Transit Ridership
Between 1990 and 1999, Metro estimates that total UW Seattle ridership
grew to 7.2 million trips annually, a 68 percent increase. Metro
service to the U-District is among the highest in the region.
About 10 percent of all Metro trips were taken by U-PASS holders.
An increasing share of these trips is neither to nor from the U-District.
Community Transit ridership increases on U-District service has been more
modest, increasing 21 percent to about 437,000 trips annually. However,
additional trips now go to and from downtown Seattle. Together with
Metro and Community Transit, the U-PASS program is helping to solve congestion
problems regionwide. |
