2019 Plan of Service

PLAN OF SERVICE Fiscal Year 2019-2020

Introduction Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority (The COMET) was formed by the City of Columbia, Richland County, Lexington County and City of Forest Acres in 2000 and was given the responsibility for providing local transit service within Richland and Lexington Counties as a regional transportation authority under South Carolina Code of Laws, Chapter 25. The COMET contracts for operations and maintenance of transit services with Transdev, Enterprise, Bewegen, Uber and Lyft. Staff are directly responsible for planning, capital investments, financial management, and operations oversight. The COMET is financially supported by Richland County Transportation Penny Funds, Lexington County General Funds, State Mass Transit Act Funds, fares, miscellaneous and advertising revenues and Federal Section 5307, 5310, 5311, 5339 transit funds. The COMET serves the Cities of Columbia, Forest Acres, Cayce, West Columbia, Towns of Eastover, Springdale and Richland and Lexington Counties. In addition, on a limited basis, the Towns of Cayce, Batesburg-Leesville, Lexington, Newberry and Little Mountain, as well as Newberry County are served. There are 11 voting board members that consist of representatives from City of Columbia, Richland County, Lexington County and City of Forest Acres, as well as the Richland County Legislative Delegation and six advisory board members from the City of Cayce, City of West Columbia, Town of Springdale and Lexington County Legislative Delegation. The Board of Directors meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. This Plan of Service as defined below is consistent with the Central Midlands Council of Governments/Columbia Area Transportation Study 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, adopted August of 2015. That plan is available here: http://centralmidlands.org/wp-content/uploads/2040-LONG-RANGE-TRANSPORTATION-PLAN- APPROVED-AUGUST-27-2015.pdf and details about The COMET is shown on page 82.

(a) The area to be served.

The COMET intends to serve the following area: • Columbia • Eastover • Forest Acres • Richland County • Lexington County • Cayce • West Columbia • Springdale

The COMET intends to serve these jurisdictions on a limited basis: • Batesburg/Leesville • Chapin • Little Mountain • Newberry • Newberry County • Sumter • Sumter County

The System Map as of August 2019 is attached as Exhibit A.

(b) The procedures to be used to serve the area.

The Board of Directors in April 2019 adopted a “Service Equity Policy” which establishes service equity for jurisdictions outside of Richland County that would like to have the Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority (The COMET) provide transit service. The policy defines four approaches for service to jurisdictions within the Columbia Urbanized Area (the “CUA”) that is outside Richland County. The first approach, joining The COMET, provides the preferred option for service; however, jurisdictions may not have the capacity to participate through a dedication of a local sales tax. For those jurisdictions, the remaining approaches provide options for service and would allow The COMET to distribute Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 funds to non-member jurisdictions equitably. All participation in The COMET is defined as provided in the Regional Transportation Authority Law, Title 58, Chapter 25, Section 58-25-35, Enabling Act and the current Intergovernmental Agreement, with the consent of 90% of the population within the service area.

The Policy is attached as Exhibit B.

The Service Area and Urbanized Area Boundaries is attached as Exhibit C.

(c) The estimated capital and operating costs by year for the first five years of operation, and the mechanism to be used to raise the local funds necessary to support the operation.

The total proposed budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020 is ~$29.80 million, increasing $3.42 million or 13% from $26.38 million in FY 2019-2020. The table below provides the budgets major categories, percentage change from FY 2018-2019 to FY 2019-2020 and percent of revenue.

