Goals

The goals are designed to help decision-makers and the public understand transit corridors and investments and set realistic priorities:

  1. show the location of transit corridors and type of potential transit investments, including assumed alignment, technology, stations and services;
  2. clearly articulate the mobility and community purposes served by transit investments in each corridor (purpose and need of transit investments);
  3. track the status of transit investments in the planning and funding process;
  4. show how current and future land use relates to transit infrastructure investments;
  5. provide clear, consistent information related to the cost of investments, the components of these costs, and the assumptions used in developing the costs;
  6. analyze travel markets in the transit corridors (trip types, origins and destinations, characteristics, etc.);
  7. document how travel results and infrastructure costs relate to eligibility for specific funding sources, particularly federal funding, and what can be paid for with current revenue streams vs. what would require new or increased revenues.
