Comprehensive Fare Ordinance
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceencompassing fares charged on all public transit vehicles in San Diego County operated byMetropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) on March 242006
The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance consolidates the existing fare levels and regulations of MTS andNCTD into a single SANDAG ordinance
The Fare Ordinance is consistent with SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy whichprovides the regional framework for transit fares All fare changes including fare increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors or the TransportationCommittee Public hearings will be held whenever fare changes are being considered
2018-2019 Fare Changes
In 2018 MTS and NCTD are proposing to amend the ordinance to adjust transit fares and willcollect public comments at six public meetings throughout the region The adjustments are neededbecause while operational costs have increased over the past 10 years fare revenues havedeclined and fares have not increased Increasing fare revenue will assist in maintaining highlevels of service and simplifying the fare structure across the region

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Public Transit
Comprehensive Fare Ordinance
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceencompassing fares charged on all public transit vehicles in San Diego County operated byMetropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) on March 242006
The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance consolidates the existing fare levels and regulations of MTS andNCTD into a single SANDAG ordinance
The Fare Ordinance is consistent with SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy whichprovides the regional framework for transit fares All fare changes including fare increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors or the TransportationCommittee Public hearings will be held whenever fare changes are being considered
2018-2019 Fare Changes
In 2018 MTS and NCTD are proposing to amend the ordinance to adjust transit fares and willcollect public comments at six public meetings throughout the region The adjustments are neededbecause while operational costs have increased over the past 10 years fare revenues havedeclined and fares have not increased Increasing fare revenue will assist in maintaining highlevels of service and simplifying the fare structure across the region
After public input is received and analyzed a final recommendation will be considered by theSANDAG MTS and NCTD boards of directors

MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Comprehensive Fare Ordinance
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceencompassing fares charged on all public transit vehicles in San Diego County operated byMetropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) on March 242006
The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance consolidates the existing fare levels and regulations of MTS andNCTD into a single SANDAG ordinance
The Fare Ordinance is consistent with SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy whichprovides the regional framework for transit fares All fare changes including fare increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors or the TransportationCommittee Public hearings will be held whenever fare changes are being considered
2018-2019 Fare Changes
In 2018 MTS and NCTD are proposing to amend the ordinance to adjust transit fares and willcollect public comments at six public meetings throughout the region The adjustments are neededbecause while operational costs have increased over the past 10 years fare revenues havedeclined and fares have not increased Increasing fare revenue will assist in maintaining highlevels of service and simplifying the fare structure across the region

MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG MTS AND NCTD TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR INPUT ONPROPOSED FARE CHANGES AND REVISIONS TO COMPREHENSIVE FARE
ORDINANCE
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District(NCTD) will hold six public meetings throughout San Diego County to collect input on proposed MTS and NCTD transit farechanges
During the meetings attendees will have the opportunity to submit public comments speak to staff members and learn moreabout the proposed changes All comments will be summarized and presented to the SANDAG MTS and NCTD boards ofdirectors over the next few months If approved by all three boards of directors the proposed changes will be implemented noearlier than January 27 2019
MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy
Because the Regional Fare Policy provides the regional framework for all transit fares any fare changes such as increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors The proposed changes also must be approved bythe MTS and NCTD boards of directors before the changes are implemented Because the proposed changes include theSeniorDisabledMedicare and Youth Regional monthly pass discounts as well as the qualifying senior age for all senior faresthe SANDAG TransNet Ordinance also will be revised if the changes are approved by all three boards of directors

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG MTS AND NCTD TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR INPUT ONPROPOSED FARE CHANGES AND REVISIONS TO COMPREHENSIVE FARE
ORDINANCE
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District(NCTD) will hold six public meetings throughout San Diego County to collect input on proposed MTS and NCTD transit farechanges
During the meetings attendees will have the opportunity to submit public comments speak to staff members and learn moreabout the proposed changes All comments will be summarized and presented to the SANDAG MTS and NCTD boards ofdirectors over the next few months If approved by all three boards of directors the proposed changes will be implemented noearlier than January 27 2019
MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy
Because the Regional Fare Policy provides the regional framework for all transit fares any fare changes such as increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors The proposed changes also must be approved bythe MTS and NCTD boards of directors before the changes are implemented Because the proposed changes include theSeniorDisabledMedicare and Youth Regional monthly pass discounts as well as the qualifying senior age for all senior faresthe SANDAG TransNet Ordinance also will be revised if the changes are approved by all three boards of directors

