Mr. Tsao seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.

2. Interlocal Agreement with North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for Reimbursement of Operation of High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes Outside of the DART Service Area

Mr. Todd Plesko, Vice President of Planning and Development, briefed the Committee (slides on file with the Office of Board Support) as follows:

• Today's Action • HOV Outside Service Area Operation • Previous NCTCOG Reimbursements • Reimbursement Included in Proposed ILA Agreement • Reimbursement for Balance ofFY12 • Action

Mr. Chrisman asked if an ILA was already in place for the HOV lanes outside of DART's service area that are currently being operated. Mr. Plesko replied that there is an ILA in place for operation through TxDOT but financing from the NCTCOG is needed for the funding. Mr. Chrisman then asked when the previous ILA for funding was done. Mr. Plesko responded that the previous agreement was for 2007,2008 and 2009.

0l.24.2012 Planning Committee Minutes.doc 1 2/8/2012; 8:00 AM.

Mr. Chrisman asked when the funds for the last two years would be transferred to DART once the ILA was signed. Mr. Plesko stated that the money is available now for transfer. Mr. Chrisman inquired as to when the 2012 ILA expires. Mr. Plesko responded that a new ILA was needed quickly because the funding allotted for 2012 will be depleted shortly. Mr. Chrisman expressed his concern over repayment for the services DART provides and asked if the new ILA will address timely payments. Mr. Plesko stated that DART has received a letter of promise to pay, but some flexibility is needed to get the funds from different sources. Mr. Chrisman made the point that promise of payment is fine but a definite date or time period for repayment would be beneficial. Mr. Plesko replied that it is reasonable to include in the ILA payment terms.

Ms. Wilkins stated that she agrees with Mr. Chrisman's concerns. She asked whose idea it was for DART to be paid in arrears. Mr. Plesko replied that initially DART asked to be paid in advance, but in practicality it hasn't been done. Ms. Wilkins asked if any penalty was charged for payment in arrears. Mr. Plesko replied no. Ms. Wilkins requested to know if the contract could be made for the remainder of 2012 with the payment language or if the numbers are set. Mr. Plesko responded that the money cannot be increased. Ms. Wilkins asked if carrying money on DART's books costs additional money and if it is then that amount should be recovered. She recommended that the item be approved with language included stating interest penalties for behind payments.

Mr. Tsao asked if the Texas Prompt Payment Act could be included in this ILA. He continued by asking if once the funding source is identified if this ILA will have to be negotiated every year. Mr. Plesko stated that staff is seeking a multi-year agreement. Mr. David Schulze, Senior Assistant General Counsel, addressed Mr. Tsao's second question by stating that the Texas Prompt Payment Act language could be included in the ILA, but previous attempts haven't worked because NCTCOG has been reluctant to commit without a funding source being identified.

Ms. Wilkins asked what conclusion was reached. Chair Carlson stated that staff is directed to change the model being currently used to avoid payments in arrears.

Mr. Danish reiterated that clauses allowing late payments should be eliminated from the ILA.

Mr. Chrisman asked how much time would be spent to keep the HOV lanes outside of the service area in operation without payment before DART decides to halt operations for non-payment. Mr. Gary Thomas, PresidentlExecutive Director replied that staff will bring to the N CTCOG the concerns of the Board and decisions will have to be made as to the next steps.

Mr. Tsao made a motion to forward the Agenda Item to the Committee-of-theWhole Initial Consideration Agenda with a recommendation that states that the PresidentlExecutive Director or his designee is authorized to execute an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the North Central Texas Council of Government (NCTCOG) for reimbursement of expenses incurred in the operation of HOV lanes outside the DART

service area in FY 2010, FY 2011 and part of FY 2012 in substantially the form attached to this resolution as Exhibit 1.

Ms. Wilkins seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.

3. Call for Public Hearing for a Service Plan Amendment to Modify the Alignment and Grade Separations on the DART Orange Line DFW Airport Light Rail Transit (LRT) Extension (lrving-3)

Mr. John Hoppie, Project Manager III, briefed the Committee (slides on file with the Office of Board Support) as follows:

• Proposal to Modify Alignment & Grade Separations • DFW Extension: Current Service Plan • DART 1-3 Route Comparison Overview • DFW Extension: Proposed SPA • Advantages to DART: • Requested Board Action:

Ms. Wilkins made a motion to forward the Agenda Item to the Committee-of-theWhole Final Consideration Agenda with a recommendation that states that the PresidentlExecutive Director or his designee is authorized to conduct a public hearing, at a date and time to be determined, to receive public comments on the proposal to modify the alignment and grade separations for the Orange Line DFW Airport Light Rail Transit (LRT) Extension (Irving-3).


