Managers' Report
a. Ridership Summary and Evening Service Ridership Review
Eudaley-Loebach reviewed ridership statistics and reported ridership by hour shows passengers are able
to travel later in the evening and The Jule is able to provide additional rides after 6pm in FY18.
November ridership is higher than it was in November of last year and ridership tracking should be
more accurate going forward as an updated was pushed out by the software provider correcting issues
with ride tracking discovered last fiscal year.
b. Jule Operations and Training Center Update
Final preparations including furniture delivery and installation, keying, and fiber/internet connectivity.
Move-in is expected for mid- to late-January.
Goals for FY19— FY24 Budpets
Board members reviewed the list of projects developed previously and consolidated the project list into three
primary priority categories: outreach/communications, capital improvements and infrastructure, and service
expansion. Jule staff will organize the edits and the Transit Advisory Board will finalize goals and rankings in
the January meeting.
Annual Youth Pass Review
The Transit Advisory Board reviewed youth ridership and pass usage trends to consider appropriate pass options
and costs for K-12 youth passengers. The Board discussed a long-term goal of developing different pass options
for youth based on frequency of ridership and/or duration of the pass. Staff will bring additional analysis of youth
pass usage to the February meeting.
