Business Model

• Metro contributes: – up to 50% of capital cost – up to 35% of operating

cost • Localities contribute

remainder • Metro owns and manages

equipment • Manages master contract

with single operations vendor

Integration with Transit

“Bikeshare can be a key element of the first-last mile and balanced transportation solution, expanding the reach of transit and providing our transit users with another mobility option.”

– Phillip A. Washington, Metro CEO

Integration with Transit: Siting

• First/last mile option • Expand transit access

shed

• Reduced barrier to entry • Strengthen link with bus and rail transit • Provide valuable data

Integration with Transit: Fare Media

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Data for understanding connection between bikeshare and transit – build support for funding

30-Day Pass:

$XX

Unlimited FREE trips up to

30 minutes each

$X.xx per extra half hour

+

• “Pass” mimics transit; more inclusive than “membership”

• Low entry price point • Monthly payment same as

transit passes • Unlimited travel mimics TAP

Pass • Additional fare = one-way

transit trip; similar to zone fares

Integration with Transit: Fare Structure

Hypothetical example, actual fare structure under review

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Low cost compared to: $100 30-day TAP pass or $20 SM bikeshare membership

• Metro already has subsidy programs for bus and rail – Reduced Fares – Rider Relief:

Income-based subsidy coupons up to $10/mo.

• Exploring options for Rider Relief program • Exploring grant funding to facilitate reduced

fares

Integration with Transit: Subsidy Programs

Integration with Transit: Branding

• Geographic/siting • Fare Structure • Subsidy Programs • Transit integration

It will happen this time.
