We will continue working with our legislative delegation on this issue going forward. Local Legislative Activities: On April 9, Shelly Verrinder, Faye Moseley and I attended a Stand Up 4 Transportation Event in Long Beach. This event, which was conceived by current APTA Chair and incoming Metro CEO Phil Washington, was designed to focus attention on infrastructure and transit needs in the United States and encourage Congress to pass a long-term bill that can meet those needs. Hundreds of similar events held around the United States generated a significant amount of media attention on this important issue. Attendees to the event, which was held near the water in front of the Queen Mary, heard from a number of transit and elected officials. Long Beach Transit CEO Kenneth McDonald kicked things off with a rousing call to action for more transportation and transit funding. He was followed by Congressman Alan Lowenthal; Congresswoman Janice Hahn; Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia and a number of other officials who urged Congress to finally act on a funding bill that will meet the infrastructure needs of the United States. Other local legislative activities included: Staff attended a Los Angeles Current Affairs Form that featured newly- elected County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl; 2 Access staff met with Javier Hernandez, who is serving as a Transportation Deputy for County Supervisor Hilda Solis.

  • Transit Access Pass (Tap) & Rail Fare Gate Status
    Los Angeles County One Gateway Plaza 213.922.9200 Tel Metropolitan Transportation Authority Los Angeles, CA 90012-2952 213.922.9201 Fax rnetro.net 41 REVISED OPERATIONS COMMITTEE APRIL 16,2009 SUBJECT: TRANSIT ACCESS PASS (TAP) & RAIL FARE GATE STATUS ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file report on the Transit Access Pass (TAP) and Rail Fare Gate Status ISSUE TAP staff was directed to provide a regular status update of project milestones and deployment activities on the Transit Access Pass (TAP@)regional smart card. Also, with the inception of the Metro Rail Fare Gate project, staff was directed to report monthly on the progress of this project. This report serves to fulfd these requests. DISCUSSION There has been significant progress on TAP regional implementation: Municipal Operators - Culver CityBus and Santa Clarita Transit have successfully migrated their UFS systems with full TAP capabilities. Norwalk successfully installed UFS fareboxes with TAP capability on April 3. Foothill, Gardena, and Montebello are in the process of conversion between May and June, 2009. Reduced Fare TAP - Over 60,000 Senior, Disabled, and College/Vocational TAP cards have been produced and mailed to applicants. Day Pass - TAP cards, equipment, and supplies delivered to divisions for scheduled day pass conversion to TAP on March 15. At the point of writing this Board report, the conversion process has gone fairly uneventfully with the exception of card volumes requiring replenishment at bus divisions since customer education and training to re-cycle cards on subsequent usage needs further reinforcement. Metro Pass Sales Outlets - compact point of sales devices have been installed at over 400 pass sales outlets and additional devices are currently being installed at Cities and Senior Centers.

    TORRANCE BUS SERVICE RELIABILITY AND IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES A Project Presented to the Faculty of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master In Urban and Regional Planning By Jose M. Perez 2019 i SIGNATURE PAGE PROJECT: TORRANCE BUS SERVICE RELIABILITY AND IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES AUTHOR: Jose M. Perez DATE SUBMITTED: Spring 2019 Department of Urban and Regional Planning Dr. Alvaro M. Huerta Project Committee Chair Professor of Urban Planning Richard Zimmer Committee Member Lecturer of Urban Planning David Mach Senior Transportation Planner Torrance Transit i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author thanks the Torrance Transit Employees for the data they furnished and their participation in the client project, especially Senior Transportation Planner David Mach. The author would also like to thank the City of Torrance for providing information on future development and specific goals of their circulation plan. Special thanks to Dr. Alvaro M. Huerta and Professor Richard Zimmer for their help and guidance in completing the client project. i ABSTRACT A city’s transportation infrastructure directly affects the mobility of the people, goods, and services, of all who live within its’ limits. Bus transit lines are a key element of a balanced transportation system that can improve or detract from the quality of life of its’ populous. Transit networks that are poorly implemented eventually become impractical and difficult to maintain; and thus, a burden upon the city it’s meant to help. In addition the service reliability of a transit line is critical to both the transit agency and its users in order to maintain a healthy transportation system.

  • City Council Agenda Report
    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Date: January 17, 2017 TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Michael J. Egan, City Manager BY: James C. Parker, Director of Transportation Theresa Clark, Manager of Strategic Planning and Administrative Services SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT TRIENNIAL SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2017-2019 Background: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is required by Federal and State statutes to prepare a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Los Angeles County. The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) facilitates input from each municipal transit agency, including Norwalk Transit System (NTS), on its planning and financial activities for inclusion into the Los Angeles County TIP. The SRTP/TIP serves as a formal record of both Metro and NTS’ commitment to transit services/projects and are mandatory components of the federal funding process. It is the responsibility of Metro to review each municipal transit operator’s SRTP to ensure that all Federal, State and Local reporting requirements are achieved; data collection efforts are coordinated and operator budgets are consistent with funding assumptions and regional planning policies. The SRTP is NTS’s primary planning document, and is updated on a triennial basis (financial tables must be submitted annually) according to guidelines issued by Metro. It describes the organizational structure in keeping with current and planned service changes over three years. Also, descriptions of the financial and capital improvements associated with major projects/programs are included as a reference for various internal and external stakeholders. Fiscal Impact: N/A Citizens Advised: N/A City Council January 17, 2017 Authorization to Submit Triennial Short Range Transit Plan Page No.
