It also recognizes the role which public transportation can play in creating and sustaining a city which is energy and resource efficient. It has therefore developed the following policy which will guide its future decisions regarding public transit. 1. Public transit should be provided on a regional, inter-jurisdictional basis by a flexible, multi-modal system which complements and/or utilizes the region’s roadway system and is responsive to the transportation needs of transit dependent riders and riders of choice. 2. The public transit system should be funded on an equitable, multi-jurisdictional basis. 3. The public transit system must include planning and service delivery capabilities which enable it to respond to transportation related priorities and needs with appropriate modes such as fixed-route large and small buses, flexible route services, paratransit services and vanpools. 4. Quality and cost-efficiency characteristics of the public transit system should be evaluated annually. These will include travel times, user and citizen satisfaction, safety, cost per passenger and cost per mile of operation. 5. The public transit system should be continuously marketed, both to maintain public support for its continuance, and to inform citizens how to use it. 6. Citizens must be provided frequent opportunities to be involved in decisions affecting the public transit system. 7. Development and redevelopment projects should be encouraged to locate in areas on or near current or proposed public transit routes and should include accommodations for use of public transit. Public transit system staff should play an active roll in the review of proposals for all such projects. 8. The public transit system should play an active role in improving transit-supportive infrastructure, such as sidewalks and bicycle facilities and the creation of services needed by transit riders. 9. The public transit system should provide user-friendly connections with all modes of inter-city travel. 10. The provider of this public transit system should: a. Coordinate jobs transportation on a region-wide basis, b. Determine regional transit needs, in cooperation with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) and all other transit providers, c. Determine regional transit resources, in cooperation with MARC and all other transit providers, and d. Develop recommendations as to how resources can be used to meet regional needs, in cooperation with MARC and all other transit providers. Since this policy must be responsive to ever changing transportation needs and demands, it must be periodically reviewed, and revised if needed.
