6.2 Identification of Priority Areas The next step in the transit strategy is the identification of the areas where transit is expected to be prioritized. Depending on the level of prioritization different transit targets would be applied. Prioritization was developed as a tiered exercise, to follow the benchmark analysis: • Citywide analysis : A review of the citywide priority took place using the Transit Supportive Index (TSI) developed as part of the M1M analysis, prioritizing areas with the highest TSI to capture growth and land use. It was then complemented with the identification of the highest priority origin-destination (OD) pairs using the trip table results from the AOS scenario run, to capture the strongest OD pairs, where high-capacity transit would be beneficial. Finally, TAZ with high internal trips were also given additional priority, as local transit improvements could boost transit usage. • Core Area analysis : Using the FLUM Lite analysis and review of local plans, neighborhoods from the Core Area were classified into the high, medium, and low categories in terms of transit priorities. The result of this initial prioritization was then shared with Trinity Metro and the City to conduct a final review of the priority areas. Based on discussions with Trinity Metro, additional TAZs along East Lancaster Avenue were identified as transit-priority areas and were incorporated into the final definition of transit priority areas (see Figure 14 ).
