chance to do your due diligence on the results.
We'll focus on the isochrones, and work on the access to jobs maps for our reporting in a few weeks.
Mike
Here is the first of the access to jobs maps. Let us know if there is something about the format that you would
like to change as we start generating the rest of the maps.
Since we're using absolute threshold, I think we should be consistent and use total jobs within the catchment.
One further clarification question, for the incremental Access to Jobs maps would you like to base them on total
jobs within the catchments or 'factored' jobs (using the linear distance decay function)?
Hi Mike,
We should be able to produce these by the end of the day (but will try to have them done sooner), with the
exception of Eglinton East, which is still running.
Re Eglinton East, last night's run failed half-way through (at around 3:00am) so we lost a few hours; it's
running again now, and Eglinton East Opt 2 will be finished soon, but the Option 3 runs won't be done until
later tonight.
Can you confirm which time periods you need these maps for? the AM Peak or All Day or both?
Assumptions:
Time estimated as 'elapsed time', i.e. no weightings or penalties, with the wait time capped at 30 minutes
Maximum walk time allowed = 15 minutes
Travel time thresholds:
o 45 minutes for 'absolute' catchment estimate
o 60 minutes for gravity catchment estimate, using linear function. (Factor = 1 at time =0, Factor 0
at time= 60)
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Michael,
I wonder if there's something odd in the SSE Express model; ridership numbers are a bit higher for the new run but
everything else seems to have gotten worse (mode share and revenue are down, car VKTs are higher).
Could something have gone wrong when extracting the outputs from the model?
Hello Felipe,
These are updated numbers for the Express SSE. We will get the travel time savings calculations to you as soon as we
can.

Hi guys,
Sorry, it seems I can't count. .. All8 runs should be complete at around midnight of Thursday, so we will be
able to get you all the results on Friday morning.
Felipe
Ok, we will set the runs without ST runs now and will start the with ST runs on Friday. They runs will take 16
hours to complete so they should probably finish at some point overnight. We can process them on the weekend
and send them over.
Felipe
We would like the without SmartTrack runs as soon as possible (which sounds like Friday morning). How soon
after that can you get us the with SmartTrack runs? (Isn't it 8 runs in total?)
Thanks,
M.
Hi Michael,
I'm afraid both Ana and I will be unavailable on Thursday (and this afternoon) so, even though the runs would
be faster we'd only be able to get you the results on Friday morning. So it would be either half the runs on
Friday morning or all four runs on Friday afternoon. Let us know what you prefer.
Felipe
Hello Felipe,
We are only interested in the Bl and B2 options for now. If you run the without ST options first could you get
those to us tomorrow instead of Friday?
Thanks,
M.
Hi all ,
The Relief Line options we've tested are consistent with what in the pdf are labelled as B 1 and B2, but there are
a few more options there.
Is the idea to only update what we have (i.e. redo B1 and B2) or do you want us to code and run the other
options too?
Redoing Bl and B2 should be fairly quick to code and would take about 32 hours to run (2 options x 2 time
periods x 2 base cases (with/without ST Opt C) x -4hrs/run) plus about another 2 hours of post-processing. So,
assuming computers cooperate we'd have results to share with you by Friday afternoon.
We haven't tested the other options before so they'd need to be coded from scratch, which would take longer
(maybe 2-3 hours to code, plus the additional run time).
Please advise,
Felipe

Hello Felipe,
We have gone back to the original station to station travel time assumptions for the Relief Line for the portion
south of Danforth (attached, sorry for the scan). You might have these from the first time you calculated
accessibility numbers for us. The travel time assumptions for north of Danforth have not changed from what we
have sent you most recently.
We are shifting the station location in Emme to more correctly reflect its currently planned location north of
Danforth Ave.
Hi Karen,
Ok, sounds good. We'll make the changes and set the runs as soon as we get the assumption updates.
Thanks,
Felipe
Hi Felipe
We will have new numbers for the accessibility calculator. Mike Wehkind copied will be
sending an email with the updated assumptions on the RL headways.
Thanks

C ;!nforth (attached, sorry for the scan). You might have these from the first time you calculated accessibility numbers
fGr us. The travel time assumptions for north of Danforth have not changed from what we have sent you most recently.
' o.Ne are shifting the station location in Emme to more correctly reflect its currently planned location north of Danforth
Ave.
Hi Karen,
Ok, sounds good. We'll make the changes and set the runs as soon as we get the assumption updates.
Thanks,
Felipe
Hi Felipe
We will have new numbers for the accessibility calculator. Mike Wehkind copied will be
sending an email with the updated assumptions on the RL head ways.
Thanks

Thanks Michael,
We'll set thi s up to run as soon as possible and will give you a call if any questions come up.

Hi all,
The Relief Line options we've tested are consistent with what in the pdf are labelled as B 1 and B2, but there are
a few more options there.
Is the idea to only update what we have (i.e. redo Bl and B2) or do you want us to code and run the other
options too?
Redoing B 1 and B2 should be fairly quick to code and would take about 32 hours to run (2 options x 2 time
periods x 2 base cases (with/without ST Opt C) x -4hrs/run) plus about another 2 hours of post-processing. So,
assuming computers cooperate we'd have results to share with you by Friday afternoon.
We haven ' t tested the other options before so they'd need to be coded from scratch, which would take longer
(maybe 2-3 hours to code, plus the additional run time).
Please advise,
Felipe

Hi Michael,
I'm afraid both Ana and I will be unavailable on Thursday (and this afternoon) so, even though the runs would
be faster we' d only be able to get you the results on Friday morning. So it would be either half the runs on
Friday morning or all four runs on Friday afternoon. Let us know what you prefer.

