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. An updated comprehensive study will evaluate the condition of the County's park and ride lots and establish priorities for site improvements and development with the goal of increasing usage of the facilities and enhancing amenities.

Conduct evaluation of existing lots in FY31 and implement improvements, repairs and renovations beginning in FY32.

Cost change is due to addition of a comprehensive study and implementation of the study's recommendations for site improvements.

The County operates eight transit park and ride lots and three 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.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
