  • Mobility in Southeast Florida: a New Approach Based on Pricing and Bus Rapid Transit by Robert W
    Policy Study 400 March 2012 Increasing Mobility in Southeast Florida: A New Approach Based on Pricing and Bus Rapid Transit by Robert W. Poole, Jr. with Thomas A. Rubin, CPA and Chris Swenson, PE Acknowledgement This policy study is the independent work product of Reason Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt research institute headquartered in Los Angeles. It was funded by the Galvin Foundation of Chicago as part of a series of urban-region mobility studies in various parts of the United States. The project team received outstanding cooperation from the various agencies in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties responsible for transportation policy, planning, investment and operations. These include the Florida Department of Transportation Districts 4 and 6, the Miami-Dade Expressway Author- ity, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, Miami-Dade Transit, Broward County Transit, PalmTran, the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Broward County MPO, the Miami-Dade County MPO and the Southeast Florida Transportation Council.

  • 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.
