Coordinated Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan

The Coordinated Plan includes:

• The latest demographic profiles of special

needs population in central Puget Sound— youth, older adults, people with disabilities, people with low-incomes, veterans and LEP* individuals

• Needs and gaps for people with special

transportation needs

• Prioritized strategies to address the needs

and gaps of special needs transportation populations

*LEP: Limited English Proficient (having English proficiency below “very well”)

Number of Older Adults:

+22% Growing Number of People with Special Transportation Needs (2011-2018)

Total Special Needs Population:

+8%

Phase 1

Sep 2021 King County Council Approves Service Changes Light rail opens and bus changes implemented “Stay Home-Stay Healthy” Order Issued

Key Themes We Heard in Phase 2

• Transfers should be between frequent services where possible, especially

during midday, night, and weekends.

• Improve transit connections to/from major community assets and important

destinations (Urban Centers, Hospitals, Universities, etc.).

• Provide fast and reliable bus connections to Link so travel times are better

than or similar to what’s experienced today.

• Improve east-west and crosstown connections.
• Provide reliable service all-day and especially during the busiest times of

day.

• Provide transit connections that are safe, convenient, and easy to

understand for all riders.

Hopelink survey

• March – April 2020
• 109 respondents, active riders and non-riders
• Incentivized participation – preloaded ORCA cards

I would consider riding the bus if I could get to my destination

I would consider riding the bus if service was reliably available during

I would consider taking the bus if it would connect me to the LINK Light Rail system.

Fall 2020 North – What else should we consider?

Currently planned:

• Virtual meetings with our Mobility Board and Partner Review

Board

• Conversations with city staff
• Online survey
• Partnership with community-based organizations
• Hopelink
• University District Food Bank

Project Update: NKCMC Gaps Analysis

Review: Project Goal

The NKCMC will examine the factors that impact the use

• f fixed-route transit, first-last mile solutions, and

community-based transportation options in the North King County (NKC) area (North Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park (LFP), Kenmore, Bothell, and Woodinville) and the surrounding region through data analysis and community engagement.

Survey trends at a glance:

• Top destinations people currently travel to include

Downtown Seattle, Shoreline, nearby Snohomish Co., Lake Forest Park, various destinations within North Seattle, Bothell and Kirkland

• Locations identified as hard to access included various

locations within North Seattle, Bellevue, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, SeaTac and nearby Snohomish Co.

Survey trends at a glance:

• Barriers impeding travel included lengthy travel trips, too

many transfers, no bus stop near a house or destination and incomplete biking infrastructure

• People who identified as bus users tended to not have a

car or did not drive, stated busses were cheaper, used it for their commute and disliked parking

• People who did not use the bus felt the trip took too long

given the distance, did not have a bus stop near them, or felt unsafe on the bus

Stakeholder interview trends at a glance:

• Stakeholder insights varied by city and region, but some
• verarching trends can be observed:

 Immigrants may have a difficult time due to language barriers  Increased coordination across counties is needed  Cost can be prohibitive for special-needs transportation providers  Many bus lines in North King County follow single route corridors (i.e. state route522, Bothell/Everett Highway, Ballinger Way)

Thoughts?

• Particularly on ways to cross analyze the survey. Are

there any demographics, regions or groups you have a particular interest in?
