MDOT’s First Transportation System
Performance Report
 Current Phase
 For each of the four goals/objectives, determine what we are already measuring
 Identify how the data is being collected and where it is stored
 Provide current targets with a snapshot of where we are today
 Provide trends, past and future, if available

Stewardship Goal
BUS FLEET CONDITION
Aim: Minimize the portion of the rural transit and the specialized transit fleet that are operating past their useful life
Measure: The highest percent of any one rural or specialized transit agency’s fleet that is past its useful life
Definition: "Useful life" is based on Federal Transit Administration’s definitions
Standard: 0% of bus fleet past their useful life -> Desirable
<20% of bus fleet past their useful life –> Acceptable
Status: As of 9/23/08, the highest percent of buses of any one agency that is past its useful life is 24%

Measure: Public transit service operating assistance distribution
Definition: Number of counties that receive operating assistance from MDOT for public transportation
Standard: Maintain existing local bus services in all counties
Status: Currently all 83 counties receive operating assistance from MDOT

INTERCITY BUS SERVICE PRESERVATION
Aim: Preserve existing intercity bus transportation services
Measure: Intercity bus service proximity
Definition: Population of the state within 100 miles of intercity bus service
Standard: Maintain statewide access to national intercity bus transportation system, defined as everyone is within 100 miles of the intercity bus service in Michigan
Status: Currently, 100% of the population of Michigan lives within 100 miles of intercity bus service

System Improvement Goal
MICHIVAN ACCESS
Aim: Expand transportation system (MichiVan) access
Measure: Growth in MichiVan ridership and number of MichiVans in service
Definition: Comparative counts of riders and vans
Standard: Goal – Steady growth to match the increase in ridership and demand
Status: Growth in MichiVan Ridership (2004-2008) = 271.4%
Growth in number of MichiVans (2004 -2008) = 270.5%

System Improvement Goal
PASSENGER TERMINALS
Aim: Expand transportation system (terminal) access
Measure: Percent of passenger terminals served by two or more modes of transportation
Definition: Terminals include passenger rail terminals, intercity bus terminals, and local transit terminals. These are considered serving two or more modes if they include:
1) Under a four-hour wait time for connectivity between modes;
2) Scheduled local transit is within ¼ mile of the terminal or the terminal is located within a Dial-A-Ride system service area and connection between modes is possible based on operating hours; and
3) The facility is a designated passenger facility staffed by an official agent of a carrier
Standard: A statewide standard is not realistic. Each terminal has differing capacities to be multimodal depending on available services.
Status: As of June 1, 2009, 34 out of 42 terminals were served by two or more modes of transportation = 81%
