of the NVCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING No 0313 Mar 22 2013

NVCA UPDATES WATERSHED HEALTH REPORTING Conservation Authorities in Ontario first piloted watershed health repot cards more than 10 years ago to ensure watershed health conditions were communicated clearly to the public The NVCA produced its first report cards in 2007 and by 1008 had released report cards for all nine subwatersheds reporting on surface water quality forest cover and wetland conditions Updates are scheduled to occur every five years

The newest round of reports were provided to the Board of Directors at the March meeting for review and input before their release in June 2013 They have been expanded to include assessments of groundwater and stewardship activities

The 2013 reports are titled Subwatershed Health Checks and they provide detailed information on subwatershed health past stewardship initiatives and recommendations for future protection and restoration The Health Checks are intended to supplement the provincial level Watershed Report Cards by providing technical support and local management detail The Watershed Report Cards were released during Water Week March 1822 2013 and they too will be released every five years providing a more highlevel review of general trends

LEASE RENEWALS APPROVED The NVCA owns approximately 12000 acres of land in the watershed for the purposes of recreation conservation and scientific study Some portions are leased to third parties for purposes including recreation such as parks and campgrounds cultural activities and agriculture These leases are usually up for renewal every five years at an annual fee increase of 3 plus HST

At the March meeting the Board of Directors approved the following lease renewals on NVCA properties property within the New Lowell Conservation Area to lane and Wally Ivits for recreational purposes property within the Minesing Wetlands Conservation Area for agricultural use and property within an area known as Riverdale Park to the Town of New Tecumseth for recreational purposes

To Cheryl McCarroll ManagerClerk of Administration Town of New Tecumseth

Re Deposition to the Town of New Tecumseth Council re proposal for a Public Transportation System

Dear Cheryl

Im quite excited about making this presentation as I believe strongly my idea will help TNT move towards a realistic affordable public transit system for our town as it will In addition my proposal will open up our town to more accelerated growth also greatly increase public travel rates within and to our Town

to meet TNT needs a plan for public transit for our growing seniors population and the current and future needs of the community in conjunction with its economical and environmental strategic plan re Section 60 Supporting and Advocating for Community Services

of our In addition we recognise that TNT is a bedroom community with the bulk commuters travelling the 400 series highways primarily to Toronto Congestion and The of costs are making this more difficult and cost prohibitive every year City to their Toronto is now planning more stringent penalties for commuters travelling city Public transit access will be paramount for TNT in the near future

see Transit guidance doc PDF TAC paper 0505210

We can help you make it happen a Current situation in TNT Currently there is no public transit in place The town does subsidize taxi service for seniors or others as designated on a pre approved needs basis This system is estimated to cost between 80000 and 100000 dollars per annum

b First stage Recommendation for service within our town I would suggest that our service industry is one of TNTs largest demographics I would recommend we contact survey those businesses Service organizations and clubs to see who would have an interest in supporting a bus service on a shared cost basis Having a business club or organization on a scheduled rout would increase customer travel rate ridership for those participating companies thereby increasing revenue profits So they would have a vested interest in supporting such an initiative There is already a request understand

A basic schedule and vehicle size selection would be based on the survey of expected M participants and a study and estimated passenger usage Our community centers would also be connected in line with Parks Recs Manager Ray Osmond plan of shared community facilities so TNT would also have a vested interest

Sample user shared system

c Second stage Connecting TNT residents to city commuter mass transit systems

It naturally follows that once we have a basic internal transit system in operation we would then have a means to expand by developing existing routes while connecting to a larger system Of course any viable transit plan can not be piece meal we should look at the bigger picture first what will be our future transportation needs We should think big but start small and within our means

We would start to take advantage of current public transit systems readily accessible to our region such as the Go Transit trains buss and the main 400 corridor kiss Ride parking areas This would eventually attract more residents to public transit while at the same time such a system would be key to attracting new residents to the town thereby supporting increased business and the sale of new housing tremendously

d Interim Go Transit connect plan for TNT

The Town of Bradford will have a public transit system implemented by this fall Part of their new system boarders on TNT at Bond Head As part of our first stage we could connect to their transit system giving TNT residents access to Go Transit and Kiss and Ride parking Currently their plan for this leg is to use a dedicated taxi minivan service however they are prepared to review this should we go ahead with some form of public transit to be discussed with TNT planning dept a

We can help you make it happen y Town of Bradford Transit Implementation Plan 2013

Town Statement for new transit system The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury BWG is a small sized community with about 25000 residents that has limited interregional public transit service offered by GO Transit By 2031 the Town is predicted to reach a buildout population of more than 50000 residents Given the rising costs of private automobilebased transportation and lack of alternatives the Town has initiated this study to determine the feasibility of a public transit service based upon the responses from Town residents in a March 2011 public meeting Note Bradfords populous protections are not unlike TNTs Actually TNTs strategic plan calls for 60000 by 2311

INCERT DOC FINAL REPORT MARCH 2012 PDF doc 036132

Please refer to Exibit A in Final report In their final report the Town of Bradford included a stop and pick up point in Bond Head WGB This is as close to TNT as horse shoes and handgranades Bradford considers this stop A sharedride taxi service best applied to serve lowdemand areas and markets It is the ideal service option to connect residents in the rural areas with the Town centre and to shuttle Town residents to and from the GO Trains in peak periods

Its quite clear that the town of Bradford considered Bond Head a rural area for their study Im sure if they had considered the population of TNT as part of their ridership the Bond Head stop would not be a lowdemand area but rather very high demand

The Bradford Transit Plan is now quite far along with budgets and routEs already planned and will be in operation this fall

Insert Transportation implementation Plan for The Town ofBradford PDF doc 040425

We can help you make it happen Other considerations

There is a funding from Gas Tax revenues available to the Town and enhanced funding available for the town from the Fed government through Simcoe County It was announced on April 1 2009 the federal Gas Tax Transfers to support municipal infrastructure will remain beyond 2014 to provide municipalities with stable funding for longterm infrastructure priorities such as water wastewater and solid waste infrastructure public transit community energy systems and local roads and bridges If you are in a position to reallocate some of the funding to support public transit this would probably be more palatable than adding to the budget Also I expect that outside private transit companies would consider certain routs to New Tecumseth once we have a system established

Summary

My recommendation is we initiate a basic service in our town first as I have stated in section b of my presentation This would be followed by negotiations with the Town of Bradford as per my recommendation in section d which is to connect a service operated by TNT to the Bradford transit system Using a progressive approach will give the town time to implement a public transit system in the most cost effective manner

The advantages of such an initial start up plan and shared connection are numerous some are as follows

A TNT residents would have access to shopping medical and social services within TNT

B Costs would be kept to a minimum with local businesses initially contributing on a shared basis discussion point

C TNT residents would have access to kiss Ride locations on the 400 Hwy corridors

D TNT residents would have access to the Bradford Go Train

E Reduced road maintenance cost and usage as commuters are encouraged to use transit system for go train and Kiss Ride

F From a marketing perspective TNT has more business to gain from shoppers coming from the Young St core than going the other way

G New Tecumseth must have a public transportation plan put in place in keeping with the strategic plan and expected growth of the town

We can help you make it happen I have already investigated the feasibility of my idea as related to connecting with The Town of Bradfords transit system with their Planning Director of Engineering Debbie Korolek who feels it has merit Debbie suggested I discuss the idea with their new transit consultant Wally Beck to explore such connections feasibility I contacted Wally who feels there is good merit in exploring a connection to TNT and have some very good ideas to share with TNT Wally Beck is highly thought of in public transit circles and open to meet with TNT Planning staff to outline some systems he has successfully implemented for other jurisdictions including a very successful system that services a community of just 10000

I also discussed this with Rob Keffer Bradfords Deputy Mayor who spEarheaded the Bradford public transit system he also feels this is something we can work together on

Thanks you for your attention to this important matter and I look forward to your positive reply

Sincerely yours

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A Introduction

The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury BWG is a small sized community with about 25000 residents that has limited interregional public transit service offered by GO Transit By 2031 the Town is predicted to reach a buildout population of more than 50000 residents Given the rising costs of private automobilebased transportation and lack of alternatives the Town has initiated this study to determine the feasibility of a public transit service based upon the responses from Town residents in a March 2011 public meeting

The study was undertaken to answer the following questions What are public transit needs for residents and the business community in BWG What are the reasonable levels of service and investment for a community such as BWG What service options exist that can appropriately service demand What is the most appropriate business model to deliver service How will public transit in Bradford West Gwillimbury be funded

B Toproperlyaddress thequestons above the study needed to

Quantify the need for transit service in Bradford West Gwillimbury Determine the levels of service and investment in similarsized municipalities Determine transit service priorities based on local stakeholder input Determine how public transit service can be provided today and in the future Estimate the startup operating and net costs to BWG over the first five years Recommend a preferred alternatives If deemed feasible outline the next steps required to getting transit services started

C Stakeholder Consultations

On September 22 2011 HDR met with representative groups of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury in a Transit Focus Group TFG environment to provide the study background and objectives and to obtain their input in identifying issues opportunities and priorities

The TFGs took place with the following representatives of the community Business Community General Public Transit service providers

Highlights of the TFGs presented include The lack of affordable public transportation has been somewhat of a roadblock to the expansion of the Town Major employers find it difficult to expand their operations and some potential residents choose to live elsewhere

March 2012 1 6329 ta Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

The continued expansion of the Towns west end has shifted major destinations and access and services are not within employers away from the Towns core meaning to goods a vehicle walking distance for many residents who do not have personal The majority of employees in the Towns industrial and agricultural sectors are not Bradford in its residents This is a costly and difficult market to serve for a transit system infancy Retail employers and parttime employees would welcome affordable public transportation since the employees are typically young and cannot afford their own vehicle Families with teenagers feel that transit would improve their quality of life since parents would not have to disrupt their schedules to pickup or dropoff their children at work or afterschool activities A link between the retail nodes and the Town centre is identified as a first priority with links to GO Transit identified as a second priority A fixed route taxi service would suffice for residents in rural areas such as Bond Head Parkview Transit is a local and experienced service provider that has the required personnel and facilities to maintain and operate a transit vehicle Town Taxi is amenable to a concept of a fixed route taxi service provided there is a negotiated longterm agreement

D Transportation Demand Analysis

A transportation demand analysis was conducted and the findings were consistent with the findings of the stakeholder consultations Goods and services are dispersed throughout the Town with heavy concentration in the West End along the Highway 88 corridor Work trips within the town are usually completed by private vehicles There are a considerable number of discretionary trips appointments shopping made within the town by the seniors population during the midday and late afternoon at the same time the number of auto passenger trips is considerably higher during these periods highlighting a possible mobility issue for the Towns aging population The student aged population is reliant on rides from friends and or family to access schools afterschool activities or parttime jobs Where possible connections with GO Transit should be considered and implemented the existing GO Transit schedule allows for this possibility

E Preferred Service Options

Bradford Community Bus

Eventually as demand for service matures conventional transit service will be required to serve the community at all hours with a focus on work trips and student travel during the peak hours However it takes a few years for a transit system to mature During the interim startup period it is recommended that a community bus that links several origins and destinations be provided with a minimum level of service and be expanded as demand dictates

To be successful the route must link residential areas to major destinations for nonworkbased such as trips linking seniors residences shopping centres recreational facilities and medical

1 1 Ll March 2012 1 6329 Town of Bradford West Gvvillimbury Transit Feasibility Study buildings Although the service is geared to the nonwork trip the route and service design will at least accommodate some work trips Based on the consensus reached through stakeholder consultations and lessons learned elsewhere this is the type of service that best fits Bradfords transit needs today

The preferred community bus concept is presented below in Exhibit A The concept was designed keeping in mind the following guidelines that meet conventional transit roLte design criteria Service must connect residents with the downtown Four Corners area and the emerging retail area in the west end of town Ninety percent of the Towns residents must be within 400 in of the bus route Service must integrate with GO Transit The cycle time of a single route the time to complete one roundtrip must not eXceed one hour

