I. Call to OrderThe regular meeting of the Metropolitan Transit Commission was called to order at 5:00 p.m. byMTC’s Chairman, Commissioner Scarborough.

II. Review of Meeting SummaryThe meeting summary of October 24, 2018 was approved as written.

III. Transit Services Advisory Committee (TSAC) Chair’s ReportChris Maloy - Chairman reported that the Transportation Services Advisory Committee met on

Thursday, November 8th and had 1 action item and 2 information items.

1) The action item that we received, was to review and approve the February service changeand TSAC did approve that motion with Ms. Pamela White presenting.

2) The first information item we received an update Mr. John Lewis on the transit outage aswell as some other activities that are going on within the CATS system and laid out some ofthe goals.

3) The second information item we received an update from Olaf Kinard on technologyincluding the CATS apps. The real-time app as well as Uber and the Lyft application.

Also, Mr. Maloy shared that this would be his last meeting as TSAC chair. In December, TSAC will be electing a new chair for the following year. He has been honored to provide MTC updates and serve as chair. The MTC Thanked Mr. Malory for his service as the chairman.

IV. Citizens Transit Advisory Group (CTAG) Chair’s ReportCo-Chairman Edward Tillman gave the CTAG’s Report. CTAG received several updates at the

November 20nd, meeting. 1) First update was the state and federal legislative agendas.2) Second update was the Envision My Ride initiative, and the long-term goal of this initiative is

to get the average ride time down to 30 minutes to any of our designated job centers. Rightnow, that time is currently anywhere from 60 minutes to 90 minutes in some cases, butthey're moving toward getting that much tighter. There has been a success with some of

3


that. There was also a discussion about using the last mile project and trying to coordinate that with the Envision My Ride, but there hasn't been, I would say, a significant usage of the last mile project in which we utilized Lyft and other services to get people to that spot. So that might not be something that moves forward.

3) Third update was on Hurricane Michael and Florence and the delays regarding that; eight-day delay overall. Bus services never stopped. One of the items that came out of that was arealization that better communication to our clients is a very necessary aspect, and sothere's now been a usage of SPOKEN-Hub, which is another social media application thatwill allow more direct communication to clients of our system and specifically giving theminformation about CATS, not having to go through filters of Facebook which gets a little lostin the messaging.

4) Last update was on the Ride CATS app. A company is in place to do the updates, but there'sbeen a bit of a slow-down because of the hacking issues from earlier this year. It's beenfunded and decisions are ready to move forward, but just having some difficulty with thesecurity issues.

V. Public Comments. Ms. Meg Fencil - Program Director at Sustain Charlotte shared a statement ofsupport where Sustain Charlotte gathered over 2,400 signatures from area residents. About 900of these are online and the rest collected at various events, neighborhood association meetings,and outreach events. This is a broad statement of support addressed really to Charlotte CityCouncil and Mecklenburg County Commissioners. I wanted to share it with you all tonightbecause the MTC plays such a pivotal role in supporting transit.

And I specifically wanted to draw your attention to the public support for the Envision My Rideinitiative and completion of the projects in the 2030 transit plan. I encourage you let us know ifthere's anything else that Sustain Charlotte can do to help to support transit.

Mayor Bailey ask if it would be worthwhile to talk with the six small towns to have them jointhe support of Sustain Charlotte. It would and Sustain Charlotte will reach out to them.

VI. Action Items.a. 2019-2020 State & Federal Legislative Agendas Dana Fenton

Resolution: Mayor Paul Bailey (Matthews) motioned to approve the 2019-2020 State &Federal Legislative Agendas; William Coxe (Huntersville) seconded the motion, which passedunanimously.