Hi Mike,
No worries, since we were setting up networks and runs we didn't need the data yet. But we will need it this week to
start generating results.
Cheers,

I'll ask our Strategic Initiatives folks for the projection data. Sorry that has not happened yet. You'll need to sign a data
usage agreement much like you did back in December.

Hi Mike,
All nine scenarios (base+ eight options) were run over the weekend for the AM peak and All Day and we've started
reviewing results; based on a first inspection they look reasonable. We can prepare maps to show access to population
and/or jobs for you to review. We could circulate first drafts of these by end of tomorrow.
We will be working on setting up the calculations to give us 'region-wide' statistics for access to employment and labour
force (described in the methodology note) so that we can do the calculations towards the end of the week.
Cheers,
Felipe
Hi Felipe,
Can you please let me know how the accessibility modelling is going, and when we can expect to see draft results?

Hi Felipe,
We are finalizing our public consultation materials and have a few urgent requests for you . We need these graphics
ASAP- today if at all possible - but I understand that you are still updating SSE Express scenarios, so please let me know
when you could provide.
1. lsochrones
SSE- showing difference in extent of travel from Scarborough Centre Station between Express and 3-stop (i.e.
base case)
Eglinton East LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from UTSC between LRT to UTSC and base case
Eglinton West LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from Pearson Airport between LRT and base case AND
showing difference extent of travel from MACC (Renforth Station) between LRT and base case
SmartTrack- showing difference in extent of travel from Union Station between Option C and base case AND
Option D and base case
Relief Line- showing difference in extent of travel from City Hall between Relief Line Queen-Eastern and base
case
2. Access to Jobs
We need maps showing the incremental access to jobs by dissemination area for each pair of scenarios
SSE- express v. 3-stop (i.e. base case)
Eglinton East LRT- LRT to UTSC v. base case
Eglinton West LRT- LRT v. base case
SmartT rack- Option C v. base case AND Option D v. base case
Relief Line- Queen-Eastern v. base case
Could you please also provide us with the following assumptions that you have made in your modelling?
Thanks,
Karen Thorburn
Ok, yes, looking at the GO and TIC revenues and the VKTs, it does suggest that what could be happening is that the
faster subway is making a park & ride TIC trip more attractive than a GO trip.
And I just realized I was reading the mode share number as a transit mode share, so a reduction is actually a good thing.
Overall, though, in economic terms, the speed increase still makes things worse than with the slower test, because of
the increase in VKT and the reduced total revenue.
Interesting stuff.
Hello Felipe,
We double checked the numbers and they appear correct. The revenue decrease makes sense since the change was an
increase in the speed of a lower cost option . The non-revenue shifts look very small to us.
M.
Hi Michael,
I wonder if there's something odd in the SSE Express model; ridership numbers are a bit higher for the new run but
everything else seems to have gotten worse (mode share and revenue are down, car VKTs are higher).
Could something have gone wrong when extracting the outputs from the model?
Hello Felipe,
These are updated numbers for the Express SSE. We will get the travel time savings calculations to you as soon as we
can.

Yes, I agree, the bus route changes will need to be reviewed. However, the fact that the results are so dependent on the
buses suggests to me that the economic case for Eglinton East is not very robust
Cheers,
Felipe
Hello Felipe,
Here are the travel time savings calculations. I think the numbers for the Eglinton East LRT confirm that we need to
reconsider the associated bus route changes.

There' s another set of tables that Michael has sent us before which include a summary of total VKTs and fare revenues
(files called "Business Case Output June xx 2016"), would you be able to send me those too, please?
For the 'to Sheppard' option I see in the spreadsheet we have only 2041 results. Will you be sending new numbers for
2031 for that option or should we just leave the numbers Michael sent us a few days ago?

Apologies for the slight delay! Attached is the VKTs and fare revenues tables that you asked for. We will call shortly to
discuss!

Hi Tr~jce,
Sorry, got confused there. From a few days ago we only have 2041 numbers for the RL to Sheppard so we will
need 2031 numbers, or an assumption of growth between the two years, to be able to estimate the benefits.

This attachment includes draft numbers for the Relief Line extension up to Sheppard and for the small J without

As usual, let me know if you have any questions,

Hi Mike,
Attached are updated versions of all the maps, plus the UTSC and Pearson maps that were pending. We should
have a bit of tomorrow morning for some minor changes, if needed, so please let us know if there are any
further adjustments to make.
Cheers,
Felipe
I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to look at these in detail last evening. We'll have until noon on Monday to
get them on to our panels for public consultation.
First, we're missing maps centred on UTSC showing the impacts of the Eglinton East LRT and centred on GTAA
showing impacts of Eglinton West LRT.
Scarborough Centre:
Title OK
Light Green : With 3-stop Subway
Dark Green: With Express Subway

