The document discusses the results of Sound Transit's public comment period on its draft ST3 expansion plan from March 29 to May 2, 2016. There was high participation in online surveys and written comments. The top priorities identified were expanding light rail south to Tacoma, north to Everett, and east to Redmond and Issaquah. Support for expanding and funding mass transit remains strong overall, though some concerns were raised about the length of the proposed project timelines.
Ipsos conducted its first quarterly SPEC survey during the period of 28th March to 7th April 2015. The topics covered in this Media Release are: (1) corruption, (2) the al-Shabaab threat, and (3) the digital migration. The questionnaire was finalized immediately after the President’s ‘State of the Nation’ address to parliament. Because the Garissa attack occurred after fieldwork had begun, no questions about this tragic event could be included. However, since about two-thirds of all field interviews had been completed by 2nd April, and the final one-quarter were conducted between 3rd and 7th April, it has been possible to compare responses on certain relevant questions by these two sections of the respondents.

Sharing the Road, Sharing the Bike by Jennifer McGrathRail~Volution
This document discusses plans for expanding the GREENbike bike sharing system along the Wasatch Front region of Utah. The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) sees bike sharing as an important part of its strategy to address growing transportation demands in the region by providing first/last mile connections to transit. UTA's service area is experiencing rapid population growth, increasing traffic congestion, and limited options for expanding roadways. Bike sharing has been shown to increase public transit ridership and reduce personal vehicle trips. The GREENbike system in Salt Lake City has experienced strong ridership growth since launching in 2013. UTA and regional partners are now studying how to expand and regionalize the GREENbike system to connect more communities along the Wasatch Front and

Coomunbity buy in is dependent upon perceived (and actual) value, sound strategy, and well constructed priorities.
Proposed Street Design Updates-VDOT Summer 2015 RepavingFairfax County
The County of Fairfax Department of Transportation is proposing a road diet for Kingstowne Village Parkway between Beulah Street and Hayfield Road as part of a summer 2015 repaving project. The road diet would reduce the four travel lanes to two lanes with a center turn lane and bike lanes. This is supported by the County's Bicycle Master Plan and would improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians by lowering speeds and reducing crashes by 20-50%. Community input is being gathered on the proposal, with final plans to be completed in April and construction starting in the summer of 2015.
The document reports on a survey of state departments of transportation regarding their awareness and implementation of the U.S. Bike Route System. Key findings include that most states are aware of the system but face barriers like lack of resources and priority from DOTs. Some states have had success partnering with advocacy groups who take on outreach and planning work. Future research will focus on how states are signing and promoting designated routes.
The document summarizes an analysis of MBTA Route 71 performance. It finds that the schedule is unrealistic and cannot be met due to insufficient buses, leading to long wait times. It recommends aligning internal and printed schedules, setting realistic schedules based on data, and spacing buses more uniformly to reduce maximum wait times and improve the rider experience. Uniform wait times, occupancy, and bus speeds are proposed to achieve equilibrium across the route.
2017 Info Night Presentation - Community Survey - Town of Hartford, VermontF. X. Flinn
The survey of Hartford residents found generally high satisfaction with town services. Most respondents wanted funding for services to remain the same, though some favored increased funding for roads and libraries. A plurality preferred a budget strategy that would somewhat reduce services to limit tax increases. Most favored curbside trash pickup and increased parking downtown. While many were involved through voting, few attended meetings or served on committees. Direct mail, email, and the town website were cited as best for town communication, with preferences varying by age.
This presentation provides an overview of College Station's Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan. It discusses accomplishments since the original 2010 plan, including adding over 150 acres of greenway property and over 9 miles of trails. It outlines the current update process, including public feedback received that calls for more bike lanes, trails, sidewalks, and improved road maintenance to encourage alternative transportation. The next steps include further review and revisions over the summer, with a goal of adoption of the updated plan in the fall.
Each year Albuquerque participates in Bike to Work Day (BTWD), which is meant to raise awareness about commuting
by bicycle and serves as a day to encourage people to trade four wheels for two. In recent years, the Mid-Region Council
of Governments (MRCOG) in collaboration with BTWD organizers, developed and distributed a survey to BTWD
participants to collect data about bicycling needs, collect general perceptions of bicycling in Albuquerque, and identify
specific strategies to make Albuquerque more bicycle friendly. As more data is collected, the survey can gauge changes
in perceptions about bicycling in Albuquerque and serve as a reference for future survey data.
For the third year in a row, there was an overall perception that Albuquerque’s bicycle friendliness was improving.
Comments underscored the impact of premium bicycle infrastructure such as protected bike lanes and flex posts among
other elements. Also, survey questions helped to identify concerns and barriers for people bicycling and understand
specific areas for further outreach at future events.

