APPROVED BY THE MASS TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE: XX/XX/XXXX RTAC/MTC Joint Meeting #2 Transit Plan Update Talking Points June 5, 2024 Project Overview: The San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and San Luis Obispo Transit (SLO Transit) are the two largest public transit providers in San Luis Obispo County. The two agencies have retained LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. to update each agency’s respective Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). A transit plan acts as a business plan for the transit agency for the next five to seven years. At this point in the study, the consultant has prepared four technical memorandums: •Working Paper#1 – Overview of Transit Services •Working Paper#2 – Goals, Objectives and Performance Standards •Working Paper #3 - Service and System Evaluation •Working Paper #4 – Service Alternatives On-board surveys and boarding and alighting counts have also been collected on RTA and SLO Transit buses. Second Joint RTAC/MTC Meeting Purpose: As committee members, public transit riders, stakeholders or other interested members of the public, transit staff and the study team would like your input on data/information collected to date. At the meeting, the consultant will give a short presentation of important findings from the alternatives working paper. This paper analyzes ridership and cost impacts of a variety of potential changes/improvements to RTA and SLO Transit services. Note that capital and fare alternatives will be discussed in a later memo. Committee members will then have an opportunity to provide input on the recommendations. Feedback and How Your Input Will Help: The type of feedback we are looking for will include: •Do you support the options presented? •Are there any major issues that we haven’t considered for each alternative? •Other suggestions for the alternatives analysis? Your input combined with input received at three public meetings held throughout the county and staff comments will be used to select preferred service alternatives to bring forward to the Draft Plan. Next Steps: The Administrative Draft Plan will be brought back to this committee in late September or early October.
