Agenda 07/27/2010 Item #16A21Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 1 of 120 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to provide after the fact approval for the submittal of a State of Good Repair (SGR) Bus and Bus Facilities grant application, for the amount of $10.4 million, to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the Collier Area Transit (CAT) Intermodal Transfer Station at the Collier County Government Center. OBJECTIVE: To receive after - the -fact approval from the Board of County Commissioners to submit a State of Good Repair (SGR) Bus and Bus Facilities grant application to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to fund the Collier Area Transit (CAT) Intermodal Transfer Station at the Collier County Government Center. CONSIDERATIONS: The FTA Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities grant program makes funds available to public transit providers to finance capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct/rehabilitate bus - related facilities. The initiative will be funded with up to $775 million in unallocated Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 discretionary Bus and Bus Facility program funds authorized by 49 USC 5309 (b) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA -LU). There is no floor or upper limit for any single grant under this program; however FTA intends to fund as many meritorious projects as possible. This grant program was announced in the Federal Register on May 4, 2010 and all applications must be submitted by June 18, 2010. Selected projects will be announced in September 2010. FTA will assess the extent to which a project addresses the following criteria: • Consistency with planning and prioritization at the local /regional level • The project is ready to implement • Technical, legal, and financial capacity to implement the particular project proposed In addition, for bus projects and facilities, the following criteria will apply: • The age of the asset to be rehabilitated or replaced relative to its useful life. • The degree to which proposed project addresses a demonstrated and verifiable backlog of deferred maintenance. • Supports emerging or advanced technologies for transit facilities and equipment. • For facilities, evidence of proposed project compliance with "Green Building" certification. Due to the short turnaround time, it was necessary to obtain County Manager approval to submit the application and obtain "after- the - fact" approval from the Board of County Commissioners. Collier County CMA #5330 authorizes the County Manager to approve the submittal of grant applications with subsequent Board of County Commissioners action at the next available Board meeting to ratify the approval as "after- the - fact." Collier Area Transit (CAT) currently has a temporary transit transfer facility located adjacent to the Collier County Government Center main campus facility. The current facility consists of tents, portable toilets, and bike racks. These amenities are not conducive for Florida's inclement weather conditions. Under a $2.6 million Intermodal Hub Capacity State Appropriation ($1.3 million state funding, $1.3 million local match from right of way acquisition and in kind services), CAT began the design phase of a scalable permanent intermodal transfer station. Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27. 2010 Page 2 of 120 The Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) Department, of the Growth Management Division, has prepared a proposal to submit to the FTA for funding. The federal grant amount requested is $10.4 million (80% of the $13.0 million project). The current matching share of the total project budget is $2.6 million. The grant proposal for the transfer facility requests funding to achieve the following goals: • To replace the temporary facility with a new Transit Intermodal Transfer Station offering first rate passenger amenities with appropriate and durable quality features and finishes; • To meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification requirements; • To implement a rooftop garage Photovoltaic System, with net metering to attain a "zero" energy use for the Intenmodal Transit Station and parking garage; • To replace four existing diesel buses with new electric buses; and • To offer solar automobiles electric charging stations in the adjacent parking garage to encourage hybrid and electric vehicle use. The anticipated budget is as follows: Base Project (No FTA Funds) Bare Minimum Facility Infill at Parking Garage $2.1 million Add Alternate 1 Upgrade Facility Including Platform Canopy, high - quality ITS System and platform amenities, exterior and interior upgraded durable finishes, Courthouse Annex Garage /Transfer Station icon $2.9 million Add Alternate 2 Photovoltaic Solar Panels on Courthouse Annex Garage Roof and Charging Stations $6.0 million Add Alternate 3 Replace Four Existing Diesel Buses with New Electric Buses $2.0 million Total $13.0 million One of CAT's goals /initiatives is to build projects that are environmentally friendly, sustainable and to reduce the carbon footprint created by gas and diesel fueled vehicles. With limited local funding, the design phase addresses the beginning of a permanent bus transfer facility, but further funding is needed to pursue enhancements to the permanent intermodal transfer station and to include green initiatives. FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the Collier Area Transit Intenmodal Transfer Station project is $13,000,000. As this is a 80/20 matching grant, if awarded, the grant will fund $10,400,000, leaving Collier County to match it with $2,600,000. The match is comprised of two primary sources: 1) $1,300,000 that was awarded as a separate &rant (JPA APF60) from the Florida Department of Transportation (funds are available in Fund 426, Cat Transit Enhancement, Project 33037) and approved by the BCC May 12, 2009, Item 16B7; and 2) $1,300,000 from the value of right of way acquisition and administrative and project management staff time related to the design and construction of the project. Staff has verified with the grantor and with the Florida Department of Transportation that use of the existing JPA APF60 and associated local matching funds described above are eligible to meet the match requirement. 2 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27. 2010 Page 3 of 120 The grant has been entered into the Grant Management System (GMS) and the assigned number is TR- 00000071. If awarded, a subsequent item will be brought before the board to accept the grant and authorize the necessary budget amendments. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient for Board action —SRT. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Collier Area Transit Intermodal Transfer Station is consistent with the Transportation element of the Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: To provide after the fact approval for the submittal of a State of Good Repair Bus and Bus Facilities grant application to the Federal Transit Administration to fund the Collier Area Transit Intermodal Transfer Station located at the Collier County Government Center.

The mission of CAT is to provide "safe, accessible and courteous public transportation services to our customers." Since CAT's inception in February 2001, ridership has increased to more than 1 million passengers today and is projected to increase to 2.4 million by 2020. CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas 7 days per week (with the exception of major holidays). CAT currently provides a temporary passenger transfer facility located adjacent to the Collier County Museum on the County's Government Center property. This temporary facility includes portable tents and toilets while the County pursues building a permanent, sustainable Transit Intermodal Transfer Station nearby. Given Florida's susceptibility to violent thunderstorms, hurricanes, and sweltering heat, these portable "facilities" provide little protection or relief for passengers and are a very temporary fix in need of a permanent solution. As part of the sustainability effort, CAT is pursuing the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant State of Good Repair Bus Initiative to expedite the construction process and provide a permanent, modern transfer facility that will achieve the following goals: • Replace the temporary facility with a new Transit Intermodal Transfer Station offering first - rate passenger amenities with appropriate and durable quality features and finishes. • Meet LEED Platinum -level certification for the new Transit Intermodal Transfer Station. • Implement a rooftop garage Photovoltaic System, with net metering to attain a "zero" energy use for the Intermodal Transit Station and parking garage. • Replace four existing diesel buses (fully depreciated and in need of replacement) with new electric buses. • Offer solar automobile electric charging stations in the adjacent parking garage to encourage hybrid and electric vehicle use. The proposed project will be designed and constructed in a scalable implementation plan as listed below: • Base Project (No FTA Funds). Bare minimum facility infill at parking garage. • Add Alternative 1. Upgrade facility as indicated in Add Alternative 1 including platform canopy, high - quality ITS system and platform amenities, exterior and interior upgraded durable finishes, courthouse annex garage /transfer station icon. • Add Alternative 2. Photovoltaic solar panels on courthouse annex garage roof and charging stations. • Add Alternative 3. Replace four existing diesel buses with new electric buses. The ATM Department for the Collier County Growth Management Division and the Collier County Facilities Management Department will provide oversight and project management following the FTA grant award for this project. As part of the enhanced formal LEED Certification process, LEED Building Commissioning will be employed to verify that proposed upgraded sustainable features meet, or exceed, performance criteria. To view a video of the proposed project, visit: http:ZZwww.pbsibuzz.tv/article/draft/ArticleID/501.asp . The Federal grant amount requested is $10.4 million (80% of the $13 million project). The current matching share of the total project budget is $2.6 million.

When Collier arrived, he introduced paved roads, electric power, telegraphs and many new businesses to the community. As a result, more people were attracted to the area. By 1950, the number of residents was 6,488. In 1980 that number grew to 85,000 and according to 2009 U.S. Census Bureau projections that number increased to 318,537, making it one of the fastest growing counties nationwide.' Located on Florida's southwest coast on the Gulf of Mexico, Collier County is home to nearly 50 miles of white -sand beaches. The County occupies nearly 2,000 square miles, making it the largest county in the state. Within the county are a number of nature preserves, state parks, wildlife refuges, and the Everglades National Park. Three incorporated areas in the county are: Naples, Everglades City, and Marco Island, which is a popular tourist destination. Yet, the widespread recession and Florida's high residential foreclosure rate have severely crippled Collier County's economic growth and development plans for the public transportation system. Grant funding opportunities, such as the State of Good Repair Bus Initiative, will make it possible for the County's transportation division to provide a sustainable transit system to the community.