Issued: February 2019 SERVICE EQUITY Revised: POLICY

Approved by: Board of Directors

PURPOSE This policy establishes service equity for jurisdictions outside of Richland County that would like to have the Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority (The COMET) provide transit service. The policy defines four approaches for service to jurisdictions within the Columbia Urbanized Area (the “CUA”) that is outside Richland County. The first approach, joining The COMET, provides the preferred option for service; however, jurisdictions may not have the capacity to participate through a dedication of a local sales tax. For those jurisdictions, the remaining approaches provide options for service and would allow The COMET to distribute Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 funds to non-member jurisdictions equitably. All participation in The COMET is defined as provided in the Regional Transportation Authority Law, Title 58, Chapter 25, Section 58-25-35, Enabling Act and the current Intergovernmental Agreement, with the consent of Richland County and the City of Columbia which represent 90% of the population within the service area. POLICY

Except for Charter and Special Events services as authorized by separate policy and other services as described in this policy, The COMET transit service will not extend beyond the boundaries of The COMET Service Area. The COMET service equity policy for jurisdictions within the CUA, but outside the service area (Richland County) includes the following four options, in accordance with the Regional Transportation Authority Law, Title 58, Chapter 25, Section 58-25-20 and 35:

1. Join The COMET: A municipality, county or part of a county for which the governing body has approved joining The COMET and dedicated a local sales tax for transit as defined in Title 4, Chapter 37 of the South Carolina Code of

Laws, Optional Methods for Financing Transportation Facilities can join The COMET. This action will require the

consent of Richland County and the City of Columbia which represent 90% of the population within the service area,

per the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement, a voting seat would be provided on the Board of Directors.

2. Contract for Service: A jurisdiction could enter into an intergovernmental agreement with The COMET for transit services. The jurisdiction pays the variable cost of service, with a credit given to the jurisdiction for FTA and State Mass Transit Fund eligible expenses. Jurisdictions that contract for service are eligible to receive The COMET service based on the ability to match the FTA funds that are allocated to the jurisdiction based on population, population density, low income population and vehicle revenue miles. For a voting seat on the Board of Directors, consent of Richland County and the City of Columbia which represents 90% of the population within the service area, per the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement would be required.

3. Become a FTA Sub-Recipient: Sub-recipients contract directly with a transit service provider and seek reimbursement for the federal portion of FTA eligible expenses through The COMET. The COMET maintains responsibility for federal compliance, certifications and related coordination with FTA. Sub-recipients are eligible to receive service through the most appropriate contract service provider at their discretion. Central Midlands Council of Governments (CMCOG) would sub-allocate funding to FTA sub-recipients through a planning process defined by CMCOG based on population, population density, low income population and vehicle revenue miles.

4. Become a Direct Recipient: Direct recipients receive FTA funds directly from FTA for eligible expenses. The recipient is responsible for the management of funds and assumes all responsibility for federal compliance,

certifications and local match. CMCOG would sub-allocate funding to FTA direct recipients through a planning

process defined by CMCOG based on population, population density, low income population and vehicle revenue

miles. The jurisdiction would determine the best approach to operate transit, either directly, contract with The COMET

or contract with an alternate provider.

All agreements for service under this policy must be approved by The COMET Board of Directors and meet the minimum requirements established in the appendix. Additionally, any transit services provided by The COMET must comply with the Regional Transportation Authority Law, Title 58, Chapter 25, Section 58-25-20 definition regarding "Regional transportation area" which means that area pursuant to the groupings of counties as set forth in Article 3 of Chapter 7 of Title 6. In the case of The COMET, the county grouping includes Richland, Lexington, Newberry and Fairfield Counties.

The COMET may provide transit service outside Richland County as defined in Regional Transportation Authority Law, Title

58, Chapter 25, Section 58-25-50 (r) “To provide transportation services for residents of the service area to destinations

outside the service area;”, if The COMET Board of Directors find that providing service for residents of the service area could benefit Richland County residents.