Hi Mike,
I think it would help if you gave us the description you ' d like to include in the 'base' for each map Gust take
into account that there's a 20 character limit for the items in the map legend, though)
A couple of things:
Can we crop the images to show generally the extent of the TIC subway system?
The dark green area in the legend should be referred to with proper names - e.g. "Relief Line" or "Scarborough
Subway Extension"
Refer to the light green option as the "No Relief Line" etc.
You 've provided a map of ST C v. STD. It may be my fault, but we actually need ST C v. RER and ST D v. RER.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Note that there are some interpolation artifacts that we'd need to mask in the Union Station maps (the green
area in the islands and on the lakeshore in Mississauga). These appear when the isochrones are created.
Felipe
I just spoke to Felipe on the phone about these maps, based on the first one you sent. To summarize, we've decided to
NOT show these access to jobs maps yet given that you have not had the chance to do your due diligence on the results.
We'll focus on the isochrones, and work on the access to jobs maps for our reporting in a few weeks.
Mike
Here is the first of the access to jobs maps. Let us know if there is something about the format that you would
like to change as we start generating the rest of the maps.
Since we're using absolute threshold, I think we should be consistent and use total jobs within the catchment.
One further clarification question, for the incremental Access to Jobs maps would you like to base them on total
jobs within the catchments or 'factored' jobs (using the linear distance decay function)?
Hi Mike,
We should be able to produce these by the end of the day (but will try to have them done sooner), with the
exception of Eglinton East, which is still running.
Re Eglinton East, last night's run failed half-way through (at around 3:00am) so we lost a few hours; it's
running again now, and Eglinton East Opt 2 will be finished soon, but the Option 3 runs won't be done until
later tonight.
Can you confirm which time periods you need these maps for? the AM Peak or All Day or both?
Assumptions:
Time estimated as 'elapsed time', i.e. no weightings or penalties, with the wait time capped at 30 minutes
Maximum walk time allowed= 15 minutes
Travel time thresholds:
o 45 minutes for 'absolute' catchment estimate
o 60 minutes for gravity catchment estimate, using linear function. (Factor = 1 at time =0, Factor 0
at time= 60)
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Felipe,
We are finalizing our public consultation materials and have a few urgent requests for you. We need these graphics
ASAP- today if at all possible - but I understand that you are still updating SSE Express scenarios, so please let me know
when you could provide.
1. lsochrones
SSE- showing difference in extent of travel from Scarborough Centre Station between Express and 3-stop (i.e .
base case)
Eglinton East LRT- showing difference in extent of travel from UTSC between LRT to UTSC and base case
Eglinton West LRT - showing difference in extent of travel from Pearson Airport between LRT and base case AND
showing difference extent of travel from MACC (Renforth Station) between LRT and base case
SmartTrack- showing difference in extent of travel from Union Station between Option C and base case AND
Option D and base case
Relief Line- showing difference in extent of travel from City Hall between Relief Line Queen-Eastern and base case
2. Access to Jobs
We need maps showing the incremental access to jobs by dissemination area for each pair of scenarios
SSE- express v. 3-stop (i.e. base case)
Eglinton East LRT- LRT to UTSC v. base case
Eglinton West LRT- LRT v. base case
SmartTrack- Option C v. base case AND Option D v. base case
Relief Line- Queen -Eastern v. base case
Could you please also provide us with the following assumptions that you have made in your modelling?
Thanks,
Karen Thorburn
Hello Felipe,
I've attached a spreadsheet with several of the inputs you need for the business cases. We are still working on pulling
out the different components of travel time savings (actual time, congestion, fare) and should be able to send them to
you by the end of the week.
The vectors and matrices you requested for plotting the distribution of benefits and the size of the benefits are being
exported at the same time. We will let you know if they are too big to upload.

Felipe,
Attached are the most up-to-date travel time savings for the Relief Line, for both 2031 and 2041 . Note that this doesn't
include SmartTrack. Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Hi Felipe,
Thanks for the meeting today. It was very useful to start getting an understand of what the outputs
will look like.
In follow up:
Attached are the confidential draft capital cost estimates for Eg E LAT. Password is the same as
last. We donlt have O&M numbers for this project unfortunately.
City Planning is to provide the updated ridership numbers for you as soon as possible (Monday
morning latest?)
Set up a briefing to go through full results of economic case with key senior staff. I will look to get
a time set up for end of day Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Based on outcome of briefing we may consider whether additional analysis is required, based on
availability of other inputs, time and resources.

Here are the completed accessibility results. All scenarios show an benefit relative to their corresponding base case
subject to present population and employment. With future population and employment, the two scenarios that focus
on speed instead of coverage show a dis-benefit, likely due to intensification near the corridors' potential stops.
Felipe- Can you advise as to when we will be able to see the accessibility results?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Ok, we can do that. Coding shouldn't take very long but we'll need to rerun the SmartTrack, Eglinton West and Relief
line tests, which will take about 40hrs (computer time). We can generate numbers and maps (if needed) as each test is
completed, though.
Cheers,
Felipe
TTC has updated their assumptions as I described: 40 kph for 3 stop, 50 kph for express.
I have attached the email outlining these assumptions produced by Gary Carr of TTC last week.
Mike
Hi Mike,
We did a little bit more digging and in the model the speed works out to be closer to 52km/h (we code
times, not speeds). The times we used come from the attached TTC tables.
Cheers,
Felipe

Can you tell me where you got the 58 kph speed for McCowan 3?
I just talked this over with MH. We feel that we will likely need to re~run the McCowan-3 scenarios to
get numbers we are comfortable with. The McCowan-3 speed should be 40kph and Express should be
SOkph.
The travel time benefit is integral to the benefit of the Express subway over the 3-stop.
Overall, it looks like we won't be able to use the accessibility data in our public meetings coming up. Let
me know if you want to discuss.
Mike
Felipe,
Our assumptions for speed of the McCowan-3 are 40 kph, McCowan Express 50 kph.
Mike
Hi Mike,
SSE Express:
The speed that has been coded in the model for McCowan 3, which is based on the TIC estimates that
we got last December is of 58km/h (on average), which is faster than the SOkm/h assumption for the
Express. In actual fact, there is very small disbenefit of about 45 seconds. The benefits around the
fringes of the area all result from changes to the buses assumed with SSE Express.

