Pope, Ma r ATTEST: — C) - 9 A Re cc ' arza, City Se-crew J Man'drell, TENT: anager -Citibus APPROVED AS TO FO 1{i: Rya r e, s,-'stant City Attomey CONTRACTOR: ctor's Signature Jeffrey C. Hodsdon Printed Name Principal Title GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. SCOPE OF WORK Exhibit A City of Lubbock - Citibus requests proposals from qualified firms or consultant teams ("Vendors") to undertake a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) of its current local fixed -route bus, complementary paratransit services and demand responsive services. This analysis should lead to recommendations for program and service design and improvements for overall system efficiency and operational effectiveness. Citibus has reached the point where the current bus routes seemingly do not serve the City of Lubbock as effectively and efficiently as they once did. People have moved and developments have occurred outside of the current fixed route system which has resulted in flattened or declined ridership. The primary goals of the COA effort include: 1. Thoroughly review the current system, evaluating efficiency and effectiveness of each route and service. 2. Offer quality opportunities for public and rider input into the study process to ensure that we fully understand their needs and issues. This may include some less -traditional approaches to obtaining input. 3. Thoroughly review available data on travel patterns and demographics to help analyze whether the current fixed -route network is adequately addressing potential demand and population/employment changes. 4. Explore potential service changes that could better invest limited available service resources to improve ridership over the next 5-10 years. 5. Explore non-traditional transit options such as micro -transit, express service, first mile/last mile, and/or hybrid models that would potentially increase ridership and serve more of the city/community. 6. Identify gaps in coverage, service quality, and/or resources that will be needed to fully and adequately address our changing population and commute patterns -- what should we be doing that we are not able to address right now with current resources? 7. Ensure that existing and future services are fully compliant with Title VI requirements so that services are provided on an equitable basis throughout the service area. 8. Improve connectivity between Citibus and SPARTAN, the rural provider, in the areas of the city where there currently is no bus service. The focus of COA recommendations will be on optimization of existing transit service (i.e., improved service deployment and operating metrics through efficient allocation of service hours and miles, reallocate resources to highest transit uses areas), improved transit mobility (i.e., improved transit service levels and connectivity, redesigned/direct service, improved schedule adherence, etc.), and improved cost effectiveness (i.e., lower cost per rider, improved farebox recovery ratio) to optimize the efficiency of Citibus' bus system. Project Overview Citibus seeks to optimally allocate its resources to provide the highest quality of service to the community in order to maximize ridership and define an on -going evaluation methodology. Citibus currently operates fixed -route service from 5:25 a.m. through 7:45 p.m. Monday Friday and 6:45 a.m. through 7:55 p.m. on Saturday. Citibus does not currently provide any service on Sunday. Peak service levels are provided in the morning and late afternoon, Monday — Friday, with thirty (30) minute service. During off-peak hours Citibus service Ievels increase to one (1) hour intervals. Saturday service is considered to be off-peak all day with one (1) hour intervals. The Citibus bus network operates 81 vehicles with an average weekday ridership of 2,915 passenger trips and an average Saturday ridership of 1,395 passenger trips. Citibus works hand -in -hand with the rural provider, SPARTAN Transportation, to ensure all passengers are provided service. The City of Lubbock has been increasingly annexing land for development and Lubbock's population has been growing approximately 2% annually. According to a 2015 Census estimate, Lubbock had a population of 252,506, making it the 83rd most populace city in the United States, and the I Ith most populace city in the state ofTexas. Lubbock is expected to cross the 300,000 population mark by 2040 with most of the population growth occurring in south and southwest Lubbock. College students play a large part in the population increase. There are estimated to be nearly 50,000 students attending college in the Lubbock area. There are numerous "grey" service areas in Lubbock due to the population growth and aggressive annexation. With a thorough and Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), Citibus can refine its service to better accommodate the citizens of Lubbock and the surrounding areas by allowing them to access jobs in the growing business districts, shopping in many new retail developments, as well as the many social service agencies and educational opportunities Lubbock has to offer. As the city continues to annex property, the need for Citibus to fill the transportation gaps has increased significantly. Medical facilities have an increased presence on the northwest and west side of Lubbock. In addition to the emergent medical facilities, Citibus receives several calls daily to provide service to growing businesses in Lubbock that include areas outside of Loop 289 northeast/northwest/south/southwest/west) and west of 127. The COA is intended to evaluate and restructure Citibus' fixed route and demand -responsive services. Non- traditional transit options such as micro -transit, express service, first mile/last mile, and/or hybrid models shall be considered where appropriate for specific situations. Project Objectives The Vendor shall: 1. Analyze the performance of Citibus' fixed -route and demand -responsive local services, including: a) Existing fixed -route running times compared to scheduled; b) Spatial and temporal ridership patterns within fixed routes; c) Spatial and temporal ridership patterns within demand -response services; d) Review of land -use, population, and travel data to identify portions of the city that are relatively over- or under -served. 2. Examine the efficiency and effectiveness of the current system: a) Review of the transit route structure and demand response service design; b) Review of the service levels including transit service frequencies as well as time of the day, evening and weekend coverage; c) Document On -Time Performance and identify causes of problems in meeting standards and expectations. 3. Offer quality opportunities for public and rider input into the study process to ensure that we fully understand their needs and issues through various methods. 4. Develop recommendations to address service needs, including but not limited to: a) New fixed route services, demand -response programs, and other suitable alternatives; b) Discontinuation of non -productive routes, route segments, or services; c) Revised running times, headways, schedules, and/or service span by route; d) Realignment of existing services; e) Replacement of fixed -route service with demand -response service, or vice -versa; f) Modification of demand -response service programs potentially including deletion of existing programs and implementation of new programs. 5. Identify methodologies for the on -going evaluation of the fixed -route and demand -response systems. 6. Document expected future system needs based on housing and development plans and projections for the local area. Resources Citibus will provide all available information and resources, which may facilitate this study, to the Vendor. Some of these resources are identified below. The Vendor should propose any additional information that may be helpful in its analysis. 1. Previous fixed route study that was conducted in 2013. 2. Ridership Data for fixed route and demand responsive services. 3. Financial Data including all available funding and budget information. 4. Customer Requests for Service is a list of active service requests that have not yet been addressed 5. Schedules/Blocking/Runcuts 6. Operating statistics including on -time percentage 7. Route Maps of the fixed route system 8. Demographic and Community Data 9. Vendor shall identify any additional information that it expects will be needed to perform complete and correct analysis. Citibus will identify the availability of that data and provide it if possible. Expectations 1. Roles of Vendor and Citibus This project will be conducted primarily by the Vendor, working alongside Citibus staff where staff expertise and knowledge are needed. 2. Work Tasks The Vendor shall complete those tasks as spelled out in its approach to the project, which are negotiated in the final scope of work. Specific tasks/deliverables required by Citibus include: a) Establishment ofa consistent set of achievable performance standards/measures; b) Identification of unserved/underserved ridership generators and connection opportunities; c) Measurement of On -Time Performance and identification of issues preventing achievement of on - time service delivery; d) Review of data only as required to fill in gaps or errors in the necessary information to perform analysis; e) Deliver current route information and proposed route revisions along with a suggested structure for maintaining the data going forward; f) Identify market and community trends and their likely influences on transit needs for the next 5 to 10 years; g) Identify alternative transit programs not currently offered by Citibus and evaluate situations in which those are likely to successfully supplement and/or replace current fixed -route and demand -response services. This analysis shall include both motorized and non -motorized modes to the extent they are relevant. h) Perform system analysis equivalent to the Title VI Program requirements identified in FTA Circular 4702.1 B to ensure compliance. i) Identification of proposed changes to each fixed -route service and demand -response program as well as potential system -level changes j) Detailed listings for each proposed change of operating data (hours, miles, span, frequency). k) A system -level plan identifying several phases of changes starting with those changes most critical to agency success and reflecting a growth in hours over a five year period. 1) Develop public and rider input opportunities to fully understand and document their needs and issues. 3. Reports The Vendor shall develop draft reports on each task and submit these reports, as they are completed, to Citibus for review and comment. The Vendor shall prepare a Draft Final Report which summarizes all the task reports and includes: an executive summary; narrative description of the work performed; the project objectives met; methodologies used; analyses of the data collected utilizing charts, tables, graphs, and maps; and specific recommendations based on the results of the analysis. After Citibus reviews, the Vendor shall prepare a Final Report incorporating comments from the Draft Final Report. 4.

