TO: Spring 2016 Service Change - Service Package Recipients

FROM: Jon Bez, Acting Supervisor, Service Planning, King County Metro

SUBJECT: Transmittal of Spring 2016 Service Change Package “A”

Attached is Package “A” for the Spring 2016 Service Change period that begins on Saturday, March 26, 2016. The majority of the items in Package “A” are either tied to the service additions as a result of the Community Mobility Contract (CMC) with the City of Seattle, or changes to integrate with University Link light rail, also scheduled for implementation in March 2016.

With light rail being extended to Capitol Hill and the University of Washington, a major restructuring of the routes in Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill will enable riders to have access to more frequent, reliable bus and light-rail service. Over thirty routes will be changed in some form with five new routes being added and seven routes being deleted.

Another major highlight of the March 2016 service change is the splitting of the C & D Line and respective extensions to South Lake Union and Pioneer Square. This change to the C & D Line will be the most noteworthy service change in this third consecutive service change where CMC service investments have been made. The approval of the Proposition 1 ballot measure in November 2014 will be providing the funding mechanism for these service investments.

In addition to the CMC service investments, there are several other service quality investments in Package “A” that are being partially funded by regional partnerships with the City of Seattle and a regional mobility grant from the State of Washington.

For your convenience, a summary of Package “A” items are included in the attached matrix. Please note that this matrix also includes a key for determining whether a package item contains any special suggestions relating to service implementation. If you have questions regarding a specific item, please contact the service planner identified on the package item or Jeff Lee at [email protected].

Route: RUW Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- This package item is simply designed to account for the fact that we will be vastly reducing the amount of "Reduced UW" trips as a result of the U-Link integration. -- Routes 48, 65, 67, 75 will have many fewer "Reduced UW" trips. -- Route 45 will have only two "Reduced UW" trips compared with current Route 48 that has seven trips reduced on the north part of the route.

Objectives -- Operate a more consistent service throughout the year. -- Better serve the non-student UW market. -- Provide at least 15-minute service on the routes serving the UW Link Station during peak periods on all weekdays.

Background -- For many years, the routes listed above have been reduced when the UW is out of session as ridership falls off significantly. However, the non-students oriented to the U. District have suffered with low peak period frequency. Now that these routes are being asked to feed Link Light Rail for trips to Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle it makes sense to provide a consistent base of 15-minute frequency (or better) during peak periods.

Background As part of the University Link Light Rail extension to the University District, many routes are being redesigned to improve the network of service in Northeast Seattle. Metro planners received the following feedback during the lengthy public process: -- Riders desired new "east-west" connections in order to provide new travel possibilities. -- Riders desired more frequent all-day service and would be willing to walk further to reach 15-minute service. -- Fremont was one of the top destinations riders asked to reach.

Route: 26, 26EX Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Combine the Local and Express variants into a single pattern using Aurora Ave N, that will be referred to as Route 26 Express. -- Extend Route 26 Express from Green Lake to Northgate Transit Center. -- Add stops along Aurora Ave to provide better access to South Lake Union. (See FACILITIES section for information on stop patterns)

For information on frequencies see SERVICE LEVELS section.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Routes 26 Express and 28 Express will be through-routed with Routes 131 and 132. -- Routes 26 Express and 28 Express will have staggered schedules so as to provide a combined 15-minute frequency between N 38th St/Bridge Way and the Duwamish (Routes 131/132). -- In the AM peak, a few trips will begin at Green Lake as opposed to Northgate TC. All outbound trips will continue all the way to Northgate TC. (See SERVICE LEVELS section for details) -- It is assumed that most peak trips will be operated by artics.

Objectives -- Create a more efficient service design by combining the express and local variants into a single route pattern. -- Provide fast service to downtown Seattle throughout the day from east and south Wallingford. -- Provide a more direct pathway between Green Lake and Northgate TC by using N 92nd Street instead of Northgate Way.

Background --As part of the University Link Extension, many routes are being redesigned to complement Link Light Rail and to provide more frequent service in Northeast Seattle. -- Current Route 16 takes a very circuitous and time consuming (and congested) route to reach Northgate. The extended Route 26 Express will be about 15 minutes faster to reach Northgate TC versus current Route 16.

The City of Seattle is funding the service between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. every day.

Layover Impact Route 26 will no longer layover at the current Green Lake layover (Woodlawn/Ravenna) but will instead layover at Northgate. Route 26 will layover in Layover "Area" B inside the Northgate Transit Center. As this layover can only accommodate one vehicle at a time, Scheduling will need to limit layovers at this end of the route to no more than 30 minutes. See Northgate Transit Center Diagram for Details.

Trips beginning at Green Lake in the morning peak can continue to use the layover under I-5, northbound on NE Ravenna Blvd.

J:\ ServiceChangePackages\2016\March\161PkA.pdf Page 32 Created 11/5/15 March 2016 Service Change Package A Route(s) 31, 32, 75

Route: 31, 32, 75 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Improve frequency of Route 75 to every 15-minutes during daytime on weekdays and weekends. -- Through-route trips on Routes 31/32 with Route 75 where possible. Route 65 is no longer through-routed with Routes 31/32.

-- Revise routing in Wallingford to replace Route 26 Local coverage on Wallingford Av N and N 35th St.

