The report summarizes the proposed master transit plan for the Seattle, Washington, metropolitan area. The recommended multi-center system will serve regional activity centers with 25 express bus routes covering some 650 two-way route miles. Existing Blue Streak bus service will be supplemented by a new express mode, the 'Metro-Flyer,' to provide corridor service on high-speed freeways. Approximately 100 local bus routes will operate as feeders to the express system and provide neighborhood service within communities. Other elements of the transit plan include construction of 25 park-and-ride lots, a shelter and signing program, and acquisition of new rolling stock. Financial aspects of the recommended system are described; it will be supported by an increase in local sales taxation, thus permitting reduced overall costs under a pay-as-you-go plan. The importance of citizen participation is emphasized. The report concludes with a discussion of alternatives and recommended system features. (Author)
