PUBLIC INPUT ON AGENDA ITEMS (3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER)

No one signed up to speak on the agenda items.

PRESENTATION

HART's Government Transparency Initiative

Mr. Jeffrey C. Seward, Chief Financial Officer, said HART has embarked on a comprehensive government transparency project, starting first with the financial component, but with plans to expand to all of HART’s activities allowing broad and in-depth access for the public. The presentation provided an overview of this initiative and a demonstration of the financial transparency component. Mr. Seward demonstrated the test page on the HART website on transparent government. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected].

Director Beckner arrived at 9:22 a.m.

Director Murman made a motion to initiate the process of modifying HART Financial Policy adding the transparency component to the current policy. Director Jaroch seconded.

Director Jaroch said this effort exceeded the expectations.

Director Jacob inquired about the transition steps involved in enhancing the current website with this information.

Mr. Seward said it will be static information for a while and will require relinking the documents, but the format and structure would be more easily accessible and understood.

Director Shanahan said she recently attended a conference for CEOs around the country, and one of the facts shared was that the world's population is 7 billion people, and 6.8 billion get their information from social media. She pointed out that transparency develops advocacy. Director Shanahan said HART needs to go better, faster, further, quicker, because it is the only way to talk about the services HART provides and the challenges and new opportunities of the growing area. She remarked that she was encouraged by this initiative and viewed it as educatory. Director Shanahan commented that the Sarasota County website is very user friendly and easy to navigate.

Chair Suarez said government is not about hiding what is done, it is about advocating what is done and sharing the information. He indicated that if government cannot do that more often, it is failing as good stewards of the tax dollar. Chair Suarez thanked staff for the initiative. He asked if HART will be required to put together information for public records request, or staff could simply refer requesters to the website containing the information.

Mr. David Smith, HART General Counsel, stated that referring to the existing document on the HART website would be sufficient in fulfilling public records requests.

All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously.

HART Board of Directors Regular Board of Directors Meeting Minutes December 1, 2014 Page ~ 4

2. ACTION ITEMS a. Resolution #R2014-12-52 ~ Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority (TBARTA) for Financial Support for the Regional Fare Collection Project in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $267,400

b. Resolution #R2014-12-53 ~ Authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to Award a Contract to Integrated Business Group, Inc. for Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains (GP) Software Support in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $454,851.72 (One-Year and Nine Months from Award of Contract, with Two One-Year Options Not-to-Exceed Four Years)

Director Shanahan asked about staff’s approach to contract management. She asked if the proposed MOU between HART and TBARTA has have any savings in it, or there is incentive to save in any of the contracts, and shared savings at the end. Director Shanahan asked if the contract awardees are incented to do better than the contract value, and if so, how does that happen and what are the savings that this would bring back to HART under current operations.

Mr. Seward explained that HART is leading a working group effort with eight agencies on a smart card fare system where all transit agencies will have the same technology, and the patrons will be able to move between jurisdictions. He stated that 100 % of all funding received to date was through the state of Florida through nonmatching grant programs. Mr. Seward added that the funding, in the amount of $1.9 million, will be disbursed and managed through the region for the project. He pointed out that TBARTA helped the working group in the past, funding a consultant to assist with the development of an earlier solicitation. Mr. Seward explained that HART asked TBARTA, which received $1.4 million for their one-call/one-click program from federal government, if they could contribute further funding. He said this money would add funding for the overall project and leverage the use of their web portal and would not require local dollars. Mr. Seward indicated that the presented agreement is to spend TBARTA’s funding for the benefit of the farebox project. He stated that HART has one of the most stewardship and forward-thinking contract management staff who monitor contract activities and spending. Mr. Seward added that HART does not have a bonus program in place to ensure that they complete the work early and receive any incentive for that. He remarked that HART has had many vendors that the agency severed ties with, because they were not producing what was contractually asked to produce. Mr. Seward stated that staff is now working with them to mitigate those issues at the least amount of cost possible to this agency.

Director Shanahan asked if HART sets up KPIs on this MOU that the Board could look at as performance metrics under that contract and track. She indicated that she saw at the state government that everyone assures that they managed their contracts, and get every dollar they can get, and yet, if this role is inversed, with a very fair and tough procurement process, and the contractors are incented, the agencies can have cost savings to contracts. Director Shanahan encouraged that staff look for other examples of best practices. She pointed out that if contractors spend up to the value, it is difficult to measure the success of the contracts. Director Shanahan indicated that if there are cost savings elsewhere, it should be noted to tell the story about both taxpayer money as well as the value of the goal, which is to do efficiencies across the working group agencies.