Frequency information is shown in SERVICE LEVELS section.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Almost all trips on Routes 31/32 will be through-routed with Route 75. -- Trips on Routes 31/32 should alternate in order to provide a combined frequency of every 10-to-15 minutes during the day on Weekdays and Saturdays. -- It is assumed that Routes 31/32/75 will continue to be operated with a mix of Artics and Standard buses. -- There will be fewer trips reduced when the UW is out of session than there are today. Details for which trips will be "reduced" are provided in the SERVICE LEVELS section. (See the "RUW" package item for more details)

Objectives -- Maintain the strong east-west corridor between Children's Hospital and Interbay via the U. District, Wallingford, Fremont and North Queen Anne. -- Improve ridership on Route 75 by improving frequency. -- Provide a transfer opportunity to Link Light Rail at UW Station.

Background -- As part of the University Link Extension, many routes are being redesigned to complement Link Light Rail and to provide more frequent service in Northeast Seattle.

The city of Seattle is funding the following: -- An extension of the span of service by 30 minutes every day late at night from Seattle Center to Northgate TC. -- Improving Route 75 frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes for a couple hours on Saturday, and -- Improving Sunday evening frequency on Route 75 from 60-minutes to 30-minutes.

Impact Area Northgate, Lake City, Sand Point, U. District, Wallingford, Fremont, North Queen Anne.

Route: 33, 27 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5837

Action On weekday evenings after 7:30 PM, shift the inbound Route 33 trips to depart about 8 minutes earlier from the evening terminal on W Government Way & 34th Ave W. Trip times for evening Route 27 trips interlined with the 33 will also shift accordingly.

The evening trips that live loop in Discovery Park and start from W Government Way & 34th Ave W would be revised to depart as follows:

19:32, 20:07, 20:32, 21:07, 21:37, 22:07, 22:37, 23:07

Objectives Reduce service duplication and operate a more even frequency.

Background The weekday evening Route 33 trips that lay-over and depart from the evening terminal at W Government Way & 34th Ave W would be adjusted to depart about 8 minutes earlier, so as to alternate with the existing inbound evening Route 24 trips to provide an approximate 15 minute service frequency into downtown Seattle.

Route: 36 Prepared by: Ted Day District: South Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action Revise late night trips and through-route two of the late night trips with Route 70 trips in order to provide a one-seat ride from Beacon Hill Station to the U. District for late night Link riders. See the SERVICE LEVELS section for scheduling details.

The two Route 36 trips that will be through-routed with Route 70 should depart Beacon Hill Station at approximately 12:25 a.m. and 12:55 a.m.

Objectives -- Provide a one-seat ride for late night Link riders to the U. District.

Background The last few trips on Link Light Rail from the airport will not extend all the way to the U. District, so by hooking a couple late night Route 36 trips with Route 70, riders will be able to exit the train at Beacon Hill Station and catch a northbound Route 36 trip that will carry riders all the way to the U. District.

All other trip times remain the same.

Public Information & Signage Recommendations Sound Transit will likely promote this connection between Link Light Rail and Route 36/70 to the U. District so Metro should work with Sound Transit to ensure the proper marketing of the service.

Action Split current route 8 into two segments at Mount Baker Transit Center. The north portion between Seattle Center and Mount Baker will retain the Route 8 number, while the south portion between Mount Baker and Rainier Beach will be called Route 38 (see Route 8 package item for more information).

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 38 will only travel between Rainier Beach and Mount Baker Transit Center -- Route 38 should live-loop at Mount Baker TC and take all layover at Rainier Beach. -- On Sundays, Routes 8 and 38 will be through-routed at Mount Baker. -- Is assumed that Route 38 can be operated with 40-foot coaches.

Objectives -- Improve reliability by splitting route into two segments

Background Route 8 has trouble staying on-time and keeping even spacing between trips. By splitting the route in two segments, both Route 8 and new Route 38 should be more reliable than existing Route 8.

Route: 40 Prepared by: Jack Whisner District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5847

Action 1. Shift the inbound (southbound) pathway to Westlake Avenue North and Lenora Street from 9th Avenue North and Bell Street between Westlake Avenue North and 3rd Avenue.

2. Shift the pathway between North 92nd Street and College Way North to Corliss Avenue North and North 95th Street. The new pathway is the same as the current Route 345 pathway and the new one for Route 346.

3. Add one new weekday inbound trip departing the Northgate Transit Center at about 6:52 a.m. and adjust nearby trips to optimize headway.

4.. Seven days per week, extend the northbound night span and two-way frequency of service by adding trips departing the southern terminal at about 12:30 and 1:35 a.m.

Objectives Improved combined service frequency and shorter wait times in SLU and on the North Seattle College campus.

Background The City of Seattle requested the change of Route 40 in SLU. SDOT will be providing more transit priority on Westlake Avenue North. SDOT is paying to split RapidRide lines C and D; the C Line will extend to South Lake Union via Westlake Avenue North. The C Line and Route 40 will serve a common pathway between 3rd Avenue and South Lake Union. More effective service frequency will be provided along Westlake Avenue North. The C Line and Route 40 will share stops with the Seattle Streetcar South Lake Union line. One point of concern and friction will be the shared stop farside Denny Way; the stop is only long enough for one transit vehicle at a time, so trailing buses or streetcars will have to wait nearside Denny Way when the stop is being served. SDOT plans to build a new nearside stop in 2017.

