Background on Cochrane Transit• 2010 - Working with Calgary Transit, the Town of Cochrane considers the feasibility of a regional/local transit

system

• 2011 - Cochrane was approved for $9 million of GreenTRIP funding for the creation of local and regional transit service

• A number of regional and local transit options were created using input from private consultants, community members, regional partners, and internal staff

• Transit plans have focused on fixed routes, but have failed to be approved by Council to reach a point of implementation

• Cochrane has until 2021 to use the GreenTRIP funding

• Transit Task Force Committee tasked with advising on the consideration and development of a local transit service within the Town of Cochrane


REVISED

Acting in an advisory capacity with Town Administration for the consideration and development for a local Transit service within the Town of Cochrane.

MEMBERSHIP Mayor, appointed as Chair of the Task ForceTwo (2) Town Councillors One (1) Family and Community Support Services and Social Planning Advisory Board Member One (1) Cochrane Society for Housing Options (CSHO) Representative Four (4) Public at Large (including one senior and one youth and two representatives from the Business Community, if possible).

The functions of this task force include:• Giving consideration to previous studies, reports and information on the feasibility of a local transit system in Cochrane, working with

the designated Town Staff to conduct and consider research, analysis and public consultation on the following:• evolutions in the transit industry (including on-demand service) as an option for Cochrane; • validation of bus routes and bus stop locations for each option; • development of bus fare strategy for each option; • phasing plan for local transit service (e.g. on demand to fixed route), if necessary; • validation of bus fleet types for each option; and • any additional information on service standards.

• Following analysis of all options and a robust public engagement process, assist Town Staff in determination of final options and recommend an option to be presented to Council on implementation strategies, costs and timelines.

• Comply with the Town of Cochrane Procedural Bylaw and Municipal Government Act

AUTHORITY

TERM January 2018 – December 2018

COCHRANE TRANSIT TASK FORCE TERMS OF REFERENCE

Why Consider Local Transit? • Meets the goals and objectives of the Town

• Provides greater mobility and independence in the community

• Potential to reduce traffic congestion and reduce green house gas emission

• Reduce the overreliance on paratransit providers and subsidy system (CAR Program)

• Reduce the number of foregone trips (e.g. shopping, medical, work, social) and increase consumer surplus

• Grow local economy by attracting businesses by meeting their public transit criteria

• Stakeholder engagement found residents in Cochrane expect public transit to be available in some form in the future

On Demand Routing &Mobility as a Service

(MaaS)

Evolutions in the IndustryOn Demand Transit• Mix of ride hailing technology with traditional transit • Trips booked/paid for through a smart phone app, computer, and by phone • On demand technology provides the driver with an optimal route to pick-up and

drop-off riders• Pick-up/drop-off at established stops, points, or door-to-door• User profiles and family accounts • Real time info: live updates on location, delays, available seats/wheelchair

spots/bicycle racks• Live maps: computer, phone, help desk tablets, onboard bus screen• Historic data: Origin-destination data, routes taken, trip times, cancellations,

customer satisfaction


Evolutions in the IndustryLet’s Talk Local Transit

Mobility as a Service (MaaS)Using the application software we can provide a mix of transportation options:• Local transit• Regional transit• Ride-sharing (carpooling)• Ride-hailing (Uber, Lyft, etc.)• Taxi / shuttle service• Bike sharing

On-demand Transit Benefits • Starting with on demand transit enables grassroots

development of future fixed routes determined by actual demand

• More suitable for low density communities with more efficient service coverage as distant stops are demand dependent

• Understanding transit demand can help to create a better integration of local transit with other transit services: regional, paratransit, and school

• Promotes the Town as a progressive and innovative place


On Demand Transit Scenario

Fixed Route Scenario 3

Airdrie, AB. – Door to Bus Stop On Demand Transit In September 2017, Airdrie consolidated bus routes and replaced their Dial-A-Bus Service with OnDemand Transit. This change has allowed for:

• 100% service coverage as residents more than 450 meters away from a bus stop are now able to

request a pickup from their door and be dropped off at a transfer station.

• Improved operating efficiencies by reducing fixed route distances.

• Enhanced customer experience with a more robust service.

• Fixed routes costed an average of $29.26 per trip compared to $6.26 per trip with On Demand.


Transit Provider Partnerships

Let’s Talk Local TransitRocky View Handibus Society • “Not just Handibus, it is a community bus. Filling a gap in transit needs, and will continue to fill gaps for

those in need”

• Increasing demand each year - 28% increase in Cochrane uses from 2,652 trips in 2016 to 3,382 trips Jan. to Sept. 2017)

• Wide range of people use Handibus service – many could benefit from local transit system (able to walk 400meters to bus stop)

• Would help remove some of the demand for Handibus service so they could focus on door-to-door service dependent riders

• Willing to provide data and work together on a pilot project

Let’s Talk Local TransitSouthland Transportation • Provides regional and school transit in/around the Cochrane area • Interested in integrating these systems with local transit• Willing to be a part of a pilot project where Southland:

• Operates the service providing customer support, drivers, fuel, maintenance • Offers on-demand software/app (through Spare Labs), vehicle hardware, and cellular data

• Already creating on-demand transit scenarios based on Transit Task Force feedback

Let’s Talk Local TransitRocky View Schools• Provides busing to 11 schools in Cochrane • Interested in integrating with local transit, but sees many limitations:

• Same peak operations • Pays for an extra hour on each bus (free mid-day)• Schools cannot increase their costs even for greater service• Local system cannot handle capacity of students

• Possibility of older students (15/16+) using local transit for greater independence.

