Transit Narrative<\/strong><\/p>\n

April 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a slight decrease in ridership last month, SAM has resumed a healthy increase in ridership. SAM provided 11,316 rides in April 2018 compared to 10,488 rides in April 2017, an overall increase of 7.9%.<\/p>\n

The SAM-Gresham route experienced an 5.2% increase in ridership. The new SAM Shopper has experienced 118.2% increase from April 2017. This consistent increase in service proves its importance to meet the needs of Sandy residents.<\/p>\n

The Estacada route remained consistent with last year, increasing only by 1 rider. It went from 569 riders to 570 riders. The steady ridership reinforces the necessity of provided a commuter link between Sandy and Estacada.<\/p>\n

STAR experienced a 16.8% increase in ridership as compared to 2017 with 1,314 scheduled rides last month.<\/p>\n

The Elderly and Disabled program (out-of-town medical rides) decreased by 19.6% due to increased dialysis treatment available in Sandy.<\/p>\n

SAM staff chose a vendor for the ITS project.\u00a0 DoubleMap Inc., a company out of Indiana, will provide GPS equipment, tablets, interior LED stop signage, automated announcements and a pre and post trip electronic module.\u00a0 The equipment will be installed in June and live by June 30, 2018.<\/p>\n

SAM staff attended a regional tourism meeting focused on increasing tourism with carless travel options. Staff will continue to attend and participate in future meetings as transit is a vital link in the tourism industry. In addition to planning for future opportunity staff also participated in trainings to reinforce proper reporting of submissions to the State.<\/p>\n

SAM also partnered with the Sandy Library for El d\u00eda de los ni\u00f1os\/El d\u00eda de los libros (Day of the Child\/Day of the Book). The trolley provided a shuttle to and from Vista Loop and staff had a booth where they were able to share transportation options with library patrons. Continued collaboration in the future include a travel training with both the Library and the Senior Center.<\/p>\n