HART Board of Directors Regular Board of Directors Meeting Minutes December 1, 2014 Page ~ 5

Chair Suarez said he has been trying to deal with the process of creating RFPs at the City government for some time now. He indicated that the value of the particular contracts is not built in, when incentivizing contractors makes them chasing the dollars and making smarter decisions for their own business that makes better sense for those getting their services. Chair Suarez said sometimes there are specific rules that government agencies are to follow. He remarked that the presented MOU probably does not fall under the same category, because the cost to HART is nebulous right now. Chair Suarez suggested a working group be formed to evaluate the value HART is trying to get out of its contracts.

Director Shanahan referred to her past experience with a contract that initially was going to take four years, however, after the contractor received incentive, the repairs were done in six months. She pointed out that such approach cannot be taken for every contract, but it creates a mind-set, and an opportunity for savings and redirecting of money.

Director Melendez noted the Hillsborough County RFP process, with a scoring incentive, where a consultant is scored by a project manager he worked with. He said, in his opinion, a nonmonetary incentive for someone wanting to pursue future business with HART is a great incentive.

Director Jaroch moved and Director Bowers seconded the motion to approve action items (a) Resolution #R2014-12-52 and (b) Resolution #R2014-12-53. All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously.

CHAIR’S REPORT

Chair Suarez announced that the Nominating Committee will meet on December 15.

Ms. Eagan said the standard process is that staff sends out a request for interest to the Board members, and once that information comes back, it is summarized and turned over to the Nominating Committee, and their recommendation will come back to the full Board of Directors at the January meeting for approval.

Directors Jaroch and Bowers volunteered to serve on the Nominating Committee.

Director Murman said that a representative from the BOCC needs to be on the Executive Committee. She said, in her opinion, the FGA Committee has turned into the Executive Committee, and even though HART currently does not have an Executive Committee, she suggested having one that oversees the agenda and action items that are coming up. Director Murman remarked that, in her opinion, that should just be a Finance Committee, and the Administrative and Governance issues should be done under an Executive Committee.

Chair Suarez said the Board can make any decision about HART Committees. He noted that HART staff needs more communication from the County BOCC members about their interest and availability who might have conflicts with other boards and committees.

Ms. Eagan noted that every year staff polls the Board members for the availability, and is ready to accommodate any changes desired by the Board.

HART Board of Directors Regular Board of Directors Meeting Minutes December 1, 2014 Page ~ 6

Director Jaroch mentioned that tab 3 of the packet has a list of current members and a nomination form; and encouraged everyone to respond to the survey and express their interest serving on HART Committees or other Boards.

Director Vance indicated that last year no County Commissioners stepped forward to want to be one of the HART Board officers.

Director Murman said the County provided significant funding for HART and wants to make sure that they are at the leadership level.

Chair Suarez appointed Mr. Jacob to serve on the Nominating Committee.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

Ms. Eagan remarked that the October ridership report included a bus and van cost per vehicle trip. She indicated that the October and November data for the cost per passenger trip for the agency will be provided in the January board packets and CEO weekly. Ms. Eagan reported that in November it was just $4.18 per passenger, and after backing out the fare recovery, the actual cost per trip per passenger not covered by fare was $2.89 each. She stated that staff is pretty proud of that number as it is a lower cost than in a lot of agencies.

Ms. Eagan said partnership with Sunshine Line has been discussed at the previous meeting, and as a follow up, HART staff scheduled a meeting with Mr. Scott Clark, the Director of Sunshine Line, on December 4. She indicated that staff has been working informally with Sunshine Line. A good example was two years ago, when the County was cutting the ad valorem going to Sunshine Line resulting in a six-month transition of migrating nine dialysis centers in the unincorporated area of the County which HART serves. Ms. Eagan said the two agencies were able to partner in bundling the trips together and being more cost-effective. She pointed out that both agencies use different scheduling software, so it is a little more challenging to review the trips, but staff will be formalizing this work into a working group going forward. Ms. Eagan stated that there is a representative from the Sunshine Line on the HART ADA Committee.