The proposed Community bus route incorporates the elements of a conventional transit service however service frequency is limited and as such the service is designed to simply enable residents to access most destinations in the Town for shopping medical and other purposes

Rural Area GO Train Shared Ride Fixed Route Taxi Services

A sharedride taxi service is best applied to serve lowdemand areas and markets It is the ideal service option to connect residents in the rural areas with the Town centre and to shuttle Town residents to and from the GO Trains in peak periods The service would be demandresponsive whereby the customers call the dispatch centre to request service and a vehicle will be sent to pick them up at a negotiated location and time along or close to a predetermined route However based on other requests the dispatcher will direct the operator to pick up other passengers if feasible

The shared ride taxi service to serve Bond Head is shown below in Exhibit A It is envisioned that the service will be comprised of four round trips per day two to three times a week In order to ensure that vehicle capacity is not exceeded passengers will have to reserve their trip on a firstcome firstserved basis

Although Concept 3 is recommended the other concepts identified in this report can still be considered In this regard the final routing selected can therefore be subject to change

The sharedride taxi service to the GO station can be determined at a later date and will be based on the demand The routes selected should mirror those of the community bus route while the number of taxis required would be dependent upon the demand for each GO Transit train departure and arrival The Bond Head sharedride taxi service can also be adjusted based on demand

Five Year Operating Budget I When developing transit budgets the operating costs are broken down between variable operating costs and fixed operating costs Variable operating costs are dependent on the hours and kilometres of operation while fixed operating costs are incurred regardless of the level of service provided For simplicity purposes and to be conservative a standard operating cost of 70 per hour is used for the cost calculations required for the community bus services while 40 per hour is used for the fixedroute sharedride services These values includes all variable and fixed costs including wages and benefits fuel insurance and other overhead costs Costs are subject to final negotiations with the selected service providers

A five year operating budget is demonstrated in Table B

March 2012 16329 Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

Based on the service plan above BWG will require a small community bus approximately 92 metre 30low floor bus to provide service at cost of 200000 per bus An additional bus should be purchased as a spare vehicle unless a service contractor selected has proper spare vehicles available By year three a third bus will be needed to meet service growth projections

A budget of 400000 to purchase two buses is required if capital from current is used Alternatively the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury may elect to debenture the purchase over a period of five to seven years This would approximate 60000 80000 per year for two buses

Table C presents a Five Year capital budget In addition to the vehicle purchase cost bus stops and bus shelters are included

H Business and Governance Models

Funding

While it is likely that the Towns transit investment will be paid for via the property tax base there are two alternative sources that are available to fund the initial transit startup and future expansion

Ontario Gas Tax The Province of Ontario two cent per litre dedicated Gas Tax funding program was available in 2005 to all municipalities that operated a public transit service The allocation is based on 70 transit ridership and 30 municipal population which is reviewed annually Dedicated gas tax funds are not to exceed 75 of municipal own account spending on public transportation The amount of Gas Tax available to BWG is finite and for the purposes of this study has been set at 220000 per year

To get an idea of what the Gas Tax allocation may be for BWG the Town of Brockville population 24000 which is similar to BWG received 219500 in the 20082009 fiznding year

March 2012 6329 E i Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

Building Canada Fund and Federal Gas Tax The Federal Government of Canada legislated that its Gas Tax Fund becomes a permanent funding mechanism to help municipalities pay for capital works While the majority of the fund has been used for engineering roadwork this revenue source is also used to pay for transit infrastructure improvements Across Canada nearly 37 of the monies collected in the Gas Tax Fund are used for transitrelated infrastructure

It is recommended that the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury consider using some of the Federal Government Gas Tax Fund to pay for transit infrastructure such as buses and bus stops

Recommended Business Model

Given that BWG does not have full time staff resources or facilities to operate a transit system the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury needs a business model that includes An experienced partner that has Dedicated staff licensed and trained management accountability properly drivers E Maintenance capabilities Availability of spare vehicles if required Dispatch service in place A partner that has a vested interest in the success of the service i r

4 Based on the aforementioned the Public Management and Private Operations Maintenance option is recommended Through a contract with a single agency where maintenance facilities fare collection and reporting capabilities administration customer service and other common operating costs are minimized through economies of scale Further the agency could be responsible for coordination with the taxi industry on behalf of Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury BWG depending on the negotiated operating agreement

Community bus type vehicles eg 92 metre 30 low floor buses that can be maintained at most garages would be most appropriate for a smaller urban area such as BWG to start Locally Parkview Transit has full maintenance and storage capabilities along with drivers that possess the proper licences to operate a public transit service and has dispatch capabilities

Recommended Governance Model

Given that the funding of the transit services is the responsibility of BWG BWG should have the following responsibilities Setting policies Determining bus routes and bus stops in consultation with the service provider Determining fares Revenue risk Public accountability Service planning Meeting Accessibility for Ontarians Disability Act relative to transit services Liaison with other municipal transit systems eg GO Transit York Region Transit Barrie Transit

March 2012 6329 Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

To ensure the investment in transit is protected a Bradford Transit system will require a champion from within the existing staff organization The staff member would liaise with the service provider and be the point of contact for council members and the public

In terms of governance Council is ultimately responsible and as such it is suggested that a Transit Committee be established consisting of members of the public transit users nontransit users the business community and Town staff Alternatively the Transit Committee mandate can be added to an existing committee such as the Active Transportation Committee The focus group will meet as required to discuss transit service issues and policies and ultimately reach consensus

1 Public Open House

Two consecutive public open houses were held at the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library on Thursday January 19 2012 Open house boards were on display for the 46pm open house which had 26 registered attendees and the 68pm open house which had 22 registerc d attendees A PowerPoint presentation was given by HDR at 430pm and 630pm followed by a question and answer period Attendees were invited to submit comments in writing at the ope1 house or through email and fax by January 27 2012 Written comments as well as a summary of the questions and answers are provided in Appendix A Public Open House Input

Input from the public varied considerably but for the most part there was clear suppcrt for the service There were two concerned about the cost to the taxpayer while most others expressed that the service recommended at startup did not go far enough that is more hours of service and more service for more buses were requested Other comments related to the routing of the buses students and the need for a specialized service for the physically disabled

a base 1o move The open house comments and subsequent comments received provide good forward with should Council decide to take the next steps and implement transit service

J Conclusion and Next Steps

The recommendations of this report reflected input from a wide range of stakeholders There is no doubt that the residents and businesses of Bradford West Gwillimbury will benefit from the provision of public transit services particularly given the growth underway Businesses will have for better access to employees while the need to own a second or third car would be mitigated income some households which provides households with additional disposable It is also recognized that while fixed route transit service will meet many resident needs including those with mobility constraints it does not go far enough to meet the need3 of those for those usi unable to use transit services A specialized door to door transit service rg mobility aids such as wheelchairs will need to be addressed in the future given the aging population and resulting increase in special needs transportation

service as demand increases Fortunately the Provincial dedicated gas tax can go a long way to helping transit get started and mature

If funds are approved locally it is recommended that the following next steps be undertaken Enter into discussions with the Ministry of Transportation to confirm gas tax funding amount Approach Simcoe County to help fund Transit costs a Establish a Transit Committee or alternatively add the mandate to an existing committee such as the Active Transportation Committee Commence discussions negotiations with local service providers Negotiate with GO Transit York Region Transit and Barrie Transit to determine a fare integration strategy Initiate purchase of two community buses and fare collection equipment Finalize the bus route design Undertake lowcost transit marketing activities Install bus stops Provide one month of free bus service

Given the availability of local bus transportation expertise and transit facilities available through Parkview Transit it is suggested that the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury consider entering into negotiations with Parkview Transit to demonstrate the service for a period of one to two years Thereafter the service can be tendered to a successful bidder

1 INTRODUCTION

The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury BWG is a small sized community with 25000 residents located about 60 km north of Downtown Toronto in the County of Simcoe Existing public transit service in the Town is limited to the interregional services offered by 30 Transit which links Bradford with surrounding communities such as Barrie to the north and southerly to Newmarket Four round trips per day between Bradford and Downtown Toronto are offered by GO Transits peak period rail services In 2031 the Greater Golden Horseshoe land use forecasts project a population of 50500 within the Town with more growth planned in neighbouring Innisfil Barrie and the northern reaches of York Region

Given the projected growth in the area and the increasing costs of private automobilbased transportation the Town of BWG understands that a business as usual approach to their transportation needs will not be tenable for their residents in the medium to long term The availability of publicly funded transportation is important to both the business community and residents as is the case with similar sized municipalities across Canada

In March 2011 the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury hosted a public information session to The session was wellreceived gauge the communitys interest in public transit service by residents who provided a great deal of input and feedback pertaining to this proposition

11 Study Objectives

Recognizing that public transportation across North America operates at a deficit BVG decided resources will be to undertake a Transit Feasibility Study to ensure that their valuable and limited committed to investments that provide the greatest economic social and environmental benefits

The Town therefore retained the services of HDR to undertake a Transit Feasibility Study to answer following questions What are public transit needs for residents and the business community in BWG What service options exist that can appropriately service demand What is the most appropriate business model to deliver service How will public transit in Bradford West Gwillimbury be funded

To properly address the questions above the study needed to Quantify the need for transit service in Bradford West Gwillimbury Determine transit service priorities based on local stakeholder input Determine how public transit service can beset be provided today and in the future Estimate the startup operating and net costs to BWG over the first five years Recommend a preferred alternatives If deemed feasible outline the next steps required to getting transit services startd

Ultimately the key objective is to identify an affordable public transit service option that meets the needs of residents and businesses in a fiscally responsible manner

2 PEER REVIEW

HDR identified a number of similarsized municipalities across Canada in a peer review to assist the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury in determining what expectations are for conventional public transit today and for the future Two separate peer reviews were carried out one for conventional transit and another for specialized wheelchair accessible transit

Conventional Transit is best defined as a fixed route scheduled service similar to tho 3e offered by York Region Transit and Barrie Transit where 122 metre 40 heavy duty buses are used Specialized Transit is best defined as a reservationbased door to door or curb to curb service used to accommodate those with mobility aids such as wheelchairs This is provided in York Region through Mobility Plus and in Barrie through BACTS where accessible vans small buses and taxis are used The median value of each of the peer review statistics will be used as a basis to help establish reasonable expectations for stakeholders during the initial Transit Focus Group consultations

This review uses data from the Canadian Urban Transit Associations CUTA 2009 Canadian and Ontario Transit Fact Book2 for conventional and specialized transit systems HDR compared various operating financial and performance data among municipalities with a population of 15000 to 55000 The wide range has been selected to demonstrate what can be reasonably expected short term in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury as well as in the future as the Town approaches its build out population of 50500

1 and car Caution should be used when assessing peer review statistics since the densities topography vary The more significantly from one municipality to another or the maturity of transit systems can vary significantly a level of the transit service levels n other important aspect of peer reviews is to provide high understanding jurisdictions and the levels of municipal investment which will drive decisionmaking 2 The Ontario Ministry of Transportation conducts an annual data collection study for all of Ontario transit systems as the Town of Bradford West which include a large number of systems with similar characteristics Gwillimbury

As seen in Table 21 municipal population and service area population is identified The difference between the two is that the municipal population identifies the total population within the municipality The service area population as defined by CUTA 2008 Canadian Transit Fact l Book identifies the population within the builtup area ofthe municipality receiving regular transit service 400 metres from a service route The distinction is important statistically as service area population better reflects the performance of a system For this reason service area population is the basis for the per capita statistics shown in Exhibit 22 and Exhibit 23 1 Exhibit 21 through Exhibit 26 graphically illustrates a number of transit statistical indicators These indicators provide highlevel guidance for this study as they help frame the level of investment in similarsized communities

Exhibit 210 Net Investment per Capita

Many factors impact the net investment cost per capita Total Area to support specialized transit service in a community As seen in Exhibit 210 the peer review revealed that the range

s can be significant from 305 to 931 per capita however the median value of 484 per capita provides a guide that can be followed when establishing reasonable expectations

