Major transit stop, as defined in CA Public Resource Code Section 21064.3, means a site containing a rail or bus rapid transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Further explanation of the methodology for identifying major transit stops is included in the Connect SoCal Transit Technical Report Appendix.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Major transit stops are based on the 2016 base year transit network of Connect SoCal, the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>. </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN /><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>PLEASE NOTE</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>that </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>the base year transit network for Connect SoCal is based primarily on data for the year 2016. The inventory of 2016 major transit stops is therefore only a snapshot in time as of 2016, and does not reflect the existing levels of transit service for any other timeframe. Transit agencies make adjustments to bus service on a regular basis, therefore, local jurisdictions should consult with the appropriate transit provider(s) to obtain the latest information on transit routes, stop locations, and service intervals.
