Fleet Replacement and Allocation Methodology TPAC May 10, 2018

Issue Update fleet replacement and allocation methodology to consider actual vehicle utilization Based on findings and recommendation in COR

Current Methodology Current formula approved by Board in 2014 One (1) vehicle for every 400 monthly trips Covers about 70% of trips 400:1 formula has served as a good guideline, but recent trends have proved formula limited

Comprehensive Operational Review Challenge hiring/retaining drivers and reliance on taxis Some contractors can provide same level and quality of service with fewer vehicles Examine contractor’s utilization of vehicles Potential costs savings by adjusting the number of vehicles supplied to each contractor

Example in the COR If the goal was 7.25-8.0 revenue hours per day, per vehicle:   Replacement Needs Current DSV Utilization Utilization Factor Allocated/ Reserved Vehicles Eastern 48 5.17 VH / day 0.71 34/14 West Central 45 6.89 VH / day 0.95 43/2 Southern 80 7.24 VH / day 1.00 80/0 Northern 19 7.77 VH / day 1.06 19/0 Benchmarks 192 7.25 VH / day 1.0 176/16 Access staff would examine possibility of replacing only 176 out of 192 vehicles

Considerations Staff will consider a number of factors: Contractor’s operating model Use of taxi subcontractors Long lead time in purchasing paratransit vehicles Trip demand projections Contracts up for bid in the near future Incremental changes over years

Updated Methodology Fleet Replacement and Allocation Methodology: 400:1 as guide for service demand / new contracts Utilization goal of 7.25-8.0 to determine vehicle replacement needs
