I assume you haven't worked for transit agencies before - I have. Even some of the ones with high transit usage hvae to hvae parking for their workers - one, because of where they come from, and two, because transit service isn't running or isnt frequent enough. If you live in - say, Woodridge and work at the Lyottensville facility, you'd be looking at a 2-3 hour drive. Your suggestion here seems to be to bump up service headways all across the system (at a very expensive cost - just to get a handful of LRV drivers and maintennece to the center at odd hours.

This has nothing to do with smart growth, but has everything to do with access for your workers. A few of the stops simply HAVE to have parking because transit just isnt runnign then. A lot of workers at the Brentwood yard in Metro have no option to get there BUT by driving. Service just isn't running that early, and defnetly not to where they live.
