- Concentrate major office centers at stations along the corridors and in the Center City. This is the key land use strategy supporting transit for it enables more people to take advantage of rapid transit as an alternative to driving.
- Focus more residential multi-family development at stations in the corridors and the Center City rather than dispersed throughout the County.
- Establish Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the Independence, Airport and University Corridors.
- Develop rail technology in the North Corridor along the existing rail alignment, but only if appropriate land use designations and development occur to support rail. The proposed rail system is also complemented by some BRT improvements.
Figure 14:
- Develop rail technology in the South Corridor along the existing rail alignment.
- Provide feeder bus services to the "wedges" (areas between the corridors) and link these feeders to transit centers and stations.
- Increase local and express bus services to supplement rapid transit and include expanded hours of operation and special services for the elderly and people with disabilities.
- Expand local and express bus services for the towns.
Costs
Capital costs to build the rapid transit system total $760 million over 25 years (see table 1). This includes a 30 percent construction contingency to account for unanticipated expenses to implement the plan.
