d) Paratransit plan <br /> e) Service design and performance guidelines—example: Everett Transit Long Range Plan has a <br /> service design metric to have 85%of Everett's population and jobs within 1/2 mile of transit. <br /> How does that change with the unification alternative? <br /> 2) Capital Implications <br /> a) Maintenance and operating base assumptions <br /> b) Electric buses <br /> c) Disposition of capital assets including stations, base, buses,on-street investments in stops, <br /> shelters,signage, etc. <br /> 3) Fares—As an issue of importance to Everett residents is what happens to fares. This needs to <br /> be clearly understood. <br /> 4) Labor Implications <br /> a) Impacts to Everett Transit labor force and mitigation strategies <br /> b) Impact to Motor Vehicle Staff—not ET employees <br /> c) Impact to other departments partially funded by ET funds—Legal, HR, Purchasing, <br /> Accounting, Payroll,etc. <br /> 5) Implementation—How could the transition be rolled out? <br /> 6) Governance—What are the implications and alternatives in moving away from localized <br /> control? <br /> Deliverables:Service Network Definition for each five-year period to include the descriptive metrics list <br /> in the task objectives. <br /> Operating and Capital cost updated estimates for each five-year period. <br /> White papers with descriptive information on fares, labor,governance, paratransit plan, and <br /> implementation.These will compare and contrast each of these topic areas for each alternative. <br /> Task 3.3-No Action Alternative <br /> The dimensions of the no action alternative are well understood as efforts over the past year have <br /> focused on questions surrounding the status quo. Even though this alternative is not favored by the <br /> Administration,or the Council,for purposes of comparison it must be maintained at the same level of <br /> detail as the other alternatives. This needs to be an objective assessment to ensure it is realistic and not <br /> presented as a doomsday scenario.This is important as many agencies presenting ballot initiatives have <br /> been accused of exaggerating the outcomes of the status quo alternative as a means to influence voters. <br /> This can be a slippery slope so ensuring an objective and defensible view of a status quo alternative is <br /> vital to the veracity of the process.Therefore,the workplan includes an on-going effort to maintain the <br /> no action scenario at the same level of development as the action scenarios.This includes a financial <br /> Page 10 of 14 <br />
