Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

End of Ridership report the next section will discuss an article from City Lab on February 24 2017 about whatrsquos behind declining transit ridership nationwidehellip

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

End of Ridership report the next section will discuss an article from City Lab on February 24 2017 about whatrsquos behind declining transit ridership nationwidehellip

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

End of Ridership report the next section will discuss an article from City Lab on February 24 2017 about whatrsquos behind declining transit ridership nationwidehellip

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

End of Ridership report the next section will discuss an article from City Lab on February 24 2017 about whatrsquos behind declining transit ridership nationwidehellip

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

RELATED STORY

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Meanwhile more and more citiesmdashincluding the ones that are registering dips in transitmdashare offering different kinds of transportation options luring people out of single-passenger cars Citibikersquos incredible success in New York City is one example As Sharon Feigon executive director of the Shared-Use Mobility Center points out declining transit numbers may not sound great ldquobut the question is really about how you define successrdquo

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

10 PurposeObjective This report is to provide informative information regarding

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

Is America Breaking Up With Cars

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62

Only three US cities saw a greater than 1 percent increase in ridership between 2015 and 2016 the top two were Houston and Seattle which have both undergone radical overhauls of their bus networks Seatt le also invested heavily in its rail network as well as walking and biking infrastructuremdashand the metro will get more money for buses and trains with the recent passage of Sound Transit 3

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation except perhaps one thing If cities want to lure passengers onto trains and buses paying attention to cracks in both types of networks and investing to fix them is a pretty sure bet

Safety Training and Security for the month of February 2017

TRAINING

The department trained all of the operators on the AVAIL system

The department also trained more operators to run the Bessemer Circulator

Every operator was also trained on the Passenger Information Display systems

Members of the Training Department have been working with the ROADEO contestants to practice for the annual ROADEO

A new class of over 10 operators started this month

Almost all of the operators from the November class have graduated

SECURITY

The Security Fence around the 8th Ave Facility is 85 complete The gates have been installed and the power source has been identified and installed

There were no major Security events during the month of February

SAFETY

The Safety Department has been looking at ways to diffuse fixed object accidents One potential solution is a collision alert system The Department is meeting with the Grants Department to see what grants are available to put in a demonstrator system

The Department is also investigating ways to partner with Lawson State

The preventable accidents were up this month Fixed route had 22 preventable accidents per 100000 miles Paratransit had 40 preventable accidents per 100000 This is indeed higher than average but it is somewhat typical for post-holiday stressbills tax time changing weather and other factors

End of Ridership report the next section will discuss an article from City Lab on February 24 2017 about whatrsquos behind declining transit ridership nationwidehellip

Whats Behind Declining Transit Ridership Nationwide

Pick a culprit The rise of ride-hailing services budget cuts cheap oil or bad service

Feb 24 2017

Commuters in LA are riding more Metro less bus (Reuters )

New York City subway system has posted its first dip in ridership since 2009 according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority The news follows a news week full of reported transit passenger declines in Los Angeles and San Francisco And for years nearly every city in the US (with a few notable exceptions) has posted negative percent changes too

Which raises two questions as old as public transit itself Where do the riders go when they go And how can cities bring them back

Some of the factors behind these declines are national as the transportation scholar David Levinson points out via email The economy is expanding and oil prices are plunging People are buying more cars and driving them more often both to work and to weekend activities that are better served by vehicles American cities continue to suburbanize and as they do taking transit often becomes a less attractive option Immigrants long a strong base of ridership for agencies are increasingly moving out of urban centers and buying and driving their own vehicles

Orange Is Feb 17 Gray Is Jan 17

Page 57 of 62

Transit ridership is falling except in 2 cities with major bus network restructures Letrsquos stop blaming gas prices amp start a bus turnaround

Then there are the local forces that might be triggering declines from town to town Weather and employment all factor in In some cities reliability issues are also dissuading people from riding buses and trains See poster-child Washington DC where lethally under-maintained trains drove WMATA to cut service for long stretches of time this year and last Passengers on San Franciscorsquos BART trains are verifiably vanishing overcrowded delay-prone trains that shriek when they (finally) pull into stations are probable drivers

In other cities rail numbers grow while bus numbers fall Thatrsquos true in Los Angeles where thickening traffic and construction hold-ups are slowing buses and perhaps discouraging passengers In Chicago CTA bus ridership dropped by nearly 20 percent between 2008 and 2016 ldquoeven as rail ridership has increased by roughly the same amountrdquo writes the urban policy analyst Daniel Kay Hertz service cuts likely bear a good deal of blame (There may be some issues with the ridership data itsel f too)

Little is certain in the murky realm of transit ridership interpretation

In New York bus ridership has waned for years chalk it up there to too-slow and too-unreliable service And yes subway usage also fell 03 percent last year as the New York Times reported this weekmdashbut weekday ridership is at an all-time high while weekend ridership has dropped about 3 percent There is likely a service connection there too Weekends are when subways are more often out of service due to repairs Of course weekends are also when folks who arenrsquot working are more likely to take an unusual trip somewheremdashtheir friends in the Bronx that concert south of Prospect Parkmdashand for those kinds of occasional trips a ride in an Uber or Lyft might be more reasonable

Which leads to a theory raised in most reports of declining public transportation use Those ride -hailing services are stealing passengers This argument probably holds truest for weekend boardingrsquos But the best research out there (and there isnrsquot much yet) suggests most workers donrsquot rely on Uber and Lyft for regular daily commutes Ride-hailing may even be more supportive of transit than competitive at least in the biggest cities (smaller cities might be another question) At the very least it doesnt seem to be siphoning a significant number of riders away When Uber and Lyft left Austin mass transit saw a very modest one percent bump in ridership according to the transportation consultant Jarrett Walker Page 58 of 62