The mission of CAT is to provide "safe, accessible and courteous public transportation services to our customers." Since CAT's inception in February 2001, ridership has increased to more than one million passengers. CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas. The ATM Department has been successful in overseeing programs, such as the Transportation Disadvantaged Program. This program provides service 7 days per week and provides door -to- door transportation service to individuals who are unable to access the fixed -route bus service due to physical or cognitive conditions. Also, it provides service to those who have no other means of transportation available or who are not in a fixed -route service area. This service provides the disadvantaged with access to employment, medical appointments, shopping and leisure activities. CAT's Planning Initiative The ATM Department collaborates with the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to implement short- and long -range planning of major roadway facilities and evaluate and manage strategic plans and goals under the Collier County Transit Development Plan (TDP). Part of CAT's initiatives /goals is to build projects that are environmentally - friendly, sustainable and help reduce the carbon footprint created by gas- and diesel - fueled vehicles. As part of the sustainability effort, CAT is designing a transfer station to replace the existing temporary facility. If awarded to CAT, this grant will allow for photovoltaic panels that will be able to power the entire transfer facility. The other purpose in pursuing the grant is to replace four existing buses in the fleet that are beyond their useful life with electric buses. CAT has begun transitioning from 100% diesel powered buses to hybrid electric buses that are expected to be received in June 2010 and, with the help of this grant, CAT will replace four existing buses with four electric buses. The use of a new, solar - powered transfer facility will produce enough sustainable energy to not only power the facility, but also to power other buildings at the government center; therefore, it will have enough power to recharge the electric buses and other electric vehicles. In other words, these buses will be "plugged" into the facility's charging station nightly to be re- charged, reducing the need for oil and diesel consumption. This will not only help cut expenses for Collier County, but it will also have a positive impact on the air quality and environment by reducing the carbon footprint and meeting new environmental pollution regulations. CAT's Technical and Legal Capacity Since CAT's inception in 2001, it has been operating with all technical and legal authority of similar Collier County departments. Collier Area Transit operates under the supervision of the County's Alternative Transportation Modes Department and the Growth Management Division. Within the Division are various departments with experienced professionals such as: licensed engineers (including environmental and traffic operations), designers, planners, construction project managers, landscape architects, transit managers, and many others who support CAT. Also, the County Attorney's office has assigned an attorney experienced in transit law, regulations and requirements to assist CAT. Page 3 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 16 of 120 CAT has extensive knowledge regarding federal, state and local regulations, in addition to the Collier MPO and Public Involvement process. Through audits conducted by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), CAT has successfully managed grants and all compliance issues. FDOT recently audited CAT's Safety System Program Plan and Grants Program Management, and the audits were outstanding with zero findings. FTA recently conducted its first Triennial Review of the CAT system. Of the 24 areas, no deficiencies were found with FTA requirements in 22 areas. However, deficiencies were found in 2 areas: legal and drug -free workplace, both of which were corrected immediately after the site visit. CAT staff has FTA experience handling projects and grants. CAT received over $3 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant funding and is currently implementing all projects that include renovations to the existing operations facility, ITS, purchase of buses, security enhancements and transit enhancements. CAT has a total of 16 grants currently managed internally with a combined revenue of over $13.3 million for the ATM department of the Growth Management Division. All of these grant requirements, including compliance reports, performance measures, financial reports and audits and many other responsibilities are successfully managed by knowledgeable staff. Page 4 Problem /Project Scope Temporary Transit Intermodal Transfer Facility CAT currently has a temporary transit facility located adjacent to the Collier County Government Center Main campus facility within the County Museum's parking lot (see Figure 1). The facility consists of portable pop -up tents with portable benches, portable toilets and bike racks. These amenities are not conducive for Florida's inclement weather conditions where severe thunderstorms can turn deadly and the heat index can reach well over 100 °F during the summer months. During Florida's "rainy season" (May- August) the parking lot becomes flooded, leaving customers with no other option than to wait in the standing water and, in a torrential downpour, get drenched while waiting for the bus under crowded tents. Goals /Objectives of the Project Scope Dependable, economical, safe, secure, LEED Certified, cost effective and sustainable describe CAT's vision for its new Transit Intermodal Transfer Station (ITS). Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 17 of 120 Under an Intermodal Hub Capacity State Appropriation ($2.6 million local share), CAT began the design phase of a scalable permanent passenger transfer station and intermodal facility at the Collier County Government Center, which is adjacent to U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) as shown in Figure 1. With limited local funding, this design phase addresses the beginnings of a permanent bus transfer facility but further funding is needed to implement the construction process quickly. Page 5 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 18 of 120 Figure 1: Aerial view of Collier County Government Center, including current and proposed transfer facility locations Bus Fleet CAT's initiatives /goals include building projects that are environmentally - friendly, sustainable and reduce the carbon footprint created by gas- and diesel - fueled vehicles. As part of the sustainability effort, CAT is designing a transfer station to replace the existing temporary facility. If awarded, this FTA grant will allow for photovoltaic panels to power the entire transfer facility. The grant will also allow the County to take this idea one step further and expand it by adding four new electric buses. The goal is to eventually replace the fleet in future years and hopefully achieve a 100% electric bus fleet. The proposed Transit Intermodal Transfer Station, with the rooftop photovoltaic electricity supply and along with net metering, will produce enough power to sustain itself and to power other buildings at the government center, as well as having enough power for the electric buses. In theory, the buses will be "plugged" nightly to be re- charged, reducing the need for oil and diesel consumption. The County and the community will benefit in many ways such as saving gas, lowering the dependency on foreign oil, reducing carbon footprint and meeting and exceeding new environmental pollution regulations. With the purchase of four new electric buses, the County will have more reliable buses as spares. This means that four of the buses used for service on a daily basis (see Table 1 "Buses to Replace," page 7) will become spares and four of the older buses will be retired. The life expectancy of these existing 2004 30 -foot, Champion medium -duty transit buses, according to the FTA, is 7 years or 350,000 miles. Page 6 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 19 of 120 FTA Evaluation Criteria For bus projects, The age of the asset to be replaced or rehabilitated by the proposed project, relative to its useful life. CAT has identified that the following four buses have exceeded their useful life. Using FTA criteria for similar buses of 350,000 miles as the acceptable life for this asset, these buses now have an average mileage of 484,578, which exceeds the target factor by over 38 %. Table 1: Buses to 42925 __2004 FREIGHTLINER 466,287 42926 2004 FREIGHTLINER 481,583 _ 42927 __2004 142928 FREIGHTLINER 532,175 j 2004 FREIGHTLINER 4582687 The degree to which the proposed project addresses a demonstrated and verifiable backlog of deferred maintenance. The four buses identified in Table 1 are continuing to result in deferred maintenance expenses to CAT. Using the FTA's mileage factor (350,000 miles) for similar buses, these four buses have exceeded their useful life and CAT continues to expend maintenance dollars on them, which will result in an ever - increasing operational expense. Consistency with the proposer',,; h;as flees rnana�etner.t pl(n. The proposed project is consistent with the bus fleet component of Collier County's 2009 Transit Development Plan (TDP) [See Appendix C, "2009 Transit Development Plan "]. Transit /Alternative - Fueled Vehicles CAT recently applied for transit stimulus funding from the ARRA. CAT will receive two new hybrid - powered buses through the funding program. The ARRA funds will be used to replace some of the older buses used to operate fixed -route service as well as operate the County's first hybrid buses. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Air Quality Non - Attainment In Southwest Florida, several federal, state and local environmental issues have been addressed by CAT's initiatives. These include: 1. EPA's National Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). 2. State of Florida House Bill 696 (amending Ch 163, F.S.). 3. Local planning goal to reduce energy demand, implement green initiatives, and sustainable processes and protect Collier County's natural environment. 4. Implement Capital and Infrastructure alternatives identified in the 2009 TDP. In 2008, the federal government reduced the NAAQS for ozone. In March 2009, Florida's governor submitted recommendations to the EPA on the areas to be designated as Florida's nonattainment areas. At the current time, Collier County is not included in the recommended areas designated as Page 7 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 20 of 120 non- attainment. CAT will continue to implement service and technologies that positively impact air quality. House Bill 697 Effective July 1, 2008, House Bill (HB) 697 amended Ch. 163, F.S., to establish new local planning requirements that incorporate strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The bill requires local governments to apply new requirements no later than the due date of the evaluation -and- appraisal -report (EAR) -based amendments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CAT will receive two hybrid powered vehicles in June 2010. In addition, Collier County is in the process of developing a Master Mobility Plan (MMP) with the primary goal of reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and increasing mobility through alternative modes of transportation. The goals and objectives of the MMP are in compliance with HB 697. Goal 2: Reduce energy demand, implement green initiatives and sustainable processes, and protect Collier County's natural environment. Objective 2.2: Implement environmentally - friendly operating procedures. Initiatives for Objective 2.2: Initiative 2.2.1: Explore the potential to transition to alternative fuel vehicles for economic and environmental benefits. Initiative 2.2.2: Where appropriate, consider the potential to purchase smaller vehicles to match the capacity requirements of the new service areas. Initiative 2.2.3: Reduce fuel consumption by 1 percent each year, as service, new sources to power vehicles, and funding allow. Initiative 2.2.4: Construct future CAT facilities utilizing environmentally - friendly materials, where feasible. Objective 2.3: Reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuels. Initiatives for Objective 2.3: Initiative 2.3.1: Participate in local air quality improvement efforts in support of Florida HB 697 and EPA efforts. Capital and Infrastructure Alternatives The following capital and infrastructure alternatives were developed for the TDP's 10 -year planning horizon. Construct New Transit Intermodal Transfer Station —The existing CAT administrative facility located on Radio Road will undergo renovations in order to serve as a new passenger transfer facility with additional capacity for buses and bus maintenance. Renovate Government Center Transfer Facility —The existing transfer facility will undergo renovations to better serve transit customers by improving the traffic flow for automobiles, buses, and pedestrians. • Vehicle Replacement and Acquisition — Vehicle replacement and acquisition is the most important component of transit infrastructure for CAT. Following an increase in service frequency to 45 minutes or less, CAT should evaluate its vehicle replacement and acquisition plan including fixed - route, paratransit, and support vehicles to maintain an adequate number of vehicles and avoid exceeding the FTA spare ratio level. Page 8 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 21 of 120 Currently, all CAT buses are diesel propelled. In March 2010, CAT received three 35 -foot buses, which are larger than the current fleet and can accommodate more passengers. In June 2010, CAT will receive two 35 -foot hybrid buses that were purchased through the ARRA grant program. The capital alternatives listed in Table 2 reflect the capital and infrastructure improvements identified for implementation.

