Ridership Data Reports Jeff Dolfini from the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department said the Ridership Data Reports are updated through the month of June and July will be updated soon. He said that Sue Waetje from Valley Metro RPTA did the work. The committee raised questions regarding the methodology of getting the reports from the fareboxes and a quality control plan. Mr. Dolfini said the fareboxes are working and the data comes from the fareboxes. Nancy Steptoe from the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department said she is leading the ridership functions and has a team in place, which consists of RPTA, METRO Rail, and City of Tempe. The team is analyzing the data and working with the consultant to verify that reports are working the way they are supposed to. 3. AzTECH Proposal Scott Miller of HDR/SR Beard gave a presentation to the committee which included: ¾ AZTech System Diagram ¾ AZTech ATIS Concept ¾ Committee Questions: Why are we considering this and why now? Started this project a year ago and will provide advance traveler information. This project is detailed to consider federal grants. What are the benefits to current passengers? The system will give real time data, passenger information, and provide projected travel time for various bus routes. Will project compete with 700 Mhz project for funding? The funding is not allocated in the Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP). How will system work with existing and future services (LRT and BRT)? What about light rail participation? METRO Rail is postponing until the beginning of next year. What is the timeframe for implementation? Six months to identify the funding source and possibly 1-2 years to implement. ¾ What’s Next $50,000 is necessary to complete a detailed Concept of Operations Plan Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has invested funds for initial system concept and will provide project management services for the Concept of Operations Plan Mr. Miller said Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will be the project manager under an agreement with RPTA. The committee raised questions regarding the amount of resources needed to implement this project and regarding the scope of work having the bus routes in the 3 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) capture all the data. Mr. Miller said the project needs the City of Phoenix in order to get the Vehicle Management System (VMS) and technical support. He said the data is connected to the VMS and to the Regional Archive Data Server (RADS) and every bus route is in the system. The committee raised questions about this item going to the Board of Directors and about the funding source. Mr. Jungwirth said this item is not required to go to the Board since it is within the limits for the Executive Director to take action. He said the funding source is from Prop. 400 for ITS. IT WAS MOVED BY AL VILLAVERDE, SECONDED BY JOHN KELLEY AND UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF $50,000 FROM THE ITS/VMS TECHNOLOGY FUNDS TO COMPLETE THE PLANNING PHASE OF THE STUDY AND FORWARD TO THE TRANSIT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. 4. Management Audit Services Recommendation Jon Medwin, Procurement Manager, gave a brief overview of the Management Services Audit recommendation for a contract with Booz Allen Hamilton. He said eleven firms were solicited and only one responded. Mr. Medwin said it is important to prepare for the Prop. 400 audit. The committee raised questions regarding conducting the audit internally versus hiring a consultant, and asked about the funding source. Mr. Jungwirth said RPTA doesn’t have the staff or expertise to conduct the audit. Chris Curcio, Deputy Executive Director of Finance, said the funds are coming out of PTF under the Operations Department. The committee suggested the meeting memos include the funding source for all projects.

  • 1 | Page Date: December 7, 2017 To: Neil Mcfarlane General Manager From
    Date: December 7, 2017 To: Neil McFarlane General Manager From: Erik Van Hagen Senior Deputy General Counsel Subject: Recommendations for Administrative Resolution of Fare Evasion Citations In advance of the TriMet Board of Directors December 13 briefing, this memorandum outlines recommendations for the Board as it considers upcoming changes to fare evasion penalties based on the newly enacted administrative option for citations as provided for in HB 2777. This memorandum is intended to provide both the Board of Directors and the public an opportunity to understand the rationale for the recommendations and allow the public to offer feedback to the Board in advance of the January 24, 2018, first reading of an ordinance to adopt administrative penalties for fare evasion. SUMMARY Following extensive outreach and planning, and for the reasons outlined in greater detail below, the following four recommendations are offered as administrative penalties for adult fare evasion in the forthcoming administrative process authorized by HB 2777: 1. Fines. If paid during the ninety (90)-day stay period, the presumptive fine should be reduced to the following amounts: -First offense: $75 -Second offense: $100 -Third offense: $150 -Fourth offense and beyond: $175 (no reduction) 2. Community Service. In lieu of a fine payment, the cited party should be allowed to complete community service as follows: -First offense: 4 hours -Second offense: 7 hours -Third offense: 12 hours -Fourth offense and beyond: 15 hours 1 | Page 3. Low income/Honored Citizen Option. For those customers cited for fare evasion who: (1) are eligible for (but not enrolled in) TriMet’s Low Income Fare or Honored Citizen programs; (2) successfully enroll in the Low Income Fare or Honored Citizen program during the 90-day stay period; and (3) load a minimum of $10 on their reloadable fare card during the 90-day stay period, TriMet will reduce the citation to $0 following verification of the above.
