CFPTA Agenda Packet 03/26/20152
impacted by intangibles like inclement weather, etc… The Azalea Festival Shuttle is scheduled for
Saturday, April 11, 2015. Buses will provide service from 7:30 am until one hour after the parade
ends. Approval of the board for the special route is recommended.
7) Advanced Technology Program Resolution (p. 10)
The FY16 Advanced Technology Grant application project proposes to install an interface between
the farebox collection system and the AVL system for all fixed route vehicles. The interface will
provide critical passenger data that will be used to make planning and operational decisions to
improve the current service. The interface will provide not only ridership counts at specific stops,
but also the demographics at each boarding location; i.e. wheelchair boarding, senior, student,
bicycle loaded, etc. The resulting data will be reviewed and analyzed to implement service
improvements such as amenities locations, bus stop access and route adjustment decisions. The
technology will be especially useful during our five year short term planning efforts. The project
cost is estimated not to exceed $25,000 with a 10% local match. Local matching funds not to
exceed $2,500 will be allocated to capital in the FY 2016 operating budget if approved. Approval of
the Resolution is recommended.

discovered in the parking and garage areas
He stated the materials and testing firm indicated that as much as 20-40% of the concrete area is cracked
Mr. Eby said a recent meeting was held on site with the structural engineer and the materials testing firm
to determine what happened during the concrete install to cause the cracking

and replaced

the concrete

and moved independently which they did not

After consultation with experts, an epoxy repair to the cracks may be considered

agrees to the proposal, the repairs can move forward
Mr. Eby said that the committee has also considered requesting extending the maintenance bond for up
to ten years

addressed by the General Contractor

understanding on how to safely handle any CNG fires

issued
