EVERETT 2044 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6/17/2025 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br /> Page 99 <br />The Future Transportation Network <br />As the City of Everett plans for increasing population, employment, and overall levels of activity, the <br />transportation network will need to evolve. This section documents these future conditions – placing <br />them in the context of planned transportation improvements – and discusses overall modal network <br />policies to understand modal gaps and needs. <br />Future Transit Planning <br />Everett Transit, Community Transit, and Sound Transit operate the bulk of transit service in the city. This <br />section describes how each agency is planning to enhance transit service in Everett. <br />Everett Transit <br />The Everett Transit Long Range Plan has listed the following priorities to achieve by 2040: <br />1. Prioritize transit service into the areas that will likely see the greatest amount of growth. <br />2. Ensure the level of transit service along a corridor is supported by future household and job <br />density. <br />3. Restructure routes to integrate with regional transit investments. <br />Figure 8 shows the Growth Network Plan that was developed through input from the community and <br />interested stakeholders to envision how Everett Transit should restructure and grow to meet its <br />increasing needs. Public Input was gathered in three phases in 2017 and 2018. The first phase asked the <br />public for their vision for future service and transit values. That feedback generated two network <br />options, which were presented to the public in the second outreach phase. Community feedback guided <br />the selection of one of those options for the Growth Network Plan. In the third phase of public <br />engagement, the community reviewed the draft plan, which included a financial analysis. The public <br />voiced their desire for a locally focused transit network with high frequency and expanded service hours <br />that connects to key destinations and regional transit services. <br />This Transportation Element update includes projects that will implement that vision. Including, one <br />element of future planning efforts for the North Everett and Evergreen Way Community Hubs. Ongoing <br />coordination with transit agencies will help shape access and infrastructure to and within the hubs.
