Federal High Priority Project (HP�'� funds and matching funds for these federal dollars. The Council and Ni�/DQT wi� monitor scope and costs to ensure maj or proj ects continue to meet regional objectives in a cost effective manner. The p�an envisions significant improvements in the bus system, including new express bus routes, arterial corridor enhancements, suburb-to-suburb se�'v�ce, transit stations, park-and- ride lots and other features. The goal is to increase transit ridership 50 percentby 2020 and double it by 2030. The plan proposes additional express commuter bus corridors as well as enhancement and expansion of existing bus service in �reeway corridors. Within each corridor, express bus routes will be supported by park and-ride facilities, circulator networks, and "transit advantages." The plan includes construction of five new "transitways" on dedicated rights-of-way by 2020 to help slow the growth in traffic congestion and improve mobility, and �it'ae additional transitways by 2030. Unlike the 2001 plan, the technology for each corridor was not identified in the Plan; rather the most appropriate and cost-effective mode for any given corridor is best determineda,ffier extensive study of the individual corridor. Figure 4-2 (attached) shows the 2030 Traus��ray System and Express Commuter Bus System. The plan now includes detailed information on the facilities needed for transit passengers, such as stations and park and ride lots, as well as facilities needed to support the transit system, such as garages and bus layover sites (Figures 4-5 and 4-6). Communities should plan for development and redevelopment around stations and park-and ride lots.
