Our Chambers take a strong interest in the matter of inter-municipal transit. Moving forward with options for an integrated system presently is vital. Broadly, our Chambers believe an inter-municipal transit system has significant benefits for Niagara's regional economy in terms of the ability to better interconnect the twelve local area municipalities, and in particular to connect Niagara workers with jobs across the region and GTHA, access to post-secondary education and healthcare. Our chambers are supportive of an integrated transit system and are pleased to see work continuing towards the objective of an integrated, regional system capable of serving as an important tool for Niagara's growth and development. With GO Transit rail service coming to Niagara in 2021 (Grimsby) and 2023 (St. Catharines and Niagara Falls), an integrated transit system can be an important element in moving people to the Go Train for employment opportunities outside Niagara, while also providing transportation for employment opportunities throughout Niagara.An integrated transit system should provide Niagara with a strong tool with which to connect residents to jobs, education and health care, particularly for lower-income Niagarans and residents who do not own a personal vehicle, or have only one vehicle for a two-parent family. The implementation of an integrated transit system can also make Niagara's regional economy more attractive to job seekers interested in moving here. Attracting highly-skilled millennials, a group for whom transit may often be more attractive than a personal vehicle, would be greatly facilitated by the provision of integrated transit access connecting individuals to their workplace. Millennials from urban areas where transit is an expected service often don't have vehicles. As well, student debt from post-secondary education makes vehicle-ownership considerably less affordable to this important demographic. In the interest of system affordability, we recommend that any integrated transit system first be developed with defined travel times and schedules focused on increasing access to workplaces, post-secondary education and health care. Our members have conveyed to us the importance of public transit in accessing all of these important functions. An integrated, inter-municipal system must guarantee that residents from all income brackets interested in utilizing the system are able to access their jobs, their healthcare and post-secondary education and training in a timely, convenient 1 fashion. It must also ensure that lower-income Niagarans can utilize the system to connect themselves to these key sectors, enabling social and economic mobility.Without such consideration for easy, convenient access, an integrated system provides less incentive for potential riders, and thus becomes less likely to succeed. Our Chambers strongly believe that in moving towards this integrated system, the existing assets of the local transit commissions should be considered. The process of developing the system should include an inventory of the systems' existing assets, be they buildings, buses and human resources. Through an inventory process, resources can be coordinated in a manner which reduces redundancies. This streamlining process should free up funds, which can then be diverted to the important element of increasing transit accessibility. The efforts of the transit commissions of St. Catharines, Welland and Niagara Falls to date, towards progress on an inter-municipal, integrated delivery model should be commended. The Chambers hope to see the three commissions also integrate the fourth transit commission in Niagara, namely Niagara Parks "WEGO," as well as Niagara Region and other transit services. Incorporating WEGO particularly into the integrated model has the potential to significantly augment ridership models for an integrated system while also connecting the inter-municipal systems to some of Niagara's most trafficked regions. Taking into account the key elements mentioned above, the Chambers believe strongly in the benefits an integrated transit system would bring to a modern economy and society. The debate over transit has been too long and our members will continue to remain engaged in the discussion as the process of developing an integrated system proceeds. We look forward to taking part in the discussion.

Box 26, Queen St., Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6S8 Phone: 905-651-0944 Fax: 289-296-7145 Margaret Gilbert Chris Woolnough Linda Stevens President Business Agent Vice President Financial/Recording Secretary Treasurer atulocal1582@gmail.com nitazchic@gmail.com ewokls@me.com Sunday February 26th,2017 Mr.Jim Diodati & Members of Council City of Niagara Falls Re: Regionalisation Study Hi All: I will not be available to attend the meeting to make a deputation due to scheduling(I will be at work until 7p). I will not make this a long statement and I would also like to point out that the union does support regional service,we have found that many people are using the service as it exists and improvements ie. Extended hours and Sunday/Holiday service are very much needed, especially for those who wish to come to Niagara Falls for work,appointments etc. There are many unanswered questions regarding the choices being put forward by Dillon, and we are requesting that these questions be answered in advance of any decision that may create unnecessary expense to our local residents/taxpayers, as it has not been shown in detail how creating the consolidated method that is being proposed is going to give the desired results any better or less costly than either the status quo or the Region models. For example - The statement"duplication of service"is used to make it sound as if that is a bad thing,and if it wasn't necessary it might certainly be, but when you have a Regional bus travelling on a road that is currently serviced by a local city route,they actually help each other because the regional bus is on a schedule and if it had to make all the same stops as the local bus, it would be hard to maintain a schedule that helps it to keep the travel time from one city to another down. The local bus has a smaller area to cover and can do the job of stopping every block or two for passengers. That is why when the regional service was introduced, it made limited stops in each of the cities and the local bus would "feed"the regional bus the passengers. So it is important that these issues be looked at when eliminating duplication of service. Also,as with the college buses,we have too many passengers to eliminate any of the buses,it was tried this year(college had reduced the number of buses they wanted to pay for) and recently extras had to be added because we could not safely transport all the students on the few buses in service. So why do they have the expectation of a less costly system? Another point to consider is the"ridership" numbers as these are used to apply for"gas tax funding"from the government, if our ridership goes down so does the amount of funding provided to the municipality. - Another thing to consider is the fact that Niagara has spent a bit of money recently buying new fare boxes and gps equipment on our buses(stop announcement system) our buses in Niagara can record all revenue put in by the operator,such as an adult cash fare, a monthy pass,a transfer from a regional bus or a college bus, a college pass or a college cash fare etc.,we already have integrated fares with the system we currently use. - The union was allowed one meeting with Dennis,for just over an hour,we met with him alone and never with the entire working group during the whole process, even though we had submitted a request to do so, I even sent the request to Mr. Diodati and Council members. The union's should have been involved in the process because as front line workers we know the system and the ridership needs,we have asked for Sunday/holiday service and we have asked for later finish times during the week and we have asked for Terminal to Terminal service. The Union Affiliated with O.F.L-C.L.0-A.F.of L. has not been given the FULL report(200 pages, I am told)that you are seeing,we only have the condensed one that is available online. - The smaller communities need to be included in the service, instead of spending money"redesigning"a service that is working,the monies could be used to take our service to these smaller communities and giving those riders the opportunities of Regional service, as well as improving the service to better serve all riders and residents. - The union has not been shown how"consolidation"will save taxpayers any money, as a matter of fact our para- transit services/chair-a-van service costs a rider currently$2.75-3.00,the fee for Niagara Specialized Transit (N.S.T.)that is currently being run by the Region is$7.50;that is, if it is used within one city,the fare increases if you need to travel to another city. That is not how our system is now. The cost is$6.00 for an adult to go wherever they need in one direction. (A lot more affordable for the riders/residents),will the fares increase? And the fare structure seems a lot more confusing for riders,with extra fees being charged if they travel over a certain distance. - What result will come of the municipalities giving up their exclusive rights to operate municipal transit? Is this even and issue? Has it been discussed? These are just a few questions that should be answered,we recommend that the only thing that council needs to consider at this time is a vote for more information,and of course,we also ask to be included. It would certainly be premature to make these important decisions based on speculation or lack of information of true cost. If anyone would like to discuss this with me, I am available at your convenience.