Revised Route 26X is replacing Route 16 between Green Lake and Northgate. It will cross I-5 at North 92nd Street rather than the congested Northgate Way. To mitigate transfers between Route 26X and routes extending to and from the north of NSC, routes 26X, 40, and 346 will serve the same stops on North 95th Street as Route 345. Former Route 16 riders may want to access the medical offices north of NSC.

SDOT is buying the additional Route 40 trips improve a.m. peak inbound service and night span and frequency.

Route: 41 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5837

Action Terminal Relocation:

Trips now starting from 6th Ave S/S Massachusetts St will instead shift north to use the layover on 6th nearside of S Royal Brougham Way.

All southbound Route 41 trips will be revised to end at IDS and those trips that use the terminal at 6th/Royal Brougham will follow an out-of-service deadhead routing.

Objectives Relocate the terminal to manage overall area bus layover needs.

Background As part of the on-going management of the various layovers in SODO in the vicinity of Central, Atlantic and Ryerson Bases, the Route 41 trips now using the layover at 6th Ave S farside of S Massachusetts St will shift further north along 6th to nearside of S Royal Brougham Way.

Route: 43, 44 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action Reduce Route 43 to a peak-only, peak-direction route between downtown Seattle and U. District (there will also be deadhead "opportunity trips" between Capitol Hill Station and U. District).

Add a new Route 44 outbound trip around 3:00 p.m. in order to ensure 10 minute frequency between 14:00 and 16:50.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- All trips on revised Route 43 will be through-routed with Route 44 trips to/from Ballard. -- Route 43 trips will be a mix of diesel trippers and deadheading trolley buses. (Please see SERVICE LEVELS section for details on suggested trips and coaches)

For service alternatives for Route 43 riders please see PUBLIC INFORMATION section.

Objectives -- Reduce duplication with Link Light Rail and other bus routes by reducing Route 43 to peak only. -- Retain peak period, peak-direction service between Montlake neighborhood and downtown Seattle.

Background --As part of the University Link Extension, many routes are being redesigned to complement Link Light Rail and to provide more frequent service in Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill.

-- The city of Seattle is funding an additional afternoon trip on Route 44.

Route: 45 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action Split Route 48 into two segments in the U. District. The northern portion between Loyal Heights and the U. District will be called Route 45, while the southern portion between Mount Baker and the U. District will retain the Route 48 number (see Route 48 package item for more information)

Operate along Roosvelt Way NE/12th Ave NE and University Way NE.

Increase frequencies late evenings and extend span of service until 1:00 a.m. from the U. District (See SERVICE LEVELS section for more details).

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Routes 45, 71, 73 and 373 will provide a common service along University Way ("the Ave") to/from the UW Link Station. Therefore, the schedules of Routes 45 and 71/73/373 should be off-set so that there are buses every 7-8 minutes at most times of the day. (During the peak, it will be difficult to offset trips perfectly, so flexibility is expected). -- Route 45 should be designed to have 15 minutes at the Montlake Triangle for layover after almost every trip. Due to not having a good Comfort Station in Loyal Heights, providing access to a Comfort Station at the Montalke Triangle is critical. -- It is anticipated that most trips on Route 45 will operate using articulated coaches. -- The number of Reduced UW trips will be less than previous Route 48 (see SERVICE LEVELS section for details), (See the "RUW" package item for more details)

Objectives -- Improve reliability by splitting route into two segments -- Provide frequent service along Universtiy Way NE to the UW Link Station. -- Provide a 15-minute layover after almost every trip at the Montlake Triangle for drivers to be able to use the Comfort Station.

Background --As part of the University Link Extension, many routes are being redesigned to complement Link Light Rail and to provide more frequent service in Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill. -- Route 48 suffers from severe on-time performance issues and bus bunching, so breaking the route into two segments will help improve performance. -- There is no Comfort Station at the Loyal Heights layover, so it is important to design the service to have good access to and adequate scheduled layover time for use of the Comfort Station at the Montlake Triangle. -- The right turn from EB NE 65th St to SB 15th Ave NE has been difficult for operators, so this new routing will avoid this difficult right turn.

The city of Seattle is funding the following: -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes late on weekday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes on Saturday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes on Sundays.

Layover Impact Route 45 will use layover at the Montlake Triangle. Route 45 should use Layover Area A, that is closest to the UW Station at Montlake Blvd NE. There is a Comfort Station located nearby. Most trips should have at least 15 minutes to provide adequate time for drivers to use the Comfort Station. Please see the Montlake Triangle Diagram for more details.

In Loyal Heightsthere is no Comfort Station located at the termina, and there is less capacity at the layover.

Action Split Route 48 into two segments in the University District. The northern portion between Loyal Heights and the University District will be called Route 45, while the southern portion between Mount Baker and the University District will retain the Route 48 number. (see Route 45 package item for more information).

Improve frequencies (See SERVICE LEVELS section for details)

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 48 will operate between the Mount Baker Transit Center and the UW Campus (Memorial Way/George Washington). -- The number of Reduced UW trips should be reduced to just three trips (See SERVICE LEVELS section for recommended RUW trips). -- Layover at Mount Baker should be limited to two buses due to capacity constraints. -- It is assumed that most trips will be operated with articulated coaches.

Restore northbound service to 23rd Avenue between South Jackson Street and East Cherry Street. Due to the SDOT 23rd Avenue project, Route 48 has been on a long-term reroute on MLK Jr. Way South. The restoration will not be at the March service change, but sometime after it. Service Quality will implement a construction reroute to the fall 2015 northbound pathway.

