Citizen Advisory Commission, stated that the Transportation Committee conducted a two-year study of transit routes for seniors. He added that the study focused on Downtown Long

Beach due to the restructure of the Passport Route on February 7, 2016.

Mr. Darnauer stated that he was also part of the STAR Initiative Policy Advisory Group (PAG) and reported that LBT staff considered recommendations from the senior community.

Mr. Darnauer asked LBT's Board of Directors to urge LBT staff to begin implementing changes to the Passport Route as soon as possible prior to the completion of the STAR Initiative, as the Passport Route is an independent route from other LBT routes.

Results Overview. (Debra Johnson) INFORMATION ITEM

Deputy CEO Johnson presented the staff report.

Director Carrillo referred to page 2 of the FY 2018 Customer and Community Evaluation Survey report and noted that it stated 'Nearly 50 percent of respondents reported they might consider riding the bus.' He asked if there was additional information on the

demographics of the individuals who reported that comment. Deputy CEO Johnson stated that the actual survey results were in the

appendix of the report, which provided the percentage of respondents. Director Carrillo asked if the findings from the Customer and

Community Evaluation Survey report were integrated with the STAR Initiative findings. Deputy CEO Johnson confirmed his query.

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera stated she was disappointed that survey intercepts were not conducted in west or north Long Beach. Deputy CEO Johnson mentioned that although surveys were not conducted in north or west Long Beach, LBT has its Mystery Rider Program which includes assessing all routes throughout LBT's entire system and enhances outreach, which includes those Long Beach areas.

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera suggested that north and west Long Beach bus stops be included in next year's Customer and Community Evaluation Survey.

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera noted that she was surprised that 98 percent of the survey population was satisfied with LBT's service, while nearly 13 percent of respondents rated 'Buses running on schedule' as poor and very poor. It was discussed that although 13 percent of respondents were unsatisfied with LBT's buses running on schedule, LBT's On-Time Performance (OTP) had improved over the last three years.

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera stated that 31.6 percent of survey respondents felt security onboard was poor or very poor and asked what customers were experiencing in regards to security. Deputy

(14)

CEO Johnson stated that customers may have been referring to a uniformed presence onboard LBT's buses. She added that LBT had leveraged its Transit Ambassador Program which began in October 2017 and consisted of two uniformed individuals riding LBT's system. CEO McDonald stated that in the past LBT had only surveyed its customers and community in regards to safety and not security. He added that security was a new Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that LBT began tracking and data obtained was relatively new. He further stated that LBT had taken steps to address its security onboard LBT buses and would continue to track security as a KPI.

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera asked how the demographics of LBT's survey respondents compared to the community demographics for the cities which LBT served. Deputy CEO Johnson stated that the

demographics of LBT's survey respondents were similar to the demographics of the cities which LBT served. She added that LBT's Fare Equity Analysis was discussed in the Policy and Governance Board Advisory Committee meeting, which Director Zendejas referenced in her Committee Report on agenda item 5.

Deputy CEO Johnson stated that Aida Douglas, LBT's RCCRO, worked with LBT's Service Planning department to identify the demographics of LBT's service area to ensure the agency was providing equitable service.

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera referred to survey respondents' demographics and suggested there only be an option for

'Transgender' as opposed to having 'male-to-female transgender' and 'female-to-male transgender' and having 'non-binary' as opposed to 'other.'

Secretary/Treasurer de Rivera asked for the reason behind ridership increasing in higher household income categories. Deputy CEO Johnson stated it could be from the increase in housing in Long Beach's downtown core that was more transit rich than other outlying areas due to limited parking.

Director Clemson congratulated LBT on the increase in ridership from CSULB students.

added in LBT's survey rating scale.

Vice Chair Bentley asked what was the overlap between the Customer and Community Evaluation Survey and the STAR Initiative findings. Deputy CEO Johnson stated that LBT provided Nelson\Nygaard, the consultant conducting the STAR Initiative, with the survey report. She added that the survey was a supplemental aspect to the more detailed work LBT had done through its STAR Initiative.

Director Carrillo asked if there was a policy related to identifying valid responses that could be integrated to the analysis conducted. He addressed his concern of having underrepresented groups due to the 41 "Decline to answer" responses for "which of the following

ethnicities do you most closely identify.'

Deputy CEO Johnson stated that LBT focused on the ridership aspect, such as if survey respondents were satisfied with LBT's OTP, rather than demographic information. Due to federal requirements, LBT looks at demographics in its service area through its service equity analysis.

Chair Gant stated that she looked forward to this survey every year in order to identify areas of opportunity for LBT.

Agenda Item No. 8

March 26, 2018

______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT

FY 2017–18 Low-Carbon Transit Operations Program Authorizing Resolutions RECOMMENDED ACTION

To adopt two resolutions to enable Long Beach Transit (LBT) to receive funding under the Low-Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP):

1) A resolution authorizing the President and CEO to execute the Certifications and

Assurances and Authorized Agent Forms, along with all subsequent documents for the FY 2017–18 State LCTOP

2) A resolution authorizing the execution of the Route 22 Extension Continuation Project

with $465,958 provided under LCTOP BACKGROUND

The Low-Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) is one of several programs that are part of the Transit Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 in Senate Bill (SB) 862. The program is designed to provide operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility, with a priority of serving designated disadvantaged communities (DAC) as identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) under SB 535. In 2016, Assembly Bill (AB) 1550 revised investments within DACs requiring administering agencies to allocate: 1) A minimum of 25 percent of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds (GGRF) to be invested in projects that are located within and benefiting individuals living in DACs; 2) a minimum of 5 percent of GGRF to benefit individuals living in low-income communities or benefiting low-income households statewide, and; 3) a minimum of 5 percent benefiting individuals living in low-income communities, or benefiting low-income households, that are within a ½ mile of a DAC.

The LCTOP is funded by auction proceeds from the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Cap-and-Trade Program. LBT is eligible to receive $465,958 under this program for FY 2017– 18.

To complete the application process and receive the funds, LBT is required to submit a resolution authorizing the President and CEO or his designee to act on behalf of the Board of Directors and LBT for the purposes of this program. A resolution is also required to approve the project and project request under LCTOP.

______________________________________________________________________________ PROJECT DESCRIPTION

LBT has more than 25.5 million annual boardings across its 100-square-mile service area, covering 13 cities in southeastern Los Angeles County and northwestern Orange County. LBT also connects with a number of transit systems within its service area.

LBT is seeking funding assistance through the FY 2017–18 LCTOP in the amount of $465,958 for the Route 22 Extension Continuation Project. Funding will support the continuation of service implemented in February 2018 under the initial FY 2016–17 LCTOP award. That award provided funds to extend LBT’s Route 22—previously operated from the Transit Gallery in downtown Long Beach to Alondra Boulevard at Downey Avenue in Paramount—an additional 2.2 miles to the Metro Green Line Lakewood Station in Downey.

The implementation of the Route 22 extension began in February 2018. This project has the support of the cities of Paramount and Downey which Route 22 serves. LBT had a 25-day public comment period as well as a community meeting in fall 2017 to garner feedback from customers. Feedback received was supportive of the project. LCTOP funding through the FY 2017–18 allocation will continue the extension of Route 22 as follows:

 direct connection to MetroRail lines

 access to downtown Los Angeles and job opportunities; and

 reduction of automobile usage

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

The Board may choose not to adopt the resolutions. However, staff does not recommend this option as LBT would be unable to apply for these funds.