Hi Mike,
Attached are updated versions of all the maps, plus the UTSC and Pearson maps that were pending. We should
have a bit of tomorrow morning for some minor changes, if needed, so please let us know if there are any
further adjustments to make.
Cheers,
Felipe
I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to look at these in detail last evening. We'll have until noon on Monday to
get them on to our panels for public consultation.
First, we're missing maps centred on UTSC showing the impacts of the Eglin ton East LRT and centred on GTAA
showing impacts of Eglinton West LRT.

Hi Mike,
I think it would help if you gave us the description you'd like to include in the 'base' for each map (just take
into account that there's a 20 character limit for the items in the map legend, though)
A couple of things:
Can we crop the images to show generally the extent of the TIC subway system?
The dark green area in the legend should be referred to with proper names- e.g. "Relief Line" or "Scarborough
Subway Extension"
Refer to the light green option as the "No Relief Line" etc.
You've provided a map of ST C v. STD. It may be my fault, but we actually need ST C v. RER and ST D v. RER.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Note that there are some interpolation artifacts that we'd need to mask in the Union Station maps (the green
area in the islands and on the lakeshore in Mississauga). These appear when the isochrones are created.
Felipe
I just spoke to Felipe on the phone about these maps, based on the first one you sent. To summarize, we've decided to
NOT show these access to jobs maps yet given that you have not had the chance to do your due diligence on the results.
We'll focus on the isochrones, and work on the access to jobs maps for our reporting in a few weeks.
Mike
Here is the first of the access to jobs maps. Let us know if there is something about the format that you would
like to change as we start generating the rest of the maps.
Since we're using absolute threshold, I think we should be consistent and use total jobs within the catchment.
One further clarification question, for the incremental Access to Jobs maps would you like to base them on total
jobs within the catchments or 'factored' jobs (using the linear distance decay function)?
Hi Mike,
We should be able to produce these by the end of the day (but will try to have them done sooner), with the
exception of Eglin ton East, which is still running.
Re Eglinton East, last night's run failed half-way through (at around 3:00am) so we lost a few hours; it's
running again now, and Eglinton East Opt 2 will be finished soon, but the Option 3 runs won't be done until
later tonight.
Can you confirm which time periods you need these maps for? the AM Peak or All Day or both?
Assumptions:
Time estimated as 'elapsed time', i.e. no weightings or penalties, with the wait time capped at 30 minutes
Maximum walk time allowed = 15 minutes
Travel time thresholds:
o45 minutes for 'absolute' catchment estimate
o 60 minutes for gravity catchment estimate, using linear function. (Factor= 1 at time =0, Factor 0
at time= 60)

Felipe

The access to Pearson maps don't really work with the data we've generated because of the location of the DA centroid
right in the middle of the Airport (and a long way away from the nearest transit stop). We could generate a matrix of
transit times to a node located at the terminal over the weekend and use that for mapping instead.
And we're checking the Eglinton West to Renforth now before we send it over.
Let us know your thoughts on these and once we have your suggested amendments we'll tidy them up (legends,
perhaps zoom in a bit, etc)

Hi Felipe,
Thanks for the meeting today. It was very useful to start getting an understand of what the outputs
will look like.
In follow up:
Attached are the confidential draft capital cost estimates for Eg E LRT. Password is the same as
last. We dont have O&M numbers for this project unfortunately.
City Planning is to provide the updated ridership numbers for you as soon as possible (Monday
morning latest?)
Set up a briefing to go through full results of economic case with key senior staff. I will look to get
a time set up for end of day Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Based on outcome of briefing we may consider whether additional analysis is required. based on
availability of other inputs, time and resources.

Hi Hilary,
As promised, please find attached a draft version of the proposal letter (including the fee estimate) for a first review. Please let me know if it covers
what you were expecting.
While you review we will go through our internal approval process so that I can hopefully be able to send you a final version, together with an
agreed scope of work on Tuesday.

Hi Hilary,
Attached is a slightly modified version of the scope of work. Generally speaking, the work looks fine, I would only suggest we extend the timescales
a little bit (to 8 weeks, but I think we could start giving you results by around week 4), if that works for you. The rest of the adjustments are on the
wording.
I'll start estimating a budget for the work and will finalize it once we agree the scope. I should be able to get you an initial estimate tomorrow so we
can start talking about that too.
For the fee proposal I will set up a short proposal letter including a brief description of the methodology, proposed team, rates and total fee and we
can attach to it the agreed ~cope of work.
Thanks,
Felipe
PS: Yes. it would be great to work together on defining the specified analysis areas. I will mention that in the methodology section.

Yes Tuesday would be good for a final quote as I realize your internal sign off procedures. The sooner the better really. If you have any questions on the draft
scope perhaps we can do some too-ing and fro-ing over the next couple of days. We can help define the areas we specify, for example we have GIS layers for
NIAs.
Hilary
We'll have something for you probably around Tuesday, if that's ok.
Hi Felipe
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been figuring out how to procure this.
I am filling in the paperwork for a non-competitive procurement. To complete this I need for you:
1. To review the above draft scope and provide comment
2. To provide me with a quote for an agreed scope
3. To provide me with the details of the work done for Metrolinx at the kickoff of Within Reach that showed that there
were no pre-existing tools available to undertake this advanced connectivity analysis.
Thank Felipe

Hi Hilary,
It was good to see you last week. Thanks for inviting us to come over to talk about 'WithinReach', it was good to meet
the team you ' re working with. Looks like you guys are extremely busy!
Anyway, just a quick note to reiterate that if you or Tim have more specific ideas as to what analyses you need, let me
know and we can set up some examples of how the 'WithinReach' tools might help.
Cheers,
Felipe

