4 HAMPTON ROADS President’s Report TRANSIT December 2018

WE VALUE OUR VETERANS!

Virginia has the fastest growing Veteran labor force in the United States with over 12,000 transitioning service members in Hampton Roads annually. In September, Hampton Roads Transit completed the training and certification requirements to become a V3-certified company.

V3 stands for Virginia Values Veterans. The Commonwealth became the first state to create an official program dedicated to improving the employment of Veterans by training employers on national best practices to recruit, hire, train and retain Veterans. Hampton Roads Transit now has the distinct privilege of being recognized as an employer of choice to our dedicated service members and their families.

To date, 38,852 Veterans have been hired under this program statewide. The V3 Progran is mostly funded through general funds apprpriated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is also in part funded through non-general funds donated by interested parties through the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation. Mark Buehlman, V3 Regional Program Manager of Hampton Roads Presented a certificate to William E. Harrell, Under the Veterans Education Transition and Employment (VETE) CEO. Mr. Harrell was Joined by Veterans Brian Smith, Rodney directorate and within the Virginia Department of Veteran Services Davis and Luis Ramos. (DVS), the V3 certification underscores our commitment to not only recruiting Veterans to our organization, but our focus on retaining such a diverse and highly-skilled workforce.

As part of our certification process, and on a quarterly basis, we will be required to report our Veteran recruitment activity to the Department of Veteran Services. I am happy to report that in the third quarter of this year, 19 percent of all our new hires were either Veterans of the Armed Forces, National Guard or Armed Forces Reserve. It is our goal to exponentially increase the number of Veterans that we add to our team. We are truly proud of this accomplishment and are excited to continue to provide opportunities to our honored service members.

Sincerely,

William E. Harrell HAMPTON ROADS Social Media Analytics TRANSIT October 1 - October 31, 2018

There were no procurements between $50K- $100K in October 2018

12 Base Year Price: $55,110.00 Provision of Magnetic Fare Contract No: 18-78368 Title: Media (Renewal) Two Option Years Price: $110,220.00

Acquisition Description: Enter into a renewal contract with a qualified Contractor to provide magnetic fare media for HRT’s public transportation services.

Background: Hampton Roads Transit utilizes various magnetic fare media, which allows riders access to HRT-provided public transportation. Magnetic fare media includes tickets for riding bus, rail, trolley, and ferry. Under the terms of this agreement, the Contractor is required to provide pre-printed and pre-encoded fare media stock according to HRT’s specifications.

Contract Approach: A Request for Quote (RFQ) was issued on September 7, 2018. Eleven (11) vendors were solicited through direct email. The solicitation was also posted to HRT’s website and eVA. The eVA Report of Vendors Notified states that 922 vendors were advised of the solicitation via email. Nine (9) vendors registered on HRT’s website to download copies of the solicitation. One (1) quote was received on October 31, 2018 from Electronic Data Magnetic, Inc. (EDM) in the amount of $168,532.50. A post-solicitation survey concluded that other firms solicited did not possess the capability to provide the requirements, such as the pre-encoding of media stock, as described in the Scope of Work (SOW). Since there was no indication that a re- solicitation to pursue more competition would have resulted in greater participation, a decision was made to enter into price negotiations with EDM.

Negotiations focused on reducing the proposed unit prices for the various fare media stock specified in the SOW. During negotiations, EDM indicated that the increase in the proposed unit prices was as a result of significant increases in the price of raw materials. As a result of the negotiations, EDM reduced its total proposed price by $3,202.50, or approximately 1.9%, to $165,330.00. The revised pricing represents an approximate 36% increase over the previous contract pricing. The previous contract was awarded in 2013 for five (5) years, with no changes in pricing over the five (5) years. Therefore, HRT staff determined that the revised pricing is deemed fair and reasonable. A contractor responsibility review performed confirmed that EDM is technically and financially capable to perform the services.

EDM, located in High Point, NC, has provided similar services to the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) in Oakland, CA; the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) in Kansas City, MO; and, Broward County Transit (BCT) in Pompano Beach, FL. EDM also provides these services to HRT satisfactorily.

The period of performance for this contract is one (1) base year with two (2) additional one-year options.

No DBE Goal was assigned for this solicitation.

Base Year Price: $55,110.00 Provision of Magnetic Fare Contract No: 18-78368 Title: Media (Renewal) Two Option Years Price: $110,220.00

Cost/Funding: This contract will be funded with operating funds.