SPECIAL PROJECT TYPE PROVISIONS - the following addenda are attached and endorsed as appropriate: NIA . A. Construction or Architectural & Engineering Projects B. Transit Operations or Management Projects C. Intelligent Transportation System or Research & Development LSC will strive to deliver a project that is innovative and creative in its approach with a client satisfaction mindset to guide all aspects of the project. LSC's goal will be to deliver a work product that is relevant, actionable, and impactful for Cidbus and the community of Lubbock. Throughout the project, LSC will be asking. What public transit deficiencies exist that are contributing to transit being a less competitive travel mode? What are the local travel patterns, and what drives these travel needs? Where are the greatest transportation needs, how are they distributed, and how are they being met? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the current services and how do they connect Lubbock and beyond? What can be learned and applied from best practices? Is there a need and desire to expand service in the years to come, as Lubbock continues its rapid growth and land use changes? How should this expansion happen? What are the opportunities for the future development of transit in Lubbock? What deficiencies contribute to transit being a less competitive travel mode? LSC understands the local context for this study and how important it is to get it right. We understand the challenges that the Lubbock area has to meet new demands while still serving existing riders. We understand how to foster collaboration and coordination of transportation services between a city, a university, and surrounding rural communities — facilitating the necessary conversation about political cooperation and compromise is a strength for LSC and our team. LSC Is excited about this opportunity to work cooperatively with the City of Lubbock to define a new future for Citibus that is focused on growth and deepening community impact. A. LSC Lubbock Citlbus COA Proposal Page 130 Task 1: Project Administration and Coordination Project administration and coordination will be ongoing throughout the study development process as our team works closely with the City of Lubbock. We approach the study acutely aware of the need to Incorporate the appropriate agencies, individuals, and representatives --we view our role as an extension of the City. We will begin by scheduling the kick-off meeting and preparing a data needs list. Following the kick- off meeting we will prepare a final work plan and schedule, which will guide completion of the COA. We develop lines of communication and provide routine updates to ensure that local staff are well aware of our efforts and progress. Project coordination will occur on three levels: PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM (PMT) -- the highest level of involvement on managing week to week deliverables and study development. Consists of LSC Project Manager, LSC Team, Citibus/Lubbock Project Manager, and high-level City staff (3-4 people). STUDY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC) — mid -level involvement reviewing deliverables and providing broad guidance and direction. Consists of Citibus staff (driver rep), City planner, rider rep, paratransit user, human service organizations, chamber of commerce, SPARTAN manager, member of Transit Advisory (Board, elected official (8-10 people). STAKEHOLDER GROUP — provides initial input and at key points in process. Consists of business community, community partners, regional providers, interested community members. We continually monitor our progress throughout the planning process. This includes weekly or more frequent internal team meetings on specific subtasks, as well as conversations of how best to develop the plan. As we look at options for service implementation based on client needs, we hold internal planning workshops to discuss the options with advantages or disadvantages of each. As we develop service options, we complete an analysis of the options using selected performance measures. We will provide monthly invoices detailing staff hours and expenses incurred with a project summary describing the work completed during the previous month, situations that could impact the schedule, and anticipated work for the following month. We will be in contact at key points to discuss any issues and to coordinate upcoming activities. This approach ensures that staff are informed of study progress and any challenges encountered. r Following the kick-off meeting we will prepare a final work plan and schedule as part of the Project h Management Plan (PMP) which will be used to guide and monitor progress for completion of the COA. Task I Deliverables: Kickoff meeting to finalize work plan, schedule, and community familiarization Four PMT meetings (in -person) coordinated with particular deliverables and project activities (see Project Schedule) Bi-weekly and monthly project status updates; meeting agendas and notes Task Z: Community Engagement Public outreach should be a fluid sharing of information, Ideas, concerns, and solutions between the agency and the community throughout the duration of the study. To achieve this on this project, we will employ various innovative communication tools to access a variety of forums providing multiple opportunities for the community to learn and voice opinions. However, we don't just inform the public but rather engage them. Our goal is to actively engage the community in an interactive and meaningful process based on the following principles: Lac Lubbock Citlbus COA Proposal Page 131 Neutrality. There will be a wide range of opinions about how to solve problems or create opportunities. Worry, unrealistic expectations about what may or may not happen, and misinformation are common emotions to address. To effectively manage such emotions, we always maintain neutrality in speech, surveys, and presentations. At the end of the day, the public should feel" the participation process was engaging, fair, and that their opinions were heard. Transparency: To avoid the perception that decisions are made behind closed doors, we use strategies that Involve the public in the process, educate them on the many complexities and nuances involved, and show how their input informed the many decisions throughout the process. LSC will a Sip"entire conmira y in dw process. Interactive Listening People should have multiple avenues to communicate their ideas and opinions and know that they have been heard. We accomplish this by consistently seeking and sharing their feedback via timely and relevant responses. Even if ideas and opinions are not adopted, with an explanation for the preferred direction, the community will feet they have been listened to and respected. Our public outreach goal is to connect with as many people as possible through a variety of traditional and non-traditional means. Our approach is to provide a complement of events and forums open to all. In dose coordination with the client, we will facilitate public participation via six principal means: Stakeholder Interviews LSC team members will conduct face-to-face interviews with key transportation stakeholders in the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, surrounding communities, and the entire study area, as approved by the SAC. As a cost -containment strategy when appropriate for the local stakeholders, the LSC team will maximize time on -site to accomplish multiple inventory and outreach activities per trip throughout the entire study process. For example, interviews may be initiated immediately following the initial kick-off meeting. Local Elected Officials and City Administration Interviews We will request contact information of local elected officials and City Administration prior to the initial kick-off meeting so that those individuals may be contacted and interviews can begin immediately after the meeting with the Steering Committee. The one-on-one, face-to-face interviews will be scheduled at the convenience of the local elected officials and city administration. An experienced LSC team member will travel to the local interviewee's office to conduct the interview. Organizations, Advocacy Groups and Major Employers that Use Transportation Our team will also interview those organizations that serve consumers or students and have employees that use Citibus and other transportation services in the area. LSC will develop an appropriate list of organizations and major employers to be interviewed and the key point of contact at each. A standard list of questions will be developed for the interview process. These Interviews will be conducted in -person with the key organizations and via telephone for others. Organizations that might be included in this group, with approval from BPTC include, but are not limited to the following. University Student Government and Admissions University Student Organizations Major Employers Lac Lubbock Citibus COA Proposal Page 132 Hospitals Human Service Agencies Advocacy Groups for older adults, individuals with disabilities, transportation, and other interests Interviews with MPO Committees Our team understands that the Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization (LMPO) has several committees and organizations that work to incorporate mobility strategies Into local and regional planning efforts. As such, we will interview representatives from these committees and discuss current and future plans, goals and visions for Citibus' role in local and regional mobility. Public Workshops and Open Houses Community outreach is an important part of the developing transit services to meet the needs of the community. We have found through our outreach efforts on several recent transit plan studies that participation rates among the community are much higher for online opportunities than for traditional public meetings. In Logan, Utah, we conducted community meetings at three central locations and used a community survey as an input opportunity. The online survey received over 3,000 responses while attendance at the community meetings was low. The best in -person meeting participation was an open house held at the central transit center which allowed passengers to give Input while waiting to board a bus. We recommend a similar open house at the transit center early in the study to provide an opportunity for riders to identify issues or service changes they would like to see and then again once service options are developed. Interactive Online Community Surreys We propose an online interactive community survey using a tool called Wikimapping. This tool allows users to provide input directly to a community map and indicate where and how they travel, what the barriers are, and whether specific route ideas and concepts are favorable. This tool will be used in the beginning of the project to understand community needs and then again after initial service options are developed togarner community feedback on the options. There will be two versions of the Ask Questions ,p interactive online survey — one for the broad community and one for university users. aoa:0 Y The interactive survey