Project Description

1. Project Scope This project will acquire 28 new 60ft articulated buses that will operate on the RapidRide H Line, existing route 120 corridor which operates between Downtown Seattle and Burien Transit Center. The funding requested with this application will assist with the purchase of eight of these vehicles. The new vehicles are necessary to provide increased transit frequency to meet existing and forecasted service demands. Ridership is expected to increase 50% with the implementation of the more frequent service. 2. Project Justification, Need, or Purpose Route 120 is one of Metro’s 10 busiest routes, serving more than 9,200 trips each weekday and was identified in the City of Seattle’s Transit Master Plan, voter approved Move Seattle Initiative and Metro Connects as a future RapidRide Corridor, RapidRide H line. The corridor connects four Regional Growth Centers in the Seattle Central Business District (CBD) to the connects four Regional Growth Centers in the Seattle Central Business District (CBD) to the Regional Duwamish Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC), south to the local centers at Westwood Village, White Center and the Burien Regional Growth Center. Route 120 was created in 2004 by consolidating portions of four routes into a frequent, all day service. Since that time, ridership has increased 110% and demand for increased service continues to grow. The planned implementation date for the RapidRide H Line project is 2020. These additional buses will enable the increase in service frequency to bus rapid transit service levels. It is expected that there will be 193 additional daily transit trips in the corridor, including: - Increase AM weekday peak period service to every 7 minutes between 6:00 am - 9:00 am from 8-14 minutes. - Increase PM weekday peak service to every 6-6.5 min between 6:00 am - 9:00 am from 6-10 min. - Increase midday service to every 30 min 10:00 am to 1:00 pm from every 60 minutes. - Increase weekend servitor every 15 min 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm from every 30 minutes. - Increase Sunday service to every 15 min 6:00 am – 7:00 pm from every 30 min. - New all-night service every half hour 1:00 am – 4:00 am. According to Metro’s 2016 System Evaluation Report, Route 120 carried 9,200 trips each weekday and 2.8 million trips in 2016. The Report calculated overcrowding levels on Route 120 at 118% during peak periods in 2015, and recommends that Route 120 corridor service be increased to “Very Frequent” service, defined as having the highest levels of service frequency for peak period and off peak service, seven days a week and providing night service. The Report based the recommendation on the need to reduce overcrowding, improve service reliability, and meet target service levels to low-income and minority communities. Since 2012, Metro has completed several speed and reliability, pedestrian access improvements and bus stop projects in this corridor to meet growing service demand and ridership increases. Demand for additional service continues to increase and Metro is expecting significant ridership increases on the corridor. On average, converting existing routes to RapidRide service levels has resulted in ridership growth of 50-70% over baseline within five years of service launch. To meet this demand, additional buses are needed. New transit ridership and modal shift will help reduce the increasing demand for single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips in the corridor, alleviating increasing congestion impacts and reducing vehicle emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Further, the corridor is currently served by 60’ diesel/hybrid coaches purchased in 2004. The new generation diesel/hybrid vehicles purchased as part of this project will operate with current emissions standards and state-of-the-art engine efficiency, a strategy consistent with supporting Metro and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) regional air quality goals.

By adding needed vehicles to support transit service increases and RapidRide conversion, the project will support these outcomes:

• Substantially increased in transit frequencies, ridership during peak, midday, and night service periods.

• Increased transit reliability, faster travel times and higher service quality in the corridor.

• Improve access to approximately 31,814 housing units and 138,093 jobs from all sectors according to analysis of 2016 PSRC data calculated within ¼ mile of Route 120 bus stops. By 2040, the corridor will access over 60,450 housing units, a 90% increase.

• Increased ridership of 4,600 weekday trips by 2025, a 50% increase.

• Supports adopted land use and zoning goals for housing and employment growth and retention as demonstrated in the plan consistency section of this application.

• Alleviates growing traﬃc congestion through increased ridership and mode shift to transit. • Reduced transportation generated GHG and other toxic air pollutants.

• Supports other non-motorized modes by providing an enhanced service along bike/walk corridors.

• Promotes Metro’s commitment to improve both service quality and to operate more eﬃciently.