23 Peer Review Conclusion

The peer review data and analysis of similarsized communities across Canada provides a glimpse of what the cost and demand for transit service could be in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury The exact performance of service in this area is difficult to predict however it can be surmised that service performance service efficiency and effectiveness will improve as residents embrace transit service over time

As a benchmark relative to the annual investment per capita the median value for both conventional transit and specialized transit in the 15000 to 50000 population group was 1671 and 484 per capita respectively for a total 2155 2009 value It should however be recognized that these values are for mature transit systems only

3 CURRENT TRANSIT SERVICE

Public Transit service is currently provided within Bradford West Gwillimbury BWG through GO Transit Common sense dictates that if BWG were to fund public transit service it should not duplicate service currently offered rather it should build on the service already in place

The following summarizes the GO Transit Rail and GO Transit Bus service that serves BWG and connects BWG to Newmarket and Toronto in the south and Barrie in the north

Southbound towards Newmarket Toronto Weekday AM Peak until 8 00 AM 30 minute service to Newmarket Bus Terminal Davis Drive and Eagle Street between 545 AM 745 AM with connections @ Newmarket to Aurora and Toronto 4 Toronto bound trains departing Bradford @ 604 AM 634 AM 709 AM 739 AM

Weekday Base Service One hour service beginning at 838 AM until 738 PM one additional bus at 937 PM

Weekends One hour service to Toronto beginning at 737 AM until 938 AM Roughly two hour service to Toronto between 1135 AM to 538 PM One hour service to Toronto between 538 PM and 738 PM One final bus to Toronto at 940 PM

Northbound towards Barrie Weekday AM Midday 1 hour service from Newmarket Bus Terminal Davis Drive and Eagle Street between 740 AM 500 PM with connections @ Newmarket from Aurora and Toronto

Weekday PM Peak after 5 00 PM Roughly 30 minute service headways range from 25 45 minutes from Newmarket Bus Terminal Davis Drive and Eagle Street between 528 PM 805 PM with connections @ Newmarket from Aurora and Toronto 4 Barrie bound trains arriving in Bradford @ 523 PM 553 PM 630 PM 713 PM

Weekday after 8 00 PM Three buses to Barrie from Newmarket @ 840 PM 937 PM 1135 PM One bus terminating at Bradford GO from Newmarket @ 1035 PM Service is roughly one hour between Newmarket at Bradford after 800 PM

412 Business Community TFG

There were 10 participants in the Business Community TFGs representing different sectors of the Towns economy including local industrial agricultural retail and service employers Highlights of the discussions are provided as follows Mike Disano the Towns Manager of Economic Development shared his thoughts based on j input from other businesses in the Town Businesses have found it difficult to attract employees and expand their employees without credible public transportation In the long term strong investment in public transportation will make the Town more attractive for future investment and relocation in the commercial and industrial sectors

There are five industrial commercial nodes that should be considered for connections with public transit in both the short and long term Dissette Industrial Parks Artesian Industrial Parks Reagens Industrial Park 400 Employment Lands 20142018 Holland Marsh In the short term retailers and residents have expressed improved access to the West end retailers and services such as banks supermarkets big box stores etc There are approximately four retail nodes that should be considered for connections with public transit GO Station Bridge Street Corridor Downtown Four Corners Simcoe Road and Holland Street No Frills Plaza West End Corridor

March 2012 1 6329 Town of Bradford West Ginrillimbury Transit Feasibillity Study

For some industrial businesses located on Reagan Industrial Parkway it has been a headache moving people and their vehicles to their jobs Parking lots are jammed and traffic can be an issue entering and exiting the lots during shift start and end time 3 The majority of employees in the industrial and agricultural sectors are not Bradford residents They typically reside in surrounding municipalities such as Newmarket Barrie or Vaughan this is a difficult market to serve with costeffective transit service Many employees about 20 in the industrial sector do not own a personal vehicle however they find a way to get to work via ridesharing or carpooling With the recent rise in gas prices car pooling has been a popular mode of travel for many The representatives of the industrial sector are doubtful that any transit option will be more convenient for their employees who carpool However the representative of the agricultural sector would support public transit to his work site and encourage their employees to use transit including changing shift times to accommodate transit users However it will take some time until it is accepted as a credible option to get to work Parkview Transit currently shuttles migrant workers to Towns farms The retail sector is a major Town employer that is dependent on parttime workers Many of these parttimer workers are young and do not own a personal vehicle They access their jobs via cycling walking or relying on rides The retail sector has shifted from the Towns downtown area to the western edge of the city closer to the new subdivisions Only one bank has a branch in the Downtown area While it is unlikely those in the newer subdivisions would not use transit to access the big box retail in the west end the aging population in the Towns core needs public transportation to access the services in the west end particularly those that have relocated there from the downtown Service should focus on the Holland Street Highway 88 corridor Service should be offered all day no less than one hour frequency per route with the possibility of higher service levels in AM and PM peaks Service should be offered everyday including Sundays where a significant portio7 of the a etail sector senior population go to Church Also Sunday has become very busy day in the Should explore the use of shared taxis taxi voucher system etc as part of Conceptual Designs centre be A route that serves key destinations such as the library pools recreation would beneficial to the senior and youth population Community Bus

Highlights of the discussions are provided as follows on than It was clear that the disabled community are more dependent public transportation I residents that are not mobility impaired The population is aging Businesses that were once located in the downtown were accessible however the relocation of businesses to the west end have created many problems accessing goods and services

a or ride to to Students or youth who wish to work part time must have access to vehicle get work Some parttime employees work at Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket and periodically use GO Transit but still rely on getting rides from friends or family Without strong transit links within Bradford it is not uncommon for parents to be forced to disrupt their schedules to drop off pick up their children who work parttime or have their teenage children wait a very long time to get a ride home after a shift Most postsecondary students require vehicles to get to school This has made it very difficult to attract older families ie with teenagers to move to the new subdivisions The missing link between the GO Station and the new subdivisions in the west end corridor g makes it difficult for those without vehicles to use GO Transit train or bus t A local service in the new subdivisions would likely not be used since it is mostly inhabited themselves a by young families who rely solely on private vehicles and dont envision using bus that comes every 30 minutes or longer When services and retailers left the Towns centre for the West end many who resided in the Town centre were forced to give up their jobs since they had no way to get to work Seniors and those who reside in the Towns centre are dismayed that they must walk a long distance or pay expensive taxi fares to access essential services such as banks doctor visits 1 supermarkets etc As a result many seniors take GO Transit to Newmarket or use the biweekly Parkview shuttle to access the Upper Canada Mall and avoid visiting the west end altogether thereby spending their money outside of the town High School Students must have their own transportation if they live within 3 kilometres of school ie no school bus offered While this is not an issue in the spring or fall during the wintertime it is conceivable that a bus service would be used by students if it was convenient and at the right price possible latent demand Those who live in the Towns centre would like a transit link between the Downtown and the West End this identified as apriority A connection with GO Transit should be explored as a second priority At a minimum the public would like to see transit service offered within Bradford during MondayFriday At a minimum the public would like to see transit service offered within Bradford every hour Any transit service in Bradford West Gwillimbury should be integrated with GO Transit and or York Region Transit In order to serve rural areas a service offered one or two days a week would suffice Whatever service is recommended to serve the Town it must be accessible to those who are mobility impaired After some discussion of the best practices the options of providing accessible vehicles for conventional service accessible taxis and enhancing snow clearing for safe boarding and alighting areas were supported

15 fm March 2012 1 6329 Town of Bradford West Gvvillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

There was consensus that whatever modes are selected they would be better than the current environment HDR indicated that although fixed route public transit service was the focus of tLe Transit Feasibility study the needs of the mobility impaired would be addressed

414 GO Transit York Region Transit Barrie Transit

Based on the input received to date HDR assessed best practices relative to service concepts that would be considered which included connectivity to local or nearby Transit service 3roviders namely GO Transit York Region Transit and Barrie Transit

Contact was made to each of the service providers to Inform them of the study underway Determine how their services can today or in the future be integrated with a Bradford Transit service Assess whether or not it would make sense for York Region Transit or Barrie Transit to provide their services relative to operating the transit system

As expected all service providers would support integration of a Brantford Transit service with their systems to promote seamless public transportation either through fare integration or expansion of their services if deemed feasible for BWG Arrangements similar to otlier municipal jurisdictions exist and provide good examples to draw from

Willingness to cooperate forms the basis of the concepts that would be considered for this study

5 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND ANALYSIS

When identifying the needs and priorities for transit service it is important to get a sense how people travel today HDR quantified and confirmed these priorities by reviewing the following 1 Key Travel Destinations existing and future trip attractors generators and corridors 2 Analysis of the internal trips made within the BWG 3 A review of existing GO Transit service coverage

51 Internal Trips Analxsis

As shown in Exhibit 51 based on 2006 Transportation Tomorrow Survey TTS data the majority of BWG trips begin and end in the Town in the AM Peak Period This is the case through the rest of a regular weekday with over 26000 internal trips occurring between 6 AM and 10 PM Four categories for Trip Purpose were considered Homebased 3Work Homebased School 4 Homebased Discretionary Nonhome based

53 Conclusion

The transportation demand analysis above is consistent with the findings of the stake colder consultations and the following priorities for transit service can be established Goods and services are dispersed throughout the Town with heavy concentration in the West End along the Holland Street Highway 88 Work trips within the town are usually completed by private vehicles There is a considerable number of discretionary trips eg personal appointments shopping etc made within the town by the seniors population during the midday and late afternoon at the same time the number of auto passenger trips is considerably higher during these periods highlighting a possible mobility issue for the Towns aging population The student aged population is reliant on rides from friends and or family to access schools afterschool activities or parttime jobs Where possible connections with GO Transit should be considered and implemented the existing GO Transit schedule allows for this possibility

6 CONCEPTUAL SERVICE DESIGN

Based on the policy framework guided by stakeholder input a number route and service concepts were developed for shortlisting purposes Conceptual design consisted of preparing a preliminary route map and service plan and estimating the ridership These preliminary concepts are prefaced by a brief description of the transit routes service level and the appropriate vehicles to deliver the service

61 Service Concepts and Vehicles

The following section briefly describes alternative service concepts that can be applied in isolation or as a family of services

611 Fixed Route Conventional Transit Service

Conventional Transit is the most common public transportation service operated in towns and cities where buses operate along a fixed route that follows a public timetable Service is generally provided along main roadways where key destinations are located Routes tend to be as direct as possible to minimize travel time and therefore be more competitive with the automobile for the work and school trip Buses are generally heavyduty in design and range in size from 95 in 30ft 107 in 35ft to 122 in 40ft conventional transit buses but the most common is a 122 in 40ft bus York Region Transit predominantly operates the heavyduty conventional transit buses fi

Since the early 1990s most new transit buses are of the lowfloor design By eliminating interior steps in the doorways low floor buses makes access easier and faster for all passengers reduces passenger tripping and falling accidents and eliminates the need for a lift for the boarding and alighting of passengers using mobility devices

In summary Conventional Transit Service has the following characteristics Wheelchair accessible buses Fixed routes and reliable schedules Service tends to be more frequent during the peak periods Designed for peak passenger loads to accommodate the work and school trip and are able to accommodate typical offpeak service with less frequent service for other trip purposes such as shopping leisure medical and personal business Two side doors to accommodate boardings and alightings simultaneously

Recommendation Conventional Transit service to be considered in the future

21 7C March 2012 6329 it Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

612 Fixed Route Community Bus Service

Community bus service is a form of fixed route service that addresses the travel and mobility needs of senior citizens as well as accommodating other citizens Community bus rortes are designed to link major origins and destinations for nonworkbased such as trips linking seniors residences shopping centres recreational facilities and medical buildings Unlike Conventional Transit community bus routes can more easily use lowertier roadways and access major building entrances to minimize walking distances for passengers

