Home My WebLink AboutFY 2017 Transportation AgencyIV. Fiscal Year 2016 Challenges (continued) Bus Service at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) In late June 2015, The County was notified that bus service onto the base at PMRF would need to be halted as of July 1, 2015 due to additional increases in federal security clearance requirements for entry onto the base. Bus riders were immediately notified of the service limitation, and the Kaua'i Bus has continued to transport approximately 5 riders to and from the base entrance. Riders have arranged for alternative methods of transportation beyond the security gate . Larger Transit Buses The implementation of utilizing larger transit buses for peak fixed route service is an initiative that has been delayed due to ongoing requests for review and consideration by the driver's union regarding the potential impacts oflarger vehicles on the existing classification of driver positions. A request has been made for the union to provide management with the specific concerns needing to be addressed, which will then be utilized to determine the next step required to proceed with assigning the larger vehicles to the high-ridership routes. Meanwhile, the vehicles donated to Kaua'i County by the City & County of Honolulu continue to be taken on bi-weekly runs to keep them in good running condition. V. Fiscal Year 2017 Goals and Objectives Il l ! Bus Stop Passenger Shelters ~~ As noted in the Fiscal Year 2016 Successes and Achievements section, the Transportation Agency received $600 ,000 in funding from the State legislature in 2015 , and along with over $300,000 in County CIP funds, recently awarded a contract to complete bus stop improvements, including shelters with lighting, bicycle racks, and trash receptacles at 17 locations across the island. The County has also been provided $1,500,000 in additional funding from the legislature to shelter an estimated 26 additional bus stops in Phase III of construction. The Transportation Agency will be proceeding with the bid for Phase III by June 2016, and anticipates having the remaining bus stop shelters completed by the summer of 201 7 . Il l ! Short-Range Transit Plan ~~ The Transportation Agency and Planning Department are working collaboratively to carry out the successful completion of the Short-Range Transit Plan, which will include significant outreach efforts, conduct extensive research of existing fixed route and paratransit bus service, and will provide recommendations on changes and additions to bus routes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of bus service on the island, while working to achieve the goals included in the Kaua'i Multimodal Land Transportation Plan. 2017 Budget Presentation Page 5 VI. Fiscal Year 2017 Goals and Objectives (continued) Short-Range Transit Plan (continued) .,. iJl id rzl ---zoz o- Paratransit service performance will be thoroughly evaluated with a goal of determining whether services are being offered in the most cost effective manner possible. Actions to be taken include staff interviews, stakeholder/community outreach efforts, and a paratransit service plan to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of paratransit bus service on Kaua'i. The paratransit evaluation will include task-level deliverables related to procedures and policies, technology, staffing needs , eligibility requirements and the certification process, travel training, transit integration strategies to shift trips or part of trips to fixed route service, Medicaid reimbursement for paratransit trips, fare structure, fleet and maintenance needs, and organizational structures and agreements. New bus schedules , fixed route, and paratransit service brochures are included in the scope of the contract, and will be developed that will significantly improve the quality and readability of information being provided for the public. The resulting new and updated formats will be provided in print, and will also be utilized to update the quality of information offered for the public on the Agency web site. The Short-Range Transit Plan will also provide recommendations for identifying locations and funding for satellite base yards to support transit expansion, and a financial plan to accomplish the recommended goals . A draft plan is preliminarily scheduled to be available for presentation to the County Council by the spring of 2017. Bus Stop Adoption The Transportation Agency would like to explore establishing a bus stop adoption program, and has requested the reallocation of a part-time position to carry out special initiatives such as developing a bus shelter adoption program . The adoption program would define how best to coordinate the repair and maintenance needs at each stop with the resources available for bus stop maintenance through volunteer groups, Public Works, and Parks & Recreation. Increases in Bus Service Efficiency Actions already being undertaken are anticipated to contribute to greater efficiencies in public transit operations, beginning next fiscal year. As team members continue to excel in learning and applying the capabilities of the new scheduling software recently installed, additional adjustments to existing routing will be identified and employed to increase the efficiency of both paratransit and fixed route bus service. Additionally, the initiative of placing larger vehicles in service on peak service time routes will provide greater passenger capacity and comfort for riders with minimal additional expense. Increased operating efficiencies will allow for the redirection of resources to areas needing additional service. 2017 Budget Presentation Page 6 VIII.
