Specifications include, but are not limited to: Review the 2009 Treasure Valley High Capacity Transit Study Priority Corridor Phase 1 Alternatives Analysis2 and related materials and update assumptions as needed. o Changes in land use, roads, population density and distribution, bus routes, businesses, activity centers, and other factors should be considered as part of this review. o In addition, ValleyConnect 2.0 should be referenced for planned improvements to the bus network. Based on the purpose and need from the 2009 study, updates to meet current conditions and needs, and input from PTWG, define the purpose of the fixed guideway corridor. The purpose will determine the fixed guideway mode and alignment option(s) to be pursued for this corridor. Based on the system purpose, determine other features of the system: o Identify trade-offs between speed and access (number of stops, degree of transit priority and/or level of separation, etc.) o Determine ridership thresholds needed to support this purpose. o Determine the travel time between jurisdictions. o Identify the necessary supporting investments, including local transit connections, park and ride facilities, etc.
