  • Attachment A: FY16Q1 Status Update
    ATTACHMENT A FY16Q1 STATUS UPDATE ON RIDERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVES MARKET RESEARCH Analysis of Service to Regional Employment Centers Employment is the primary external factor influencing ridership, particularly on our rail and BRT system. Downtown LA can be considered the region’s primary Central Business District (CBD), and as such, is already well served by transit. However, Operations has identified an additional 24 employment centers throughout the region with high densities of employment, regional destinations, and activities. Once identified, ridership in these areas was compared to journey to work data to evaluate current and potential ridership. This information will assist Operations in adjusting services to better meet these employment travel demands. Social Media Research The Communications team is embarking on several efforts to better understand existing and potential new riders through social and electronic media. To better understand existing riders, Communications is partnering with the TAP team to collect rider email addresses to be matched against social media accounts to gain a deeper understanding of rider demographics. Improvements to our Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) system should also provide an opportunity to connect rider information between their TAP usage, social media information, and customer service calls. Communications is also procuring services of a social media advertising buyer tasked with identifying existing and potential riders for targeted advertisement. Using our existing email lists, social media follower information, look-a-like modeling, and third party marketing sources that create customized client lists based on a vast array of consumer information, we will be able to gain insight into the demographic and psychographic characteristics of various rider and non-rider market segments.

  • Tour 1: Wilshire BRT / Metro Orange Line Technical Tour – Limit 100
    Tour 1: Wilshire BRT / Metro Orange Line Technical Tour – Limit 100 Wilshire Boulevard is the most heavily used bus corridor in the County of Los Angeles. In addition to being the most heavily used transit corridor in the County, Wilshire Boulevard has the distinction of having some of the highest average daily traffic (ADT) volumes in the City of Los Angeles. The Wilshire BRT Project, completed in November 2015, added 7.7 miles of dedicated peak period curbside bus lanes, as well as other street, signal improvements and further enhancements to the existing transit signal priority system. The tour will include a short trip along this busy corridor with a brief stop at the Wilshire/Vermont Metro Red/Purple Line station. There you will be able to observe and hear about one of Metro’s successful joint development projects sitting on 5.64 acres or one entire City block. The project, completed in August 2007, consists of 3.24 acres of Metro-owned property ground leased to the developer, 449 apartments (20% affordable), 35,000 square feet of ground floor retail, new subway portal and elevator access. Another 2.4 acres was sold to the Los Angeles Unified School District to construct an 800-student middle school completed in October 2008 and opened in Fall 2009. Also, a new bus layover facility sitting on an adjacent 1.02 acre parcel was also constructed. From there, the tour will continue on to the North Hollywood Metro Orange/Red Line Station where the group will take a short trip on the Metro Orange Line.