The driver is trained to provide boarding and alighting assistance to passengers Interior seating is often configured in rows rather than around the perimeter of the vehicle which mElkes it easier for people to have conversations and to socialize Having the seats close together also provides for more hand holds when moving down the aisle

Routes are generally indirect with longer average travel times and less frequent than conventional transit as is appropriate to a passenger market for whom directness of travel and frequency of service are not important Service frequencies tend to be less than Conventional Transit typically provided on an hourly basis or even every two hours Community buses usually operate at offpeak periods and sometimes replace a Conventional Transit route in larger systems during that time A smaller Conventional Transit vehicle can be used as a community bus to service areas eg seniors centres where a larger vehicle would have difficulty accessing however total operating cost savings are marginal when compared to conventional transit vehicles

Recommendation Fixed Route Community Bus to be further investigated for implementation

613 FixedRoute SharedRide Taxi Service

Fixed Route SharedRide Taxi service can be employed in areas of low demand that is where Conventional Transit service is not warranted The taxi usually a van follows a fixed route and schedule stopping only at designated bus stops Passengers board the taxi pay the normal transit fare and can be issued transfers by request In essence a taxi is used in place of a bus The significant benefit is that the cost of service is a fraction of the cost of Conventional Transit taxi operators would be compensated based on their hourly rate and time driven A minimum guarantee makes this option attractive to the taxi operator Sharedride taxis are used in conjunction with Conventional Transit fixed routes as an interim solution until Conventional Transit service is warranted No dedicated dispatch service is required for this option Since taxis would not offer a doorto service sharedride taxi is not viewed as competing with regular taxis

Recommendation Fixed Route Sharedride Taxi to be further investigated for implementation

22 L 1J March 2012 1 6329 i

Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

614 DemandResponsive DialaRide Service

DialaRide Service is a demandresponsive doorto service whereby residents call into a dispatch centre or driver cell phone to request service A van or small bus is then sent to pick them up For regular trips ie daily weekly etc service can be arranged on a reservation basis so that the customer is not required to continuously call Service can be completely in response to requests or can be structured to operate on a frequency basis eg every hour In that case the requester is given the next available time the vehicle can arrive to pick him or her up and an approximate arrival time at destination Similar to a fixed route sharedride taxi a DialARide s customer would be able to transfer to a Conventional Transit route if necessary to complete a long trip On the return trip the process is the same where the customer is also required to call and request the trip

DialaRide Service is generally used in place of Conventional Transit in areas where population is sparse and demand for service is low The need to request each trip and wait for the next available time can make it less convenient for the customer however this is offset by the convenience of doorto service especially during inclement weather DialaRide may either compete directly with the taxi industry or be offered using taxi vehicles Costs per passenger can be significantly higher than other lowcost services

Recommendation Demand Responsive DialaRide Service not be considered for at this time implementation i

615 Demand Responsive SharedRide Taxi Service

A demand responsive sharedride taxi service is a hybrid solution that mixes aspects of the fixed route sharedride taxi service and the demand responsive dialaride service Like the dialaride service customers call the dispatch centre to request service and a vehicle will be sent to pick j them up at a negotiated location and time along or close to a predetermined route However based on other requests the dispatcher will direct the operator to pick up other passengers if i feasible I This concept delivers a compromise between the convenience of the dialaride service and the efficiency of a sharedride taxi service It is an ideal service for connecting residents in difficult to serve areas with conventional trunk routes or long distance specialty services such as commuter rail

Recommendation Demand Responsive Shared Ride Taxi Service should be further investigated for implementation I 616 Car and Vanpool Options

Car and VanPool services are effective where a significant number of people in one area need transportation to another area such as a commercial business or industrial area Pooling requires matching people with similar start and end work times in close proximity to each other The rural

March 2012 1 6329 Town of Bradford West Gmrillimbury Transit Feasibillity Study nature of Bradford West Gwillimbury lends itself to car and vanpools that are organized informally

Recommendation Car and van pooling are not appropriate for implementation at this time

617 Peak Period Shuttle Services

The ability to address peoples needs to get to and from work is of paramount importance In most cities across Canada large and small service to employment areas is given pricrity special bus shuttle service is offered to match employment hours Since most work hours begin in the morning and end in the late afternoon transit systems will provide shuttle service to accommodate shift start and end times During the midday period eg 900 AM 300 PM no service is provided Peak period shuttles also known as industrial specials are often used to provide service from a Conventional Transit transfer point so that transit customers can complete their trip to work Shuttle buses are also used to serve GO Transit rail stations where demand warrants

Recommendation Peak Period Shuttle Bus Services are not appropriate for implementation at this time

and Table 61 provides a summary of the aforementioned service concepts including advantages disadvantages

62 Route Concept Options

The three service concepts recommended above in Section 61 are Fixed Route Community Bus to serve the Bradford community to lead into conventional transit service in the future

Fixed Route Shared Ride Taxi to serve Bond Head Demand Responsive Shared Ride Taxi for GO transit commuters

s These strategies were investigated for potential routes and service areas The findings are given in the foregoing

621 Bradford Community Bus Service

HDR developed five route concepts for a potential community bus service operating within the Bradford community The concept was designed keeping in mind the following guidelines that meet conventional transit route design criteria Service must connect residents with the downtown Four Corners area and the emerging retail area in the west end of town Ninety percent of the Towns residents must be within 400m of the bus route Service must integrate with GO Transit The cycle time of a single route the time to complete one roundtrip must not exceed one hour

The first three concepts Concepts 1 2 and 3 are very similar with slight variations in the service coverage area due to the geographic constraints of the town Concept 4 is envisioned to be a simple route with very frequent service along the Holland Street Highway 88 corridor serving key destinations but sacrificing the walk distance criteria for residential areas set out above Concept 5 is a hybrid of the first three concepts but some residents will need to walk further to catch a bus

All concepts provide eastwest service through the town serving major trip generators All concepts utilize the GO station in the east and the west end retail node as route terminals and serve the downtown Four Corners node Additional retail nodes in the north and east all of the Towns elementary and high schools and the Towns new library and recreation centre can be served with either Concept 1 2 3 or 5

Travel times were calculated assuming an average speed of 22 kph The assumed operating cost for this route is 70 per hour It is intended that service is offered all day between 730 AM to 700 PM Monday to Saturday during the first year of implementation As ridership grows these hours of service can be extended and Sunday service can be added

March 2012 6329 Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study

The service concepts are shown below in Exhibit 61 to Exhibit 65

Concepts 1 2 3 and 5 consist of two routes that can be served with one vehicle throLgh route interlining The result of route interlining ensures a twohour headway in each direction will be provided however concept 5 will allow for more frequent service for trips onginatinzy and destined along the Highway 88 If a second vehicle is available for use the headway can be improved to one hour

622 Bond Head Fixed Route Shared Ride Taxi Service

A fixed route shared ride service operated with a taxi vehicle preferably a van is th most cost effective way to connect the rural community of Bond Head with Bradford A taxi vehicle would pick up passengers along a fixed route within Bond Head and travel towards Bradford via Highway 88 terminating at the Bradford GO station If deemed necessary the Bradford leg of the route can incorporate the loop covered by the community bus service

It is envisioned that this service will only operate with one or two round trips a day one or two days a week to begin Its sole purpose is to provide mobility for those in Bond Head so that they can access key travel destinations with Bradford such as retail medical clinics the library and recreation centre and GO Transit bus service The service concept is shown below in Exhibit 66

623 GO Transit Demand Responsive Shared Ride Taxi Service

HDR recommends a reservation based shared ride taxi service for customers who wish to connect to and from GO Transits commuter rail services It is envisioned that customers inform a dispatcher what GO train departure they would like to meet and their pickup point The dispatcher will then take all reservations and allocate and schedule the available vehicles as necessary so that other passengers can be picked up along the way to meet the train departure The customer will then be notified of an approximate pickup time For the return tri 1 the similar process will occur The advantage of this concept is that service is only provided when needed and can be reduced or expanded as required this mitigates financial risk If last minute changes are needed the customer could phone the dispatcher and notify them of their desired change If it is feasible the dispatcher will direct the driver to pick the customer up

Should the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury decide to take the next step that is to implement Transit service the following route and service options be considered for j implementation Community Bus Concept 3 this balances maximum coverage with reasonable travel speeds GO Transit Demand Responsive Shared Ride Taxi j Demand Responsive Taxi Service to Bond Head 2 days per week

Although Concept 3 is recommended the other concepts identified in this report can still be considered In this regard the final routing selected can therefore be subject to change

The sharedride taxi service to the GO station can be determined at a later date and will be based on the demand The routes selected could mirror those of the community bus route while the number of taxis required would be dependent upon the demand for each GO Transit train departure and arrival The Bond Head sharedride taxi service can also be adjusted based on demand

7 SERVICE AND FINANCIAL PLAN

71 Five Year Service Plan

hours and so The purpose of a service plan is to identify the span of service revenue ridership that an estimated budget can be developed As seen in Table 71 the service plan shows a gradual and phased approach to service growth

711 Ridership Revenue Cost Ratio Assumptions

For budgeting purposes it will be important to be conservative when estimating ridership revenue and the cost to provide the service Revenue is derived from the fare box and eventually from advertising revenues for bus benches and shelters Fare box revenue is the product of price average fare and demand ridership For the purposes of this study the average fare is assumed to be 2

As Bradfords transit system matures over time it is anticipated there will be growth in ridership and the systems cost recovery which is measured by the Revenue Cost RC ratio Rather than project potential ridership and then calculate the RC ratio for the service a more sound methodology is to set a target for the RC ratio for each horizon year and determine the required ridership based on assumed service projections and the target RC ratio

E By setting conservative targets based on the RC recovery rather than ridership the Town will be able to make less risky decisions as it pertains to expansion on a yearto basis throughout the length of the service plan If the overall RIC ratio exceeds the set target by a large amount for can be the year expansion can be accelerated or if targets are not met service expansion deferred

The target RC ratios for the horizon years are Year 1 10 Year 2 15 Year 3 20 Year 4 25 Year 5 30

Ridership requirements are then calculated using the assumed average fare

712 GO Transit CoFare Opportunities

Certain GTA transit agencies such as York Region Transit and Durham Region Transit have a cofare agreement with GO Transit to encourage local transit access to GO services When boarding a local transit vehicle the passenger presents a valid multiride ticket or GO monthly travel This pass and deposits a reduced cash fare typically 30 of the adult cash fare for type of arrangement improves the success of any service planning to connect with GO Transit

In addition when travelling within municipal borders passengers can travel on GO Transit buses value of a upon presenting a valid ticket pass or transfer This type of fare policy increases the transit fare while presenting very little added cost for the transit agency

72 Five Year Financial Plan

721 Operating Budget

When developing transit budgets the operating costs are broken down between variable operating costs and fixed operating costs Variable operating costs are dependent on the hours and kilometres of operation while fixed operating costs are incurred regardless of the level of service provided For simplicity purposes and to be conservative a standard operating cost of 70 per hour is used for the cost calculations required for the community bus services while 40 per hour is used for the fixedroute sharedride services These values includes all variable and fixed costs including wages and benefits fuel insurance and other overhead costs Costs are subject to final negotiations with the selected service providers j i Marketing and Promotions Marketing and promotion will be important prior to and during the launch of service Costs would be incurred from the development and printing of posters newsletters flyers advertisements website information etc While the need for this trails off in future years it will still be important to maintain marketing efforts not unlike any service industry

A five year operating budget is demonstrated in Table 72

722 Capital Budget

Bus Purchases Based on the service plan above BWG will require a small community bus approximately 92 metre 30low floor bus to provide service at cost of 200000 per bus An additional bus should be purchased as a spare vehicle unless a service contractor selected has proper spare vehicles available By Year 3 a second bus will need to be operated to meet service rowth projections

A budget of 400000 to purchase 2 buses is required if capital from current municipal budgets is used Alternatively the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury may elect to debenture the purchase over a period of 5 to 7 years This would approximate 60000 80000 per year for two buses