Next steps include further reports and public hearings on the plan in the coming months.
Center City Connector Executive SummaryZach Shaner
The document provides an executive summary of the Center City Connector project in Seattle, Washington. The project would expand Seattle's streetcar system with 1.25 miles of new trackway connecting the South Lake Union and First Hill streetcar lines. It describes the locally preferred alternative (LPA) selected, which would run from Westlake Station south on 1st Avenue, with some segments running in mixed traffic and some in an exclusive transit lane. Construction of the LPA is expected to begin in fall 2017 and take 12-24 months, occurring in four primary phases. Potential impacts of the project include temporary increases in traffic during construction and reduced vehicle capacity on 1st Avenue during operation, but the project would provide long-term benefits like
The Seattle City Council will discuss the upcoming closure of SR 99 through downtown Seattle for tunnel construction. SR 99 will close for approximately two weeks between South Spokane Street and the Battery Street Tunnel. Agencies have implemented monitoring of the viaduct and protection measures. During the closure, transit and traffic management plans will be coordinated and people will be informed through various outreach methods.
The document summarizes Sound Transit's process for evaluating projects for inclusion in Sound Transit 3 (ST3). It outlines the ST3 timeline, including a Board workshop in December 2015 to present analysis of ST3 candidate projects and evaluation criteria. A sample project template is shown that will be used to provide information for each candidate project like ridership, capital costs, and issues. Evaluation measures are also listed that will be used to assess projects, such as ridership, cost, travel time, and connections to regional centers. Next steps include continued outreach and developing a draft system plan for public comment leading to a potential 2016 ballot measure.
Sound Transit is studying four alternatives for extending the Link light rail line from Seattle to Federal Way in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The alternatives include alignments along Interstate 5 or State Route 99 and station locations along those corridors. The document provides maps and descriptions of the different alignment and station options being considered under each alternative.

After falling from 2014 levels, voter optimism is holding steady with just over half feeling the region is
headed in the right direction. The wrong track percentage is close to a 10 year low.
Do you feel that things in the Puget Sound region are generally going in the right direction or do you feel things
have gotten pretty seriously off on the wrong track?

Expanding transit and specifically light rail are top priorities, both overall and in intensity. Spending
more on roads is least urgent by a large margin.
I’m going to read you a list of transportation issues in Puget Sound. For each, I would like to know how urgent you feel it
is to address that transportation issue. You can use a scale of one to seven, where one means that issue is not at all
urgent, and seven means that issue is extremely urgent. You can use any number from one to seven.

Specific Proposal to Expand ST Services
The proposal would expand light-rail and commuter-rail and build new bus
rapid transit services in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, including
new light rail south to Tacoma north to Everett, and east to Downtown
Redmond and Issaquah, and new light rail in Seattle to Ballard and West
Seattle. The plan makes expedited investments in new Bus Rapid Transit
service in dedicated lanes on I-405 and SR 518 from Lynnwood to Burien
and on SR 522 from Bothell creating a connection to light rail at Shoreline
on I-5. It provides immediate funding for increasing bus speeds and
reliability by running buses on the shoulders of I-5, I-405 SR 518, and SR
167 where possible. This proposal would authorize Sound Transit to
impose an additional five-tenths of 1% sales and use tax, an eight-tenths
of 1% motor vehicle excise tax, and a ₵25 per $1000 of assessed value
residential property tax, and to use existing taxes to fund the local share of
the $50B estimated cost with independent audits.

Key Takeaways
Support for the package tested is a strong majority (65%).
The geographically closest projects to a respondent tend to be
the most popular.
Light rail is always among the top three most popular projects in
each sub-area. BRT and Sounder are also among the top projects
in sub-areas where such services are geographically close.
Support does not change (65%) after the potential project list is
described.
This survey asks about package cost per individual ($200) after
respondents hear the project components. There is a small drop
in support, but this drop is just outside the margin of error.
Respondents also hear about project delivery timelines. While
there is still a strong majority in support (59%) after the timelines
are explained, proposal support drops 6 points.ST Executive Committee 5/5/16 31