GENERAL COUNSEL

Mr. Smith referred the Board members to the report in the packets that outlined the process of updating the HART Board policies. He indicated that Section 120.02 deals with the process by which the City and the County or any other appointive body fills a vacancy on the HART Board when a vacancy occurs. Mr. Smith said the Statute prescribes time frames and a process; however, it does not prescribe notice requirements and other specifics that cause some confusion. He reported that he added to the policy a specific set of requirements that notice must be provided to the governing body, and the time frames to act will date from those notices, so there is a due process provided to the body. Mr. Smith advised the Board that since this policy addresses an issue that is partly described and prescribed by the Statute, it is necessary to go through a rulemaking process, because this specificity is not currently in the Statute. He pointed out that for such change a different process will be required, the City and the County will be notified about the desired change. Mr. Smith said he suspected they will not request a public hearing since the proposed changes would protect their rights and provide a clear process. He remarked that after the date of the notice, there is 21-day period to implicate and start a rulemaking

HART Board of Directors Regular Board of Directors Meeting Minutes December 1, 2014 Page ~ 7 hearing if they want to. Mr. Smith recommended that HART did not request one at the outset, because he did not think it was necessary, since the public at-large is not affected by this change, this is pertaining to the appointive bodies and their rights. He stated that the proposed changes would come back to the Board probably in the February time frame.

Director Bowers made a motion to move the process forward on updating the HART Board policy Section 120.02 on the organizational language concerning appointment of Board members. Director Melendez seconded. All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Smith introduced the second proposed change, Section 1000: Environmental Policy; Sub-section 1000.02: Policy, which does not require a rulemaking process, but rather an adoption and clarification of an environmental policy to enhance the environmental efficiency of HART as an organization.

Director Bowers made a motion to move the process forward on updating the HART Board policy Section 1000: Environmental Policy; Sub-section 1000.02: Policy. Director Melendez seconded. All Board members present voted aye. The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Smith reported that he has been working with HART Board Chair and CEO on the CEO employment agreement. He said the draft will be presented to the full Board at the January meeting.

Chair Suarez said he has reached out to the American Public Transportation Association to request any surveys or studies on transit CEOs’ salaries across the country. He said it is important to ensure HART falls within the national parameters in the compensation level taking into consideration the years of experience and the performance that Ms. Eagan has had over the past few years.

NEW BUSINESS

Discussion on Outcomes of Referenda throughout the State ~ Requested by Director Burgin

Chair Suarez said Director Burgin could not attend the meeting and requested that his letter be read into the record. Director Burgin also requested that the agenda under New Business be postponed till the January Board meeting. Chair Suarez requested that staff send this letter to all Board members for their edification. He also referred to the distributed information from APTA on the transit referenda outcome across the country.

Director Murman said she would like to see the Finance Committee be just a Finance Committee that would look at HART revenue sources, potential funding for the future so that the Committee members had time to examine the finances, and make decisions on how HART is going to move forward. She remarked that it was clear to her that the HART Board and staff have to spend time next year trying to find out how to get more money to get more buses to get more services out to people. Director Murman indicated that it is time for the Finance Committee to truly act like a Finance Committee and delve into those issues. She said she has asked for committees previously over the last four years she has been on the HART Board, to study ways and have workshops on bonding, finances, going through line items. Director Murman stated that the Finance Committee cannot be bogged down with other administrative and governance issues when the primary mission and goal for the next two years for HART is going to be how to move this agency forward. She requested that this issue be discussed at the next Board meeting under new business.

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Approval of Revisions to HART Board Policies: Environmental Policy; Section 1000.02: Policy

OVERVIEW At the December 1, 2014 regular meeting, the HART Board of Directors passed the motion to move the process forward on updating the HART Board policy Section 1000: Environmental Policy; Sub-section 1000.02: Policy. Revisions to HART Board Policies: Section 1000 Environmental Policy will ensure full compliance with the ISO Standard, the inclusion of HART’s commitment to pollution prevention must be added and clearly stated.

RECOMMENDATION That the Finance, Governance, and Administration Committee review the action item as a first step in the process of approval of revisions to HART Board Policies: Environmental Policy; Section 1000.02: Policy; and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the January 5, 2014 regular Board meeting.

FINANCIAL IMPACT None.

BACKGROUND HART was selected to participate in the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) 2013 Environmental Management System (EMS) Training and Technical Assistance program managed by Virginia Tech University’s Center for Organizational and Technological Advancement (COTA). EMS is a two-year process that will allow HART to analyze, control and reduce the environmental impact of its activities, products and services and operate with greater efficiency and work toward ISO 14001 compliance.