Bus Stop Infrastructure Capital costs are required at startup to install bus stops in Bradford at an approximate cost of 500 per bus stop It is assumed that a stop will be required every 400 in along the route for approximately 50 new stops at a total cost of 50000 to BWG at startup Year 1 An additional 10000 can be allocated each year thereafter for bus shelter installation

8 TRANSIT BUSINESS MODEL

This section provides an objective review of optional business models how the service will be delivered and the delegation of responsibilities and the governance structure which addresses how service and policy decisions are made Municipal transit in North America has historically been delivered using a wide range of business models from completely private sector delivery to completely public sector Between these two extremes are several models that combine varying degrees of private and public sector participation described below

81 Business Model Options

Private Municipal Transit Under this model all capital assets overall management of the service as well as operation and maintenance of the vehicles is undertaken by the private sector Oversight and governance of the service is performed by a private sector Board The private sector also assumes all revenue risk meaning there are no public sector operating subsidies provided to the service

Delegated Private Management and Operations Maintenance Under this model the municipality owns the assets and has responsibility to provide the transit service but has chosen to delegate its management operation and maintenance of transit vehicles to a third party service provider

Public Management and Private Operations Maintenance Under this model the municipality is responsible for subsidizing all operating losses Oversight and governance is most often the responsibility of the municipal Council or a publicy appointed of Board or Commission Ownership responsibility of the assets can vary however regardless the ownership it would be reflected in the operating costs

Public Municipal Transit This is probably the most common municipal transit business model in Canada if not North America All aspects of the transit service are a public responsibility including ownership of all assets and the operation and maintenance of the transit vehicles by public sector employees

82 Industry Experience with the Privatei Sector

Private sector participation in the delivery of municipal services is most often promoted as a means to Reduce government deficits Increase efficiency Increase innovation Improve service quality Transfer appropriate risks

It is impossible to emphatically declare that municipal transit systems that employ th private fair to that the sector are inherently better or worse than those that do not It is say however completely private model in which the private sector assumes all revenue risk is not a realistic

42 FOR March 202 1 6329 Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury Transit Feasibility Study alternative in most municipalities This is because all municipal transit systems are comprised of revenues Without the a hierarchy of routes that generate different ridership levels and fare box prospect of generating a profit a completely private model is not feasible

All other private sector options in the business model continuum are feasible and quite capable of delivering municipal transit services that are both efficient and of a high quality There are relate to the some critical success factors however that need to be in place to ensure this They used to procurement process used to retain a private sector partner and the contract document implement the service

s 83 Gas Tax Funding

831 Ontario

The 2 cent per litre Gas Tax funding program made available by the Province of Ontario began in 2005 to all municipalities that operate a public transit service The allocation is based on 70 transit ridership and 30 municipal population which is reviewed annually Dedicated gas tax funds are not to exceed 75 of a municipalitys own account spending on public transportation If the local funding amount decreases so will the gas tax funding amount This is important to understand especially when starting out with a new system

For example if BWG spends 100000 on Transit the province will provide up to 75000 for a total investment of 175000 The 100000 becomes the baseline so BWG must understand that it cannot contribute less than 100K in future years and expect the 75000 funding The amount of funding is finite

To get an idea of what the Gas Tax allocation may be for BWG the Town of Brockville population 24000 which is similar to BWG received 219500 in the 20082009 funding year Since the Gas Tax program runs from October to September the gas tax is prorated depending on when service is started The October 2012 to December 2012 period would be covered in the following years funding allocation i

832 Federal Funding for Capital Investments i Recently the Federal Government of Canada legislated that its Gas Tax Fund becomes a mechanism to for works While the permanent funding help municipalities pay capital majority I of the fund has been used for engineering roadwork many municipalities such as the City of North Bays as an example have taken advantage of this revenue source to pay for transit infrastructure improvements Across Canada nearly 37 of the monies collected in the Gas Tax Fund are used for transitrelated infrastructure It is recommended that the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury consider using some of the Federal Government Gas Tax Fund to pay for transit infrastructure such as buses and bus stops i y

s The City of North Bay allocated a portion of their federal gas tax revenue to complete a downtown transit terminal in 2007 and convert their entire vehicle fleet to accessible buses by 2012 j

84 Recommended Business Model

For the fixed route transit service conventional transit buses may be required in the future however when starting out community bus type vehicles eg 92 in 30 low floor buses that can be maintained at most garages would be most appropriate for a smaller urban area Fortunately Parkview Transit has full maintenance and storage capabilities along with drivers that possess the proper licences to operate a public transit service and dispatch capabilities Parkview Transit is local so a competitive service provider is available

The service concepts recommended also requires the participation of the taxi industry a proven lowcost alternative to conventional transit services that established municipal transit systems would like to embrace but may not be able to due to potential union issues Although taxis are not costeffective for large passenger loads they can be used on an interim basis when starting out and a longterm basis for low demand service needs i

Given that BWG does not have full time staff resources or facilities to operate a transit system a business model for the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury would need the following elements An experienced partner that has Dedicated staff management accountability properly licensed and trained drivers Maintenance capabilities Availability of spare vehicles if required Dispatch service in place A partner that has a vested interest in the success of the service

Based on the aforementioned the Public Management and Private Operations Maintenance option is recommended Through a contract with a single agency where maintenance facilities fare collection and reporting capabilities administration customer service and other common operating costs are minimized through economies of scale Further the agency could be responsible for coordination with the taxi industry on behalf of Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury BWG depending on the negotiated operating agreement

E 85 Recommended Governance Structure i Given that the funding of the transit services is the responsibility of BWG BWG should have the following responsibilities I Setting policies Determining bus routes and bus stops in consultation with the service provider Determining fares Revenue risk Public accountability Service planning Meeting Accessibility for Ontarions Disability Act relative to transit services Liaison with other municipal transit systems eg GO Transit York Region Transit Barrie Transit To ensure the investment in transit is protected Bradford Transit will require a champion from within the existing staff organization The staff member would liaise with the service provider

and be the point of contact for council members and the public In terms of governance Council is ultimately responsible and as such it is suggested that Bradford West Gwillimbury establish a Transit Advisory Committee or add the Transit mandate to an existing committee such as the Active Transportation Committee

86 Public Open House

Two consecutive public open houses were held at the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library on Thursday January 19 2012 Open house boards were on display for the 46pm o Den house which had 26 registered attendees and the 68pm open house which had 22 registered attendees A PowerPoint presentation was given by HDR at 430pm and 630pm followed by a question and answer period Attendees were invited to submit comments in writing at the open house or through email and fax by January 27 2012

About a third of the 47 attendees were participants of the studys Transit Focus Groups while the balance was from the general public The questions asked and SOW responses given following each presentation were recorded by BWG staff Eight written responses were handed in and six email responses were received following the open house

Input from the public varied considerably but for the most part there was clear support for the service There was some concern about the cost to the taxpayer while most others expressed that the service recommended at startup did not go far enough that is more hours of service and more buses were requested Other comments related to the routing of the buses ie to be addressed before the route is finalized more service for students and the need for a specialized service for the physically disabled Written comments as well as a summary of the questions and answers are provided in Appendix A Public Open House Input

In summary the open house was considered a success because the recommendations met many of the needs identified by the participants of the Transit Focus Groups as well as ma iy of the general public that attended The number of questions asked and the discussions that took place following each presentation were excellent and touched on all facets of the study In this regard it is recognized that transit cannot be all things to all people particularly during the recommended modest startup of service with service growth dependent on the demand The open house comments and subsequent comments received provide a good base to move forward with should Council decide to take the next steps and implement transit service

9 CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS

It is also recognized that while fixed route transit service will meet many resident needs including those with mobility constraints it does not go far enough to meet the needs of those unable to use transit services A specialized door to door transit service for those using mobility aids such as wheelchairs will need to be addressed in the future given the aging population and resulting increase in addressing special needs a It can take several years for a new transit system to mature and for residents to change travel habits Residents will not give up their cars overnight The recommendations of this report reflect the a walk before you run approach to starting a relatively low cost service and expanding service as demand increases Fortunately the Provincial dedicated gas tax can go a long way to helping transit get started and mature

If funds are approved locally it is recommended that the following next steps be undertaken Enter into discussions with the Ministry of Transportation to confirm gas tax funding amount Approach Simcoe County to help fund Transit costs Establish a Transit Committee or alternatively add the mandate to an existing committee such as the Active Transportation Committee Commence discussions negotiations with local service providers Negotiate with GO Transit York Region Transit and Barrie Transit to determine a fare integration strategy Initiate purchase of two community buses and fare collection equipment Finalize the bus route design Undertake lowcost transit marketing activities Install bus stops i Provide one month of free bus service

34 Can we contract with YRT Did look at it long way in from Holland Landing not practical Priority is to get around Bradford first Will consider fare integration

at this main 35 May need to go right into Walmart Can do if time point just showing Setbacks are a problem How avaoid streets giving some stores advantages Buses need to go to storefront Hello Mr Beck

I attended the second session of the open house on 7anuary 19 and I found it very informative However Im glad I waited to write my comments since there were a few extra points in the newspapers that I may have missed yes the Zima Room has terrible acoustics

First of all I would like to state that I am against public transit in BWG at this time Even though the population and the number of trips seem to suggest it may be feasible I do not to tax increase agree any to fund this There were some comments that for every 140000 it is 1 on the taxes and the people in the audience seemed to think that was a small price to pay However what you didnt mention was that this was isolated from all the other costs the Town would have to factor into their budget I would rather see an extra 1 go towards our rebuilding aging infrastructure than to a small transit system that may or may not be used more people use roads turn on their tap and flushwater down the drain Add onto that increases to the water and wastewater rates and theres a sizable tax increase in our future

In all the to fairness people invited the transit workshops were people who would use public transit and their views on acceptable tax increases were biased I would be interested to see the to a response tax increase due to public transit from a proper cross section of town residents not just groups interested in it

I also get the impression that some people are eager to get this going j What i dont believe they understand is this small system is not convenient and after they have to wait 20 minutes for a bus or ride it for 20 minutes to get to the store they would rather hire a taxi to travel where they want when they want I just cant see people using a system that isnt convenient Thats why I believe most families have more than one or two vehicles not out of necessity but for convenience

There was another comment made that people may not want to walk across a to Walmart parking lot get to a store from the bus but they would walk up to 400m to get to the bus I think this is another point about convenience how far would a person walk to catch a bus

So although I will accept that the numbers seem to be there I cannot accept that the people will ride the bus I am not agreeable to a small system at this time but perhaps in a few once years development has peaked and the stores are all built there will be a greater demand and a more convenient system can be put in place Until then money could be set aside to fund a future transit system so the cost to the taxpayer is minimized at startup

if However Council decides to go ahead with this premature idea I would ask that along with the that goals need to be met before extra service is added you include the minimum level of ridership and revenue required to make this type of system feasible the point below which council and staff would have to look at what is going wrong and make adjustments

I look forward to final I your report usually dont take the opportunity to comment on issues to do with the town but I think Ive been a resident long enough that I should start I wish there were avenues other than just waiting for public open houses I would like to remain since I am anonymous also a Town employee and my opinions if known could start

quite a discussion in the office so if my name appears in the header or anywhere I would appreciate it if you could remove it

Thank you Y

I I 20 January 2012

Dear Debbie Korolnek

I am pleased the Town is looking into some kind of public transit for BWG residents

As a volunteer driver for the Red Cross over several years I became aware of many of the problems nondrivers in Bradford face trying to get around Most of the non4rivers I met have fixed incomes so the cost of getting around is also an issue Although most are seniors I also met young people that have medical conditions that prevent them fom being able to have a drivers license Plus just talking with many friends and neighbours we have discussed the need of a public transit system

I have attended the public meetings a focus group listened to concerns from residents and listened to the solutions proposed

You have asked for feedback

From the presentation yesterday I see you are trying to address the needs of students seniors nondrivers in general one car families and handicapped people