Objectives -- Improve reliability by splitting route into two segments -- Improve ridership by increasing frequency and eliminating competition with Route 43. -- Provide convenient transfers between Route 48 and Routes 8 and 11 at 23rd Ave E/E Madison St

Background --As part of the University Link Extension, many routes are being redesigned to complement Link Light Rail and to provide more frequent service in Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill. -- Route 48 suffers from severe on-time performance issues and bus bunching, so breaking the route into two segments will help improve performance. With the University Link Light Rail extension, Route 43 is being cancelled due to projected significant declines in ridership. Therefore, the remaining services are being improved to maintain frequent connections between Montlake and Capitol Hill for Route 43 riders who cannot use Link Light Rail.

The city of Seattle is funding the following: -- Improving frequency from 15-minutes to 10-minutes on weekday middays. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes late on weekday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 15-minutes to 10-minutes on Saturday daytimes. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes on Saturday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes on Sundays.

Route: 49 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action Revise terminals at both ends to make use of vacated Route 43 layover locations. This will save runnning time and therefore operating resources.

Improve frequency to every 12 minutes during daytimes on Weekdays and Saturdays (See SERVICE LEVELS section for details)

Add a new OWL trip at 03:30.

Revise the outbound (eastbound) pathway to 8th Avenue and Pine Street between Pike Street and Bellevue Avenue East.

Objectives -- Improve efficiency by using terminals that aren't as far away from the first and last stops. -- Improve ridership by providing higher frequency.

Background --As part of the University Link Extension, many routes are being redesigned to complement Link Light Rail and to provide more frequent service in Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill. -- Route 43 will no longer be taking layover at either Pike St/3rd Ave or 12th NE/NE 47th, so Route 49 will be able to make use of this layover space.

The city of Seattle is funding the following: -- Improving frequency from 15-minutes to 12-minutes on weekdays during peak and midday hours. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes late on weekday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 15-minutes to 12-minutes on Saturday daytimes. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes on Saturday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes on Sunday evenings.

LAYOVER: Zone #1160 -- Pike St/3 Av FIRST STOP: Zone #1180 -- Pike St/4 Av LAST STOP: Zone #10910 -- 12 Av NE/NE 47 St

Layover Impact Route 49 will begin using the Pike St/3rd Avenue layover currently used by Route 43 as a way to save service hours. As this location can only accommodate one vehicle at a time, it is assumed that layovers will be about 10 minutes at this end, with longer layovers in the 15-30 minute range in the University District.

In the U. District, Route 49 will revert back to the layover at 12th Ave NE/NE 47th St in order to free up layover space at University Heights for increased frequencies on Route 70. As mentioned above layovers at this end are assumed to be 15-30 minutes long thereby giving drivers ample time to use nearby Comfort Stations.

Route: 63 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Create a new route connecting Northgate, Maple Leaf, Green Lake, Green Lake P&R, South Lake Union and First Hill using the I-5 Express Lanes.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 63 will provide seven morning and eight afternoon trips. (See SERVICE LEVELS section for trip time details) -- Route 63 and 64 trips should be staggered between Green Lake P&R and First Hill in order to provide a combined frequent service.

Objectives -- Provide a new commuter service to South Lake Union and First Hill for residents of Maple Leaf and Green Lake.

Background -- South Lake Union has grown into a major employment market that draws residents from Northeast Seattle. Current Route 66 that connects Maple Leaf with South Lake Union travels through the U. District and Eastlake neighborhoods. New Route 63 will be about 15-20 minutes faster and therefore be more competitive with driving.

Route: 64 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Revise Route 64 to serve South Lake Union instead of serving the center of downtown Seattle. (Additional service on Routes 76 and 316 will provide alternate service for riders to downtown Seattle) -- Add a new pair of stops to the Express Stopping Instructions and shift one stop for better transfers. (See FACILITIES section for details)

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 64 will provide seven morning and eight afternoon trips. (See SERVICE LEVELS section for trip time details) -- Route 63 and 64 trips should be staggered between Green Lake P&R and First Hill in order to provide a combined frequent service.

Objectives -- Provide a new commuter service to South Lake Union for residents of Meadowbrook, Wedgwood, Bryant and Ravenna. -- Provide better access to Route 64 to Bryant residents by adding a new stop at 30 Av NE. -- Provide a better transfer between Route 372 and Route 64 at 25 Av NE.

Background -- South Lake Union has grown into a major employment market that draws residents from Northeast Seattle. Current Route 66 that connects NE Seattle with South Lake Union travels through the U. District and Eastlake neighborhoods. Revised Route 64 will be about 15-20 minutes faster and therefore be more competitive with driving.

Route: 65 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action --Improve frequency of service to accommodate new riders attracted to using Link Light Rail between NE Seattle and Capitol Hill/downtown Seattle. (See SERVICE LEVELS section for more details) -- Revise through-route partner to Route 67 (from Routes 31/32). -- Operate westbound on Stevens Way and eastbound on NE Pacific St-Pl/Montlake Blvd NE in order to strike a balance between UW Campus access and UW Station access as well as avoiding bad traffic southbound on Montlake Blvd NE. -- Revise northbound rounting near Children's Hospital to eliminate the difficult turn from eastbound Sand Point Wy NE to 40 Av NE.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- All trips (except one RUW trip) on Route 65 will be through-routed with Route 67. -- There will be fewer trips reduced when the UW is out of session than there are today. Details for which trips will be "reduced" are provided in the SERVICE LEVELS section. (See the "RUW" package item for more details) -- Route 65 will operate westbound on Stevens Way and eastbound on NE Pacific St-Pl/Montlake Blvd NE. -- It is assumed that service on Route 65 will be a mix of standard and articulated coaches.

