Evaluation Criteria Participants were asked to choose five criteria (from among 13) they found most important in evaluating draft packages. Some of the criteria were the same as those used to evaluate corridors in the previous round of outreach and feedback. Others were new, to help assess system- wide benefits. By a clear margin, the most frequently chosen criterion was New Bike/Ped Access and Safety Investments. A tight pack of runners-up included In-Vehicle Transit Travel Time Improvement, System-wide Annual Ridership Increase, Percent of Investment in Corridors with Higher Level of Disadvantaged Population, and both Cost criteria (Operating and Capital). 146 109 108 101 96 92 70 68 67 64 47 39 38 Bike/Ped Travel Time Ridership Increase Disadvantaged Operating Cost Capital Cost Trees Development Plans Public Support Relocations Acquisitions Parking Evaluation criteria by frequency of choice July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