Use of Taxis I believe a subsidized taxi system would be a useful way to start It seems to me it would also help identify the needs of the residents 1 heard Mr Beck use the term shared use of taxis 2 3 4 persons at a time Although this would work in some cases there are other times service for just one person neds to be met Most people with mobility problems whether it be bad knees a student on crutches or someone with lung or heart problems that cannot walk far a door to door service is needed as they cannot walk to and from a bus stop Also if taxi use is going to be available for those living out in the township I would think the chances of getting more than one person to share the ride is less likely I understand making decisions would be difficult as to who would qualify for door to door service Perhaps this is a separate issue and does not fall under BWG Transit

I know CHATS is providing door to door service for seniors for a fee of course If CHATS only serves seniors other younger nondrivers with mobility issues still need to get around If the Town is going to leave CHATS to provide this door to door service perhaps in the future some kind of agreement can be made to provide some financial relief to dose using this service Such as being able to purchase a number of rides a month for El fee something like 56 rides a month for 2000 and the Town subsidize the provider whether it be CHATS or a taxi i i i

Bus Routes I realize the proposed bus routes are only suggestions and your proposals are not written in stone One man at the meeting yesterday suggested alternating a trip around the subdivisions with a more express route across Holland St That made a lot of sense to me

One need that was expressed at my focus group last fall was a service to bring students with part time jobs in Newmaket home from the Bradford stop from Newmarket because it is a long walk at night If the BWG bus only runs until 7 pm obviously this need would not be met when retail stores close at 9 pm

In summary it is my opinion start with subsidized taxi service wherever possible start with a smaller bus as indicated by Mr Beck shared taxi use has limitations and provision should be made for one person andor door to door service if needed for residents of both Bradford and the Township

I should point out to you that although I lived in WG Township for over 40 years and have been involved with many groups over the years this past December I moved to Innisfil Twp so I am no longer a resident of BWG I

Yours truly

2010 Annual Conference of the Rightsizing Transit What Is A Reasonable Level of Transportation Association of Canada Transit Investment

g ABSTRACT z

In recent years the Canadian Urban Transit Association CUTA has successfully brought public transit to the forefront of elected officials at all levels the planning industry and the Transportation Association of Canada TAC We are beginning to realize that there are quantifiable economic and environmental business cases to increase transit investment that following many years of financial neglect resulted in transit fleets being modernized and i expanded and committing to invest billions of dollars in transit infrastructure

The larger urban centres across Canada from Halifax to Victoria have mature public transportation systems and an infrastructure in place that serves a diverse market is relatively well understood They provide service 7 days a week 18 hours a day giving people mode i choice They provide or are assessing higherorder transit such as Bus Rapid Transit BRT BRTlite Light Rail Transit Commuter Rail and Subway More important the larger urban centres have the appropriate staffing levels and budgets to research the answers Unfortunately the hundreds of smaller municipalities across Canada are not blessed with similar resources

Smaller communities are less fortunate since growth tends to be limited or transit just isnt that well understood however this is changing There is a latent demand that is rearing its head and many smaller cities communities and rural areas are now facing issues that require either increasing transit investments or investing in transit for the first time

For municipalities that have the smaller transit systems typical questions being asked are E Why should we expand transit service

For municipalities that do not have public transit typical questions being asked are Why should we even get into the game if everyone drives How many people will use transit What type of bus should we buy How do we start a service Who will run it How do we get Council buyin t

The purpose of this paper is to provide a high level understanding so that at the end of the day those with have little or no understanding of the transit business will have a framework to follow when questions are being asked about transit or you are looking at taking the next steps

11 Transit in Canada

Across Canada cities and towns are identifying public transit as a vital component to not only their transportation but economic and environmental strategic plans Over the last decade collectively Canadas transit systems have been increasing their investment Exhibit 1 in transit service to match population growth Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3 and as a result the investments have been rewarded with an increase in transit ridership Exhibit 4 which is reaching historical highs

It is widely understood that these trends in ridership service and investment are driven by the larger urban centres however there is a significant and large number of transit systems in Canada in municipalities with populations up to 100000 which represents 431Yi of transit systems that report statistics to the Canadian Urban Transit Association

For smaller municipalities with some transit or no transit at all knowing their market is important There are essentially two captive markets the physically and cognitively disabled that require specialized transit also known as paratransit while the other captive market consists of residents that can drive but do not have access to a car as eitlier driver or is the choice transit user where passenger to get from A to B The noncaptive market

conventional transit exists and as such they have the option to drive or take a bus if the bus takes them where they want to go and when they want to go It is the choice user market that has the greatest growth potential and within this group are students and young adults that a transit mindset is needed

The specialized transit market is accommodated in a number of ways that range from volunteer transportation to fully funded notforprofit or municipally owned and operated accessible transit services The services are either the only form of public transportation offered in the municipality or they are in place to complement conventional transit service Since specialized transit has a client base whose very health and existence depends on getting to medical and other appointments service and funding is provided by communities either through volunteers grants such as those from service clubs and other funding drives and in many cases municipal contributions

We know from living in our own communities that specialized transit vehicles come in many forms high floor buses 2228 that have seating and wheelchair positions accessible vans and taxis and volunteer vehicles which can vary More recently lowfloor wheelchair accessible buses that range in sizes up to 30 feet or more are being introduced these vehicles can serve both specialized and conventional transit markets and were introduced to North America in the early 1990s x Each year the demand for specialized transit service is growing and virtually every council is dealing with it This should not be a surprise the population is aging and the demographers have been telling us that for many years

The graph in Error Reference source not foundError Reference source not found shows Canadas growing senior population from 1981 to 2026 as per Statistics Canadas publication A Portrait of Seniors in Canada

To help illustrate the need to address the impact seniors are having on public transportation two case examples are presented to provide real life examples of the role specialized transit plays or can play if it is not currently offered

121 Case 1

An elderly rural couple is separated because the husband must move to the nearby city to live in an assisted care facility The wife does not drive but wants to visit her husband as often as possible The 40 or more oneway cab ride into town is not affordable because she is on a fixed income She can no longer ageinplace and must leave the family home and move to the city

122 Case 2

A disabled person who is unable to secure a job requires affordable transportation so she can serve as a needed volunteer The person is on a fixed disability income but the cost to access the centre by taxi prevents her from assisting the volunteer centre as often as sh is needed Specialized transit is available and more affordable but it too is cost prohibitive The end result is that she volunteers but only when she can afford to

As the population ages those that can drive will at some point in their lives not be able to drive in the future All one needs to do is look at your own family and friends as they get older As a result municipal politicians are now dealing with funding requests that get bigger line is and bigger every year and senior staff are wondering when it will subside The bottom that the specialized transit services in the smaller and rural communities have shoe string budgets in most cases The problem will not go away it will get worse

13 Conventional Transit Market

Conventional transit which is generally provided by the 30 to 40 heavy duty buses that are to transit typical in any transit system also has financial challenges similar specialized service in the smaller communities However if there is inadequate funding the impact is less evident than the lack of specialized transit service but nonetheless the challenges are to in very real Lets look at a few real life examples put things perspective

131 Case 3

t cannot meet their work trip travel needs If they have no other transportation options they have a choice 1 they can take a taxi everyday 2 they can buy a car or 3 they can turn down the job The latter choice is not uncommon 1 i A person whos employment for example pays 10 net per hour must work approximately 15 to 20 hours per week depending on the distance to work to carry the cost of operating and owning a car This leaves little if any money left over as disposable income that could be spent within the community 1

The Canadian Automobile Association CAA has statistics available that summarizes the true cost of car ownership as illustrated in Exhibit 6 t 1 Exhibit 6 CAA 2009 Driving Costs

Affordable public transportation alters that scenario significantly providing many residents with access to job opportunities and many businesses with access to employees Further public transit will also mitigate the need for higher car ownership that is instead of requiring a second or third car households could reduce that requirement by one or more vehicles This the and improves environment adds thousands of dollars of disposable income each year for families which is important during uncertain economic times And it can be surmised that the added income would be spent locally a financial benefit to the local economy and businesses

132 Case 4

A student beginning university that lives at home is about a 20 minute drive to school but public transit is not available and they cannot afford a car The only safe and reliable transportation option they have is to buy a car If that is not affordable they are forced to

2 WHAT ARE OTHER COMMUNITIES DOING I I The costs and benefits of transit have been researched and discussed in recent papers presented to TAC CUTA Federation of Canadian Municipalities FCM and elsewhere There are economic benefits there are social benefits and there are environmental benefits Unfortunately these benefits are not well understood by the smaller and more rural communities to the extent that larger urban centres have embraced them After all there is little congestion if any and local air quality is less of a concern I

There are ways however to quickly identify the benefits of transit for the smaller community that wants to address only basic levels of transit service There is also a relatively simplified approach to determining what a reasonable level of transit investment should be One to out way is find what everyone else is doing through peer reviews

21 Peer Reviews

Peer reviews are helpful whether or not you have a municipal transit system specialized transit or system both in place today Since each municipality has its own unique characteristics the peer review must be used with caution Topography service area densities the climate local demographics and economic factors have to be considered when 1 comparing your community to others The purpose of a peer review is only to help you establish reasonable expectations

Presented in the foregoing are two peer reviews using readily available data that is consistent in its interpretation This review uses data from the same dataset used to produce the CUTA 2008 Canadian Transit Fact Book and 2008 Ontario Transit Fact Book for specialized transit A review of systems various operating financial and performance data among F with a municipalities population of up to 100000 was selected for illustration purposes t z Exhibit 7 through Exhibit 10 illustrates conventional transit trends in municipalities with populations of up to 100000 These charts show the individual performance for each transit system identified by their population and the average for systems up to 50000 and between 4 and At 50000 100000 population a high level the charts show that as cities grow the amount of service average per capita increases seen in the averages of 08 and 11 hours per capita respectively As such the average passengers per capita increases from 135 to 226 and the passengers per capita cost to provide this service from 40 to 65 per capita This suggests that the importance of public transit generally increases with population

S 2010 Annual Conference of the Rightsizing Transit What Is A Reasonable Level of Transportation Association of Canada Transit Investment i 22 Selling Transit

i The case examples illustrated at a high level explain why municipalities should get into the transit business or consider expanding what they have if they do not meet community needs However transit loses money so why invest in a losing business

to as as the Up late 1960s transit was operated by the private sector and it made money Then urban sprawl took place which resulted in each kilometre of transit service serving fewer and fewer If are a people you running business that loses money you close up shop so it made sense for the public sector to take on the financial responsibility to ensure transit stayed in business It can be surmised that since the private sector kept track of statistics for business planning purposes much of the practice carried over to the public sector I

The to Revenue Cost RC ratio the per cent of costs that are recovered by bus fares was a mainstay statistic that is still around today unfortunately Other financial information such as the deficit per hour by route and time day day ofweek etc was kept It implied that transit was not run being properly so transit officials had to justify every dollar since it was scrutinized more than say the budget needed to run a community centre Money can be saved at the municipal level if we didnt have such big transit deficits so it made sense that if we cut service and capital investment we can save money Or did it Well we all know what happened This false economic approach resulted in such significant funding cut backs that fewer people used transit road congestion and pollution became worse and it made our cities less competitive We are now playing catch up and ridership is now at historical highs l I When a smaller municipality looks at the investment in transit it must put the investment into perspective whether you are deciding to get into it for the first time or taking a closer look at what you have today While we know that the RC ratio tells us what the deficit is for what is the of other transit deficit municipal services As examples what is the deficit per kilometre of our roads the deficit per hour of our libraries and other service departments t Another I to way prefer look at it is what a noncar owner pays to support the car owner

We all pay property taxes either directly through home ownership or indirectly as renters These taxes for all pay municipal services including roads Since auto ownership is a surrogate of income it means that the lower income resident who cannot afford a car is taxes paying to support a higher income resident who owns a car Yet if there is no transit service then the higher income resident does not support the low income resident through the taxes needed to support a good level of transit service herein lies the unfairness

I think we all agree that transit has a role to play in any municipality large or small urban or rural The bottom line is what will it cost and how does one i proceed g

