  • Initial Transit Agency Outreach Summary
    Memorandum SRF No. 12758 To: Cole Hiniker, AICP Metropolitan Council From: Joseph Kapper, AICP SRF Consulting Group Date: May 20, 2020 Subject: Metropolitan Council Service Allocation Study Initial Transit Agency Outreach Summary Executive Summary Introduction One of the first tasks associated with the Service Allocation Study involved a report on existing conditions for transit service within the Minneapolis – St. Paul region. In addition to documenting the scope of transit service and socioeconomic data, the consultant team conducted outreach to each transit provider to understand the scope of their services and gain general input on the study. In March and April of 2020 several video and tele-conferences were held with individuals responsible for service monitoring, planning, and allocation at each agency. The content of each meeting included the following topics: • Offering an overview of the Service Allocation Study and gathering initial feedback on work to date and potential successful outcomes. • Transit agencies provide a summary of their current services. • How are transit operating resources allocated today? o How does the agency currently approach service allocation decisions? o What policies currently exist to guide service expansion or reduction? o Are there separate performance guidelines or goals for different types of service? • Agency planning and service development priorities. As of this memo’s completion, interviews have been conducted with Metro Transit, Minnesota Valley Transit Authority, SouthWest Transit, the City of Plymouth, Maple Grove Transit, and Metropolitan Transportation Services. Prior to each stakeholder interview, the consultant team reviewed the transit services currently offered by each agency, as well as relevant survey results, internal procedures, and long-range planning documents provided for the purposes of this study.

  • 494 North SW Prime Service Project Summary
    494 North SW Prime Service Project Summary This I-494 North SW Prime service expansion project is requesting funds for an additional 15 SW Prime vehicles and operating dollars to implement a new SW Prime microtransit service along the I-494 corridor between Eden Prairie and Maple Grove. The service that will be a hybrid of the current SW Prime service that will allow riders both departing or entering SouthWest Transit's service area to be able to book rides to and from on demand zones where rides are provided as needed without reservations, and scheduled zones where riders select the time frame in advance they want to be picked up for their rides. SouthWest Transit will seek to partner with other transit agencies along the corridor (Maple Grove Transit, Metro Transit, and Plymouth Metrolink) so that the service may be utilized by as many riders as possible. Highlights of the proposed service: • The service is an expansion of the highly successful SW Prime microtransit service which offers on demand rides to and from anywhere within the city limits of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, Chaska, Carver, and Victoria. • The service is proposing 10 electric passenger vehicles and 5 medium duty lift-equipped transit vehicles (electric if available). • The service plan calls for 13 vehicles to operate the service. • Service would mirror SW Prime service hours (Monday-Friday, 6am – 6:30pm). • The service as proposed will only service rides that originate or terminate within the proposed Eden Prairie zone of the service (The Golden Triangle and Town Center Areas of Eden Prairie), but eventually the service could be opened up to allow interzone rides across all proposed service areas.
