Transit, however, is sharing many of the development costs with <br />l~Iarion Count~ , thus reducing the overall cost to each inclividual agency. <br />Growth: It is important to bear in mind that the facilities being designed <br />are intended to sustain the District's needs for the ne:rt 25 or more years. The <br />~ District anticipates a very small growth in administrative staf~ however, as <br />the service and ridership side grows, so must human resources and business <br />functions. In 1996, Cherriots carried 3.2-million riders. At the current rate, <br />Cherriots will carry just shy of 4.0-million riders in 1997. As the population <br />grows, a.nd Cherriots continues to improve its ti.meliness and accessibility, the <br />current ridership growth trend will most likely continue. With almost 15,000 <br />riders per day, reducing the necessity of a li.ke number of times automobiles <br />must be placed on Salem-Keizer streets and in limited parking facilities, <br />Cherriots will more and more become the mode of choice, thereby making <br />today's investment in Courthouse Square even better with each passing year. <br />The development of Courthouse Square permits transit service to become more <br />customer-friendly by its centralized, weather-protected location; provide <br />greater public safety through its controlled, off-street design; allows the current <br />High Street site to be returned to normal tra~c patterns a.nd pazi~ng; a.nd <br />consolidates some 400 employees in a transit-friendly environment which will <br />encourage greater transit use and reduced downtown tra.ffic and parl~ng <br />congestion. <br />3 <br />
