Managing the Peak Capacity investments outlined in the plan are mostly designed to address peak period traffic. During the most congested times of the day transit currently represents a significant # of trips. Transit reduces traffic congestion by at least 174,000 cars each day in the region right now. With Destination 2030, transit is expected to reduce traffic volumes by about 500,000 cars each day – 34% of the traffic on I-5 and 20% of traffic on I-90 and SR 520. High Demand Corridors
