We will develop facilities that encourage people to use other means of transportation to travel to transit stops and stations. The traditional service area around a transit route is a 1/4 mile walking distance. We should maintain clear and continuous pedestrian routes within that service area to transit stops or stations. Safe, comfortable, and attractive shelters and waiting areas should be located at strategic points along routes. Providing features that encourage people to bike or drive to stops and stations can extend these service areas and increase the number of potential riders. These features can include:
- Connections from trails to transit stops.
- Bike parking, lockers, and potentially rental stations at major transit stops and hubs.
- Park and ride facilities such as lots and structures, integrated into transit-oriented developments or at appropriate commuter sites.
