ALTERNATIVES OVERVIEW
PROCESSThroughout the process of determining the Goals for the new network, five key trade-offs were established: System Priorities, Waiting or Walking, Fixed or Flexible Service, Downtown or Grid Network, and Peak or All-Day Service.
Option A incorporates the changes we heard riders overwhelmingly want for the network. Options B and C build on Option A's changes and represent the two tradeoffs that were less conclusive. These Options show how we could design the network depending on which priority is most important, using the same budget we have today.
Option B responds to the question of whether or not riders favor longer walks to stops but have faster service (improved frequency). Option C incorporates more ZIPZONEs, while removing some local neighborhood routes. The Options are not proposals. The Draft Plan will be designed based on public input.

TRINITY METRONETWORK REDESIGNOPTION B: WALK MORE, WAIT LESS
Overview In addition to many of the changes that are in Option A, Option B negotiates the balance between bus stop spacing, bus speed, and walking distance for passengers. By removing routes that serve similar areas, more routes can run more often. Option B represents the direct trade-off between increased service and increased coverage.

In this option, some riders have to walk further to get to bus service, but more riders have frequent service.
-
Added High-Frequency Routes – 004 Medical District to the east side. – 006 Downtown to south Fort Worth.
Areas with Added Walking – 044 and 045 combined into one route. – 009 removed. – 071 and 028 merge into the 028/071.
Through this combination, more service is able to be provided on other routes. The merging of 028 and 071 allows for Sunday service, which was not available before in this area. The new 028 makes a point deviation to the Villas at Forest Hill. Passengers would have to call ahead for service to Villas at Forest Hill.

HIGH-FREQUENCY 004
HIGH-FREQUENCY 006
This trade-off is about the balance between bus stop spacing, bus speed, and walking distance for passengers. This does not affect all parts of the service area. It is specifically for areas with a well-connected street network and many parallel streets. It also questions the need for routes that run in close proximity to each other.
Route 004 currently goes from Downtown, through the Medical District, and then heads east on Rosedale It runs every 30 minutes. In order to afford increased frequency, the new 004 starts and ends in the Medical District now rather than duplicating route 006 into Downtown. In Option B, the high-frequency 004 runs every 15 minutes.
Route 006 currently heads south from Downtown and then to Hulen Mall Transfer Center. It runs every 30 minutes. The new 006 extends south further into areas not currently served by the network. In Option B, the high-frequency 006 runs every 15 minutes, serving a dense area of Fort Worth.
WAITING: A bus route that stops within a 1/4 mile walk of homes, but is slower and less frequent
WALKING: A bus route that is more frequent and faster, but stops within 1/2 mile of destinations
