Given the ongoing discussions on how to appropriately update the performance targets, the FY 2013 TPR does not include performance targets. For the FY 2013 TPR, the reporting basis continues to use the updated methodology used in the FY 2012 TPR. In general, this reporting basis incorporates a greater scope of operating activities to conform with NTD standards. As a result, some financial measures are not directly comparable to FY 2011 data, which was reported under the old methodology.

It is equal to total fare revenue collected divided by total boardings. Boarding A boarding is known as an unlinked passenger trip. Every time a person boards a vehicle it is counted as a boarding. For example, if a person makes a trip involving one transfer, this trip is counted as two boardings. Circulators Circulator routes typically serve small specific areas with short routes that are designed to provide connections between transportation systems and other area attractions, like employment centers or schools. Many circulator routes charge no fare. Express/RAPID Express/RAPID routes provide higher speed services by operating within a limited stop and other enhancements. Express/RAPID routes operate on regional freeways. Farebox Recovery Ratio This is the percentage of total operating cost that is covered by fares collected. It is equal to total fare revenue collected divided by total operating costs. Fixed Route Fixed route bus service typically operates along a designated or “fixed” route with no deviations. Characteristics of this service type include controlled vehicle frequencies and scheduled passenger stops. In this report, fixed route service comprises Local, Express, RAPID, LINK, Circulator and Rural Connector routes. LINK Service LINK is a type of bus service operating on arterial streets that functions as an extension of Valley Metro Rail and features limited stops, signal priority and near level boarding. Local Bus Route Local bus routes may operate on either arterial or local collector streets. These are designed to serve localized trip patterns with one or more cities. National Transit Database (NTD) National Transit Database was established by Congress as a primary source for information and statistics on the transit system in the United States. Any recipients of Federal Transit Administration funding are required to submit data to the NTD. Net Vanpool Starts Calculated by subtracting number of deleted vanpools from the number of new vanpools started. On-Time Performance ADA Percent of all ADA trips that are picked up within the 30 minute ready window. Bus Percent of all trips that operate no more than 0 minutes early and 5 minutes late, compared to scheduled arrival/departure times at published time points. Rail Percent of all trips that arrive at the opposite terminal within 0 minutes early and 5 minutes late of scheduled arrival times. Operating Cost Total costs associated with the operation of revenue vehicles which includes maintenance and administrative costs. These are gross costs (fare revenue has not been subtracted). Transit Performance Report (TPR) | FY 2013 (July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013) 15 Glossary Paratransit Service This service is a shared-ride origin to destination service where an individual can request transportation from one specific location to another specific location at a certain time. This service complements fixed route service. Some systems restrict service to those who are ADA certified, while other systems offer service to the general public. Revenue Hour A revenue hour is an hour that one vehicle in revenue service is available to pick up fare-paying passengers. If ten vehicles are in revenue service for two hours each, they collectively perform twenty revenue hours of service. Revenue Mile A revenue mile is a mile traveled by one vehicle in revenue service that is available to pick up revenue passengers. If ten vehicles are in service for two miles each, they collectively perform twenty revenue miles of service. Rural Routes Rural routes typically provide connections between rural and urban communities. Subsidy per Boarding Also known as net operating cost per boarding, this is the operating cost per boarding minus the fare revenue per boarding. This number indicates the amount of public funding that is used to make up the difference between the cost of providing transportation service and the revenue generated by this service on a per boarding basis. Weekday / Saturday / Sunday Average Daily Boardings This measures boardings on a typical weekday, Saturday or Sunday. This is calculated by dividing total boardings on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday by the number of weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays in the fiscal year. Revenue Service Revenue service occurs when a vehicle is available to the general public and there is an expectation of carrying passengers who pay the required fare. Vehicles operated in fare-free service are also considered in revenue service. Revenue service includes layover/ recovery time, but does not include deadhead (i.e. travel from garage to the start point of a route) or vehicle maintenance testing.
