    MEMORANDUM Project: RMRTD Visioning (Long-Term Strategic Vision and Implementation Services) Contract: 2014-01 Date: July 3rd, 2015 To: Tony Sylvester, Rio Metro Regional Transit District From: Holly Buck and Kelly Leadbetter, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig Subject: RMRTD Transit Operations and Organizational Options White Paper - FINAL Purpose of this White Paper Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU) conducted a technical assessment of Rio Metro Regional Transit District (RMRTD) and ABQ RIDE to document existing transit operations and agency structures and identify preliminary opportunities for changes to better achieve the goals of the Long-Term Strategic Visioning project currently underway. RMRTD’s and ABQ RIDE’s boards, management/staff, transit riders, and other stakeholders (e.g. partner agencies and the business community) informed the development of this technical assessment by providing ongoing input to the consultant team throughout in the fall of 2014 and into 2015. In addition, a PowerPoint summary of the key findings and conclusions of an earlier draft of this white paper was delivered to the RMRTD Board at their 3/11/15 Visioning Workshop and to ABQ RIDE management and staff at their 4/14/15 workshop focused on ABQ RIDE. This version has subsequently been revised based on feedback at those meetings and from RMRTD staff. Ultimately, the findings from this white paper will inform the development of recommendations in the RMRTD’s Long-Term Strategic Vision Plan. What This White Paper Contains This white paper is consists of three parts: • Part 1: RMRTD Existing Conditions and Review of Partner Agencies/Service Providers. Part 1 includes a technical review of existing transit operations and agency structures for RMRTD and ABQ RIDE, including an assessment of agency leadership/management, transit services, public information, operating and capital budgets, and funding sources.
