<br />. <br /> <br />v. DEVELOPMENT OF MULTI-MODAL <br />TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIES <br /> <br />The transit options that were defined and preliminarily screened, as well as the previously identified <br />highway options were used in the development of the multi-modal transportation strategies. A total <br />of nine strategies were developed by blending the transit and highway options. <br /> <br />1. MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIES <br /> <br />1.1 DEFINITION <br /> <br />No Build, Transportation Management/Bus Improvements, and Build comprised the transit and <br />highway options that were evaluated in the study corridor. The multi-modal transportation <br />strategies are defined below. A detailed discussion of each option is also included in this report. <br /> <br />· The No Build option included only those roadway and transit improvements defined in the <br />appropriate agencies' Long Range Transportation Plans and Transit Development Plans for <br />which funding has been committed. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />· Transportation Management options included lower-cost transit operation and infrastructure <br />modifications that improve service efficiency and effectiveness. They also represent the <br />baseline to which other options will be compared. <br /> <br />· Build options included various higher-cost bus and rail-based alternatives and new roadway <br />implementation that may require a significant construction effort and investment in <br />infrastructure. Based on recommendations from the evaluation of transit technologies, build <br />options shall include bus, commuter rail and light rail transit. <br />'" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor Major Investment Study <br />Conceptual Definition of Alternatives <br />February 1999 <br /> <br />V-I <br />
