This closure is an excellent example of two elements of our Vision and Corporate Plan. First, the work being undertaken at Pape Station is another important element of our Station Modernization Program. Second, the decision to close this station was based on feedback we sought from our customers and local residents and businesses on several options for speeding up construction work. This reflects our commitment to be more accessible and responsive to our customers and communities, to listen to them, and to engage them in the TTC’s initiatives. Customer journeys (ridership) were negligibly below target in Period 6. The year-end outlook is that ridership and passenger revenues will fall slightly below target, primarily due to the combined effects of several severe winter storms, the rainstorm and flood aftermath in early July, and decreases in the average fare that mostly stem from ongoing monthly pass sales growth. Subway punctuality on the Bloor-Danforth and Sheppard lines continued ahead of target. Punctuality on the Yonge- University-Spadina line continued below target. The recently established “Task Forces” to address root causes of delay are beginning to show positive effect with improvement to off-peak punctuality. SRT punctuality continued ahead of target. Bus, streetcar, and Wheel-Trans punctuality were each below target, but this is typical in the summer months when construction hits surface transit hard. Employee absence increased but remained below target for the fourth consecutive period. The overall trend continues to be encouraging with period results consistently lower than the comparable prior-year period. Elevator, escalator, and TVM/PVM availability were each above target. On the financial side, total year-to-date TTC revenues were below budget, primarily due to 1.3 million fewer customer journeys than planned and a lower average fare than budgeted. This was offset by operating under-expenditures so at the present time, no major variance from the year-end budget is being projected. Capital expenditures were below budget for a host of reasons (see Section 4.3). 2.2 – Customer Satisfaction Survey The Q2 2013 Customer Satisfaction Survey shows an overall customer satisfaction rating of 79%. This represents a 4% improvement in overall customer satisfaction compared to Q1 2013 (75%) and a 7% increase compared to Q4 2012 (72%). The survey also demonstrated positive trends for customer perceptions of wait times for vehicles, duration of trips for bus and streetcars, and the cleanliness of subway vehicles. The Q2 results are encouraging and are more consistent with the improvements in punctuality, vehicle and station cleanliness, escalator availability, and various “quick wins” that have been delivered in recent months. The expectation is that with continued focus on those issues that are important to customers, the customer satisfaction scores will continue to improve over time. The detailed results of the Q1 and Q2 2013 Customer Satisfaction Survey will be presented to the Board at the September meeting. 5 2.3 – Customer Journeys 60 There were 50.389M customer journeys (ridership) taken during Period 6 2013, which was 50 1.162M (+2.4%) more than the 49.227M journeys taken during Period 6 2012. 40 The annual number of customer 30 journeys to the end of Period 6 2013 was 519.542M, which was 12.752M (+2.5%) more than the 20 506.790M annual journeys taken to the end of Period 6 2012.