Support for Centers

1. Designated center(s) supported Regional Growth Centers: Seattle CBD(4) and Burien Regional Manufacturing/Industrial Centers: Duwamish MIC Local Centers: Westwood Village

Criteria: Beneﬁt to Center

1. Describe how the project will benefit or support the existing and planned housing and employment development of a center or centers. Does it support multiple centers? The project will benefit existing and planned development within multiple centers by increasing the number of people traveling to the centers by transit. The project will meet existing and future transit demand for transportation between centers while improving transit reliability, performance, and competitiveness. Route 120 is one of Metro’s 10 busiest routes, serving more than 9,200 trips each weekday and was identified in the City of Seattle’s Transit Master Plan, voter approved Move Seattle Initiative and Metro Connects as a future RapidRide Corridor. Metro has completed several speed and reliability, pedestrian access and bus stop projects in this corridor to meet service demand and ridership increases. Demand for additional service continues. On average, converting existing routes to RapidRide service levels has resulted in ridership growth of 50- 70% over baseline within five years of service launch. Providing needed vehicles to support increased transit frequency and higher ridership supports existing and planned center housing and employment development by increasing demand for commercial activity, services, and housing. Meeting growing transportation demand for travel between centers with transit reduces demand for added street capacity and space intensive parking within centers. This creates greater efficiency in land use and allows higher development densities, which support compact development designs and walkable development patterns.

RapidRide provides specially branded buses with low-floor, all-door boarding, making loading and unloading more efficient and easier for people of all ages and abilities. RapidRide service improves travel time and service reliability, and will include infrastructure improvements that improves travel time and service reliability, and will include infrastructure improvements that improve transit speed, safety and convenience such as transit signal priority at intersections, dedicated bus lanes, and off-board fare collection. Passengers can expect 10 to 15 percent faster bus travel times during the peak commute period, and buses operating where proper spacing of service trips is achieved more than 85% of the time (City of Seattle “Draft RapidRide Expansion Program Report,” February 2017). 2. Describe how the project will support the development or redevelopment plans and activities (objectives and aims) of a center or centers. This project will support center development and redevelopment plans and activities by increasing transit ridership between Regional and Local Centers including Seattle CBD(4), Duwamish MIC, Westwood Village and Burien. By supporting substantially increased service frequencies and quality of service, this project will help mitigate the negative impacts of new development including increased traffic growth and demand for additional parking. This helps reduce the cost of development through creating greater efficiency in the existing transportation system. This is especially significant to supporting continued redevelopment in Downtown Seattle, where large amounts of growth are forecasted. According to Commute Seattle’s 2016 Commute Seattle Survey, Downtown Seattle has added over 45,000 new jobs since 2010, increasing to 247,000 jobs in 2016. Transit has absorbed nearly 70% of the new peak period trips generated, contributing to a decrease in drive alone rate in the past five years to 30% from 35%. Continuing this trend helps reduce congestion on already crowded roads and highways. Specifically, this project will support several notable planned redevelopment projects including the City of Seattle’s Center City Mobility Plan and Westwood-Highland Park Residential Urban Village. Within the City of Burien, Route 120 operates along Ambaum Blvd SW and SW 148th St., corridors designated for “High” Land Use Intensity in the Burien 2015 Comprehensive Plan. 3. Describe how the project improves safe and convenient access to major destinations within the center, including enhanced opportunities for active transportation that can provide public health benefits through the following relevant areas: walkability, public transit access, public transit speed and reliability, safety & security, bicycle mobility and facilities, streetscape improvements, etc. The project will improve safe and convenient access to major destinations within designated centers along the corridor by increasing transit frequency and quality of service, providing more opportunities to ride and encouraging modal shift. Studies have shown that people who ride transit are more likely to get regular physical activity simply by walking to and from transit stops, so access to high quality transit service supports public health goals (Besser, Lilah M. and Andrew L. Dannenberg, “Walking to Public Transit: Steps to Help Meet Physical Activity Recommendations, Am J Prev Med 2005; 29(4): 273-280). Transit also provides a vital link to people who walk and bike by extending accessibility and trip lengths and supporting compact walkable development patterns that provide higher opportunities for safe and convenient travel to destinations within centers. 4. Describe how the project provides a range of travel modes to users traveling to centers, or if it provides a missing mode. The support for vehicle purchase requested in this application would make it possible to provide RapidRide service levels between downtown Seattle and Westwood Village Urban Center. The buses will provide additional transit capacity to move people on more frequent and higher quality service, increasing the attractiveness to nonmotorized travelers by creating additional transit trip options and improved reliability. This connection is especially strong between the bike system and Metro; who has for decades provided the ability to transport bikes on our fleet.

