Evaluation Criteria have been developed to determine how well each
alternative meets the goals and objectives of the study. This allows
the alternatives to be compared to each other using common measures.
Certain criteria have been used, including consideration of the
local goals and objectives established for the study, measures of
effectiveness identified during scoping, and criteria established
by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for New Starts projects.
Additionally, ideas and priorities suggested by the public have
been considered for use as criteria in screening the alternatives.
Evaluation criteria includes measures of cost-effectiveness, travel
time savings, impacts to communities and natural resources, and
compatibility with existing plans.