b. 1) Travel Markets Policy Larry Kopf Larry Kopf, Chief Operations Planning Officer presented two policies up for review. These are MTC policies that help to direct staff. First one is the travel markets policy which determines which markets CATS will compete for business in. These are policies that are established by MTC and they provide guidance to staff in terms of how we develop our service, and the other policies and the transit service guidelines policy which gets into issue such as load standard, stop spacing, and where amenities are placed, and just a summary of the changes. This is an action item. We're looking for, either feedback or approval of these items. Discussion: WILLIAM COXE (Huntersville): Madam Chair, first, let me apologize to the group for not being able to attend the last several meetings. Personal matters kept me away. Larry Kopf and have I been collaborating on it a little bit today. Here is the issue that I want to raise. The changes on the surface of the documents, the change to 2025 transit land use

4


plan to the 2030 transit corridor services plan seem to be reasonable because that's sort of the update of the 2025 plan. The issue is that the 2030 transit corridor services plan does not say that as a goal for what we all do together in this arena doesn't say that as a goal of that we're trying to achieve a land use vision for the region. What it says in the 2030 plan is these are what we want to do in each corridor. It doesn't say why. The 2025 plan approved in 1998 does, in fact, say that this is our regional vision for growth, the five regular transit corridors, the rapid transit corridors, in particular, are what will help us achieve that. And I think that is an important aspect of what we do collectively in that we're trying to achieve something with this investment, not only with this, but our roads and parks and schools and so forth. I have suggested or I would like to suggest a couple of modifications to the policies that you have in front of you to try to bring back in that focus on land goals, land development goals as part of these documents so that as future groups have to deal with -- I hope we don't have to deal with production of service again, we may, I don't know. But as we deal with decisions on the services that are provided by CATS, we have that land use element as one of the foundational goals. So, with that prelude, Larry simply went back in and suggested, and I absolutely concur, that in the travel markets policy where we had stricken the reference to the 2025 integrated -- 2025 transit land use plan that we simply reinsert 2025 transit land use plan as amended and updated by the 2030 transit corridor system plan. So simply that change of events. Then when we get down into primary markets, there may be a better way, a more succinct way of phrasing this, but the suggested language that I'm going to suggest, these markets must be well-served to achieve the goals of the centers, corridors, and wedges growth framework as adopted by the city of Charlotte because that document is now a city of Charlotte document. And the goals of the individual town growth plans. These markets must also be well-served to achieve the goals of the 2025 land use plan as amended and updated by 2030. So simply again to bring back in the land use elements to that. MAYOR LYLES (City of Charlotte): I'm not sure that I understood under the primary markets of CATS solicited priority order. I don't have the wording and I'm trying to figure out what you said. It sounded fair, but would it be appropriate to kind of say the primary markets for CATS listed in priority are below or are -- is it somewhere to -- is it number 7 or is it a statement after number 6? MR. COXE: The document as it exists today starts off under primary markets saying these markets must be well-served to achieve these goals. And all I did was simply take those documents wherein those goals are supposed to be embedded and change the wording to call out on the documents. MAYOR LYLES: So in these it will say these markets must be well-served to achieve the goals of the adopted. MR. COXE: Of the centers, corridors, and wedges growth forecast as adopted by the City of Charlotte and the goals of the individual town growth plans, which brings the towns back into the picture. These markets must also be well-served to achieve the goals of the 2025 transit land use plan as amended and updated by the 2030 transit corridor services plan. MAYOR LYLES: I think the sense of what you're saying is incorporated and so it's not the subject. I'm just trying to figure out where it is and I guess the thing that I would say is everyone is in agreement on the staff that this is appropriate? JOHN MUTH (CATS): Yes, at staff level, Bill and Larry talked to them today. We also talked to them. We're comfortable with Bill's recommendations.

5


MR. KOPF: The issue is that the centers, corridors, and wedges plan is a document that was adopted by the City of Charlotte but not adopted by the towns. We wanted to incorporate the towns also by talking about, you know, making a reference to the town growth plans. And that it was to pull the towns into as well. It's just a reference. It doesn't change the point of this policy. It's just a reference that's in the policy.

