Transportation Survey 59 DRAFT Terms of Reference for a Sarnia/Lambton Health Services Transportation Working Group Vision The Sarnia/Lambton Transportation Working Group will establish an integrated transportation system for health services in Sarnia/Lambton. The working group will strive to achieve this goal through a process that: 1. Brings together those agencies providing transportation services for medical, health, and social services in Sarnia/Lambton. 2. Unifies advertising and promotion, nature of service, fee structures, dispatching, software, fleet operations, routes, revenue/costs, client profiles (health/social) and other information that is required to provide an integrated service. 3. Builds a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of tthe transportation services in existence and requires a collaborative relationship amongst providers. 4. Identifies problems, overlaps, duplications and aany challengges or obstacles being faced both now and in the near future by the providers. 5. Examines various options or “models” for achieving an improved and integrated transportation service. 6. Proposes a model that most effectively serves the client population of Sarnia/Lambton. This includes criteria that should be met by a new service. 7. Provides a community engagement process that includes the working groups findings and stakeholder feedback. From the information gathered, the working group will rrecommend an organizational framework that achieves a more efficient and integrated transportation service for clients and patients. It will also recommend a methodology for surveying from time to time the users, stakeholders, and the public on the effectiveness of the new transportation system. Current Challenges The following highlights some of the current identified challenges: A combination of factors, including an increasing demand for health transportation, together with a limited supply of funding (respecting service accountability agreements prohibiting deficits), has resulted in health service providers limiting theiir transportation subsidies or limiting their transportation service. Changing demographics, settlement patterns, rising costs, and provincial health care policies present unprecedented challenges in the delivery of health care services. The City of Sarnia’s concern surrounding the reduction in subsidies at Lambton Elderly Outreach. There is concern that local/regional resources not assume financial responsibility for (unfunded) provincial health care policy decisions. There are limited public transportation options throughout the county. Potential redundancies and a lack of coordination have resulted in possible missed opportunities to leverage existing resources including technology, vehicles, staff, and related infrastructure. Local community service providers, such as the Kiddney Foundation’s dialysis service, have discontinued transportation services for their clients creating further demand pressures on current services. Deliverables Establish a multi-agency working group with the health transpoortation providers and the Erie St. Clair LHIN. Examine the cost structure and the subsequent fee structure for transportation services provided by health agencies (While different local agencies have different funding sources and abilities to raise revenues it is in the interest of fairness to clients, over time, to move toward more consistent client fee schedule). Examine the current inventory and utilization of current health related transportation assets. Inventory of transportation assets to include: vehicles, utilization/available capacity, eligibility, technology (scheduling, trip management, etc.), and financials. Examine the current and forecasted demand for transportation services. Examine recent reports such as the Windsor/Esssex Accessible Transportation Network report. Consideration of alternate governance and service delivery models including enhanced coordination/collaboration; brokerage - one-call, one-click; etc. Examine the opportunity for coordination of softwaare for scheeduling, dispatching, routing, vehicle utilization, and data analysis, and if necessary make a recommendation on a lead agency to purchase and manage fleet services. Innvolve the Ministry of Transportation and other local transportation providers in the process. Prepare a policy guide with emphasis on standardization of procedures, providing user friendly access, and establishing a central intake. Make recommendations on efficient and effective county-wide service delivery. Facilitatoro The Erie St. Clair LHIN will fund an external facilitator too assist with the review process. Timetable Meetings every three weeks from early February to May 2013 and monthly from May 20013 to October 2013. While the working group’s report should be available by a June 2013 timeframe, it is foreseen that the working group may become a standing body addressing ongoing transportation needs. This meeting structure would be conducive to implementation in stages of both short term and long term actions.

  • Metrobus Market Assessment and Strategic Direc Ons Study
    Metrobus Market Assessment and Strategic Direcons Study FINAL REPORT 2011 St. John’s Transportation Commission (Metrobus) 2011 Market Assessment and Strategic Directions Study – Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY STUDY PROCESS Metrobus engaged Dillon Consulting Limited to provide a Market Assessment and Strategic Directions Study for the St. John’s transit system. The need for this study was precipitated by the decline in reported transit ridership since the major service changes in 2007. Both the accuracy of ridership reporting and the integrity of the revenue collection and handling systems were reviewed. As well, a major onboard passenger survey was conducted on March 23rd, 2010 to understand the characteristics of current transit users and to probe their reactions to the recent service changes. Additional surveys were conducted with post secondary students, local businesses and the general public (through the Metrobus web site). Individual stakeholder meetings and focus groups with system personnel and transit users also contributed valuable input to the study. The current services were reviewed by an experienced team of consultants and suggestions offered for system enhancements and productivity improvements. Future transit market opportunities were identified for their potential to generate ridership growth and assessed for the resulting implications on Metrobus. Finally, the material gathered and analyzed was used to assist Metrobus management staff in updating their existing Five Year Strategic Plan for the period 2011 to 2015. KEY FINDINGS Concerning the integrity of the revenue collection and handling systems, the review indicated that there is no cause for concern. Duties are clear and separated, secure processes are in place and revenue is protected.

    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.
