APPROVED BY THE MASS TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE: XX/XX/XXXX RTAC/MTC Joint Meeting Transit Plan Update Talking Points 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 three technical memorandums: •Working Paper#1 – Overview of Transit Services •Working Paper#2 – Goals, Objectives and Performance Standards •Working Paper #3 - Service and System Evaluation On-board surveys and boarding and alighting counts have also been collected on RTA and SLO Transit buses. 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 three working papers. Committee members will then have an opportunity to peruse a series of poster boards which highlight service and system evaluation data such as ridership by stop, ridership by hour, passenger origin/destination patterns and passenger requests. With this information, staff and the study team hope to give committee members a better understanding of post pandemic ridership trends, passenger mobility needs and passenger perceptions of existing service. Feedback and How Your Input Will Help: Committee members will be given 20-30 minutes to provide input directly on the poster boards and engage in discussion with transit staff and the study team. The type of feedback we are looking for will include: •Do study findings to date seem correct? Does anything surprise you? •Are we missing anything? •What do you think are the most important/needed types of improvements for SLO Transit a nd RTA? •What key themes should we focus on as we continue this study ? Your input combined with the service evaluation, on-board surveys, discussions with transit staff and operators will help the Study Team draft a list of potential changes/improvements to SLO Transit and RTA services to be evaluated as part of the next step of the plan. The objective of these potential changes or “alternatives” is to increase ridership, improve cost efficiency and better meet mobility needs of residents of both the City and County of San Luis Obispo. Attachment 2 Next Steps: Results of the “alternatives analysis” will be brought back to this committee in late May.
