Realignment criteria
Program affordability
Criterion Concept
System affordability Is the full program affordable at the system level?
Subarea affordability Is the full program affordable at the subarea level?
31
ST3 development core principles
Criterion Concept
Completing the spine Does the project advance the regional HCT spine?
Connecting centers Does the project connect designated regional centers?
Ridership potential How many daily riders is the project projected to serve?
How well does the project expand mobility for transit-
Socio-economic equity
dependent, low-income, and/or diverse populations?
Advancing logically Can the project be included financially once projects
beyond the spine that advance the spine are included?
32
Other project considerations
Criterion Concept
Operability How important is the project to operating current or new service?
Sequencing Must the project be completed for other projects to happen?
Constructability Can the project be built in increments?
Readiness How close is the project to opening for service?
Tenure How long have voters been waiting for the project?
Equity Do communities the project serves have other transit options?
Outside funding Are other funding sources available or secured?
33
Next steps
Week of June 8 Executive Committee (criteria).
June 25 Board meeting (scenario & criteria).
Summer Direction on projects paused pending realignment.
