SECTION 248 TICKETS AND COLLECTIONS ........................................................................................................ 61 South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority—2017 Statutory Annual Report March 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Under the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act, TransLink is required to prepare an annual report that includes a summary of operations for the year along with a comparison to the organization’s applicable strategic, service, capital and operational plans. This 2017 Statutory Annual Report meets that requirement and includes other reporting obligations such as audited financial statements, complaints and customer satisfaction summaries. This report should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Annual Report to obtain a full understanding of the organization and the strategic platform that drives its financial and operational performance. The 2017 Annual Report will be posted on the TransLink website. TransLink’s current strategic plan, applicable to 2017, as defined by legislation, is the Update to Phase One of the 10‐Year Vision, the 2017‐2026 Investment Plan (the “Plan”) approved by the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation on July 27, 2017. This 2017 Statutory Annual Report makes reference to the first year of update to Phase One of the 10‐Year Vision which was approved in mid‐2017. Page 4 of 61 South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority—2017 Statutory Annual Report March 2018 A. OPERATIONS SUMMARY 1 Transit Service Levels The table below provides a summary of conventional transit service hours, Access Transit trips and ridership numbers while comparing 2017 actual results to the Plan. Actual Investment Plan Fav/(Unfav) % Change 2017 2017 Over Plan Conventional Transit (thousands of service hours) Conventional Bus 4,354 4,378 (24) (0.5%) Community Shuttle 617 618 (1) (0.2%) West Vancouver Conventional Bus 136 139 (3) (2.2%) SkyTrain Expo and Millennium Lines 1,335 1,336 (1) (0.1%) SkyTrain Canada Line 202 204 (2) (1.0%) SeaBus 12 12 ‐ ‐ West Coast Express 36 38 (2) (5.3%) Total Conventional Transit 6,692 6,725 (33) (0.5%) Access Transit Trips (thousands of trips) HandyDART 1,120 1,185 (65) (5.5%) Taxi Supplement 130 102 28 27.5% Total Access Transit Trips 1,250 1,287 (37) (2.9%) Ridership Ridership (millions of transit journeys) 248 242 6 2.6% Note: Ridership in this table is based on delivery of total conventional transit service hours and HandyDART Access Transit service. Conventional Transit Service Levels Conventional transit service hours were mainly consistent with the 2017 year of the Plan as a result of the successful execution of service expansion as committed to in Phase One of the 10‐Year Vision. The expansion increased the frequency and capacity on the SeaBus, Expo, Millennium and Canada Lines and added new bus routes and service hours. Access Transit Service Levels HandyDART service was severely impacted by unpredictable winter conditions during the first quarter which resulted in a lower number of trips compared to the 2017 Plan. The shortfall was partly recovered by an increase in taxi supplement trips during the year and increased service hours and demand for the remainder of 2017. Page 5 of 61 South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority—2017 Statutory Annual Report March 2018 Ridership Journeys for conventional transit service and Access Transit were 248 million and consistent with the 2017 Plan. Journeys represent a complete transit trip using Compass fare media or other proof of payment regardless of the number of transfers. The exceptional growth in Journeys is a result of improved transit service, a strong economy with low unemployment rates and higher gas prices which are influencing commuters to use more public transportation. Ridership growth continued throughout the year suggesting that the July 1, 2017 transit fare increase did not negatively impact customer behaviour. Page 6 of 61 South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority—2017 Statutory Annual Report March 2018 2 2017 Investment Plan Status Report Phase One of the 10‐Year Vision includes expanded operating and capital investments to increase transit services and to improve roads, cycling and walking infrastructure across Metro Vancouver. A status update of the Plan is provided below. Invest to Maintain and Grow the Transportation System The Plan invests in state of good repair projects, transit operations and capital projects, including walking, cycling, roads and bridges infrastructure. In addition, it helps prepare the region for future transportation investment. Invest in State of Good Repair The Enterprise Asset Management program at British Columbia Rapid Transit Company Ltd. (BCRTC) made substantial progress in 2017 through the development of a detailed implementation and resourcing plan as well as securing budget approvals to launch project implementation. Project management and change management frameworks were also developed. BCRTC conducted rail system maintenance by replacing running rail and rail pads. In addition, rail grinding was completed on the Expo and Millennium Lines. Of the 20 recommendations from the SkyTrain Independent Review, 11 were implemented and the remaining nine recommendations are at various stages of completion. The Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) Safety Management System was implemented in the Maintenance Division and is in progress in the Operations Division. Invest in Transit Operations CMBC delivered 5.1 million service hours as targeted in the Plan. Weekday peak and weekend service was improved for 23 bus routes and bus service coverage expanded

  • Cyberattack Recovery • Translink's IT Systems and Related CMBC Applications Were Taken Offline Due to a Cyberattack on Decem
    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT MARCH 25, 2021 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING Cyberattack Recovery TransLink’s IT systems and related CMBC applications were taken offline due to a cyberattack on December 1, 2020. Through December during the network disruption, all CMBC departments ran in ‘fallback mode’ with manual processes. For example: assigning Transit Operators to buses, parts order tracking and maintenance planning, capital projects approval, and activities to support Access Transit customers were all handled via phone, paper, and pen. As part of the ongoing recovery efforts, key CMBC systems have been brought back on-line and this work continues on a system priority basis. TransLink Strategic Priority: CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND PUBLIC SUPPORT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Reindeer Bus In December 2020, five additional Reindeer Buses were staged for the holidays, bringing the total to seven. One conventional bus for each depot and one Community Shuttle running out of Port Coquitlam Transit Centre spread cheer throughout the holiday season. Winter Service Changes Signage was installed across the system to notify customers about Winter Service Changes that went into effect on January 4, 2021. Bus service levels across the region were adjusted to provide more space and reliable trips on busier routes. Winter Weather Response and Readiness Transit Communications (TComm) continues to be in frequent communication with all Metro Vancouver municipalities to ensure transit routes and all priority corridors are maintained during snowy conditions. All municipalities, universities, and snow removal contractors shared their COVID-19 response and readiness plans with TComm. Information was gathered from internal and external stakeholders to create a snow removal map to identify areas where snow can be piled to mitigate stacking of buses.

Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 8:16 PM To: Mayor & Council Subject: Translink lets us down - again Are you aware that Translink has just reduced bus service to South Delta? Once again South Delta has been screwed by Translink? J ~ Their PR spin would have us believe that they are bringing service improvements - not true. <...:' w They are cutting service on 602 603 and 404 (see _~www.translink.ca/en/Schedules-and­ W M Maps/Transit-Service-ChaD.~ms - but do not look for Delta, we do not exist and are listed under ":t Richmond) . End result - people who were forced to USe Canada line when they eliminated our bus into Vancou ver now ha ve to wait even longer at Bridgeport in the afternoon for a bu s back to South Delta. Not only that but with fewer busses it is not always possible to get on the first bus, and if you can get on you are crammed in like sardines. Well done Translink - guess they actually want us to use our private vehir: !es, siilCe their private partner operator for Canada Line is rno king nruch more money than estimated. It is time that Delta Co unCil final!y said - enough is enough. We need to se e improved service to South Delta in exchange for all til e levies and ta>:e.s that they keep taking out of our pockets. Delta transportation staff have contacted TransLink to provide the rationale for the service changes.
