  4. Ridership growth rates – Why have they slowed? VRE • Limited available seating • Parking shortages Bus • Fare increase reduced OmniLink ridership more than anticipated • Transitional difficulties resulting from contractor change

  5. FY04 Bus Service Improvements • PRTC Website enhancement (August 03) • Delivery of 8 MCI buses (September 03) • Implementation of Fare/Ticketing Plan Phase I (October 03) • Added trips to relieve crowding (October 03 and February 04) • MDTs Phase I operational (November 03) • Customers’ perceptions of service quality have rebounded (January 04), marking end of transition – better now in most areas than WMATA at its best

  6. FY04 Rail Service Improvements • Gallery cars introduced to expand seating capacity (November 03 and incrementally thereafter) • New ticket vending machines fully implemented (January 04) • Expanded parking to ease shortage at Rippon (March 04) • New AMTRAK agreement through end of FY05 (March 04) to afford time for negotiation of longer-term agreement • Train tracking program enhancement (“Train Brain”) implemented (March 04)

  7. FY05 Background Observations • Follows Commission's adopted budget principles • Summary of principles • “Existing service expansion” allowance to handle ridership growth • Phase II fare/ticketing plan for bus services deferred to FY06 • Bus service formerly supported by reimbursable funding to be sustained with local funds • Additional Ride/Link services: • Saturday Link service for easterly Link routes • Linton Hall Ride service • Ridgefield Road Ride service • OmniLink subsidy allocation formula change adopted by Commission to achieve equitable cost sharing • Embraces PRTC share of VRE budget as accepted by commissions

  8. Anticipated FY05 Outcomes -- Bus • New all-time ridership high • Continued gains in customer satisfaction • Award contract for as many as 21 OmniRide buses • Delivery of 18 Gillig buses • New fareboxes installed • Rehabilitation of 17 OmniRide buses • Land Acquisition/Environmental Assessment for Transit Center parking expansion • Updated bus service improvement plan