The condition of the four buses identified in Table 1 range from fair to poor, and the total cost for repairs and maintenance for each of these buses surpass their original purchase cost. Replacing these four buses with new electric buses will help minimize CAT's annual maintenance cost, improve the daily performance of service to the public and eliminate the COZ emissions significantly. Page 9 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 22 of 120 Demonstrated positive impact on air quality. The proposed project, along with the addition of four new electric buses will have a dramatic and demonstrable positive impact upon air quality in the region. After precise analysis of the CAT data from FY 2001 to FY 2009 the average CO2 emissions from passenger buses is calculated to be approximately 1,350 metric tons. The increase in the bus ridership over the subsequent years can be attributed directly towards decrease in the number of passenger cars driving to work five days /week. The average reduction in CO2 emissions by increasing the bus ridership between FY 2001 to FY 2009 accounts to be nearly 293,000 metric tons. Applying similar calculations to CAT's Existing Routes Ridership Forecast 2011 — 2020, an average reduction of 311,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions can be achieved. With the receipt of four new electric buses to replace four existing diesel buses, a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions may be achieved (i.e. 233,400 metric tons) for the period of 2011 -2020.

Solar- powered mass transit is a key component to U.S. energy sustainability. Both technologies, solar and mass transit, are getting attention due to the rising costs of fuel. Public transportation and solar power have traditionally been independent of each other. However, the race to increase and improve mass transit infrastructure while reducing energy and fuel consumption is facilitating a close relationship between the two. Today transit facilities are moving more people than 50 years ago, yet many are installing solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems and in turn reducing global warming while lessening America's dependence on oil and creating green jobs. This shows investing in green transportation not only helps the planet, but creates jobs and strengthens the economy. This project will significantly reduce energy consumption and use green energy to provide 100% of the garage's electricity and reduce gas emissions by several tons every year. The project conforms to FTA's spare ratio guidelines. FTA guidelines state that for grantees with 50 or more fixed -route buses, a reasonable spare ratio should not exceed 20% of the vehicles operated in maximum fixed -route service. Maximum service means the revenue vehicle count during the peak season of the year; on the week and day that maximum service is provided. It excludes atypical days and one -time special events. Whether vehicles are locally funded, FTA funded, or have exceeded their service life are not relevant factors. For fleets of fewer than 50 fixed -route vehicles, judgment must be applied based on the age of the fleet and operating conditions to determine the reasonable number of spare vehicles. Although CAT falls below the 50 or more fixed -route threshold, its goal is to maintain the 20% criteria identified in the guidelines. The addition of four new electric buses will help CAT meet or exceed these criteria.

Support Documentation Please refer to the Appendices for additional supporting documentation. Project Time -Line The table on page 15 is a Base Project design schedule. Construction is anticipated to begin February 2011. Consistency with Long -Range Plan The proposed Transit Intermodal Transfer Station is consistent with Collier County's Comprehensive Plan and its 2009 TDP. The 2009 Collier County TDP (see Appendix C) identifies the means by which local government units and private- business enterprises may plan, develop, and implement a flexible, safe, efficient, visually- appealing, environmentally sound, and cost - effective public transportation system that provides for the mobility of residents and visitors, while being coordinated with local land use planning and economic development goals. The following summarizes the Goals 1 through 6 for implementation: • Goal 1: Develop an effective public transportation system. • Goal 2: Provide a transit system that is financially feasible by securing adequate funding. • Goal 3: Coordinate the transit system with the planning efforts of affected local governments. • Goal 4: Constantly seek to improve services that provide opportunities for Intermodal and Intramodal Transportation. • Goal 5: Provide quality passenger amenities and pursue overall transit quality improvements. • Goal 6: Establish a proactive public involvement process. The goals CAT has established for implementing its Transit Intermodal Transfer Station described in this proposal are as follows: • Replace the temporary facility with a new Transit Intermodal Transfer Station offering first - rate passenger amenities with appropriate and durable quality features and finishes. • Meet LEED Platinum -level certification for the new Transit Intermodal Transfer Station. • Implement a rooftop garage Photovoltaic System, with net metering to attain a "zero" energy use for the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station and parking garage. • Replace four existing diesel buses (fully depreciated and in need of replacement) with new electric buses. • Offer solar automobile electric charging stations in the adjacent parking garage to encourage hybrid and electric vehicle use.

Commuter Services offers free online ride - matching, carpool, and vanpool services, in addition to the Emergency Ride Home 1.866.585.RIDE program. www.Commuter5erulcesFL.com CCHD collaborates with CAT on programs to promote better health. Recently the Health Department and CAT coordinated an event to encourage the Collier County business community to take advantage of the transit system during lunch Health hours. Department Page 16 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 29 of 120 As part of the Health Department's mission to promote, protect, and improve the health of all people in Collier County, CCHD created the Smart Growth Coalition, which is comprised of multiple community partners and stakeholders. The Smart Growth Coalition meets monthly to encourage the building of sustainable communities that will promote safe, physical activity and partners with CAT in its efforts. A state - accredited college, Edison State College has four campuses in southwest Florida. With over 300 professional and support staff members, and nearly 20,000 students, Edison State relies on the County's transit system to provide accessible routes to commutes between campuses and - -- final destinations. As a community partner, CAT and Edison State EDISON STATE coordinated in sponsoring the college's annual "Green Fest" event. COLLEGE Environmental Work The existing Government Center and parking garage (where the proposed new transit transfer station will be located) is currently developed and will not have any additional environmental impacts associated with the proposed construction. The base bid phase of the design of the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station is underway. Local building and regulatory permits are anticipated to be needed and no additional delay is expected as a result of their anticipated review and issuance. Ready to Implement CAT has launched Phase I of the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station and bidding on construction is projected to begin in February 2011. However, due to limited local funding, the full vision of the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station will take years to implement without the support of this FTA Grant. Awarding of this FTA Grant to Collier County will not only result in an exemplary modern project, but most importantly, the upgraded ITS envisioned in this proposal will achieve the ambitious objectives of FTA's State of Good Repair (SGR) Bus initiative grant program, "to finance capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct /rehabilitate bus - related facilities." it will also mean the project can be implemented quickly, generating jobs and stimulating the local economy. Collier County's Growth Management Division objective is to have the permanent facilities in place by FY 2011. TIP /STIP Amendments The Collier MPO will amend its Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) upon award of the Grant. In addition, the amendment will be incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Page 17 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 30 of 120 Project Funds and Implementation Collier County has appropriated a local match of $2.6 million dollars, which is sufficient to fund the Base Project, should no FTA additional grant funds be realized. The proposed project will be designed and constructed in a scalable implementation plan as listed below: Base Project (No FTA Funds). Bare minimum facility infill at parking garage. Add Alternative 1. Upgrade facility as indicated in Add Alternative 1 including platform canopy, high - quality ITS system and platform amenities, exterior and interior upgraded durable finishes, courthouse annex garage /transfer station icon. Add Alternative 2. Photovoltaic solar panels on courthouse annex garage roof and charging stations. Add Alternative 3. Replace four existing diesel buses with new electric buses. CAT has launched Phase I (Base Project) of the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station and bidding on construction is projected to begin in February 2011. However, due to limited local funding, the full vision of the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station will take years to implement without the support of this FTA Grant. Awarding of this FTA Grant to Collier County will not only result in an exemplary modern project, but most importantly, the upgraded ITS envisioned in this proposal will achieve the ambitious objectives of FTA's State of Good Repair (SGR) Bus initiative grant program. Technical, Legal, and Financial Capacity Collier County has no outstanding legal, technical, or financial issues that would make this a high -risk project to implement quickly. Since CAT's inception in 2001, it has been operating with all technical and legal authority of similar Collier County departments. Collier Area Transit operates under the supervision of under the supervision of the County's Alternative Transportation Modes Department and the Growth Management Division. Within the Division are various departments with experienced professionals such as: licensed engineers (including environmental and traffic operations), designers, planners, construction project managers, landscape architects, transit managers, and many others who support CAT. Also, the County Attorney's office has assigned an attorney experienced in transit law, regulations and requirements to assist CAT. CAT has extensive knowledge regarding federal, state and local regulations, in addition to the Collier MPO and Public Involvement process. Through audits conducted by the FDOT, CAT has successfully managed grants and all compliance issues. FDOT recently audited CAT's Safety System Program Plan, and the audits were outstanding with zero findings. FTA recently conducted its first Triennial Review of the CAT system. Of the 24 areas, no deficiencies were found with FTA requirements in 22 areas. However, deficiencies were found in 2 areas: legal and drug -free workplace, both of which were corrected immediately after the site visit. CAT staff has FTA experience handling projects and grants. CAT received over $3 million in ARRA grant funding and is currently implementing all projects that include renovations to the existing operations facility, ITS, purchase of buses, security enhancements and transit enhancements. CAT has a total of 16 grants currently managed internally with combined revenue of over $13.3 million. All of these grant requirements, including compliance reports, performance measures, financial reports and audits and many other responsibilities are successfully managed by knowledgeable staff. Page 18 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 31 of 120 Bus Fleet Management Plan As part of CAT's bus fleet management plan, the following information is contained in the 2009 TDP. By pursuing the purchase of electric buses CAT will be complying with the fleet management goals of the TDP. Transit /Alternative- Fueled Vehicles CAT recently applied for transit stimulus funding from the ARRA. CAT will receive two new hybrid - powered buses through the funding program. The ARRA funds will be used to replace some of the older buses used to operate fixed -route service as well as operate the County's first hybrid buses. Environmental Issues Air Quality Non - Attainment In Southwest Florida, several federal, state and local environmental issues have been addressed by CAT's initiatives. These include: 1. EPA's National Air Quality Standard ( NAAQS). 2. State of Florida House Bill 696 (amending Ch 163, F.S.). 3. Local planning goal to reduce energy demand, implement green initiatives, and sustainable processes and protect Collier County's natural environment. 4. Implement Capital and Infrastructure alternatives identified in the 2009 TDP. In 2008, the federal government reduced the NAAQS for ozone. In March 2009, Florida's governor submitted recommendations to the EPA on the areas to be designated as Florida's nonattainment areas. At this time, Collier County is not included in the recommended areas designated as non - attainment. CAT will continue to implement service and technologies that positively impact air quality. House Bill 697 Effective July 1, 2008, House Bill (HB) 697 amended Ch. 163, F.S., to establish new local planning requirements that incorporate strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The bill requires local governments to apply new requirements no later than the due date of the evaluation -and- appraisal- report-based amendments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CAT will receive two hybrid powered vehicles in June 2010. In addition, Collier County is in the process of developing a Master Mobility Plan (MMP) with the primary goal of reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and increasing mobility through alternative modes of transportation. The goals and objectives of the MMP are in compliance with HB 697. Goal 2: Reduce energy demand, implement green initiatives and sustainable processes, and protect Collier County's natural environment. Objective 2.2: Implement environmentally - friendly operating procedures. Initiative 2.2.1: Explore the potential to transition to alternative fuel vehicles for economic and environmental benefits. Initiative 2.2.2: Where appropriate, consider the potential to purchase smaller vehicles to match the capacity requirements of the new service areas. Initiative 2.2.3: Reduce fuel consumption by 1 percent each year, as service, new sources to power vehicles, and funding allow. Page 19 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 32 of 120 Initiative 2.2.4: Construct future CAT facilities utilizing environmentally - friendly materials, where feasible. Objective 2.3: Reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuels. Initiative 2.3.1: Participate in local air quality improvement efforts in support of Florida HB 697 and EPA efforts. Capital and Infrastructure Alternatives As part of the TOP 10 -year planning horizon, CAT developed the following capital and infrastructure alternatives: • Construct New Transit Intermodal Transfer Station — The existing CAT administrative facility located on Radio Road will undergo renovations in order to serve as a new passenger transfer facility with additional capacity for buses and bus maintenance. • Renovate Government Center Transfer Facility — The existing transfer facility will undergo renovations to better serve transit customers by improving the traffic flow for automobiles, buses, and pedestrians. • Vehicle Replacement and Acquisition — Vehicle replacement and acquisition is the most important component of transit infrastructure for CAT. Following an increase in service frequency to 45 minutes or less, CAT should evaluate its vehicle replacement and acquisition plan including fixed route, paratransit, and support vehicles to maintain an adequate number of vehicles and avoid exceeding the FTA spare ratio level. Currently, all CAT buses are diesel propelled. In March 2010, CAT received three 35 -foot buses, which are larger than the current fleet and can accommodate more passengers. In June 2010, CAT will receive two 35 -foot hybrid buses that were purchased through ARRA grant program. The capital alternatives listed in Table 2 (page 9) reflect the capital and infrastructure improvements identified for implementation. Page 20 Agenda Item No, 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 33 of 120 Bus Fleet Due to the size of CAT's bus fleet and the nature of its small transit system, the bus routes are designed mainly using loops, which require passengers to use transfers in order to get from one destination to another. On average, about 500,000 passenger transfers take place annually in this facility. • Service area population for CAT increased from 161,181 in 2004 to 333,858 in 2008, an increase of 107 percent. • The passenger trips for CAT increased from 627,823 in 2004 to 1,166,358 in 2008, an increase of nearly 86 percent. • Total vehicle miles of service have increased from 578,150 in 2004 to 1,299,452 in 2008, an increase of almost 125 percent. • Revenue miles of service also increased from 552,572 in 2004 to 1,214,814 in 2008, an increase of almost 120 percent.

