ILA to Support Regional Transit Coordination (RTCC

SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Interim President/CEO or His Designee to Enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) for the Outreach Budget in the Amount of $20,975.00 to Support the Regional Transit Coordination Committee (RTCC).

FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue generated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: During the 2005 session of the Texas State Legislature, HB 3588 established requirements for coordination of transit services statewide. The RTCC is one of 24 regional transit coordination efforts that respond to HB 3588 and the State Transit Coordination Study Committee. Through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), CAMPO has been awarded funding to assist in the development of a plan to coordinate regional transit services between transportation providers. This coordination includes services provided to residents within the Capital Metro service area and all ten counties in the Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) region. Capital Metro has assumed the role of outreach lead for regional transit coordination, and is working closely with regional partners, including CAMPO, CAPCOG, TxDOT, and CARTS. This Interlocal Agreement will provide reimbursement to Capital Metro, who assumes the responsibility of planning for coordinated transit and public involvement, outreach, and website maintenance and updates. The Regional Transit Coordination Work Plan for 2010 is ongoing.

This ILA does not require Capital Metro to pay any money up front; rather, it requires Capital Metro staff to submit projects listed on the RTCC 2010 Scope of Services to CAMPO. The staff hours dedicated to each project were predetermined by the RTCC working group, and will be reimbursed by CAMPO through the ILA. All projects are slated to be complete by the end of FY2010.

ROUTE 2025 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: Strategic Partnering


PROCUREMENT: Chapter 791 of the State of Texas Government Code encourages governmental entities to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of local governments by authorizing them to contract, to the greatest possible extent, with one another. In doing so, local governments are permitted to forego the requirements of full and open competition and contract directly with one another. We recommend entering into an Interlocal Agreement between Capital Metro and CAMPO.

June 2010 Service Changes (Summer) DRAFT

SUBJECT: Approval Summer (June) 2010 Service Changes.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in the FY2010 budget.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This memo presents final recommendations for Summer 2010 fixed-route service changes. Changes would become effective Sunday, June 6, 2010. A summary of recommendations appears in Appendix A. Summer 2010 changes target several key areas:

Minor Route / Schedule Adjustments (improved customer access) - changes to routing to enable more direct service to the University of Texas main campus and Brackenridge Hospital.

Minor Schedule Adjustments (reliability) - minor schedule modifications for improvements in reliability.

School Related Route Suspensions (summer) - suspension of select trips on certain routes that provide additional carrying capacity during the regular school year.

Rail Related Changes - adjust schedules to provide better coordination between bus and rail service as is the standard practice when a new schedule is started.

We are presenting these recommendations as the final step in the public input process for regular service changes. Public meetings have been held and staff communicated the details of the changes at those forums.

Based upon input received, staff is returning to the March Board of Directors meeting with final recommendations, and requests Board approval.

APPENDIX C METHODS TO SOLICIT PUBLIC INPUT

Over the next few weeks, Capital Metro staff will solicit feedback from both riders and bus operators. This document describes the various strategies that will be utilized in reaching out to riders, the public and employees. Comments from these forums along with comments from additional public outreach efforts will be considered for incorporation into final schedule recommendations.

Staff has used these methods to solicit and inform customers of proposed route changes. These forums enable users and non-users to provide valuable input used to shape initial proposals into a final format.

Public Meetings

Capital Metro uses this forum to allow direct dialogue between staff and the public. The meetings typically begin with a summary of changes and quickly move towards one-on-one discussion regarding direct impacts (positive and negative) to attendees. Staff gathers all information for later analysis but also is able to work with the public to answer questions and discuss ideas for consideration.

Meetings are typically held in various points of the community. Neighborhood meetings are typically held during the evening periods in target areas. The areas are selected based on anticipated impact in which a route change may have to an area served. Special meetings are sometimes organized by citizens at locations and times that better meet their needs. In addition, meetings are sometimes held at Capital Metros Downtown Customer Service Center to provide the public a centralized location in which to meet with staff.

The following are proposed meeting dates, times and locations for this period

Public Meetings:

March 4, 2010 (Capital Metro Downtown Customer Service Center - 323 Congress Ave.), 11:30am 12:30pm and 5:00pm 6:00pm

Public Hearing:

March 8, 2010 (Capital Metro Administrative Building 2910 East 5th St.), 11:30 am

Passenger Surveys

Staff sometimes uses surveys to both help inform passengers of upcoming changes and also to allow passengers to comment (since sometimes when public meetings are held, people are not able to appear for various reasons). For this period, due to the very minor nature of the changes proposed, no surveys will be conducted. A

Staff creates detailed surveys which outline the changes; shows a map; offers choices for passengers to respond to staff on how this may improve or impact their use; and information on how to contact Planning ([email protected]). They are quick bilingual surveys that take no more than a few seconds to answer.

Customer Advisory Committees

ACCESS Meeting (February/March 2010) Staff will meet with members in early Spring to discuss preliminary proposals for Summer Service Changes and also present an opportunity to discuss Fall Service Changes.

CSAC (Spring 2010) Staff will meet with members in early Spring to discuss preliminary proposals for Summer Service Changes and also Fall Service Changes.

Passenger Notices

Notices in both English and Spanish will be placed on all buses asking customers to provide comments and feedback for potential changes to services. The notices will offer information on the meeting dates and locations.

Customer Service Comment Line (Customer Call Reports)

Citizens will have the ability to contact our Customer Service Center to voice support or opposition to the proposed changes. Staff will evaluate all information received and respond to each inquiry promptly.

Other Communications EMAIL / Letter / Phone

Citizens may also contact the Planning Department directly by via EMAIL/Letter/Phone. Staff will evaluate all information received and respond to each inquiry promptly.

Newspaper

Information will be published in the following newspaper regarding the proposed meeting dates to discuss future changes:

Austin American Statesman (also the Inside Line Phone Message); and/or Austin Chronicle

Alternative Media

Information will be posted in February 2010 on Capital Metros World Wide Web site advising of proposed changes.

Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with the COA

SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Interim PresidentCEO to Amend the Interlocal Agreement for Regional Mobility Programs with the City of Austin.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is being requested

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2001 and 2003, Capital Metro entered into Interlocal Agreements with the City of Austin to allocate a quarter (1/4) of one-cent sales tax revenues for mobility projects within the Capital Metro service area. The agreements provided for payment to the City to carry out approved projects as funds are available. As a result of the dramatic decline in sales tax revenues in 2009, Capital Metro staff notified the City that funds were not available to pay for projects in the immediate future.

To ensure the continued financial recovery of Capital Metro while meeting service obligations and its core business needs, staff has proposed to amend the existing agreements to define available funds for purposes of fulfilling commitments under the quarter-cent program.

Under the proposed amendment payments would be made to the City based on an actual increase in sales tax collection paid to Capital Metro by the State Comptroller's office. The City and Capital Metro have agreed to a a threshold amount for sales tax for each fiscal year beginning in FY 2010 and continuing through FY 2024. At the end of each year when actual sales taxes paid to Capital Metro exceed the established threshold for the preceeding year, Capital Metro would pay a set percentage of that excess at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Payments would continue until the balance of the $51.1 million committed under the Quarter Cent program is paid to the City.

ROUTE 2025 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: Sustainable Business Growth


PROCUREMENT: Chapter 791 of the State of Texas Government code encourages governmental entities to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of local governments by authorizing them to contract, to the greatest possible extent, with one another. In doing so, local governments are permitted to forego the requirements of full and open competition and contract directly with one another.
