Mr. Lewis announced that applications will be accepted from February 18 – March 29 for the 12th annual Public Service Bus. To be eligible, applicants must be a non-profit organization based in Orange, Osceola or Seminole County, have an operating budget for less than $1 million dollars, and proof of 501C(3) status. Eight organizations will be selected through a random drawing. The selected organizations can display a logo and / or art work on LYNX’ Public Service Bus. Over the next year, LYNX’ Public Service Bus provides the organizations free advertising throughout its service area. Mr. Lewis reported that LYNX’ ridership continues on an increasing trend. For the last three years, the highest ridership totals from the year have been broken. While the goal of 30 million was not reached in FY2012, the first quarter of FY2013 is 4% above the first quarter of last year. LYNX has its first group of gently used Articulated vehicles. Over last summer, the Board discussed the challenges of overcrowded routes and to alleviate some of the overcrowding, approved the purchase of these vehicles by utilizing reserves. By utilizing Artic vehicles, LYNX’ operations is more efficient. The Artic vehicles can accommodate almost twice as many passengers for the same operating cost. Two of the vehicles are currently being retrofitted and brought up to LYNX’ standards by the maintenance crew and anticipate the delivery of two more in May. Board Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 9 5 of 285 Due to the continued increase in ridership, LYNX’ operating revenues are outperforming the budget estimates. The fares are 112% of the budget estimates. However, the expenses for the first quarter are higher than budget due to higher than anticipated operator retirements. LYNX’ Human Resources and Operations are working to increase recruitment efforts. Staff will continue to monitor the situation to ensure overtime use stays within budget over the long term. Fuel costs are approximately 2% under budget with the average price per gallon is $3.10. This price is locked in and the budgeted cost was $3.17. The national average for fuel during the first quarter was $3.63 per gallon.