3 RIGHTSIZING TRANSIT A REAS014ABLE LEVEL OF INVESTMENT

it The peer reviews provided earlier are a guide to help determine what your trans system would cost and how it could be expected to perform however each municipality is different Some municipalities have conventional transit some only have specialized transit while some have both And governance structures can vary To answer the question what is a reasonable level of transit investment an approach you can look at is first determining what the orderofmagnitude costs are likely to be and to put the costs into perspective

31 Putting Public Transportation Costs into Perspective hi population centres less than 50000 the average investment per capita shown as net cost while transit in the per capita for conventional transit approximates 40 per year specialized cost is the peer group averaged 10 per capita per year for a total of 50 This annual about same as the cost for a tank of gas The point is that a little can go a long way and it can also in make your municipality competitive with others that invest adequately public transportation

311 Getting Started With a Single Bus Route

a of As an example if you are contemplating putting in a transit service and have population 15000 based on the peer group you are looking at an hourly bus service cost of approximately 80 per hour Providing 60 hours of service weekly 12 hours per weekday would cost 249600 per year Assuming a low 10 RC ratio 24960 in passenger revenues to be conservative the net annual cost would be 224640 or about 500 per capita to support the service

To put the example into perspective a typical fourway intersection that is reconstructed with a new rightturn lane could cost in the area of 100000 to 150000 or more depending on utility relocations If you have a few of them in your capital program deferring one or two 5 a week This per year could provide your residents with bus service 12 hours per day days will provide the noncar owner with the ability to access jobs or it enables a resident to save ar Or it can 8000 of disposable income per year by not having to buy that second or third help meet the needs of the aging market which is not going away in your lifetirae

a of You know your own budgets and you can probably identify number examples

32 Establishing Reasonable Expectations

are a of that are Once you have put the costs into perspective there number questions being asked by those not familiar with transit

September 2010 12 HDIR I TRANS t

2010 Annual Conference of the Rightsizing Transit What Is A Reasonable Level of Transportation Association of Canada Transit Investment

321 How many people will use transit

Regardless of the method that is applied to determine ridership in the end experiences must be drawn from other like municipalities t trips per service hour mode share etc One can use the peer review results as a starting point to estimate ridership however if transit is being introduced for the first time ridership growth does not happen overnight and it depends on how much service is introduced and what market you are after

As a rule of thumb it takes approximately a high school generation to reach reasonable ridership figures The rationale is that in a small community parents will still drive their children and young adults to appointments and events until the students realize they do not have to wait for the family car Access to jobs will be new so those seeking employment will need time And the second or third family car is not going to disappear overnight It is therefore better to be conservative to ensure projected budget deficits are not exceeded

322 What type of bus should we buy g 4 Y If a community has existing service conventional or specialized transit the fleet needs to be assessed in terms of age and condition utilization passengers per hour whether or not they are wheelchair accessible and what markets they are serving Did a service club donate the vehicle to a notforprofit agency to run an accessible seniors service In the transit vehicle supplier industry there have been recent developments that make a business case for larger wheelchair accessible vehicles with ramps that have a 710 year life which is twice the cost of smaller high floor buses with wheelchair lifts that have a 5year life The buses can carry more passengers and are more flexible than the large conventional transit buses of the larger urban areas

323 How do we start a service Who will run it

If you have a service out there now conventional transit or specialized transit it is important to build on what you have by assessing gaps and opportunities through extensive consultations with the service providers and the community stakeholders In terms of who will run the service you should first build on what you have and assess the role the private sector can play There is no sense in building a transit facility or having a full staffing complement until there is a business case to do so t

There is no one size fits all to running or starting a transit system but there are lessons learned elsewhere Regardless of the governance structure in place the transit service agency must have to the In accountability funding municipality this regard the entire process 4 requires a champion within the municipal organization that can monitor the service on behalf of the municipality This person could be from Public Works Parks and Recreation or even a qualified administrative assistant with an interest in having additional responsibility Without a champion there will be no change

324 How do we get Council buyin

This The only way to secure Council buyin is to ensure they are part of the process begins by educating them on the role conventional transit and specialized transit plays in the quality of life of the residents today and in the future In the larger communities the need for transit by businesses will be greater If the population ages and the specialized transit srvice levol budgets are not increasing residents will become more vocal at the political By nipping the issue in the bud ie providing additional funds the life of the councillor will get easier There is also the potential that a dothing approach can come at a politicd cost especially since seniors are becoming a larger portion of the population

it If you are contemplating the introduction of new service or expanding service significantly is suggested that the service is phased in over a few years based on your communitys own financial position For example if you are staring out a few dollars per capita could meet access to medical many of the more critical needs in the community today such as improving services on certain days of the week A community bus route can be operated 5 days a week a A3 12 hours a day and be expanded to 7 days 16 hours a day within few years demand increases service can be expanded as Council recognizes the benefits The wal c before you run approach to setting up or expanding transit demonstrates fiscal responsibility

In terms of governance there is a mix of examples across Canada that one can emulate in and however you need to have an understanding of what exists today your community build on it

It was announced on April 1 2009 the federal Gas Tax Transfers to support municipal infrastructure will remain beyond 2014 to provide municipalities with stable funding for longterm infrastructure priorities such as water wastewater and solid waste infastructure are in a public transit community energy systems and local roads and bridges If you position to reallocate some of the funding to support public transit this would probably be more palatable than adding to the budget

Unfortunately sustainable external transit capital and operating funding varies from province to province and it also varies between municipalities Municipal officials must Essess their exist that can into own provincial jurisdiction to determine what funding programs they tap and also investigate other funding programs at the federal level Where no provincial transit funding exists municipalities must unfortunately fend for themselves and push for provincial funding while they do

It is of paramount importance that all decisionmakers staff and Council are fully aware of of the role that transit can play in your own community in terms of addressing quality life economic and environmental issues BEFORE you present the costs which ne to be put into perspective Council needs to be in a position where they want to buy the service rather than having to be sold

4 SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS

A highlevel understanding of the conventional transit and specialized transit market was presented to assist municipal representatives that have little understanding of transit There are numerous case examples of the transportation issues and challenges faced by residents in every community across Canada whether they have a disability or not Only a few real life examples of the hundreds out there were addressed While the larger urban centres have the expertise and resources to understand and fully address transit at the political level and at budget time smaller communities do not

To assist smaller municipalities a peer review was presented to provide you with orderof magnitude comparisons that one can use to estimate what costs are likely to be and what the demand for transit service can be A brief overview of the myriad of statistics available in the transit industry today is indicative of how transit is operated as a business and why challenges are faced at budget time Budgets are struck to minimize deficits rather than maximize profits However if costs are put into perspective relative to other municipal services and capital programs transit can be viewed to be more of a longterm investment rather than a moneylosing business in trouble

One cannot be expected to be a transit expert overnight so it is important that you first possess a highlevel understanding of the service and can speak to the role public transportation plays or can play in your own community And it is hoped that transit is more understood by you today than it was yesterday

F METIS TRANSIT Service Standards

for to SURVEYS Before any new service is introduced a letter from the local council is requested support of commence of surveying the community where service is proposed are to be done Upon completion surveys to the are in favour If this the surreys results must indicate that over 60 of those that have responded surveys 60 is achieved then the process of planning of routes shall commence after meeting with the local council with information from outside sources will be used in the surveys results as well as local municipal staff No other our planning process to avoid any potential legal conflicts

ROUTE CHANGES Changes are made to each route that either have an increase of at least 5 or a decrease of 15 as determined by any combination of either passenger survey counts as requested by Service Request forms or Daily Activities Forms

SERVICE COVERAGE No route shall operate on a street that is not paved or has very sharp turns that endanger the safe operation of any transit vehicle

ROUTE LAYOUT AND PLANNING Regular routes will be established to provide direct access between point topoint locations and where possible operate on a grid system Service shall be provided along small residential streets by the Community Bus and shall meet the Regular route bus at as many locations as possible Routes shall meet to provide minimal delays for passengers requiring to transfer routes

BUS STOPS Although care is taken in the placements of stops it may be necessary to located stops away from major intersections Stops shall also be placed at locations that provide a minimal disruption in tie flow of traffic Stops will be clearly visible from a distance and provide route schedule and transit contact information

OPERATIONS Schedule Adherence service reliability is a major factor in developing increased ridership and a good public image of the system The actual ontime performance should be targeted to achieve a 95 adherence to the published schedules within a time window of 0 minutes early and 35 minutes late of the published timetables subject to traffic and weather condistions Due to the nature of routes that travel between communities those routes shall be monitored to ensure schedule adherence

PUBLIC INFORMATION AND MARKETING Comprehensive and current information on the transit services will be provided to the local municipality for distribution to the public Additionally information shall to available through Sales Agents local agencies and through electronic media Notices shall be issued at beast one month prior to events or service changes

One of the critical factors in encouraging the greater use of transit services is public information Often a major and when barrier to potential new users of the transit service is simply the knowledge of where the bus routes go the service is provided Even regular bus users often have knowledge of the one or two routes they use regularly is a lowcost but are unaware of the other services or divisions provided Improved public information siriple is a critical method of encouraging greater transit usage In addition the attitude and deportinent of the operators shall be and essential element in a successful marketing program Useful and usable comments and suggestions obtained through discussion with all staff and the public

OBJECTIVE

information with The purpose of this memorandum is to provide Council with additional respect to advancing the site preparation work to 2013 for the Tottenham WWTP which includes importing fill to the Tottenham lagoon site rather than keeping it as part of the project general contract

BACKGROUND

At the Committee of the Whole meeting on April 8 2013 Council passed the following I

Additional Information Memorandum April 15 2013 Page 2 of 3

That Report TS201304 be received

And that staff be directed to additional to t bring information the Council meeting I on April 15 2013 with respect to advancing the site preparation work to 2013 which includes importing fill to the Tottenham lagoon site rather than keeping it as part of the project general contract

COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Conestoga Rovers Associates CRA prepared a Technical Memorandum TM with respect to separating and advancing the site preparation contract for the Tottenham WWTP project Attachment 1

The TM outlines advantages and impacts of completing the site grading in advance of the main construction The TM also suggests that the Town consider providing a financial bonus or penalty to the contractor to ensure that the fill and site preparation works are complete in the 2013 construction season Town staff have reviewed this suggestion with CRA and recommend that a or financial bonus penalty not be included in the contract It is felt that it could lead to a contractor factoring an additional cost into its bid to cover a possible penalty or taking shortcuts to obtain a bonus There are so many variables such as weather that can impact the contract schedule that it may be very difficult to obtain a benefit from a bonus or penalty clause

The cost of the fill operation in 2013 would not be new or additional cost The scope of work and the associated cost would be transferred from the 2014 general contract Engineering costs will increase due to the requirement to prepare and administer a second contract however this cost will be far offset by the project advantages of two contracts and significant overall project savings

The proposed engineering cost increases are outlined in the TM and fall into three categories The first is the base engineering tasks which are additional scope for CRA that need to be This completed work is reasonably well defined and CRA has provided a firm proposal in the TM for the associated cost impact

The second is category allowances These tasks include coordination with MOENVCA as well as geotechnical materials testing The estimates provided for each allowance are conservative but reasonable will allow for They flexibility when executing the works but the assumptions are clearly stated Should the work proceed more simply than anticipated then the result would be unused allowance amounts z

The final category is for site inspection services Because of uncertainty at this time in how the selected contractor would complete the works whether in a compressed schedule or a relaxed CRA schedule has included assumptions with respect to a reasonable amount of inspection anticipated The assumptions allow for a degree of flexibility but should the work be completed in a more efficient manner any unused inspection time would not be required to be transferred i from the WWTP General Contract scope of work Likewise the contract could additional g require inspection if unforeseen circumstances arise

E d Additional Information Memorandum April 15 2013 Page 3 of 3

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION

The total estimated cost of the change in scope for engineering tasks geotechnical and material test site inspection and contract administration is 237200 plus applicable taxes

