1,190 Parking spaces
The Federal Way Transit Center is located just west of I-5 and just east of SR 99 in what is considered the City Center of Federal Way. The Federal Way Transit Center is served by eight King County Metro routes (including the RapidRide A Line), three Pierce Transit routes, and three Sound Transit Express bus routes. The Federal Way Transit Center sits on the northern boundary of the PSRC-designated regional growth center.
The Federal Way Transit Center has 1,190 parking spaces, which are typically fully utilized by 7:30 am.

Figure 1: 3-Mile Context Map
TRANSIT ACCESS ASSESSMENT: DRAFT2 FEDERAL WAY TRANSIT CENTER
Figure 2 provides a closer look at the area surrounding the Federal Way Transit Center. There are large parcels primarily made up of retail shopping surrounded by large surface parking lots. The superblock structure limits through connections and makes traveling on foot difficult. The Transit Center’s bus bays are located on the interior segment of a large parcel further removing it from the street network.
The City of Federal Way owns several pieces of land in the vicinity of the Federal Way Transit Center with ambitious development plans (described on the following page). In addition, light rail will eventually extend to the Federal Way Transit Center.

LAND USE, POPULATION, ANDEMPLOYMENT The area in the immediate vicinity of the Federal Way Transit Center is primarily made up of commercial land uses, with some multi-family housing just to the north and a small amount of single-family housing on the edges of Figure 3 below. Much of the area shown in Figures 3 and 4 make up Federal Way’s PSRC-designated regional growth center and, as such, a significant amount of population and employment growth is expected between now and 2040.
Current Population: 1,980Current Employment: 4,310
2040 Population: 5,580 (+182%)2040 Employment:10,000 (+132%)
The Federal Way Transit Center is part of the City’s plans for the Federal Way Town Center, an ambitious 21 acre project featuring civic amenities like Town Square Park (just east of the Transit Center), the Performing Arts and Events Center, a hotel, and potential for other mixed-use development.

ROADWAY CHARACTERISTICSFigure 6 shows the traffic volumes, posted speeds, and bicycle facilities in the area surrounding the Federal Way Transit Center. I-5 and SR 99 are the obvious north-south corridors with S 320th Street the primary east-west corridor and access point to I-5. There are also a number of auto-oriented retail and commercial establishments along S 320th Street that generate vehicle traffic in the corridor. Figure 6 also demonstrates the superblock structure near the Federal Way Transit Center as well as the discontinuous nature of the existing bicycle facilities.

TRANSIT ACCESS ASSESSMENT: DRAFT FEDERAL WAY TRANSIT CENTER 5
The urban form and roadway characteristics described on the previous pages have significant impacts on the nonmotorized environment around the Federal Way Transit Center. Utilizing the Nonmotorized Connectivity Tool developed by King County Metro and Sound Transit allows for a more precise analysis of the challenges for accessing the Federal Way Transit Center using nonmotorized modes.
NONMOTORIZEDCONNECTIVITY
Figure 7 shows a 15-minute walkshed from the Federal Way Transit Center. The large size of the blocks limit the number of paths a pedestrian has and shortens the distance they can travel. I-5 also acts as a significant barrier to the east with the only option being S 320th Street, which swells to seven lanes just west of I-5, making for an unpleasant pedestrian experience.
Figure 8 shows a 15-minute bikeshed from the Federal Way Transit Center and gives an even clearer demonstration of the barrier I-5 creates to points east. And while bicyclists can reach more points to the north, south, and west of the Federal Way Transit Center, there aren’t many bicycle facilities available to them, save for the BPA Trail to the southwest.

Figure 9: Current Nonmotorized Connectivity Index
Figure 11: Future Nonmotorized Connectivity Index
Figure 10: Analyzed Future Projects
Figure 9 shows the existing nonmotorized connectivity using the Nonmotorized Connectivity Tool. Points east of I-5 appear poor because of the lack of through connections. Areas along SR 99 also have poor nonmotorized connectivity largely due to the lack of signalized crossings.
Figure 10 shows the projects that were analyzed using the Nonmotorized Connectivity Tool. The most notable projects in the vicinity of the Federal Way Transit Center are several new streets meant to break up the existing superblock structure as well as new signalized crossings of SR 99.
The effect of these projects is evident in Figure 11, which shows the nonmotorized connectivity were these projects to be constructed. There is much improved connectivity to points west of SR 99 due to the new streets and signalized crossings.

FEDERAL WAY TRANSIT CENTERUSER SURVEY DATA
Of those surveyed, respondents stated that they use Federal Way Transit Center more than four days per week.
77% of users surveyed drive alone to reach Federal Way Transit Center, compared to only 5% who take the bus.
As part of a research study funded by the Washington State Department of Transportation into the travel behavior of park and ride users in the region, users of the Federal Way Transit Center were asked several questions about how they currently utilize the facility. A total of 283 Federal Way Transit Center users completed this survey, key findings of which are presented below. It should be noted that these surveys targeted users in the AM peak.

TRANSIT SERVICE
The Federal Way Transit Center is served by eight King County Metro routes (including the RapidRide A Line), three Pierce Transit routes, and three Sound Transit Express bus routes. Figure 13 shows the distance a rider can travel in an hour from the Federal Way Transit Center in the AM peak and includes much of South King County, Tacoma, and downtown Seattle.

Figure 14 shows boardings at Federal Way Transit Center by route and time of day and indicates there is all-day demand for transit service, with more than half the boardings occurring in the mid-day and PM peak periods.
Figures 15 and 16 show boardings during the AM peak and mid-day and PM peak periods, respectively. While AM peak boardings are overwhelming on Sound Transit route 577 and other peak period routes, mid-day and PM peak boardings are led by RapidRide A and are more evenly spread among a number of routes serving several distinct destinations.

30 Vanpools using Federal Way Transit Center
7.27 Average vanpool oc-cupancyIn addition to fixed route transit users, 30 vanpool groups (with an average occupancy of 7.27 riders) use Federal Way Transit Center as a meet-up location, though it’s uncertain how many people park at Federal Way Transit Center to meet up with their vanpool group.
PARKINGCHARACTERISTICS
Sound Transit conducted a license plate survey of Federal Way Transit Center users in February 2015, which is depicted in Figure 18. It demonstrates that almost half of people driving to access Federal Way Transit Center are coming from Federal Way and that almost 75% of people are coming from less than five miles away.
Figure 17 shows the total capacity and utilization rate of the Fed-eral Way Transit Center as well as the Federal Way Center Plaza (a leased surface lot directly adjacent to the Transit Center) and the Federal Way/S 320th Street Park and Ride (a permanent park and ride approximately ½-mile south of the Transit Center). It is clear that demand favors Federal Way Transit Center over the Federal Way/S 320th Street Park and Ride, which is served by three peak period King County Metro routes, one of which also serves Federal Way Transit Center.
