“IT’S ONLY 6 MORE MINUTES!”• .6 Miles / 8 Miles Per Hour = About 5 minutes per trip

Plus one minute of time to allow loading and unloading= 6 minutes per trip into shopping center or .1 Hours/Trip

• Cost to Operate Service $72.31/Hour = $7.23 per deviation

• 15 Northbound Trips, 15 Southbound Trips

• 30 Trips * $7.23 for Additional Running Time = $216.93/Day

• 255 Weekdays, 52 Saturdays

• $216.93*307 Days= $66,597.51 more per year

• Over 20 Years with 3% annual inflation = $1,843,185.03• **Amount has not been adjusted for fares, typically fares cover

• Pace Technical Assistance Review Program (TRAP)

Internal Review‐approval Procedures

• Conduct development reviews in terms of transit and pedestrian access

• Review requirements do they support corridor’s vision?Review requirements, do they support corridor s vision?

Pl i d l d d i i h di t fi i l• Planning and land use decisions have a direct financial impact on transit operations and quality of service

• Transit supportive design is an achievable goalTransit supportive design is an achievable goal 

• Follow an incremental approach

• Challenge the auto‐oriented cultural mindsetg
