Advantages<br />
• Increases convenience for existing bus passengers<br />
• Encourages Park & Ride customers to take the bus<br />
• Attracts new bus riders<br />
• Can increase rail ridership<br />
Disadvantages<br />
• Increases capital <strong>and</strong> operating costs of new <strong>and</strong> enhanced bus services<br />
• Potential service cuts during poor economic conditions<br />
Options<br />
Options are groups of strategies designed to achieve one of the following out<strong>com</strong>es: shift,<br />
replace, or exp<strong>and</strong> parking. This study recognizes that there are multiple approaches to<br />
achieving these out<strong>com</strong>es, <strong>and</strong> presents nine total options (Table 30). The goal for each option<br />
is to balance Park & Ride access dem<strong>and</strong> with <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong>’s future as a TOD regional<br />
center. Assumptions previously outlined apply to all options, including that existing station<br />
area pedestrian <strong>and</strong> bicycle re<strong>com</strong>mendations will be addressed in the final TOD site plan.<br />
Note that enhanced bus connectivity is a strategy in every option. Regardless of which option is<br />
pursued for <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong>, bus connectivity should be enhanced to meet estimated future<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>. Enhanced bus services would further energize the station area with opportunities<br />
for further activity outside the peak periods, something that the peak-only nature of a Park &<br />
Ride facility would not provide. As shown in Figure 57, bus transfers to <strong>Metro</strong>rail are not as<br />
heavily concentrated in the morning peak as Park & Ride passengers, nor as concentrated in the<br />
afternoon peak as passengers who arrive by walking.<br />
