TDTIMS is Changing
In the past we have focused most on
SAFETY & EFFICIENCY
![Page 3: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
TDTIMS is Changing
On the other end of the spectrum is
PERSONALIZED SERVICE
![Page 4: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Service indicators give a way to look at what kind of service you are providing and the ability to
compare your level of service with other sites statewide. This also
helps to see a balance of the Safety/Efficiency vs. Service
SERVICE INDICATORS
![Page 5: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TDTIMS
TDTIMS is the series of reports generated from your data, to be submitted along with a copy of your data by November 1 each year to be used in the funding process for your district
The data must be current and in order to be used in the funding process
The data is compared to the TD-2 riders submitted by your district in October
![Page 6: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
TDTIMS Reporting
Don’t use old instructions that may be in your office! The reports are changing this year!
Instructions will be available on the web when the new reports are ready and installed
http://www.ncbussafety.org/TIMSqrg.html Remember: a copy of your data is part of TDTIMS
submission (ELTzip)
![Page 7: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Check Your Data
You should WILL review your data the same way we will because YOU will be filing it in.
If we get data from you that doesn’t meet the minimum for the funding formula, we know that you know it doesn’t, and you won’t be surprised that you get a letter indicating that fact.
![Page 8: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What Happens to Your TDTIMS Data & Reports?
TIMS staff verify and summarize the data. If it meets state criteria (90% of student count
represented in TIMS as valid transported students) AND the data represents the current years operation – it is usable for the funding formula.
Data and reports submitted to funding formula No February submission required
![Page 9: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TDTIMS Potential Problems
Your data does not meet 90% of TD2/TD2R figures for the November reporting
TIMS Staff has an indication that the data does not represent current operation
So… February data submission is required
![Page 10: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Problem Areas - Total Students
The key figure will be in the report output from 1TDTIMS and located in your REP folder as QMF_ride.txt
This figure must be at least 90% of your TD2R student count total
TD2 count x .90 = minimum number you must have in order for your data to be used by funding formula
![Page 11: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Transported Students
To be considered VALID transported students for
TDTIMS they must meet the following criteria:
They must be ‘located’ ~ To ensure accurate locations,
as a part of the UPSTU process, ADSCAN should have
been run to locate the students
Review and fix as many problems as possible on your ADSCAN
error report (report is generated and located in the EMU error
files as ADSCAN.ERR)
![Page 12: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Transported Students
They must be assigned to an AM or PM stop ~
stops need to be on runs and the runs need to be
on a route
Failure for the stop to be fully assigned all the way
to the route level will cause the student to not be
considered ‘valid’
![Page 13: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Total Miles
In addition to student data, TDTIMS checks total bus miles
These figures can be extremely accurate if TIMS data matches your actual operation
Call your project leader if you feel you have a problem with the mileage data
![Page 14: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Total Number of Buses
Should include all Regular and Special Needs buses
NOT contracted buses, only yellow buses
Locally funded trips should NOT be included in this report.
![Page 15: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

In past years we have been more lenient on submissions, but with the added audit work that we will have to do, we cannot do this in the future. This year letters to the Superintendents may be sent as early as Nov. 6th, so be aware of this date!!!
What If…Your Data is NOT Ready by Nov 1st

PREPARING YOUR
TIMS DATA
![Page 22: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ok, How do I run TDTIMS?New stuff
You will need to do two things before starting the TDTIMS reporting: Internal data audit Preprocessing your data
![Page 23: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Internal Data Audit
Examine the data for completeness before generating the reports:
•Are your Bell Times Correct?•Are all riders located?•Are all riders on routes?•Do both AM and PM runs exist and placed on routes?•Do you have any runs with zero mileage due to incomplete run directions?•For routes serving multiple runs, is the slack time between runs valid?•Have you included special needs runs and routes?
![Page 24: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

CORE FTP
You must use the CORE FTP to transmit your data again this year. There will be a TDTIMS 2007 folder to put it in
![Page 43: Welcome to TDTIMS Bonnie. TDTIMS is Changing In the past we have focused most on SAFETY & EFFICIENCY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea05503460f94ba2ff1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Transferring the Data via CORE FTP
Once the reports and data files exist on your computer, open CORE FTP and connect to begin transfer of the data.
