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).

Project Scope This project will purchase eleven High Capacity Transit (HCT) buses needed to provide 15,000 additional ST Express bus hours. 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.
