Comprehensive Transit Service Plan EVERETTTRANSIT Executive Summary alternative represents operations similar to those in effect for Everett Transit in February, 2003. Fixed Route Services Under the Current Operations Alternative, transit services would be permitted outside of the City of Everett corporate limits to preserve existing services and markets and to preserve connections to other regional and sub-regional carriers. Services outside the City would not be permitted to establish new regional connections or to serve additional destinations. Under this alternative, service to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal on routes 23 and 25 would be permitted to continue but additional routes to this or other destinations outside the City of Everett would not be permitted. Additional service improvements to the fixed route network could be increased frequency or span of service of existing fixed routes, the development of new routes or the development of new classes of service. New services would be added only when additional costs could be borne by existing revenue sources. Paratransit Services In the Current Operations Alternative, paratransit services would operate under essentially the same eligibility policies as at present, surpassing mandated ADA requirements. Paratransit services are made available to the disabled and to senior citizens, age 62 and over, to and from areas within Everett Transit's fixed route service area. Paratransit service is provided during the days and hours that any Everett Transit fixed route provides service to the general public. Under the Current Operations Alternative, many able-bodied elderly are eligible to use these paratransit services. It is estimated that, under the Current Operations Alternative, paratransit service hours, costs and vehicle requirements would remain relatively unchanged. The Enhanced Alternative The Enhanced Alternative expands programs and services to cover areas outside the City of Everett corporate boundaries whenever additional markets and destinations for City residents are identified, not otherwise being served by other regional or sub- regional providers. The highest priorities in the Enhanced Alternative are expanded transit service to un-served areas, particularly southwest Everett, and some level of service on the six holidays currently not served by Everett Transit. The Enhanced Alternative represents operations significantly broader in scope than those in effect by Everett Transit in February, 2003. Fixed Route Services Transit services would be permitted outside of the City of Everett corporate limits in order to preserve existing services and markets, to exploit additional markets, to provide services to additional destinations, to preserve connections to other regional and sub-regional carriers or to establish new connections to these carriers.