Resolution: Mayor Vi Lyles (City of Charlotte) motioned to approve the Travel Markets, as updated by the previous discussion; William Coxe (Huntersville) seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

b. 2) Transit Services Guidelines Policy Larry Kopf Larry Kopf, Chief Operations Planning Officer presented second policy up for approval – The Transit Service Guideline Policy. Discussion: WILLIAM COXE (Huntersville): Under the transit services guidelines there is, again, a call out to the transit market guidelines. And the proposed language under 2.1 simply changes where Larry had originally proposed the 2030 transit corridor system to say the 2025 transit land use plan as amended and updated by the 2030. BILL THUNBERG (Mooresville Representative): There's some changes in here particularly that articulate like the amenities, etc. I'm just pointing this out as a matter of procedure. If since these changes have occurred and there frequently are questions about what CATS policy is with regards to providing amenities, I would encourage you that the staff send this out to a local jurisdiction and highlight those areas so that if they need to amend their land use plans or ordinances or whatever to reference this document or any portion of the document, that they're aware that that -- those changes have been made.

Resolution: Mayor Vi Lyles (City of Charlotte) motioned to approve the Transit Services Guideline Policy, as updated by the previous discussion; William Coxe (Huntersville) seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

c. North Mecklenburg Express Services Larry Kopf Larry Kopf, Chief Operations Planning Officer seeking approval of the propose changes to the North Mecklenburg Express Service. Whenever making a change that affects over 25% of a bus route, it does take MTC approval to make that change. We are planning to update the bus routes to take advantage of the express lanes that will be completed next year on I-77. Public input has been included in creating the changes. Also, worked with the towns tocome up with these changes. The first is to change 53X North Meck Express to takeadvantage of the direct connect on Lakeview and to express lanes into uptown.

In the morning the bus would get off at Hamright and then go up through the office park to the park and ride lot at Huntersville Gateway and then pick up people in Huntersville and come straight back on the highway. It would be the reverse in the afternoon.

Now, we will implement this incrementally as this project proceeds and as things open, trying to have a moving target in terms of when things are going to be open. We will implement this. This is the ultimate plan when everything is opened.

The next is to change the service that comes from Davidson and have that service go to the Cornelius park and ride lots and will provide a quicker trip for people in Davidson and from the Cornelius park and ride lot. Then offer direct service that covers Northcross park and ride lot with reverse service on Statesville.

6


We will change the uptown route to take advantage of the direct connect on the Brookshire Freeway, which will be a direct connect from the express lanes into the Brookshire Freeway and then we'll use Church and College to operate in uptown.

We hope to get this started in the first quarter of next year. We're working with the construction companies on when things are going to open. And it's up for your approval tonight.

Comments: WILLIAM COXE (Huntersville): This is actually very exciting, Madam Chair, we are going to now have this corridor truly begin to fulfill the vision that was created quite some time ago. It's good. CHRIS MALOY (Chairman – TSAC): As a daily rider of this service, I am excited as well. I echo those comments.

The second thing I have, as we are moving, and this is more of a procedural thing as well. As we implement this, as we talked about, communication is critical if we're going to be hitting a moving targeted and we're not doing this with regular service change on a specific date, e-mail alerts, the on the bus fliers, something on every seat. That information is critical especially for those riders to make sure they're getting the right bus at the right time.

Resolution: Mayor Vi Lyles (City of Charlotte) motioned to approve the changes to the North Mecklenburg Express Services; Mayor Paul Bailey (Matthews) seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

d. Cancellation of December 2018 MTC Meeting John Muth Resolution: Mayor Vi Lyles (City of Charlotte) motioned to cancel the December 2018 MTC Meeting; Mayor Paul Bailey (Matthews) seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

VII. Information Itemsa. Regional Transit Plan Update Michelle Nance

Michelle NANCE of CCOG presented the following update on the Regional Transit Plan. I justwanted to provide a quick update on what we've been up to with this process since thetransit summer especially. And just as a reminder, the regional transit initiative is acooperative effort between the MTC and centralized -- it's a continuation to connect ourfuture dialogue about transit. And over the past year these are the kind of the key thingsthat have really emerged from our engagement. And it's about, you know, the population isgrowing. We need to have additional options for transportation, especially transit. Weknow that economic opportunity is a major issue, and in order to be competitive bothregionally, nationally, and globally, transit is an increasingly important piece of that puzzle.There were many things that the engagement suggested that we start working on. Butperhaps the most exciting thing is an update on the regional transit plan.

