What are the criteria being used to evaluate and screen corridors?
• Mobility (rail trips per mile, i.e. the more rides per mile the better) • Socioeconomic (population density, job density, concentration of low income and/or minority populations) • Land Use (activity centers (business districts, colleges and universities, employment centers, fairgrounds, arenas, hospitals), public/regulatory support, and development potential within ½ mile of the corridor) • Financial (total capital cost per rider and per rail trip, operations & maintenance costs) • Public Input They have not been weighted; no specific importance was pre-assigned to any or all of the criteria. The criteria were developed through a collaborative effort by staff members of the two metropolitan planning organizations in the Triangle (CAMPO, DCHC), the Triangle J Council of Governments and Triangle Transit.
