to the 2015 Technology Conference. Councilmember Johnson reported that CATES is planning for another
conference on December 2 this year. Councilmember Johnson was nominated to represent SCATBd on the
conference advisory committee with ETP and SeaShore.
• Chair Ralph also reported that the PSRC Transportation Policy Board did not meet in August.
• Mayor Hill reported that there is an RTC meeting on August 17. The RTC is concerned about what is in
Metro's long -range plan, but they feel that Metro has engaged the cities more than in the past. He expressed
that passage of the long -range plan by the RTC may not occur until 2017. He expressed concern that
Alternative Services funding in not being spent on cities in the most need.
III. Update on Sound Transit Federal Way Link extension and ST3:
Cathal Ridge, Sound Transit South Corridor Development Manager, provided an update on Federal Way Link
extension planning The project is currently funded south to Kent /Des Moines station. Although the 272' station
was authorized by ST2, there was not enough funding due to the 2008 recession. Service is expected to start in
2023 to Kent. If ST3 passes, it will fund ST3 and service could start in 2024. Sound Transit staff is currently
engaging cities to align city policies with Sound Transit design standards in an effort to speed up the cities'
project review process.
Comments:
• Levy — Angle Lake Station opening announcement will be soon, and ST3 plan is structure to open new
projects every few years rather than waiting for large segments to open at once
• Johnson — Cities need to consider displacement impacts on businesses from light rail
• Ridge — The amount of park- and -ride stalls is determined by data on likely usage, trip types, and experience
• Arkills — Metro's long -range plan builds on ST rail network to provide improved transit access
• Hougardy — Concerned about the lack of parking access to transit
• Arkills — Metro and ST are looking at increasing parking, including new construction, better managing
existing facilities, and partnerships to identify underutilized parking opportunities
• Hill — Wants to stress importance of capital investments to improve service, not just park- and -rides

IV. PSRC T2040 Travel Trends Update
Craig Helmann, PSRC Senior Modeler, presented on the PSRC latest travel trends data. Smaller households make
more trip than larger households and the region's household size is and is projected to be smaller. The overall
number of miles driven per day however is flat since 2006. There is a decrease in the number of people getting
drivers' licenses however there is a larger share of people aged 65+ who have a driver's license. The large job
centers in King County have seen a decrease in the number of people driving alone while transit ridership has
increased during 2006 -2015 by 25 %. The number of transit riders has outpaced job and population growth.
Transit ridership is the fastest growth in the country. In Bellevue 25% of commuters use transit compared with
54% in Seattle. Seattle has three times as many people that use vanpools as in Los Angeles and is the largest
vanpooling community in the nation. In the period during 2010 -2015, travel delay times have increased.
Comments:
Prestrud — Vanpool ridership is high, yet understated since distance traveled in a vanpool is typically higher than
transit trips.
