Agenda Report

DATE: May 12, 2020 SUBJECT: Briefing on DARTzoom Bus Network Concept

RECOMMENDATION

This is a briefing item. No action is required at this time.

BUSINESS PURPOSE

• This briefing will assist DART in achieving Board Strategic Priority 1: Continually improveservice and safety expectations and perceptions for customers and the public; and StrategicPriority 2: Optimize and preserve (state of good repair) the existing transit system.

• This briefing is the latest in a series of briefings concerning aspects of the DART Bus NetworkRedesign, which aims to modernize DART’s current bus service network. Staff and consultantswill continue to provide updates throughout the next 15-18 months as study activities continue.

• Because of COVID-19, funding used for the bus network redesign will be limited to the busresources that are ultimately approved by the Board of Directors in the FY21 Financial Plan.This is likely to be less than our original assumptions, which were based upon the FY20Financial Plan.

• DART is still evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on sales taxes and farebox revenues. Theexact percentage impact on the resources available for the bus network redesign will not beknown until the final budget is approved by the Board of Directors later in the budget process.

• The May briefing will provide updates on our initial online public involvement activities andmore detailed review and analysis of City-level impacts of the Ridership and Coverage busnetwork concepts.

• DART has now conducted seven online webinars and telephone town hall meetings, starting onApril 23, 2020 and continuing through April 29, 2020. The first webinar was particularlywell-attended, with nearly 90 participants.

• The two concepts were developed between January 21 and January 30, 2020, through thecollective efforts of the staff from the 13 service area cities, DART staff, and the Jarrett Walker& Associates consultant team.

• The Choices Report shows that the High Ridership Concept devotes 85% of DART’s busoperating budget toward routes with high ridership potential and only 15% of the budget towardcoverage routes.

• Conversely, the High Coverage Concept devotes 60% of DART bus operating budget to highridership routes and 40% toward coverage routes.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4

Briefing on Bus Network 5/7/2020 2:55:51 PM1

• The existing DART bus network allocates 55% of the bus financial resources toward ridershipgoals and 45% toward coverage goals.

• The analysis of city-level impacts show how the existing transit network, the Coverage Concept,and the Ridership Concept affect access to transit service within a ½ mile walking distance.Presentation slides will show access for residents, jobs, low-income residents, and minorityresidents.

• Following the May 12 briefing, DART will continue to work on refining our analysis of thenetwork concepts, and to find ways to safely engage with customers, stakeholders, and others aswe continue our public involvement efforts.