The initial phase of the two-year process is training provided by FTA and COTA for HART’s Core EMS Team which consists of four workshops held at the COTA facilities in Roanoke, Virginia. The Core EMS Team completed the first workshop in August with a key deliverable being the development and approval of a broad organizational environmental policy, which is instrumental in achieving overall program success. The HART Board approved the Environmental Policy in November of last year. The broad environmental policy set forth the commitment HART has to protect and improve its environmental performance across all of its business activities by establishing, integrating, and implementing the environmental policy framework that will guide HART in promoting the use of sustainable transportation and reduce negative environmental impacts.

As part of the FTA’s ESMS program, each agency is required to have two audits conducted by Virginia Tech COTA officials; one being an initial gap audit, to see what programmatic areas need improved, tweaked or refined, and a final audit to fulfill the FTA program requirements. HART’s gap audit was conducted on September 22, 2014. One of the findings from that gap audit involved comparing HART’s adopted Environmental Policy and the ISO 14001 Standard which sets the specific requirements for the policy. To ensure full compliance with the ISO

PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS (3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER)

No one signed up to speak on agenda items.

PRESENTATION

MAP-21 Regulatory Changes to HART Safety Program

Mr. Michael Stephens, HART Chief Business Enterprise and Safety Officer, provided a brief overview of new Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Program Safety Requirements and the implications for HART. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Mr. Stephens said that last Friday, as a part of the safety preparedness drill, HART staff held an exercise that simulated a collision of a pedestrian with a streetcar. He reported that the exercise involved coordination of the actions of the local first responders, streetcar mechanics, and how to navigate the equipment in case of accidents.

FGA Committee member Burgin asked at what point in the rule development process the public comment will be expected.

Mr. Stephens indicated that the rule making of the safety component of the legislature is expected to be crystalized in summer of 2015.

FGA Committee member Jacob asked if there is means by which HART can look at a public media policy, where HART could communicate to the community the positive aspects of preparing for safety versus the negative media accident reports.

Mr. Stephens said HART Public Information Officer is focused on getting the information out to the media and community proactively. He indicated that a part of the strategy as the MAP-21 regulations come online is a more comprehensive approach to communicating internally and externally so that they know and understand HART’s efforts on safety. Mr. Stephens said that staff has been researching how to reduce the liability profile on streetcar operations, through a campaign on pedestrian awareness, to watch out for the streetcar. He remarked that there is a big campaign on the national level on greater public outreach on safety.

FGA Committee Jacob stated that it is important that the public is aware of HART taking proactive measures. He said he could help to spread the word out. FGA Committee member Jacob said it is a terrific story that is to be told to the community.

Ms. Katharine Eagan, HART Chief Executive Officer, said staff will make sure that such information is included in the weekly and in advanced Board alerts.

ACTION ITEM

FGA Committee member Beckner moved and FGA Committee member Burgin seconded advancement of the following action item to the full HART Board of Directors at the January 5 regular Board meeting:

CALL TO ORDER

The meeting was called to order by Chair Wallace Bowers at 9:41 a.m.

Mr. David Smith, HART Board General Counsel, explained that the purpose of the Nominating Committee meeting is to review the summary of Board members’ nominations for the HART Board officers’ positions as well as other Boards and HART Board Committees for 2015. He said the Nominating Committee members, Directors Bowers, Burgin, and Jacob, are charged with a task to review the nominations and form recommendations to the full Board for consideration and vote during the Election of Officers at the January 5 HART regular Board meeting. Mr. Smith stated that all 13 members responded to the survey and indicated their interest in various vacancies.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE HART BOARD OFFICERS POSITIONS

HART Board Chair

Nominating Committee Chair Bowers announced the names of the nominated and self- nominated members of the Board for the seat of the HART Board Chair.

The members of the Nominating Committee reviewed the nominations and recommended that Director Suarez be re-elected to the position of the HART Board Chair.

HART Board Vice Chair

Nominating Committee Chair Bowers announced the names of the nominated and self- nominated members of the Board for the seat of the HART Board Vice Chair.

Mr. Smith pointed out for the Nominating Committee members’ consideration that there are three Board members who nominated Director Vance for the Vice Chair position. He said that the only person that expressed interest in serving in that capacity was Director Jaroch.

Hillsborough Transit Authority Minutes Nominating Committee Meeting December 15, 2014

Nominating Committee member Jacob said that it seems a logical solution to appoint those individuals who expressed interest in serving in any capacity and are supported by fellow Board members.

