FIXED-ROUTE SYSTEM RIDERSHIP OVERVIEW - Explanation of Information

How to read this report

Introduction

This report shows how many customers used the combined METRO bus and rail systems in a given month and year-to-date. Ridership statistics are given on a

system-wide and route/station level basis as well as by weekday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Ridership is counted as boardings , or unlinked passenger trips (National Transit Database (NTD).

How are customers counted?

Bus

Boardings are recorded by automatic passenger counters (APCs) and passenger count cards. METRO has equipped 100% of its fixed-route bus fleet with automatic

passenger counters. The raw data are adjusted for missing data and APC under counting as approved in METRO's NTD alternative sampling methodology. Additionally,

there are certain routes for which passenger count cards are used due multiple fares on the same route (Route 236 San Jacinto / Baytown).

Rail

Boardings are recorded by automatic passenger counters (APCs). METRO has equipped 100% of its fixed-route rail fleet with automatic passenger counters.

The raw data are adjusted for missing data and APC under counting for Special Events as approved in METRO's NTD methodology.

How do I read the overview?

The next 3 pages provide an overview of the average daily boardings on local and Park & Ride bus and METRORail for weekday, Saturday, and Sunday for both the current

month as compared to the same month last year and for the current fiscal year-to-date as compared to the previous fiscal year-to-date. Information is also presented

for the 10 bus routes with the highest average daily ridership, the highest growth between FY2012 and FY2013, and the highest loss between FY2012 and FY2013

for weekday, Saturday, and Sunday. The 10 bus routes with the highest average daily ridership are also presented in graphical form compared to the average ridership

for a weekday, Saturday, or Sunday route.

How do I compare this year to last year?

Boardings data are presented on an average daily basis for ease of comparison. For example, Route 1 Hospital - weekday had 4,816 average daily boardings during

FY2014 (October 2013 - December 2013) as compared to 4,730 average daily boardings during FY2013 (October 2012 - December 2012). The change in ridership between

FY2014 and FY2013 was + 86 boardings or 1.8%. This percentage increase was higher for Route 1 Hospital than for the average of all weekday routes ( + 1.1%).

A similar presentation is done for each METRORail station.

Are all days included in average daily boardings?

The average daily data cover the service operated on typical days in accordance with the normal schedule (for fixed schedule service). A typical day is a day on which

normal, regular service is operated. The average daily data does not include days when 1) extra service is provided to meet demands for special events (e.g., the Houston

Livestock Show and Rodeo), or 2) service consumed (or ridership) is reduced due to unusually bad weather (e.g., temperatures at or in excess of 100° or days with significant amounts of rainfall), or 3) holidays (e.g., Christmas). (From the NTD 2012 Annual Reporting Manual, Service form (S-10), p. 192)

Why do some route numbers have two different names?

One means of improving operational efficiency is the use of a single bus on multiple bus routes that each serve downtown. Bus routes that are combined in this

manner are through-routed or "hooked." For example, Route 3 Langley and Route 3 West Gray are "hooked" and share the same bus equipment. Currently, METRO

operates 14 weekday through-routed / "hooked" route combinations. Ridership allocations for hooked routes are adjusted annually.

METROBus Indicators - Explanation of Information

How can I evaluate the ridership (demand) and the service resources supplied to each route (supply)?

METRO uses four indicators in its comparative / route ranking model. The four indicators are:

1) Passenger Boardings per Revenue Mile;

2) Passenger Boardings per Revenue Hour;

3) Total Subsidy per Passenger Boarding; and

4) Operating Ratio.

These four factors provide a balanced weighting between effectiveness measures (the first two factors), and efficiency measures (the last two factors).

By using the two effectiveness indicators, the reader can compare the effectiveness of multiple bus routes. (NOTE: With only 1 rail line, there is no

opportunity to compare effectiveness with other rail lines in METRO's system at this time.)

The indicator passenger boardings per revenue mile is calculated by dividing the number of average daily passenger boardings by route by the daily

number of revenue miles of service supplied on that route. The indicator passenger boardings per revenue hour is calculated by dividing the number

of average daily passenger boardings by the daily number of revenue hours of service supplied on that route.