Hi Hilary,
Good to hear from you! I hope everything's going well at the city and that you're now settled in.
Sounds very interesting, I'm busy but I can make time to be there today at 4pm. Just let me know where to find you and I'll be
there.
I can bring a couple of slides we prepared for the Arup event a few weeks ago and I can talk to the team about how it works and
what it could be used for.
Thanks,
Felipe
Hi Felipe
There is great interest here in Within Reach. If the City were to use it, the need is urgent.
We would need to look at all purchasing options ie leasing/buying or getting Arup to do the work.
Don't suppose you might be free at 4pm today to come in and present it to the team here?
Hope all is well with you guys

Dear Hilary,
Following our conversation held on Wednesday 19 August, please find below our proposal
for the Analysis of Accessibility Impacts of various transit improvements in the City of
Toronto.
Study Objective
The objective of the study is to undertake a location and network impacts analysis of a set
of proposed transit improvements.
A Transit Network Builder, which allows the user to set up transit networks to be
used in the analysis. It uses General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) files, the
format used by Google Maps, as an input to generate an initial network and
subsequently combines this with manual coded interventions.
The first, and most labour intensive, part of the work will be the coding of the
transportation interventions to be tested. This will involve the manual coding of the
services that make up the intervention, including their stopping patterns, services
frequencies, operating speeds, etc. as well as the modifications to be done to other services
that may be adjusted or removed.
Once all services are coded we will proceed to group them into the ten scenarios specified
in the Scope of Work (please see attachment) and will run the Accessibility Calculator. In
this case we envisage that the key locations that have been specified will be set as the
origins and City of Toronto census dissemination areas will be used as destinations. This
way we will obtain three key outputs:
a matrix of values with the journey times between all key sites and all Census
Dissemination Areas;
the number of people within an acceptable journey time of each key destination;
and
Deliverables
Our proposal includes the following deliverables:
The three key outputs described above, for each scenario in a format that is usable
by City Staff (csv, dbf or xlsx)
A geographic layer with all the points used in the analysis
A short imerpretation of results note
Schedule
The study will be carried out in eight weeks, with the following milestones:
Weekly: Short email-based update on progress
Bi-weekly: one hour meeti ng with City Project Manager to discuss progress and any issues
that may have arisen
Week 4 : First set of results for discussion with City Project Manager
Weeks 4- 8: Delivery of results for all scenarios
Study Team
The proposed Arup team will include:
Fee Proposal
The lump sum fee for the work described above is of $28,256, excluding HST. Any
additional work would be agreed in advance and charged at the following hourly rates:
Grade Hourly rate (exc. HST)

Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated powerpoint file with the summary results of the economic assessment of all tested options, now including the latest
model outputs provided by the City Planning team last night and this morning.
In addition to the changes made to the relief line options, there is a very small change in the Eglinton East LRT numbers that result from adjusting
the assumed opening year to 2025, in line with the assumption for SSE Express. The NPV and BCR for Eglinton East don't change as a result of this.
In the interest of time we have not yet updated the sensitivity test charts that are included in the last couple of slides. But please let me know if you'll
need them and we will update and forward those too.
Cheers,
Felipe

Strategic Case: Is a project is supported by a robust case for change that fits
with wider public policy objectives?
Economic Case: Can it be demonstrated that the project shows good
value for money?
Financial Case: Is the project financially affordable?
Deliverability and Operations Case: Is the project achievable?

Impacts considered should include all impacts which have an effect on societal welfare,
including:
- User benefits (e.g. Travel time savings, travel cost savings, crowding relief, travel time
reliability, etc.)
- Financial impacts (e.g. fare revenue)
- External impacts (e.g. Road decongestion, emissions reductions, accident prevention, etc.)
- Economic development impacts (e.g. Agglomeration, indirect tax revenue, land value uplift,
etc)
- Social and community impacts (e.g. Accessibility and distributional impacts)
6 AWP
Notes:
Monetization of user benefits is based on the concept of 'consumer surplus' which is essentially what a user would be willing to pay for a
service and what it actually costs- benefits (or disbenefits) are the change in consumer surplus between the option and a 'do-minimum'
BCR and NPV are estimated for a 60yr evaluation period, using Metrolinx recommended values for economic parameters such as discount
rates, inflation, etc. (details provided in the next slide)

Hi Karen,
Yes, I agree, setting out the assumptions clearly is going to be very important. We've started putting something together describing all the
assumptions, parameters and base case definition.
We're starting to set it up as a set of tables, bullet points and possibly simple maps. It's kind of tricky because there are assumptions that cover
everything (e.g. all the economic parameters), then there are assumptions for each base case and the scenarios evaluated against them, and finally
there are assumptions for each individual option.
We're thinking it may work best if we include this in the powerpoint file, as opposed to a written note, mainly because a note could potentially
become very confusing. Whereas if we split it into slides we think we might be able to make it clearer. We'll see how it looks a bit later today, and
will forward you a first draft once we have something so we can discuss.
For now, I'm sending you the powerpoint file with the larger font size for the charts.
Cheers,
Felipe

Thanks for clarifying. In order to assist t he reader wiU you also have a chart of the assumptions behind how each value is calculated? I'm concerned
about the number of variations of numbers that will be presented and the reader misinterpreting what they mean. The methodology write up w ill
be important. Perhaps it's building on the original briefing note you prepared several weeks ago
Thanks
Karen
Hi Karen,
Sorry, I just realized I got things wrong in my email ~ the costs were estimated as 'SSE l S top At Grade' minus 'SSE 3 stop At Grade' costs, so that
would be consistent with what you need.

