EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Passenger Stations <br />Everett Station, a multi -modal center in downtown Everett, is the transportation hub for the city <br />of Everett. National and international passenger trains operated by Amtrak and regional <br />commuter trains operated by Sound Transit run from Everett Station. National and international <br />bus service operated by Greyhound is provided at Everett Station. Regional bus service provided <br />by Community Transit and Sound Transit, and local bus service provided by Everett Transit also <br />operate from the station. About 500 park and ride spaces are provided. The Everett Station itself <br />is a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) building of four floors generating many trips through <br />its Workforce Center, University Center, and community meeting space. The station is also <br />within walking distance of the 10,000 seat Everett Event Center, the Snohomish County Courts <br />and administration center, and many downtown businesses and shops. <br />Other major transit centers in Everett include the College (North Everett) Transit Center at <br />Everett Community College and the Mall (South Everett) Transit Center at Everett Mall. Both of <br />these centers provide transfer facilities between several local bus routes and are located near land <br />uses that generate significant transit trips. <br />Table 2.5 Transit <br />Stations <br />Platforms <br />Transit Oriented <br />Location <br />Service Providers <br />or Docks <br />Development <br />Everett <br />Pacific Avenue <br />Amtrak, Greyhound, <br />Workforce Center, <br />Station Multi- <br />at Smith <br />Sound Transit, <br />16 <br />College, Everett Event <br />Modal Center <br />Community Transit, <br />Center, Snohomish County <br />Avenue <br />Everett Transit <br />Courts <br />College <br />Broadway at <br />Everett Community <br />Transit <br />Tower Street <br />Everett Transit <br />4 <br />College, DSHS <br />Center <br />Mall Transit <br />Everett Mall <br />Everett Transit <br />4 <br />Everett Mall Shopping <br />Center <br />Center <br />HOV Lanes <br />High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes provide transit and carpools with faster and more reliable <br />commute times. HOV lanes are provided on I-5 south of SR -526 connecting to Seattle and via <br />I405 to Bellevue. The I-5 HOV lanes are restricted to high occupancy vehicles seven days a <br />week and 24 hours per hour. Arterial HOV lanes are also provided on Airport Road to provide <br />incentives for transit riders and carpools to the Southwest Industrial Area. These HOV lanes <br />operate only in the peak commute periods and only in the affected direction — westbound in the <br />morning and eastbound in the evening. HOV bypass lanes are also provided on interchange <br />ramps southbound to I-5 from SR 526 and from 128th Street. <br />Park and Ride Facilities <br />There are four significant Park -and -Ride facilities servicing the Everett comprehensive planning <br />area. The parking facilities at Everett Station service passenger rail and intercity bus as well as <br />regional and local bus routes. The Eastmont Park -and -Ride is located on SR 527 near the I-5 / <br />SR 526 interchange. This facility services all three commuter bus operators. <br />The Mariner and McCollum Park -and -Ride facilities are located on the south edge of the Everett <br />comprehensive planning area but provide significant service to residents of the planning area to <br />access regional transit service and to assemble for carpools. <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 16 <br />
