From page 74...
... New paradigm transit facilities are built with the following goals: • Enhancing corridor transportation capacity and performance without adding freeway capacity, by building and operating transit lines (including bus rapid transit, light rail, heavy rail and commuter rail) in existing freeway corridors • Building and operating successful transit systems in freeway corridors that attract high transit ridership levels and encourage corridor livability and environmental sustainability • Transforming a corridor's land uses and activities to a more transit-oriented pattern.