Mr. Smith reminded the Committee that there was a discussion at the Board level about the need for Elected County representation on the Executive Committee.

Nominating Committee Chair Bowers pointed out that Commissioners Beckner and Miller were recommended for the Vice Chair position.

Nominating Committee member Burgin explained that he nominated Director Vance for the Vice Chair position because he currently serves as the Board Secretary, and this appointment would be continuing the progression for him.

Ms. Katharine Eagan, HART Chief Executive Officer, explained that in the past, the HART Board does not necessarily follow a progression for officers. She remarked that Director Jaroch is a County Appointee, as well as the Finance, Governance, and Administration Committee Chair.

The members of the Nominating Committee reviewed the nominations and recommended that Director Jaroch be elected to the position of the HART Board Vice Chair.

HART Board Secretary

The members of the Nominating Committee reviewed the nominations and recommended that Director Vance be re-elected to the position of the HART Board Secretary.

OTHER APPOINTMENTS BY THE HART BOARD OF DIRECTORS To be approved by the HART Board.

Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board

Mr. Smith explained that these are positions that the Committee recommends for the full Board’s approval. He mentioned that the current member appointed to the Transportation Disadvantage Coordinating Board is Director Burgin and the alternate position is vacant.

Nominating Committee member Burgin inquired if Director Jacob had an interest in the position since he had been nominated by other Board members.

Nominating Committee member Jacob indicated that he was interested in another Committee, but would be happy to serve in any capacity.

Hillsborough Transit Authority Minutes Nominating Committee Meeting December 15, 2014

Tampa Historic Streetcar, Inc. (THS) Board

Mr. Smith explained that HART has three member seats on the THS Board, and three alternate positions.

Nominating Committee member Burgin pointed out that Director Vance expressed interest in continuing to serve as a member to the THS Board. He inquired if Director Jacob had interest in serving as a member on the Board.

Nominating Committee member Jacob said he would be happy to serve on THS Board.

Nominating Committee Chair Bowers announced the names of the Board members that currently serve on the THS Board.

Ms. Eagan pointed out that Director Suarez self-nominated as alternate on the THS Board.

Nominating Committee Chair Bowers announced the names of the nominated and self- nominated Board members to the alternate positions. He also indicated that he would be interested in continuing to serve as an alternate on the THS Board.

The members of the Nominating Committee reviewed the above nominations and recommended that Directors Crino, Jacob, and Vance are elected to serve as HART representatives (voting members) on the Tampa Historic Streetcar Board of Directors. Directors Bowers, Suarez, and Jaroch were recommended as HART alternates to the Tampa Historic Streetcar Board of Directors.

Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board

Nominating Committee member Burgin noted that Dr. Polzin served on the MPO Board for many years and always seemed a natural choice for that particular role. He explained that a year ago he expressed interest and was appointed as an alternate on the MPO Board. Nominating Committee member Burgin added that when Dr. Polzin’s term expired, he assumed the role of the voting member on the MPO Board for two sessions. He noted that many HART Board members are interested in being appointed as voting members to the MPO Board, and recommended that the Nominating Committee advance the full slate of the nominations for both member and alternate to the full HART Board for deliberation.

Ms. Eagan said that the Committee has the prerogative to forward the full slate to the entire Board.

Nominating Committee member Jacob said it is important to note whose background knowledge and expertise are best-served on this particular Board from both a personal interest and a professional standpoint. He indicated that the MPO Board is going to be very significant in the next couple years making decisions on planning and transportation issues in the community. Nominating Committee member Jacob agreed to bring the full slate of nominations to the full Board for discussion.

Hillsborough Transit Authority Minutes Nominating Committee Meeting December 15, 2014

Mr. Smith explained that the Committee has two options: either narrow it down and form a recommendation on one or two candidates or move the slate as it is and let the full Board consider it.

Bowers said, in his opinion, a person who would be elected to the MPO Board seat should have some professional background in planning.

Nominating Committee Burgin suggested advancing to the full Board’s consideration all self- nominations for either a member or alternate to the MPO Board.

The Nominating Committee members voted unanimously to move the slate of the self- nominations for the MPO Board member and alternate positions to the January 5 regular Board meeting for the full Board’s consideration.