4. Renaming Three Rail Stations

Mr. Cheney entered the meeting at 1: 15 p.m.

Mr. Michael Miles, Senior Manager of Government Relations, briefed the Committee (slides on file with the Office of Board Support) as follows:

• Station Renaming • Overview • Requests for Change • DART Staff Team • Current Board Policy (2) • Pearl/Arts District Station • Cityplace/Uptown Station • Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing • Board Timeline

Mr. Cheney questioned the estimated total cost to make the name changes to the stations. Mr. Miles replied that the station name change would be timed to coincide with the service change to minimize costs. Mr. Cheney then asked what the cost is to change the

ol.24.20 12 Planning Committee Minutes.doc 3 2/8/2012; 8:00 A.M.

website to reflect the station name change. Mr. Miles replied that changing the website is part of the internal process. Mr. Thomas restated that the changes would be made at the same time as the service changes when the website would have to be updated as well. Mr. Thomas pointed out that the name changes to the station is different than station naming rights. Mr. Cheney concluded that he didn't believe that the estimated cost was all inclusive.

Mr. Danish agrees with the name changes but expressed the need to use naming rights to generate revenue. Mr. Miles replied that naming rights have been discussed and will be further looked into.

Ms. Wilkins stated that she supports the recommended name changes but isn't sure that the estimated cost is correct. She also suggested that staff look into the current policy and procedure as it relates to naming rights and station name changes.

Mr. Chrisman asked if there were any dissents to the name changes. Mr. Miles replied that the changes came from the request of city council members. Mr. Miles added that staff will look at other agencies and how naming rights work for them.

Mr. Slagel thinks more discussion should be geared toward the benefit of name changes.

Mr. Tsao recommended that the Marketing department be included in decisions regarding name changes.

Ms. Wilkins made a motion to forward the Agenda Item to the Committee-of-theWhole Initial Consideration Agenda with a recommendation that states that the PresidentlExecutive Director or his designee is authorized to take all actions necessary to rename the following rail stations in compliance with DART Board Policy V.06, Station Naming Policy:

Section 1: "Cityplace Station" shall be renamed "Cityplace/Uptown Station";

Section 2: "Pearl Station" shall be renamed "Pearl/Arts District Station"; and

Section 3: "South Irving Station" shall be renamed "Downtown IrvinglHeritage Crossing Station"

6. *Non Resident Transit Connections to DART Bus and Rail Services

Mr. Plesko briefed the Committee (slides on file with the Office of Board Support) as follows:

• Today's Briefing • Legal Issues (presented by David Schulze, Senior Assistant General Counsel) • Policies Moving Toward "Connection Fees" • How does the existing policy address costs for "connection?" • Recommended Access Policy Changes • Calculation of the Connection Fee • Calculate Capacity Miles • Calculate Operating Cost per Capacity Mile • Capital Cost per Capacity Mile • Capital Maintenance per Capacity Mile • Final Net Cost per capacity Mile • Calculation of Connection Fee by Station and Trip Length • Connection Fee for Non DART Operated Service • DART Operation Outside Service Area (Mesquite Model) • Next Steps

Mr. Cheney related his concern regarding the calculations presented and asked that another presentation be made at a slower pace with a showing of different variables included.

Mr. Chrisman asked for further explanation of the calculations used. Mr. Plesko attempted to answer Mr. Chrisman's questions.

Ms. Wilkins asked if the mentioned local dollars are the member city dollars. Mr. Plesko replied that the amount is the difference between total cost and federal grants. Ms. Wilkins then asked if when capacity per mile is determined are subsidized grants and subsidized local dollars included? Mr. Plesko replied that the cost does not included the federal grants received.

Chair Carlson asked if operational costs were included. He suggested that this topic be brought back to the committee with another attempt at explaining the cost and how it will be presented to the public. Mr. Thomas stated that a type of chart could be used to explain the costs to cities.

