FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this action is available in the FY2025 Capital Budget.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Strategic Goal Alignment:
☐ 1. Customer
Strategic Objectives:
A. Provide reliable and safe transit service.
B. Maintain a high-quality customer experience.
EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:
Service changes are in accordance with CapMetro’s Service Standards and Guidelines (June 2023). These changes are designed to meet Initiative 10: Bus Service Improvements in CapMetro’s Strategic Plan.
10.1 Conduct ongoing service planning to improve reliability and service quality.
BUSINESS CASE:
Service changes provide CapMetro an opportunity to adjust its services to meet the needs of customers and efficiently use our resources. Service changes occur up to three times a year typically in January, June, and August to coincide with local school and university calendars. In the interim months between service change implementations, CapMetro continuously seeks and invites year-round feedback from the community.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This agenda item was presented at the Operations, Planning and Safety Committee meeting and at a public hearing on March 12, 2025. In addition, this agenda item will be presented to the full board on March 24, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The following is a high-level summary of the proposed minor service changes for June 2025. These changes are focused on minor adjustments to support day-to-day service. Future service changes could include more substantial service adjustments and various scenario options will be considered as part of our ongoing Transit Plan 2035 <https://www.capmetro.org/transit-plan-2035> process.
• Summer Service Adjustments - Typical transition to summer service levels will occur on UT Shuttle routes and select trips on local routes.
• Minor Rail Schedule Adjustments - Rail on weekdays and/or Saturdays may receive minor schedule adjustments to ensure more efficient and reliable service.
• Minor Bus Schedule and Stop Adjustments - To improve on-time performance, reliability and better serve customers, select routes may receive minor adjustments to their schedules and/or stops. This does not impact route locations.
The proposed changes would be in accordance with CapMetro’s proposed FY2025 budget. This service change includes minor adjustments proposed for the system. Although a Title VI analysis is not required for this service change as these changes are considered minor, understanding and balancing our customers' needs with our operational resources is how we conduct our service change process. Equity is consistently considered throughout this process to ensure we are meeting our community's needs.
If approved, the changes would be implemented on Sunday, June 1, 2025.
