Valley Metro I 101 N. 1st Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85003 602.262.7433 Chair Tolmachoff said 1. Public Comment on non-agenda action items Chair Tolmachoff said our first item on the agenda is public comment. And we have one card for the joint meeting. Blue. Mr. Crowley said how y'all doing? I figure most of you were up the street for part of that ceremony. It was very nice on the TV. What I have to deal with is what you guys do and what you don't do. The last time that you gathered together it was announced, from what I understand according to Mr. Smith, with very short notice, but they did post it on the board. And I asked the people there when it got posted. They said it got posted at ten o'clock. Your meeting was at eight o'clock. You have to have it posted twenty-four hours ahead, so there was an open meeting violation. I picked up my packet for the manager's meeting on Friday. If there was that much in the works, I wish that they would have allowed me to get one and find out that you were meeting. I will be discussing that Waymo and that during the transit part because it is in the minutes. But every cent that you spend of transit money that isn't for the operation of that bus, as in the driver and the infrastructure and buses and getting routing to be what it should be throughout this whole community, I have a problem with that. And since it's not going to be twenty-four hours and seven days a week any time soon, this idea that you have to do with Waymo as a way of improving mass transit, which is supposed to be the thing to clean up the air, it's a single occupant vehicle. And that's the problem. That's why we're trying to get more people on public transit. And you're not addressing undoing that. As I've stated before, and I've got the document over there, it shows the west side, Glendale, is one of the ones in particular that you're supposed to be getting some routings that are extending like out to Litchfield and that so that the whole west side community is expanded farther than 75th and 83rd, which are the new routings. Because the west side doesn't stop there, it goes over to the other side of the White Tanks. But there is no effort by your communities to, one, get bus stops done. One-third of our stops aren't sheltered. We've had Prop 400 for how many years. Why couldn't you do all of the stops. It's an easy part of the solution that shows you're committed to transit. 2 2. Minutes Chair Tolmachoff said the next item on the agenda is the minutes of the June 21, 2018 board meeting.

  • New Staff Report Form
    MOTION NO. M2017-41 Light Rail Vehicle Wear Plate Assemblies Contract MEETING: DATE: TYPE OF ACTION: STAFF CONTACT: Operations & Administration 4/6/17 Final Action Bonnie Todd, Executive Director of Committee Operations George McGinn, Link Maintenance Manager PROPOSED ACTION Authorizes the chief executive officer to execute a contract with GGB, LLC to provide wear plate assemblies for Link light rail vehicles for a total authorized contract amount not to exceed $272,256. KEY FEATURES SUMMARY New wear plate assemblies are needed on Link light rail vehicles to reduce noise and provide a quieter, smoother ride for passengers and operators. Wear plates are positioned between the car body and the light rail vehicle wheel and motor assembly (or truck) to provide a smooth wear surface so the truck assembly can rotate freely when the car negotiates curves in the track. Current wear plates create noise when the truck rotates because of the amount of force required to turn them. As a result, Sound Transit has received complaints from customers and operators about the noise. Sound Transit has investigated multiple solutions, including testing self-lubricated wear plates offered by GGB, LLC. The wear plate assemblies being requested in this action have been tested for the past year and have been successful in reducing noise. Under this action, Sound Transit will purchase GGB self-lubricated wear plates to replace all wear plates in the fleet. BACKGROUND The wear plates were identified as a fleet defect for the initial segment fleet shortly after their delivery to Sound Transit. Kinkisharyo, the original equipment manufacturer, provided a new wear plate alternative to resolve the issue.

  • Railway Age Return of Transit Article 10-13-20
    Transit, Six Months After COVID-19: A Progress Report Written by David Peter Alan, Contributing Editor Transit is fighting its way back, after devastating decreases in ridership and revenue last spring, which necessitated severe service reductions on many lines and throughout many systems. Today, many of those systems are increasing service, both because many of the remaining riders need it, and in the hope that riders from the pre-COVID era will come back. Offices are re-opening slowly and carefully in some transit-rich cities, and many venues that historically attracted tourists (even if only for a day trip) are still shut down. Wherever it is located, transit must fight a protracted battle to remain relevant and regain some of the ground it captured during the past several decades, and then lost during the past several months. In this report, we will look at how transit providers in the US and Canada are doing, especially with respect to the amount of service they are offering. Some providers are back to offering the level of service that they offered before the virus hit. Others still offer reduced service, while some lines are still shut down completely. How is your local transit provider doing these days? Read on and find out. The Northeast: Where there is still plenty of transit, but not plenty of money to run it The Northeast is the home of three of the nation’s legacy rail systems (Boston, the New York area, and Philadelphia), a number of newer rail lines and systems, and Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (NEC) to connect most of them.