The indicators are presented in two different formats on the following pages. The first format for presentation is by route number order. Route number

format allows the reader to look at the performance on one or more routes of interest. The second format for presentation is by indicator performance,

highest to lowest. For ease of viewing, an additional visual presentation format has been added. Routes with indicators in the first (best) quartile are

shown in white, while those in the second (next-best) quartile are shown in gray, those in the third quartile are shown in pink, and those in the fourth

(worst) quartile are shown in purple.

Additionally, the report includes charts showing the performance of the ten best and ten worst routes by indicator along with the average performance.

NOTE: The service levels used for these calculations are the current service levels, while the ridership used are year-to-date.

DECEMBER 2013 (FY2013)Composite of Boardings and Indicators by Route - Explanation of Information

How can I compare the weekday, Saturday, and Sunday services on a particular route?

The following section of the report presents the average daily boardings, boardings per revenue hour, and boardings per revenue mile

for each route. Some routes operate only on weekdays, while other routes operate only on weekdays and Saturdays. Cells that

would show data for Saturdays and Sundays where service is not operated are shaded for ease of viewing.

How can I compare the performance of a particular route within a given category?

METRO's Service Planning section has categorized each route into one of the following service categories:

Local - Radial

Local - Crosstown

Local - Circulator

Local - Limited

Park & Ride - CBD Peak Period

Park & Ride - CBD Off-Peak Period

Park & Ride - Secondary Activity Centers

A consolidated summary of average daily boardings, boardings per revenue hour, and boardings per revenue mile are provided.

Additionally, charts show a relative comparision of the performance of each of these service category groups in these two

effectiveness indicators for weekday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Core Routes - Explanation of Information

Introduction

Prior to Hurricanes Rita (September 2005) and Ike (September 2008), METRO developed a list of priority routes to be returned to service first after the

The Core Routes are:

1 Hospital

2 Bellaire

8 South Main

20 Canal / 20 Long Point

25 Richmond

40 Pecore / 40 Telephone

50 Harrisburg / 50 Heights

52 Hirsch / 52 Scott

56 Airline

65 Bissonnet

77 Liberty / 77 MLK

81 Westheimer - Sharpstown

NOTE: METRORAIL RIDERSHIP ESTIMATED BASED ON 100% DATA METHODOLOGY. FY2014 DATA WILL BE REVISED TO REFLECT ALTERNATIVE SAMPLING METHODOLOGY.

1) Calendar Mix. There was one more weekday and one fewer Saturday in December 2013 relative to December 2012. A ridership gain would be expected due to the change in calender mix.

2) Fare Increase. There was no change in METRO's base fare between FY2013 and FY2012. No ridership change would have been expected due to fares.

3) Gasoline Prices. Gasoline prices increased by 0.9 % in December 2013 relative to December 2012. However, there is no statistical correlation between changes in gasoline prices and local bus ridership. The

only statistical correlation between gasoline prices and Park & Ride ridership occurred in FY2008 during the time period when the average price of a gallon of gasoline exceeded the maximum base fare for

a Park & Ride (then $3.50). No ridership change would have been expected due to the change in gasoline prices.

4) Special Events - METRORail. There were four special events in December 2013 (2 Texans' games, 1 College game, Northline Opening) compared to three special events in December 2012 (2 Texans' games &

1 College game). A ridership increase would be expected as a result of the additional event.

5) Service Interruptions - METRORail. There were zero service interruptions in December 2013 compared to four service interruptions in December 2012. A ridership increase would be

expected as a result of the two fewer service interruptions.

6) Employment. There were 85K more people employed in November 2013 relative to November 2012. The unemployment rate in November 2013 was 5.6%, compared to 5.9% in November 2012 (Bureau

of Labor Statistics). A positive ridership change would be expected due to the improved employment picture.

7) Weather. Average temperature of 51° and 1.00 inches of rainfall in December 2013 as compared to average temperature of 58° and 2.78° inches in December 2012. The decreased rainfall

would be expected to result in a increase in ridership.

8) North Line Extension. The addition of 8 northbound and 8 southbound rail stations on the North Line occurred on Saturday, December 21, 2014. A ridership increase would be

expected as a result of these additional boarding / alighting locations.
