Beyond just the need for securement, it is important to consider the big picture when it comes to securing mobility passengers. Transit managers are specifying the Q’POD because it is helping them: Drastically lower securement times by up to 50% or improper use Keep buses on proper route schedules due to reduced dwell times Avoid invasions of their mobility passenger’s personal “space” Increase the ratio of riders requesting securement (when optional) Reduce driver frustration as well as their risk Designed by Q’Straint. of personal injury Available thru 4One. Other Q’POD Compliance with ADA Requirements So transit operators can meet Federal requirements Stabilizing Bumper Makes it almost impossible to tip a chair or scooter and eliminates the need for a 4th securement point making securement faster and keeping routes on schedule Front Tensioner Drivers can use a single hand in a simple bending motion when attaching or releasing for less intrusion on the rider’s space while assuring maximum stability Scooter Ring Eliminates the need for a fourth belt or quick strap and makes scooter reducing legal and medical costs Integrated Shoulder Belt installation by eliminating the need for wall or window bar retractor attachments For more information, visit: Qstraint.com/Qpod 676418_QStraint.indd 1 1/24/14 8:50 PM ASSOCI Message from the President A TION I NFORM A TION Dear members and friends of TTA, It is with great pleasure and responsibility that I have accepted the position as President of the Texas Transit Association . As many of you know, I occupied this position once before, from 2008 through 2010 . I am honored by the support of the Board and the opportunity to continue serving the Texas Transit Association . As I look forward to this exciting journey, I see many great opportunities and a positive future for the TTA . I believe TTA is a collaborative voice for public transportation throughout the state . I am hopeful that we can set aside any differences and work together for the common good of public transportation . Individually it can be difficult to be heard, but as a group our industry will have a much stronger voice . Even though many of us are faced with issues within our agency, we must stick together as we work through our challenges statewide . All of us have to be part of the conversation and part of the solution . We need one voice for public transportation in Texas, and the Texas Transit Association is that voice . As we move together to enhance public transportation statewide, we must remain responsible to taxpayers as we address our passengers needs . We must develop public and legislative support for public transportation statewide . Through increased collaboration we will be able to develop partnerships with other organizations, garner support and move our industry forward . Transit needs everyone to be part of the same goal in attracting choice riders . I ask you to take a step back and look at your involvement with TTA, and I challenge you to make a stronger commitment . Again, I encourage you to join this effort and become the voice of public transportation throughout Texas . John L.

  • 87Th LEGISLATIVE SESSION and COVID RESTRICTIONS On
    87th LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND COVID RESTRICTIONS On January 12, 2021, lawmakers from across the state will convene the 87th Texas Legislative Session, meeting for the Regular Session over the following 140 days through May 31. This will be the first time that all 181 legislators will come together since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is top-of-mind for everyone involved. While the Governor recently announced the re-opening of the Capitol building on January 4, we have minimal knowledge of the health and safety protocols the members, staff and Capitol visitors will have to follow when they enter the building next week. It will surely be a much different environment than previous sessions. We know the following requirements will be in place as of today, per a memo released by the State Preservation Board last week: • The Capitol building will only be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; it will be closed Saturday and Sunday for cleaning. • The public may only enter through the North Capitol entrance. • Covid testing will be encouraged and provided on the North Plaza at no expense. • A mask will be required to be worn inside the building at all times. • All deliveries to the Capitol, including food and beverage, must be left at the loading dock; no delivery personnel will be allowed beyond the loading dock or through the public entrance. • No public tours or groups or sponsored event space will be available. • The House and Senate will manage public access to their offices once convened and rules are adopted, and the public will need to check with the offices directly for specific guidelines.

  • Speed Train Service Between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston
    FOR TEXAS CENTRAL INTERNAL USE ONLY TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston An updated analysis of consumer demand and ridership FOR TEXASMARKETING CENTRAL INTERNALCONTENT USE ONLY ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Houston and North Texas has been under development since 2002. This market was chosen as the most attractive after reviewing 97 pairs of cities and their potential for commercial success. The project expects to begin construction after federal permits are granted and financial close is achieved, at the earliest the end of 2019. The train will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including an intermediary stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between the country’s fourth and fifth largest economies. These metropolitan regions collectively produce 6% of US GDP, and contain close to 50% of Texas’ population and 5% of our national population. Connecting these cities via high-speed train will not only service an existing travel market that is only increasing in size, but will create a super economy larger than that of Spain or Mexico. The location of this project is well suited in that Texas is the second largest state economy in the US and is growing at historic rates. With the sustained yearly population increase, the need for infrastructure is critical to preserve the future economic vitality of the State.

  • 16 Million People Travel Between Houston and North
    MARKETING CONTENT TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston 1 MARKETING CONTENT ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Hous- ton and North Texas has been under development for five years. The project expects to begin construction in 2018, and will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including a stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between Texas’ two largest economic hubs, using proven, world-class technology. The increased mobility between two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US made possible by the Texas Bullet Train will deliver substantial and long-lasting benefits to both the state and local economies. Texans will have a safe, productive and reliable choice for travel between Houston, the Brazos Valley and North Texas. ABOUT THE STUDY In January 2016, Texas Central appointed L.E.K. Consulting to conduct a study exploring the opportunity for a high-speed train service in Texas and the benefits it could bring to Texans. L.E.K. has developed a commercially-driven, technology-enabled forecast for passenger demand including: • Estimating the market size and growth rate for travel between the two metropolitan areas; • Undertaking primary market research with input from more than 2,000 Texans to understand local travel habits and determine the Texas Bullet Train’s potential share of the travel market; and • Building a robust and highly granular forecasting model to predict future passenger demand under a range of assumptions and different scenarios.

  • Legislative Update: New Texas Laws Affecting the Environment Or Environmental Regulation by Anthony Cavender, Amanda G
    Client Alert Environment, Land Use & Natural Resources Client Alert Environment, Land Use & Natural Resources June 12, 2013 Legislative Update: New Texas Laws Affecting the Environment or Environmental Regulation By Anthony Cavender, Amanda G. Halter and Nicholas M. Krohn This Texas legislative session brought several notable environment- and energy-related changes. The major standouts are culled and summarized in this Pillsbury Legislative Update. Txdot Authorized to Conduct NEPA Reviews of Transportation Projects The Transportation Code was amended to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to assume the duties of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) with respect to Texas transportation projects under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). TxDOT is also now authorized to enter into agreements with the USDOT to exclude certain highway projects from environmental assessment and impact statement requirements. TxDOT may adopt rules and standards for implementing these new authorities. Signed by Governor Perry and effective May 18, 2013. Bill: SB 466 Key legislators: Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (D – Dist. 20), McAllen; Sen. Robert Nichols (R – Dist. 3), Jacksonville Audit Privilege Act Immunity Extended to New Property Owners The Texas Environmental, Health, and Safety Audit Privilege Act provides that certain documents and information may be privileged when they are collected as part of an environmental self-audit of facilities regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Act also grants certain immunities from administrative and civil penalties for health and safety violations voluntarily disclosed and timely corrected. The Act currently provides these benefits only to facility owners and operators. This session’s amendment expands the reach to new owners who begin audits in connection with their pre- acquisition investigations.

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.
