Light Rail Transit Optimization
Increase LRT Consistency and Reliability
More parking only works if transit is reliable, timely, and consistent.
Proposals:
Vision:
A fully optimized, high-frequency LRT system that works reliably all day — not just during peak hours.
Policy Priorities:
-
Reduce off-peak Capital Line frequency from every 10–15 minutes to every 7–8 minutes midday and 10 minutes evenings/weekends.
-
Expand Valley Line’s 5-minute headways to last longer into the evening, and cover more weekend hours.
-
Implement an express service between Century Park ↔ Downtown on Capital Line (limited-stop train during peaks).
-
Deploy signal optimization upgrades to increase LRT flow and allow more consistent frequencies across the network.
-
Guarantee minimum service frequencies by law, tied to service reliability and population density.
