Process:
Conduct an assessment of existing park-and-ride route structure and develop alternative
concepts and strategies for serving suburban locations. Assess an enhanced route structure
that includes express routes between major trip generators (i.e. downtown, U of R Medical
Center). Develop projected ridership impacts, operational impacts, revenue vehicle
requirements, capital costs and operating costs. Investigate the feasibility of developing
multi-use satellite transit centers that would include tenants (i.e. daycare centers and
convenience stores) and development partners (housing, retail, commercial).