should be publicized as widely as possible through the Citibus website, social media, news media, and by other community organizations. We will need assistance from City of Lubbock and Citibus for this publicity. Onboard Survey The LSC team will conduct an on -board survey of passengers and count passengers as they board and alight J at each stop. A survey of current riders of Citibus fixed -route, paratransit. and demand response service will be important for the final recommendations of the plan. An onboard survey is the best means of engaging 1 transit riders in the planning process. Many passengers are willing complete a survey questionnaire during their bus trip and provide comments, while the number of passengers who typically attend any type of meeting is much lower. The trip origins and destinations and the level of satisfaction with existing Ckbus services will provide the consulting team and the study advisory committee with insight into the most appropriate transportation services that will maximize system utilization and operational efficiency. L$C Lubbock Globus COA Proposal Page 133 11 A self-administered survey instrument will be used to collect the data. This is the standard practice for onboard surveys for various reasons. Onboard oral interviews are slow, impractical, and create privacy problems on a vehicle. Carefully constructed self-administered surveys are preferred and have been used by the LSC team in hundreds of onboard surveys. We will create a draft questionnaire for the Steering Committee's review, based on input from these sources: Initial discussions with the Steering Committee at the kick-off meeting regarding information needed for planning efforts. Our team's long experience with constructing onboard survey instruments. There are key pieces of core information to be collected which will include: Trip characteristics: Including route number, time of day, trip purpose, origin/destination (by stop), frequency of use, transfers (intea and inter -system), and fare medium used. Satisfaction measures: Including duration of using BPTC, customer satisfaction with various aspects of service, and service improvement priorities. Demographics: Including age, income, employment status, ethnicity, and measures of modal choice. Information sources: Including use of smart -phones, social networking, and other forms of communication. Transfer information including the route transferred from or the route to which they will be transferring. f The survey instrument design will be a self-administered, bilingual questionnaire (English and Spanish). Presentations LSC and out team will make presentations to advisory board, committees, and City Council at three different times throughout the project: initially, after service option ideas are developed, and when the draft plan is complete. Website We will prepare information about the study to be posted on a study website, either hosted by the City of Lubbock or by our team. Information will include announcement of the community workshop, availability of Interim Reports, and opportunity to provide input and feedback. We recommend an online page for public comments on the Draft Report. Task 2 Deliverables: Stakeholder interview notes, open house workshop materials and facilitation Onboard survey creation, delivery, and data Wikimapping setup and data, website creation/content.

LOA M& Route Observations We will complete field observations of the existing routes by riding a variety of routes and doing windshield surveys. Field observations will be completed during our initial visit for the project kick-off meeting and during our second trip when we will focus on areas that have been identified as having issues or unmet transit needs. We will look specifically at routes that have poor performance as well as those that perform better than the system average. We will understand specific issues for individual routes. Areas of the community that are Identified as potentially needing service will be investigated to determine the nature of the neighborhood. We also propose to hold two meetings with Citibus and SPARTAN drivers. We have found these meetings to be very helpful. Drivers are the front-line customer service personnel of any transit system and interact with passengers on a daily basis. Drivers see things that many others will not see or be aware of. Individual passengers see their own personal issues, while drivers see issues common to many passengers. The first meeting will be during the evaluation of existing services to identify issues. The second meeting will take place to present our analysis of service options and obtain feedback and input before we develop the specific recommendations. memos. Nora „@100 System and Route Performance Analysts We will start by evaluating the current system performance for each of the individual routes. Route profiles will be prepared showing the route alignment, passenger characteristics, and performance measures. For x.77`' each route, on -time performance, passengers per hour, cost per x„ • try IMF,r: passenger, route connectivity, populations served, and primary origin- M3 destination Information will be reported.

LSC Lubbock CMbus COA Proposal Page 135 On -time Performance and Peak Load Analysis This task will analyze the current Cidbus services in terms of on -time performance peak loading At the project kickoff meeting the consulting team will discuss data needs with staff to identify data needs and methods to collect this data. Ideally ridership, running time, and on -time performance Information is already collected. If certain data items are not available from Citibus, we will work with staff to determine if data items are available from another resource, and, if needed, to suggest methods for data collection where needed. Data items that would be needed include, but are not limited to: Route lengths and scheduled running times Headways, recovery/layovers, and cycle times Layover locations Schedule convenience and transfer coordination On -time performance statistics, actual running times, and travel delays Ridership, by route and by time of day Boarding and alighting characteristics Maximum load points by route/route segment This information will be used to build a load profile and an on -time performance profile of each route. We will use this information to identify if on -time performance issues are driven by certain segments of routes or if running time is just out of date and not accounting for current traffic and ridership conditions. We will also be able to chart out running time and on -time performance by trips to determine if there are issues with on -time performance during certain time -periods. The boarding and alighting data will be used to map ridership boarding and alighting locations and maximum loads per trip. This will allow us to understand where people are using the bus versus areas that are not generating any ridership, and where there may be overloads. Original maps and graphics will be developed to analyze ridership and loading, and running time and on -time performance. These graphics will be presented in a technical memorandum that will Identify which routes have on -time performance issues and/or crowding issues. Based on the data collected we will present issues that are contributing to on -time performance and crowding. Title Vl Analysis With any major service change, especially reduction of service, impacts to low income and minority populations must be considered under Title VI of the Civil Acts Right of 1964. The intent is to ensure that a disparate impact to low income and minority populations, thus favoring other populations, does not occur. Part of ensuring that IVT is in compliance with Title VI will be the development of a Title VI plan for service changes. This task will document the type of demographic analysis that will need to be conducted as part of any service reduction plan, as well as the necessary public outreach parameters. Task 3 Deliverables: Working Paper #1 Task 4: Community Conditions and Demand Analysis We will develop a community provide included data from the 2010 census data, the American Community Survey (ACS), and other relevant data maintained by the MPO. We will also conduct a multi -day onsite review of the greater Lubbock area with a focus on existing conditions and constraints of the transit system operating now. Major transit trip generators will be identified through our research, input from the SAC, stakeholder interviews, and public input. We will develop a map of the major transit trip generators. Commute travel patterns based on census data will be documented. These will be used with other LSC Lubbock Cltlbus COA Proposal Page 130 0 demographic data to analyze potential transit demand. We will work with PMT and the SAC to identify transit market potential. LSC has performed research work for the Transit Cooperative Research Program in the area of demand estimation, particularly for growing areas. We have staff who have worked for years with MPO travel models and are versatile in looking at these patterns from both the perspective of MPO traffic -analysis zone geography and census geography. We bring our strengths in this area and our knowledge of other industry staples of demand estimation. We will develop a fixed -route transit demand calibrated to the existing service and ridership. We will use this model in conjunction with ACS data to develop estimates of demand for unserved areas and areas of possible future development. A calibrated transit demand model is needed to determine the level of demand for proposed route changes or service to new areas. We will also develop a transit demand model for CIdAccess to evaluate potential changes in the complementary paratransit and demand response service which might result from proposed service changes. Data from the onboard survey will be used to determine origin -destination travel patterns for the fixed -route service. We will use pick-up and drop-off addressing data to determine the origin -destination patterns on the demand - response service. Origin -destination patterns will be mapped by aggregating the points within defined zones to determine major travel patterns. We will develop quantitative estimates of transportation needs and--- potential demand for the existing service area. The quantitative estimates will be combined with the more qualitative statements of need obtained through Input from riders and the community to gain a comprehensive picture of existing unmet and future transportation . w,.. ` ' -•^ needs. y We will present the existing and future levels of transit need and ....,. , demand in graphic and tabular format This information will be used J in Task 5 to develop and evaluate various transit service options. Task 4 Deliverable: Working Paper # 1 (for incorporation into Draft and Final COA). { Task 5: Develop and Evaluate Service Options As part of the COA's development, several service designs will be developed to meet the needs of the community, as identified through the data collection and outreach processes and previously summarized. The potential Citibus service designs will consider multiple route alignment