Page 1 Public Works Department 2011 Transit Report Executive Summary Et Update September 27, 2011 Public Works Department 2011 Transit Report Page 2 TRANSIT HISTORY In 1984, the City of Plymouth elected to exercise its right to provide transit. It was empowered by the Minnesota Legislature in 1981 to create a suburban transit authority separate from the Metropolitan Transit Commission. The Plymouth Metrolink transit system provides express commuter bus service, local bus service and dial -a -ride service. Plymouth Metrolink express bus routes 742, 747, 772, 774, 776, 777, 790, 793 and 795 take commuters to and from downtown Minneapolis. Local shuttle bus routes 740, 741, 771 and 791 take riders on fixed routes within Plymouth. The express and local shuttle buses operate during morning and aftemoon/evening rush hours and midday (795). Dial -A -Ride service operates weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Dial -A -Ride service is provided within the city of Plymouth and to certain locations outside the city of Plymouth. Currently, Plymouth Metrolink has a fleet of 43 buses, almost all equipped with automatic vehicle locators (AVL). Plymouth staff is able to locate Metrolink and other buses on computers and respond to customer requests regarding bus location. Staff is also able to better monitor the contractor for on time route performance. Thirty-nine of the buses have fare boxes. Fifteen buses are equipped with automated passenger counters (APC). The fifteen newest buses have audio/visual equipment, which is now standard in the region. RIDERSHIP Plymouth Metrolink ridership peaked in 2007 at 544,551 riders. During the next two years, ridership decreased, declining 2% in 2008 and another 17% in 2009. In 2009 and 2010, fixed routes not meeting performance measures were reduced or eliminated. Dial -a -Ride Saturday service was eliminated and weekday hours were reduced beginning in 2010. Total ridership increased by 4% in 2010 and by 14% in 2011 (January through June comparisons).

The 17.5% is based upon 2002 suburban provider property taxes and has not changed since 2002. Plymouth receives 15.3419% of metropolitan transit's 17.5% as its base MVST. Public Works Department 2011 Transit Report Page 4 If there are any MVST funds remaining after the base funds have been allocated, they are managed by Metropolitan Council and referred to as regionally allocated MVST (RA-MVST), sometimes referred to as supplemental MVST. Plymouth previously received supplemental MVST to help offset operating costs. Based on recently adopted policies by the Metropolitan Council, supplemental MVST will not be allocated to a suburban transit provider until the provider has reduced its transit fund to less than 35% of annual operating costs. Fares Metropolitan Council is responsible for establishing the region's uniform fare policy for regular route transit. ii Regular Fare Rush Hours Non -Rush Hours Light Rail & Local Bus $2.25 $1.75 Express Bus $3.00 $2.25 Reduced Fare Rush Hours Non -Rush Hours Five and under Free Free Ages 5 and under ride free with a paidfare (limit 3 children may ride free).

Downtown zone $0.50 Roundtrip DZ Light Rail only $1.00 DZ $0.50 Roundtrip $1.00 The City of Plymouth is responsible for establishing the Plymouth Metrolink Dial -A -Ride fare, which is currently $3.00 per ride. Fare Subsidy In 2010, the subsidy for fixed routes was $4.68 per passenger. The 2011 fixed route average subsidy is $4.60 per passenger. The regular passenger peak express fare between downtown and Plymouth is $3.00 per ride. The average subsidy for Dial -A -Ride in 2010 was $16.63 per passenger. The average subsidy for Dial -A -Ride in 2011 is $17.21 per passenger. The fare is $3.00 per ride since January 1, 2010. Public Works Department 2011 Transit Report Page 5 2011 TRANSPORTATION BILL In 2011, legislators and Metropolitan Council negotiated a transportation bill to address the State's transportation deficit, which affected allocation of MVST revenues in state fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The legislature passed the new law which reads in part "In each year of the biennium, the Metropolitan Council shall provide financial assistance to suburban transit providers in an amount that is $1,650,000 less than the amount of assistance that was provided in fiscal year 2011..." While the transit cuts are not as deep as they were under the original transportation funding bill proposed by the Legislature in May, there is still a 40% cut to general fund support for Metropolitan Transit. The final cut is a number that the Metropolitan Council staff advised the legislature that it can absorb with some financial maneuvering. Suburban transit providers will receive 2011 level funding, minus $1.65 million/year for 2012- 2013, saving the Metropolitan Council $7.2 million. According to Metropolitan Council staff reports, the remaining $29.3 million will be addressed with administrative reductions, the conversion of capital funds to operating funds where possible, and spending down reserves to a minimum level. The Metropolitan Council has announced there will be no layoffs, fare increases or service reductions as a result of the cuts as shown below.

These allocations continue to be updated and changed by the Metropolitan Council, making fund balance modeling and budgeting quite difficult.

