Public Transportation Infrastructure
Providing safe and comfortable transit stops and appropriate amenities can make public transportation a
more convenient and competitive option, reduce the overall cost of housing + transportation, and expand
the potential customer base for businesses.
While stop location and spacing will depend on the circumstances of the route, there are some general
guidelines to improve the user experience:
Locate bus stop amenities in areas that are expected to generate the most ridership, such as near
employment centers, residential areas, retail centers, education centers, or major medical
facilities.
✓ Provide sidewalks and/or bike paths designed to meet the needs of all users (including elderly,
children, and individuals with disabilities) to connect development to transit stops.
✓ Provide bicycle parking that includes covered bike racks at transit stops; ensure it does not conflict
with vehicular or pedestrian travel.
Provide shelters, benches, trash receptacles, lighting, and landscaping to enhance the overall
✓ comfort and attractiveness of transit; ensure amenities do not block pathways, sidewalks, or bike
lanes.
Include doors with 32 inches of clear passage space, and at least one zero-step entrance and
✓ accessible bathroom on the main floor to support those with limited mobility.

Roadway Capacity
The COMPASS transportation improvement program (TIP) is a short-range (seven-year) budget of
transportation projects for which federal fuds are anticipated, along with non-federally funded projects
that are regionally significant. Many projects help implement the Complete Network Policy, including
adding additional travel lanes to existing roads and building new roadways.
The COMPASS TIP contains additional information about short-range capital projects.

Fiscal Impact Analysis Supplemental for the
Development Review Checklist
The purpose of the fiscal impact analysis is to better estimate expected revenues and costs
to local governments as a result of new development so that the public, stakeholders, and
the decision- makers can better manage growth. Capital and operating expenditures are
determined by various factors that determine service and infrastructure needs, including
persons per household, student generation rates, lot sizes, street frontages, vehicle trip and
trip adjustment factors, average trip lengths, construction values, income, discretionary
spending, and employment densities.
The COMPASS Development Checklist considers the level of fiscal benefits, how many public
agencies benefit or are burdened by additional growth, and how long the proposal will take
to achieve a fiscal break-even point, if at all.