The project is funded from Development Charges and is in the approved 2013 Town Capital budget The capital sheet included as Attachment 2 shows the project cost distributed over four years With the advancement of the site preparation work overall project savings are expected however the original 2013 cost estimated will be increased Staff will report back to Council with a recommendation on awarding a fill and site preparation contract after the tenders have closed The Committee of the Whole meeting on June 3 2013 is being targeted for this report

The Town of New Tecumseth Town has retained ConestogaRovers Associates Ltd for the detailed design and construction contract tendering contract administration and construction inspection startup and commissioning for the Tottenham Wastewater Treatment Plant WWTP project The Class EA and conceptual design designated the preferred location for the new construction to occur within the limits of an existing storage lagoon Lagoon No 1 used for currently temporary storage of tertiary treatment bypassed flow The use of this lagoon for new construction requires the placement compaction and inspection of approximately 35000 m3 of fill 1 the During preliminary design stage and project information gathering it became apparent that there is a potential for both cost and overall schedule savings by separating the importing and of initial fill for placement compaction the Lagoon rather than keeping the import of fill as part of the WWTP General Contract

The advantages of completing site grading in advance of the treatment plant main construction are f E

1 early season construction start in 2014 for the main plant thereby maximizing good weather construction time which typically results in better quality of work 2 anticipated reduction to the duration of the construction of the General Contract for treatment plant construction as detailed design will proceed concurrently with the filling of Lagoon No 1 r 3 reduced cost to import materials to site and likely reduction in markup of heavycivil contractor by the main WWTP general contractor E more direct 4 interaction by the Town and Town representatives with the fill operation

IMPACT TO MAIN CONTRACT SCHEDULE

The first impact to the main contract schedule would be that this site preparation contract would be implemented over the summer of 2013 It is estimated that the lagoon preparation works draining drying movement of unsuitable bottom material would take 12 months and that the fill and compaction work will take a further 23 months

and for mobilization time it is With an anticipated contract award of May 2014 allowing likely that the initial site works would be completed by the fall 2014 which means that concrete works would then land in the winter months of 20142015 Concrete work in winter costs more due to hoarding preheating postheating and curing requirements

WWTP The second impact to the work is a potential for reduction of the length of the main civil contract since the main contract would have a greatly reduced requirement for heavy works

it The fill work at the site would need to be completed regardless of which construction contract as the is performed under whether separated under a Site Preparation Contract or part of WWTP General Contract The main additional costs to the Town for separation of thE Site Preparation works are with respect to change in engineering scope

is and the site is not filled and There is a potential risk to the Town that if the work incomplete a fi iancial ready for the main WWTP contract However this could be managed by offering date bonus to the Site Preparation contractor upon completion by a predetermined Alternatively the incentive would allow the imposition of a penalty for being late In either and for works case the precise method of contracting incentives measurement payment completed will need to be discussed and accepted by the Town prior to tendering

not to the The other risk to the Town is that if the fill placed in the Pregrading contract is up settlement quality needed for structural fill the Contractor for the main WWTP would transfer the material issues to the previous contract This can be managed by prequalification of along with the additional materials testing and inspection noted previously

ENGINEERING SCOPE TRANSFERRED FROM INITIAL PROPOSAL

f It is estimated that the amount of effort required would be approximately 103700 or the equivalent of 55 working days 25 construction months transferred from the Construction This assumes Stage that intermittent inspection would be used at a rate of 25 dayswk average rather than 5 dayswk which will be required during the WWTP General Contract

CRA further assumes that any agreed to adjustments of the inspection time whether reductions f or additions of inspection days to the combination of site preparation work or the WWTP General Contract would be subject to the general prorating approach listed in the original proposal

CRA will select the materials testing company as outlined in initial proposal for use during this and stage subsequent main WWTP construction works should the selected materials testing company prove satisfactory Please note that there will be some additional costs for materials testing that will be incurred by the Town due to the requirement for additional testing since the source material is not a designated pit but rather an active construction sites CRA estimates that the overall cost for material testing would increase by 20000430000 This would be split between the additional 15000 allowance for source testing plus some increased inspection of the and of the placement compaction fill because of the need to provide better assurances of the site conditions at the start of the main WWTP construction works with the separation of the site preparation contract

POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS

at this of the Based on the estimated quantity of fill required stage design 3035000 m3 of structural construction estimate for a typical contract for supply of this quantity acceptable fill would be 1400000 which would include loading from a pit transportation to thE site placement and compaction

reduced selectee The cost to fill and prepare the site could be significantly by sourcing a source of fill to contractors who have current excavation contracts in progress with consistent be disposed of Since the contractor performing the excavation would need to find a cisposal site the cost of the fill itself is no longer paid for by the Town

are fill will be Proper placement compaction and testing at the site critical since the incorporated into the WWTP construction and must be stable material and properly compacted However it should be noted that this placement and compaction work would be so the for these services is for the largely removed from the scope of the main contract payment most part a transferred cost rather than a new cost

with CRA estimates that the overall cost for material testing would increase by 2000030 of the site separation of the contracts because of the need to provide better assurances conditions at the start of the main WWTP construction works

then the result would be unused allowance amounts which would not have to be expended by the Town These items include Task 5 6 and 7 below i The final category is for site inspection services Because of uncertainty in how the selected contractor would complete the works whether in a compressed schedule or a relaxed schedule CRA our has included assumptions with respect to a reasonable amount of inspection anticipated The assumptions allow for a degree of flexibility but should the work be in completed an unexpectedly efficient manner any unused inspection time would not be to be transferred from required the WWTP General Contract scope of work Likewise should the contract additional for unforeseen require inspection reasons CRA expects that open discussion with the Town would follow to ensure that the quality of construction work and requirements for inspection are met at which stage additional days of inspection transferred from the WWTP General Contract could be deemed necessary by the Town

and The purpose of this report is to provide information to Council regarding the Modernizing Lottery Gaming in Ontario and to advise Council that the Town of New Tecumseth does not currently fall within an OLG gaming zone

BACKGROUND

At the March 18 2013 Council Meeting Council directed staff to make enquiries as to whether there is an opportunity to host a casino in New Tecumseth

COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The OLG is responsible for the provinces lotteries casinos and slots program Tie Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is responsible for regulating casino gaming and lottery gaming including bingo in Ontario

OLG is responsible for four resort casinos Niagara Fallsview Windsor Niagara a nd Rama 14 slots at racetrack facilities Ajax Clinton Dresden Flamboro Georgian Grand River Hanover Kawartha Mohawk Rideau Carleton Sudbury Western Fair Woodbine and Woodstock five OLG Casinos Brantford Sault Ste Marie Point Edward Thousand Islands Thunder Bay and Great Blue Heron Charity Casino along with 10000 independent lottery retailers and six eBingo sites attachment 1

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming OLG has completed a strategic business review regarding the Modernizing Lottery and Gaming in Ontario The review identifies a number of key changes that and to are required in order to meet customer needs as well as to increase revenue generation update technological requirements

Twentynine 29 distinct gaming zones have been identified by the OLG where existing or new gaming sites could be permitted to help reduce the impact of one gaming site upon another The gaming zones are divided regionally as follows Report ADMIN201307 April 15 2013 Page 2 of 3

8 gaming zones in Central Ontario C Zones 12 gaming zones in Southwestern Ontario SW Zones 4 gaming zones in Eastern Ontario E Zones 5 gaming zones in Northern Ontario N Zones i The Town of New Tecumseth is not located within a gaming zone as provided by Ontario Gaming Zone Map 1 provided as attachment 2

Ontario Regulation 8112 outlines the requirements to establish a gaming site and details the requirement for public consultation The OLG has indicated that a gaming will be in facility only located a municipality that has endorsed a resolution supporting the hosting of a gaming facility after public consultation has taken place I Before OLG can establish a new gaming site in a municipality the municipality must first Seek public input on the establishment of a gaming site I Pass a resolution supporting the establishment of the gaming site Have zoning approval for a site allow gaming to for various amenities at a gaming site such as table slots games entertainment venue hotel etc Enter into a host municipal funding agreement with OLG t As part of their modernization OLG is engaging private sector operators to run the dayto operations of facilities while the location and site designs will be overseen by the OLG but initiated built and paid for by the private sector

Gaming in Ontario has been affected by Changes in shopping patterns Advances in technology Aging demographics Declining visits from the United States American residents entering Windsor has declined 74 by r Strong Canadian dollar Increase in American border gaming facilities

Profits from lottery and gaming support health care education infrastructure Ontario Trillium L Foundation problem for Ontario gambling support amateur sports sector and Ontario First Nations horseracing

Municipalities where gaming facilities exist benefit from gaming Tourist appeal Employment I Use of local suppliers Economic development Tax revenue and host revenue

Attachment 1 of Ontario sites Map Existing Gaming u Attachment 2 Map outlining OLG Gaming Zones Attachment 3 Correspondence from Vaughan Harris EXECUTIVE SUMMARY wThere are two key reasons to transform lottery and gaming now

1 Lottery and gaming are here to stay In fact last year a total of 8 million Ontario adults 80 percert played the lottery at least once and 27 million 27 percent visited gaming sites But OLGs offering could be more modern 2 OLG contributes 17 to 2 billion in Net Profit to the Province for important public priorities but the current model could provide more value The longterm sustainability of that revenue is at risk primarily due to a business model that is not serving customers as well as it could

LOTTERY AND GAMING IN ONTARIO Lottery and gaming have been a part of Ontarios Lottery and gaming are popular forms of entertainment in entertainment and tourism industries for decades the province Almost twothirds of Ontarians over the age Lottery in Ontario began in 1975 with Wintario which of 19 have visited a casino or slots facility at least once was designed to raise money for local community projects Fully 80 percent of Ontario adults played a lottery game In September of 1994 Ontarios first casino opened in last year and about half the adult population plays lottery Windsor SlotsAtRacetracks were launched in 1998 on a regular basis

On behalf of the Ontario government OLG is responsible In 2010 the government gave OLG d rection to launch for 4 resort casinos 17 slots at racetrack facilities and internet gaming and expand charitable gaming In 5 OLG casinos Great Blue Heron Charity Casino as well charitable gaming OLG has launched a fourway as the sale of lottery products at over 10000 independent partnership between bingo halls host municipalities the lottery retailers OLG conducts and manages 6 eBingo sites Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and OLG to OLG directly employs about 7700 people and indirectly expand charitable gaming At the same time OLG was through private sector operators an additional 10000 asked to find 100 million in annual efficiencies All these people across Ontario initiatives are currently underway and are part of OLGs modernization plan

MSETH The Clerk The Council Town of New Tecumseth Administrative Centre Alliston Ontario

The Subject Of Casinos i Dear Clerk and Council

I was very sorry to learn that the town is preparing a report on the feasibility of a casino in New Tecumseth

We do not need a casino in our town and it is reprehensible that time and money is being spent on the subject

The subject of a casino has been discussed before in our town and was rejected

This town is in dire need of funding for a myriad of projects Trying to get that funding by revenue from a casino is utter folly

There are decent and honest ways to increase funds for projects in our town

Ive included a copy of a lettertotheeditor I sent to both the Herald and the Times That letter contains my further views on the subject

March 14 2013 The Editor

Misery Centres Of Ontario

I read in our local newspapers that the DeputyMayor Rick Milne is again pushing the idea of a casino in New Tecumseth

We do not need or want a casino in our town Casinos are magnets for organized crime moneylaundering and a multitude of illegal activities Just check the record of the casinos across Canada

Also if you do disregard the above casinos are the centres of misery for thousands of people who become addicted to all the games gathered under the bright lights of a casino People lose their livelihoods their possessions and their loved ones due to their gambling addiction

Only fools go to casinos and fools and money are easily parted

Do we in New Tecumseth want to be known as aftathein misery centre of Simcoe County Do we want to be known as a own that has lost all good common sense just to get a little revenue from a casino Do we want to be associated with men and women who can operate a casino without ever considering the outcome of the misery theyve created

The subject of a casino has come up before and was dismissed Our town should not be wasting administrative time and money on the subject of a casino Just say no to any idea of a casino
