Project Scope Metro will contract with a service provider to provide on-demand feeder-to-fixed route (F2FR) service for two years at three newly expanded transit hubs located in Regional Centers: Federal Way Transit Center, Overlake Village Station, and Auburn Transit Center. Customers within an approximately two-mile radius of these transit centers will be able to request rides through an app or call center, get picked up within 15 minutes, and rideshare with other customers to and from the transit hub located in the Regional Center and destinations within the service area. The service is intended to be available all-day; exact service hours determined based on community input, fixed-route transit service hours, projected ridership demand, and final costs. Proposed project costs include: service design and operations, marketing and promotions, community engagement, evaluation and information sharing. The on-demand F2FR services provided by this project will fill critical gaps in transit service, directly benefiting 900,000 residents and 850,000 employees located within the F2FR directly benefiting 900,000 residents and 850,000 employees located within the F2FR 2 of 13 service areas or within the catchment areas for the routes directly serving the transit hubs (ESRI 2019).

The new service is estimated to increase ridership by a range of 1,400 to 2,800 riders per weekday. Sound Transit's ST Express Bus service provides fast, frequent, reliable service connecting major population and employment centers in the Central Puget Sound region. ST Express provides limited stops and serves twenty-five transit centers and over thirty park & rides linking the three-county region. The ST Express system is experiencing challenges meeting its service standards and performance due to buses being overcrowded, delaying schedule and service reliability. These buses will ultimately support the entire network of ST Express bus routes that serve 23 designated regional centers in Snohomish, Pierce and King Counties For this application, Sound Transit is focusing the eleven buses on routes experiencing the most severe overcrowding and schedule reliability issues.

  • Chapter 5: Regional Transportation
    Chapter 5: Regional Transportation Introduction Redmond has a two-part role in regional transportation. First, many of the city’s transportation facilities are part of the regional travel network. Redmond’s streets carry regional pass-through traffic in addition to serving local circulation and access needs. Second, Redmond has interests in and relies on regional transportation projects and services that are the responsibility of other public agencies, including the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Sound Transit, and King County Metro. Redmond participates in regional transportation policymaking in a variety of settings, including standing committees (e.g., Eastside Transportation Partnership, King County Regional Transit Committee, and King County Growth Management Planning Council), task forces (e.g., the SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program, and I-90 Tolling), and representation on major regional transportation policy bodies (e.g. the Puget Sound Regional Council, Sound Transit Board). This chapter identifies Redmond’s regional transportation issues and interests, and the actions needed to support the Transportation Master Plan’s (TMP) strategies to prepare for light rail, strongly support urban centers, increase travel choices and mobility, improve neighborhood access, and increase freight mobility. Examples include: supporting Sound Transit 3 planning to extend East Link light rail to Downtown Redmond; implementation of the SR 520 Multimodal Corridor Study, improving regional corridors and increasing access to Redmond’s urban centers through better highways, streets, and trails; more effective transit connections between regional transit and jobs and housing, eliminating gaps in transit service between neighborhoods; and greater use of technology for the movement of people, freight, and goods.

  • John Tiscornia TRANSPORTATION NETWORK Multimodal Transportation Network Bellevue Is a Regional Hub with More Than 140,000 Residents and Nearly 150,000 Jobs
    2019 John Tiscornia TRANSPORTATION NETWORK Multimodal transportation network Bellevue is a regional hub with more than 140,000 residents and nearly 150,000 jobs. It’s critical that the city’s transportation network support our current population and future growth. We do this by supporting multiple options. We are dedicated to getting people where they need to go in Bellevue -- safely and efficiently. Amidst our growth, traffic congestion has become a greater challenge. More drivers are using city parallel arterials to reach their destinations. In response, several city-led initiatives are shaping Bellevue’s distinct urban character to better accommodate people who want to drive, walk, bike and take transit. These include: • Downtown Livability Initiative • Smart City strategy • BelRed Transformation • Vision Zero Action Plan • Pedestrian and Bicycle Implementation Initiative • Bike Share pilot program • Grand Connection project Within neighborhoods, more safety improvements, congestion reduction, sidewalk, bike lanes and maintenance projects are being funded by a 20-year, voter-approved neighborhood transportation levy. CITY OF BELLEVUE PAGE 2 ACCESS BELLEVUE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK More broadly, Bellevue is working closely with regional partners to improve transportation connections: • Sound Transit – Expanding light rail service to East King County with East Link service in 2023. • King County Metro – “Ride2” pilot program provides “first and last mile” shuttle service to and from Eastgate Park-and-Ride. • King County’s Eastside Rail Corridor – Development of a regional pedestrian-bicycle trail, part of which is already open in Bellevue. • Washington State Department of Transportation – Interstate 405 Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes project will improve mobility and reduce congestion.