Ridership As part of CAT's goal for its bus fleet, the construction of the new facility will incorporate a system that will provide recharging stations for electric - powered vehicles and buses. CAT's goals are to: • Replace four existing diesel buses (fully depreciated and in need of replacement) with new electric buses; • Offer solar automobile electric charging stations in the adjacent parking garage to encourage hybrid and electric vehicle use. Bus Facility CAT is pursuing LEED for New Construction 2009 (LEED v3) certification, as administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, for this Transit Intermodal Transfer Station. The facility will incorporate various sustainable design and construction strategies to achieve the highest level of LEED certification possible while providing a cost - effective facility for Collier County residents.

Base Project Narrative The base project for the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station will be a bare minimum infill facility at the existing Collier County Government Center Courthouse Annex Parking Garage. This infill approach offers the least intrusive impact on the existing site and environment to allow the best opportunity to secure the highest possible LEED certification recognizing sustainability. The base facility will serve as a catalyst for intermodal synergies between pedestrians, bicyclists, "kiss- and - ride" passengers and from patrons leaving their vehicles in the parking garage to use the system. This facility design currently underway will provide a busway with turn- around, six saw -tooth configured bus berths, unprotected passenger platform with benches and trash receptacles and a static information kiosk, restrooms, customer service and ticketing, driver's lounge, staff restrooms, a few offices and administrative storage. Positioning of the CAT operational spaces on the second floor with expansive glazing will allow for clear sight lines and observation of the passenger platform, busway and immediate surroundings. Much of the existing funds for the project have been used for site acquisition and are set aside for site work necessary to provide an effective vehicular- reinforced busway surface width, pedestrian platform and associated retention pond enlargement /modifications. Landscaping will be to code, but sparingly positioned and limited to between the busway and adjacent modified retention ok b pond edge with relocated palm trees and native plants. Hardscape at the platform and walks will be standard uncolored concrete for heavy-duty suitable a y y pedestrian r n, � function. A bicycle rack will be positioned wn�*l.exas w�m areuT RM nw vv near the platform. Page 24 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 37 of 120 Add Alternative 1 With FTA funding, Add Alternative 1 will transform the Base Project into a full- feature, effective public intermodal transportation facility with modern, high - quality amenities and level of service. A continuous aluminum canopy will be added over the bus platform to provide much - needed protection from the elements for passengers waiting and boarding /de- boarding buses. A section of the parking garage set aside for waiting will be upgraded and finished appropriately for passenger comfort and will include a new floor finish over the existing concrete, new durable ceiling finish below the exposed concrete joists and heavy duty aesthetic surface wraps around existing columns and low wall surfaces.

