Amend Resolution 05-49 and Resolution 05-59 to Revise the Scope of the 40-foot and 30-foot Hybrid Electric Bus Projects to Advance Purchase and Installation of 43 Automatic Passenger Counters for the MTA's Transit Effectiveness Project – ACTION* (attachment) (unsigned resolution) The MTA and the Controller's Office began the Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP) in spring 2006 to provide a comprehensive review of the current MUNI transit service system and recommend measures to make service more efficient and attractive to the public. According to the MTA, its available ridership and service running time data does not provide meaningful information as it lacks sufficient level of detail, is outdated, and incomplete for purposes of the completing the TEP. Consequently, on June 14 the MTA submitted a request to amend the scope for two hybrid electric bus procurement projects that would allow 43 automatic passenger counters (APCs), originally intended for use on the new vehicles, to be used on its existing bus fleet for data collection for the TEP prior to December 2006. We are bringing this item directly to the Authority Board due to its time sensitivity; in order to meet the TEP's data needs according to the study timeline, the MTA would need to begin working with the contractor providing the APCs by July 1. We are still working with MTA staff to identify another fund source to provide the remaining 67 APCs needed for TEP data collection and for APCs to be installed on the hybrids in the future. At the Board meeting we will present any additional information provided by the MTA. We are seeking an amendment to Resolutions 05-49 and 05-59 to revise the scope of the 40-foot and 30-foot Hybrid Electric Bus projects to advance purchase and installation of 43 APCs for the MTA's Transit Effectiveness Project. 16.