options as necessary, and the potential for the existing Citibus routes to be modified, perhaps significantly. Nonetheless, we will approach this task with no preconceptions and with a "fresh approach" to viewing ways in which Citibus service may be operated. For example, as part of the process for developing service alternatives, we will consider "blank LeC Lubbock Cltlbus COA Proposal Page 137 slate" approaches to the Citibus fixed route system that might reimagine service and perhaps emphasize reallocating resources to provide frequent service on potential high ridership and high productivity corridors or consider services such as microtransit for lower density areas. As part of a collaborative planning process, any potential approaches will be carefully evaluated and analyzed with staff, key stakeholders and the community at public workshops. Each of the potential service designs will also be analyzed for their potential impact on the various demand responsive services provided throughout the service area. From these designs will come estimates of ridership and revenues, operating costs, and capital requirements, all done at the sketch planning level sufficient for comparison and evaluation of the alternatives with each other and selection of the best approaches. We will begin with a general description of the travel markets and routes/corridors to be served for each potential Citibus route alternative, which will make any distinctions necessary among them regarding who they intend to serve, what the objective of the alternative Is, et cetera. We will then go on to the substantive elements of the operating plan and will lay out the following o Route structure and coverage, including any potential roadway geometry issues o Bus stop locations (see capital plan below for more information) o Days and hours of operation o Route length and scheduled running times and schedule re -timings as needed o Headways, layovers, and cycle times a Schedule coordination methods with the existing and/or modified IV Transit bus routes o Number of vehicles required (see capital plan below for more information) o Impacts for discontinued segments. The team can then determine which portions of the study area (typically those areas with lower densities and less productive traditional fixed route services) may be able to have these transit needs satisfied via the use of non-traditional service delivery options. These service delivery options will Include, but not be limited to: integrated fixed route and demand responsive services .-These Include service delivery options that build off of existing fixed route services that may be modified to include demand responsive segments, as well as the potential use of feeder services that may use subsidized taxi or rides to connect riders In less dense areas with the nearest fixed route service Microtransit service -- Technology -enabled on -demand microtransit service may be an option to consider for areas not well -suited to traditional fixed route service Commuter bus servicelpark-and-ride locations and services -- Certain movements may be "intercepted" and consolidated onto fixed route services at peripheral park -and -ride lots, in addition to the existing park -and -ride lot locations BicyclelBus Integration — Bike racks on buses is just the initial step — further actions to be reviewed and considered would include bus stops which could host bike racks as well as coordination with both the community and the University as to the potential for future bikeshare LSC Lubbock ClUbus COA Proposal Page 138 u system stations and where they may be sited in relation to bus stops. E-bikes and e-scooters are a fast-growing mode in other university cities and may be something to consider for this COA Transportation Network Company (TNC) Integration — Another version of a feeder service may be to utilize TNCs (such as Uber and Lyft) to provide subsidized TNC rides to connect riders in less dense areas with the nearest fixed route service. It should be noted that in certain corridors the ability to use TNC services in larger vehicles (e.g., UberPool and LyftUne) will also be examined and analyzed i a 4 The use of coordinated efforts with TNC providers will also be considered not only in a geographic sense, but also in a temporal one: In some cases, It may be possible that the use of such services to provide services may be productive in the provision of late -night service, or potentially Sunday service, while at other times a more traditional fixed route transit service may be more effective; l/anpool Integration — Similar to the use of commuter express buses from park -and -ride lots, the use of commuter vanpools will be examined, particularly to employment areas where the fixed route system may not be able to provide productive transit service Coordination opportunities with other agencies — Coordination, integration, and duplication of services or "overlap" w€II be reviewed with an eye towards minimizing or eliminating inefficient service delivery. All service alternatives will be evaluated against strategic questions about tradeoffs and considerations including: What is the overall service philosophy: geographic coverage system, high -frequency intensive system, university focused, lifeline system for the transit dependent, or commuter -focused? What are the efficiency trade-offs in terms of ridership, costs, and travel times? What is the estimated relative performance of corridors In areas of ridership demand, costs, and safety? Ahead of the Service Options Workshop (SOW) and open houses, LSC will develop a draft of possible service options for discussion and review. In an open -house format, we will lead stakeholders and the PMT and SAC through the SOW and the recommended options. LSC will develop large -format maps and info sheets for each of the various solutions and service variations. These will be used to explain the concepts and the tradeoffs associated with the various options, along with the potential routing, timing, and span of service. We will work with the group to prioritize options so that they may be phased over time. Another Wikimapping online survey will be developed to solicit community and university feedback. Task 5 Deliverable: Working Paper #2: Draft Recommended Service Options Service Options Workshop; open houses Online interactive survey LSC Lubbock ClUbus COA Proposal Page 130 Task 6: Develop Recommended Service Plan Once we have direction on the service options from Task S. L.SC will create a preferred service option Phased Implementation Plan that is prioritized and scheduled over the next 1-5 years. This plan will describe the specific service characteristics and associated operating and capital funding required to implement the future options. For each of the preferred service options, the route and service will be defined in terms of where and how the route operates; service frequency; number of buses required; and expected ridership and productivity performance. The PhM I Recommended Twak Swvke anticipated implementation path for each route and service Gmt coin, CO will be defined and presented. Each option will also be analyzed for operational impacts including operating costs, maintenance costs, number of vehicles, new bus stop locations, detailed schedules, and staffing needs. A simple online survey will be created to solicit stakeholder input on the phasing plan and implementation strategies. Task 6 Deliverable: Working Paper # 3: Prioritized Options/Implementation. Online stakeholder survey on prioritized options and phasing. Task 7: Prepare and Present Draft COA Tasks 1-6 build into completion of the Draft COA. The COA will incorporate finalized and detailed versions of all task deliverables, including: Scenario -based Analysis — The future of Lubbock is influx and transit service will need to adapt to various scenarios, driven by land -use decisions, development plans, and housing construction. We will strive to create a COA that provides flexibility and applicability to these scenarios. With help from the CITY, the SAC, and appropriate stakeholders, we will define 2-3 scenarios and adapt the COA to these scenarios. Detailed Service Plan — Route development, service expansions, or operational changes with span of service by weekday and weekend (hours of service) with service frequency defined for different geographic areas, as well as route maps with stop locations; Financial Analysis and Plan -- LSC will take the service plan, resulting from a discussion with the SAC about service alternatives from Task 5, to prepare a multiyear financial plan. We will develop the financialJplanusingconstantdollarsandthentakeintoaccountanticipatedinflationandpossiblechangesinfunding. The financial projection will Identify potential funding shortfalls and required revenue to meet the projected expenses. We will also identify potential funding sources including federal fundin& local funding, visitor fees, and other grant opportunities. Capital and Infrastructure Needs' Analysis and Plan — An important element of the COA will be to analyze and identify vehicle, facility, and other infrastructure needs associated with service implementation. Our team will determine the necessary fleet (number, size, type, propulsion, and mix), passenger facility needs, maintenance and administration facilities, park -and -ride opportunities and L$C Lubbock Citibus COA proposal Page 140 improvements, and bus stop improvements. Capital costs for the next S.10 years will be estimated for all infrastructure improvements and vehicle purchase or lease. Coordination Plan — The plan will also determine flow Citibus best coordinates with other service providers and transportation modes. Considerations will include: cost structures; personnel and staffing; applicable policy and procedural issues; and collaboration with public and private transportation providers. Performance Measures — appropriate performance metrics to track and monitor system development over time with tools for flagging problems. Implementation Playbook — step-by-step plan for how to execute the SOP, including tasks, timelines, roles and responsibilities, and milestones. LSC will submit the COA as a draft to the SAC so that comments and edits can be made with adequate time ahead of the presentation of the final plan to the Board. Following review and receipt of comments on the Draft Report, we will prepare the Final Report. A graphically -rich Executive Summary and PowerPoint presentation will be incorporated into the Final Report so that those not familiar with transit or the COA can easily digest and understand the plan quickly. Task 7 Deliverable: Draft COA and presentation to SAC. Presentation to City Council. Task 8: Prepare and Submit Final COA We will work with the PMT and the SAC to Identify any changes which should be made to the Draft Report. We will incorporate those comments and will document the changes. We will then submit the Final Report for the City of Lubbock Cidbus COA. We will provide an electronic version in PDF format to the City of Lubbock and will host an electronic version on our website. We will also provide the original document files and data files.