A static information kiosk in the Base Project will be converted to a video /audio display with interactive features. Project signage will enhance and increase in size and quantity to improve communication and way- finding and sustainable design project features will be highlighted prominently to encourage individual responsibility /green approaches away from the station. A project icon will be added at the adjacent parking garage stair tower to prominently identify the station to drivers and pedestrians nearby with additional canopy, bus berth and entrance signs. Bicycle racks will be enhanced with bicycle lockers to encourage intermodal activity and better peace -of -mind for passengers who will be bringing their bicycles to the station and leaving them unattended while they use the CAT bus system. A secure, enclosed platform storage space will be added to the project program to expedite maintenance equipment access and encourage enhanced maintenance /upkeep of the platforms. Page 27 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 40 of 120 _- Add Alternative 2 To combat rising energy costs, CAT proposes a sustainable energy conservation project that includes the construction of a solar canopy array on the adjacent garage rooftop to help meet the energy demands of the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station , garage and County's public building. With more than 350 days of sun each year in Collier County, the County has a potentially unlimited source of energy at its disposal. The roof of the parking garage is ideal to house the canopy, harness the abundant supply of the sun while also shading vehicles. Furthermore, the canopy will help the County decrease its annual electrical energy consumption significantly. The solar canopy will provide power for the garage while serving as a visible symbol of the County's commitment to sustainable energy development. Features such as monitoring equipment that provides real -time production, interactive visual displays will allow easy Page 28 accessibility for education opportunities. This can be used as an opportunity to educate the County and surrounding community on sustainability issues and options. The solar PV modules are oriented on flat, (south- facing) independent structures. With a total of 15 structures on the rooftop, each structure will accommodate 276 220 -watt solar modules. Each of the structures will produce approximately 60 kilowatts with the installation as a whole producing approximately 913,000 kilowatt -hours annually. This equates to a significant portion of the electrical energy demands for the County. Additionally, all equipment used on the project, PV- powered inverters and Canadian Solar modules, are in accordance with the Florida Solar Energy Center's certified list of eligible renewable equipment. Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 41 of 120 Proposed Gi °ant- FundedFenei chleEnee-, qj ,- vsterns,foi- LEED Certification CAT is pursuing LEED for New Construction 2009 (LEED v3) certification, as administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, for its Transit Intermodal Transfer Station. The facility will incorporate various sustainable design and construction strategies to achieve the highest level of LEED certification possible while providing a cost- effective facility for Collier County residents. The project team is pursuing additional grant funds to install a solar PV panel system on the roof of the adjacent county -owned parking garage. This system will provide 100% of the electricity required by the new transfer station facility, with extra power available for recharging electric vehicles and buses. The design team is planning the current Base Project to achieve LEED Silver certification without any additional grant funds. The addition of the grant- funded solar PV system will allow the project to eliminate the electricity consumption from non - renewable resources, which will result in the facility having the ability to achieve LEED Platinum certification. The project's overall LEED strategy is outlined in this narrative, as well as the impact of the additional grant funds for renewable energy. Both of these options are summarized in the LEED scorecards in Figures 2 -5 (pages 33 -36). Page 29 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 42 of 120 LEED Certification Without Grant Funds CAT has developed a LEED strategy for this project based on the following sustainable design concepts. Sustainable Sites The CAT Transit Intermodal Transfer Station will be constructed on an existing site adjacent to the county government facilities. The site is within walking distance of many neighborhood services and has excellent public transportation access due to the nature of the facility. The existing surface lot will be removed and new landscaping will be provided to maximize vegetated open space using native and adapted vegetation. The new site will incorporate a stormwater management plan to reduce pollution from stormwater runoff and limit the amount of stormwater leaving the site. To reduce the heat island effect, the facility will use a highly reflective roof, which also reduces the building's cooling loads. Inserting much of the station platform, passenger and operational support spaces into the existing parking garage by design aligns with a primary sustainable site goal of minimizing new project footprints and impacts on the existing site and environment. Energy and Atmosphere The building will be designed to comply with ASHRAE 90.1 -2007 and reduce the energy consumption by at least 10% as compared to a building that simply meets code. Strategies to reduce energy consumption include increased insulation, LEER 2009 high - performance low- emissivity glazing, and high - ADVANCEMENTS TO THE RATING SYSTEM efficiency heating and cooling equipment. This design LEED ONLINE will reduce the amount of energy used for interior lighting and occupancy sensors will be included E% STER SMARTER BA BETTER USER EXPERIENCE throughout the building to further reduce lighting CERTIFICATION MODEL power consumption. All appliances included in the + ORCI6. CERTIFICATION BODIES project will be ENERGY STARO rated whenever applicable. These design strategies are expected to reduce the overall energy consumption by up to 14% below the ASHRAE 90.1 -2007 baseline; these energy savings will be verified with a three - dimensional whole building energy simulation. Since the basic design of the transfer facility does not include any on -site renewable energy, the project team will obtain Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs, or "green tags') to offset 100% of the electricity use in the project, as calculated using the energy model. This is a way for the owner to demonstrate a commitment to renewable energy development by purchasing the environmental attributes of renewable energy systems installed elsewhere. Materials and Resources To encourage staff and visitor recycling, the design team will include recycling areas for paper, plastic, metals, glass, and cardboard. During construction, a =ICCU Y3 Page 30 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27. 2010 Page 43 of 120 Construction Waste Management Plan will be implemented to divert at least 75% of the construction and demolition waste from landfill, including materials such as concrete, steel, drywall, cardboard, asphalt, and wood. During design and construction, building materials such as concrete, steel, drywall, ceiling tiles and carpet will be selected with high recycled content to achieve a recycled content value of at least 20% of the total materials cost. Materials such as steel, concrete, and gypsum will be selected from local or regional manufacturers for at least 10% of the total materials cost. At least 50% of the wood used in the project will be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Indoor Environmental Quality, A Construction Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management Plan will be implemented to minimize exposure to pollutants and to protect indoor air quality in the building. Low - emitting materials will be specified throughout the project, including adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, and flooring systems. All composite wood and agrifiber products will be urea - formaldehyde -free. The project's lighting strategy will incorporate natural daylighting, including skylights and roof monitors whenever feasible. Additionally, individual lighting controls will be provided for the transfer station employees. The building envelope will be designed to provide exterior views in the work areas. The HVAC system will be designed to provide optimal thermal comfort for the building occupants. A post- occupancy thermal comfort survey will be administered to verify the thermal comfort levels of the transfer station employees. Innovation in Design Two of the sustainable strategies for the project involve ongoing commitment from the Collier County staff. The project team is proposing a Green Housekeeping plan to further protect indoor air quality, which will be administered by the County. To reduce the amount of mercury exposure to building occupants, the design team will specify low mercury lighting for all fluorescent lamps within the building and on -site. The County will continue to implement a low- mercury lighting purchasing policy in the facility. To promote the sustainability goals of Collier County, the building will be used as an educational tool for the public. This approach involves a comprehensive signage program built into the building's spaces to educate the occupants and visitors of the benefits of green buildings. For example, the program may include windows to view energy- saving mechanical equipment or signs to call attention to water - conserving landscape features. The facility may also include an interactive kiosk to graphically display facts and information and inform the public about the design and operation of the facility. After the project is finished, a case study will be published to inform other designers of the project's successes and overall sustainability impacts. LEED Certification with Grant Funds The grant funds pursued by the project team will be used to add sustainable features to the project that not currently within the project budget. This will include renewable energy technology and features to help the facility reduce water consumption. The County will also make an investment on long -term energy saving concepts such as building commissioning and utility measurement and verification programs. These services are typically very expensive, especially for a project of this size. But the long -term benefits will be improved building operation and the ability to understand how energy is used and potentially saved over the life of the facility. Page 31 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 44 of 120 The grant will help fund the purchase of solar PV panels to be installed on the adjacent parking garage as described earlier in this proposal. The addition of renewable energy systems greatly improves the LEED certification level of any project since LEED points are generously awarded for on -site renewable energy. Renewable energy sources for building projects typically include solar PV and /or solar thermal panels for domestic hot water. This project does not have enough hot water usage to justify solar thermal panels; therefore, solar PV for electricity generation will be the most effective on -site renewable energy system. The Transit Intermodal Transfer Station will use proven water - saving strategies to minimize the amount of potable water needed for both irrigation and flushing. For the site landscaping, irrigation will be supplied either through the rainwater harvesting system or municipally - supplied reclaimed water, such that no potable water is used for irrigation. Inside the building, the plumbing fixtures (water closets, "waterless' urinals, and faucets) will all be low -flow, or no -flow, fixtures to reduce overall water consumption. Additionally, harvested rainwater will be used for toilet and urinal flushing. This strategy is awarded with the maximum number of LEED points associated with energy use reduction and on -site renewable energy, which will allow the transfer facility to achieve LEED Platinum certification. These scenarios are shown in the LEED scorecards presented on the following pages in Figures 2 -5, with all achievable points marked as "Yes" and potential points marked as "Maybe."

However, the race to increase and improve mass transit infrastructure while reducing energy and fuel consumption is facilitating creating a synergistic solution to providing public transportation. Solar- powered mass transit is a key component to U.S. energy sustainability. Both technologies, solar and mass transit, are getting attention due to the rising costs of fuel. Today many transit facilities are moving toward installing solar PV systems and, in turn, reducing global warming while decreasing America's dependence on oil and creating jobs. This shows investing in green transportation not only helps the environment, but also strengthens the economy. This project will significantly reduce energy consumption and use green energy to provide 100% of the garage's electricity and reduce gas emissions by several thousand tons annually. By replacing four diesel buses with four electric buses = 233,447.57 metric tons, the fully FTA- funded project is estimated to save: • Average reduction in CO2 emissions from 2002 -2009 = 293,007.38 metric tons • Average reduction in CO2 emissions from 2011 -2020 = 311,236.43 metric tons Proposed Replacement of Four G:isting Diesel Buses with New Electric Buses On an average weekday peak, CAT deploys 16 buses across its network. With the purchase of four new electric buses, the County will have more reliable buses as spares. This means is that four of the buses used for service on a daily basis (see Table 1 "Buses to Replace" page 7) will become spares and four of the older buses will be retired. The life expectancy of these existing 2004 30 -foot, Champion medium -duty transit buses, according to the FTA, is 7 years, or 350,000 miles. Accordingly, these buses have very much exceeded their useful life. The condition of these buses range from fair to poor and the total cost for repairs and maintenance for each of these buses surpass the purchase cost. Replacing these four buses will help CAT minimize annual maintenance costs and improve daily performance of service to the public. Page 37 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 50 of 120 Collier County's Ongoing Program Management Approach The ATM Department for the Collier County Growth Management Division and the Collier County Facilities Management Department will provide oversight and project management following the FTA grant award for this project. As part of the enhanced formal LEED Certification process, LEED Building Commissioning will be employed to verify that proposed upgraded sustainable features meet, or exceed, performance criteria. Specifically, the primary renewable energy system proposed (rooftop solar PV panel system) will be measured and periodically re- tested to ensure that the power savings estimated in this proposal are met. Long -term utility measurement and verification programs will further verify the system's effectiveness. Proposed water - saving strategies will be tested to confirm zero potable water usage for irrigation and minimal potable water usage plumbing fixture flushing with supplemental rainwater harvesting system water sourcing. All building commissioning test reports will be formally presented to the FTA, the ATM Department, Collier County Facilities Management Department, the building contractor and the design team. Any maintenance adjustments will be made expeditiously as required to ensure the ITS meets or exceeds proposed sustainable goals specifically funded by the FTA grant award.

The monies obtained trough this grant will enable and encourage the community to use alternative modes of transportation to get to work, shopping, community centers and parks. This is a step toward correcting the urban sprawl development pattern that is currently affecting our county. The CAT Sustainable Intermodal Transit Station will increase ridership while decreasing carbon emissions by designing an energy efficient structure where people of all ages, disabilities and capabilities can ride transit comfortably and efficiently. An infrastructure for multi -modal transportation will also assist in decreasing the inactivity and obesity epidemics that plague our nations' youth. We respectfully request your favorable consideration of the Grant funding requested to assist in the implementation of this countywide transit initiative. Sincerely,' Stacy Revay - Smart Growth Coalition, Chair R EDISON STATE -- COLLEGE - COLLIER CAMPus June 15, 2010 To Whom It May Concern, Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 57 of 120 Edison State College is writing this letter in support of the Sustainable Intermodal Transit Station project located at 3301 TAMIAMI Trail, Naples FL, in Collier County, Florida.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION Collier Area Transit (CAT) operates under the supervision of the Collier County Department of Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) for the Collier County Transportation Division. CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas. According to the Rule 14- 73.001, Florida Administrative Code, F.A.C., Transit Development Plans (TDPs) are required for grant program recipients pursuant to Section 341.052, Florida Statutes (F.S.). A TDP shall be the provider's planning, development, and operational guidance document, based on a ten -year planning horizon covering the year in which funding is sought through the nine subsequent years. A TDP or an annual update shall be used in developing the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Five -Year Work Program, the Transportation Improvement Program, and the Department's Program and Resource Plan. A TDP shall be adopted by a provider's governing body. Rule 14- 73.001, F.A.C., sets forth the requirements for the TDP Annual Update, as stated verbatim below: 14- 73.001 Public Transit (4) Annual Update. Annual updates shall be in the form of a progress report on the ten -year implementation program, and shall include: a. Past year's accomplishments compared to the original implementation program; b. Analysis of any discrepancies between the plan and its implementation for the past year and steps that will be taken to attain original goals and objectives; c. Any revisions to the implementation program for the coming year; d. Revised implementation program for the tenth year; e. Added recommendations for the new tenth year of the updated plan; f. A revised financial plan; and g. A revised list of projects or services needed to meet the goals and objectives, including projects for which funding may not have been identified. This report is an Annual Update for the Collier County TDP, meeting all the Rule 14- 73.001, F.A.C., requirements listed above.

Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 1-2 September 2009 Agenda Item No, 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 66 of 120 SECTION 2 FIXED ROUTE SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS IMPLEMENTATION This section provides a review of the past year's implementation actions and describes improvements made to the fixed route services and facilities since the last annual progress report. Route Changes and Improvements The previous TDP annual progress report was adopted in October 2008. Since that update, service on several fixed routes has changed. In December 2008, faced with budget cuts of approximately $415,000, CAT began looking at eliminating or reducing several bus routes. In compliance with Federal Title VI requirements, meetings were held in November and December of 2008 to receive public input regarding the proposed CAT route changes and fare increase proposed in response to increasing operating costs. Notices of these public meetings were provided via multiple mediums, including: television, radio, inside buses, handouts, and advertisements in the local newspaper, to maximize opportunities for citizens to attend these meetings and offer feedback. Through this public participation process, many suggestions for route changes, modifications, and /or eliminations were received. In particular, several citizens expressed concerns in regard to the proposed elimination of the Green Route, designated as Route 4B. Route 4B had been recommended for elimination by staff due to continuing decreases in route ridership (as discussed later in this section). However, a petition with over 100 signatures from concerned citizens was submitted at the November 2008 public meeting stating the need for the route and asking CAT to retain Route 4B. In response to citizen concerns, CAT staff was able to develop an alternative plan that would allow Route 4B to remain in service. Implementation of the route changes was delayed from January 2009 until March 2009 to allow staff to be as responsive as possible to public transportation needs while balancing budgetary constraints. Effective March 1, 2009 four CAT routes were modified, Routes 1, 2, 6, and 9, as described in the following section along with an increase in several fare categories. Sunday service was eliminated on Routes 1A, 2B, and 4B. Routes 3, 5, 7, and 8 were not modified and follow the same alignment as in 2008. Figure 2 -1 on the following page illustrates the alignment of all CAT routes that took effect on March 1, 2009. In the following sections, maps have been included to illustrate the route modifications implemented for Routes 1, 2, 6, and 9 in contrast to their previous alignments.

Source: McDonald Transit Ridership Data, FY 2004 -2009 Figure 2 -2 and Table 2 -1 summarize the past five year's ridership trends by route. It should be noted that the data for FY 2009 is incomplete and only represents nine (9) months of ridership. It is difficult to draw too many conclusions from this data and chart because the routes have been modified to address operational issues and system growth. However, it is possible to examine the validity of some assumptions. For example, the Naples Community Hospital in Downtown Naples was first served by Route 2 and then by Route 1. The peak ridership for these two routes corresponds with the service to the Naples Community Hospital, Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 2 -3 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 69 of 120 as predicted in the 2008 TDP. It should also be noted that the service area expanded significantly in 2005 and that data for Routes 6, 7, 8, and 9 were not shown when it was operated for only a few months (a partial year). Red Route: The Red Route (Route 1A, 1B and IC) has three buses servicing the system. Under the previous service alignment, two buses ran from the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station at the government complex along Airport Road to Immokalee Road, west to US 41, with service to the Naples Community Hospital along US 41, and then south back to the Transfer Station. The third bus ran from the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station north along US 41 (with service to the Naples Community Hospital) continuing on to Immokalee Road, east to Airport Road, and then south back to the Transfer Station. On March 1, 2009 the routes were modified as shown on Figure 2 -3. Effective March 1, 2009,' Routes 1A and 1B no longer serve the Naples Community Hospital in Downtown Naples; this hospital is now served by the Orange Route. Route IA This route now only operates Monday through Saturday; Sunday service has been discontinued. This route has been streamlined and now runs from the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station, heads north on Airport- Pulling Road, west on Immokalee Road, south on US 41, and then returns to the Collier County Government Center. This route serves North Collier Hospital, Creekside Commerce Park, and the Coastland Mall. Route 16 This route continues to operate Monday through Sunday. The route has been modified and now heads north on US 41 from the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station, east on Immokalee Road to serve Creekside Parkway and North Collier Hospital. Route 1B travels west on Immokalee Road, south on US 41 serving the Coastland Mall, and then travels on US 41 back to the Collier County Government Center. Route 1B has a transfer connection with Route 1C on Creekside Parkway across the street from the post office between Creekside Trail and Creekside Way. Route IC This route was implemented on March 1, 2009 and operates Monday through Sunday. Route 1C runs from the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station, heading north on Airport- Pulling Road, west on Immokalee Road, serving Creekside Commerce Park, then travels east on Immokalee Road, south on Airport- Pulling Road back to the Collier County Government Center. This route serves North Collier Hospital and Creekside Parkway. Route 1C connects with Route 1B on Creekside Parkway across the street from the post office between Creekside Trail and Creekside Way. Figure 2 -3 illustrates the Route 1 modifications that took effect on March 1, 2009. The light pink dashed line illustrates the Route 1A and 1B alignments - as operated in FY 2008. The thin red line shows the Route 1A alignment that was implemented on March 1, 2009. Similarly, the green line depicts the Route 1B alignment that was recently implemented. As shown on Figure 2 -3, Routes 1A and Route 1B no longer stop at Naples Community Hospital.

As noted earlier, as of March 1, 2009, routes lA and 113 no longer serve the Naples Community Hospital in Downtown Naples; the Orange Route (Routes 2A and 2B) now offers this service. Because of this change, ridership should be expected to remain stable or decrease through the end of FY 2008 -2009, due to the elimination of service to the Naples Community Hospital. Total ridership for 2008 -09 will need to be monitored to see how the recent route modification affects annual ridership. • Orange Route: As shown on Figure 2 -5, this route has been realigned to serve the Naples Community Hospital in Downtown Naples. In 2004, the Orange Route was operating over capacity so the stop at the Naples Community Hospital was diverted to the Red Route. On March 1, 2009, the revised service plan was approved so that the Orange Route stops at the Naples Community Hospital once again. Route 2A This route continues to operate Monday through Sunday. Route 2A now serves Naples Community Hospital in downtown Naples, which was previously served by Red Route 1A and 1B.

Route 2A travels south along Goodlette -Frank Road to US 41, traveling south on Bayshore Drive and east on Thomasson Drive. Route 2A travels north from Thomasson Drive on US 41 to the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station. Route 28 This route now operates Monday through Saturday. Sunday service has been discontinued. Route 2B also now serves Naples Community Hospital in downtown Naples. Route 2B runs from the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station along US 41 to Thomasson Drive. The route continues traveling west along Thomasson Drive, north on Bayshore Drive, and north along US 41 to Fleischman Boulevard. From Fleischman Boulevard, Route 2B travels west to US 41 and then travels south. The route circulates around the Naples Community Hospital in Downtown Naples and then continues south along US 41, east on Davis Boulevard, and south on Airport - Pulling Road to the Collier County Government Center Transfer Station. Figure 2 -5 illustrates the Route 2 modifications that took effect on March 1, 2009. The light orange dashed line illustrates the Route 2 alignments - as operated in FY 2008. The thin dark orange line shows the Route 2A alignment and the medium orange line shows the Route 2B alignment as they were implemented on March 1, 2009. As shown on Figure 2 -5, Routes 2A and Route 2B now both stop at the Naples Community Hospital. Figure 2 -6 below shows ridership trends by year on Routes 2A and 2B. The previous TDP annual update indicated that a couple of factors contributed to the decline in ridership from 2005 to 2008. First, service to the Naples Community Hospital was diverted from the Orange Route to the Red Route in 2004. Secondly, the original Orange Route comprised two buses travelling in the same direction at 30 minute intervals. In April 2006, a reverse route was established creating Routes 2A and 2B with one -hour frequencies. An increase in ridership on this route may be expected for 2009 -10 due to the reinstatement of service to the Naples Community Hospital in Downtown Naples.

Source: McDonald Transit Ridership Data, FY 2005 -2009 Figure 2 -8 shows ridership trends on Route 4A and 4B. This route has experienced a steady decline in ridership over the years. Ridership reductions were planned to ease overcrowding. High levels of ridership led to standing room only conditions on Route 4. Route 9 was implemented in 2007, overlapping Route 4, to ease capacity issues and improve customer comfort and convenience. Earlier this year, staff recommended that Route 4B be eliminated because ridership had continued to decline beyond planned levels. At the public hearing, several citizens expressed concern regarding the proposed elimination of Route 4B. A petition with over 100 signatures from concerned citizens was submitted at the November County ATM Top Annual Progress Report 2 -10 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 76 of 120 2008 public meeting requesting that CAT retain and continue to operate Route 413. In response to these concerns, CAT staff developed an alternative plan that would allow Route 413 to remain in service. CAT will continue to monitor ridership and route performance statistics to determine whether this route should be continued or modified. Ridership should be examined again next year when the Major TDP Update is prepared. • Blue Route: Route 5 — This route has not been described or illustrated since no alignment, schedule, or other route modifications were approved this year. 80,000 70,000 60,000 CL 50,000 w 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 Figure 2 -9 Ridership by Fiscal Year for Route 5 (Blue Route) 2005 -06 2006 -07 2007 -08 2008 -09* IN 2005 -06 ■ 2006 -07 IN 2007 -08 IN 2008 -09* * 2008 -09 data is included through July 2009 only.

