and review bus routes times in which LExpress buses are running routes with no passengers.So we need of the answer the question of which bus routes and which bus times are not utilized.So there's no passengers.So that question is,we want that fact.And we want to write it here.So we should get that from the bus companies. Review residential riders needs.Susan has the heat maps based on the demographics,let's surface those. And Howard,Sally and Sharon had talked about the different demographics were called out here.Now, Howard,and the group we'd talked been talking about these various,a potential recommendation around on-demand services.So it's here.And it probably flows out of the conversation on residential rider needs. But actually goes at the end for where like,where we'd make the recommendation.But we talked about making a recommendation about this.Deepika,you talked about schools.So here's that and then Carolyn was digging into the school bus contract and the school bus operations to see around a potential recommendation there.Because we really have no parent requests for LExpress expansion. Current funding,so this is a straight financial section. 5 Sally We do have a lot of requests about expansion.I mean,a lot of people even spoke up at our meeting, 3 Bridger Where are they?Where are the parent requests,i.e.where is that information documented?Be able to identify the data,here's where it's actually one parent saying,like,you know,I need to pick up for my kid and this one place doesn't equal we should add a bus in that area. 5 Sally Okay,all right.It wasn't specific.It was like we need different scheduling and a different attention toward XYZ but okay,when we all need to debate right now. 3 Bridger But if there's a volume of it,like it's come into the school that this would close this gap,then we should surface it.All right.Carolyn,I have had a bunch of sidebars on this Carolyn,this is our burden to bear and here.And there is some opportunity here to go into the route 128 Business Council and really look at not on having a charrette about transportation,but actually look at service delivery and what's the difference between changing up the model.Alright,so here's this is a requirement of the report,summarizing ridership.And I believe Susan you have this ridership table of routes.I believe it is in a couple of route 128 Business Council documents but and this is our cost per ride.And then there's the fare analysis and new fare recommendations.Now.We have to revisit this as painful as is we have this fare that Select Board approves.But we need to take a position formally in the report about whether or not that's something that should continue or,you know,stop or have a different approach.Some one has to write this section. All right,cost passenger analysis in relation to other things.So this was the northeastern research.And Sally,I think you talked about,you have a great primer on this as well that you were writing. 5
