ADJOURNMENT Page 5 of 94 The Corporation of The Town of Penetanguishene Committee of the Whole Report COMMITTEE: Transportation & Environmental Services Section COMMITTEE CHAIR: Councillor Doug Rawson SUBJECT: Midland Penetanguishene Transit Ridership Monthly Update REPORT HIGHLIGHTS • The purpose of this report is to provide council with an update on the monthly ridership of the transit system along with a Stop Performance Report and the Revenue and Cost factors. • This report will cover the month of May • There were 2327 boardings during the month of May which is an increase in ridership of 51 from the previous month. • An even ridership distribution has been observed in the month of May during the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. RECOMMENDATION THAT the report be received for information. BACKGROUND The Midland Penetanguishene Transit system commenced operation on February 1st, 2016. Since that time, the Town of Penetanguishene through its operator (the Town of Midland) has implemented the Transit Fare program on its bus service. Transit riders are provided the option to either purchase a reloadable transit fare card or pay cash when they enter the bus. Transit fare software reads both card and cash transactions and counts it as a boarding and reduces the number of rides left on the card. With this program we are able to review the number of riders boarding the transit system. Transit Ridership Update Page 6 of 94 The Corporation of The Town of Penetanguishene Committee of the Whole Report ANALYSIS For the month of May 2018, the Transit Fare software identified the following boardings on the Penetanguishene Transit Route which includes the increases and decreases, as seen in the graph below. The diagram below summarizes the distribution of boardings on an hourly basis. 2 Hours % Boardings % Boardings Time Frame April May 6:00 - 7:00 9.05% 8.21% 8:00 - 9:00 22.36% 20.89% 10:00 - 11:00 18.06% 22.35% 12:00 - 13:00 20.96% 19.17% 14:00 - 15:00 19.90% 19.60% 16:00 - 17:00 9.58% 9.80% 18:00 - 19:00 .088% .000% Transit Ridership Update Page 7 of 94 The Corporation of The Town of Penetanguishene Committee of the Whole Report The Transit Fare software is able to collect the number of boardings per stop, which is listed below. The gray highlighted area represents the transfer locations. The transfer locations in Midland in include both transfers and paid boardings at these locations which accounts for the discrepancy in the monthly paid boardings and the cumulative transfer and boardings at each stop location summarized below. The Transit Fare software also has the ability to record which stop transit riders are departing the bus. A table summarizing the transit ridership trip destinations for the month of May is provided below: Boardings Passenger Boardings Passenger Stop Name Apr/18 Count May/18 Count Church/Cambridge 62 54 62 35 116 40 155 69 Georgian Village 49 37 54 30 Poyntz & Park 20 4 10 6 Broad & Church 38 38 44 28 Gignac & John 11 0 0 0 Main & Beck 0 0 0 0 Lorne & Buke 66 74 122 99 Village Square Mall 583 191 549 184 Thompsons/Maria 20 4 11 1 Fox & Broad 1 0 6 1 Beck & Fox 169 102 215 128 Robert E & Fox 12 19 17 19 Robert & Centre 148 125 175 127 Robert/Town Hall 75 112 104 93 Waypoint Medical Centre 46 0 55 0 Huronia Mall 1921 1038 2036 941 Georgian Bay 130 0 124 0 Mountainview Mall 170 0 177 0 Transit Ridership Update Page 8 of 94 The Corporation of The Town of Penetanguishene Committee of the Whole Report The table below summarizes the operating costs and revenue for the Penetanguishene Transit System since January 2018: Penetanguishene Cost & Revenue for Penetanguishene/Midland Transit Revenue - Costs - Revenue - Renevue - Midland Revenue - Net 2018 Costs - Midland Other Total Cost Grants Fares Fares OW Total Revenue Cost/(Revenue) January $ 2,564.00 $ 2,564.00 $ - $ 633.25 $ 964.51 $ 1,597.76 $ 966.24 February $ 1,640.97 $ 1,640.97 $ - $ 540.00 $ 540.00 $ 1,100.97 Marc h $ 8,787.88 $ 8,787.88 $ - $ 866.50 $ 741.93 $ 1,608.43 $ 7,179.45 April $ 0.16 $ 0.16 $ 22,457.00 $ 797.50 $ 723.32 $ 23,977.82 $ (23,977.66) May $ 79.96 $ 79.96 $ - $ 1,070.00 $ 1,070.00 $ (990.04) June $ - $ - $ - July $ - $ - $ - August $ - $ - $ - September $ - $ - $ - October $ - $ - $ - November $ - $ - $ - December $ - $ - $ - Total $ - $ 13,072.97 $ 13,072.97 $ 22,457.00 $ 3,907.25 $ - $ 2,429.76 $ 28,794.01 $ (15,721.04) BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS There are no budgetary implications associated with this report.

Simcoe County’s unique French festival was scheduled to take place July 16-18. However, organizers unanimously voted to postpone the Festival until July 15-17, 2021. Since 2002, over 2,000 people from all around the area and further afield attend the weekend festival that takes place in downtown Lafontaine. The celebration of French heritage and culture features vendors, artisans, artists, a tractor parade, howling competition, bands, storytelling, and local food.

  • Final Report, Strategic Facility Plan, Township of Oro-Medonte, March
    FINAL REPORT Strategic Facility Plan, Township of Oro-Medonte March, 2010 March 31, 2010 Shawn Binns, Director Recreation and Community Services Department Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Box 100, Oro LOL 2X0 Dear Mr. Binns: The RETHINK GROUP is pleased to submit this Draft Report of the Strategic Facility Plan for the Township of Oro-Medonte. The Strategy researched and evaluated most types of leisure facilities and offers recommendations that are aligned to broad time frames, looking out twenty years. This comprehensive township-wide Strategy should act as the guiding framework for decision-making. It builds upon and integrates the individual provision strategies that have been developed for each type of facility. Key elements and themes include: measures to reduce deficiencies; consolidation and clustering of some facilities to improve efficiency and effectiveness; establishing the three-tiered hierarchy of parks and facilities (local, community and township-wide/regional) as the basis of service delivery; encouraging partnerships and strategic alliances with other public entities, and the non-profit and commercial sectors; and gradually and steadily increasing the direct and indirect role of the Municipality in the provision of leisure services - including an increased emphasis on leisure interests that are growing in popularity. Fundamental to the Strategic Facility Plan are the Planning and Provision Principles, which provide the philosophical foundation and key policy direction. The principles also provide a ‘touch stone’ to help evaluate decisions under consideration, as well as some of the tools to help refine the Strategy over time. Integral to the Strategic Facility Plan is the detailed feasibility study for the proposed new arena complex and the outdoor facilities recommended for the Guthrie site.
