Recap: Purpose & Need Statement
7
The purpose of the Clifton Corridor Alternative Analysis (AA) was to identify a high‐capacity transit investment that provides reliable and competitive travel times to and from the Clifton Corridor by:• Increasing transit accessibility for all users• Improving mobility in the corridor • Integrating with other transit projects

Phase 1: Phase 2:
• Confirm & Expand PSC membership• Identify potential SAC & TAC
members• Provide input on technical findings
from Phase 1• Reconfirm/Refine Purpose & Need
• PSC to convene as SAC & TAC to better inform the EIS process & ensure a quality outcome
• SAC to ensure community goals & concerns are addressed
• TAC to guide the process & provide input on technical & policy issues
