4 Project Overview: Purpose & Goals The purpose of the I-26 Alternatives Analysis is to improve transit service and enhance regional mobility along the 22-mile I-26 Corridor connecting Summerville, North Charleston, and Charleston. Goal 1: Improve Mobility, Safety, Accessibility and Connectivity of the Transit System and Region Goal 2: Provide a Cost Effective and Financially Feasible Transit Alternative Goal 3: Support Local Land Use Objectives Goal 4: Plan for Projected Growth in an Environmentally Sustainable Manner Goal 5: Respond to Community Needs and Support Goal 6: Support a Diverse Regional Economy SC/TAC Meeting Winter 2016

11 Project Update: Alternatives Analysis Screen One Alternatives (April - August 2015) Bus Rapid Transit System of buses that operate like a conventional rail in reserved guideways or mixed traffic. Light Rail Transit Short passenger rail cars on fixed rails in rightof-way that is separated from other traffic or mixed with traffic, powered electrically from an overhead electric line. Hybrid Rail Urban passenger train service operated as light rail or commuter rail service using electric or diesel self-propelled passenger cars. (EMU/DMU) Commuter Rail Urban passenger train service consisting of local, short distance travel between a central city and adjacent suburbs using electric or diesel locomotive hauled passenger cars.