As of October 2008, a section of Route 9 was extended to serve Naples Big Cypress Market and this may lead to continued ridership improvements. Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 2 -17 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 83 of 120 Fare Changes The Board of County Commissioners approved fare changes (as depicted in Table 2 -2) in December 2008, with a March 1, 2009 implementation date, in order for CAT to comply with budget cutbacks. Also, effective March 1, 2009, CAT introduced a weekly pass. The base fare increased by 25 cents, from $1.25 to $1.50. Fares for youth (under age 17) and riders who are elderly and disabled increased from 60 cents to 75 cents. Children, aged five and under, continue to ride all CAT buses for free. Transfer fees have been added for transferring from one bus to another. The transfer fee is 75 cents for full base fares and 35 cents for reduced fares. Prior to March 1, 2009, riders received one free transfer with each paid fare. The weekly pass is $15.00 for full base fare passengers and $7.50 for reduced fare passengers. Daily pass and monthly pass rates did not change. The monthly pass for full fare remains at $35.00 and for reduced fare, the rate remains at $17.50. Daily pass rates remain at $4 for full fare and $2.00 for reduced fare riders. Rates for the Marco Express did not change.

This transfer site is temporary while the County pursues building a future (permanent) transfer facility nearby on the government campus. Both the Government Center Transfer Facility locations are shown in Figure 2 -17. CAT has been awarded a grant to design and build a permanent passenger transfer station and intermodal facility at the Collier County Government Center adjacent to US 41 (Tamiami Trail) as shown on Figure 2 -17. CAT's plan is to temporarily provide a Transfer Facility as the County continues to move forward with the planning and design phases beginning next year for the permanent location. Figure 2 -17 Future Location of Collier Government Center Transfer Station Collier County has received an Intermodal Hub Capacity Grant in the amount of $1,300,000 over a three -year period. These State Intermodal Development Program funds will allow Collier County to begin design in FY 2010 with the goal of completing the facility by 2013. Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 2 -20 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 86 of 120 Collier Area Transit Operations and Administration Facility (CAT Ops) Collier County purchased a ten acre site at 8300 Radio Road, Naples, Florida in 2007. The property is located on the south side of Radio Road, a short distance west of the Radio Road/ Davis Boulevard intersection (see Figure 2 -16). When this property was purchased, Collier County intended to use the site for all CAT operations including a passenger transfer station. However, due to zoning restrictions, only the CAT Operations and Administration uses were approved and implemented. Collier County has been awarded a federal planning grant to pursue zoning approval for the passenger transfer station at the Radio Road site. A series of conditional use public hearings will be required to obtain final zoning approval. If approved, the proposed transfer station would be the sixth passenger transfer facility in the CAT system. The proposed Radio Road station would create a safe and convenient location for CAT passengers to make transfers in the eastern portion of the service area. CAT Routes 3, 5, and 6 (i.e. the purple, yellow, and blue routes) converge near the Radio Road site. Providing passenger transfer facilities in areas where bus routes already converge improves passenger convenience, reduces passenger commute times, enhances community connectivity, and leads to improved ridership over time. Customer Marketing CAT Transfer Facility at the Collier County Government Center: The CAT Transfer Facility offers customers an opportunity to meet the friendly and knowledgeable CAT personnel. Community outreach is strong at this transfer station. Many visitors to the Government Center stop to ask CAT personnel for directions, which helps to provide a positive image for transit. Updated Schedules: CAT continues to update the website with pertinent information, including: fares, routes, stops, and services offered. New schedules were printed and distributed throughout the community to inform citizens of route modifications effective March 1, 2009. The new route maps and schedules can also be downloaded from the website. Capital Equipment: With the election of a new President of the United States and new federal administration, several opportunities were introduced after January 2009 for "shovel ready" public transportation improvements. Collier County has requested and is pursuing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) grant funds to provide for capital projects including electronic fare - boxes, CAT Operations building improvements for accessibility and safety, automatic vehicle location equipment, and computer aided dispatch devices. Other funding requests consisted of items including: system infrastructure upgrades to accommodate automated vehicle locaters, mobile data systems, expanded GIS /Route planning software, the purchase of hybrid buses, and security cameras for the fixed -route and paratransit vehicles. Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 2 -21 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 87 of 120 Electronic fare boxes, automatic vehicle location equipment, computer aided dispatch equipment, mobile data systems, and security cameras could enhance customer convenience, improve schedule adherence, and increase the efficiency of CAT fixed route service. These improvements were identified in the 2008 TDP Annual Update and were originally scheduled for implementation in FY 2014. If the ARRA grants are approved, then CAT will be able to implement these projects four years earlier. Collier County would not have been able to afford this type of equipment for many years without ARRA funding. If these ARRA grant requests are approved, they will represent significant progress for the agency which would not have been possible otherwise. County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 2 -22 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 88 of 120 SECTION 3 REVISIONS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN This section provides a comparison of accomplishments in 2009 to the Implementation Plan as part of the 2005 Major Transit Development Plan (TDP). This section also provides an analysis of all discrepancies between the 2005 Major TDP, the implementation in the past year (2009), and any revisions to the steps that will be taken to attain the original goals and objectives in future years. Accomplishments in the Past Year: Accomplishment: Despite budget shortfalls, CAT was able to maintain the existing service area. CAT conducted a highly successful public outreach effort which informed CAT passengers that budget shortfalls would necessitate route, schedule, and /or fare modifications. Members of the public were able to attend the public meetings and state their concerns regarding public transportation priorities. Route, schedule, and fare modifications were made after considering the public comments and making the appropriate adjustments. As a result, CAT staff adjusted the routes, eliminated some Sunday services, and increased fares rather than eliminating routes. The route changes, schedule modifications, and fare increases were implemented on March 1, 2009. The CAT service area was maintained and riders were aware of the reason for service changes. Accomplishment: Collier County staff continues to pursue grant opportunities, such as the ARRA or "Stimulus" funding program. Staff has successfully identified potential grant opportunities and pursued new funding sources in cooperation with the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) staff and FDOT. In addition, Collier County staff continues to pursue the Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) and New Freedom (NF) funds (FTA Sections 5316 and 5317, respectively). Accomplishment: CAT continues to offer quality customer service at the Transit Operations Facility and the CAT Transfer Facility at the Government Center. Personnel are available to assist customers, as needed, throughout the day. Accomplishment: CAT has maintained ridership, with approximately 1.2 million one -way trips annually as illustrated in Figure 3 -1. Staff will need to closely monitor CAT ridership and performance in the period following the fare and route modifications adopted on March 1, 2009 to gauge the effect on the overall system and ridership.

Accomplishment: Collier County staff implemented additional internal coordination meetings with the contract operator in an effort to enhance communications and proactively plan activities. The meetings focused on issues, opportunities, and constraints related to the day -to- day fixed -route bus operations and paratransit service delivery. Additionally, new report formats and performance analyses are being incorporated into planning meetings. Each body is now informed about future planning events, budget implications, schedule changes, vehicle updates, reporting deadlines, etc. Other smaller scale accomplishments have occurred over the past year and are discussed in the following chapter.

These goals and objectives reflect the strategic focus of the TDP and are purposely designed to address the broad concepts of transit system operation that were identified during the goal updating process. As a result, the objectives vary in their level of specificity. It is envisioned that these goals will provide the framework from which CAT will continue to grow and develop. Each of the six goals has measured objectives to chart progress as well as action items that are to be taken in order to achieve the objectives. The goals and objectives are consistent with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the portion of the Transportation Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. The Collier County Transportation Development Plan identifies means by which local government units and private- business enterprises may plan, develop, and implement a flexible, safe, efficient, visually - appealing, environmentally sound, and cost - effective public transportation system that provides for the mobility of residents and visitors, while being coordinated with local land use planning and economic development goals. The following tables examine all objectives in Goals 1 through 6 for implementation measures taken through May 2009.

The process included an analysis of the demographics and economic conditions of the County, including vehicle availability, travel time to work, and journey to work characteristics. Public involvement was a critical component of the TDP update process. An extensive public involvement program was implemented, which included conducting and analyzing CAT on -board surveys and CAT bus operator surveys. A series of workshops were also conducted within the community to obtain the public perception of the transit system and gain insight into reasons for using and /or not using public transit. The process also included interviews with key local officials and other public involvement efforts. Existing transit services were evaluated to determine trends, which involved an examination of the system's performance from its inception through fiscal year (FY) 2004. Performance through 2005 was also considered. A peer review was conducted, comparing the performance of CAT with other select Florida transit systems that share similar vehicle Fleet sizes, service characteristics and operating environments. Other tasks completed in the development of the 2005 Major TDP involved the preparation of demand estimates for public transit in Collier County over the planning period, the assessment of mobility needs in the County, and an evaluation of alternative methods for increasing mobility through transit system improvements. The needs assessment also summarized information concerning unmet demands within the service area, service span and frequency, types of services, and multimodal linkages that may contribute to improved public transit service and mobility for residents and visitors of the County. Finally, a review of complementary planning documents was conducted in order to maintain consistency among transit goals and objectives for Collier County. The Comprehensive Plans for Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City, Collier County's Long Range Transportation Plan, Growth Management Plan, Comprehensive Pathways Plan, Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan, Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council's (SWFRPC) Strategic Regional Policy Plan, and Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Transit 2020: Strategic Plan for Public Transportation were all reviewed. Based on these technical evaluation results, public involvement, and transit operator and staff discussions, broad alternatives for CAT's future were developed and prioritized over the 10 -year planning period. These alternatives are based on CAT's vision and the goals and objectives identified in the 2005 Major TDP. Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 5 -1 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 100 of 120 Table 5 -1 provides details for the implementation actions recommended, hereafter known as the "Implementation Plan ", which also includes progress information for each project accomplished during the years identified and then re- prioritizes each project for the next year of the TDP. An additional tenth year is added to the implementation plan with each annual update. Collier County is faced with significant financial challenges resulting from the current economic recession and its impact on employment, dwindling local tax revenues and state funding, among other factors. In light of these factors and the magnitude of the proposed Implementation Plan, Collier County should consider preparing an independent strategic review of services known as a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA). The first step in implementing the proposed actions identified in Table 5 -1 should be to prepare a COA, which would ensure that actions identified in the Implementation Plan are pursued by CAT in a systematic and cost - effective manner. The purpose of this COA would be to conduct a complete evaluation of programmed services to determine the most effective approach to providing public transportation service in Collier County within the current financial and operating constraints. The COA would help to maximize the impact of taxpayer funding for transit by understanding how the results of one project would impact other investments, strategically pursuing new investments, improving system efficiency, and directing transit investments to areas where they are most needed and beneficial. The COA would consist of a system wide analysis of all operations including: the size of the fleet, size of the service area, existing fixed -route services, super stops, performance statistics, activity generators, transit orientation index, and would recommend the most efficient corridors as well as an overall operations plan. Conducting this COA would ensure that the Implementation Plan is undertaken as a systematic, rather than an incremental process. To identify potential components of a future COA, a column has been added to Table 5 -1 specifying which projects should be evaluated as part of a COA study, if conducted. This COA would be funded, in part, by combining the funds that would have been spent conducting incremental studies each year. In order to take this funding approach, the County would need to wait until 2013 to complete the analysis unless other funding became available sooner. Despite the budget shortfalls incurred by many local governments during this past fiscal year, CAT was able to complete some of the recommendations contained in the Implementation Plan. During the past year, the Government Center Transfer Facility has improved service and amenities for CAT passengers and the general public. CAT personnel are positioned at the transfer facility and are available for public outreach and personal customer service, thereby improving overall quality of service. Goal One and Goal Four focus on serving major activity centers and providing quality service. In addition, securing new funding sources through the Economic Recovery and Stimulus program are proactive planning actions being taken by ATM and will assist in the overall capital infrastructure of the program.