By facilitating more frequent transit service, extended service hours and increased transit quality, this project will encourage mode shift to transit and nonmotorized travel from single- occupancy vehicles. As more transportation demand is met with transit and nonmotorized modes, the negative impacts of increasing traffic levels are reduced, benefiting all modes of transportation in the corridor. 5. Describe the user groups that will benefit from the project, including commuters, residents, commercial users, those groups identified in the President’s Order for Environmental Justice, seniors, people with disabilities, those located in highly impacted communities, and/or areas experiencing high levels of unemployment or chronic underemployment. The project will benefit numerous user groups, including commuters, residents, students, travelers, low income and minority populations, people with disabilities and people living in Highly Impacted Communities. These groups will benefit from more trip options, new late night service, higher reliability, and better access to employment and education opportunities, shopping and commercial services, health & human service resources, and recreation destinations.

Analysis of US Census American Community Survey Data between 2011 to 2015 indicate that Analysis of US Census American Community Survey Data between 2011 to 2015 indicate that significant areas served by Route 120 are designated as low-income and/or minority populations. A total of 16 Census Tracts served by the routes 120, 87.5% are classified as low-income, minority, or both low-income and minority. PSRC’s Project Selection Interactive Resource Map show Route 120 travels through several Census Tracts between the Westwood Village Local Center to the Burien Regional Growth Center with higher percentages of elderly and disabled populations. This project will also enhance transit service and access to two Highly Impacted Communities around White Center along SW Roxbury St. and SW 116th St, and along Ambaum Blvd. SW between SW 126th and 136th streets These areas are reported by the PSCAA and characterized by degraded air quality whose residents face economic or historic barriers to participation in clean air decisions and solutions. 6. Describe how the project will support the establishment of new jobs/businesses or the retention of exisitng jobs/businesses including those in the industry clusters identified in the adopted Regional Economic Strategy. This project will directly benefit and support existing and planned employment in designated Regional Growth Centers in the Seattle CBD and Burien, the Regional Duwamish MIC, The Westwood Village Local Center and along the connecting route corridor. 2016 employment within ¼ mile walking distance from Route 120 bus stop was estimated at 89,407 and include jobs in all the covered employment categories.

The expanded service supported by this project will provide more transit trip options for workers and support a wider variety of shift times. Higher transit capacity and increased trip frequencies will also stimulate more commercial development and redevelopment within centers and along the Route 120 corridor, providing more employment opportunities. 7. Does the project promote Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) opportunities? Employees at over 150 employment sites along the Route 120 corridor affected by the CTR law will benefit from increased trip frequency, extended service hours, transit reliability and performance. CTR programs managed by the cities of Seattle and Burien, and King County and WSDOT will benefit from this project, as more transit resources become available to meet commuter program needs.

Local south County cities’ CTR projects that will beneﬁt include the South King County Partnership CTR Initiative which includes the cities of Renton, SeaTac, Kent, Burien, Federal Way, and Tukwila. Tukwila’s South King County Transportation Options program provides grants for small capital projects that encourage active transportation and transit use in South King County within the cities of Burien, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, SeaTac, and Tukwila. Projects may be proposed by cities, businesses, community organizations, schools, or neighborhood groups.

Criteria: System Continuity/Long Term Beneﬁt-Sustainability

1. Describe how this project provides a "logical segment" that serves a center, or allows users to access the system. The transit service along this corridor has been incrementally improved both with infrastructure (pedestrian access, speed and reliability, increase in service hours) the next logical step to meet the demand as called for in multiple adopted plans is to implement bus rapid transit along the full corridor.

