Stakeholder guidance: More ridership, less coverage
Stakeholder guidance: More ridership, less coverage
Stakeholder guidance: Saturdays
Our recommendation: evenings and Sundays too.
Recommendation: Consistent all-day frequency
Recommendation: Consistent layover time
• Reduce scheduled layover time to 15% of revenue hours
• Allow frequent services to pass through Transit Centers (instead of dwelling there for the pulse)
Recommendation: Coordinate with land use and development agencies
Constrained network recommendation
• Higher frequency on corridors• Commercial/River Road• Keizer to Lancaster Drive• Downtown to Portland Road and Chemeketa CC• Downtown to West Salem
• Frequent services don’t dwell at Transit Centers
• Other specific local changes, in all quadrants

Change in residential access to transit that would occur …
A drop in jobs near any service (mostly low-frequency)…
…but a BIG gain in jobs near frequent service, which is far more likely to be useful.
