A i:2/�-
Due to high subsidy costs and the apparent possibility of discontinuing the
MVTA route 46 that serves Rosemount, the MVTA has revised the route with
the hopes of increasing ridership, decreasing the subsidy and expanding
service and flexibility of schedules within Rosemount and Eagan. All this,
while keeping within budget!
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Revised Route 46 as recommended by the MVTA.
COUNCIL ACTION:

Attachments: Monthly Subsidy #1

Picture of Bus #6
At its August 28th, 1991, meeting, the Minnesota Valley Transit
Authority (MVTA) approved, subject to the Rosemount and Eagan
City Councils approval, a revised route 46. The reason for the
revision is that the current route has a very high subsidy of
$5.84 per passenger due to the small number of passengers it
serves. The Regional Transit Board has established a performance
standard of $3.85 and would be suggesting the route be
discontinued.
Since this is the only route serving Rosemount, MVTA has taken
steps to ensure Rosemount continues to be served and moves the
MVTA toward one of its goals to establish a trunk and feeder
system within the six member cities. (Please refer to the
attached revised route map, Attachments #4 and #5.) As of now,
there are no RTB performance standards set for a trunk feeder
route. The increased yearly cost of approximately $3,000 is due
to increased runtime of 20 minutes per day and is within the
1991 budget amount.
The bus to be used will be a smaller van -like bus as is currently
used so I do not expect any adverse effects on the neighborhoods
along the route. The return trip for the second run will take
the quickest way possible as time is imperative in meeting other
schedules. The return trip will probably be Pilot Knob to County
Road 38 to Hwy 3. If, as the route is established, we find time
to pick up passengers on the return trip, we will do so. Also,
if time allows, the return trip could be changed, to a reverse
route. Please be aware this is a demonstration project to see
how a trunk and feeder system will work within the MVTA area and
we will be learning as we go
The revision would be effective October 7, 1991, with
notification made to current passengers and residents along the
route. I also suggest a newspaper article. No additional fares
are expected, and travel time to St. Paul is expected to be about
the same as now.
I recommend approval of this revision for the following reasons:
1. Increased Flexibility
Current: one run in morning, one in late afternoon to St.
Paul only.
Revised: two runs in morning, two in late afternoon with
option to connect with MPLS or St. Paul bound express bus.
2. Serve More People
Current: runs through less populated areas causing low
ridership, high subsidy.
Revised: runs through more populated areas with potential
for increased ridership, decreased subsidy.
3. Keep Service Within Member Cities
Current: serves non-member cities of Inver Grove Heights and
Mendota Heights with no enumeration to MVTA.
Revised: Service member cities of Rosemount and Eagan.
I will be happy to answer any questions at the Council meeting on
Tuesday. Have a nice weekend.