Mr. Velasco entered the meeting at 2:12 p.m.

Agenda Report

Attachment:1. Draft Access Policy

Voting Requirements: Majority

DATE: February 21, 2012 SUBJECT:

Amendment to DART Board Policy IV.14 Relating to Access Policy forNon-Resident Services

RECOMMENDATION

Approval of a resolution modifying Board Policy IV.14 Access by Non-DART Shuttle Service toinclude both DART and Non-DART operated non-resident transit services of all modes and toincorporate a uniform definition of the access fee for non-resident services connecting to DART.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

. The subsequent agreements entered into under this policy will result in additional revenue fromnon-resident entities operating transit service which connect to DART transit services. Theamount of revenue will vary by agreement and will be proportionate to the number ofnon-resident transit services operated, the number of passengers connecting to DART and theaverage trip distance traveled by passengers boarding at each respective station.

BUSINESS PURPOSE

. This access policy will help DART achieve the Board Strategic Priority II: Manage SystemDevelopment & Maintain Infrastructure, and; Priority III: Build and Maintain DART's RegionalTransportation Leadership.

. On April 22, 2003, Board adopted Policy IV.14 Access by Non-DART Shuttle Services fromOutside of the Service Area.

. On April 12, 2011 Board adopted Policy III.07 authorizing non-resident cities to contract withDART to operate bus service from outside service area.

. Both policies required a "connection fee" to offset the subsidy for use of the connecting DARTservice where the fee must include all direct and indirect expenses, allocated administrativeexpenses as well as applicable capital expenses including debt service.

. Policy IV.14 requires a connection fee only if passenger volume exceeds 30 passengers per hour.Policy III.07 requires a connection fee without regard for the passenger volume per hour.

. It is recommended that DART Policy IV.14 be modified to define a uniform access fee fornon-resident services connecting with DART including those operated by DART or thoseoperated by a non-DART provider.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 2

Non Resident Services 2/16/2012 10:51:57 AM1

. Two approaches will be presented for determining the fully allocated expense of the service towhich the non-resident service connects. The approach, presented on January 24, 2012determined the fully allocated cost of the service consumed by non-resident passengers but didnot assign the allocated costs of unused capacity on the DART system.

. An alternative method of calculating the access fee determines the fully allocated cost for eachpassenger using the DART system, including non-resident, but adjusts the cost by distancetraveled. This method assigns the cost of all unused DART capacity to the passengers using thesystem adjusted by distance traveled.

. The recommended access policy will incorporate the following principles:

. An access fee shall be paid by the non-resident city or third party entity when non-resident transitservice connects with DART transit service operating during the weekday peak direction and peakperiod.

. The access fee shall recover the full, unsubsidized cost of the transit service consumed bynon-resident passengers using the connecting DART transit service in the weekday peak period,peak direction. Costs will include all direct, indirect expenses, allocated administrative expensesand allocated capital and debt service, net of federal, state and farebox revenue.

. An access fee shall not be required by the non-resident city or third party entity whennon-resident services connect to DART transit during the non-peak hours or in non-peakdirection. The peak period is defined as the hours in the AM and PM peaks where DART isoperating its peak period frequency. All other hours are defined as non-peak.

. The peak direction is defined as transit service operating toward the Dallas Central BusinessDistrict in the AM peak and away from the Dallas Central Business District.

. The per passenger access fee shall reflect the average trip distance traveled by passengersboarding at each respective station. The recommended access fee does not include the cost ofunused DART capacity to each passenger trip.

. The mileage adjusted per passenger access fee shall be multiplied times the number of annualpassengers brought to DART by the non-resident transit service. In the absence of actualpassenger counts, the access fee will be calculated by multiplying the number of trips in the peakperiod times 70% of the seating capacity of the non-resident service.

. The access fee will be adjusted annually to incorporate changes in all costs and changes in thenumber of passengers connecting to DART services.

. Access fees will be required for DART and Non-DART operated services connecting to DARTtransit facilities if ridership exceeds an average of five (5) passengers per hour.

. This resolution will help DART achieve the Board Strategic Priority I: Strive to Exceed CustomerExpectations and; Priority II: Manage System Development and Maintain Infrastructure.

. On December 13, 2011 (Resolution No. 110140), the Board of Directors approved a call forpublic hearing on the 2012 service modifications.

