In addition, RMTD also launched a project to replace its current paratransit scheduling and dispatching software with a new system.
The data released by the agency is part of the newly released 2023 Transit Service Performance Review, which details last year’s ridership trends across Metro Vancouver.
The agency's awarded Spare a $4.5 million contract to overhaul the nearly 25-year-old East Bay Paratransit system’s operating platform.
Applications can be submitted either by the operation or the solutions provider and is open to bus operations, ranging from public transit to motorcoach and paratransit to shuttle services. It is also open to passenger rail operators and their supplier partners.
The policy supports the District’s commitment to the safety of all transit worker staff, including frontline bus operators and passengers. It's designed to improve rider experience and prevent bus operator harassment.
The specially retrofitted RTC bus serves as a mobility training lab to help vulnerable populations and those with disabilities navigate the RTC transit system confidently.
The funding will help communities maintain and operate trains, buses, and ferries; upgrade stations and tracks; plan and design new transit corridors; and provide access for seniors and riders with disabilities.
The MTA recently abandoned the industry standard of a 30-minute on time window and adopted the more customer friendly 20 minutes. Even with the smaller window, on-time performance consistently exceeded 90%.
The $4.5 billion capital and operating budget proposal provides a worst-case scenario; however, WMATA’s funding partners are currently working through legislation that may reduce some of the most detrimental fare and service changes proposed.
The new website, called “Your 2023 Metro” report, gives riders detailed information about their use of public transit last year including bus and rail ridership, number of stations visited, and more.