Cheers,
Felipe
Hi Felipe,
Thanks for clarifying. I forgot we gave you two sets of SSE numbers depending on the STC station configuration. We have decided to
use the at-grade STC station scenario for SSE. My apologies.
Thanks,
Karen
Hi Karen,
We calculated the incremental costs of SSE Express over McCowan 3 by subtracting the 'SSE 3 Stop Stacked' costs from the 'SSE 1 stop Stacked'
costs. (See highlighted rows in the attached spreadsheet)
Thanks Felipe.
Could you send the assumptions that were used when determining the PV of benefits and costs?
Thanks,
Karen
Hi Karen,
Here's some text to help explain the SSE Express results. Please have a look and let us know if this is more or less what you were looking for:

Questions a Transportation Business Case looks to
answer
Strategic Case: Is a project is supported by a robust case for change that fits
with wider public policy objectives?
Economic Case: Can it be demonstrated that the project shows good
value for money?
Financial Case: Is the project financially affordable?
Deliverability and Operations Case: Is the project achievable?

Impacts considered should include all impacts which have an effect on societal welfare,
including:
- User benefits (e.g. Travel time savings, travel cost savings, crowding relief, travel time
reliability, etc)
- Financial impacts (e.g. fare revenue)
- External impacts (e.g. Road decongestion, emissions reductions, accident prevention, etc)
- Economic development impacts (e.g. Agglomeration, indirect tax revenue, land value uplift,
etc)
- Social and community impacts (e.g. Accessibility and distributional impacts)

Notes:
Monetization of user benefits is based on the concept of 'consumer surplus' which is essentially what a user would be willing to pay for a
service and what it actually costs- benefits (or disbenefits) are the change in consumer surplus between the option and a 'do-minimum'
BCR and NPV are estimated for a 60yr evaluation period, using Metrolinx recommended values for economic parameters such as discount
rates, GOP growth, etc.
Accessibility benefits are calculated and reported for the base year (i.e. what would be the benefit if the project initiated operations today) and a
future year

Hi Tim,
Felipe
Felipe-
I understand Aimee is out of the office with no access to email at this time. You should contact Larry Leung, copied on
this email, to determine when Aimee will return and might be available to meet. My staff are prepared to assist
Purchasing staff if and as required.
Thx Tim
Hi Tim,
In March we submitted proposals for the Park lawn Transportation Master Plan and Waterfront Transit Reset study.
Unfortunately we were unsuccessful on both, so we got in touch with the relevant procurement contact to request a
debrief in person as per the City's offer. The main point-of-contact was Aimee Yang in the City's procurement team.
Aimee acknowledged the request but considerable time has elapsed and no debriefs have been scheduled. We are very
keen to participate in a face-to-face debrief for each on the basis of the considerable time and effort that went into the
bids. It's important to us that we continue to have the opportunity to bid for work administered by the City but this
must be done in an informed way. We also see benefits for the City in terms of receiving higher-quality and better-
informed submissions from a broader range of consultants.

Since these two projects are being run by Transportation Planning we were hoping that you might be able to
help us arrange an in-person debrief to understand which areas of our proposal were weak and which were
strong. I'm cc'ing my colleague Ryan Falconer who led the Waterfront Transit Reset bid and is the person who
has been in touch with procurement regarding a debriefing.

Erin-
Thanks for this. Let me look into this at my end. I will try to advise on what is immediately available or
otherwise by Wednesday morning.
Thx Tim
Tim,
I have looked through our archives and have been unable to find block level data for 2031 for all the blocks that we
need for this round of study. It looks like we will have to add an item to develop this. We only need to establish the
percentage of trips to each block {our actual demand comes from the GO and TIC ridership numbers) so hopefully this
makes the data gathering easier.
I've attached a reference map below of the area and zones/sub-zones we are interested in. The data driving the
cofouration is from Streetlight Data (streetlightdata.com) and is something we could consider using either as an interim
solution or a full alternative. It is based on GPS data from mobile phone and vehicle navigation systems.
Best regards,
Erin

Congestion charging in London at least in the early years was sold that the revenue would go on expanding and
modernizing the bus network. There is now a comprehensive bus network. Many priority bus lanes and red routes
where you get towed if you park. The congestion charge slowed the rate of growth of congestion, initially easing
congestion, but congestion in London is now as bad if not worse than it was before the congestion charge was
introduced, but just think how many more people can get into London now as a result I And what the level of congestion
would have been like if nothing had been done to check it.
Getting more people throughout on roadways is the daily work of most transportation planners. Unfortunately the
micro modelling looks at movement of vehicles and how to set the lights etc and the lanes to make sure they move
efficiently. The macro modelling looks at trips and assigns them to vehicles according to a car occupancy assumption
and a vehicle mix assumption of passenger vs commercial vehicles. You can model HOV lanes, they just need a bit more
work as they are effectively a parallel corridor with different assumptions on car occupancy.
PsI checked with Eric miller yesterday to confirm that the models used for the Gardiner work do not allow for people to
change their time of day of travel so people are being artificially constrained to peak time travel if they travel in the
peak now.
HOV lanes
The great thing about HOV lanes is that they are also by definition bus lanes, hence they address the somewhat valid
concerns that purely bus lanes are a waste of valuable roads pace given a low frequency of buses.
The issue for the Gardiner east is who would an HOV lane work for? Yes, for car sharers, as there are carpool parking
lots further up the 404 and DVP plus HOV already on the corridor. Interestingly, GO uses this corridor a lot, bringing
people down from Markham etc.
There is also the EA done by Arup for Metrolinx a couple of years ago that looked at options for building bus bypass
lanes on the DVP. These would be new lanes.
Most new HOV lanes in North America are new lanes, something that is seen as politically necessary. The Gardiner
should not be new lanes, rather getting more out of the existing infrastructure by continuing the existing investment
and commitment to HOV and bus lanes further up the corridor.
At the heart of this is that fact that the Gardiner gives private vehicles all too easy access to the heart of downtown. This
is valuable real estate and we should not be providing for this. Parking cost is already high in downtown but people stilt
come, showing the value for some of the convenience. So we should milk the inelasticity of this demand and toll the
downtown off ramps in the peak. As a concession, we should not toll before say 7am. This is an incentive for people to
travel at other times, inducing a corporate culture change that will be necessary if we are to get better use of a two way
all day GO service and make the best use of our infrastructure and not just plan our infrastructure for the peak of the
peakiest peak which in my opinion is wasteful. This is behind my idea of freeb47 for transit, to warm people up to the
concept of demand management through price incentives.