Objectives -- Improve access to UW Station by revising routing eastbound to come as close as possible to the station. -- Increase ridership by increasing frequency. -- Maintain existing riders to/from UW Campus. -- Provide good connections to UW Link Station.

Background -- With Link Light Rail being extended to UW Station, we expect many riders along 35 Av NE to be interested in transferring to Link Light Rail in order to reach Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle.

The city of Seattle is funding the following: -- Improving frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes for one hour on Saturdays.

Route: 66 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Cancel route. Parts of route will be replaced by improved service on other routes (Please see PUBLIC INFORMATION section for more details).

Objectives -- Eliminate poorly performing service. -- Provide a more efficient network by concentrating service on high frequency routes that provide many connections. -- Reduce redundancy in network by relying on Link Light Rail to be the trunk service between the U. District, Capitol Hill and Downtown Seattle (Routes 49 and 70 will continue to provide local all-day service between the U. District and Downtown Seattle) -- Improve service to the center of the Maple Leaf community.

Background -- Route 66 has always been the weakest all-day express route between Northeast Seattle/U. District and downtown Seattle. -- The Maple Leaf community is centered around Roosevelt Way NE, whereas most of our service is currently on either 5th Ave NE or 15th Ave NE. Shifting frequent service to Roosevelt Wy NE should serve the heart of the community better.

Action -- Cancel route. Parts of route will be replaced by improved service on other routes (Please see PUBLIC INFORMATION section for more details):

Objectives -- Provide a more efficient network by concentrating service on high frequency routes that provide many connections. -- Improve service to the center of the Maple Leaf community. -- Improve service on 25 Av NE with increased Route 372 frequency.

Background -- The Maple Leaf community is centered around the Roosevelt Way NE, whereas most of our service is currently on either 5th Ave NE or 15th Ave NE.

Route: 70 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Increase peak period frequency to make up for loss of Route 66. -- Increase span of service to make up for loss of Routes 71/72/73.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 70 will continue to connect the U. District and downtown Seattle using existing layovers. -- Consider use of diesel buses (to save on deadhead time) for the first two weekday morning inbound trips from the U. District, similar to how they are used on early morning trips on Route 44. -- The last two northbound trips every day will come from Route 36 in order to provide a connection from Link Light Rail trips ending at Beacon Hill to the U. District. -- With the significant reductions to Route 43, it is assumed that some of the articulated trolley buses freed up will be redeployed to provide service on Route 70 thereby increasing capacity in the peak periods.

Objectives -- Improve ridership by increasing frequencies. -- Reduce duplication by eliminating Route 66 and concentrating service on Route 70. -- Provide a more efficient network by concentrating service on high frequency routes that provide many connections.

Background -- Route 70 is the most productive route connecting South Lake Union to the U. District, so these improvements will solidify this position. -- In Fall 2015, evening and Sunday service was added in response to Routes 71/72/73 no longer serving the corridor during those times.

The city of Seattle is funding the following: -- A new PM Peak round-trip. -- Improving frequency from 20-minutes to 15-minutes on Weekday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 20-minutes to 15-minutes on Saturday evenings. -- Improving frequency from 20-minutes to 15-minutes on Sundays.

Facilities Please shift Route 70 from Bay #2 to Bay #1 at the NE Campus Pkwy transfer point. This will reduce congestion at Bay #2 and give Route 70 drivers a little more room to move to the left before needing to turn left at 15 Av NE.

Layover Impact Route 70 will continue to layover in the existing locations. However, with Route 49 moving back to its former layover in the U. District that frees up overflow layover on southbound University Way NE. As Route 70 will be more frequent in the peak periods and may have articulated coaches, drivers should be instructed to use the University Way NE layover location for overflow.

Action -- Shorten route to operate only between Wedgwood and the University District on weekdays and Saturdays only. -- Stagger trips with Routes 45, 73 and 373 on University Way NE.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 71 will live-loop the UW Station and take all layover at the Wedgwood terminal. -- Trips on Route 71 should be staggered in both directions with Routes 73/373 between 15th NE/NE 65th and the UW Station, thereby providing service every 15 minutes throughout the day. -- Additionally trips on Routes 71/73/373 should be staggered with Route 45 along University Way NE, so that frequency will be every 7.5 minutes for most of the day. During peak periods, the frequencies won't match perfectly so the headways won't be completely even. This staggering should be achieveable given that Routes 71/73/373 will live-loop, while Route 45 will be scheduled for a 15 minute layover at the UW Station. -- It is expected that most trips on Route 71 will be operated by 40-foot buses.

Objectives -- Connect Northeast Seattle neighborhoods and the heart of the U. District with the UW Link Station. -- Reduce duplication between Link Light Rail and Metro bus service. -- Redeploy saved resources within Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill for more frequent service.

Background -- With the opening of Link Light Rail providing a fast, frequent and reliable connection between the U. District and downtown Seattle, Metro is able to move resources to provide more frequent feeder and neighborhood service.

