EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />MODE SHARE TARGETS <br />For its regional centers, the City of Everett is required to develop mode share targets that align with the policy <br />goals of planning these areas to be more compact and accessible for walking, biking, and transit modes. Table 3 <br />provides existing and envisioned future mode split targets for commute trips within Everett's Downtown and <br />Paine Field centers. <br />Table :t.

The increase in non -SOV <br />mode shares reflects the City's goal of accommodating travel by all modes and prioritizing transportation <br />investments within the regional centers. <br />The 2035 mode share goals were set by reviewing the future travel model results and identifying an aggressive, <br />yet achievable level of future non -SOV travel. For example, the zo% transit mode share for downtown Everett is <br />similar to today's transit mode share in South Lake Union and Capitol Hill/First Hill in Seattle. A doubling of transit <br />mode share in the Southwest Everett/Paine Field area is also aggressive, but with Light Rail, Swift BRT, and <br />continued Everett Transit service, this should be achievable. <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 30 <br />
