2019 Proposal for Sustainable Service

 

1

IMPLEMENT A SUSTAINABLE NETWORK

Evere Transit completed its Long Range Plan in May, and the plan was adopted by City Council in June. Please see the plan on our website, EvereTransit.org/Future. During its development, the public provided input during three outreach phases. The rst two phases focused on the role of Evere Transit in delivering service and the direcon of growth for our future network, while the third phase presented the dra plan and its ndings. Close to 1,000 surveys were completed as part of the plan outreach, with many more community members interacng online or in person with Evere Transit sta during the process. The nancial analysis of our current system determined that we need to make cost-savings adjustments in the short-term and look for addional revenue sources in order to be sustainable in the next ten years. The Long Range Plan refers to these cost-saving service adjustments as the implementaon of a “sustainable network.”

2019 Service Change Proposal

INCREASE FARES

The last system-wide fare increase implemented by Evere Transit was eecve January 1, 2013. Increasing fares to reect increased cost of operaon is a business pracce most agencies adhere by. Check our website at EvereTransit.org/ServiceChange for more informaon, or aend one of our presentaons. Meeng dates and mes are on the back of this brochure.

Costs are driven not only by the level of service provided, but also by the age of the eet and its rising maintenance costs. The approach taken by this proposal addresses both of those aspects by reducing the hours of service and the number of vehicles needed in service. It also aims to minimize the impacts of these signicant changes to our current customers, while increasing the eciency of service.

GOALS OF THE SUSTAINABLE NETWORK

1. Reduce costs

 ͳReduce service hours by up to 10% ͳReduce the number of vehicles used ͳMinimize changes to infrastructure (stop relocaons) ͳPriorize service within Evere Transit’s  jurisdicon, while maintaining key connecons to regional service

2. Be more efficient

 ͳReduce total trip me on long routes to increase frequency ͳEliminate route segments with infrastructure challenges (like inadequate road capacity) ͳEliminate circular routes ͳStreamline bi-direconal service

3. Implement service that is consistent with future growth

 ͳServe Seaway Transit Center, facilitang connecons and transfers in south Evere ͳEliminate routes and/or segments with low ridership ͳIncrease frequency on high-ridership routes
