Headline Copy Goes Here Headline Copy Goes HereIntroduction to Microtransit Microtransit is an innovative service that is often used to serve low -density or hard-to-reach places that do not have the ridership to support fixed-route service but have populations with high transit propensity. Microtransit: •Utilizes shuttles or vans •On-demand (like Uber/Lyft) service in a defined zone •Complements and supports fixed-route service Fixed Route: •Public transit like buses, trains, or light rail •Follows a set route and schedule •Stops are fixed at specific locations Spare Labs Microtransit vs. Fixed Route Headline Copy Goes Here 8 Transit Concept Summaries 1. Travel Patterns •Emphasizes high-frequency, direct service on high-traffic roads •No microtransit included • Geared toward overall travel patterns rather than individual rider needs 2. Rider Demand • Service for transit-reliant communities •Direct routes connecting to most transit-reliant populations • Some microtransit included • Optimized for equity and access 3. Condensed Fixed Route & Microtransit •Limited fixed route, microtransit for lower density areas •Core network geared toward most transit-propense areas •Microtransit fills gaps in less dense neighborhoods •May require more transfers but increases overall coverage Headline Copy Goes Here 9 Keep in Mind •Proposed scenarios are high-level philosophies/approaches to transit service delivery •Focus feedback on trade-offs associated with each approach •Scenario maps are high-level. Stops are not included, and you may not see exact routing but rather broad connections between key areas/corridors. •You will not see all routes on the maps. Routes not shown, but will continue to operate as-is include: •HORN •FLEX* •GOLD •FHS The final transit plan will likely not be one of the three proposed scenarios – it will be a blended hybrid. *May include altered hours or other modifications Headline Copy Goes HereScenario Evaluation Considerations Equity considerations Cost effectiveness Ridership levels Environmental benefit City priority alignment Economic health benefit Community feedback Headline Copy Goes Here Headline Copy Goes Here 12 Scenario 1: Travel Patterns High frequency, direct, fixed routes in areas with the highest amount of existing travel.

Scenario 1: Travel Patterns Scenario 2: Rider Demand Scenario 3: Condensed with Microtransit Headline Copy Goes Here 26 Scenario Feedback 1.What do you like/dislike about each scenario? 2.Questions and tradeoffs to think about: •Are there any routes you would swap frequencies between (i.e. increase frequency of one route and decrease another)? •Are there any routes that you would re-direct or re-route? •Are the microtransit zones in the right areas? •Are there proposed routes that you would replace with an existing route? 3.Share out! Reminders: •The final plan will be a hybrid of scenarios • Focus on trade-offs •Scenario maps are high-level •You will not see all routes on the maps Headline Copy Goes Here 27 Project Process 1. Analysis • Analyze existing conditions • Conduct literature review of best practices •Interview agencies with successful recovery 2. Concepts •Develop draft concepts •Establish initial impact criteria 3. Feedback •Revisit TMP goals • Gather input from CAC and TAC •Align with Council •Gather community feedback 4. Evaluation •Finalize evaluation criteria •Evaluate based on criteria metrics 5. Final Recommendation Next steps! Headline Copy Goes Here