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Public Transit
Comprehensive Fare Ordinance
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceencompassing fares charged on all public transit vehicles in San Diego County operated byMetropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) on March 242006
The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance consolidates the existing fare levels and regulations of MTS andNCTD into a single SANDAG ordinance
The Fare Ordinance is consistent with SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy whichprovides the regional framework for transit fares All fare changes including fare increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors or the TransportationCommittee Public hearings will be held whenever fare changes are being considered
2018-2019 Fare Changes
In 2018 MTS and NCTD are proposing to amend the ordinance to adjust transit fares and willcollect public comments at six public meetings throughout the region The adjustments are neededbecause while operational costs have increased over the past 10 years fare revenues havedeclined and fares have not increased Increasing fare revenue will assist in maintaining highlevels of service and simplifying the fare structure across the region

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy
Because the Regional Fare Policy provides the regional framework for all transit fares any fare changes such as increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors The proposed changes also must be approved bythe MTS and NCTD boards of directors before the changes are implemented Because the proposed changes include theSeniorDisabledMedicare and Youth Regional monthly pass discounts as well as the qualifying senior age for all senior faresthe SANDAG TransNet Ordinance also will be revised if the changes are approved by all three boards of directors

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG MTS AND NCTD TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR INPUT ONPROPOSED FARE CHANGES AND REVISIONS TO COMPREHENSIVE FARE
ORDINANCE
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District(NCTD) will hold six public meetings throughout San Diego County to collect input on proposed MTS and NCTD transit farechanges
During the meetings attendees will have the opportunity to submit public comments speak to staff members and learn moreabout the proposed changes All comments will be summarized and presented to the SANDAG MTS and NCTD boards ofdirectors over the next few months If approved by all three boards of directors the proposed changes will be implemented noearlier than January 27 2019
MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy
Because the Regional Fare Policy provides the regional framework for all transit fares any fare changes such as increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors The proposed changes also must be approved bythe MTS and NCTD boards of directors before the changes are implemented Because the proposed changes include theSeniorDisabledMedicare and Youth Regional monthly pass discounts as well as the qualifying senior age for all senior faresthe SANDAG TransNet Ordinance also will be revised if the changes are approved by all three boards of directors

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Public Transit
Comprehensive Fare Ordinance
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceencompassing fares charged on all public transit vehicles in San Diego County operated byMetropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) on March 242006
The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance consolidates the existing fare levels and regulations of MTS andNCTD into a single SANDAG ordinance
The Fare Ordinance is consistent with SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy whichprovides the regional framework for transit fares All fare changes including fare increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors or the TransportationCommittee Public hearings will be held whenever fare changes are being considered
2018-2019 Fare Changes
In 2018 MTS and NCTD are proposing to amend the ordinance to adjust transit fares and willcollect public comments at six public meetings throughout the region The adjustments are neededbecause while operational costs have increased over the past 10 years fare revenues havedeclined and fares have not increased Increasing fare revenue will assist in maintaining highlevels of service and simplifying the fare structure across the region
After public input is received and analyzed a final recommendation will be considered by theSANDAG MTS and NCTD boards of directors

MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG MTS AND NCTD TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR INPUT ONPROPOSED FARE CHANGES AND REVISIONS TO COMPREHENSIVE FARE
ORDINANCE
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District(NCTD) will hold six public meetings throughout San Diego County to collect input on proposed MTS and NCTD transit farechanges
During the meetings attendees will have the opportunity to submit public comments speak to staff members and learn moreabout the proposed changes All comments will be summarized and presented to the SANDAG MTS and NCTD boards ofdirectors over the next few months If approved by all three boards of directors the proposed changes will be implemented noearlier than January 27 2019
MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy
Because the Regional Fare Policy provides the regional framework for all transit fares any fare changes such as increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors The proposed changes also must be approved bythe MTS and NCTD boards of directors before the changes are implemented Because the proposed changes include theSeniorDisabledMedicare and Youth Regional monthly pass discounts as well as the qualifying senior age for all senior faresthe SANDAG TransNet Ordinance also will be revised if the changes are approved by all three boards of directors
Six public meetings will be held in locations (accessible by transit)

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

SANDAG MTS AND NCTD TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR INPUT ONPROPOSED FARE CHANGES AND REVISIONS TO COMPREHENSIVE FARE
ORDINANCE
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District(NCTD) will hold six public meetings throughout San Diego County to collect input on proposed MTS and NCTD transit farechanges
During the meetings attendees will have the opportunity to submit public comments speak to staff members and learn moreabout the proposed changes All comments will be summarized and presented to the SANDAG MTS and NCTD boards ofdirectors over the next few months If approved by all three boards of directors the proposed changes will be implemented noearlier than January 27 2019
MTS and NCTD are proposing to adjust fare structures to ensure that safe and reliable transit services are maintained Over thelast ten years operational costs have increased while fare revenue has declined and fares have not increased The proposedchanges also will simplify the fare structure across the region making it easier to access a wide range of transit options
The SANDAG Board of Directors approved the regionrsquos first Comprehensive Fare Ordinance encompassing fares on all publictransit vehicles operated in San Diego County by MTS and NCTD in March 2006 The Comprehensive Fare Ordinanceconsolidates existing MTS and NCTD fares and regulations into a single regional ordinance which is consistent with SANDAGBoard Policy No 029 the Regional Fare Policy
Because the Regional Fare Policy provides the regional framework for all transit fares any fare changes such as increases orchanges in fare types must be approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors The proposed changes also must be approved bythe MTS and NCTD boards of directors before the changes are implemented Because the proposed changes include theSeniorDisabledMedicare and Youth Regional monthly pass discounts as well as the qualifying senior age for all senior faresthe SANDAG TransNet Ordinance also will be revised if the changes are approved by all three boards of directors

