2030 Transit Operations Priorities

#1: Frequency#2: Travel Time#3: Schedule#4: Transfers#5: Stop Locations#6: Route Design#7: Waiting Experience

“They’re all important”

“The journey needs to be fun, not an ordeal.”

“Transit takes longer than vehicles, so how can the experience of being on a bus must be improved to make up for the time spent on the vehicle.”

Transit Priorities Compared to Areas for Improvement

33

Top Priorities: #1: Frequency #2: Travel Time #3: Schedule #4: Transfers #5: Stop Locations #6: Route Design #7: Waiting Experience

A little disconnect between

responses

Areas for Improvement #1: Travel Time #2: Number of Transfers #3: Frequency #4: Waiting Locations #5: Routes are Direct #6: Serves High-Demand Markets #7: Hours of Service

Other Observations

34

People generally agree:oOne transfer or less is

bestoFrequencies of at least

once an hour oTravel times that are

more competitive with driving

oMore stops need shelters and better amenities

oBetter park and ride accommodations

In 2030, I envision…“A less complicated system for using transit to access sites around the mountain.”

“Seamless routes, cooperative transfers.”

“Frequency that builds confidence in riders that their time will be efficient and they will not be stranded.”

“A transit system that is an attractive alternative even for those with access to a private vehicle.”

Topic: Policy, Governance, and Funding

Policy, Governance and Funding Reference Slides

Thinking about the 2030 vision, rate each strategy in terms of effectiveness for strengthening transit

39

“The important thing to keep in mind is providing a service to riders to make riding as convenient and enjoyable as possible.”

“People going longer distances, especially to resorts where they pay $100 for a lift ticket, should pay more than a local employee going 20 minutes to work.”

“If transit is cheaper, more fun, accessible for all, and helps sustain the mountain we love by reducing carbon in a personally measurable way, people will use the system and like it!”
