ACTION: MOTION BY COMMITTEE MEMBER FRENTZEL, SECONDED BY
COMMITTEE MEMBER JUSTICE, CARRIED 6-0, to approve the Minutes of the Mass
Transportation Committee Meeting with amendments for February 8, 2017 and March 8, 2017.
ACTION ITEMS
1. Election of Officers
Committee Member Justice nominated Committee Member Andrus for Chair. Committee
Member Frentzel will not be returning next year due to his completion at Cal Poly, so suggested
Committee Member Osumi to continue in his Vice Chair position. Committee Member Andrus
requested the committee move Committee Member Osumi to Chair and offered to take the seat
as Vice Chair. New officer positions will go into effect in July 2017.
ACTION: VOTE INITIATED BY CHAIR THYNE TO NOMINATE COMMITTEE MEMBER
OSUMI AS CHAIR and COMMITTEE MEMBER ANDRUS AS VICE CHAIR, CARRIED 4-0.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
2. Committee Items
Committee Members have not received their agendas in a timely manner via postal mail. Some
members have received the agendas after the meeting has occurred. Hand delivering the
agendas or strictly emailing them was suggested. Agendas are not typically sent out early due
to possible inaccuracies.
3. Staff Items
a.) Transit Manager’s Report
For January through March 2017, Cal Poly ridership was consistently down by as much
as 10% every month. This, however, is in comparison to last year’s record setting year
when fuel prices continued to remain relatively low and Cal Poly’s Grand Ave parking
lot was closed. Though Cal Poly ridership decreased, the overall community ridership
has increased with help from sales for the 31-Day Student Pass (K-12) and the
Downtown Access Pass (DAP). Also, when viewing last year’s flex in ridership, it
appears ridership is declining when it is really returning to normal levels from previous
years. On time performance is continuously and consistently monitored and though
individual stops fluctuate in minutes, the Transit Center arrival and departure times
have been accurate.
b.) Update on Implementation of SRTP (Short Range Transit Plan)
The new fares, schedules, and routes will be implemented on Sunday, June 18. New
bus stop signs, which contain the city website and phone number, can be found at all
bus stops. There were 15 bus stops closed or consolidated and 12 new bus stops
constructed. The transit app and printed schedules were updated as well. The app can
display a single desired route or multiple for an overview. In addition to individual
route schedules, an overview map will continue to be printed and displayed in the large
DRAFT Minutes – Mass Transportation Committee Meeting of May 10, 2017 Page 3
kiosks at the Transit Center, Amtrak Station, the Promenade, and Cal Poly Kennedy
Library. Both the app and printed schedules will have the same color block features for
easy distinguishing, and every route is now split into two parts. Essentially there are
still Routes 1, 2, 3, and 4, however each route will have a dominant line (“A” route),
and a secondary line (“B” route). “A” routes will generally run later in the day, cover
slightly more service area, and operate on weekends. “A” routes will also operate
clockwise along its route, while “B” routes will operate counterclockwise along its
route.
In addition to the systemwide updates, staff will be presenting a Disadvantage Business
Enterprise (DBE) Goal to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for approval on
August 1. The purpose of this goal is to analyze the total amount of funds that are being
received for business, how many possible contracts exists, and how many women and
minority owned business are given business in relation to the whole community. This
goal will allow a percentage of money received to be directed to the minority and/or
women owned businesses.
c.) Update on Cal Poly Negotiations
Every few years the City and Cal Poly come to financial agreements for costs shared.
June 30 will mark the expiration of the one year extension, so staff has determined five
year projections for three plausible cost formulas to present to Cal Poly, each regarding
a balance that is consistent with the University and the public. These formulas consider
the percentage of Cal Poly ridership (65%), the amount of ridership overall, and the
routes that are Cal Poly dominant.
In past years, the idea of Cal Poly running their own system has been speculated, but
ultimately decided against do to many possible negative impacts.
d.) Other Updates
The new Transit Center plans are currently on hold due to the property developer
backing out for height limits, and though funding has been received it is not sufficient.
Alternates are not permitted to cast votes on Action items unless a core member is
absent. If the committee wants an Alternate accountable then the title will be eliminated
to transition to core member, therefore expanding the committee.

MEMBER ANDRUS, CARRIED 6-0, to adjourn the meeting at 4:22 p.m. until the next Regular