HART COMMITTEES WITH HART BOARD MEMBER PARTICIPATION

HART Claims and Litigation Committee

Mr. Smith announced the names of nominated and self-nominated members of the Board to the member and alternate positions to the HART Claims and Litigation Committee. He said that currently, Director Crino serves as the member of the Committee, and the alternate position is vacant. Mr. Smith pointed out that Director Crino expressed interest in continuing to serve as the member, and there were several nominations from the fellow-Board members in support of his candidacy.

The members of the Nominating Committee reviewed the above nominations and recommended that Director Crino be elected to serve as the member on the HART Claims and Litigation Committee, with Director Shanahan as alternate.

HART Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Committee

Mr. Smith announced that the current member of the ADA Committee is Director Burgin, and the alternate position is vacant. He announced the names of the nominated members of the Board as the HART member and alternate appointments to the Committee.

The members of the Nominating Committee reviewed the above nominations and recommended that Director Murman be elected to serve as member on the ADA Committee, with Director Beckner as alternate.

Mr. Smith pointed that Director Murman expressed interest to be on the FGA Committee, which appointment is made by the HART Board Chair.

Hillsborough Transit Authority Minutes Nominating Committee Meeting December 15, 2014

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CHAIRPERSON FOR 2015 HART BOARD COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS

Mr. Smith indicated that it is the prerogative of the HART Board Chair to appoint to various other HART Board Committees. He drew the attention of the Nominating Committee to the names of the Board members who expressed interest in service on those Committees.

Nominating Committee member Jacob inquired if there is a set number of seats on each Committee.

Mr. Smith said that the Chair always has the ability to adjust a Committee’s membership. He referred the Nominating Committee members to the summary of responses provided in the packet for their information. He also pointed out that at the last regular Board meeting there was a discussion about forming a HART Executive Committee in place of the Finance, Governance and Administration Committee.

Ms. Eagan stated that on the January regular Board meeting agenda, there will be a discussion item for committee structure and the purposes as requested by Director Murman at the December Board meeting.

Nominating Committee member Jacob inquired if the nominees could take themselves out of consideration during the Election of Officers at the January 5 meeting.

Ms. Eagan indicated that the process allows for nominations, self-nominations and withdrawal of candidacies during the election process.

Mr. Smith explained that the full Board has the freedom to nominate anyone, consider the Nominating Committee recommendations and either honor them or not.

There was some discussion on this item and MPO Attorney, Cameron Clark, stated that in the Roberts Rule of Order a motion could be made to defer this item to the January 6th meeting.

Commissioner Murman so moved the suggestion by Mr. Clark; Commissioner Crist seconded the motion which passed with Vice Chair Montelione and Councilman Suarez voting against the motion.

B. Surface Transportation Vulnerability Assessment Report

Mr. Josh DeFlorio stated that the MPO was selected by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for a pilot project to assess surface transportation resiliency to

three climate‐related hazards in Hillsborough County: sea level rise; storm surge and flooding. This vulnerability assessment takes a two‐pronged approach:

1. to evaluate the impact of system‐wide transportation disruption under a typical storm scenario, estimate the economic consequences of that disruption, and propose measures to mitigate the disruption; and 2. to look at six critical and vulnerable transportation facilities for a more detailed analysis.

The goal is to develop investment levels for the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Safety and Security funding “bucket” to lessen our vulnerability to extreme weather. A second goal is to integrate climate‐related mitigation and adaptation measures into the planning process.

Councilman Cohen made a motion to not accept the report today, but rather take it back to the MPO Policy Committee for an opportunity for that committee to further define additional work so that it could come back to the full board, along with this report, as something that the MPO could accept at that time.

"Gaining$a$better$understanding$of$why$Pinellas$residents$supported$or$opposed$ Greenlight$is$critical$to$forging$a$path$forward$in$developing$any$future$referendums$or$ other$options$for$raising$funds$for$improved$transportation$in$Tampa$Bay,"$wrote$ Partnership$CEO$Stuart$Rogel$in$a$memo$to$the$group's$investors.

•$Excluding$rail$from$Greenlight$would$not$have$increased$support.$When$asked$if$they$ would$vote$for$a$half8cent$tax$increase$for$only$bus$improvements,$respondents'$ approval$was$just$38$percent.

