This alternative adds the Mason Street Corridor service to the improvements made in the Scenario 1 plan. Implementation of this alternative will improve the quality of Transfort operations as well as increase the productivity of the Transfort system. Model analysis estimates a 38% increase in system productivity compared to the existing transit system.

Its focus is to provide the "backbone" of a future highly productive transit system serving the Fort Collins community. This scenario is illustrated in this report in Figure 3. These changes can also be implemented with limited disruption, although they do represent significant improvements to the overall operation of the system. Implementation of this alternative will improve the quality of Transfort operations and the number of people riding the system. Key changes to the existing service include:

• Providing high frequency two-way service along the Mason Street Corridor;
• Connecting downtown, the Colorado State University campus, and the south College commercial areas with high quality transit access;
• Establishing the first of three Enhanced Travel Corridors called for in City Plan;
• Solving operational problems such as on-time performance of Transfort buses by removing them from the congestion in the College corridor.
