Exhibit B-2 Second Errata, including corrections to September 2001 TransPlan And to Exhibit B-1, Errata to September 2001 TransPlan [Changes from September 2001 TransPlan and Exhibit B-1, Errata to September 2001 TransPlan, are shown in legislative format: new text is underlined; deleted text is shown in strikee\ft.] Chapter 2 Errata: Correction to Exhibit B-1. Errata to September 2001 TransPlan and to September 2001 TransPlan: Chapter 2, Page 29, make further revisions to the Policy Definition/Intent statement for TSI Transit Policy #2, Bus Rapid Transit, to read as follows: Policy Definition/Intent: BRT is, in essence, the use of buses to emulate the positive characteristics of a rail system, but at a fraction of the cost of a rail system. The BR T system will include: · Exclusive busways along majer eerridors the maioritv of each corridor, · Faster boarding through low-floor, multiple door vehicles, · Minimum ten minute frequency during peak hours, · Increased convenience and comfort, · Limited stops, · Improved travel time through reduction of impact from normal traffic congestion through bus priority treatment · A connected system of BR T corridor and neighborhood routes BR T, when combined with other system improvement, land use, and demand management strategies, is expected to increase the share of riders who use public transportation. BR T is also expected to help the region maintain conformity with federal air quality standards. BR T, combined with nodal development, is a key strategy in the region~g. compliance with alternative performance measures for the Transportation Planning Rule. Cohunitment by the region to full system build out of BR T within 20 years is essential to meeting the alternative performance measures. The full system will include 61 miles ofBRT corridor service. The majority of each corridor will include exeIHsi'/e bHS t-reatment exclusive buswavs. When funding or traffic conditions restrict implementation of elJlelHSi'le bas treat meet exclusive busways within a corridor, priority should be given to improvements providing the greatest benefit to travel timesavings. The BR T strategy will be implemented to the extent that planning and engineering studies show that the system would increase the use of transit, is supported by the community, and can be funded. As BRT is implemented, LTD, Springfield, Eugene, Lane County, and ODOT will consider neighborhood impacts when designing elements of specific segments. Exhibit B-2 - Page 1
