~ ::z: Washington State ./1 Department of Transportation <br />Project Description (two pages) <br />Describe how the proposed grant project will address the above problem. <br />Recently WSDOT performed a survey of commuters currently parking in the vicinity of <br />the proposed park and ride lot to obtain an understanding of their travel behavior. The <br />survey results and census data indicate that westbound commuters are destined for <br />places in the Puget Sound Region. The survey respondents were destined for Bellevue <br />(67 miles distance) and Renton (81 miles distance). We assumed that the <br />non-respondents (persons parking in this location that did not respond to the survey) are <br />also destined for the Puget Sound Region. An estimated average vehicle miles traveled, <br />based off of the collected data from this survey, show 75.4 miles one-way. <br />The proposed park and ride located north of 1-90, at Exit 78 will provide a legal, improved <br />parking lot for up to 26 vehicles . We assume commuters using the existing lot will <br />continue to travel to the Puget Sound Region for the next four years, and estimate that <br />the average vehicle miles traveled for the future year scenario will continue to be 75.4 <br />miles one-way. Given the large number of commuters to the Puget Sound region, we <br />estimate that this new park and ride lot will double the number of vehicles parked from 9 <br />to 18 by year 4 .
