Both advisory :Ooards functioned independ~ntly until the 1N.J;CAB was abolished in 1999. During J.999 and 2000 the PTAAB functioned as Palm Tran's only citizen advisory board focusing primarily on transportation for the disabled. The PTAAB was abolished by the Board in late 2000. A new Palm Tran Citizens Aqvisory Board was established to address all public transportation issues, as wel'l as, issues relating ~o transportation·for persons with disabilities. The Palm Tran Citizens Advisory Board also fulfilled the public participation requirements contained in the Title 2 of t_he A~ericans with Disability Act . . The PTCAB established a Governance Subcommittee chaired by Mr. Sidney

Motion and Title: Staff recommends motion to adopt: a.Resolution amending Resolu~ion R-2001-2241, which created the Palm Tran Services Board (PTSB), replacing the seven {7) district appointments with seven (7) at-large appointments and extending the sunset date from D~cember 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003.

Swmnary1 On necember 18, 2001, the BCC approved Resolution R-2001-2241 which created the Palm Tran Services Board (PTSB} . When staff attempted to

, coordinate 1?,he district appointments utilizing seven (7) specific categories: transportation experience, disability advocate, environmental advocate, municipal representative, business community ~epresentative, representative with multi-cultural experience, and senior citizen; it became apparent that the commissioners may not want .to be restricted to a sp~cific category. I.n order for this service board to succeed and be effective, it is necessary to maintain .these categories in order to have a cross representation of the transit community. The seven (7) district appointments would be replaced by seven (7) at-large appointments. with the specific category requirements. The original four (4) at-large appointments will remain unchanged, making a total of eleven (11) members. · ·

Baokgr.ound and Policy Issues: For several years Palm Tran had two advisory boards, the Transportation Citizens' Advisory Board (TCAB)a~d the Palm Tran Accessibility Advisory Board (PTAAB) . Each board functioned independently of the other. While the TCAB ceased to function in 1997, the PTAAB continued to function as Palm Tran's only advisory board focusing primarily on transportation for the disabled. This board was not efficient and was abolished, and was replaced by the Palm Tran Citizens Advisory Board (PTCAB). Its purpose was to address all public transportation fssues, as well as, issues reiating to transportation for persons• with disabilities.

In 2001, the PTCAB established a Governance Subcommittee which recommended that the PTCAB be abolished and a Palm Tran Services Board be created in its stead. This concept was approved by the full PTCAB. The BCC considered this recommendation at a workshop on August 28, 2001 and directed staff to prepare a resolution to establish a new advisory boar~. The BCC approved Resolution R-2001-2241 on December 18, 2001 which created a Palm Tran Services Board. The PTSB will be responsible for holding public hearings for major service adjustments to the fixed route bus system within Palm Tran's BCC approved operating budget. The PTSB will also serve as a forum for individ~als with disabilities to participate in the continued development and ~ssessment of public transit service to individuals with disabilities required by federal regulations.

FROM: Sidney Dinerstein, Chair, Palm Tran Service Board I RE: Palm Tran Service Board - 2003 Annual Report

DATE: Septomber 12, 2003

I run pleased to b~ abfe to provide the Board of County Commissioners the Palm Tran Service Board's Annual Report. The past year has been extremely productive as the Palm Tran Service Board has moved to streamline fixed route bus service as well as provide a continuing forum for public invqlvement with paratransit service by members of the disabled and senior citizen communities of Palm Beach County.

Specifically the Palm Tran Service Board has accomplished the following:

1. Evaluated the performance of 5 poorly performing fixed routes as define.ti by Board of County Commissioners policies, heid public hearings, and discontinued service on 3 routes, combined 2 routes into one route, and modified service on 1 route.

2. As a result of this work 5 buses have been obtained from existing services to reassign to Route l to implement 20 minute service each weekday beginning September 20, 2003. Route 1 carries approximately 25% of Palm Tran's total fixed route ridership. The additional service on Route 1 will be financially assisted by a Florida Department ofTranspo11ation corridor development grant for the next two years with 100% state funding.

3. A new County Senior Transportation Service-s program was established during the past year. This new program provides a focus for transportation options for senior citizens who are the fastest growing age group in Palm Beach County. ·

4. The PTSB Planning Subcommittee has continued to promote the straightening of the current crazy quilt patt~m of fixed routes into a grid of bus routes serving major corridors. The recently completed Palm Beach County Tran~it Development Plan will help promote the transfer of neighborhood bus service to municipal sponsorship, thus making the implementation of a gtj.d bus route network more acceptable to neighborhoods that have been served by Palm Tran bus routes.

5. The PTSB Marketing Su.b.c.o@Illittee has continued to promote· a higher level of awareness of all of Palm Tran's services. This year ridership on fixed route service is up by some 12.5% from the previous year with no increase in either buses operated or service hours provided from the previous year. Paratransit ridership is also up some 13% for the fiscal year to date. ·

6. The PTSB Paratransit Subcommittee has met regularly throughout the year to provide a continuing forum for the members of the disabled and elderly communities in the development of Palm Tran CONNECTION and fixed route services. We have been pleased that complaints are at the lowest l~vels, ever, Palm Tran CONNECTION has been recogiµ2ied at both the national and state levels as an outstanding paratransit system.

The past year has been very productive for.the Pl\lm Tran Si,rv.ice.Board an:4 we lop.k fb,rw,ard i-o serving Palm Beach County during the coming year.

==================================•=m================c================a==~=• I. EXECUTIVE BRIEF

Motion and Title: Staff recommends motion to adopt: Resolution amending Resolution No. 2001-2241 revising membership criteria for the Palm Tran Service Board (PTSB).

Qummary: On December 18, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. R2001-2241, which created the Palm Tran Service Board (PTSB). This Resolution will further ame11d the Resolution creating the Service Board by revising the PTSB membership criteria to: 1) change the membership from eleven (11) members to twelve (12) by adding a second member with transit experience; 2) change the Chairperson to a non-voting role except In the case of a tie vote or where the Chairperson's attendance Is needed to create a quorum; and 3) change the definition of a quorum to seven (7) members.

The Palm Tran Service Board (PTSB) met on August 21, 2008, and discussed this proposed expansion. They recommend that the Board of County Corrimlssloners consider two (2) additional seats, Instead of one (1 ), with one (1) additional seat speclflcally dedicated to the Glades area, and that the PTSB Chairperson would remain a voting member of the PTSB. Coyntywide (DR)

Background and Justlfh:atlon: The Palm Tran Service Board (PTSB) was established December 18, 2001 and Is cummtly comprised of eleven (11) at-large voting members from eleven (11) categories. The PT5B acts as an advisory board to the Board of County Commissioners and has been delegated authority by the BCC to conduct public hearings and make determinations regarding certain modifications to Palm Tran's fixed route service. It also provides a forum for public In-put relative to public transportation Issues In Palm Beach County. At the direction of the Board of County Commissioners, this amendment would Increase the membership to twelve (12) members. AddHlonally, this amendment would modify the duties of the Chairperson of the PTSB by making that position a non-voting member except If there were to be a tie vote among the other members or If the Chairperson were needed to create a quorum.
