  • Ridership & Revenue Report
    Seattle Center Monorail Ridership Survey & Financial Analysis Ridership & Revenue Report Technical Memorandum June 2017—using values from v1.3 of the model Prepared for: Prepared by: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ridership & Revenue Report is the culmination of a 12-month process of evaluating existing monorail ridership patterns and fare categories, an assessment of rider characteristics on the Seattle Center Monorail and on relevant bus routes, and a review of ORCA fare system attributes. The forecasts presented in this report build upon a public survey and travel demand modeling documented in two technical memoranda published as part of this project: Survey Methodology & Results and Modeling Methodology & Results. Seattle Center Monorail The Seattle Center Monorail connects Westlake Center in downtown Seattle to The Armory at Seattle Center with fast, frequent transit service. Service operates for 12.5-15.5 hours per day, typically with 10 minute headways; during peak hours in the summer and for events and with two train operation, the 250- passenger trains can operate every five minutes. Approximately 2 million one-way riders use the monorail annually. Monorail ridership has a much greater degree of variation based on day of the week and season of the year than other transit services in the region. ORCA Acceptance Several transit agencies across the region accept the ORCA card. The ORCA card allows riders to pay for their fares using stored value or pass products, while also receiving inclusive transfers across most services. Additionally, reduced fares are provided for children, seniors, and low-income riders. The monorail does not accept the ORCA card and currently offers different discounted fare categories than those used by the ORCA system.

Abstract Changing demographic, land use, and social characteristics are prompting transit agencies to rethink the traditional business model of operating in a fairly independent manner within their jurisdictional boundaries. As a result, the planning and implementation of regional fare programs ranging from simple interagency agreements to allow for free transfers between systems to complex multi-agency programs with a technology focus have increased in recent years.
