Key West Transit Development Plan FY2025-2034

Proposed Alternatives

Prioritizing Transit Service Improvements To evaluate the benefits of the proposed service alternatives and determine their priority, a comprehensive methodology was developed. This methodology considers several key factors: public input gathered through outreach efforts, alignment with KWT's goals and objectives, ridership potential assessed through transit market evaluations, and regional connectivity. By integrating these factors, KWT ranked improvements to ensure that resources are used efficiently, and the most beneficial projects are prioritized. The evaluation criteria were defined using three main categories: Public Outreach, Transit Markets, and Productivity & Efficiency. These criteria, along

with their relative weightings, are summarized below in Table ES-4 . Table ES-4: Evaluation Criteria with Assigned Weighting