Route: 74 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Refer to Route as 74 Local instead of Route 74 Express as the route does not skip any stops along the way. Please remove express stop instructions from the Route Book. -- Provide additional trips in order to continue to provide an all-bus one-seat ride express from the U. District to downtown Seattle. -- Revise to serve the Roosevelt/11th Av NE couplet in order to remove conflicts with service on University Way NE and to bring route closer to residential areas in west U. District. -- Route 74 will remain in the tunnel for now. -- In the morning peak, attempt to stagger schedule with Route 355.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 74 will provide 11 morning and 11 afternoon trips. -- Southbound morning trips should be staggered with Route 355 trips in order to give riders a combined frequent service to downtown Seattle. -- Route 74 will continue to use the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel

Objectives -- Retain some peak period, peak direction express service between the U. District and downtown Seattle using the I-5 Express Lanes. -- Better serve the western portion of the University District by shifting the route to the Roosevelt/11 Av NE couplet. -- Provide a combined frequent service between Routes 74 and 355 in the morning between Roosevelt Way NE and downtown Seattle.

Background -- During peak periods in the peak directions, the I-5 Express Lanes offer a very fast connection between the U. District and downtown Seattle, therefore Metro is retaining some service using this pathway. -- The western part of the U. District around the Roosevelt/11 Av NE corridor is where a good portion of the residents live, therefore shifting the peak express service over should bring the service closer to likely commuters.

Route: 76 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Add three trips in the morning and three trips in the afternoon. -- Added trips should both extend the span of service and make service slightly more frequent.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- There is no change to routing between Wedgwood and downtown Seattle. -- Trips should continue to be staggered with Route 316 when both routes are operating. (See SERVICE LEVELS for more details -- Service should operate earlier and later than currently in both peak periods.

Objectives -- Improve options for riders in Northeast Seattle trying to reach downtown Seattle by extending the hours of operation. Riders will be able to reach downtown Seattle in the morning between 05:30 and 10:00 and should be able to depart downtown Seattle in the afternoon between 15:00 and 19:30. -- Relieve existing overcrowding. -- Replace lost capacity to downtown Seattle by changes to Route 64.

Background -- With Route 71 no longer going to downtown Seattle, it is necessary to add some additional trips to Route 76 to help riders who travel just outside of traditional peak periods. -- Along with trip adds on Route 316, slightly more frequent service will be provided to help offset the changes to Route 64 where the route will no longer serve the downtown Seattle core.

The city of Seattle is funding: -- Two morning and two afternoon trips.

Route: 78 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action --Create new Route 78 to connect Laurelhurst and the U. District in order to replace Route 25. -- Revise routing in Laurelhurst to serve the area with the highest ridership potential.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Operate with one (40-foot or shorter) bus at all times (frequencies ranging from 30-40 minutes depending on running times).

-- Operate westbound on Stevens Way and eastbound on NE Pacific St/Montlake Blvd NE.

-- Service will live-loop in the U. District and therefore all layover will be at the Children's Hospital loop.

Objectives -- Continue to serve the Laurelhurst community but concentrate on the areas with the most potential. -- Connect to UW Staion as well as serving the UW Campus.

Background -- Much of Laurelhurst produces very little ridership, therefore, Route 78 will only serve the western portion of Laurelhurst where there is some ridership potential.

Route: 101, 102 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: South King County Phone: 477-5837

Action On Weekdays:

-- Add a new northbound Route 101 trip departing South Renton P&R at 05:38. (shift other trips as necessary to maintain even headways) -- Add a new southbound Route 101 trip departing Convention Place Station at 15:59 (shift other trips as necessary to maintain even headways) -- Shift the southbound Route 101 trip departing Convention Place Station at 18:20 by five minutes earlier to now depart at 18:15. -- Add a new southbound Route 101 trip departing Convention Place Station at 18:30

-Add two new AM/inbound trips starting from the Renton TC at 6:58 & 9:28 AM. Add two new AM/outbound trips starting from CPS at 8:08 & 10:37 AM.

RELIABILITY INVESTMENT: Invest in reliability improvements on the following routes on the days specified. The exact improvement for each route will be determined by the Scheduler. The amount of resources for each route is listed below for guidance, but the Scheduler may deviate from this figure as needed (as long as they stay within the total budget for the base). It is expected however, that some reliability improvement does need to be made to each route below. WEEKDAYS: Route 101: 600 annual hours Route 102: 250 annual hours

Objectives Provide additional service to reduce passenger crowding.

Background Route 101 is among the routes identified in Metro's Service Guidelines Report as needing additional service to reduce passenger crowding. The recent Metro initiative to provide improved service on selected suburban routes experiencing overcrowding and poor schedule reliability will allow for the additional weekday peak trips to be added on Route 101 this coming March. The additional early AM weekend trips will improve the span of service and also alleviate the overcrowding now happening on the first inbound trip on Sunday.

According to the 2015 Service Guidelines the following trips were deemed to be overcrowded: Route 102 northbound trip at 04:45 Route 101 southbound trip at 15:45 Route 101 southbound trip at 18:20

The funding for this service addition is provided in partnership with the City of Seattle.

Action Revise routing to extend the route south from the Issaquah-Highlands Park and Ride to serve Swedish Medical Center (see map). In order to make the extension without creating added costs, the part of the route that travels south of SE Bush Street, near Issaquah High School will be deleted.