In our submittal, we have included the three tabs that were identified in your letter: Total Transit System Restructure of Citibus Non -Traditional Transit Options Connectivity to the Rural Transit Provider, Spartan In addition, we have included a fourth tab with our revised cost and schedule to complete the COA. A hard copy of our submittal will arrive to your office by Tuesday morning. We are eager to begin work on this important plan and look forward to your response to our revised proposal. I would be happy to provide any additional information or answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for the opportunity to present our revised proposal. Respectfully submitted, LSC TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS, INC. By z*" /Arm IV Jason M. Miller Project Manager 17. TOTAL TRANSIT SYSTEM RESTRUCTURE OF CITIBUS The overarching intent of the Transit System Restructure is to rethink current fixed -route and demand -response services. For fixed route, it is reimagining this radial route structure to determine if it, or some modified version of it, can still meet the transit needs of the region, or if a blank slate" approach with an entirely reimagined transit system can better serve the transit and accessibility needs of the Lubbock metropolitan area. The team has the extensive experience and knowledge to successfully conduct and complete this study, and we recognize the constraints that Citibus wishes to consider as part of the planning process. Specifically, while the intent is to provide a fresh approach this transit system redesign, we recognize that the ability to connect major activity centers to each other with a new transit system will be tempered by funding constraints, the use of existing infrastructure elements, and the desire to accommodate at least the predominant trip patterns of the existing ridership. The rethinking of the Citibus route structure will be extensively informed by the goals developed for the study, the service guidelines, a transit toolkit, and by the continuing public outreach process that will take place. Subtask 2.1— Goal Setting and Vision Setting with Stakeholders In the initial stakeholder meetings and interviews, as part of the community engagement process, LSC will collect ideas about the role that Citibus should play in the future of Lubbock, and what the priorities should be for public transportation. These thoughts and insights will be translated into a series of values, to help organize and more clearly articulate priorities. The draft values will be shared with the Project Management Team (PMT) and the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC), as well as at public and stakeholder meetings held around Lubbock. As part of each meeting, members of the public will be asked to discuss their values and to rank and prioritize them. Participants will be told that the values and priorities will be incorporated into the evaluation framework and will guide the investment priorities and service expansion plans. Examples of community value statements we have heard on other projects include; 3 "We want to prioritize service expansion to low-income and carless households" 3 "We want to focus frequent transit service to corridors planned for higher -density housing and commercial development" 4 "We want to maximize the number of transfer opportunities for each route" 4 "We wantfaster service that competes with cars on commuter routes" 3 "We want our transit system to contribute significantly to greenhouse gas reduction" We need more and better facilities at bus stops" 4 "The vision for transit must be tied to economic development" Community value statements will be narrowed down to a common set of five or six that will become system -wide rating criteria to be used to compare each transit system alternative, and associated routing structure, for its effectiveness in meeting community values (in addition to typical route productivity and operating cost measures). Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal M =Ml` We will lead the community in a visioning exercise to determine what Lubbock's public transportation . system needs to accomplish in the coming decades to ensure current and future residents have access tojobs, housing, education, and services. We will prepare Lubbock for future growth by identifying transit investments that integrate with regional plans and a goals, including regional competitiveness, minimal sprawl and demographic preferences. We will create transit investment options to support local and regional efforts to develop transit -oriented development and communities and identify revenue options that offer potential to support the recommended plan and ensure the plan can be implemented. Subtask 2. 2 — Public Workshops and Engagement for System Concepts In addition to the tasks detailed in Task 2 of our orlglnal proposa;, we realize that the Transit System Restructure requires significant'y more public outreach, input, and overall community engagement. We propose to accomplish this through a fluid sharing of information, ideas, concerns, and solutions between the agency and the community throughout the duration of the study. To achieve this on this project, we will employ various communication tools to access a variety of forums providing multiple opportunities for the community to learn and voice opinions, Our goal is to not just inform the public, but also to engage them. We will actively engage the community in an interactive and meaningful process based on the following principles: Neutrality: There will be a wide range of opinions about how to solve problems or create opportunities. Worry, unrealistic expectations about what may or may not happen, and misinformation are common issues to address. To effectively manage such concerns, we always maintain neutrality in speech, publications and presentations. At the end of the day, the public should feel the participation process was engaging, fair, and that their opinions were heard. Transparency: To avoid the perception that decisions are made behind closed doors, we use strategies that involve the public in the process, educate them on the many complexities and nuances involved, and show how their input informed the many decisions throughout the process. Interactive Listening: People should have multiple avenues to communicate their ideas and opinions and know that they have been heard. We accomplish this by consistently seeking and sharing their feedback via timely and relevant responses. Even if ideas and opinions are not adopted, with an explanation for the preferred direction, the community will feel they have been listened to and respected. Our public outreach goal is to connect with those who would be impacted by restructuring the current service. We propose to use the following approaches to engage the community: 4 Public Workshops: We will hold community meetings to provide information about the planning effort and to obtain input about desired changes, transportation needs, and concerns about the current service. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal M"WM2 - 4 Online Outreach and Social Media: The best method to engage a university community, as well as many other members of the community, is through interactive online opportunities and social media. We have found that it is possible to obtain a significant level of participation that is not typically achieved through the more traditional community meetings. We will propose to work with Texas Tech University (TTU) administration to reach out to students, faculty, and employees to provide an opportunity for input early in the process and to provide feedback as service options are evaluated and the plan is finalized. 4 V7 4 Study Email List: We will develop an email list of individuals and groups who express an interest in this study. This will include attendees at the community workshops, participants through online opportunities and social media, individuals identified by Citibus, and others who may contact Citibus or our team about the study. We will notify those who may be interested when Interim Reports are availab a and when the Draft Report is available for public review and comment. Website: We will prepare information about the study to be posted on a study website, either hosted by Citibus or by our team. Information will include announcement of the community workshops, availability of Interim Reports, and opportunity to provide input and feedback. We recommend an online page for public comments on the Draft Report. MetroQuest Public Engagement ' Tool (optional): A r....w..., 3 f, recommended option for the restructure is use of MetroQuest, ,,m„,,..".,,.n.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,•,.,.,r,,,,,_,.. I , public engagement software that is optimized for actionable ^-'`"°•--•4`°"`-`°•- results. MetroQuest online survey tool helps engage thousands of people across a wide demographic, while obtaining quantifiable data and actionable results in support of their planning and investment decisions. The tool will be set- up to walk participants through various scenarios, including the w4N.a M.awxtb.,wry lu..