• Younger students that missed their school bus can use local transit

Cost of Transportation Per Household in AlbertaOn transportation, Canadian households spent an average of $11,909 in 2016.The largest portion ($10,660) went toward private transportation, which includes spending on the purchase of cars, trucks and vans, as well as their operating costs.

The remaining $1,249 went to public transportation, which covers spending on public transit, taxis, intercity buses, trains and air fares.

Households in Alberta ($15,318) and Saskatchewan ($14,522) spent the most on transportation among all the provinces while households in Quebec ($9,652) spent the least.

This was largely due to households in Alberta ($13,771) and Saskatchewan ($13,620) spending a higher amount on private transportation (for purchasing and operating a personal vehicle) than those in Quebec ($8,824).

To a lesser extent, it was also due to households in Alberta ($1,547) spending more on public transportation than Quebec ($828).Households in Saskatchewan spent a similar amount ($902) to Quebec.” (Statistics Canada, 2016).

Departure Times

Peak Morning Hours: 6:00am to 9:00am = Total of 8,675 commuters

Scenario: 4 Local Transit buses with 20 riders each connecting to 2 Regional Buses 80 riders every 30 min = 480 peak hour riders Number of Commuters Possible on transit: 480 of the 8,675 commuters = 5.5% of commuters on regional transit during peak hours

“Even small reductions in congestion can produce large benefits. On congested roads, reducing traffic by 5% can increase traffic speeds by up to 50%” (Martin & Thornton, 2017) (ex. 30km/hr to 45km/hr)

Local buses can:• Feed larger regional buses to stop the need for large coach buses to pick-up/drop-off on local roads • Allow for a better regional time span (current three morning routes: first stop 5:45am last stop 6:32am)• Allow for 100% coverage to access regional transit

Saving 5 minutes Scenario5 minutes off the roundtrip of Cochrane commuters with an average commute over 30 minutes per direction (7,120 Commuters)

Time Savings of Cochrane CommutersTime saved on commuting 5 minutes x 5days x 52weeks = 21.5 hours per commuter/yearFor commuters with commutes over 30 minutes per direction (7,120) = 153,080 hours

Time Value Savings of Cochrane CommutersAssuming the value of each commuters’ time at minimum wage $15 per hour = $1.25 per 5 minutes (1.25)(5days)(52 weeks) = $325 per commuter For all 7120 commuters = $2,314,000 of time savings

Fuel Savings of Cochrane CommutersNatural Resources Canada (2015) finds on average a 3-liter engine burns 150 millilitres of fuel over 5 minutes of idling and a 5 liter engine burns 250 millilitres.At $1.25 per liter over a year (150mililiters)(5days)(52weeks)/1000(1.25) = $60.94 per commuterFor all 7120 peak commuters = $433,893.80For a 5-liter engine (250mililiters)(5days)(52weeks)/1000(1.25) = $81.25 per commuter

On Demand Transit Cost Estimate Scenario



Ride Hailing Alternative

Ride-hailing Company PartnershipExample of Innisfil, ON • Town of Innisfil hired Uber to provide public transit May 2017

• $3 or $5 trips to/from 10 locations and $5 discount for other trips

• First 7.5 months cost $147,234 in subsidizing 26,688 trips ($5.52 per trip)

• Uber predicts Innisfil ridership will rise into 2019 before leveling off

• Uber not willing to share if Innisfil partnership is actually profitable.

Ride-hailing Company PartnershipConcerns:• Uber has not yet turned a profit

• Ride-hailing services do little to reduce traffic congestion or greenhouse gas emissions

• Rideshare companies are difficult to attract in rural locations, and their entry into public transit market has been limited

• Rural communities face a greater risk than bigger cities with multiple modes where it’s not the end of the world when a private-transit option fails

• Studies find ride-hailing works best in conjunction with public transit (not as public transit)

• Drivers decide when they want to work, and have the ability to ignore ride requests too distant or considered inconvenient

• Taxi service handles paratransit users (same fare as Uber) but must call in and book a few days in advance

• No option for monthly passes for students, elderly, or low-income users


Amended GreenTRIP Application – Approved June 22, 2017

• Fleet – 8 shuttle buses - $2.0 million

• Bus Stop Infrastructure - $1.0 million (estimated 130 bus stops)

• Land for Downtown Transit Hub - $2.0 million (already purchased)

• Plan, Design & Construct Downtown Transit Hub - $3.5 million

• On-demand, Fare and Information Systems – $0.5 million
