This project provides repairs and renovations to parking lots at transit park and ride lots and transit centers to allow them to continue functioning as transit facilities and comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. In FY08/FY09, an evaluation and assessment of all park and ride facilities, including ADA accessibility and pedestrian safety, was completed to provide scope and detailed cost estimates for the restoration and upgrades.

The County operates 8 transit park and ride lots and 3 transit centers in major transportation corridors. Several County park and ride lots have had major failures, resulting from the age and use of the facilities. Some of the lots were constructed more than 20 years ago. Pavement and the entrances were not constructed to support heavy bus traffic.

Funding for this project is general obligation bonds dedicated to Mass Transit with debt service financed from the Mass Transit Facilities Fund.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