Project Managers: Sheri Dixon, Manager of Revenue Services

Contracting Officer: Fevrier Valmond, Senior Contracts Specialist

Recommendation: It is respectfully recommended that the Commission approve the award of a contract to Electronic Data Magnetic, Inc. to provide magnetic fare media in the not-to-exceed amount of $165,330.00 over a three-year period.

Updates on meetings with Delegates David Yancey and Glenn Davis The meetings were successful since we achieved our objectives. We were able to meet with Delegates Yancey and Davis to discuss the vital role transportation plays in our lives, importance of having dedicated funding for transportation and reliable transportation. Additionally, ask their viewpoint on transportation, advice on how we can mutually work together, their background in transportation, the committees they serve, their vision now and the future. ‐ See full report attached. This report was written and compiled by Ms. Darcy Sink, the League of Women Voters, Chapter, Transportation Committee and Ms. Janice Taylor, Paratransit Advisory Committee Chair

Delegate David Yancey, 94th District 11009 Warwick Blvd., Suite 212 Newport News, VA Monday, October 8, 2018 Time: 11:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. Ended 12:22 P.M. Transit Advocates' Meeting with Members of Virginia General Assembly Attendees: ● Delegate David Yancey, 94th District Representative, Transportation Committee Member. Newport News representative for the HRTPO and HRTAC. ● Denise Johnson, HRT Transit Riders' Advisory Committee (TRAC) Chair ● Janice Taylor, HRT Paratransit Advisory Committee (PAC) Chair ● Keith Johnson, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), Manager of Paratransit ● Darcy Sink, League of Women Voters (LWV), South Hampton Roads, Transportation Committee, Team Leader and Meeting Organizer

*The meeting was originally scheduled with Del. Yancey’s Chief of Staff Gretchen Heal, but Delegate Yancey was able to host us himself.

Introductions, Attendees tell their experiences and concerns

Delegate David Yancey's Viewpoint Del. Yancey explained that he has spoken with HRT leadership. He advises more efficient bus routes that are based on ridership data to make the most of limited transit funds. The attendees explained that they and HRT are aware of that constraint and HRT is pursuing a Bus Rapid Transit option for the peninsula corridor study. Thoughts 1. Inconsistent service. His opinion they need to hone in the routes. More predictability. The Tide is not used. NSU students use it. He believes the light rail comes in second as the least used transit system in the state. And, has observed only 8-people on a train during rush hour periods. He sees it as a failed project. He elaborated light rail is also not possible on the peninsula because CSX will not share right of way. Norfolk Southern trains does not want to run next to light rail either. He suggested MARTA system. He discussed with HRT that HRT needs to create more excitement about future plans to engage riders and build a public mandate for initiatives. 2. Big challenges. This is not a traditional city. Like NYC. Never built for transportation. 3. Had cable cars. 4. Improve rail system for the Pennisula. The people here are a car dominated system. 5. Challenges for the law. Did not adjust gas tax for inflation. Thinking is take port money for transit. 6. 2012 bill 2313 - get away from gas tax to sales tax. Gas tax is regressive. Sales tax affects everyone. Internet sales tax. The thought is/was we have enough money for transportation. The decision was infrastructure is not good. Del. Yancey noted possible revisions to the “gax tax” bill (HB2313) that may impact transportation. Cultural speaking is slower here.

He also spoke of upcoming projects on interstates in the Hampton Roads Region through 2040.

7. What other forms in the future? Del. Yancey also gave a detailed explanation of the mechanics of the transportation committee, its interactions with other committees, the competing interests and projects throughout the state. I81 corridor. Port of Virginia. HRBT has to be completed 2021. 8. Container traffic competing for port funding. Savannah/Atlanta

Attendees noted that one of HRT’s main hurdles is the lack of dedicated funding that disrupts continuity of service and inhibits long range planning. They asked Del. Yancey whether a measure supporting dedicated funding for public transit would be possible in the next 5 years. Del. Yancey explained that it would be possible, but reminded attendees of the competing interests for transportation dollars and of public sentiment that heavily favors spending to support personal vehicles.

Attendees asked Del. Yancey whether he supports HRT’s study for high capacity transit on the Peninsula. He supports the measure but believes dollars are wasted on studies. The peninsula’s geography (long and narrow) only leaves only a few viable options for fixed guideway routes. A study could be done with local resources (HRT experts and city traffic engineers) instead of a few consultants who get rich off of a study to create a product that could have been produced in-house. Attendees explained that the studies (such as DEIS and EIS) are required to compete for federal dollars, to which he did not have a reply.