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Item 5 October 4 2018 Action Requested Information
Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month

Regional Transit Fare Study
Introduction
SANDAG Board Policy No 029 Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance provides guidelines for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare system within the County of San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) The Comprehensive Fare Ordinance (Ordinance) further defines the existing fare structure used by MTS and NCTD with a detailed listing of the available fares their prices and their limitations
SANDAG MTS and NCTD initiated a regional fare study in the spring of 2016 to look for ways to simplify the fare structure in advance of the procurement of the next generation of fare collection While simplification was the initial primary goal of the study ensuring that fare revenues keep pace with rising operational costs also has become an important consideration for the analysis performed to date
This report provides a history of the Regional Fare Policy and Comprehensive Fare Ordinance discusses the need for and status of the current transit fare study and outlines potential fare changes
Background
Fare Policy and Ordinance History
Senate Bill 1703 (Peace 2003) consolidated transit agency planning and programming functions under SANDAG and designated SANDAG as the agency responsible for developing a Regional Fare Policy including setting fares for transit services in the region through a Comprehensive Fare Ordinance The Regional Fare Policy (Board Policy No 029) calls for setting a uniform fair and equitable regionwide fare structure consistent with revenue-producing requirements and the established budget based on four key elements 1 Regional Participation 2 Production of Revenue 3 Fairness and 4 Simplicity
The Regional Fare Policy was originally adopted in 2004 and the Regional Fare Ordinance was adopted in 2006 Because the Regional Fare Policy is generally broad in nature few changes have been made to it since its adoption The Regional Fare Ordinance has been amended each time a fare change has occurred most notably with fare increases in 2008-2009 for both MTS and NCTD fare reductions in 2011 for numerous NCTD services and in 2014 to allow Universal Pass (UPass) agreements with post-secondary educational institutions
Discussion
Regional Fare Study Purpose Scope and Work to Date
SANDAG included funding to conduct a Regional Fare Study in the FY 2017 Overall Work Program and Budget The primary purpose was to simplify the fare system In addition the most recent state Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Performance Audit of SANDAG recommended that ldquoSANDAG should conduct a fare study to identify and develop opportunities to define fare policies that enhance connectivity between MTS and NCTD and with other connecting providers of public transportation services such as Amtrak and Metrolinkrdquo
69
The scope of the fare study includes the following primary activities
1 Data collection including a compilation of industry best practices peer agency fare structures agencystaff interviews and surveys regarding fares and customer surveys
2 Development and modeling of fare change scenarios to estimate the change in revenue and ridershipresulting from potential fare changes
3 Recommended new fare structure and simplification
A working group of SANDAG MTS and NCTD staff was assembled to implement the scope of work The data collection effort has been completed and reviewed by the staff working group Shortly after initial work began to develop fare simplification scenarios Ridership declines (with associated declines in fare revenues) and cost increases forced the working group to begin thinking about scenarios that could include fare increases
As reported to the Transportation Committee as part of the FY 2018 TDA Productivity Improvement Program on May 19 2017 NCTD was below the state- and SANDAG-mandated farebox recovery threshold for its LIFT and fixed-route services and was considering proposed fare increases to become compliant In May 2017 the NCTD Board of Directors reviewed the proposals and approved a recommendation to submit the proposals to SANDAG for consideration as part of the regional fare study with the desire to have these changes enacted by July 1 2018
Similarly MTS staff presented fare change alternatives to their Budget Development Committee on February 22 2018 to their Board of Directors on March 8 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 1) NCTD staff presented fare change alternatives to their Board of Directors on March 15 2018 and then again on September 20 2018 (Attachment 2) The fare change proposals range from the removal of some seldom-used multi-day passes introduction of a SeniorDisabledMedicare Regional Day Pass increased discounts to youth monthly passes and increases to one-way fares and monthly pass prices Key discussion topics included the pricing for regional fares and potential changes to the TransNet ordinance that would increase the age limit from 60 to 65 for the senior discount and providing an increased discount for youth fares
Next Steps
With feedback from the respective Boards of MTS and NCTD as well as feedback from the Community-Based Organizations Working Group the fares working group will refine the draft alternative fare options and present them to the public to gather feedback These draft alternatives will be incorporated into the Regional Transit Fare Study and presented to the Transportation Committee later this month
