Draft scope description 

Background

The Lynnwood Link Extension (LLE) and Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) projects received a Section 509 Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) “New Starts” program. These projects opened for revenue in 2024 and 2025 respectively. New Starts grant recipients are required to produce a report called the Before and After Study for the FTA. 

The Before and After Study (B&A Study) fulfills two main objectives: 

1. Expands insights into the costs and impacts of major transit investments; and 

2. Improves the technical methods and procedures used in the planning and development of those investments. 

Objective

Sound Transit will be conducting the next origin-destination survey of Sound Transit riders in spring of 2027. The purpose of these studies is two-fold: to provide data in support of the “After” segment of the Before and After Study, which will investigate the impacts of the LLE and FWLE; and to collect information about rider characteristics for use in ridership modeling, equity analyses, and other research and reporting purposes. 

Scope of work

The Consultant shall provide all labor/personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to complete the Origin-Destination Survey project. The contractor shall accomplish the performance objectives and general product requirements as listed below. 

The survey will collect detailed trip and demographic data, including origin and destination, access mode, transfers, other routes used, fare amount and payment method, trip purpose, and optional demographic information. Journey details will include the specific origin; modes and services used before boarding the surveyed service (including the type and cost of any parking); modes and services used after alighting; the specific destination; fare paid and fare media; and optional demographic information such as household income bracket, minority status, and age group. 

Surveys will be conducted on weekdays and weekends, covering the entire service day, which is roughly 5 am to midnight on Link 1 and 2 Lines and most ST Express routes, 5 am to 10 pm on the Link T Line, and peak commuting hours and limited mid-day routes on the S and N Lines. 

The consultant will be responsible for developing on-board and off-board survey methods to most efficiently maximize response rates and data reliability and to ensure the ability to project the results of the sample onto the population. 

The survey results will be used to estimate the percentage of daily boardings traveling between origin and destination pairs of 27 analysis zones within the Sound Transit district and gather data on characteristics of rider groups.
