STA Moving ForwardOverview
Goal: Define what Public Transportation will look like in Spokane in 5, 10 and 15 years
Public Process and Agency Collaboration is critical
Three Phases to STA Moving Forward
High Performance Transit Network
Phase II: Analyze Short List of Projects
Short List Consisted of 20 Projects6 High Performance Corridors
Combined to Create 4 Corridor Advisory Panels (CAPs)
Other Route Improvements or Additions
7 Connection FacilitiesOther System Improvements
(Paratransit, Passenger Amenities, etc.)
Collaboration with Partners
Informal
meetings

Lessons LearnedWork to get everybody on the same
teamKeep people informed of process is
as important as informing them of results
Celebrate milestones
Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood
Approx. 9,700 residents in 3,800 households
Spans all income brackets ($41k avg. in 2010)
About equal age distributionup to 65 (25-29 group higher)
Almost equal owner-/renter-occupied housing units
E-G Transportation Statistics60% commute <20 minutes to work (avg. is 19 minutes)
71% drove alone to work, 13% carpooled; only 5% used public transportation
Walk score of 73 — third best in Spokane
Four major arterials run through the neighborhood
Corridor Advisory Panel Outcome
Increased public engagement, less frustration
Should complement North Monroe revitalization
Useful to Neighborhood Planning effort
Laid foundation for future collaborations with STA
