This change aims to provide more frequent and reliable transportation for workers, ensuring better connectivity throughout the day and on weekends. The projected growth in boardings from 16,974 in 2024 to 30,647 in 2034 would generate an 80.6% increase. Revenue service trips and miles are expected to more than double, but efficiency in terms of boardings per service hour and trips is projected to decline.