•a. /h' benefits and disadvantages of each, in order to solicit meaningful input. Subtask 3.1— In -Depth Analysis of Existing Routes r. F 1 s C1R0&a Rwn t F•waq_^. N t a.Aw il N ar.uw i a As an expansion of our description of Task 3 in our original proposal, we will carry -out an in-depth analysis of the current routes to understand how they perform and what the current trip patterns are. This will include developing boarding and alighting maps of current routes using data collected during an onboard survey, as show in the example to the right. We will also develop route profiles that include performance of the existing routes including: i Overall ridership, miles, service hours Operating costs, cost per passenger 4 Productivity (passengers -per -hour and per mile) 4 Peak passenger load 4 Service area demographic characteristics 4 Key destinations served Lubbock-Citibus Revrged Prnpo al _COnl Subtask 4.1- Origin -Destination Study with Big Data Sources To best understand how travel patterns have changed in the greater Lubbock area, we propose, as part of the analysis for Task 4, using "Big Data" sources to better understand travel behavior and transit markets. Big Data, in this case, refers to massive data sets of GPS and cell phone data that allow us to analyze trip frequencies. This provides a large sample of actual observed travel behavior, related to where people are going, and how it changes based on the day of the week and time of day. The data also allows us to see strong orig;n/destination pairs which will hel us identif otential transit marketsPYP and assist with planning transit restructure alternative scenarios. Val" Ca &" ReWa nQD Pan r CN6iw M 0 We have successfully utilized Big Data for recent projects from our vendor of choice, StreetLight Data. We propose using 50 transportation zones in the greater Lubbock area by census tract. Examples of data available include: i Relative volume of travel between and internal to zones. This also includes average trip time between each Origin/Destination (O/D) Pair. Corr dor analysis and traffic counts 4 Data by time of year (we can look at times when Texas Tech is in session vs. not) back to 2016 with ability to look at patterns over time 4 Day Types: Average Weekday (Monday - Thursday), Average Weekend Day (Saturday - Sunday), Average Day (Monday - Sunday). Day Parts: Early AM (12:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m.), Peak AM (6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.), Mid -Day (10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.), Peals PM (3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m-), Late PM (7:00 p.m. midnight), "All Day" (midnight to midnight). We will use this cell phone location data to develop quantitative estimates of transportation needs and potential demand for the existing service area. We will create a map comparing O/D pairs relative to existing transit coverage, similar to the one shown on the left. The quantitative estimates will be combined with the more ` qualitative statements of need obtained through input from riders and the community to gain a comprehensive picture of existing unmet and future transportation needs. We will present the existing and future levels of transit need and demand in graphic and tabular format. This i information will be used in Task 5 to develop and evaluate various transit service options. Subtask 4.2 - Identify and Summarize Project Issues Earlier in the study, the team will have identified and prioritized opportunities and needs for providing effective redesigned Citibus services in the service area based on input from the community and other factors- The goals development process, and the initial education/public outreach round, will not only inform Citibus staff of our findings but will also act as a key tool for consultant team service planners as we begin the evaluation of services and the rethinking of the Citibus transit system. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal L=CoM4 This subtask will review and synthesize: 3 Findings from outreach; Current and future transit needs related to impending development; Opportunities and barriers to access improvement and service coordination between various serv'ces; Feedback from key Stakeholder Interviews; l Review of performance standards/guidelines and measures. This summarization will be included as part of Working Paper #1. Subtask 4.3 - Detailed Demographic Data LSC and our team will create detailed demographic maps, such as the ones shown below, that will allow for additional insights into how a reimagined transit system could most efficiently and effectively serve the densities and neighborhoods. This example shows dwelling unit density. An initial consideration for fixed -route transit is to look at residential areas with six or more dwelling units per acre. Traditional fixed - route service does well with this density. Many areas of Lubbock have lower densities although there are a number of residential areas that may be borderline where fixed -route transit would work in conjunction with serving the higher density areas and major destinations such as the campus area. We will determine the density of off -campus student housing which may influence the locations which should be served by fixed -route transit with other areas to be considered for alternate models of service delivery as discussed under Tab B. Lubbock, like many university communities, is experiencing the development of private off -campus student housing. r' The student housing complexes present an opportunity for serving a concentrated population, but at the same 5 k time may create a challenge by being located in areas that are either harder to serve or require that routes be modified and extended with the need for additional resources. The additional detailed analysis of demographics will be used to develop concepts based on the potential and latent transit demand throughout the service area. Subtask 5.1- Development of Alternative System Concepts Taking the outcomes reached through the existing service analysis, needs assessment and the initial round of the public outreach process, the consultant team will develop three Alternative System Concepts. Lubbock-Cibbus Revised Proposal Y M5- Although the exact differences between the approaches will be part -and -parcel of the team's discussions with the Citibus' service planners as part of our Study Team Planning Workshops, these Alternative System Concepts are seen preliminarily as providing a "high level" sketch planning overview of what differing priorities may mean for a reimagined Citibus transit system. At this point, we view the Alternative System Concepts as addressing the following types of questions: What could a reimagined Citibus transit system's route structure look like? Would it continue to be radial in nature, some type of grid system, or some combination of the two? To what extent is the Citibus — and its various constituencies and stakeholders —willing to "trade" service coverage for frequency? What may a reduced coverage/high frequency system look like, in terms of corridors and markets served? 4 How does Citibus measure "coverage -oriented" services and "ridership -oriented" services today? Do these definitions still make sense in the current transit environment? How would "ridership -oriented" services be defined, as opposed to "coverage -oriented" services? 3 What metrics should be used to determine a desirable system redesign? Total boardings, or some type of productivity measure (e.g., boardings per hour)? 4 To what extent should the percentage of activities (i.e., residents, jobs, etc.) within walking distance (e.g., one -quarter mile) of a bus stop be used as a measure of the Citibus transit service's effectiveness? Should this measure be modified to reflect percentages close to a certain type of bus stop (e.g., one with "show - up -and -go" service)? 4 What defines "show -up -and -go" service frequencies in the Lubbock metropolitan area? 4 To what extent do we wish to use the percentage of jobs that can be reached within a certain transit travel time as a measure of the accessibility provided by both the current system and the potential Alternative System Concepts? What percentage of the Citibus system's resources (perhaps in terms of vehicle hours, or some other agreed -upon metric) should be dedicated to providing "coverage" service? Should there be a minimum service level for coverage service? If so, how quickly would the Citibus system budget exhaust the resources allocated for coverage service should some minimum guideline be adopted for service levels? 4 To what extent can Alternative System Concepts incorporate the use of transportation network companies (TNCs), vanpools, or other alternative services in areas that may not warrant fixed -route services? 4 How could the existing Transit Center be best incorporated in a reimagined Citibus transit system? For example, can through -routed services via Downtown be easily accommodated? 4 What other key activity centers and trip generators should be served by the Citibus transit system? 4 To what extent may additional suburban activity centers function as new "outer hubs" for a reimagined Citibus transit system? 4 How would existing CitiAccess riders be impacted if the ADA service were to be truncated to the three quarter mile from a fixed route service as part of a modified route network? Could alternative services effectively meet the ADA needs of existing riders in certain parts of the service area? There are several other questions which the Alternative System Concepts can address, and the manner and extent to which these differences become apparent are the primary reason why we wish to develop these alternatives and then share them with the public. The interplay amongst these various factors -- and therefore the tradeoffs associated with them — will help educate the public as to what the "pros" and cons" are that may be associated with different types of transit network strategies that these Alternative System Concepts will help us to explore. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal w COM5- The consultant team views the development of these alternatives as taking place in an iterative process :n close consultation with Citibus planning staff and as part of the Study Team Planning Workshops. Some of the other issues that the development of the Alternative System Concepts should explore also involve elements that may be present across all of the alternatives, such as: 4 Should extensive express bus services, bus on shoulder, or bus rapid transit solutions be considered? 