31.02.432 Future transit service needs.
The Clallam Transit System service needs are increasing at a rate faster than fiscally forecasted. The response to ridership increase is fulfilling the County’s objective of alternative means of transportation to a car-dependent community. In becoming compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Paratransit has absorbed the additional revenue gains that would otherwise be used to expand service. Some of these service needs are implementing transportation demand management programs that could diminish the number of vehicle trips. Other service needs are bringing service to a new area or increasing the frequency of scheduled route service. The unfunded service needs as proposed in the Clallam Transit System Comprehensive Transportation Plan 1993-1998 are the following:
(1) Expansion to the Sequim shuttle service;
(2) Maintained summer service for Port Angeles/Forks Commuter; nine (9) routed trips/day;
(3) Feasibility study for general public Dial-a-Ride service;
(4) Work commute service to and from Clallam Bay;
(5) Rideshare matching program;
(6) Evening and Sunday service;
(7) Additional morning service;
(8) Olympic Loop (West End) service;
(9) City of Forks shuttle service;
(10) Park-and-Ride facilities.
All of these service needs arrive from a moderately aggressive financial forecast in the Clallam Transit Comprehensive Plan; i.e., the funding goals and expectations are reasonably moderate with the exception of the worker-commute service to Clallam Bay Correctional Center. The implementation of these projects will be deferred for one to two (2) years. Although, the County Comprehensive Plan proposes to make available transit credits to development that cause an impact to the transit system. These credits should be in lieu of road expansion needs since transportation supply management will encourage future ridership. Projects eligible for transit credits should be the aforementioned system needs as well as existing operation and maintenance needs that incur on a regular basis. The transit credit projects should have a direct relationship with the development.
