Project Scope King County Metro is increasing bus service on 8 routes. This service increase is identified as a high priority in Metro’s 2016 System Evaluation Report (called the Annual Service Guidelines Report in previous years). To provide this service, Metro will be acquiring 13 new buses. The request for grant funding would fund acquisition of 8 of the 13 expansion buses and construction of eight charging stations. These 8 buses will be slow-charge/extended range battery electric buses (BEB). The chargers would be installed at Metro’s South Base and the buses would operate out of South Base. Metro’s South Base is a bus maintenance and operations facility located in Tukwila that primarily serves south King County. The eight routes identified for service increase operate on corridors that connect eleven Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) designated Regional Growth Centers, three designated Regional Manufacturing/Industrial Centers, seven local King County Transit Activity Centers, as Regional Manufacturing/Industrial Centers, seven local King County Transit Activity Centers, as well as other park-and-rides and transit hubs and major destinations where significant transit investment is required to support projected growth in jobs and population. Project outcomes include: • Increased transit frequencies and ridership during peak, midday, and night service periods in the eight corridors. • Increased transit reliability and performance in the eight corridors. • Improve access to approximately 48,545 housing units and 233,521 jobs from all sectors along the routes according to analysis of 2016 PSRC data calculated within ¼ mile of bus stops. By 2040, these routes will provide access to 85,600 housing units and 310,350 jobs, a 76% and 33% increase respectively. • Increased ridership of 3,832 weekday riders or 15%, and 977,240 annual weekday trips by 2019 or 13% by 2019. • 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. 2. Project Justification, Need, or Purpose The purpose of this project is to allow Metro to provide electric buses and charging stations to support recommended high-priority service hour investments in eight service corridors serving south King County that will result in greater operational efficiencies and increased transit ridership. Metro’s goals are to provide high quality, reliable and efficient transit service to the residents, employees, and employers in King County and meet established targets for increasing efficiency and minimizing GHG and air pollutant emissions of the Metro fleet. This project would allow Metro to expand transit service to meet increased demand while having a positive impact on vehicle emissions and reduction of greenhouse gases. According to Metro’s 2016 System Evaluation Report, the eight routes serving these eight corridors averaged 24,776 trips each weekday and over 7.8 million annual trips in 2016. The routes operate on designated connecting centers corridors which provide Frequent and Very Frequent transit service to the centers; this designation is 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 eight corridors were prioritized in the top 13 corridors recommended for additional service investment in the 2016 System Evaluation Report. Metro prioritizes corridor investments according to measures and standards established in Metro’s service investment guidelines. The corridors were evaluated and scored based on existing ridership, travel time variability, schedule reliability, social equity, and connections to and between both regional and local centers. The scoring priority order helps ensure service investments are equitably distributed and productive. All eight routes operate out of a single base, South Base, where the eight proposed slow chargers are recommended for installation. Please see attachment Detailed Route Information.pdf for more detailed information about the routes. Metro’s 2017-18 budget includes funding to add 49,230 additional service hours on the routes. The service increases will require an additional thirteen 40 ft. buses including the 8 BEBs. The additional 5 standard diesel/electric buses are included in Metro’s budget (see attached budget documentation). This project would fund purchase of 8 slow-charge/extended range battery electric buses (BEB) and construction of eight charging stations at South Base. The 8 BEBs and charging infrastructure would meet recommended service increases while allowing Metro to pilot innovative zero-emission technology out of the base. Under a separate project, these buses and chargers would also be tested for 9-18 months to determine their ability to provide service on additional Metro routes in the future. Project Location 1. Project Location BEB chargers would be installed at Metro’s South Base in Tukwila, located at 12000 E Marginal Way S, Tukwila, WA 98168. Eight Metro routes which cover large areas of south King County: Metro Routes 101, 150, 153, 156, 169, 180, 181 and 183. 2. Please identify the county(ies) in which the project is located. King 3.

Is the project specifically identified in a local comprehensive plan? Yes 2. If yes, please indicate the (1) plan name, (2) relevant section(s), and (3) page number where it can be found. Yes, the project is consistent with King County’s Comprehensive Plan, King County’s 2015 Strategic Climate Action Plan (SCAP) and Metro’s Sustainability Plan (2014). King County Comprehensive Plan: • T-101 The Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-2021 and King County Metro Service Guidelines, or successor plans, shall guide the planning, development and implementation of the public transportation system and services operated by the King County Metro Transit Division. (p. 7-6) • T-103 In striving to meet the growing need for transportation services, King County shall seek to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of its services, infrastructure and facilities. (p 7-8) • T-204 King County should support local and regional growth plans and policies by focusing transit services on centers and other areas of concentrated activity. (p. 7-13) King County’s 2015 Strategic Climate Action Plan (SCAP) and Metro’s Sustainability Plan set targets and priority actions for reducing emissions and increasing efficiency, including an identified priority action of transitioning to an all-electric or hybrid motorbus fleet. Both plans are adopted into the King County Comprehensive Plan by reference. The SCAP establishes countywide GHG emissions reduction targets of 25 percent by 2020, 50 percent by 2030, and 80 percent by 2050, relative to a 2007 baseline. The County has committed to reducing GHG emissions from its own operations by 25 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2030, relative to a 2007 baseline. Metro’s Sustainability Plan establishes targets and directs priority actions for increasing the efficiency and minimizing the GHG and air pollutant emissions of the Metro fleet: • Increase ridership to 127 passenger boardings annually by 2015, to 142 million boardings by 2020, and to 225 million boardings by 2040, consistent with projections in PSRC’s Transportation 2040 plan (In 2015, Metro had 126 million boardings, a ridership record, though short of the 2015 goal). • Grow transit service through 2020 with no increase in GHG emissions. • Reduce criteria air pollutant emissions from the bus fleet by at least 10 percent by 2015 per vehicle miles traveled relative to 2009 levels. As of 2014, Metro had reduced criteria air pollutants by 54 percent. No new goals for beyond 2015 have yet been established. • Reduce energy use of all Metro fleet vehicles by 10 percent between 2014 and 2020. In 2015, normalized energy use per vehicle miles traveled in transit fleets declined by about 2.6 percent from 2014, suggesting a reduction of more than 7 percent is still required to reach the 2020 target. • Increase the use of alternative fuels (e.g. electricity, biofuels) in Metro’s fleet by 10 percent by 2025, relative to 2014. To reach the 2025 target, alternative fuel use county-wide must increase by 1 percent annually. 3. If no, please describe how the project is consistent with