4 How do City and University routes interface? Is a Downtown circu-ator service needed? Does this depend upon the extent to which the transit system morpho'ogy relies upon pulse scheduling, thus creating "platoons" of transit vehicles Downtown, rendering regular service less useful for downtown circulation? How do CitiAccess services develop to best meet the needs of clients and help support overall Citibus operations? io• rr.rae a..y. avZ The consultant team intends to use the development of the Alternative System Concepts to help inform and answer one of the most important questions regarding a transit system redesign: should we expand transit service to more suburban activity centers, or should we significant'y improve service along the most transit- accessib:e locations, and thus improve accessibility and travel times :n the urban core? As was mentioned previously, the answers to this and the other questions will greatly depend upon the performance metrics the planning team selects, and the input we receive from the public at the various outreach events. Imo. _.._1 As each system concept is developed, a Title VI analysis will be completed to show the impact on various demographic populations. Subtask 6.1— Development of Final Alternative Service Plan In this subtask, we will incorporate the input received from the public, and from the Citibus service planners on the project team, at the Study Team Planning Workshops to develop a Final Alternative Service Plan. This plan wil: include additional details that can then be shared with the public. The input provided by the public during this round will be used to refine the Final Alternative Service Plan into the Recommended Plan for the redesign of the Citibus transit system. The Recommended Plan will guide the short -to -medium term development of the Citibus transit system, and wil'. include a menu of service improvements that can be implemented immediately as well as over the next several years. The Recommended Plan may include the introduction of a completely redesigned fixed -route service, or new flex -route services, and it may focus on improving productivity through additional service in certain key corridors. The plan will be developed in close collaboration with Citibus staff and will be prioritized based on ridership potential, efficiency, reliability, accessibility needs and any additional performance metrics the study team feels appropriate. In developing the service plan the consultant team will consider options such as types of service delivery (demand responsive, flex routes, fixed route/high frequency), service strategies (coverage vs. productivity), extended service (span of service modifications), and linking major transit generators. All of these will have been explored during the Development of Alternative System Concepts. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal CCOM7- Prioritization — The Recommended Plan will be designed to be cost neutral, outlining strategies to reallocate resources to improve ridership and other potential performance metrics. The Recommended Plan will also include service improvements that can be implemented incrementally over the planning horizon, or as additional resources become available. This will allow the study team to address the Recommended Plan first from a cost neutral perspective, with potential expansion scenarios requiring more resources being added as subsequent phases. Therefore, the Recommended Plan will be inclusive of all these elements, but we will prioritize the various elements so that first a cost -neutral plan is developed, followed by the most advantageous recommendations that can be implemented should additional resources become available. An outline of the Recommended Plan's service improvements will be created to help prioritize the elements of the plan based on various metrics including (but not limited to): 4 What is the critical path for all elements (i.e., what needs to be in place before other elements can be implemented)? 4 What is the timeframe for implementation? What is the cost of implementation? Does it improve the reliability (on -time performance) and efficiency of the service? 1 Does it improve ridership and productivity? 4 How does it impact the ADA services? The AECOM team has successfully estimated the impacts on ridership from service changes based on experience with service planning for other transit properties (ridership estimates will be based on a demand analysis). For example, for the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) in Cincinnati, the AECOM team developed a service plan for the gradual implementation of a restructuring of the Metro Bus system. Rll IM) rWe+.rn,.Yw CW i. bp.u. r' r i I I I I I I 1 I 4 This restructuring included new crosstown service that would afford passengers the ability to not need to travel into downtown Cincinnati in order to complete certain trips. The team has also recently completed a transit system redesign in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where the local Metro Bus system was extensively redesigned to operate fewer "loop" services and to re -orient certain transit services to a major trip generator (i.e., St. Cloud State University), thus allowing for a restructuring of existing academic services. Lubbock-cipbus Revised Proposal AECOM8- As part of this subtask, maps of the various services that comprise the Recommended Plan will also be developed. The Recommended Plan will be presented to Citibus staff and the PMT for feedback and to help guide the approach for the financial and implementation plans. Subtask 7. 1 Preparation of Recommended Plan LSC and our team will prepare the recommended plan, as described :n Task 6 of our original proposal. The following is provided as additional detail. Devefnprn xtpfa Ca tallmlxrovemenfs Financial Plan The capital plan will include a replacement schedule for vehicles and — if needed -- an expansion program, along with the costs of these items. It will also include costs for any new equipment, transfer centers, bus shelters and signage, park -and -ride facilities, information systems and other technologies, operations bases, and other infrastructure support for the route network. The identification of lacking capital needs, as well as any potential cost neutral improvements, will also be identified. The entire program will be phased to match with the Recommended Plan, and costs will be fed into the Financial Plan. The Financial Plan will comprise an operating expense plan derived from the various phases of the Recommended Plan previously described, and a capital program to support it, with specific elements and associated costs. We will evaluate the effectiveness of the redesigned system on ridership and system revenue. The operating cost plan will be developed based upon ridership and revenue projections, operating costs using the level of service data above, and unit costs for service from the baseline data, augmented with any additional costs or changes that are identified throughout the course of the plan's development. The operating costs of each potential element and its phase are thus derived from specific unit costs (e. g., cost per revenue hour, etc.). As part of this task, we will evaluate current funding levels including local, state and federal contributions, and make recommendations for any potential funding alternatives which may assist in implementing additional services in the future. We will require the assistance of staff to make these assessments in order to properly identify all current and future funding levels. Capital items will be enumerated and phased to coordinate with the service recommendation. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal w SCOM9 - .. Development ofa Strategic Transit Hub Plan As part of capital planning, we will create a strategic plan for how, where, and what needs to be developed for right -sized transit hubs including: 4 Flexible Transit Hub solutions in a variety of footprints and sizes that we define and standardize These could be deployed across the system according to how many buses and how many routes need to coordinate at a given location — instead of having just one or two major transit hubs, it could make more sense to have a variety of appropriately -sized transit hubs across the system 4 Mobility hubs that incorporate new advanced mobility concepts Integrating things like carshare, bikeshare, a scooters into certain hub locations allows for seamless multimodal first -mile, last -mile connections. Final Report Document (Task 7 and 8) We will prepare a Draft Final Report and provide a succinct compilation of the working papers with refinements as identified through the public involvement process. The Draft Report will be circulated to Citibus staff and the PMT for review. The Final Report will reflect refinements based on the reviews of the Draft Report. After completion of the Final Report, the AECOM team will prepare an Executive Summary and distribute hard copies and electronic versions of the report to the Cit"bus staff. Deliverables The Draft and Final Transit System Redesign Report (hard copy and electronic files) will be prepared. The Draft and Final Reports will include the following elements: Service parameters of the Recommended Plan for this Transit System Redesign Project, including span of service, frequency of service, route types and coverage; A description of the redesigned Citibus system route structure (including maps and supporting documents); Capital, operating and financial requirements of the Citibus transit system; 4 A summary of benefits to existing and new customers; i A summary of fare impacts to customers and revenue impacts; and 4 An implementation plan outlining the general phasing of the system redesign as well as their rationale. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal > Ocom10 - r. Zn- Vae 17 LL.F. y The last few years have seen significant advances in the world of transportation including: 3 Transportation network companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft Flexible on -demand microtransit delivered in small vehicles dispatched via real-time smartphone technology Electric micro -mobility options such as e-scooters and a -bike bikeshare 4 Early testing and trials of autonomous vehicles 4 Technology enabled carshare and vanshare 4 Battery electric buses with fast charging capabilities 4 Smart roadway and infrastructure that interfaces with vehicles on the road and communicates information to drivers in real-time Both LSC and AECOM have stayed current on these trends and development through our work and research. We bring relevant and practical experience researching, planning, and implementing non-traditional transit options and advanced mobility concepts. We will apply these concepts where they make the most sense, based on demographic information and data we collect during the course of the Transit System Restructure. Subtash 5.2 — Research of National Examples of Advanced Mobility and Non -Traditional Service Delivery In this task we will research what is happening in other communities to provide non-traditional transit service delivery using advanced mobility concepts as well as creative use of well -established modes. Serving lower -demand areas and low -demand periods of the day, as well as making first-mile/last-mile connections have long been a challenge for public transit agencies like Citibus. With the nationwide decline in public transit ridership, transit operators and public agencies are looking for new and innovative ways to provide public transit that will attract more riders at a lower cost. Many of these innovations involve partnerships between traditional public transit providers and newer, technology -enabled mobility services like Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), the largest of which are Uber and Lyft, or microtransit solutions, from companies like Via, Chariot, or Transloc, that often involve public -private partnerships. Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal w..COM11 - Other possible solutions for alternative service delivery rely less on technology and are more familiar to transit operators like Citibus. These options deserve consideration in this report and include: vanpools (over a shorter than typical distance), voucher programs and contracted service, and more generalized and still developing mobility -on -demand concepts. This subtask will explore in detail the different potential service models through a review of case studies of communities throughout the country that have used one of these service alternatives to deliver transit differently. The lessons learned are explored for each case P001 0 awn kip& AL GoPad is Nhl apnmdgtQAllf BEe iiga r W drerE#Ew«L lehla4Ea+ndM tsq! ii "Aawn, 6R hwpuonn.ty study with the goal of informing rrWQ'°'q"°"' how Citibus might be able to use and replicate each option as a service model in certain parts of the Citibus service area. We will explore national examples of advanced and create service models, how they were deployed, and the results. Some of these examples include: 4 Go Centennial (Centennial, CO), a first mile, last -mile connection using TNCs 4 Go Dublin (Dublin, CA), a smartphone app connecting passengers to TNCs and taxis Pickup by Capital Metro (Austin, TX), a microtransit solution designed to group passengers using dynamic routing 4 Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) received a MOD Sandbox grant for $1.2 million to use for technology development, specifically to integrate ride -sharing services into their regional mobile app, GoPass 4 King County Metro (Seattle, WA) is currently operating a four year (2015-2018) demonstration program called Community Connections, a part of which is the MetroPool program, a vanpool program using 100 percent electric, zero -emission vehicles We will also summarize work we have done in communities with similar commuter challenges including: 4 UC Davis Transit Signal Prioritization (Davis, CA), L5C 4 CATA Alternative Service Delivery Models (State College, PA), LSC AV Shuttle Study (Pinellas County, FL), AECOM CDOT RoadX smart road development (Denver, CO), AECOM rrn iEnnnial i S Mc Area Raadf Lubbock-Citibus Revised Proposal w _cM" 12 - Ii 4Vlfi Subtask 5.3 — Applicability of Non -Traditional Services In this subtask, our team will document the applicability of non-traditional services and advanced mobility options to Citibus, SPARTAN, and the Lubbock area. While there are many potential solutions available, many may not be appropriate for Citibus. In order to determine suitability and applicability, we will work in partnership with Citibus and the PMT to develop criteria for rating each potential service alternative. L5C recently used a similar process for the alternative service delivery study for CATA in State College, PA. An example of this criteria ranking is shown here: ow .:i Route 8- TNC Option 3 Evaluation Current Fixed Alternative Criteria Route' Estimate Analysis Some With CATA (are remain;ng the same, ridership will Ridership 7,176 7.965 Increase. q Productivity IPassengersperHour) 5,S 2. 5 SignAicantdecreaseinproductidty. t Segment cost 162,034 135.411 16 percr ntdecrease in cost, based on Uber estimate. 4 24 percent lower cost perpassenger, based on Uber Cost per passenger 22.58 17.00 estimate. 4 Those with smartphonesand experience with TNCs Noiaseasy would have an easy expedence,but manyoftheenistirig Ease of use Easy overall ridersare not interested based oniurveyresults. 2 NIA - already YT!rCs,particularryuber.a-eoperatinrtandavadableand a Ease to Implement operating VM "%y require little workfrom CATA 5 ik Composite Score: 3 Monirr oN DEMAND Data based on low density route segment_ Subtask 5. 4 — First -Mile, Last -Mile Solutions Connections to and from transit are often one of the biggest cha,lenges to building ridership and running efficient service. As part of our service option development we wil look at possible solutions to first -mile, last -mile connectivity. All transit riders are pedestrians or bicyclists at one point in their trip, so we will include suggestions to needed bicycle and pedestrian improvements at key locations.

AECOM has recently worked with agencies in Texas to implement new services to provide lower cost solutions to areas that are difficult and expensive to serve with traditional fixed -route services. These areas include low -density residential and employment centers, dispersed lower -income communities, and industrial parks. We have assisted with the implementation of services such as dynamic carpools and mobility -on -demand partnerships with taxis and TNCs. As part of service option development, we will create a template of first -mile, last -mile solutions that will be applied to routes at particular locations. Each new route we develop will have a defined first -mile, last -mile solution, as deemed necessary. Subtask 6.2 — Appropriate Transit Technology In this subtask, we will assess the current use of technology by Citibus, including platforms and applications being used, and define the future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology path. We will work with Citibus to understand the top ITS priorities and create a detai-ed implementation path that defines each technology, estimated costs, and implementation steps. Poss'b'e ITS solutions include roadway integration (like transit signal prioritization), real-time informational signage, and onboard technologies. i SIGNAL CONTROLLER OPTICAL. DETECTOR OPTICAL.

Many areas similar to Lubbock operate these serv.ces in silos with uncoordinated service, dupl'citous routing, and cumbersome passenger connections. Our goal will be to eliminate these typical pitfalls and create an efficient and seamless rural -urban interface between Citibus and SPARTAN. A SPRRTR S a Publle Uansportatlon Subtask 3. 2 -- SPARTAN Rural Transit Analysis LSC brings a team uniquely qual;fied to analyze rural transit connections. LSC is recognized nationally as a leader .n rural and small community transit planning. LSC's Senior Advisor was partof the team which prepared and authored TCRP Report 161 on methodologies for estimating rural trans.' t needs and demand. LSC will leverage this experience to develop a deep understanding of the current SPARTAN transit services; 3 Study all SPARTAN routes connecting into the Lubbock area through field observations and driver interviews Compile data including passenger ridership by route and individual trip from the farebox counts, monthly and annual operating reports, financial reports, and expenses and budgets to determine the existing cost structure i Inventory assets and infrastructure 3 Analyze all applicable policies and procedures and examine any policy issues that prevent coordination between SPARTAN and Citibus 4 Study fare policies and ease of use for passengers in paying for a trip that includes both SPARTAN and Citibus routes 3 Look at system integrat-on between SPARTAN and Citibus; including use of technology, fare media, performance reporting, and coordination methods 4 Compare best practices and similar systems Lubbock- Eitibus Revised Proposof 15 - AE M After we have compiled existing data and completed a detailed evaluation of the existing system, we will identify appropriate performance measures for the system.

Signature Typed or Printed Name Jeffrey C. Hodsdon Title Principal Company LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. Date 1/16/2019 Exhibit D LSC Updated BAFO, 4/30/19 SCOPE OF WORK RiViSiONS LSC and our team have updated our cost proposal, attached as "Rates, Expenses, and Total Cost Proposal - REVISION 4-30-19," and scope of work to fit the available budget for the project. Summary of Revisions The following revisions apply to both LSC's original scope of work in our proposal submitted on January 31, 2019 and the revised scope of work we submitted on April 12, 2019. Task 2 Revisions LSC has reduced the public engagement task hours from 156 total staff hours to 136 to reflect a reduction in time in community engagement associated with the rural analysis. Task 3 Revisions LSC has reduced the evaluation of existing services task hours from 299 total staff hours to 264 to reflect less analysis of rural existing services, including eliminating the rural SPARTAN driver Interviews and less rural system analysis. A rural analysis will still be performed but with less overall depth. Task 5 Revisions LSC has reduced the development of service options task hours from 332 total staff hours to 302 to reflect less focus on developing options for rural connectivity. Travel Revision LSC has reduced the overall travel by one trip for the entire team that would have been associated largely with rural analysis. A more limited rural analysis will be combined with one of the six trips retained. ju Liibbock COA Scope of Work Revisions, 4/3G/19 -X - No Text Exhibit E CITY OF LUBBOCK, TX Consulting Services for Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) CONTRACT 19-14457-MA INSURANCE SECTION A.