BACKGROUND

Excerpt from the Regular Board of Directors Meeting Minutes ~ December 1, 2014

DISCUSSION

HART Board Committee meeting cycle – Availability Survey

In order to adjust the HART Board Committees meeting cycle, staff periodically gathers information about the availability of all HART Board members. Currently, HART Board Committee meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. To line up with the Board and Committee election cycle, staff has moved the poll to December, to allow for time and date adjustments during the election process in January 2015. Staff surveyed the Board members’ availability if the Committee meetings were held on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Monday of each month.

The survey was completed by six Board members, four of whom indicated that they are available on most Monday mornings. Two Board members had scheduling conflicts, one on the second and fourth Monday of each month, and the other, on the third Monday of the month.

2014 HART Board Committee Appointments

The HART Board Chair has the discretion to establish new committees, to dissolve existing committees, and to convene committee meetings on an as-needed basis. The Board Chair appoints Committee Chairs, Vice Chairs, and members.

MONTHLY INFORMATION REPORT Organizational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – November 2014

SUMMARY This memorandum provides a report on the attainment level of the adopted organizational KPIs covering Fiscal Year 2015.

DISCUSSION At the September 8, 2014, regular Board meeting, the HART Board adopted Resolution #R2014- 09-38, approval of HART Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Hillsborough Transit Authority for FY2015. The established KPIs are directly measurable and the organization’s level of attainment is updated and reported to the Board on a monthly basis (see table below).

ORGANIZATIONAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS EVALUATION PERIOD FY2015 (OCTOBER 2013 – SEPTEMBER 2014) (TENTATIVE RESULTS)* FY2015 (2 MONTH) PERFORMANCE KPI CRITERIA TARGET 10/14 – 11/14 Ridership Bus Passengers per Revenue Greater than or equal Productivity Hour to 24.0 25.72 Less than or equal to Efficiency Gross Cost per Revenue Mile $6.83 $7.47 Collisions per 100,000 Less than or equal to Safety Revenue Miles .55 0.386 Quality of Complaints per 100,000 Less than or equal to Service Passengers 13.0 13.98 Quality of Mean Distance Between Greater than or equal Service Vehicle Failures to 6,600 5,918 On-Time 1 Minute Early to 5 Minutes Performance Late at Scheduled Timepoints Greater than 74% 72.8% Greater than or equal to 0.5% of previous Growth of Fund Balance and year’s ending fund To be reported at Finance Fiscal Sustainability balance year’s end *All calculations subject to restatement Bold Italics = KPI target not met in reporting period

Hillsborough Transit Authority Board of Directors Meeting January 5, 2015

CONCLUSION The effective date for measurement of the proposed goals is FY 2015, October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.

KPI for Ridership Productivity and Safety are the KPI measures being met for the first two months of Fiscal Year 2015.

The KPIs for Efficiency, Quality of Service (Complaints), Quality of Service (mean distance between failures), and On-Time Performance are not being met in the first two months of FY 2015. Quality of Service (complaints) was nearly 3 per 100,000 passengers lower than the prior month.

No trends or patterns should be inferred with only two months completed in the current fiscal year. With just two-months of data, calculations are prone to be artificially high or low depending on circumstances of those particular months. Measures should begin to ‘smooth out’ beginning with the third or fourth month of the fiscal year. After the third or fourth month, trends will establish themselves.

Charts of the FY 2015 annual KPIs are presented as an Attachment.

The opening remarks included statewide trends which showed a continued aging of the population, a decrease in vehicle miles traveled and growth in the use public transportation. Of the many bold ideas that were brought forward during the summit, one of the favorite among attendees was to make more efficient use of the existing transportation network, increasing the use of existing capacity. This direction complements HART led initiatives to maximize existing resources where it is possible to do so. Overall, public transportation held a substantial role throughout the summit, emerging within one of the top three stakeholder selected themes for the plan: expanding multi-modal options for travelers.

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Automated Vehicles Summit Staff attended the Florida Automated Vehicles Summit in Orlando, December 15 and 16. This is the second annual summit organized by FDOT to help advance the framework for implementation of automated vehicles on Florida’s roads. The agenda included speakers from Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Senate, Florida universities, and the private sector regarding plans to take advantage of automated vehicle technologies to save lives and enhance mobility on our roadways.

The attendees were able to experience autonomous and connected vehicle technologies first hand to get a better understanding of these emerging technologies and weigh-in on the challenges and opportunities these technologies pose for Florida’s economy, transportation infrastructure, and citizens. Participants also attended a live demonstration, showing enhanced warning capabilities, on a local bus using Mobileye technology which HART is currently deploying on some of its fixed route buses in a pilot program with FDOT.
