Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project
9.8 Date: May 25, 2021 Originator’s files: To: Chair and Members of General Committee From: Geoff Wright, P.Eng, MBA, Commissioner of Meeting date: Transportation and Works June 9, 2021 Subject Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project Recommendation 1. That the report to General Committee entitled “Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project” dated May 25, 2021 from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works be received for information. 2. That Phase 1 of the Service Integration Pilot Project recommendations for enhanced cross-boundary travel be received for information. Executive Summary The Ministry of Transportation has convened a Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table that includes representatives of all transit agencies and aims to improve connections and the customer experience for inter-municipal transit travel. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has engaged a consultant team to develop an agency-driven FSI model to present to the Provincial-Municipal Table in partnership with surrounding transit agencies including MiWay. Currently MiWay, along with several other 905 agencies, are prohibited from providing local service within City of Toronto, resulting in TTC providing duplicate service for their residents. In addition, transit fares are not integrated between the TTC and MiWay. In partnership with the TTC, the Burnhamthorpe Road corridor has been selected for a transit service integration pilot project in the near-term (targeting fall 2021). 9.8 General Committee 2021/05/25 2 Background For decades, transit service integration has been discussed and studied in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Ministry of Transportation’s newly convened Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table consists of senior representatives from transit systems within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) and the broader GO Transit service area.

A Tale of 40 Cities: a Preliminary Analysis of Equity Impacts of COVID-19 Service Adjustments Across North America July 2020 Mc
A tale of 40 cities: A preliminary analysis of equity impacts of COVID-19 service adjustments across North America James DeWeese, Leila Hawa, Hanna Demyk, Zane Davey, Anastasia Belikow, and Ahmed El-Geneidy July 2020 McGill University Abstract To cope with COVID-19 confinement measures and precipitous declines in ridership, public transport agencies across North America have made significant adjustments to their services, slashing trip frequency in many areas while increasing it in others. These adjustments, especially service cuts, appear to have disproportionately affected areas where lower income and more- vulnerable groups reside in North American Cities. This paper compares changes in service frequency across 30 U.S. and 10 Canadian cities, linking these changes to average income levels and a vulnerability index. The study highlights the wide range of service outcomes while underscoring the potential for best practices that explicitly account for vertical equity, or social justice, in their impacts when adjusting service levels. Research Question and Data Public transport ridership in North American Cities declined dramatically by the end of March 2020 as governments applied confinement measures in response to COVID-19 pandemic (Hart, 2020; Vijaya, 2020). In an industry that depends heavily on fare-box recovery to pay for operations and sometimes infrastructure loans (Verbich, Badami, & El-Geneidy, 2017), transport agencies faced major financial strains, even as the pandemic magnified their role as a critical public service, ferrying essential, often low-income, workers with limited alternatives to their jobs (Deng, Morissette, & Messacar, 2020). Public transport agencies also faced major operating difficulties due to absenteeism among operators (Hamilton Spectator, 2020) and enhanced cleaning protocols.

Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: a Review of Challenges and Opportunities for Continued Service Delivery
Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: A review of challenges and opportunities for continued service delivery By: Ellen McGowan April 2021 School of Urban and Regional Planning Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada Supervisor: Dr. Ajay Agarwal Copyright © Ellen McGowan 2021 Acknowledgements I would first like to acknowledge my supervisor, Dr. Ajay Agarwal, whose expertise was invaluable in formulating the research questions and methodology. Thank you for your support and generosity over the last two years. I would like to thank the Norman D. Wilson Fellowship for funding this research. I would also like to thank my parents and Mark for their endless encouragement. Finally, I could not have completed this report without the support of my friends at SURP. Although our time together was cut short, I’m grateful for all that first year brought us. 2 Executive Summary Background & Context The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has radically impacted public transport ridership and service provision across the country. Since the outbreak of the virus, transit agencies have had to adapt to new and rapidly evolving conditions. Many agencies modified services to reflect lower ridership levels and to ensure the safety of both riders and operators. These changes in service were guided by public health agencies, as well as major transit associations like the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) and International Association of Public Transport (UITP). Other agencies implemented precautionary measures like rear door boarding, temporary fare suspension, and reduced capacity limits to enable the safe continuity of operations. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, transit agencies are having to strike a balance between providing enough transportation options for essential travel and reducing service offerings to match the declining overall demand for mobility services.

