Miami-Dade Transit Metromover Fleet Management Plan _______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Roosevelt Bradley Director June 2003 Revision III Mission Statement “To meet the needs of the public for the highest quality transit service: safe, reliable, efficient and courteous.” ________________________________________________________________ Metromover Fleet Management Plan June 2003 Revision III MIAMI-DADE TRANSIT METROMOVER FLEET MANAGEMENT PLAN June 2003 This document is a statement of the processes and practices by which Miami- Dade Transit (MDT) establishes current and projected Metromover revenue- vehicle fleet size requirements and operating spare ratio. It serves as an update of the October 2000 Fleet Management Plan and includes a description of the system, planned revenue service, projected growth of the system, and an assessment of vehicle maintenance current and future needs. Revisions of the October 2000 Fleet Management Plan contained in the current plan include: • Use of 2-car trains as a service improvement to address overcrowding during peak periods • Implementation of a rotation program to normalize vehicle mileage within the fleet • Plans to complete a mid-life modernization of the vehicle fleet Metromover’s processes and practices, as outlined in this plan, comply not only with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 9030.1B, Chapter V, Section 15 entitled, “Fixed Guideway Rolling Stock,” but also with supplemental information received from FTA. This plan is a living document based on current realities and assumptions and is, therefore, subject to future revision. The plan is updated on a regular basis to assist in the planning and operation of Metromover. The Fleet Management Plan is structured to present the demand for service and methodology for analysis of that demand in Section Two. Section Three of the plan addresses the supply of vehicles, explains the balance between the demand for and supply of vehicles, and summarizes the maintenance plan.
