  • Attachment A: FY16Q1 Status Update
    ATTACHMENT A FY16Q1 STATUS UPDATE ON RIDERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVES MARKET RESEARCH Analysis of Service to Regional Employment Centers Employment is the primary external factor influencing ridership, particularly on our rail and BRT system. Downtown LA can be considered the region’s primary Central Business District (CBD), and as such, is already well served by transit. However, Operations has identified an additional 24 employment centers throughout the region with high densities of employment, regional destinations, and activities. Once identified, ridership in these areas was compared to journey to work data to evaluate current and potential ridership. This information will assist Operations in adjusting services to better meet these employment travel demands. Social Media Research The Communications team is embarking on several efforts to better understand existing and potential new riders through social and electronic media. To better understand existing riders, Communications is partnering with the TAP team to collect rider email addresses to be matched against social media accounts to gain a deeper understanding of rider demographics. Improvements to our Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) system should also provide an opportunity to connect rider information between their TAP usage, social media information, and customer service calls. Communications is also procuring services of a social media advertising buyer tasked with identifying existing and potential riders for targeted advertisement. Using our existing email lists, social media follower information, look-a-like modeling, and third party marketing sources that create customized client lists based on a vast array of consumer information, we will be able to gain insight into the demographic and psychographic characteristics of various rider and non-rider market segments.
