ST3 timeline 2

ST Board’s Core Priorities for ST3 3

Agenda • Overview of LRT Operations Options • Overview of R-03: Maintenance Facilities within Draft/Final System Plan • Overview of R-01: ST Express and System Integration • Next Steps 4

LRT System Operations Options 5

Potential LRT System Operations Option # 1 • Everett to Tacoma via Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel system • Everett to Downtown Redmond via Transfer by Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel Walking 3-5 Blocks • Ballard to West Seattle at-grade via Downtown Seattle 6

Potential LRT System Operations Option # 2 • Everett to Tacoma via Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel system • Everett to Downtown Redmond via Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel • Ballard to West Seattle via new rail-only tunnel 7

Potential LRT System Operations Option # 3 • Everett to West Seattle via Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel system • Everett to Downtown Redmond via Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel • Ballard to Tacoma via new rail-only tunnel 8

R-03: LRT ST Operations and Maintenance Facilities (OMF) • ST3 Candidate Projects: • Included allowance per vehicle towards OMFs • Based on individual projects • Draft/Final System Plan: • Based on system plan as whole • LRT Starting Assumptions: • OMF in North • OMF in South • OMF for Seattle • Costs will be shown in System Plan within R-03 9

Overview of R-01: ST Express in ST3 and System Integration 10

ST Express Existing Network • Downtown Seattle-focused network • Growing ridership & market demand • 65,000+ average weekday boardings • Passengers per trip (system average) • Peak: 47 • Off-peak: 38 • Approximately 750,000 annual service hours 11

DRAFT | Initial ST Express in 2024 | Network Change estimates subject to revision and refinement • Truncate ST Express service in corridors served by ST2 Link • Link primary connection to Downtown Seattle • Connect ST Express to Link Stations at: • Lynnwood • Kent-Des Moines • Downtown Bellevue/South Bellevue • University of Washington • 145th 12

DRAFT | Initial R-01a Maintain Current Service Levels estimates subject to revision and refinement R-01a: Additional 120,000 hours (~610,000) • All corridors retain current service frequencies and span of service • Unchanged passenger capacity • Potential opportunity for savings following BRT corridor development • Limited flexibility for service integration and expansion into new markets 13

DRAFT | Initial R-01b Improved Service Levels estimates subject to revision and refinement R-01b: Additional 330,000 hours (~820,000) • Increase frequency to support growing ridership demand for bus and LRT service • More corridors with frequent all-day service • Potential opportunity for savings following BRT corridor development • Increased flexibility for service integration and expansion into new markets 14

System Integration • December - January • Coordination with regional partners for early analysis of potential future ST Express network • Expand upon ST2 defined bus operations and maintenance needs • Refinement of bus/rail integration facilities included in ST3 Candidate Projects with transit partners • February- March • Phasing of bus network based on development of Draft System Plan • Completion of Supplemental Transit Service Sheets • Map showing combined service options 16