And just a reminder, the regional transit plan is really looking at how CATS servicesand other transit service providers within the region can better coordinate, especially acrosscounty lines. We're looking at long-term initiatives such as you heard loud and clear fromsome of the counties that they want an extension of the light rail. But we know that that'sabout preserving right-of-way. We know it's about land uses well ahead of getting the --getting any type of transit there. We're going to submit that we have to be right. Folks haveto be preparing for it ahead of time.

7


But the transit plan is also about very near term initiatives and we heard loud and clear from the human services side of transit that there needs to be a better coordinated system for getting people across county lines. A lot of times folks are trying to get into Mecklenburg County for medical services. They're trying to get here for educational opportunities. And the need for that human services transit and kind of day to day is there.

We also want to make sure that we integrate with local transit plans. We know in order to get down on the ground and effect those land uses, whatever comes out of the transit plan really needs to go into local plans, MPO, transportation long range plans, and into land use plans at the local level.

So many of you were at the transit summit in May. And the purpose of that was really to reiterate all that we had learned up to that date. And we had elected officials from across the region that talked about why regional transit was important to them. We had folks from the business community that were there, over 80 agencies, 12 counties, 2 states were represented. At the end of the day a call to action for doing the regional transit plan.

Since that time, we formed a trans advisory committee. It's kind of a small group, but it represents the region, mostly technical folks, to really help us guide the -- putting together a scope for the regional transit plan. And you can see they're from across the region, transit providers from Gastonia Rider Transit and Kannapolis in Cabarrus County and others.

In addition to that advisory committee, we've had a lot more engagement. The star is basically where we are today. Lots of engagement occurred early in 2017 where we were just asking what are the opportunities and what are your needs. That rolled into the transit summit. In October we were out to each county and at those meetings there were managers from cities and counties and elected officials from local governments. We also had staffers from federal government and staffers from state and Congressional delegates as well. And, really, the focus there was what do we need in this transit plan scope to meet the needs of our county. What do we need to have in there to make sure their needs are addressed?

In November we went out and we had 15 forums. And those were state corridor committees. There were groups that represented the economy, that represented opportunity, and then other groups that represented community development. Just to give you a sampling of was at those meetings, it was hospitals, it was major employers, it was bike and pedestrian advocates. It was work force development people, people that work at community colleges.

So, really, this was an opportunity for us to have some smaller meetings, but to really get down a little bit deeper into what were the transit needs for those particular stakeholders. At those meetings we heard a lot about messaging. What transit messaging would work, and heard a lot of really great stories that we would be able to roll into the transit planning effort.

January 2019 we're going to be out to the rural counties. This was specifically requested by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. They wanted to make sure that the rural counties in the region were involved and at least understood what was going on to see how they could be part of the process. And the idea is that in 2019 we would go forward with a request for proposals with a scope out for consultant review and then start the plan in 2019 into 2020. This is just a representation of what those meetings liked like that I was just talking about, the October meetings, November meetings, and those that will happen early 2019.

What's next? rural scope development meetings. We'll have a draft of that actually in December. We will be vetting with CATS staff, going out for the RFP. And there is a

8


whole kind of another layer of activities that's going on there, and that's really searching for funding for the regional transit plan. And we're getting federal agencies, state agencies, and locals for that. It's really looking at all three of those.

You may ask why do all this engagement before the plan. The answer -- we have found out so much that we've kind of dug through the weeds. We're going to be handing a consultant a lot of great information. We feel like they can come out, pretty quickly, and tell us where some potential light rail corridors could be. They could talk to us about the coordination. We would hear a lot of express bus services, the need for van pools. Every county we've been in, they've raised their hands, they've been very excited about that opportunity. We think that that's going to save time and money frankly, but from the consultant side to be able to have that information ready.

