Revenue and operating data is generated through a variety of software that is gathered into a business intelligence system. Reports are generated and used by staff to monitor system-wide performance, as well as making operational and financial decisions. Staff also monitors service in real-time to manage the day-to-day operation. The most common service performance measures used by the transit industry include: Committee of the Whole 1 Transportation Services March 1, 2018 2017 Transit System Performance Update • Revenue ridership - the number of paying travellers using the service. • Net cost per passenger – net cost to operate a route divided by the number of travellers • On-time performance – the reliability of the service provided to the traveller. This is a key indicator for the overall success of the Operation and Maintenance contracts • Revenue-to-cost ratio – revenue collected through transit fares compared to the cost to operate service 4.

Viva bus rapid transit (BRT) services were launched in 2005 and today we are known as YRT/Viva. We operate a diverse, reliable Family of Services consisting of Local and Base routes, Viva BRT on dedicated rapidways, Mobility Plus specialized transit services, Dial-a-Ride, Express and Community Bus routes, GO Shuttles, and High School Specials. The network provides transit services to a large geographic area including urban, suburban and rural communities. This document provides a summary of our 2016-2020 Strategic Plan which describes how YRT/Viva will address the Region’s transit needs over the next five years. Since amalgamation, ridership and service hours have more than tripled. As YRT/Viva continues to grow, we will continue offering innovative service opportunities to the residents of York Region. Together with the annual service planning process and capital and operating budgets, YRT/Viva will translate the strategic direction outlined in this Plan into actions that will improve public transit. The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan refines existing service guidelines, improves the stakeholder communication process, and identifies new ways to enhance services. The Plan addresses the Spadina Subway Transit Strategy, and other high-order transit initiatives such as rapidways and connecting to expanded GO Transit train services.

An Ex Post Evaluation of the Ridership Impacts of the Viva Bus Transit System
AN EX POST EVALUATION OF THE RIDERSHIP IMPACTS OF THE VIVA BUS TRANSIT SYSTEM by Robert David Forsey A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright Robert David Forsey 2011 An Ex Post Evaluation of the Ridership Impacts of the VIVA Bus Transit System by Robert David Forsey Master of Applied Science, 2011 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Toronto ABSTRACT The Regional Municipality of York introduced a new bus service known as VIVA in 2005. Although it has been deemed a success by many, it remains to be seen to what degree transit use was affected by its introduction. This study shows that transit ridership in York jumped substantially immediately after the implementation of VIVA. Furthermore, it is determined that the majority of new transit users in York are making home-based work or post-secondary school trips. To evaluate this, home-based work and post-secondary school generalized extreme value discrete choice models are estimated. Improvements in transit service are found to have a greater impact on transit mode share than increases in congestion for both work and post-secondary school trips. It is also, however, concluded that transit improvements played a relatively small role in the considerable shift to transit amongst post-secondary students. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Drs. Amer Shalaby and Eric Miller for their thoughtful ideas, patience, and funding. I am greatly indebted to you both for your help. Although not strictly a thesis supervisor, Dr.