Hi Kristin,
The fare savings component is calculated based on the difference in the average fares between every 0-D pair in the 'Do Something' compared to a
'base'. So when we test SmartTrack, there's a large amount of OD pairs which without SmartTrack would include a GO fare but once STat TTC
fares is introduced the average fare is reduced. This average fare is based on a set of 'feasible' paths that travelers would take, according to the
model, in each scenario.
This is why you see a large 'fare savings benefit' in the ST options.
Felipe
Hi all,
This is my first time seeing any of outputs for the economic analysis.
Could someone clarify what is meant by fare savings? I had thought we were assuming TIC fares on SmartTrack.
Kristin
Hi Karen,
Please find attached an updated powerpoint file with the summary results of the economic assessment of all tested options, now including the latest
model outputs provided by the City Planning team last night and this morning.
In addition to the changes made to the relief line options, there is a very small change in the Eglinton East LRT numbers that result from adjusting
the assumed opening year to 2025. in line with the assumption for SSE Express. The NPV and BCR for Eglinton East don 't change as a result of this.
In the interest of time we have not yet updated the sensitivity test charts that are included in the last couple of slides. But please let me know if you' ll
need them and we will update and forward those too.
Cheers.

Hi Trajce,
Sorry, got confused there. From a few days ago we only have 2041 numbers for the RL to Sheppard so we will need 2031 numbers, or an assumption
of growth between the two years, to be able to estimate the benefits.
Thanks,
Felipe
Thanks Trajce,
There's another set of tables that Michael has sent us before which include a summary of total VKTs and fare revenues (files called "Business Case
Output June xx 2016"), would you be able to send me those too, please?
For the 'to Sheppard' option I see in the spreadsheet we have only 2041 results. Will you be sending new numbers for 2031 for that option or should
we just leave the numbers Michael sent us a few days ago?
Felipe
Felipe,
Attached are the most up-to-date travel time savings for the Relief Line, for both 2031 and 2041. Note that this doesn't include SmartTrack. Let me know if there
is anything else you need.

Hi Felipe,
Apologies for the slight delay! Attached is the VKTs and fare revenues tables that you asked for. We will call shortly to discuss!

Hi all,
The Relief Line options we've tested are consistent with what in the pdf are labelled as B I and 82, but there are a few more options there.
Is the idea to only update what we have (i.e. redo 81 and 82) or do you want us to code and run the other options too?
Redoing 8 1 and B2 should be fairly quick to code and would take about 32 hours to run (2 options x 2 time periods x 2 base cases (with/without ST
Opt C) x -4hrs/run) plus about another 2 hours of post-processing. So, assuming computers cooperate we'd have results to share with you by Friday
afternoon.
We haven't tested the other options before so they'd need to be coded from scratch, which would take longer (maybe 2-3 hours to code. plus the
additional run time).
Please advise,
Felipe
Hello Felipe,
We have gone back to the original station to station travel time assumptions for the Relief Line for the portion south of Danforth (attached, sorry for the
scan). You might have these from the first time you calculated accessibility numbers for us. The travel time assumptions for north of Danforth have not
changed from what we have sent you most recently.
We are shifting the station location in Emme to more correctly reflect its currently planned location north of Danforth Ave.
Hi Karen,
Ok, sounds good. We'll make the changes and set the runs as soon as we get the assumption updates.
Thanks,
Felipe
Hi Felipe
We will have new numbers for the accessibility calculator. Mike Wehkind copied will be sending an email with the updated
assumptions on the RL headways.

Hi Felipe,
Mike is referring to these assumptions for use in EgE LAT. 1ve asked our TTC group to take a look at the assumptions. We may just
have a gap in the Eg E LRT analysis depending on confidence in using the same assumptions that were used for the EgW LRT
analysis. Will get back to you on this.
Thanks,
Karen
Hi Mike,
We're not working on the economic case for Eglinton West, is the idea to include it now?
Thanks,
Felipe
Karen,
We have been advised by MX that they have assumed O&M costs of $49 million/year (we assume 2015$, as all other assumptions they provided to us) for Phase
2 of the Eglinton West lRT, with a discount rate of 3.5%. See attached email.
We could use these assumptions as a placeholder. It's up to CMO whether or not to include this.
Mike
Hi Felipe,
Thanks for the meeting today. It was very useful to start getting an understand of what the outputs will look like.
In follow up:
Attached are the confidential draft capital cost estimates for Eg E LAT. Password is the same as last. We don't have O&M numbers
for this project unfortunately.
City Planning is to provide the updated ridership numbers for you as soon as possible (Monday morning latest?)

