Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 218 / Friday, November 13, 2009 / Notices
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
purpose of this notice is to propose a
radius around a public transportation
stop or station within which FTA will
consider pedestrian and bicycle
improvements to have a de facto
functional relationship to public
transportation.
FTA’s existing guidance on the
eligibility of joint development
improvements serves as the foundation
for this proposed policy. According to
that guidance, ‘‘the functional
relationship test of activity and use
permits the use of FTA funds for joint
development improvements [including
pedestrian and bicycle improvements]
located outside the structural envelope
of a public transportation project, and
may extend across an intervening street,
major thoroughfare or unrelated
property, [but] should not extend
beyond the distance most people can be
expected to safely and conveniently
walk to use the transit service.’’ 27
Relying on this guidance, in most
circumstances FTA has considered
pedestrian improvements within about
1,500 feet of a public transportation stop
or station to be functionally related.
Improvements beyond a 1,500 foot
radius were considered functionally
related to public transportation only if
they satisfied a test of activity and use.
The distance stated in FTA’s existing
guidance is too short. ‘‘While distance is
very important for pedestrians, on
average they will walk further than the
anecdotal rule of thumb of 400 meters
used in many planning applications.’’ 28
Research indicates that pedestrians are
willing to walk at least one-half mile to
train stations or other forms of reliable
public transportation when the
environment surrounding the station is
safe and well-designed.29 That equals a
fifteen minute walk at a pace of two
miles per hour. A one-half mile
catchment area is a conservative
estimate of the distance a pedestrian is
willing to travel to a public
transportation stop or station. FTA has
reason to believe that pedestrians are
willing to spend more than fifteen
minutes walking to public
transportation stops and stations: A
study published in the American
Journal of Preventative Medicine
concluded that Americans who use
public transportation spend a median of
nineteen minutes daily walking to and
from public transportation; and people
in high-density urban areas were more
likely to spend approximately thirty
minutes walking to and from public
transportation daily.30
Applying the same timeframes to
bicyclists yields at least a three mile
catchment area. Bicycle paths would
extend further than a pedestrian facility
and still be functionally related because
‘‘bicyclists are willing to travel much
longer distances than pedestrians,
largely due to higher average speeds
attainable by bicycle.’’ 31 Inasmuch as
the average bicycle commuter travels at
ten miles per hour,32 FTA proposes a
bicycle catchment area of three miles
from public transportation stops and
stations.

b. Proposed Policy
For purposes of determining whether
a pedestrian or bicycle improvement has
a physical or functional relationship to
public transportation, regardless of
whether it is funded as a capital project
or public transportation enhancement,
all pedestrian improvements located
within one-half mile and all bicycle
improvements located within three
miles of a public transportation stop or
station shall have a de facto physical
and functional relationship to public
transportation. According to a test of
activity and use, pedestrian and bicycle
improvements beyond these threshold
distances may be eligible for FTA
funding if the improvement is within
the distance most people can be
expected to safely and conveniently
walk or bicycle to use that particular
transit service.
FTA seeks comment from all
interested parties. After consideration of
the comments, FTA will issue a second
Federal Register notice responding to
comments received and noting any
changes made to the policy statement as
a result of comments received.