VIII. Chief Executive Officer’s Report John Muth Under the CEO’s report, Mr. Muth discussed the following:

a. Sales Tax Report:

CATS’ Deputy Director Muth: The August 2018 receipts were about 14 percent above the August receipts from last year and that the receipts in August were also about 24 percent above our budgetary for the month. We're projecting these will hopefully come in at 7-1/2 percent above what we budgeted for this year, around 105 million. For now, the sales tax are still continuing to grow at a good rate.

b. Ridership ReportCATS’ Deputy Director John Muth, reported the following: LYNX Blue Line -- the

average daily weekday ridership was 19,900. Remember that we had 11 days of service outage on the Blue Line for the month of October. That's why the numbers of 19,964. In July the Blue Line averaged 24,700; August, it was a little over 27,000; in September 26,200. We would expect November and December to rebound back to those type of numbers above 19,964. If you looked at that number later and had any questions about it, that's what we attribute that to.

IX. Other Business.a. Charlotte Gateway Station Dirt Contamination:Mayor Paul Bailey (Matthews) asked about the material dirt over at the new station, therewas some contamination in that dirt?JOHN MUTH (CATS): That's the Charlotte Gateway Station project. That site, we're workingclosely with the state, and the state has issued contracts for construction. Construction isunderway. Over the course of time we've known that there is contamination over in thatarea and there have been phase one and phase two assessments and there have been Ithink some wells that hadn't been drilled over there to monitor.

The standard course of doing the project, there was a report put together by Hart Hickman for the state as part of the project. They're over there monitoring all the excavation that occurs. We knew about it, we're treating the material appropriately, and removing it from the site as we excavate.

b. Thank You Outgoing Chairman:

MAYOR Vi LYLES (City of Charlotte) shared to this with MTC. I know that this is your last meeting as chair since the December meeting is canceled. I am not looking forward to taking on this role, but I am looking tonight to say thank you for the work that you've done this past year and all that you've put into it. We all know what it takes – everyone in this room knows what it takes to chair anything. And so I want to say thank you and our greatest appreciation to you, Ms. Scarborough. Chairman Ella SCARBOROUGH (Board of Commissions): Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

X. AdjournThe meeting was adjourned at 5:43 p.m. by Commissioner Scarborough.

January 23, 2019

To: The Chair and Members of the Metropolitan Transit Commission

Charlotte, North Carolina

I am pleased to present to you the recommended FY2020 Preliminary Operating Budget, which

includes the Operating and Debt Service Budgets, Financial and Business Performance Targets, and the

FY2020-FY2024 Community Investment Plan (CIP) for the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS). The

balanced budget maintains and enhances current services and commitments, with a focus on providing

flexible mobility options.

FY2020 Priorities:

The FY2020 budgets reflect priorities in the Metropolitan Transit Commission’s approved Mission and

Strategic Goals for CATS.

• Outstanding community-wide public transportation services

• Focused regional growth

• Safety and accountability

• Safe, affordable mobility options to jobs, education and housing

• Contribution to economic development in the County and region

• Investment in employees

FY2020 Budget Highlights:

• The Blue Line Extension (BLE) - after a full-year of revenue service of the 9.3 miles from Center

City Charlotte through the North Davidson historic arts district and University City area to a

terminus on the campus of the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (UNCC), requires additional

operating assistance to properly maintain the system. The system includes 11 new light rail

stations, with approximately 3,100 parking spaces at four stations with parking facilities. The

FY2020 Preliminary Operating Budget includes approximately $1.3 million to cover additional

expenses for staffing and technology equipment contract maintenance fees related to the BLE.

• North Corridor Direct Connect Studies is an Advanced Transit System Plan pertaining to the

North Corridor. This is the next step from the system plan update that defined rail fixed

guideway alignments to serve the airport and the north corridor areas to determine the

appropriate transit mode for each of these corridors.

• Mobile Payment Application full implementation now gives transit riders an electronic payment

option to purchase transit fare on their phones, and maintain cash balances on individual

customer accounts for future use.

