During Phase 2, conducted in 2014, WSDOT conducted a comprehensive multi-modal corridor alternative analysis. In this effort, WSDOT evaluated alternatives other than adding lanes to I-5 that could improve mobility along the corridor. Public involvement was an important element of Phase 2. In January 2014, WSDOT conducted an origin-destination study. The origin-destination study better identified the nature of local trips and regional traffic on and near Interstate 5 between Mounts Road and State Route 512. This study was documented in a report on Travel Patterns and Characteristics along the I-5 corridor in the JBLM vicinity. The report describing the development and screening of multimodal options for the corridor can be accessed at the following link: I-5, JBLM Vic.

Between July and November 2014, alternatives advanced from Phase 1 were further evaluated along with those developed during the multi-modal Alternatives Analysis. Alternative "packages" including combinations of transit services, local road improvements and I-5 mainline and interchange improvements were defined and evaluated.