Service along this corridor (Route 120/RapidRide H Line) provides connection to other urban centers and destinations accessible by the regional transportation network through transit centers and transfer points in Downtown Seattle, West Seattle, White Center, and the Burien Transit Center. Riders transfer in downtown Seattle to other Metro routes, Community Transit routes, Sound Transit Express bus service, and ST Link and Sounder service. These services provide access to numerous Regional Centers including the Ballard/Interbay industrial area, Bellevue, the Duwamish industrial area, First Hill/Capitol Hill, Northgate, Overlake, Redmond, and the University Community. At Burien Transit Center, riders will be able to transfer to ten (including the RapidRide C and F Lines) other Metro routes and one Sound Transit route serving regional centers and employment areas including Auburn, Bellevue, Kent, Overlake, Renton, Sea-Tac, and Tukwila. At Westwood Village Local Center, Route 120 provides connection to ST 560 service to SeaTac International Airport, Tukwila, Renton and Bellevue. 2. Describe how the project fills in a missing link or removes barriers to a center (e.g. congestion, inadequate transit service/facilities.). Purchasing new expansion buses for the RapidRide fleet is necessary to increase the service frequency to RapidRide levels. This will be the first direct RapidRide connection between the Burien and Seattle CBD Urban Centers, and provide the first access to a RapidRide service for residences and businesses along Delridge Way, through White Center, and through the Westwood-Highland Center Residential Urban Village. The RapidRide H Line is a key component of the regional RapidRide network, connecting to the C Line at Westwood Village component of the regional RapidRide network, connecting to the C Line at Westwood Village and the F Line via Route 120 in Burien. Converting regular service to RapidRide service has shown to increase transit ridership on the corridor by an average of 50% or more within 5 years. Increasing transit usage and shifting trips away from single-occupant vehicles reduces congestion on the transportation system as a whole. RapidRide H Line will also involve infrastructure improvements such as transit signal priority, bus stop consolidation, and all-door boarding and off-board payment. These improvements will speed corridor travel times, on-time performance, and reduce dwell time delay for transit and passengers on the corridor. 3. Describe how this project will relieve pressure or remove a bottleneck on the Metropolitan Transportation System and how this will positively impact overall system performance. Transit service on this corridor (transit travel time and service reliability) suffers from daily traffic congestion along the arterial sections of the corridor but also from congestion on the West Seattle Bridge (WSB) and SR 99. Existing service also suffers from overcrowding. The project will help alleviate congestion by encourage mode shift to transit, increasing trip frequencies, improving service reliability, and addressing peak period overcrowding.

The West Seattle Bridge corridor has the highest traffic demand out of all Seattle city streets. The combined upper and lower roads accommodate up to 106,000 vehicles per day. Traffic volumes on the West Seattle Bridge and Spokane Viaduct are projected to increase 26-33% over the next 20 years (West Seattle Bridge/Duwamish Waterway Corridor Whitepaper and Priority Investment List 9/22/2015). This project will help moderate increases to traffic on this critical regional corridor.

By providing additional buses needed for the planned service increase, the project will provide additional capacity to intercept vehicular trips that would otherwise need to operate on the WSB, the SR 99 ramps and 1-5. Reduction in vehicular trips to Downtown Seattle will alleviate congestion on WSB, SR 99, Downtown Seattle surface streets, and 1-5 at the I-90 interchange bottleneck. 4. Describe how the project improves intermodal connections (e.g. between autos, ferries, commuter rail, high capacity transit, bus, carpool, bicycle, etc.), or facilities connections between separate operators of a single mode (e.g., two transit operators). The increased service frequencies on this corridor enhances mobility for our customers, by providing better connections between routes, including the RapidRide C in West Seattle and RapidRide F in Burien.

The project will maintain and improve the ability of users to travel safely to and through the regional and local centers, and make connections to several other modes including ST Express Bus routes, ST Link and Sounder rail services, WSF and King County Water Taxi service, and Amtrak service in downtown Seattle. 5. If applicable, describe how the project provides an improvement in travel time and/or reliability for transit users traveling to and/or within centers. Transit reliability is improved with additional trips by providing more route capacity to disperse passenger loads across several trips that operate closer together (less crowding and bypass). Also, with increasing frequency during peak times, riders will also have more options to take a nearby trip should a bus run late.

When the Route 120 is converted to the RapidRide H Line, passengers can expect 10 to 15% faster bus travel times during the peak commute period, and buses operating where proper spacing of service trips is achieved more than 85% of the time (City of Seattle “Draft RapidRide Expansion Program Report,” February 2017). 6. If applicable, describe how the project increases transit use to or within centers. Following the pattern seen with other RapidRide routes, the transit enhancements to the Route 120/ RapidRide H Line are expected to attract increased ridership in the corridor. Existing Route 120 weekday ridership is 9,200 trips, and an additional 4,600 weekday trips are forecasted when service improvements are complete. 7. Describe how this project supports a long-term strategy to maximize the eﬃciency of the corridor? Describe the problem and how this project will remedy it. Acquiring new buses to provide higher level of service will improve access to multiple local and regional centers served by the corridor. It is part of building out a regional transit network that provides frequent, day and night convenient connections to major destination and linkages between regional and local centers. This high quality service and new buses will attract new riders to transit who have other travel options, reducing demands for single occupant vehicle use and vehicle miles traveled as development continues within the centers. Increasing transit ridership through mode shift maximizes the eﬃciency of this key transit corridor between Burien and downtown Seattle. Air Quality and Climate Change: Element Selection
