The deliverables for this task include tables summarizing transit trips for future planning horizon years. The next task is to propose service alternatives and an implementation plan. This includes addressing issues and opportunities identified, developing a phased implementation strategy for transit improvements, and proposing service changes for each route. The deliverables for this task include a Plan Chapter on recommended plan actions and phasing. The following task is to develop a financial plan, including fleet capital and operational cost estimates, evaluating existing facilities and infrastructure, and identifying funding strategies. The deliverables for this task include a Plan Chapter on the Financial Plan. The document concludes by stating the contract terms and conditions, including the requirement for the consultant to keep the County advised of the status of the services at all times. This ensures ongoing communication and updates throughout the project. Overall, the document outlines the tasks and deliverables required for the development of a Countywide Transit Plan, including baseline evaluation, market analysis, transit demand forecasts, service alternatives and implementation plan, and financial plan.