Set up a briefing to go through full results of economic case with key senior staff. I will look to get a time set up for end of day
Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Based on outcome of briefing we may consider whether additional analysis is required, based on availability of other inputs, time
and resources.

Hi Hilary.
Attached is a slightly modified version of the scope of work. Generally speaking, the work looks fine, I would only suggest we extend the timescales
a little bit (to 8 weeks, but I think we could start giving you results by around week 4), if that works for you. The rest of the adjustments are on the
wording.
I'll start estimating a budget for the work and will finalize it once we agree the scope. I should be able to get you an initial estimate tomorrow so we
can start talking about that too.
For the fee proposal I will set up a short proposal letter including a brief description of the methodology, proposed team. rates and total fee and we
can attach to it the agreed scope of work.
Thanks,
Felipe
PS: Yes, it would be great to work together on defining the specified analysis areas. I will mention that in the methodology section.

Yes Tuesday would be good for a final quote as I realize your internat sign off procedures. The sooner the better really. If you have any questions on the draft
scope perhaps we can do some too-ing and froing over the next couple of days. We can help define the areas we specify, for example we have GIS layers for
NIAs.
Hilary
We'll have something for you probably around Tuesday, if that's ok.
Hi Felipe
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been figuring out how to procure this.
I am filling in the paperwork for a non-competitive procurement. To complete this I need for you:
1. To review the above draft scope and provide comment
2. To provide me with a quote for an agreed scope
3. To provide me with the details of the work done for Metrolinx at the kickoff of WlthinReach that showed that there
were no pre-existing tools available to undertake this advanced connectivity analysis.
Thank Felipe

Hi Hilary,
It was good to see you last week. Thanks for inviting us to come over to talk about 'WithinReach', it was good to meet
the team you're working with. Looks like you guys are extremely busy!
Anyway, just a quick note to reiterate that if you or Tim have more specific ideas as to what analyses you need, let me
know and we can set up some examples of how the 'WithinReach' tools might help.
Cheers,

Good to hear from you! I hope everything's going well at the city and that you're now settled in.
Sounds very interesting, I'm busy but I can make time to be there today at 4pm. Just let me know where to find you and I'll be
there.
I can bring a couple of slides we prepared for the Arup event a few weeks ago and I can talk to the team about how it works and
what it could be used for.
Thanks,

Hi Felipe
There is great interest here in WithinReach. If the City were to use it, the need is urgent.
We would need to look at all purchasing options ie leasing/buying or getting Arup to do the work.
Don't suppose you might be free at 4pm today to come in and present it to the team here?
Hope all is well with you guys

The City of Toronto is seeking to procure the services of Arup to undertake a location and network
analysis of a number of proposed transit improvement projects using the WithinReach connectivity
calculator. It will provide us with an additional layer of information, strengthening the foundation for
our evidence-based decision-making.
Non Competitive Procurement: WithinReach can produce basic GIS transit travel catchment maps
to/from a single node but it can also do advanced connectivity analysis for the entire city region. It
calculates the increase in connectivity between 15,000 nodal intersections across the GTHA with and
without the proposed transit node. Arup has developed this tool and a similar tool is not available from
any other firm for the City to use within the timeframe that we need to apply its outputs.
Deliverables: The calculator uses TransCAD software. The Transportation Planning team in City Planning
has no experience of using TransCAD but regularly uses ArcGIS. To speed up delivery, we ask that Arup
run the calculator and provide the City with the output matrices for input into ArcGIS. We ask that they
are produced on a batch basis so that we can make a start mapping the data in our house style and to
inform our ongoing analysis.
Task 1: How do the following transit improvements improve GTHA transit connectivity:
Rl
Rl +SSE
RER vS.l
RER vS.l + ST
RERvS.l + ST +SSE
RERvS.l + ST +SSE+ RL
RERvS.l + ST + RL
RERvS.l + RL
RERv5.2
RERv5.2 + RL
Task 1: For all of the above network scenarios, who is within reach of:
UTSC
Scarborough Hospital (3030 Lawrence Ave. E)
Scarborough Town Centre
Scarborough District
Neighbourhood Improvement Areas
Pearson Airport terminals
University of Toronto
UTM
York University
York University satellite campus at Markham
Ryerson
Union Station
Financial Core
TOcore area
Wi t hinReach helps identify service gaps by forecasting geographic and demographic coverage to
be presented alongside forecast ridership.
WithinReach informs the fo llowing questions:
o Who benefits from new transit? And how much time do they save?
o Which new destinations are within a reasonable travel time? Say 45 minutes?
o How many more people are within an acceptable travel time of major destinations
o What is the impact of a transfer?
WithinReach has been developed in partnership with Met rotinx
WithinReach is a tool that allows connectivity analysis to be part of the new Business Case
guidance.
WithinReach uses TransCAD software to output GIS data (as maps and data matrices)
City Planning does not have experience ofTransCAD but the out puts could be provided to us in
database format for us to present
The base transit network is built using current GTFS data (inputs to Google maps)
New transit lines can be added to represent an enhanced transit network
Population and employment growth is upscaled according to the forecast year
The base drive time comparisons can be created, but not future drive t imes as there is no
method of simulating future drivetimes.
The tool is being adapted at the moment for Metrolinx to model the impacts of various new fare
integration ideas to get an idea of how far you can travel within$ travel budgets or a single TIC
token.
Data can be output as a map or a database.
Yes Tuesday would be good for a final quote as I realize your internal sign off procedures. The sooner the better really. If you have any questions on the draft
