COAST seeks input on future ofpublic transit system

The Cooperative Alliance for Seacoast Transportation(COAST) is excited to announce that over the next 22months it will be taking a comprehensive look at its entirepublic transit system to potentially discover newopportunities to better serve the region as it is today andinto the foreseeable future.

"There has been tremendous change across COAST'sservice area in the past 10-plus years," said Rad Nichols,COAST Executive Director. "COAST has also undergoneincredible change, effectively doubling in size since 2009.COAST is at a point in its life cycle when a

comprehensive, deep dive of how we provide services,and a discussion of whether those current services bestmeet the needs of the region, should be undertaken."

Key to the process, stakeholders (including riders, electedofficials, the business community and community serviceorganizations), are all being strongly encouraged to 'jointhe conversation' and take an active role in helping COASTdetermine how to best meet the changing needs of theircurrent and future customers.

COAST will be offering multiple opportunities for publicconversation and input through public forums, meetings,and hearings, as well as through in-person and onlinesurveys. The first round of public forums are beingscheduled through the month of October and will be heldacross COAST's service area.

The work of the Comprehensive Operations Analysis(COA) will be a repetitive process occurring over thecourse of the next 22 months, including extensive datacollection, soliciting of public input, analyzing data patterns,forming new concepts for improved service, analyzingthose concepts, and repeating this cycle until COASTidentifies an improved network. The organization intends tolaunch any revised or new services resulting from theCOA by July 2020.

A landing page for the project can be foundat www.coastbus.org/OurFuture. Visitors to the onlinelanding page will be able to read a project overview, reviewthe project timeline and public event calendar, keep up todate on project happenings and materials, as well as sign-up for notices and provide public comment and inputthrough available surveys and forms.

Nichols added, "Throughout this process, we arecommitted to achieving our organization's stated goals ofactively engaging our stakeholders in collaborative effortsto be responsive to the region's changing needs,promoting fiscal stewardship of public transportation, andconducting ourselves with fiscal integrity and transparencythat respects the taxpayers and municipalities that weserve."

The Cooperative Alliance for Seacoast Transportation(COAST) has provided public transit service to theSeacoast New Hampshire region since 1982. COAST is apublic, non-profit transit system that relies primarily onfederal and local government support to operate. COASTis governed by a board of directors representing thecommunities served, two regional planning commissions,and many local and state agencies.

National test of emergency alert

systems scheduled for Oct. 3The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), incoordination with the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of theEmergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless EmergencyAlerts (WEA) on Oct. 3, 2018. The WEA portion of the testcommences at 2:18 p.m., and the EAS portion follows at2:20 p.m. The test will assess the operational readiness ofthe infrastructure for distribution of a national message anddetermine whether improvements are needed.

The test was originally planned for Sept. 20, 2018 but waspostponed until Oct. 3 due to ongoing response efforts toHurricane Florence.

The WEA test message will be sent to cell phones that areconnected to wireless providers participating in WEA. Thisis the fourth EAS nationwide test and the first nationalWEA test. Previous EAS national tests were conducted inNovember 2011, September 2016, and September 2017in collaboration with the FCC, broadcasters, andemergency management officials in recognition of FEMA'sNational Preparedness Month.

The EAS is a national public warning system that providesthe President with the communications capability toaddress the nation during a national emergency. The testis made available to EAS participants (i.e., radio andtelevision broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio andtelevision providers, and wireline video providers) and isscheduled to last approximately one minute. The testmessage will be similar to regular monthly EAS testmessages with which the public is familiar. The EASmessage will include a reference to the WEA test:

"THIS IS A TEST of the National Emergency Alert System.This system was developed by broadcast and cableoperators in voluntary cooperation with the FederalEmergency Management Agency, the Federal

Communications Commission, and local authorities tokeep you informed in the event of an emergency. If this hadbeen an actual emergency an official message would havefollowed the tone alert you heard at the start of thismessage. A similar wireless emergency alert testmessage has been sent to all cell phones nationwide.Some cell phones will receive the message; others willnot. No action is required."

Cell towers will broadcast the WEA test for approximately30 minutes beginning at 2:18 p.m. During this time, WEAcompatible cell phones that are switched on, within rangeof an active cell tower, and whose wireless providerparticipates in WEA should be capable of receiving the testmessage. Some cell phones will not receive the testmessage, and cell phones should only receive themessage once. The WEA test message will have aheader that reads "Presidential Alert" and text that says:

"THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency AlertSystem. No action is needed."

The WEA system is used to warn the public aboutdangerous weather, missing children, and other criticalsituations through alerts on cell phones. The national testwill use the same special tone and vibration as with allWEA messages (i.e. Tornado Warning, AMBER Alert).Users cannot opt out of receiving the WEA test.
