BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
NOTICE OF SPECIAL STUDY SESSION MEETING
Date: April 6, 2017
Pierce Transit is considering potential applications of high capacity transit (HCT) along the Pacific Avenue S/SR 7 Corridor. An HCT Feasibility Study for the Corridor began in February 2017, with the intent of selecting a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the Corridor by spring 2018. Should the LPA be determined to be a HCT mode, the project would proceed through environmental documentation and funding applications and, eventually, into design and construction.
A Purpose and Need Statement is a critical element of the study since it documents what Pierce Transit intends to accomplish with the project (Purpose) and the problems with the current service that the project would address (Need). The Purpose and Need Statement is supported by goals that are linked to the project purpose (typically with one goal for each primary element of the Purpose Statement). In turn, each goal is supported by one or more evaluation measures that are used to evaluate specific alternatives. The evaluation measures should be non-duplicative, non-distracting (e.g., only measure things that inform the ultimate decision), and easy to understand by policymakers and the public.
The Regular Board Meeting will follow at 4:00 p.m.