I N U SECTION 6 FINANCIAL PLAN FINANCIAL PLAN Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 110 of 120 A number of assumptions were made pertaining to public transportation costs and revenues for the time period from FY 2010 through FY 2019. These assumptions, made for operating and capital costs and revenues for fixed -route and complementary ADA paratransit services, are based on a variety of factors, including trend data and previous TDPs. These assumptions are summarized below. Cost Assumptions • Estimated costs for FY 2010 -2019 are based on budget estimates from the adopted 2008 TDP Minor Update and from updated operational information from the ATM Department, as appropriate. • The annual operating costs for maintaining fixed -route and paratransit services are updated from the ATM Department's current operating costs with a 3.5 percent inflation rate used from 2011 -2019. Note that the cost of providing ADA paratransit is included with the total fixed -route operating costs for each year. No additional ADA paratransit service costs are assumed for the funded service increases, which are planned in the same areas where ADA paratransit services are currently available. • The number of replacement buses is determined based on FTA guidelines and fleet management recommendations. Based on transit staff input, an average unit cost of $400,000 is assumed for a fixed -route replacement bus while an average unit cost of $75,000 is assumed for an ADA paratransit replacement bus, also a van for $42,000 and a support vehicle /truck for $40,000. In addition, the unit cost for engine rebuilds is assumed at $40,000. Unit cost assumptions for the capital items are summarized below on Table 6 -1, with the vehicle replacement schedule shown on Table 6 -2 on the following page. • Acquisition and installation of bus stop shelters assumes a cost of approximately $145,000 for 2010, based on discussions with Collier County staff. FY 2011 has an estimate of $150,500 and $158,000 for FY 2012. A flat planning estimate of $250,000 per year is budgeted for this infrastructure program for years 2013 through 2019.

The SAFETEA -LU legislation expires in September 2009. When the new federal transportation bill is passed, these revenues should be updated. For planning purposes it is assumed that the County will be successful in capturing $274,000 in 2010, with a 3.5 percent inflation factor per year from 2011 -2019. Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 6-2 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 112 of 120 • The existing FDOT State Block Grant revenues are contained in the FDOT Work Program. The total allocation for Collier County is determined based on total revenue miles and total ridership reported to the NTD. Future revenues are based on the assumption that Collier County will annually submit National Transit Database (NTD) reports. • FDOT Service Development funds for FY 2010 ($492,556) are based upon current allocations as provided by ATM staff. The FY 2010 is larger due to a one -time allocation. For planning purposes, FY 2011 is at the level of $250,000, with a 3.5 percent inflation rate for 2012 -2019. • Section 5316 - Job Access Reverse Commute (]ARC) funds for FY 2010 ($98,268) are based upon current allocations. For planning purposes, the FY 2011 -2019 allocations have been projected based upon the current allocation with an annual increase at the assumed rate of inflation (3.5 %), as suggested by ATM Staff. • Section 5317 — New Freedom (NF) funds for FY 2010 ($91,133) are based upon current allocations. For planning purposes, the FY 2011 -2019 allocations have been projected based upon the current allocation with an annual increase at the assumed rate of inflation (3.5 %), as suggested by ATM Staff. • Farebox revenues for existing fixed -route services ($811,000) are based on current farebox income provided by ATM staff. For planning purposes, FY 2011 -2019 Farebox Revenue has been projected to grow at an annual rate of three percent (3 %) which is lower than the inflation rate. Farebox revenues for the expanded services reflect the projections provided in the last Major TDP Update except that the numbers have been rounded. This is additional farebox revenue that is anticipated to be generated by service improvements and would not occur at these levels if service improvements are delayed due to budgetary or other constraints. • The FY 2010 local gas tax option is budgeted at $1,778,000. FY 2011 is estimated at $1,500,000 based upon recent data from the ATM Department. FY 2012 -2019 assumes a 3.5 percent growth. • Collier County funds for FY 2010 and FY 2011 are estimated at $2,089,400 and $1,880,400 based upon ATM Department data. FY 2012 -2019 assumes a 3.5 percent growth rate. Figure 6 -3, shown on the following page, is the unfunded transit priorities list, as approved by the MPO Board on September 12, 2008.

These tables are shown for planning purposes only and should not be considered a proposed budget. It should be noted that budget shortfalls have been identified. It is not unusual for planning level documents such as the TDP to include projects for which funding has not yet been identified. The operating deficit for fixed -route and ADA paratransit services is projected to be $17.8 million and capital deficit is $3.9 million, with a total deficit of approximately $21.7 million for the five year period from IY 2010 — FY 2014. The estimated cost for continuing existing services at their current levels is $44,110,572 for the five year period from FY 2010 — FY 2014. The projected cost for implementing planned projects would be $3,113,235. The estimated costs and revenues are also presented for FY 2015 — FY 2019, which is shown for planning purposes only, and provides some insight on potential financial conditions during the last five year period of this TDP. This view allows planners to gauge public transportation development potential and assess progress toward the MPO's long range plan. Operating expenses for fixed -route and ADA paratransit services for FY 2015 — FY 2019 is projected to be at a deficit of approximately $30.4 million. The capital expenses have a projected deficit of approximately $277,805. An overall deficit for FY 2015 -2019 is $30.7 million for the last five years of the TDP. Alternative funding sources should be pursued to address future funding deficits in order to ensure the continued fiscal health of the transit system and to ensure the recommendations of the TDP can be achieved. Consideration should be given to mobility fees and increases in local sales tax as potential dedicated funding sources which would require support from the citizens of Collier County.

For that reason, the next Major TDP Update scheduled to be conducted next year should evaluate whether all of the programmed projects are necessary and feasible. In addition, serious consideration should be given to conducting a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) to consider the most cost - effective approach for providing public transportation services in Collier County. As discussed earlier in this report, a broad array of projects have the potential to increase ridership but they may not be feasible in light of the anticipated budget shortfalls projected to occur over the next ten years. Given the estimated costs and revenues identified in Table 6 -4A and Table 6 -46, additional service cutbacks may occur in the short -term or additional resources will be needed to maintain the current service levels.

ANNUAL FAREBOX RECOVERY RATIO REPORT— 2008/2009 COLLIER AREA TRANSIT FIXED -ROUTE SYSTEM, NAPLES, FLORIDA MAY, 2009 CURRENT FAREBOX RECOVERY RATIO The farebox recovery ratio for Collier Area Transit (CAT), the public transportation provider for Collier County, was 18.5 percent in FY 2008. The background with regards to the farebox recovery ratio includes the following: Prior Years Fare Studies and Changes Collier County implemented a fare increase on March 1, 2009 due to increasing operating costs. The current fare structure is shown in Section 2 of this report. The base fare is $1.50 and a weekly pass was introduced. Most fares increased by 25 cents. Fares for youth (under age 17) and for riders who are elderly and /or disabled is 75 cents. There is a new transfer charge which is 75 cents for full base fares and 35 cents for reduced fares. Prior to March 1, 2009, riders received one free transfer with each paid fare. Children age five and under continue to ride all CAT buses for free. The new weekly pass is $15.00 for full base fare passengers and $7.50 for reduced fare passengers. Daily pass and monthly pass rates did not change.

Collier County ATM TDP Annual Progress Report 7 -2 September 2009 Agenda Item No. 16A21 July 27, 2010 Page 119 of 120 STRATEGIES THAT WILL AFFECT THE FAREBOX RECOVERY RATIO The 2009 Collier Area Transit Annual Progress Report to the Transit Development Plan identifies several strategies that will be used to maintain or increase the farebox recovery ratio, including the following themes: • Monitoring key performance measures for individual fixed- routes. • Ensuring that transit serves major activity centers, which can increase the effectiveness of the service. • Increasing ridership through marketing efforts such as: • Handing out bus schedules in high traffic areas, • Updating bus maps and schedules, as needed, • Updating website, as needed, • Meeting with groups of potential riders, Working with local employers to provide incentives for transit use, and • Researching ways to improve customer communication. Additional transit improvements are planned and discussed within this report. The improvements will allow CAT to provide more service to Collier County residents. In addition, frequency will be improved in order to make transit more convenient for potential riders. While these improvements may temporarily reduce the farebox recovery ratio, the long -term increases in ridership will allow for more efficient service and a greater farebox recovery ratio in the long - run.