• State of Good Repair priorities including replacement of fixed-route buses, Special

Transportation Services (STS) buses and Vanpool vehicles; repairs and renovations to transit

operate seven days a week from 5:26 am – 1:26 am daily, arriving at stations every 7.5 minutes

during rush hour and every 15 minutes at other times during the week. Weekend service operates

every 20 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes during late night hours.

CATS has effectively controlled operating costs in FY2019 and continues to maintain expense controls

through FY2020. Fuel costs remain low due to the hedging program, providing locked pricing and

budget stability. Sales tax growth and increased interest earnings are expected to continue into

FY2020.

A. Operating Revenues: $162.4 million

In FY2020, operating revenues are projected at $162.4 million, an increase of $7.8 compared to the

FY2019 Adopted Budget, which represents an increase of 5.0%. The increase is primarily due to an

increase in the operating allocation that reflects an updated sales tax trendline, and an accounting re-

classification of grant-funded operating activities. Prior to FY2019, grant-funded operating revenues

were accounted for in the capital budget. For FY2020, these grant-funded operating revenues

continue to be accounted for in the operating budget, causing an increase in the operating revenues.

Operating revenues consists of system-generated revenue such as passenger fares, advertising and

leases, and also includes the State Maintenance Assistance Program (SMAP) and Maintenance of Effort

funding from the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County and the Town of Huntersville. The majority of

operating revenues come from sales tax revenue, which is projected to continue growing steadily.

operating programs.

Key changes in revenue in the FY2020 Preliminary Operating Budget versus the FY2019 Adopted

Operating Budget are as follows:

Adopted Budget

(millions)

Preliminary

Operating Budget

(millions)(millions ) (%)

Operating Allocation 69.3$ 75.5$ 6.3$ 9.1%

Operating Allocation increase reflects an

updated sales tax trendline provided by the City

Treasurer’s Office

Fare Revenues and Service Reimbursements 33.1$ 29.9$ (3.2)$ -9.6%

The decrease is primarily due to updated fare

revenue projections for BLE light rail opening

year services, elimination or reduction of some

services to include the UNCC Shuttle and the

Airport Connector bus services.

Maintenance of Effort 22.0$ 22.6$ 0.7$ 3.0%

Maintenance of Effort are funds received from

the City of Charlotte, which are paid to CATS in

compliance with state law. The City of Charlotte

increases its annual contribution by 3%.

Operating Assistance 6.1$ 7.5$ 1.4$ 23.7%

Operating Assistance includes funds from the

City of Charlotte for Goldline Phase 1, and $6.03

million from the federal government for

implementation of the BLE light rail service. For

FY2020 there is no longer a reimbursement from

NCDOT and the private sector for construction

B. Operating Expenditures: $162.4 million

In FY2020, operating expenses are projected at $162.4 million, an increase of $7.8 million compared

to the FY2019 Adopted Budget, or 5.0% increase. Part of this increase is due to additional BLE-

related expenses for staffing and technology equipment contract maintenance fees for equipment no

longer under warranty. It is also due to an accounting re-classification of grant-funded operating

activities such as corridor studies. Previously, grant-funded operating expenditures were accounted for

in the capital budget but starting in FY2019 these grant-funded operating expenditures are

accounted for in the operating budget, causing an increase in the operating expenditures.

C. Operating Balance: $0.0 million

The Operating Balance is transferred to the capital program and provides a portion of the ‘matching

fund’ dollars required by Federal and/or State grants as well as being programmed to fund capital

projects that do not receive grant funds. As the CATS control account continues to grow it provides an

opportunity to reduce the amount of operating funds used for capital. In FY2019 the department only

transferred $0.2 million from operating while using the control account to fund the remaining portion.

In FY2020 the department will utilize the CATS control account to fund all capital programs eliminating

any transfers from Operating to Capital.

No new debt financing is planned for FY2020. Key sources of revenue for payment of the current

debt expenses are the transit sales tax (local), Federal and State grants.

Debt financing proceeds are utilized to fund CATS capital investment projects.

B. Debt Service Expenditures: $115.3 million

Debt service expenditures include principal and interest costs on project financings, together with fees

and miscellaneous costs associated with capital financings.