None of this matters if we can't figure out how to move people around. Get people to work. How do we help Sunday church people? Delegate Yancey discussed. Appropriation. Transportation budget. Split into committees. Hiccup has been the cities arguments. States perspective where are you spending money. HR Planning Committee. Everyone is aware transportation issue. He encourages us to our officials. Talk to them to see what they want and would get them to work together. He reached out to others to work out agreements.

LWV: How do we put together a deal where everyone benefits? Get localities together. Del. Yancey gave attendees a tutorial on deal making and drafting legislation. He encourages the League of Women Voters to speak with every locality in the region to identify common interests and propose phased legislation that everyone gets something out of and is thus invested in. He suggested sharing this homespun legislation at the HRTPO and posited that perhaps it will gain advocates among the electeds and city staffs. He advised us to study the various bills related to transportation and the consolidated financial statements so that we can “speak intelligently and not be fooled.” Attendees pointed out that this meeting is an example of the LWV forming a coalition with other transit advocates (TRAC and PAC) to propose transit issues to legislators. Del. Yancey also suggested that LWV remain aware of other transit initiatives in the state, such as the push to create a Roanoke Valley transportation authority which might free up transportation dollars for other areas. Long process to fix transportation What is the most immediate thing to fix? Build on immediate successes.

Del. Yancey concluded the meeting noting that he agrees that public transportation needs to be better funded and more efficient so that it is a reasonable alternative.

Delegate Glenn Davis 932 Laskin Road, Suite 100, Virginia Beach, VA. 23456 Thursday, September 27 2018 Meeting Format AGENDA Transit Advocates Meeting with Members of Virginia General Assembly I. Brief Introductions Attendees: ● Delegate Glenn Davis ● Denise Johnson, HRT Transit Riders' Advisory Committee (TRAC) Chair ● Janice Taylor, HRT Paratransit Advisory Committee (PAC) Chair ● Bertha Myrick, League of Women Voters (LWV), South Hampton Roads, Transportation Committee, Team Leader and Meeting Organizer ● Joni Baker, League of Women Voters (LWV), South Hampton Roads, Transportation Committee, Team Leader and Meeting Organizer II. Citizens tell experiences and share stories of how we move in our region  Served on Transportation Committee III. Vision for the future: Delegate Davis shared we have a transportation problem, disability and aging in place He mentioned Norfolk started flight possibility of expansion Instead of new buses; ‐ Jitney buses are used in Arizona. UBER is the future. Timeless vehicle. ‐ 0-30 mph for autonomous vehicles ‐ Autonomous buses Attendee asked, What about transportation funding to improve bus shortages now? No response. However, stated the following: ‐ As for HRT, we like to see more innovation (General consensus with also Delegates Stolle and Yancey) ‐ He opined Uber is work friendly, laptop and how to get most productive time in traveling ‐ There needs to be a discussion. Start building towards the future ‐ Accessing the vehicles, assisted for the medical needs, Medicaid pays to take client to hospital ‐ He would like to see HRT buses which are smaller where there are less people ‐ We need smaller buses that are on-time. Discussed the scale ridership. Solutions with various situations How to grow ridership? Note: Delegate Davis used the ridership report. Janice Taylor provided the May 2018 Transportation District Commission of Hampton Roads Meeting Report which contained other transit information Family members won't have to worry about their loved ones who ride the bus again, if their relatives are stranded IV. Discussed transit in the General Assembly 8 recent years - and in 2018 Delegate Glenn Davis talked about funding Statewide funding cliff. Will expire in 2019 MD defaulted Bond would have to pay for new buses 2013 - Transportation funding overhaul - have many good features, but it allows HR to use gas tax money only for road projects, not public transit of any kind. Need for dedicated funding Have to have all the region's will have to get together. - we have a hard time working together (the cities) - decision-makers don't ride the buses - each city funds Mentioned Core 20 - data driven plan - Northern VA works together Regions are strong Delegate Glenn Davis advised HRT needs a vision and in technology 2016 - Penalties For assault of transit operators - this issue was not resolved, and may come up again in 2019 2018 - Expanded governance of HRT (TDCHR) - having some legislators on the governing board of HRT (TDCHR). This issue was not resolved. 2018 - Dedicated funding for capital - Hampton Roads was left out of the transit funding bill, as all funds went to Northern Virginia, particularly Metro. 2019 - Current funding in HR does not allow long-range, strategic and regional planning. Hampton Roads still badly needs dedicated transit funding the region can count on. Made him aware of what we need ‐ High Capacity transit to Norfolk airport and Naval base (light rail expansion) ‐ Bus Rapid transit to the Peninsula - key to future connection with the southside ‐ Considering new technologies (online retailers, autonomous vehicles, ride hailing networks) and their impact on congestion IV. Concluding remarks - How can we work together ‐ Discussion ‐ *Our opinion was, Delegate Glenn is very data driven and willing to work with HRT

Delegate David Yancey, 94th District - Meeting Notes 11009 Warwick Blvd., Suite 212 Newport News, VA Monday, October 8, 2018 Time: 11:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. Ended 12:22 P .M.