Objectives Extending the route to the Swedish Medical Center provides access to a popular destination for medical services for riders in Issaquah. Deletion of the lightly used loop that travels on Front St./2 Av SE (near Issaquah High School) allows this extension to be done at no additional cost.

Background Historically, the route 200 is a poor performer in regards to productivity. It was a candidate for deletion in 2015.

RELIABILITY INVESTMENTS: Invest in reliability improvements on the following routes on the days specified. The exact improvement will be determined by the Scheduler. The amount of resources is listed below for guidance, but the Scheduler may deviate from this figure as needed (as long as they stay within the total budget for the base). It is expected however, that some reliability improvement does need to be made to each route: WEEKDAYS (target service hours): Route 216: 250 annual hours Route 219: 250 annual hours

Objectives Relieve overcrowding and improve on-time performance.

Background According to the 2015 Service Guidelines the following trips are deemed to be overcrowded: Route 216: 16:11 from Seattle Route 218: 06:47 from Issaquah Highlands, 16:21 from Seattle Route 219: 06:56 from Sammamish, 17:15 from Seattle With the new trips added in Fall 2015 and these new trips, overcrowding should be relieved.

With the improvement in Sales Tax receipts, Metro is able to invest some resources in reliability. The routes identified for reliability investments came from the 2015 Metro Service Guidelines report.

Route: 238 Prepared by: Ted Day District: East King County Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Extend route from UWB/CCC to Woodinville on weekdays only in order to replace coverage lost by truncating Route 372. -- Route 238 will continue to terminate at UWB/CCC on weekends.

Objectives -- Improve reliability on Route 372 by shortening route. -- Provide a more appropriate service type operating in a low ridership area.

Background -- Route 372 is a very busy route, but attracts very little ridership east of UWB/CCC and therefore is overserving the area with articulated buses. Route 238 will be a more appropriate service type for the area.

Action -- Cancel route due to low ridership and a multitude of options.

(See PUBLIC INFORMATION section for rider options)

Objectives -- Eliminate poorly performing service -- Shift resources to new routes expected to generate more ridership. -- Reduce redundancy between Route 242 and Sound Transit Route 542.

Background -- Between Sound Transit Route 542 and the Microsoft Connector, the market for Route 242 has been severely reduced, thereby resulting in a roughly 50% loss in ridership over the past ten years. -- Service planners expect that the current resources on Route 242 will be better utilized on new Route 63 connecting to South Lake Union.

Route: 355 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action Revise morning routing in the University District in order to better coordinate with revised Route 74 and due to construction on Roosevelt Way NE that will make the right turn from eastbound NE 45th Street to southbound Roosevelt Way NE infeasible.

DETAILS OF CHANGE: -- Revise southbound (inbound) routing to exit I-5 at the NE 50th Street off-ramp and use NE 50th Street to reach southbound Roosevelt Way NE.

Objectives Provide a combined service frequency between Routes 74 and 355 from the Roosevelt corridor into downtown Seattle in the morning. (See BACKGROUND section for more information)

Avoid an unsafe right turn from eastbound NE 45th Street to southbound Roosevelt Way NE.

Background As part of the U-Link changes, Route 74 will be shifted off of University Way NE to the Roosevelt Way NE/11th Ave NE couplet. This will provide the opportunity for the route to work with Route 355 in the mornings for frequent service into downtwon Seattle.

The city of Seattle is constructing bus bulbs and making other roadway changes on the Roosevelt Way NE corridor. As a result the right turn from eastbound NE 45th Street to southbound Roosevelt Way NE will become unsafe for buses.

Route: 372 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Increase frequency (See SERVICE LEVELS section for details) -- Shorten route to only go as far east as UW Bothell. -- Add some stops along Lake City Way NE and Ravenna Av NE to fill in gaps left by Route 72. -- Add new weekend service between University District and Lake City only. -- Extend span of service until about 1 a.m. on weekdays.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- All inbound trips will begin at either UWB/CCC or Kenmore P&R. -- When possible stagger trips of Routes 372 and 522 between Lake City and UWB/CCC. -- If route remains at East Base, start and end Kenmore P&R turnback trips that deadhead to/from East Base at UWB/CCC since the buses will be deadheading through Bothell anyway. -- On weekends Route 372 will operate between Lake City and U. District only. Due to the short route, please live-loop U. District on weekends and take all layover in Lake City. -- On Weekends, consider operation of Route 372 out of North Base in order to minimize deadheads. -- It is assumed that most weekday trips will be operated with artics. On weekends, standard buses should be sufficient to handle the loads (except on Husky football Saturdays when use of artics would be wise).

Objectives -- Increase ridership by increasing frequency and span of service. -- Maintain existing riders to/from UW Campus.

Background -- With Link Light Rail being extended to UW Station, we expect many riders along 35 Av NE to be interested in transferring to Link Light Rail in order to reach Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle. -- As Route 72 is being eliminated and has more stops along Lake City Way NE than Route 372, a few stops may need to be added to fill in gaps.

The city of Seattle is funding: -- A late night round-trip everyday. -- Improving the frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes for two hours on Saturday.

No change to layover in the U. District, although now Route 372 will be the only route laying over on NE Campus Pkwy so will be able to use all available layovers.

