<br /> <br />2025 TDP – FINAL DRAFT 11 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2024 ACCOMPLISHMENTS <br />SERVICE <br />In 2024, Everett Transit experienced another strong year of ridership growth, achieving a 32% increase for the third <br />consecutive year. This growth directly reflects the benefits of the 11% service expansion implemented in June <br />2023, which was fully realized throughout 2024 and strategically designed to meet the evolving mobility needs of <br />the community. Planning efforts during the year prioritized system optimization and schedule integrity, ensuring <br />reliable and efficient service delivery. Staff conducted service adjustments to improve schedule performance, <br />advanced modeling for future service enhancements in south Everett, and actively participated in the development <br />of the City’s Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element. Additionally, system recalibration work was initiated to <br />support long-range service planning and guide future network improvements. <br /> <br /> <br />FIXED-ROUTE <br />• Passenger Trips: 1,751,902 <br />(32% increase from 2023) <br />• Revenue Hours: 108,748 <br />• Revenue Miles: 1,274,180 <br /> <br />PARATRANSIT <br />• Passenger Trips: 83,305 <br />(11% increase from 2024) <br />• Revenue Hours: 36,791 <br />• Revenue Miles: 412,193 <br /> <br /> <br />CAPITAL PROJECTS & FACILITIES <br />Everett Transit advanced several key capital projects in 2024 to maintain and improve system infrastructure. <br />These included: <br />• Planning efforts for the Mall Station relocation project. This relocation accommodates redevelopment at <br />the mall and notably increases operational safety and efficiency while significantly improving community <br />accessibility. <br />• Planning for the addition of simme-seats at 94 bus stops currently without this amenity. This seating will <br />enhance the customer experience and improve transit accessibility for our community. <br />• Completed the installation of 10 inductive charging stalls at Operations and moved forward with the <br />installation of a fast-charging cabinet charger. These key infrastructure elements provide capacity and <br />resiliency to the battery electric segment of the fixed route fleet. <br />• Work continued on inductive charging stations located at key transit centers to effectively extend the <br />operating range of the battery electric segment of the fleet. <br />• Everett Station capital projects involved multiple facility enhancements, including elevator rehabilitation, <br />design work for a new HVAC system, installation of security badge readers, upgrades to wayfinding <br />signage, and the beginning phases of the Great Hall entrance remodel. Additional projects included <br />upgrades to the fire alarm control panels and completion of ADA accessibility improvements.
