54 more driver hire in 2008 as well 22 other positions
14.2% increase of service hour or 87,600 hrs
7.4% increase of mileage
Satellite 2 will open in 2013 with construction starting in 11.
Replace dispatch system
Step up Hastus
Adding planning and evaluation software
143 40' expansion buses over 10 years for $78.3mil including the BRT as well replace 279 buses at $132 mil
AVL/GPS, TSP, APC 2008-2012 at a cost of $10m
42m riders boarding with 30m riders for 2007 up from 40/39 over 2006
18 additional buses deployed city wide as well 4 for the City Centre Shuttle projects in 2008
58% more service hours at peak time, 29% weekday off peak, 7% for Sat and 6% for Sunday. This will mean next to no spare buses sitting around in the yard at peak time. (now to get more service hrs for the weekend)
14.2% increase of service hrs over 2006 base line at 1,269,400 hrs
Revenue growth will go from 28 mil in 2006 to 37m by 2012. (this needs to be 50+)
Re set local feeders for City Centre, Meadowvale, Churchill and Malton over the next 3-5 years.
Limited stops on Hurontario and Dundas (going into Oakville finally)
Transit take up 41% of the city Capital budget for 2008.
In the 2007-17 budget, Transit takes up 32% of capital or $642,216m (I see no money for the LRT's in this budget)
41% of the 2007-17 capital cost has to do with High Order, 40% for buses and 19% for buildings.
Prov/Fed gas tax support will drop from $45m in 2008 to $15m in 2012.
Diesel fuel remains at $.83/liter and help the budget.
Starting in 2012, the city has to decide to continue supporting transit expansion as it will add 1-2% more to the property tax base. (Property tax without transit will be raise about 6-8% per year compare to the 3.9% in 2008.)
There is another $80m for Rapid Transit budget to be spent over the next 5 years upgrading passengers facilities and ITS and some will be spent on Hurontatio. (This is under the BRT budget of all thing.)
$4.4m to be spent over the next 2 years for Hurontario Rapid Transit EA. (This is too long as I have sat on EA projects from Day one and we completed it in one year. I have yet to see the Term of Reference that is require to get the EA underway. Under the new EA which is streamline now for transit, you by step a few tings to the point you can say why type of equipment will be used from day one. ) (This needs to be finish in 2008 so an RFP can be issue for a design and construct of the LRT. Construction could start in 2009 with completion in 2012-15 in various stages depending where the carhouse is located.)
2008 will see funding from Transportation to rebuild the Huontario/401 bridge over the next few years, Bridge for Ridgeway over the 403 (a new route for MT),
Confederation from Burnhamthrope to the Queensway, McLaughilin Rd bridge (effect 66), Creditview Bancroft to Argentia (effect 34), Start of the Creekbank extension over the 401 with the bridge in 2010. (will offer another route for MT) (note some construction is already started.)
BRT Federal EA to be completed in 2008 and approved (have seen nothing so far)
Cost of the BRT is still at $259m (I expect to see this go up and the city will be picking up that cost since both level will not. The feds still have not sign the agreement for the funding and expected to do so by the end of Nov.)
Preliminary design in 2008 and chance to update the cost.
Property acquisition in 2008/9
Detail design in 2008/9
Construction start in 2008-12 (more like 9)
Operation 2012
