EVERETT 2044 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 6/17/2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Page 96 Mode splits for Everett residents commuting to work are shown in the table below. These data do not represent other trip types, such as recreational trips or shopping, but captures an important segment of travel that strongly influences peak hour congestion levels in Everett. The share of commute trips by vehicle has decreased by almost 10% since 2011, and the most notable change is the number of people now working from home.

Parking The majority of Metro Everett has on-street parking. There are also several private off-street parking options in this area available for use including the Everpark Garage which is a 495-stall parking garage owned by the City. Additionally, some major arterials and collector arterials in Everett, such as NW Broadway and Colby Avenue, have on-street parking. In 2015, a parking utilization study was completed for Everett’s downtown area and included a survey of both on- and off-street parking. The area is bounded by 25th Street to the north, Broadway to the east, 32nd Street to the south, and the terminus of Hewitt Avenue to the west. The downtown area has a high percentage of 90-minute stalls, with a limited supply of stalls with 30-minute, 1-hour, and 2-hour limits. There are no stalls with 10-minute, 15-minute, or 4-hour limits. The peak hour for the on-street public inventory was 11 AM to 12 PM, and the peak-hour occupancy was 65%. Safety A common thread among all transportation modes is the need to get to one’s destination safely. The most recent five years of traffic collision data (2018-2022) in Everett were analyzed to identify safety hotspots and overall collision trends in the City. The information summarized below excludes I-5 and US 2. Between January 2018 and December 2022, there were a total of 10,415 collisions reported in the city. Injuries were reported in 3,086 (30%) collisions, and 48 resulted in fatalities. While collisions involving pedestrians (329) and cyclists (131) were a small portion of the total, these collisio ns are much more likely to result in injuries and fatalities. Of the total fatalities, 54% were vehicle-vehicle collisions, and 46% involved a pedestrian. An estimated 401 collisions occurred due to the influence of alcohol.
