  2. Overview • TDP Purpose • Plan Elements • Vision Plan • Status Quo Plan • Action Program • Next Steps

  3. Transit Development Plan • Multi-year business plan • Situation Appraisal • Issues affecting HART • Anticipated revenues • Prioritized service and capital projects • FDOT requirement • Major update every 5 years • Annual progress updates • Provides framework for revised strategic plan • Assessment, priorities and strategies

  4. Issues Affecting Transit • Population growth • 1.23 Million in 2010 1 • 20% increase since 2000 • Higher growth in unincorporated county – 30%; 17% for cities • 70.6% increase in Hispanic or Latino population • Additional growth projected • 1.73 Million – 2035 (38% increase) 2 • 1.47 Million – 2021 (17% increase)3 • 2010 US Census • MPO 2035 LRTP Projection • Interpolation of MPO 2035 LRTP projection

  10. Fixed Route Implications • Strong ridership growth • 14.6% ridership increase: 2006 – 2010* • 14% increase: 1st 8 months of FY2011 • More productive service • Result of past service restructuring efforts • Service modifications-proposed FY12 budget (6% )** • Impacts ridership (2% decline) • * Ridership per GFI farebox data • ** Service reductions represented as total miles (compared to FY 11 budget)

  12. Paratransit Implications • Strong Ridership Growth • 65% increase 2006-2010 • 18% increase – 1st 8 months of FY2011 • Service reductions from other agencies contribute to ridership growth • High service cost • $33.35/passenger trip * • Stringent federal requirements • Continued focus on efficiency strategies • * Proposed FY 12 budget

  13. Revenue • Continued decline in ad valorem • 21% between FY2008 and FY2012 (Projected with .5 mil) • 27% decline with .4682 mil • Uncertainty and potential reductions • Ad valorem exemptions • Federal and State funding
