[Collin County Transit Service Update]
HAVE REPORTS COLLIN COUNTY TRANSIT SERVICE UPDATE 24 2214. GOOD AFTERNOON, BOARD MEMBERS.MY NAME IS JASMINE STILWELL. I'M SORRY, I HAVE A COLD. I AM GIVING THE SERVICE UPDATE TODAY AND JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE RUNDOWN OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON. WE ARE SEEING IN AN INCREASE IN RIDERSHIP RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TOPPED OUT AT 8000 RIDES FOR OCTOBER. WE ARE AVERAGING 260 RIDES FOR 2024 SO FAR. THIS IS A 35% INCREASE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER FROM LAST YEAR AND FROM 22, 2022 TO 2023. WE SAW THESE NUMBERS DOUBLE. CANCELLATIONS. I THINK, ARE TRENDING WITH RIDERSHIP. WE DID SEE A DIP IN JULY AND WE ARE SEEING THIS GO DOWN OVERALL YEAR OVER YEAR.
WAIT TIME WE THINK IS ALSO INCREASING A LITTLE BIT WITH RIDERSHIP, BUT IT IS GOING DOWN YEAR OVER YEAR. STILL. TRAVEL DISTANCE IS REMAINING STEADY. THIS IS YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE SAME THING YEAR OVER YEAR. IT'S GOING UP, BUT IT'S REMAINING STEADY OVER THE YEAR. TRIP DURATION SAW LITTLE INCREASE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IN TUNE WITH RIDERSHIP. JASMINE, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? SURE. IT SEEMED LIKE AT THE LAST MEETING, MAYBE THE ONE BEFORE THAT WE DID A THING TO INCREASE THE FEES AND THE CO-PAYS THAT PEOPLE WOULD PAY. YES, SIR. DO.
IT APPEARS TO ME THAT DESPITE INCREASING THOSE FEES AND THE CO-PAYS, WE'RE INCREASING RIDERSHIP. IS THAT FAIR TO SAY? THE FARES HAVE NOT CHANGED YET. THEY WILL TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1ST. OKAY. THANK YOU. RIDERS APPROVED FOR SERVICE. WE DID SEE A SPIKE IN MARCH. AND WE DO THINK THAT WAS DUE TO A MARKETING PUSH THAT WE HAD. THEY HAVE INCREASED A LITTLE BIT THROUGH THE SPRING AND SUMMER. AND WE THINK THAT THIS PROGRAM REMAINS TO BE POPULAR. UNIQUE RIDERSHIP. IT'S INCREASING AS WE SEE MORE APPLICATIONS BEING APPROVED. WE SEE MORE UNIQUE RIDERS TAKING TRIPS. AND WE HAVE SOME HEAT MAPS. THESE ARE ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST TIME WE MET. WE DID SEE KIND OF A SHIFT IN THE OUTSIDE. MCKINNEY ATTRACTIONS. WE SAW HOTSPOTS POP UP IN MELISSA. WE THINK THAT THERE IS A NEW CVS PHARMACY AND MEDICAL FACILITY RIGHT THERE. NUMBER TWO ON THE RIGHT AND WE REMAIN TO SEE THAT SAMARITAN IS STILL VERY POPULAR, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER RESIDENTIAL, SHOPPING AND MEDICAL FACILITIES SUCH AS BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE MEDICAL CITY AND SOME OTHER SMALLER URGENT CARES. WE ALSO SEE THAT MY POSSIBILITIES IN PLANO IS STILL VERY POPULAR, AS WELL AS DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? QUESTIONS? NOPE. OKAY. THANK