Transit Advocates' Meeting with Members of Virginia General Assembly

Attendees: ● Delegate David Yancey, 94th District Representative, Transportation Committee Member. Newport News representative for the HRTPO and HRTAC. ● Denise Johnson, HRT Transit Riders' Advisory Committee (TRAC) Chair ● Janice Taylor, HRT Paratransit Advisory Committee (PAC) Chair ● Keith Johnson, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), Manager of Paratransit ● Darcy Sink, League of Women Voters (LWV), South Hampton Roads, Transportation Committee

*The meeting was originally scheduled with Del. Yancey’s Chief of Staff Gretchen Heal, but Delegate Yancey was able to host us himself.

Introductions, Attendees tell their experiences and oncerns Ms. Johnson introduced herself as a longtime transit user in Hampton Roads and noted a concern for reliable and efficient service. She departed at 7:00 am to travel from Norfolk and arrive for the 10:00 am meeting.

Ms. Taylor introduced herself as new to the area and also relatively new user to paratransit services as a recent disabled person. Although she referenced using transit in New York City. She emphasized Paratransit as a lifeline to its users independence, existence, connectivity to the outside world, to avoid isolation and for social stimulation. Paratransit and transportation is also key to a healthy community to travel to doctors appointments, therapy, dialysis, shopping (clothing and grocery) and the pharmacy to get much needed prescriptions.

Ms. Sink introduced herself a citizen who grew up in the 94th district. She would like more transportation options to support efficient movement of people and goods and to improve quality of life and connectivity between our cities. Multi-modal options are key to truly mitigating traffic congestion (highways can only be widened so far), stemming environmental impacts, and planning for future growth.

Delegate David Yancey's Viewpoint Del. Yancey explained that he has spoken with HRT leadership and advises more efficient bus routes that are based on ridership data to make the most of limited transit funds. The attendees explained that they and HRT are aware of that constraint and HRT is pursuing a Bus Rapid Transit option for the peninsula corridor study.

1. Inconsistent service, his opinion they need to hone in the routes. More predictability. The Tide is not used. NSU students use it. He believes the light rail comes in second as the least used transit system in the state. And, has observed only 8-people on a train during rush hour periods. He sees it as a failed project. He elaborated light rail is also not possible on the peninsula because CSX will not share right of way. Norfolk Southern trains does not want to run next to light rail either. He suggested MARTA system. He discussed with HRT that HRT needs to create more excitement about future plans to engage riders and and build a public mandate for initiatives. 2. Big challenges. This is not a traditional city. Like NYC. Never built for transportation. 3. Had cable cars. 4. Improve rail system for the Pennisula? No. The people here are a car dominated system. 5. Challenges for the law. Did not adjust gas tax for inflation. Thinking is take port money for transit. 6. 2012 bill 2313 - get away from gas tax to sales tax. Gas tax is regressive. Sales tax affects everyone. Internet sales tax. The thought is/was we have enough money for transportation. The decision was infrastructure is not good. Del. Yancey noted possible revisions to the “gax tax” bill (HB2313) that may impact transportation. He also expressed support for a measure to use a tax on commerce through the Port of Virginia to support infrastructure improvements that would benefit road transportation in and out of the port and in the region overall.

Del. Yancey gave an in-depth report of his work on the transportation committee particularly regarding the expansion of the I-64 Fort Eustis corridor and the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. HRTO the projects need funding. HRBT is that it has to be done to improve transportation. I64 to I664 to Outer Banks. Culturally, speaking is slower here.

He also spoke of upcoming projects on interstates in the Hampton Roads Region through 2040.