Appendix A: Guidelines for Service Equity

To ensure that the service equity policy is implemented in a manner that achieves regional goals, a process has been developed to provide guidelines to distribute FTA and State Mass Transit funds that would be allocated to The COMET. The COMET is responsible for receiving these funds for Richland and Lexington Counties and the regional funds are allocated as defined below:

1. Overall funding: a. Federal (population, population density, low income population and vehicle revenue miles) b. Local (sales tax, hospitality tax, miscellaneous funding) c. State (Mass Transit Program fund)

2. The factors above should correlate with the level of services operating in each jurisdiction: a. Route miles operated b. Route hours operated Once these factors have been determined, an operating cost per hour rate should be developed to charge for services to each jurisdiction within The COMET’s service area. This charge for services should take into consideration:

1. Fixed Route Operating Cost Per Hour, increases each year times the number of hours operated in each jurisdiction. Routes should be allocated based on the percentage of vehicle miles operated in each jurisdiction.

2. Paratransit Operating Cost Per Hour, increases each year times the number of hours operated based on the passenger’s originating point. For example, if a passenger originates a trip in Columbia and travels to West Columbia, that trip would be assigned to the jurisdiction of the originating trip.

The cost factors below should be the total amount divided by the total % of service provided by each jurisdiction, which would be the basis of the below:

3. Administrative Overhead (The COMET Administration)

4. Capital Depreciation (vehicle, facility use)

5. Operating Overhead (fuel, operating supplies)

The final formula should include each of the five cost factors above to provide one operating cost per hour rate. Such rate should be calculated each fiscal year.

Any route operating in The COMET transit system shall be proportionally allocated to the jurisdiction that it serves.

A service agreement with a jurisdiction must be approved by The COMET Board of Directors, shall not adversely impact or delay any transit service that is included in the then-current Plan of Service and Financial Plan and shall not be inconsistent with any The COMET policy.

Allocation of Funds Each year, The COMET, in conjunction with CMCOG will determine the amount of FTA funds allocated to the region by FTA. As with the FTA apportionment method, The COMET will use population, population density, low income population and vehicle revenue miles to determine the amount of funds designated to The COMET service area and to the CUA outside of the service area. Once the calculation and resulting figures are approved by CMCOG Board of Directors, The COMET’s portion will be subtracted, and jurisdictions will be informed of the amount available to the non-member jurisdictions in the Columbia UZA by CMCOG.

Request For New Service Jurisdictions that are not currently participating in an agreement for service, but wish to begin service shall provide The COMET with assurances and data that demonstrate there is sufficient support and need for public transit services. A formal request shall include the following:

1. A resolution demonstrating intent of commitment through City Council, County Council, Town Council or equivalent policy-making body formal action. The resolution will provide assurances of the following:

• Funding Commitment: The jurisdiction must provide proof of local match for no less than one year of the program, which will include payment of the operating cost per hour. • Community Support: This formal commitment will ensure that there is sufficient community and stakeholder support for the service. • Acknowledgement of ADA Complementary Paratransit Service Needs: For local fixed- route service, the resolution shall also address the requirement to provide ADA complementary paratransit service. Service providers are required to fulfill any ADA complementary paratransit request from an ADA-qualified passenger for an ADA-eligible trip. For service provided by The COMET’s paratransit service (DART), jurisdictions will be required to reimburse The COMET for the variable cost per vehicle hour related to DART service. • Method of Participation in The COMET: The approach of participation with The COMET, based on the policy.

2. Applicants may be asked to provide additional information pursuant to FTA and SCDOT requirements.

3. Upon completion of each the requirements, an Intergovernmental Agreement between The COMET and participating jurisdiction would be executed governing funding, service and other requirements as negotiated and as approved by The COMET Board of Directors.

Requests for Continuing Service: Jurisdictions that are currently participating in an agreement for service with The COMET and wish to continue providing the service, or adjust the service can request an extension of the service agreement on an annual basis. Such extension would require an affirmation of the financial support by the jurisdiction, an update of the operating cost per hour rate and any requested changes to the service that is impacting the jurisdiction. Upon approval by The COMET Board of Directors, an extension amendment to the service agreement would be prepared and executed by the jurisdiction and The COMET.
