Define TSM Sample Clauses

Define TSM. The TSM alternative is best described as transit improvements lower in cost than the proposed new start, which result in a better ratio of measures of transit mobility when compared to cost than the No Build Alternative; the "best you can do'' without a major capital cost or potential FTA New Start investment. The purpose of the TSM comparison is to isolate the costs and benefits of the proposed major transit investment. The TSM may not be analogous to the FTA Baseline Alternative (to be developed by the Consultant in consultation with FTA and JCT). At a minimum, the TSM alternative must include in the project corridor all reasonable cost-effective transit improvements short of investment in a New Start project. Under the TSM alternative, increased bus service (over current service levels) will be projected to reflect the anticipated increase in corridor population and employment by a defined opening year. The TSM alternative will include examining potential route alignments for the corridor’s preferred alternative and a recommended alignment or alignments defined. This analysis will include determining: Routing of current Route H Southern terminus definition Feeder / route connections with Sprint Campus and on College Boulevard East-west connections as identified in 5-Year Plan Routing near downtown Overland Park Routing in downtown Mission Routing into Plaza and connections with other BRT routes The existing bus services will be examined for possible route modifications to establish feeder bus and connecting routes. Service to existing or planned connecting routes such as on 00xx Xxxxxx and 00xx Xxxxxx will also be examined and assessed.