. 11 community meetings, including a Saturday meeting at DART, were conducted throughout theDART service area to allow comment and discussion on the proposed changes with 158 totalattendees. Additionally, staff held several extra meetings by request at other locations. DARTreceived over 434 comment cards (via mail and electronically) associated with service changeissues.

. A Public Hearing on the proposed changes was conducted on January 24, 2012, with 38 speakersoffering comments on the proposed changes.

. In response to feedback received during the meetings, staff carefully reviewed and analyzedcomments stated by customers during the public meeting process and via comment cards. Ananalysis of these common threads is included in Exhibit 1. A number of changes to preliminaryrecommendations have been made as a result of comments received.

. The proposed service changes affect routes in Addison, Carrollton, Dallas, Farmers Branch,Garland, Highland Park, Irving, Plano, Pleasant Grove, Rowlett, and University Park.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3

2012 Service Changes 2/14/2012 2:01:55 PM1

. The proposed 2012 service changes are associated with the opening of the Orange Line in Irving,the Blue Line extension to Rowlett, the new Northwest Plano P&R, introduction of enhanced busservice changes, and service reductions to low-performing routes that would meet DARTFinancial Plan targets.

. The proposed 2012 service changes would be implemented in two phases: the first on July 30,2012, and the second on December 3, 2012. The first phase would include service changesassociated with the Orange Line (Phase 1; from Bachman to the Irving Convention Center),Northwest Plano Park & Ride, and bus service changes in other parts of the service area. Most busservice changes in Irving and Plano would occur in Phase 1. The second phase would includePhase II of the Orange Line (to the Belt Line Station) and extension of rail service to Rowlett.

. The final recommendations move a number of proposed service reductions from July toDecember. Other time adjustments were made to better synchronize bus operations with railstation openings. Attachment 1 lists specific timing of each change.

. These modifications reduce existing hours, miles, and annual cost of service.

. Recommended Rail Changes:

. Under the proposed Orange Line rail operating plan, Orange Line LRT service will operate fromIrving Convention Center Station (Phase I) or Belt Line Station (Phase II) to either Parker RoadStation in Plano (morning and afternoon peak hours Monday-Friday) or LBJ/Central Station inDallas (other times). Trains would operate every 15 minutes during peak Weekday hours, every20 minutes midday and early evening, and every 30 minutes late night and Weekend mornings.Between Plano and Downtown Dallas, Orange Line trains would replace some extra Red Linetrains, but 7.5 minute peak service frequency would be maintained.

. Under the proposed Blue Line rail operating plan, Blue Line LRT service would operate fromRowlett Station to Ledbetter Station. Current service frequencies and hours would continue.

. Recommended Bus Changes:

. Based upon public comments received, preliminary recommendations for route and/or schedulechanges have been modified for a number of routes, including: 31, 155, 210, 377, 385, 400, 404,451, 452, 501, 503, 511, 514, 521, 528, and 887.

. Because of revisions to financial targets, elements of proposed service Options 1 and 2 will beincluded in the final recommendations. This includes full implementation of enhanced bus serviceon Route 487 and more frequent airport shuttle service for Routes 500 and 524.

. Many bus routes will see modifications to allow direct transfer connections to rail service,continuing our efforts to ensure overall connectivity throughout the DART system. Other routesthat parallel rail lines would be discontinued with the introduction of the Orange Line expansionand the Blue Line expansion to Rowlett.

. With the opening of the new Northwest Plano P&R, many routes in the area will be modified toserve the new facility and the key employers in the Legacy and Granite Park areas.

. Recommendations also include service reductions, based upon a detailed review of performanceof service by route, day of week, and time period. Reductions respond to the impact of a reductionin sales tax revenues and ridership changes.


. Routes with alignment changes would include: 21, 31, 39, 51, 59, 110, 111, 183, 283, 310, 347,377, 378, 385, 404, 451, 452, 507, 521, 528, 538 (Saturday), 547, 560, and 887.

. Routes with changes in service frequency and/or hours would include: 21, 31, 35, 49, 51, 111,155, 210, 385, 451, 502, 526, 527, 535, 538 (Saturday), 544, 554, 582, 591, and 594.