Member Motion City Council MM22.3
Member Motion City Council Notice of Motion MM22.3 ACTION Ward: All GO Transit/Union Pearson Express-Toronto Transit Commission Discounted Fare Initiative - by Councillor Paul Ainslie, seconded by Councillor Jennifer McKelvie * Notice of this Motion has been given. * This Motion is subject to referral to the Executive Committee. A two-thirds vote is required to waive referral. Recommendations Councillor Paul Ainslie, seconded by Councillor Jennifer McKelvie, recommends that: 1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to continue the GO/Union Pearson Express- Toronto Transit Commission Discounted Fare Initiative agreement with the City of Toronto based on the terms reached and outlined in Item 2017.EX28.6, Advancing Fare Integration, adopted by City Council at its meeting on November 7, 8 and 9, 2017. Summary Fare integration between transit agencies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is an opportunity to increase transit ridership and improve affordability all residents. The Provincial funding of the GO Transit/Union Pearson Express-Toronto Transit Commission Discounted Fare Initiative expired on March 31, 2020. A $1.50 co-fare between GO Transit and the Toronto Transit Commission was introduced in 2018, funded by the Province of Ontario through Metrolinx. Demand for the program is evident from the over 4.5 million more rides than were budgeted for in 2019-20. Before the introduction of the co-fare, approximately 50,000 daily trips used a combination of GO Transit, Toronto Transit Commission and Union Pearson Express. The co-fare between GO Transit and the Toronto Transit Commission increases access to rapid transit. Approximately half of Toronto's Neighbourhood Improvement Areas have a GO Transit station nearby or within the area.

Mar 24/16 Transportation Standing Committee
Use of Accessible Transportation to Support Access-A-Bus Services Transportation Standing Committee - 2 - March 24, 2016 DISCUSSION The Access-A-Bus paratransit service is intended to transport people with mobility, sensory and/or cognitive challenges who cannot utilize conventional transit. For many users, the service is necessary to access vital services and enhance quality-of-life. Access-A-Bus Service Demand As illustrated in Table 1 below, there has been a steady increase in service demand since 2012. While additional staff and vehicles have been added to the fleet, demand has outstripped supply; clients who cannot be booked for a trip on a service day are placed on a wait list. The wait list annual totals are illustrated in Table 2. While there was a slight reduction in the annual wait list figures for 2015, this statistic is considered an aberration and the upward trend is projected to continue for follow-on years as demand continues to increase at a pace greater than service supply. 2012-2015 Trips Requested 250,000 192,519 / +3% 196,518 / +2% 200,000 186,922 / +23% 152,371 150,000 100,000 50,000 - 2012 2013 2014 2015 Table 1: Increase in Access-A-Bus Service Demand 2012-15 Access-A-Bus Annual Wait List Totals 6011 6298 6084 4249 2012 2013 2014 2015 Table 2: 2012-2015 Access-A-Bus Annual Wait List In the pursuit of a solution, additional staff and paratransit vehicles will not necessarily address the challenge. While the Access-A-Bus scheduling staff makes every attempt to batch bookings and trips for each paratransit vehicle in the most efficient way possible, the travel patterns and schedules of individual clients often require trips to destinations, local or remote, with only one or two passengers onboard; this is not an optimal use for a scarce vehicle resource of relatively large capacity.

Purpose This report provides Council with 2017 York Region Transit (YRT) ridership and overall system performance information. 3. Background Transit measures service performance in a number of ways. Revenue and operating data is generated through a variety of software that is gathered into a business intelligence system. Reports are generated and used by staff to monitor system-wide performance, as well as making operational and financial decisions. Staff also monitors service in real-time to manage the day-to-day operation. The most common service performance measures used by the transit industry include: Committee of the Whole 1 Transportation Services March 1, 2018 2017 Transit System Performance Update • Revenue ridership - the number of paying travellers using the service. • Net cost per passenger – net cost to operate a route divided by the number of travellers • On-time performance – the reliability of the service provided to the traveller. This is a key indicator for the overall success of the Operation and Maintenance contracts • Revenue-to-cost ratio – revenue collected through transit fares compared to the cost to operate service 4.
