Community Transportation Agreement January 28, 2020 Page 1 of 96 8 d - CC County Council Meeting Date: JANUARY 28, 2020 Submitted by: CINDY HOWARD, GM FINANCE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES AND MORGAN CALVERT, DIRECTOR ITS SUBJECT: COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE OPERATOR AND SERVICE AGREEMENT BACKGROUND: On April 30, 2018, Middlesex County received a letter confirming our eligibility for funding for the Intercommunity Bus project up to $1,500,000. A letter was also received on January 30, 2019 confirming that the Government of Ontario would support the County through the advancement of the municipal stream of the Community Transportation Grant Program. The Community Transportation Grant Program Transfer Payment Agreement was received on July 4, 2019. On July 16, 2019, Middlesex County Council approved the Community Transportation Grant Program Transfer Payment Agreement for the implementation of a microtransit service connecting the communities of Thames Centre with Woodstock and London. On August 13, 2019 the Transfer Payment Agreement was signed by the Province. ANALYSIS: In accordance with section A5.1 Acquisition, of the Transfer Payment Agreement: “If the Recipient acquires goods or services, or both, with the Funds, it will: a) Do so through a process that promotes the best value for money; and b) Comply with the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010 (Ontario) including any procurement directive issued thereunder, to the extent applicable.” Middlesex County released an Expression of Interest – Middlesex County Community Transportation Project (as attached), which was used to collect and evaluate responses from service operators for the potential provision of a micro-transit service that will link January 28, 2020 Page 2 of 96 8 d - CC communities in the Municipality of Thames Centre with Woodstock and London. The micro-transit system will offer a fixed-route and fixed-schedule transit service which will provide two routes: 1) between Thames Centre and Woodstock, and 2) between Thames Centre and London. The micro-transit service will be based on a test-and-learn approach to ensure the service meets the needs of the communities in which it serves. The expression of interest was posted on various online platforms, including the County’s website, Thames Centre’s website and bids&tenders (a widely used online procurement platform). The expression of interest was also circulated to service operators who had been identified through other community transportation funded communities and their procurement opportunities. As a result of the County’s expression of interest process, Middlesex received two excellent proposals. The Evaluation Committee, which consisted of two representatives from Middlesex County and one representative from Thames Centre: Cindy Howard, GM Finance and Community Services; Morgan Calvert, Director ITS; and, Mike LeBlanc, Director of Transportation, evaluated both responses using the Rated Requirements Evaluation Criteria set out in the expression of interest procurement opportunity. Through the evaluation, the Evaluation Committee identified Voyago as the respondent who best met the evaluation criteria. Respondent Evaluation Score BTS 66.5 / 100 Voyago 92 / 100 The award resulting of the expression of interest was the ability to negotiate with Middlesex County, a potential Service Agreement for the provision of the Community Transportation micro-transit service that may be approved by Middlesex County. The Service Agreement (attached) is designed in a way to ensure ongoing evaluation, monitoring and flexibility in delivering the service and the overall service design so that Middlesex County can ensure to the best of its ability that the service continues to meet the evolving needs of the communities it serves. Voyago currently provides transit services in Woodstock, St. Thomas, and London, among others. Voyago has also been identified as the service operator for a number of Community Transportation funded communities such as: Strathroy-Caradoc, Tillsonburg, and is currently in discussions with a number of other communities. January 28, 2020 Page 3 of 96 8 d - CC Financial Impact The micro-transit service will be fully funded through the Transfer Payment Agreement between the Province of Ontario and the Corporation of the County of Middlesex. Therefore, it is the recommendation that Council approve the Community Transportation Service Agreement with Voyago, for the provision of a micro-transit service which will connect the Communities of Thames Centre, Woodstock and London. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the attached Community Transportation Service Agreement with Voyago be approved as presented, AND THAT the Warden and County Clerk be authorized to execute the Community Transportation Service Agreement.

    BUS HISTORY ASSOCIATION 2019 CONVENTION Ottawa ON and Gatineau QC – Wednesday, June 5th to Saturday, June 8th All photos by Kevin Nicol, unless otherwise indicated The Bus History Association (BHA) convention was held in Ottawa this year. It had been 16 years (2003) since the BHA held their convention there. As with the past 3 Canadian conventions (Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver), Mario Seneviratne organized a fan trip on the day before the start of the convention. Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) is one of the few remaining transit systems in Canada that still operates high floor vehicles (not including cutaways). STO, along with Coast Mountain Bus Company (Orion V suburbans), Sarnia (1 Orion V) and Cold Lake (2 Classics as back up) are the only systems that still operate the venerable buses. Their days are clearly numbered though except possibly for Vancouver where they have a few years left. STO still operates MCI Classics that formerly operated in Calgary. Bus # 9136 was chosen for the charter which is ex-Calgary # 5106. The charter started at Terrasses de la Chaudière in Gatineau. BHA members had to take regular transit to get to the start location and most rode OC Transpo route 97 from the host hotel of Hilton Garden Inn and Suites – Ottawa Airport. Upon arriving at Mackenzie King bridge, we alighted route 97 and transferred to route 44 for the ride to Gatineau. People who arrived early were able to take many photos. OC Transpo services Terrasses and one of the new Nova LFS buses arrived during our time there.

    Staff Report #1 April 25, 2018 To All Commissioners Re: Industrial Service Strategy Update Recommendation That the Commission ENDORSE the following service delivery models as options for discussion at the May 15, 2018 meeting with Industrial Service stakeholders: • Fixed Route • Trippers • Branch Route • Employment/Industrial Shuttle • On-Demand Service • Dynamic Service Delivery Options including: o First Mile / Last Mile o Micro Transit o Flex Routes o Specialized Integration o Guaranteed Ride Home o Trip Planning Integration Background At the January 25, 2017 meeting, the Commission requested a review and update of the data used to inform the Industrial Service Strategy, including an assessment of the areas where Londoners currently are unable to access employment opportunities in industrial areas via regular public transit due to gaps in either service coverage or time of day. Further, the request was to involve the London Economic Development Corporation as well as the London Chamber of Commerce in the review, noting opportunities for new delivery models may be identified, including but not limited to partnering with businesses in the area to cost-share the service delivery. The focus of the industrial service review are lands zoned industrial, which currently have transit service provided during limited times of the day or are without nearby transit service. The areas identified are: the Airport Industrial area, Sovereign Road, Veteran’s Memorial Parkway (VMP/401), Wilton Grove and Exeter/White Oaks Road. Transit services to modern industrial areas are a complex issue influenced by a number of challenges, many of which are competing in nature. The complexities and challenges associated with providing transit service to industrial areas are not limited or unique to London.
