<br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. | 2-1 <br />2 SERVICE PLAN <br />SERVICE CRITERIA <br />The primary service objectives that factored into future alternatives include the following: <br /> Enhance service frequency and route directness (to minimize travel time) for members of <br />the current BID <br /> Expand service to the current BID “gap” on Marina Boulevard and Williams Street (e.g. <br />investigate different shuttle routing before service span changes) <br /> Ensure service is designed to complement and/or supplement existing A C Transit service <br />and is coordinated with the proposed Kaiser LINKS Shuttle services <br /> Develop service that provides a foundation for future transit ridership growth and <br />potential BID expansion <br />To achieve these criteria, several variables are in play including route alignment, route frequency, <br />and service span. Each of these variables and potential alternatives are outlined in the following <br />sections. Figure 2 provides a brief description of each of these characteristics and how they may <br />factor into a LINKS Shuttle service plan. <br />ALIGNMENT AND FREQUENCY <br />The alternatives are guided by the service objectives denoted above. In addition, the alternatives <br />describe bus alignment and potential frequencies based on resource assumptions. Service <br />span (duration of service day) will be discussed in a following section. For planning purposes, this <br />service plan assumes resources will be available for additional vehicles as compared to the two <br />shuttles that operate today. The actual costs associated with the different alternatives will vary <br />based on service span, which may include operating services mid-day and later into the evening. <br />