. New and replacement routes would include: 208, 346, 348, 401, 487, 500, 501 (301), 503, 504(302), 505 (305), 508 (306), 509 (310), 510 (310), 514 (307), 524, and 529 (51).

. Routes that would be discontinued include: 27, 202, 207, 303, 308, 310, 311, 385 (Saturday), 512,515 (Sunday), 548, 550, 553 (Saturday), and 567.

. Routes that would be renumbered include: 51 (to 529), 301 (to 501), 302 (to 504), 305 (to 505),306 (to 508), 307 (to 514), and 310 (to 509 in Dec 2012).

. Details on the proposed changes are described in Exhibit 1. Maps for affected routes are includedin Attachment 1.

. On January 24, 2012, a public hearing was held.


Section 452.056 authorizes DART to determine routes.

Section 452.115 of the Texas Transportation Code requires DART to hold a public hearing on servicechanges involving 25 percent or more of the number of transit route miles of a transit route; or 25percent or more of the transit revenue miles of a transit route, computed daily, for the day of the weekfor which the change is made; or the establishment of a new route.

EXHIBIT 1: 2012 ROUTE DETAILS

2012 SERVICE CHANGES

Final Recommendations for Route and Schedule Modifications

Update Since Preliminary Proposals

Since preliminary proposals for the 2012 service changes were released for public discussion and

feedback, DART has received a significant volume of comments on the changes. 158 attendees

visited one of the 11 pre-proposal public meetings held in different parts of the community. 434

written comments were received by mail, e-mail, or through the DART web site. We conducted

a Twitter-hosted meeting online with some discussion. Finally, 38 spoke at the Public Hearing

on January 24th

to conclude the public input process.

Service Planning & Scheduling staff has reviewed all of the comments received on the proposed

changes. A large number of the comments were focused on a few of the changes, particularly

the proposal to reduce service on Route 210, an express route serving Jack Hatchell TC in Plano.

With these comments, we have reviewed each of the original proposals, and this revised

document reflects a number of changes.

We have been aided by one other notable change involving financial targets. Originally, the

DART Financial Plan called for a net reduction in bus service of approximately $2.6 million per

year, and the preliminary recommendations fit within this target. Since that time, however,

analysis by DART Finance staff suggests that savings in other areas will allow us to adjust that

target down to a net reduction of $1.1 million per year. This new target has given us the ability

to address many of the comments received, and the final recommendations correspond to the

new target.

The new target has also allowed us to include the most customer-friendly parts of both of the

Options presented in the preliminary recommendations. Specifically, the final recommendations

include both full service on the new Route 487 enhanced bus and more frequent service on the

new Route 500 and 524 airport shuttles to DFW and Love Field.

There are some other notable changes to our initial recommendations. Some of the highlights

include:

Restoration of four additional trips on Route 210 and preservation of a lower level of service

for Route 155, which was proposed for discontinuation. The additional stop at

Frankford/North Dallas Tollway for Route 210 has been removed from the recommendation

due to negative feedback.

Additional weekend service for Routes 452 and 521, requested by a number of riders who are

now using DART service in the affected areas. We have also adjusted two proposed route

alignments in Irving to address similar weekend service concerns.

Additional weekday service for portions of the new Route 404 proposal to address concerns

about peak ridership and safe access at night to adjacent apartments in the

Groveview/Pentagon area.



Several route and/or schedule modifications to address specific concerns raised by the public

and riders.

Timing of some of the proposals has been adjusted to reflect these modifications.

With these changes, the package of final recommendations results in net annual savings of

approximately $1.3 million. We anticipate that one or more of the proposed services will

become eligible for Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) grant funds that will reimburse

up to half of the operating costs for three years, moving the cost well within the adjusted target.

JARC grants are scheduled for award from the North Central Texas Council of Governments in

March.

Details on the proposed changes follow. Maps are included in Attachment 2.

Overview

2012 will mark another milestone in DART’s expansion, with rail openings, a new bus Park &

Ride facility, and introduction of a new small bus program among the highlights. As a

consequence there will be an unusually large number of service changes, implemented at

different times during the year to correspond with facility openings. This attachment describes

the proposed changes in detail.

The proposed changes strive to balance two somewhat contradictory goals: introducing changes

that strive to improve ridership while meeting financial goals that require reduction in overall

service levels. While some of the service reductions are achieved by replacement of bus service

with new rail extensions, other net reductions will be required to meet our financial targets.

