Adjournment Page 2 of 214 Agenda Item i) 16-24 JULY 6, 2016 REPORT TO: ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING DATE: JULY 11, 2016 SUBJECT: 2015 CAPITAL STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS RECOMMENDATION That, report FIN 16-24 regarding the 2015 Capital Statement of Operations be received, And that, all budget variances be transferred from their respective reserves. BACKGROUND The Capital Statement of Operations is attached as Schedule A summary of the 2015 capital projects by department is listed in the attached schedule. The schedule shows the cost of each project, its associated budget and funding sources. There were only a few larger budget variances during the year. Highlights of the Capital Fund for 2015 are as follows: Corporate Overall, computer equipment was over budget slightly by about $7,000. Also, a new envelope inserting machine was purchased for $13,000 due to the breakdown of the old machine. Furthermore, there were additional start up costs of approximately $63,400 for the Town Hall co-gen unit. Allof the above costs were funded from various reserves. Protection Services The majority of the Fire Department capital was within budget save and except for costs to outfit a new fire vehicle with lights and equipment. The largest costs in the Fire Capital budget were for personal protective equipment, and costs towards the development of station #2 which included the cost for the demolition of the Calder building. Transportation The Transportation capital budget was within budget in 2015 except for a couple of projects, namely the Downtown Arch which was over budget by $26,000 due to re-engineering work. Also, the LED streetlight project had some spillover costs from 2014. Overall, the LED project came in within budget ($1.45 million budget compared to $1.35 million actual). Recreation, Facilities and Culture The main Parks project in 2015 consisted of the continued construction of the Southward Community Park The completion of the Park was delayed in 2015 which is the reason for the high positive variance on the project. The park is expected to be completed in 2016.

  • CO00425 U-Pass Options for Spring and Summer Terms 2021 Report.Pdf
    U-Pass Options for Spring and Summer Terms . 2021 Recommendation That Executive Committee recommend to City Council: That a temporary exemption to City Policy C451H Edmonton Transit Service Fare Policy, for the period April 30, 2021 to August 31, 2021, to allow for fare program eligibility expansions, as outlined in the March 22, 2021, City Operations report CO00425, be approved. Executive Summary The regional Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass) provides eligible students at participating post-secondary institutions with unlimited travel on Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) and participating regional transit providers at a discounted rate for the school term. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, post-secondary institutions are continuing to deliver learning online and holding a limited number of classes and labs on campus into the spring and summer 2021 terms. Consequently, U-Pass was paused for the fall and winter terms, and that arrangement is recommended to be extended to the spring and summer terms in 2021. Effective September 2020, temporary measures were put in place to support students affected by the pause on U-Pass. These include access to the Ride Transit Program for qualifying students and an expansion of the age eligibility for youth fare products for post-secondary students as well as seniors fare products. Extending these temporary measures for the spring and summer terms would continue to address the gap for affected students. Report The regional Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass) is provided through contractual agreements between Edmonton Transit Service (ETS), St. Albert Transit, Strathcona Transit, Leduc Transit, Fort Saskatchewan Transit, and Spruce Grove Transit and four post-secondary institutions in Edmonton: University of Alberta, MacEwan University, NAIT and NorQuest College.

  • Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project
    9.8 Date: May 25, 2021 Originator’s files: To: Chair and Members of General Committee From: Geoff Wright, P.Eng, MBA, Commissioner of Meeting date: Transportation and Works June 9, 2021 Subject Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project Recommendation 1. That the report to General Committee entitled “Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project” dated May 25, 2021 from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works be received for information. 2. That Phase 1 of the Service Integration Pilot Project recommendations for enhanced cross-boundary travel be received for information. Executive Summary The Ministry of Transportation has convened a Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table that includes representatives of all transit agencies and aims to improve connections and the customer experience for inter-municipal transit travel. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has engaged a consultant team to develop an agency-driven FSI model to present to the Provincial-Municipal Table in partnership with surrounding transit agencies including MiWay. Currently MiWay, along with several other 905 agencies, are prohibited from providing local service within City of Toronto, resulting in TTC providing duplicate service for their residents. In addition, transit fares are not integrated between the TTC and MiWay. In partnership with the TTC, the Burnhamthorpe Road corridor has been selected for a transit service integration pilot project in the near-term (targeting fall 2021). 9.8 General Committee 2021/05/25 2 Background For decades, transit service integration has been discussed and studied in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Ministry of Transportation’s newly convened Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table consists of senior representatives from transit systems within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) and the broader GO Transit service area.

With its humble beginnings as a lumber town almost 140 years ago, Clarence-Rockland has matured into a beautiful city of a little over 20,000 people. Situated just 32 kilometers east of Parliament Hill and about 170 kilometers west of Montreal, the area offers both the quiet of the countryside and the urban offerings of a big city. Along with a healthy distribution of nature's splendor there's also plenty of things to keep urbanites busy. We are a fully bilingual community with a full range of churches, schools and sports facilities which offer endless choices for those who have grown accustomed to essential amenities.

  • A Tale of 40 Cities: a Preliminary Analysis of Equity Impacts of COVID-19 Service Adjustments Across North America July 2020 Mc
    A tale of 40 cities: A preliminary analysis of equity impacts of COVID-19 service adjustments across North America James DeWeese, Leila Hawa, Hanna Demyk, Zane Davey, Anastasia Belikow, and Ahmed El-Geneidy July 2020 McGill University Abstract To cope with COVID-19 confinement measures and precipitous declines in ridership, public transport agencies across North America have made significant adjustments to their services, slashing trip frequency in many areas while increasing it in others. These adjustments, especially service cuts, appear to have disproportionately affected areas where lower income and more- vulnerable groups reside in North American Cities. This paper compares changes in service frequency across 30 U.S. and 10 Canadian cities, linking these changes to average income levels and a vulnerability index. The study highlights the wide range of service outcomes while underscoring the potential for best practices that explicitly account for vertical equity, or social justice, in their impacts when adjusting service levels. Research Question and Data Public transport ridership in North American Cities declined dramatically by the end of March 2020 as governments applied confinement measures in response to COVID-19 pandemic (Hart, 2020; Vijaya, 2020). In an industry that depends heavily on fare-box recovery to pay for operations and sometimes infrastructure loans (Verbich, Badami, & El-Geneidy, 2017), transport agencies faced major financial strains, even as the pandemic magnified their role as a critical public service, ferrying essential, often low-income, workers with limited alternatives to their jobs (Deng, Morissette, & Messacar, 2020). Public transport agencies also faced major operating difficulties due to absenteeism among operators (Hamilton Spectator, 2020) and enhanced cleaning protocols.
