Purpose
• Screen long list of potential corridors
• Define corridors to be evaluated as:
– High capacity transit corridors
– Priority bus corridors
Approach
![Page 8: Seattle Transit Master Planpublic/meetingrecords/2011/... · 2011-05-10 · Transit Master Plan Goals • Make it easier and more desirable for people to take transit • Respond](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050207/5f5a37b6642d3f16b654ec3c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Corridor Definition
Criteria
• Existing ridership/productivity
• Ridership potential
(current and future land use)
• Benefits to vulnerable
communities
• Potential for travel time
savings
• Anchor/generator strength
• Transit supportive zoning

Total Scores for
Segments Evaluated
in Stage I

• Ridership criterion reflects
current service design
• Land use criteria emphasize
Center City and University
District segments
• Strong cross-town markets
emerge north of Ship Canal
and east of Center City
• Strongest markets parallel
right-of-way limitations

What is unique about Center City?
• Land use conditions
• Transit mode and vehicle
limitations due to steep
grades
• Right-of-way constraints
– Bus operations in Downtown
Seattle Transit Tunnel
– Modal tradeoffs
• Electric trolley bus network
– Existing infrastructure
investment
– Route interlining
