County of Essex Transit Assessment Report Final Report March 2010 County of Essex Transit Assessment Report Final Report March 2010 Excellence in Transportation Planning Page 2 4/8/2010 ENTRA Consultants County of Essex Transit Assessment Report Executive Summary Study Objectives This study investigates the feasibility of introducing a wider range of transportation options in the County of Essex. The key objectives of this study are to define transportation needs and provide guidelines and tools for identifying and implementing specific, cost-effective, and innovative public transportation services for residents in the County of Essex. Public transit is an important component of public services in the community, benefiting not only the user, but the entire community, and fills a void for those citizens who need or want to access reliable alternative modes of transportation and will support more sustainable development for the local economy and environment. The opportunities provided by choice, access and mobility will enable everyone in the community to accomplish what is important to them, making the community stronger and more vibrant. Needs and Opportunities Through the completion of background research, online survey results, stakeholder and public consultations as well as a market analysis, it was recognized that there are limited transit services available to County residents and most County of Essex rely on their automobile for travel. Analysis of data from post-secondary and secondary school institutions and place of work information reveals an unmet need in the County for transit services to and from major educational facilities and employment areas. Lack of alternative transportation options also creates a barrier for businesses to retain employees and limits their flexibility in where they choose to locate in the region. An effective transit system will provide alternative transportation to County of Essex residents, reduce traffic congestion and capital investments on road infrastructure as well as greenhouse gas emissions and therefore support more sustainable development for the local economy and environment.

Urban Connectors: services designed to connect between urban communities in the County and the City of Windsor and its urban fringe with a primary focus to fulfill the needs of work and student commuters. ! County Connectors: services designed to provide warranted connections to and between urban communities in the County. ! Local Service: services designed to maximize coverage in the urban area and connect to County and Urban Connectors. ! Rural Services: services designed to provide connections between rural areas and the urban communities in the County, focused on providing access to necessary amenities and services. Based on projected transit demand and feedback from the public and an array of stakeholders, ENTRA developed a system concept that is consistent with the context of the County and its transportation objectives. The overall system concept presents a long-term look of what the County of Essex might expect upon full system implementation (beyond 2021). In total, the service concept includes three proposed Urban Connectors, two proposed County Connectors, and seven areas proposed for Local Service. Rural Services would operate through a system of demand responsive services based on a defined geographic area connecting the rural communities to urban areas and other transit services in the County. Urban Connectors are the likely candidates for initial implementation, as they are focusing on post-secondary school student and commuter markets and observed to have the greatest travel demand, relative to other routes and connections. Nevertheless, Page 4 4/8/2010 ENTRA Consultants these routes along with the remaining service types would be implemented only as projected ridership warrants. Development of transit services throughout the County should proceed incrementally, based on observed demand, with expansion of routes or levels of service only when ridership projections and service costs demonstrate that the performance standards will likely be met. Financial and Implementation Plan Transit services included in the system concept were prioritized based on the identified travel needs of each community, estimated performance levels, and input from the community. The proposed services could be developed in three phases. ! The initial phase of the implementation plan (2011 to 2016) proposes the introduction of three Urban Connectors from Amherstburg, Lakeshore and Leamington to Windsor and the improved operation of Local Service in urban fridge areas and Leamington. ! The second phase of the implementation (2016 to 2021) calls for improved levels of service on some Phase 1 routes and an expansion of service to new areas including two County Connectors from Amherstburg to Kingsville and from Leamington to Windsor and one additional local route in Lakeshore. ! Upon the fulfillment of a matured ridership base, it is anticipated that all services proposed in the system concept could be operated in Phase 3 (beyond 2021). Rural Services and the remaining Local Services identified in the system concept will be introduced in this phase. The proposed transit services require significant investment to fund the required equipment and infrastructure as well as ongoing operations. Based on the current financial projection, an estimated capital cost of approximately $4 million, $5.4 million and $7 million would be required for the three phases, respectively. The annual operating cost would be approximately $1.8 million, $3.4 million and $4.4 million for the periods of 2011 to 2016, 2016 to 2021 and beyond 2021, respectively. Key Strategies and Next Steps Three key strategies designed to capture key markets, provide long-term financial support and build a system incrementally are developed to bring success to the development of a transit service in the County of Essex. They are developed through an extensive public participation process and represent input from public, key stakeholders and the project steering committee.

Key next steps: ! identify the appropriate governance structure for the service ! determine resource requirements for this organization ! determine appropriate cost allocation and funding sources Incremental Implementation A comprehensive County-wide system in the County of Essex is a long-term initiative. To be sustainable, and permit the commitment to service required for success, services should grow incrementally, based on demonstrated success. Initial implementation stages must focus on key markets such as students and commuters to ensure early success. Phase 1 services identified in the report, comprising service in the urban fringe and three key corridors are the most feasible first step. Key next steps: ! consult with key market groups, especially post-secondary students and commuters for input into specific service requirements ! develop specific service plans for initial service implementation, including specific routes, schedules, destination points ! develop specific fare structures and a revenue management plan Marketing and Promotion Building support for the service is critical to its success, both during service development and following implementation. Key next steps: ! develop partnerships with customer markets, funding partners and agencies ! identify and promote specific benefits of the proposed service among potential partners, including the broad spectrum of public policy elements supported by the plan, including economic, environmental, health and mobility benefits ! build understanding and support for the required funding, based on this broad spectrum of benefits Page 6 4/8/2010 ENTRA Consultants County of Essex Transit Assessment Report Final Report Table of Contents 1.
