Adjourn 0 CITY OF AMES, Iowa MEMO TO: Ames Transit Board of Trustees FROM: Sheri Kyras DATE: February 11, 2017 SUBJECT: System Redesign Study Presentation/Discussion BACKGROUND: At the January 19, 2017 Transit Board of Trustees meeting, CyRide’s System Redesign Study consultant, Nelson Nygaard, briefly updated board members on three potential transit system scenarios – ISU Status Quo, ISU Fiscally Constrained and Transformative. It was decided at that meeting that more time to understand and consider the options was needed and as a result, a special board meeting would be needed to accomplish these goals. Also, board members indicated an interest comments generated from the study’s online, community survey. INFORMATION: The purpose of the special meeting is to: • Provide a basic understanding of the changes under the Transformative scenario, as this option was not able to be discussed in great detail at the January board meeting, and to provide a summary of the two ISU scenarios discussed at that meeting • Discuss pros and cons for the community regarding each set of route changes in the scenarios • Introduce, and briefly discuss, new services that could be added to each of the scenarios as the “Transformative” and “ISU fiscally constrained” scenarios represent approximately 3% of the maximum 5% local funding partner’s annual increase approved by the Transit Board as a guiding principal for the study • Introduce, and briefly discuss, changes to CyRide’s operational policies, which could provide greater efficiency or cost effectiveness, but may impact current customer expectations • Discuss next steps and timing of study activities A PowerPoint presentation and handout materials will be prepared for the meeting to guide board members through the above topics.

  • April 1, 2003 OPERATIONS: Summer Run Pick: Run Pick for the Summer Schedule Has Started for Full Time Drivers and Will Begin On
    April 1, 2003 OPERATIONS: Summer Run Pick: Run pick for the summer schedule has started for full time drivers and will begin on April 15 for part time drivers. For those part time drivers who have never been through a run pick, here are a few things to keep in mind: .You will have a one-hour period to make your choice. If you cannot be here for any reason, fill out a "Driver’s Run Pick Choices" form and give it to any dispatcher. .If you are taking classes during the summer, be sure to have your class schedule with you when choosing runs. .As soon as the previous driver’s time has expired, the next driver may choose, so try to choose your run on time or the shifts you want may be taken by someone else. .Posted on the break room board are the shifts available to be chosen. For the summer run pick, you may choose any combination of shifts on different days (e.g., #41 on Tuesday, #49 on Wednesday, #30 & #56 on Friday). .As shifts are chosen by drivers higher on the seniority list, they will be crossed off the list that is posted on the board. The sheets on the tables are not guaranteed to be accurate. .Some shifts are grouped with an On Call. Both the regular shift and the On Call must be taken together. .Part time drivers must meet with Brent, Jenny, Barb, Karen, or Tom D. to choose a run so that we can confirm that the shifts are available and that all scheduling rules are met.
