StreetLight is a private company that compiles anonymized location records from smart <br />phones and navigation devices in connected vehicles and transforms these location records into <br />travel pattern data. This allows transportation analysts to develop helpful information about how <br />vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians move through the transportation network. <br />Two types of data were extracted from StreetLight for the OD analysis: Origin -Middle -Filter - <br />Destination (OMD) trips and Top Routes data. This data was used to identify the origins (Os) and <br />destinations (Ds) of the trips using the river crossings via different highways (Top Routes). <br />The OD analysis was conducted primarily for person trips during the AM peak period (6:00 to 10:00 <br />am), the PM peak period (3:00 to 7:00 pm) and daily during weekdays (Monday —Thursday) from <br />April 1st to 30th and September 1st to October 31st, 2019. A comparative analysis was conducted <br />later between weekdays and the Friday afternoon before Memorial Day to investigate how travel <br />patterns change entering a holiday weekend. <br />Additional information about OD analysis methodology is available in Appendix B. <br />Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis <br />