J:\ ServiceChangePackages\2016\March\161PkA.pdf Page 161 Created 11/5/15 March 2016 Service Change Package A Route(s) 372

On weekends, Route 372 will layover in Lake City in the former layover of Route 72. Since the route is short on weekends, it is anticipated that it will live-loop the U. District thereby eliminating layover need on NE Campus Pkwy on the weekends.

Route: 373 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826

Action -- Add peak period trips as Route 373 will become the primary connection between Jackson Park and the U. District in the peak period, peak direction -- Revise Route 373 to serve the UW Station. -- Add a few stops along 15th Ave NE to provide more convenient access to offset the fact that Route 73 will not run in peak direction. (Please see FACILITIES section for more details) -- Route 373 will make all stops on University Way NE. -- Stagger trips with Routes 45 and 71 on University Way NE.

SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 373 will live-loop the UW Station. During AM peak periods, inbound trips on Route 373 will turn into outbound Route 73 trips. During PM Peak periods, inbound trips on Route 73 will turn into outbound Route 373 trips. No outbound trips on Routes 71/73/373 should start at the UW Station as all will be hooked with inbound trips. -- Trips on Routes 71/73/373 should be staggered with Route 45 along University Way NE, so that frequency will be every 7.5 minutes for most of the day. During peak periods, the frequencies won't match perfectly so the headways won't be completely even. This staggering should be achieveable given that Routes 71/73/373 will live-loop, while Route 45 will be scheduled for a 15 minute layover at the UW Station. -- It is expected that trips on Route 373 will be operated by a mix of 40-foot and 60-foot buses depending on loads.

Objectives -- Connect Northeast Seattle neighborhoods and the heart of the U. District with the UW Link Station. -- Redeploy saved resources within Northeast Seattle and Capitol Hill for more frequent service.

Background -- With the opening of Link Light Rail providing a fast, frequent and reliable connection between the U. District and downtown Seattle, Metro is able to move resources to provide more frequent feeder and neighborhood service.

Layover Impact Route 373 will no longer take layover in the U. District as all outbound trips will be through-routed from inbound Route 73 trips. Due to layover constraints at the Montlake Triangle, Routes 71/73/373 are live- looped and will take all layovers (20-30 minutes on average) at their outer terminals.

Route: 673, 674 Prepared by: Jack Whisner District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5847

Action Split RapidRide C and D lines. Extend the C Line to South Lake Union via Westlake Avenue North. Extend the D Line to 5th Avene South. See street-by-street and maps below.

Objectives Seattle wants to improve the reliability of lines C and D and improve service frequency in South Lake Union.

Background Seattle voters approved Prop 1 in November 2014; it included a six-year program to buy about $45 million of transit service from Metro. Seattle is paying to split lines C and D and help buy additional RapidRide coaches. Soon, Seattle and Metro will add a pair of new stops on 3rd Avenue between Pike and Union streets to increase the capacity of bus stops at the most constrained segment of the 3rd Avenue transit spine. SDOT is providing more transit priority on Westlake Avenue North. Before March, SDOT will demolish two traffic islands near Valley Street and Fairview Avenue North to allow a clockwise turnaround loop to be used. Traffic analysis showed a counterclockwise loop would encounter heavier traffic.

Facilities Yes. The D line will serve more stops on 3rd Avenue and Terrace Street. The C Line will serve more stops on Lenora Street and Westlake Avenue North. The C Line comfort station is expected to be in the Marriott Resident Inn. The D Line comfort station will be the existing one at 4th Avenue South and South Washington Street.

Layover Impact Yes. A new southern terminal will be established for the D Line on 5th Avenue South nearside South Washington Street. A new northern terminal will be established for the C Line on Minor Avenue North and Valley Street. The two new layover zones have not yet been assigned numbers.

The last outbound stop of the revised C Line (673) could be stop #10325 on Fairview Avenue North farside Valley Street. The last outbound stop for the revised D Line (674) could be stop #1710 on Terrace Street nearside 5th Avenue.

The amount of resources is listed below for guidance, but the Scheduler may deviate from this figure as needed (as long as they stay within the total budget for the base). It is expected however, that some reliability improvement does need to be made to each route: WEEKDAYS (target service hours) E Line: 700 annual hours

Objectives Relieve overcrowding and improve on-time performance.

Background According to the 2015 Service Guidelines the following trips are overcrowded: Southbound: 07:03, 07:52 Northbound: 16:00, 17:15, 18:02

Route: 915 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: South King County Phone: 477-5837

Action The weekday/midday service frequency would be improved to operate about every 60 minutes with trips scheduled as follows:

-Operating eastbound, departing from the Auburn Transit Center at about:

8:14, 9:14, 10:14, 11:14, 12:14, 13:14, 14:14, and 15:14

-Operating westbound departing from Griffin Ave/Wells St in Enumclaw at about:

9:26, 10:26, 11:26, 12:26, 13:26, 14:26, 15:26, and 16:26.

The downtown Auburn DART area bounded by 1st St SE/SW, 3rd St NE/NW, A St SE/Auburn Ave and A St NW/SW would be eliminated.

Objectives Provide additional service along an underserved corridor.

Background Route 915 currently operates about every 90 minutes and is the only midday service operating along Auburn Way South and along the SR-164 corridor between Auburn and Enumclaw. One of the recommendations of the recently completed SE King County Alternatives Service Project was to improve the service levels along this corridor. This this change, the Route 915 will operate about every hour on weekdays. In addition, the small downtown Auburn DART area would be eliminated as it is not used by riders.
