Redefined projects could include HOV or TDM improvements. Conclusions: • The record demonstrates that impacts due to the Expansion do not require mitigation by requiring dedicated HOV lanes on Airport Road as an effective solution for transit and rideshare travel to the Boeing site. • A large share of public dollars is required for construction of many of the improvements in the Airport Road/128th/132nd Street corridor. • Lower cost system management and transit/rideshare priority improvements may be considered if local and state funding shares in this corridor cannot be programmed in a timely manner that coincides with Boeing Expansion. Decision: Deny the appeal and affirm the Decision Document with regard to HOV treatment on Airport Road. SECTION 38: BUSES AND VANS Findings: • Mitigation addresses the Expansion only. Increases in the percent of transit and ridesharing users due to more aggressive TDM programs can only be applied to the Expansion-related employees. • Over 1,650 new transit riders and 1,600 new vanpool riders are expected by 1995 when the site population reaches 33,500. • About 45 percent of these new riders can be attributed to the Expansion. • Approximately one-half of the transit riders are expected to use public transit service and one-half Boeing subscription service which is a pay-as-you-go enterprise. The subscription service is not included in mitigation since it is viewed as a "rental" service that could be provided by any vendor. • At nine passengers per van, about 80 new vans will be needed to accommodate vanpool demand for the Expansion. Boeing will purchase 80 new vans, regardless of cost. Current estimate is $2 million for 80 vans. 53
