We're also attempting option 1. The project is located in a fairly dense area with a total of 4 different light rail stops within a 1/2 mile walking distance. After a preliminary count, the total number of light rail trips from those 4 stops reaches over 900 weekday trips (counting both directions and before adding bus trips). This amount seems high compared to the table which ranges from 60 -132 weekday trips. Is it possible we are calculating it incorrectly? Or are these minimum numbers in the table under consideration?

Me too. We have more than 1500 weekday trips and 1200 weekend trips. I think that the minimum numbers are low when you have more than 2 different lines.

The transit service thresholds were drawn from the amounts of service that would result from one line over an average 16-hour day for headways of approximately 5 minutes to 20 minutes. As such, the table numbers will be exceeded in transit-rich environments. Conversely a project located near a single route with hourly service would not meet the thresholds in the table for bus transit. The project that is located near four LRT stops appears to be calculating correctly since a single route with five-minute headways over a 16-hour day would operate approximately 200 trips.
