Utilize the best technologies and innovations available that offer both enhanced systems and positive return on investment.
Encourage a connected, sustainable, and efficient multimodal transportation system throughout Volusia County’s urban service area.

10. Proposed Service Alternatives – Estimated Ridership
Transit Boardings Estimation and Simulation Tool (TBEST) – FDOT approved model for projecting ridership
Does not factor land uses
Utilizes system connectivity, convenience (frequency), population growth, time of day variations, spatial and temporal accessibility
42% ridership growth with service improvements implemented

11. Proposed Capital Improvements
Technology-based:
Real-time bus arrival information and applications
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for convenient paratransit bookings
Reloadable fare cards and mobile fare payment
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) to provide bus priority at traffic signals in congested areas
Wi-Fi on buses

12. Proposed Capital Improvements
Other capital:
Facility expansion
Administration and operations facility
West side transfer facility – Orange City
ADA improvements
Bus stop amenities (shelters, benches, bike racks, etc.)
Safety/access ( lighting, landscaping, etc.)
Vehicle replacement/expansion – fixed-route bus and Gold service

13. Financial Plan Status quo services funded with inflationary increases
Operating and Capital improvements beyond existing levels will require new funding sources
Estimated cost for each alternative will be provided
Improvements identified based on need, actual implementation will be determined by funding availability
Potential future revenue sources will be identified

Dedicated funding challenge
Note: FY 2017 capital revenue includes carryover funding, of which $10 million dollars has been committed for prior year obligations. This funding is still shown as available until drawn down, but would reduce the FY 2017 net capital contingency to $8.7 million and the ten year ending net capital contingency to $27.7 million.

16. Next Steps Submittal to FDOT – November 1, 2016
