Transit Staff Report – April 2022

Ridership took a dip in April as compared to April 2021 and especially compared to pre COVID levels. As you can see from these charts, ridership was significantly rising on the Estacada and Shopper routes until COVID. Staff will attend a National Transit Conference in early May to better understand transit in a post COVID environment. Staff are focused on capital projects, returning ridership, new technological options and more.

Transit sent in an application and began working with PGE in the Fleet Partnership Program to begin the process of transitioning the bus barn infrastructure to support an electric fleet.

The RFP process begun in January to replace DoubleMap has come to a close. The selection committee has selected a vendor to which an Intent to Award will be issued. Transit will bring the Intent to Award and Contract language to City Council in June.
