    Transportation and Community Planning MEMORANDUM TO: Committee of the Whole FROM: Daniel Kostopoulos, P.Eng. Commissioner of Transportation and Community Planning DATE: May 1, 2014 RE: York Region Transit (YRT/Viva) Ridership Statistics - March 2014 This memorandum provides an overview of YRT/Viva ridership statistics for March 2014. YRT/Viva’s March revenue ridership was 1.88 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5,200 revenue riders, or a decrease of 0.3 per cent compared to March 2013. Weather Heavy snowfalls and colder temperatures contributed to the lower ridership in March 2014 as ridership decreased during days with extreme cold temperatures and heavy snowfalls. Between March 3 and 6, 2014, York Region experienced four consecutive days with mean temperature below -10º Celsius and one day of snow. During this period, ridership showed a seven per cent decrease when compared to the same time period in 2013. The mean temperature in March 2014 was -4.8º Celsius, compared to -0.3º Celsius in March 2013[1]. Total snowfall accumulation was 29.1 cm in March 2014[1] compared to only 10.2 cm in the same month last year. There were seven days requiring winter maintenance in York Region compared with three days in March 2013. Employment The national unemployment rate in March 2014 was 6.9 per cent, a decrease of 0.3 per cent from the 7.2 per cent rate in March 2013[2]. York Region is located within the Employment Insurance Economic Region of Toronto which recorded an unemployment rate of 8.3 per cent in March 2014, a decrease of 0.2 per cent as compared to the 8.5 per cent rate in March 2013[3].

    9.8 Date: May 25, 2021 Originator’s files: To: Chair and Members of General Committee From: Geoff Wright, P.Eng, MBA, Commissioner of Meeting date: Transportation and Works June 9, 2021 Subject Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project Recommendation 1. That the report to General Committee entitled “Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project” dated May 25, 2021 from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works be received for information. 2. That Phase 1 of the Service Integration Pilot Project recommendations for enhanced cross-boundary travel be received for information. Executive Summary The Ministry of Transportation has convened a Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table that includes representatives of all transit agencies and aims to improve connections and the customer experience for inter-municipal transit travel. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has engaged a consultant team to develop an agency-driven FSI model to present to the Provincial-Municipal Table in partnership with surrounding transit agencies including MiWay. Currently MiWay, along with several other 905 agencies, are prohibited from providing local service within City of Toronto, resulting in TTC providing duplicate service for their residents. In addition, transit fares are not integrated between the TTC and MiWay. In partnership with the TTC, the Burnhamthorpe Road corridor has been selected for a transit service integration pilot project in the near-term (targeting fall 2021). 9.8 General Committee 2021/05/25 2 Background For decades, transit service integration has been discussed and studied in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Ministry of Transportation’s newly convened Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table consists of senior representatives from transit systems within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) and the broader GO Transit service area.

    Applying Life Cycle Assessment to Analyze the Environmental Sustainability of Public Transit Modes for the City of Toronto

    Applying life cycle assessment to analyze the environmental sustainability of public transit modes for the City of Toronto by Ashton Ruby Taylor A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography & Planning in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2016 Copyright © Ashton Ruby Taylor, 2016 Abstract One challenge related to transit planning is selecting the appropriate mode: bus, light rail transit (LRT), regional express rail (RER), or subway. This project uses data from life cycle assessment to develop a tool to measure energy requirements for different modes of transit, on a per passenger-kilometer basis. For each of the four transit modes listed, a range of energy requirements associated with different vehicle models and manufacturers was developed. The tool demonstrated that there are distinct ranges where specific transit modes are the best choice. Diesel buses are the clear best choice from 7-51 passengers, LRTs make the most sense from 201-427 passengers, and subways are the best choice above 918 passengers. There are a number of other passenger loading ranges where more than one transit mode makes sense; in particular, LRT and RER represent very energy-efficient options for ridership ranging from 200 to 900 passengers. The tool developed in the thesis was used to analyze the Bloor-Danforth subway line in Toronto using estimated ridership for weekday morning peak hours. It was found that ridership across the line is for the most part actually insufficient to justify subways over LRTs or RER. This suggests that extensions to the existing Bloor-Danforth line should consider LRT options, which could service the passenger loads at the ends of the line with far greater energy efficiency.

    5 2017 Transit System Performance Update

    Clause 5 in Report No. 4 of Committee of the Whole was adopted, without amendment, by the Council of The Regional Municipality of York at its meeting held on March 29, 2018. 5 2017 Transit System Performance Update Committee of the Whole recommends: 1. Receipt of the presentation by Ann-Marie Carroll, General Manager, Transit, Transportation Services. 2. Adoption of the following recommendation contained in the report dated February 16, 2018 from the Commissioner of Transportation Services: 1. This report be received for information. Report dated February 16, 2018 from the Commissioner of Transportation now follows: 1. Recommendations It is recommended this report be received for information. 2. Purpose This report provides Council with 2017 York Region Transit (YRT) ridership and overall system performance information. 3. Background Transit measures service performance in a number of ways. Revenue and operating data is generated through a variety of software that is gathered into a business intelligence system. Reports are generated and used by staff to monitor system-wide performance, as well as making operational and financial decisions. Staff also monitors service in real-time to manage the day-to-day operation. The most common service performance measures used by the transit industry include: Committee of the Whole 1 Transportation Services March 1, 2018 2017 Transit System Performance Update • Revenue ridership - the number of paying travellers using the service. • Net cost per passenger – net cost to operate a route divided by the number of travellers • On-time performance – the reliability of the service provided to the traveller. This is a key indicator for the overall success of the Operation and Maintenance contracts • Revenue-to-cost ratio – revenue collected through transit fares compared to the cost to operate service 4.