We are seeing more and more Niagara College students rely on public transit and it is an important factor for students in selecting a post-secondary institution and where they live. The proposed framework that is coming to council is an important step to improve public transit for not only our students but also the residents of Niagara. A single point of contact for transit-related discussions and a single fare box are very important considerations for our student government as the model moves forward. Currently, our student government, the Niagara College Student Administrative Council, has 9 contracts with 6 different transit providers. We hope you will support the proposal.

As the Niagara College Student Administrative Council (NCSAC), we are not only the voice of more than 9,000 Niagara College students, but, through our universal bus pass (Upass)we also hold the responsibility for working with Niagara's transit providers to get our students to class, to their co-op placements, and places of employment. Many students rely on public transit as they pursue and achieve their educational goals, and for many prospective students, a reliable, efficient and convenient transit system is among the factors they consider when choosing a school and a community. In 2007, (NCSAC) executed a referendum on campus and with support of the majority of Niagara College students, passed the implementation of the mandatory Upass. Since that time, not much has changed in regards to the way students get to school. We currently sign nine contracts with six different transit providers in the Niagara region. As you can imagine, working with different providers to extend service to the same audience presents many challenges, from financial shortcomings, to service variances, fare box inconsistencies and transfer misalignments. The contracts that we currently sign mean that we are constantly negotiating with six different providers. These providers typically seek 5%-10% increases annually depending on whether we're under a contract or not, whereas, as per our referendum agreement, our maximum increase to students is 5%. For over four years now, NCSAC has operated the Upass service in the red with losses approaching $800,000 straight from the pockets of students. We've been taking these losses in anticipation of the Intermunicipal Transit Pilot being implemented into a full blown reality, but as you know that has not come to fruition. We cannot continue to absorb these losses and because our fee can't keep pace with increases from all our different providers, the future of our Upass service depends greatly on the implementation of an integrated transit system in Niagara. The service variances from the six different providers create inconstancy in the Upass. Because of the nature of our service being "custom built routes," we often have to change the frequency and routing of buses to fit within our annual budget. This means that there is no consistency for our students, and moreover, to the community members at large who use our custom transit services. With some providers, student swipe their Upass card, with other providers, they tap the card and in some cities, they simply show the card without tapping or swiping. This means that we are unable to get accurate data on who is actually taking transit in order to maximize service or complete any accurate analysis. This results in an abundance of inefficiencies and waste, which would be better suited in increasing routes and frequency through the Region of Niagara. The fare box struggle continues past ridership counts and also creates a variable costing in our budgeting when students have to "tap"their card in Niagara Falls. As students "tap"their cards, NCSAC is charged a variable cost per ride on top of our annual fees. This creates a line in our budget which is a hypothetical target, based on the fact that we don't know what the upcoming year's ridership is going to be. We also feel that the introduction of an amalgamated transit system in Niagara will help to ease the challenges caused by transfer misalignments. Currently, the 40/50/60/70 Regional routes provide service between cities. That's a great service to provide and connects cities, however, often times when the Regional buses pull into the transit hubs in Niagara Falls, Welland and St Catharines, there are wait times of up to 40 minutes to catch an inner city bus to take people to their final destination. This creates a system that is not only inefficient, but lacks the trust of students and therefore is not part of their elected commuter set. Students would be more likely to ride the Regional routes if there were a concerted effort to align schedules with local transit providers. In closing, there is a need for an amalgamated system of some kind in the Niagara region. Tonight, we are asking you to vote "yes"to continuing the conversation in regards to an amalgamated system.
