SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Each of the following tasks will be documented in a draft Technical Memorandum. The <br /> memoranda will be incorporated into a draft Final Report for the study. Following review by the <br /> City, the Final Report will be prepared. A six-month schedule is proposed for completion of the <br /> Draft Final Report. Following a review period, the project would be completed with the Final <br /> Report. <br /> Task 1: Data Collection <br /> Base Map— <br /> During this task, Corradino will establish a profile of the fixed-route transit system. Corradino <br /> will use currently available maps and data to depict the system. A computerized map of the fixed <br /> routes will be prepared to allow for graphic presentation of existing services and proposed <br /> recommendations. <br /> Boarding/Alighting Survey— <br /> It is important to understand how routes are perfo�ning. The best way to define system <br /> performance is to conduct a 100 percent boarding/alighting survey. During the survey, <br /> Corradino would identify ons/offs by stop for an entire day in the system, schedule adherence, <br /> and other related data. This will allow Corradino to conduct an in-depth performance analysis of <br /> the fixed routes. Graphics will be prepared that show how each route is performing at the <br /> performance level. In addition Corradino will develop performance analyses that identify 1). <br /> routes that are performing acceptably(generally considered to be over 80% of the system <br /> average for passengers per hour), 2). routes that need modification (50%to 80% of the system <br /> average), and 3). routes that may need to be replaced with alternative service (operating under <br /> 50% of the system average). <br /> Passenger Survey— <br /> Corradino will also conduct a survey of the transit system riders. This survey will be an <br /> attitudinal survey and will identify passenger characteristics, perceptions, and related <br /> information. <br /> System Profile— <br /> Corradino will collect from the City detailed operations data on the fixed-route transit system <br /> and develop a cost allocation model to accurately define costs. Information on revenue hours <br /> and miles,platform hours and miles, capital equipment(vehicles, shelters, structures, etc.), and <br /> other operations information will be collected and put into tabular format. <br /> Summary— <br /> The data collected in this task will provide a basis for future analysis activities and also give the <br /> Decatur Public Transit System a performance benchmark. <br /> Decatur Public Transit System <br /> Transit Planning Study 1 S <br />