That amount will be forecasted in February of 2012 for budgeting purposes. It is forecasted again and readjusted in November of 2012. The Transit Fund Balance shown below reflects that return to base MVST allocations in 2013. Despite the reduction in MVST, the Transit Fund is not projected to fall below 42% of the next year's operating expenses in the foreseeable future, unless MVST cuts continue past 2013, in which case the fund balance could be quickly depleted. This scenario is different than was reported to the City Council in February, 2011 for a number of reasons. MVST revenue projections are not as bleak as forecasted by the State in February, and the operations cost used for the fund balance analysis actually included over $200,000 in capital costs which have since been removed from the projections. The February analysis also did not include the operational savings measures implemented in 2009. In addition, there was an error in the spreadsheet used to calculate the projections. With the updated revenue figures from the Metropolitan Council and corrections made to the operations costs, the fund balance projection appears more favorable. While the use of reserves to balance the budget will be required in 2011, 2012 and 2013, the fund balance should not fall below the minimum balance allowed in accordance with the Transit Fund policy if funding is restored fully in 2013. The net effect of the Metropolitan Council's allocations is that revenue will be reduced by 1,081,482 over the biennium and the Transit Fund balance could be reduced by nearly 2,000,000 in 2012 and 2103 combined. Metropolitan Council staff stated that it desires to reduce the Transit Fund balance to 50% of the next year's operating budget by the end of the biennium.

The recent changes in the legislature can only exacerbate the unpredictability of those revenues. The fund balance projection contemplates the use offund balance to balance the transit budget for 2011, 2012 and 2013. Eliminating or Reducing Services The City Council could consider eliminating routes that do not meet performance measurements and do not service alternative purposes. The routes that are not cost-effective and have a low number of passengers, but are not reverse commute are not performing well. These buses could be used more efficiently elsewhere or should be used to go between the park and ride lot(s) and downtown. According to the Metropolitan Council, any reductions in services that result in a reduction in spending will be met with proportionate reductions in MVST revenue. In addition, capital funds (NTD, regional bonds) will be restricted if services are reduced. The City Council could consider eliminating the Dial -A -Ride service after the required hearing process. Plymouth could be served by Hennepin County's dial -a -ride provider at a lower Public Works Department 2011 Transit Report Page 10 frequency. The County's dial -a -ride is funded by Metropolitan Council. The Plymouth Metrolink Dial -A -Ride expenditures comprise 20% of the transit operating budget approximately $800,000). Dial -A -Ride funds could be budgeted for fixed route services. Increasing Fares The Metropolitan Council has also restricted Plymouth's ability to collect higher fares on express routes with its negotiated promise to not increase fares regionally. Regional fares were last increased in October 2008 to the current rates. The current peak express is $3.00 a ride from Plymouth to downtown. Plymouth does, however, maintain control over Plymouth Metrolink Dial -A -Ride rates and can make adjustments as necessary and reasonable with the proper hearing process. Dial -A -Ride fares were last raised by $1.00 to $3.00 per ride in January of 2009. Dial -A -Ride service hours were last changed in December 2009 to weekday service only and between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Increasing Ridership The City Council could consider increasing the frequency of trips to downtown. In order to spur an increase in ridership between Plymouth and downtown Minneapolis, Plymouth Metrolink would need to increase the frequency of trips to at least 15 minutes apart during rush hour from the three park and ride lots. This would involve reducing the number or frequency of local routes. Currently, Plymouth Metrolink does not collect or attribute fares to the local routes. However, passengers on the local routes do pay fares because they use an express route to downtown. In order to operate Plymouth Metrolink with a balanced budget given current revenue projections, ridership would have to be increased by 187,000 passengers (44%) per year. In order for Dial -a -Ride to operate with a balanced budget given current revenue projections, ridership would have to be increased by 46,700 passengers (122%) per year. Advertising Revenue The City Council could consider looking into new revenue sources. Plymouth staff, First Transit and PACT have discussed advertising revenue opportunities. Advertisers pay more for buses that are visible for a longer period of time than the Plymouth express buses. The rates vary with the types of advertising: bus wrap, posters, online advertising (wi-fi), facility advertising, and more. Bus wraps, which do not always include wrapping an entire bus, are pro -rated in proportion to the size of the wrap, the side ofthe bus (street -side versus boarding side), the length of time the bus is on the street in a 24-hour period, and the type of exposure it will receive. Staff seeks direction from the City Council on the use of advertising for revenue. Opportunities for Mergers The City Council could consider merger opportunities. There are opportunities for transit program mergers in the western suburbs. Plymouth has attempted discussions with Maple Grove to talk about merging transit programs. Maple Grove and Plymouth have similar facilities and express and dial -a -ride programs. Plymouth's local and shuttle services are unique. The city of Public Works Department 2011 Transit Report Page 11 Minnetonka is conducting a study to determine whether to exercise their option to provide their own transit service. Minnetonka is the thirteenth opt out city and currently contracts with Metro Transit for services. Staff has met with Minnetonka staff to discuss transit services in Minnetonka. Minnetonka staff has discussed services with SouthWest Transit as well. Minnetonka is an opt -out community, but has not had their funding appropriated or separated within the MVST provider distribution. Minnetonka has not informed Plymouth staff of any impending decision regarding transit at this time. They are interested in dial -a -ride and shuttle services but would like to retain their more financially viable express routes. Future of Suburban Transit Providers: Rep. Beard has plans to convene a legislative committee to study transit governance as begun when requested ofthe Office of Legislative Auditor (OLA Report, 2011). The primary suggested model is to have a regional Metropolitan Planning Organization for transit planning purposes and transit funding. This is currently one task of the Metropolitan Council. Metropolitan Transit would operate independently providing urban transit in the metropolitan core. The suburban transit providers, through the Suburban Transit Association (which could become an "authority"), would provide transit services to their cities (and possibly all the surrounding suburbs) under the direction of their communities. The STA would be the pass through agency only as the providers would still answer to their city councils or boards. End notes Minn. Stat. 2010, Sec. 2976.02. Minn.
