City Partnerships Helped Make E Line Service Better
February 2014 Line Starting February 15, riders traveling along Aurora Avenue N between Shoreline, north Seattle and downtown Seattle will experience the benefits of RapidRide. Improving speed and reliability RapidRide includes many features that will make travel on this heavily used corridor more reliable and quick. These include roadway improvements such as transit signal priority through busy intersections and the spacing of bus stops about every half-mile. In partnership with the cities of Shoreline and Seattle, BAT (business access and transit) lanes are provided along nearly the full length of the corridor to help buses get through congestion. Funded by the 2006 Transit Now initiative that started Metro’s RapidRide also uses a fare RapidRide program, the E Line—the fifth of six RapidRide payment system that speeds lines—is ready to launch. Ridership has grown quickly on the up boarding. At stations with first four RapidRide lines, which serve busy corridors around off-board ORCA card readers, King County.

G-1 A-1 Appendix B: METRO CONNECTS Capital Facilities – Passenger Facility Improvements Appendix A. Service Network Service Terms Glossary Alternative services: Transportation services tailored to meet specific community needs. Metro plans and provides these services with partner support throughout King County. Often, the served community lacks the infrastructure, density or land rights to support traditional, fixed-route bus service. Metro’s alternative services include: VanPool, VanShare, Community Access Transportation (CAT), Dial-a-Ride Transit (DART), Community Shuttles, Community Hub and Flexible Rideshare. (See definitions of these services below.) Bus Bulb: Bus bulbs are curb extensions that align the bus stop with the parking lane, allowing buses to stop and board passengers without ever leaving the travel lane. Bus bulbs help buses move faster and more reliably by decreasing the amount of time lost when merging in and out of traffic. Carpool: Commuters travelling similar routes can connect on the Metro Rideshare website and share rides in personal vehicles. Community Access Transportation (CAT): A program that complements paratransit (ACCESS) service by filling service gaps in partnership with nonprofit agencies, such as those serving seniors or people with disabilities. Custom Bus: A program that serves King County commuters and students who travel to locations not well served by fixed-route transit. -
Arterial BRT Corridor Concepts
Arterial BRT Corridor Concepts December 2020 Central Concept Station Locations From north to south, the corridor begins at Northtown Mall in Blaine and ends in downtown Minneapolis. The Central preliminary concept identifies 30 station intersections over the approximately 13.0-mile corridor. Today, the corridor is primarily served by Route 10. Considerations in the corridor: • The station at University and 69th Avenue in Fridley differs from the station siting identified in the 2012 Arterial Transitway Corridors Study (ATCS) due to new developments in the area. The station would also serve Fridley city hall. • A station is sited to the west of the intersection of Central Avenue & 53rd Avenue, near Target. • Stations at 49th Avenue and 45th Avenue could be shifted to better serve the Hilltop mobile home community. • The station at 41st Avenue would be on-street, removing the current pull-in to the Columbia Heights Transit Center. • Station siting in the segment between the Columbia Heights Transit Center and Lowry Avenue in Minneapolis with low existing Route 10 ridership could be adjusted; planning should consider a station near apartment homes at 35th Avenue. • Mid-block station siting between University Avenue and 4th Street along Central would facilitate transfers to the METRO E Line. • The current alignment would partially operate on a new Washington Avenue transit spine in downtown Minneapolis. • Future planning should consider an alternative alignment that uses the Hennepin Avenue bridge to cross the Mississippi River, then travels along East Hennepin Avenue and Northeast 1st Avenue in northeast Minneapolis. Such may alleviate the potential for shared station and alignment issues along the proposed Washington Avenue transit spine at South 3rd Avenue & Washington Avenue. -

East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results
East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results About the Corridor The AECOM consultant team conducted a high-level analysis of commuter rail, light rail transit (LRT), streetcar and bus rapid transit (BRT) to determine the most appropriate mode for the East- West Corridor. Based on the corridor fit, ridership capacity, cost per mile to build/operate and available right-of-way, BRT will move forward for more detailed analysis. This fact sheet provides, in more detail, how BRT and LRT compared and why BRT was determined to be the best fit. BRT with LRT Screening Results Below are the similarities and differences between bus rapid transit (BRT) and light rail transit (LRT).