7. What other forms in the future? Del. Yancey also gave a detailed explanation of the mechanics of the transportation committee, its interactions with other committees, and the competing interests and projects throughout the state. Long Bridge. Ex. Potomac River a train bridge. Uneasy between railroad, federal government. A service a time to run through. Mandarin Hotel - train runs under an upscale hotel. He noted that the Long Bridge project in Northern Virginia will impact transportation funding. I81 corridor. Port of Virginia. HRBT has to be completed 2021. 8. Container traffic competing. Savannah/Atlantic

Attendees noted that one of HRT’s main hurdles is the lack of dedicated funding that disrupts continuity of service and inhibits long range planning. They asked Del. Yancey whether a measure supporting dedicated funding for public transit would be possible in the next 5 years. Del. Yancey explained that it would be possible, but reminded attendees of the competing interests for transportation dollars and of public sentiment that heavily favors spending to support personal vehicles.

Attendees asked Del. Yancey whether he supports HRT’s study for high capacity transit on the Peninsula. He supports the measure but believes dollars are wasted on studies. The peninsula’s geography (long and narrow) only leaves only a few viable options for fixed guideway routes. A study could be done with local resources (HRT experts and city traffic engineers) instead of a few consultants who get rich off of a study to create a product that could have been produced in-house. Attendees explained that the studies (such as DEIS and EIS) are required to compete for federal dollars, to which he did not have a reply.

None of this matters if we can't figure out how to move people around. Get people to work. How do we help Sunday church people?

Delegate Yancey discussed. Appropriation. Transportation budget. Split into committees. Hiccup has been the cities argument. States perspective where are you spending money. HR Planning Committee. Everyone is aware transportation issue. He encourages us to our officials. Talk to them to see what they want and would get them to work together...He reached out to others to work out agreements.

He spoke briefly about Project Patriot. Patriots Crossing comes out of navy yard. Nothing could done until Army Core of Engineers signs off.

LWV: How do we put together a deal where everyone benefits? Get localities together. Del. Yancey gave attendees a tutorial on deal making and drafting legislation. He noted that sometimes advocacy groups become so focused or embattled on an issue that they cannot look beyond it. He encourages the League of Women Voters to speak with every locality in the region to identify common interests and propose phased legislation that everyone gets something out of and is thus invested in. He suggested sharing this homespun legislation at the HRTPO and posited that perhaps it will gain advocates among the electeds and city staffs. He advised us to study the various bills related to transportation and the consolidated financial statements so that we can “speak intelligently and not be fooled.” Attendees pointed out that this meeting is an example of the LWV forming a coalition with other transit advocates (TRAC and PAC) to propose transit issues to legislators. Del. Yancey also suggested that LWV remain aware of other transit initiatives in the state, such as the push to create a Roanoke Valley transportation authority which might free up transportation dollars for other areas. Long process to fix transportation What is the most immediate thing to fix. Build on immediate successes.

Del. Yancey concluded the meeting noting that he agrees that public transportation needs to be better funded and more efficient so that it is a reasonable alternative.

======TRAC Report Dec, 2018

HRT’s Transit Riders Advisory Committee (TRAC) met on November 7, 2018, in Norfolk.

Mr. William Harrell, HRT President & CEO, thanked TRAC members for their service to HRT and those in need of mass transit. He stressed the need for public participation in the Transit Transformation Project and encouraged advocacy with elected officials focused on support for better quality service.

Mr. Rick Justice, Security Manager, provided an overview of HRT’s security program and initiatives. Mr. Derrick Snowden, Chief of Safety and Security attended the presentation. Upon conclusion of the presentation, Ms Helene Green, Portsmouth representative, asked if HRT provided security for customers’ vehicles parked at the Chesapeake Center shopping mall. Mr. Snowden explained that HRT has no authority for security at Chesapeake Center.

Ms Vanessa Wadsworth, ATU 1177 Vice President and bus operator asked about the adequacy of lighting at the Liberty & Seaboard Transfer Center. Mr. Derrick Snowden, Chief Safety & Security Officer said there were ongoing talks with the City of Chesapeake about that stop. On November 27th, the TRAC Chairperson was informed that the streetlights for the Liberty & Seaboard transfer center in the City of Chesapeake have been installed and activated.

Ms Wadsworth surfaced the need for lighting at the Military Circle transfer center late at night and early in the morning. On November 29th, the TRAC Chairperson was informed that HRT Engineering & Facilities will discuss the need for extended lighting with Military Circle Mall management.

Ms Alyson Swett, Norfolk representative, offered her compliments on HRT security measures.

Aside from security, Ms Kisha Brown, Portsmouth representative, said she saw an opportunity for greater mass transit in Portsmouth given the impact of the imposition of tolls on the tunnels.

Ms Green, said that although the situation did improve, some of the operators on the Route 973 were not sufficiently familiar with their route during the first few days after its startup. Ms Sherry Scott, Assistant Manager of Bus Transportation apologized for the deficiency.
