14 <br /> • Conducted more than 100 development permit reviews (SEPA)to determine the relative <br /> impact of the proposed projects on transit. Suggested transit-friendly components to mitigate <br /> those impacts. <br /> Section VI: Proposed Action Strategies, 2005 -2010 <br /> For the 2005-2010-time period,the following action strategies will be pursued to meet the five (5) <br /> State Policy Objectives listed below. <br /> 1) Preserve existing public transportation service levels. <br /> • With additional revenue available from a voter authorized increase in sales tax, ET will <br /> continue to restore service reduced since 2001. <br /> Monitor and modify, as necessary, during the short-term, fixed route service to optimize <br /> service effectiveness. <br /> Objective#1: Conduct daily boarding counts on fixed route service and institute supplemental <br /> monitoring measures. <br /> Objective#2: Evaluate performance indicators and institute appropriate modifications to the <br /> system to achieve established goals of service effectiveness and cost efficiency. <br /> Objective#3: Utilize public comments and information from public meetings to develop route <br /> and schedule changes for even greater customer service. <br /> Objective#4: Implement Global Position Satellite(GPS)tracking systems on all fixed route <br /> vehicles to confirm trip travel times and adjust accordingly. <br /> Improve fixed route effectiveness by increasing boardings-per-revenue-hour. <br /> Objective#1: Through the use of transit's boarding count database, identify those trips that have <br /> boardings that are below the systems average boardings-per-revenue-hours. <br /> Objective#2: Delete or modify those trips that are below the systems average boardings-per- <br /> revenue-hour, as appropriate. <br /> Objective#3: Increase service to meet the demand on the routes/trips that have the potential to <br /> exceed the systems average boardings-per-revenue-hour. <br /> Objective#4: Develop target-marketing strategies based on ridership surveys that identify service <br /> enhancements or improvements in the delivery of service. <br /> Implement transit's long-range comprehensive transportation plan. <br /> Objective#1: Continue to use the current comprehensive transit plan to best determine how <br /> transit can complement the changes within the City of Everett. This would incorporate the <br /> continuing development of Everett Station as a regional transportation hub, the revitalization of <br /> the Everett downtown area, and the ongoing development of regional transportation services <br /> implemented under the authority of Sound Transit. <br />