In FY2020, debt service expenditures are as follows:

Reference: Appendix 5

III. REVENUE RESERVE FUND

In 2016, the MTC approved revision of CATS Financial Policies which created a CATS Control Account.

This account would receive sales tax revenue in excess of the sales tax trend line only when the

balance in the Revenue Reserve Fund has reached the maximum required balance of $30 million.

The Revenue Reserve Fund (RRF) reached the required balance of $30 million in FY2017. Therefore,

the projected FY2020 $11 million of sales tax dollars that would have been deposited into this fund

will transfer directly to the CATS Control Account. In accordance with Section 3.3 of MTC Financial

Policies MTC-01, the Transit CEO may recommend use of such funds, for operating or capital programs,

to the Metropolitan Transit Commission as a part of the CEO Recommended Budget in January of each

year.

CAPITAL PROGRAMS MANAGED BY CATS

CATS manages two transit capital investment programs which receive funds from the Federal and State

governments and the City of Charlotte. Reference: Appendix 8

The Charlotte Gateway Station – Rail Project (Phase I)

The Charlotte Gateway Station (CGS) Project is a planned multi-modal transit center located in Center

City Charlotte.

The City of Charlotte and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) are partners in

the phased implementation of this project which:

• Improves both regional (Amtrak) passenger rail service and regional freight rail operations through

the construction of track and bridge improvements

• Includes a future multi-modal passenger station facility, the completion of which will mark the return

of Amtrak service to Uptown Charlotte, with supporting modal connections to CityLYNX GoldLine,

regional bus connections and CATS local bus routes.

Design and engineering of the first phase of the Project is underway with construction of the initial

track and bridge improvements began in 2018. Phase 1 is being funded with federal, state and City

of Charlotte (local) funds.

The CityLYNX GoldLine Streetcar Project – Phase II

The CityLYNX GoldLine Streetcar project - Phase II is an extension of the approximately 1.5 mile

CityLYNX GoldLine Phase 1 project completed in July 2015. Phase II consists of the design and

construction of approximately 2.5 miles of double-track in-street running streetcar line. This will result

in approximately a total of a 4-mile long double-track streetcar system which will extend from

Johnson C. Smith University through Center City Charlotte, to Novant Health and Sunnyside Avenue.

The project is being funded by a Federal Small Starts Grant for $74,999,999 and with a local match

of $75 million funded by the City of Charlotte. Construction began in early 2017 and is scheduled to

be completed by August 2020.

Section V. Performance Objectives | 15

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

CATS Financial Policies provide guidelines on how financial resources shall be utilized to fulfill the

mission of the transit system, meet obligations and to protect the public interest.

BALANCED SCORECARD OBJECTIVES

CATS Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is developed on high level outcomes that determine the efficiency and

effectiveness of the transit system. These outcomes establish high level expectations for CATS and are

comparable to national standards for a medium to large transit agency. Outcomes are based on

performance metrics established for CATS operations and services. The BSC performance objectives

are referenced in Appendix 2

Section VI. Services & Ridership | 16

CATS SERVICES AND RIDERSHIP

CATS will provide approximately 23.5 million rides in FY2020 on its bus, light rail, streetcar, vanpool

and Special Transportation services.

The Blue Line Extension finished it’s first full-year of revenue service in FY2019, providing service to

eleven new station locations from 9th Street in Uptown Charlotte to the UNC-Charlotte campus.

Ridership was lower than projected but is expected to increase in FY2020 as construction projects at

the Sugar Creek, 36th Street and UCB stations is completed. The light rail system captures a number of

riders who previously used the bus system, although not as many as included in initial projections.

Customers wholly new to transit are also expected to contribute to an increase in light rail ridership as

ridership matures over the first few years of operations.

The FY2020 budget proposes a net increase of approximately 6,383 in bus service hours. The Special

Transportation Service ridership is expected to continue to increase in FY2020. CATS is planning to

upgrade the existing paratransit scheduling system to help manage the increased ridership.