Proposed changes include a mix of reductions of less productive services and improvements

aimed at building ridership.

Generally, 2012 service changes fall into one of six key categories:

Orange Line expansion and Irving bus changes

Blue Line expansion and Rowlett/Garland bus changes

Northwest Plano Park & Ride opening and Plano bus changes

Enhanced bus service development

Service reductions

Small bus program

An introduction to each of these categories follows.

Orange Line Expansion, Irving Bus Changes: 2012 changes for Irving build upon the first two

phases of the Orange Line LRT. Phase 1 will extend rail service to Irving Convention Center

Station in July, and Phase 2 will further extend rail service to Belt Line Station. In concert with

the rail changes, staff has conducted an extensive review of current bus services in Irving, and

we are proposing numerous changes. Most of the bus changes are designed to better link bus

service and rail operations, expanding the reach of rail service to a wider range of destinations.



Express bus service from North Irving Transit Center to Dallas will be replaced by rail

operations. Feeder bus service to DFW Airport would be available.

Blue Line Expansion, Rowlett/Garland Bus Changes: 2012 changes for Rowlett and Garland

build upon the extension of the Blue Line LRT to Rowlett in December. Associated with the rail

extension will be related bus changes, including discontinuation of express bus service to

Rowlett and other bus service modifications.

Northwest Plano Park & Ride, Plano Bus Changes: The Northwest Plano Park & Ride facility

is expected to open in July. With that facility, staff has conducted a comprehensive review of

bus services in Plano. Proposed changes include direct express bus service to the Northwest

facility, expanded and improved bus service to key employment and shopping destinations in the

Legacy area, more direct route operations, and other modifications.

Enhanced Bus Service Development: DART long-range plans speak to the development of

enhanced bus service in key corridors with high ridership potential. Enhanced bus service

involves various techniques to speed up bus service, improvements to bus stops, and related

enhancements aimed at building ridership. 2012 service changes include two early steps in the

introduction of enhanced bus service: new limited-stop crosstown service in the Forest Lane

corridor (connecting the Blue, Red and Green Lines) and consolidated crosstown service in the

Westmoreland corridor.

Service Reductions: In accordance with our current financial situation, proposed changes would

result in a net reduction of $2.6 million in annual service. Approximately $1.1 million represents

bus services replaced by new rail extensions, while the remaining $1.5 million represents new

reductions. Most of the reductions come from proposed discontinuation of unproductive service,

changes in service levels, or consolidation of overlapping services.

Small Bus Program: DART will introduce a new small bus program in late 2012. The new

buses will begin operation on existing FLEX routes and On Call zones in October, and then will

be introduced on a number of new and existing fixed-route services in December. For the most

part, the new buses will operate on regular fixed routes in the same way that large buses have

operated in the past – but the equipment will be more appropriately sized for the levels of

ridership. The assignment of the small buses will be based upon ridership levels, and is

generally not discussed in these proposals.

With rail expansion, a number of the proposed bus changes are linked. As is normally the case,

when we make adjustments to serve new rail segments, most of the changes fall into the

following categories:

Service that parallels the rail line may be reduced or eliminated.

Routes may be extended or shortened to connect at rail stations.

Routes may be diverted to serve nearby rail stations.

New feeder service may be created in the vicinity of rail stations.

Where possible, connecting bus frequencies should match or be an even multiple of train

frequency.



Detailed descriptions of the proposed changes follow. The changes are organized into the

following sections, presented in sequence:

Rail Changes: Detailed operating information for proposed Orange and Blue Line LRT.

July 2012 Bus Changes: Other bus service changes proposed for implementation in July.

December 2012 Bus Changes: Other bus service changes proposed for implementation in

December.

General Schedule Adjustments: Proposed changes in service frequency for some bus routes.

No change in route is proposed. Most of these changes would happen in December.

Rail Changes

This section describes specific rail changes that would be implemented in 2012. With these

changes, peak period service on the Red Line corridor between Plano and Downtown Dallas

would operate every 7.5 minutes during peak periods.

Orange Line LRT – Opening of the first two phases of Orange Line service. Phase 1 (July)

would operate between Irving Convention Center Station and either Parker Road Station or

LBJ/Central Station. Phase 2 (December) would operate between Belt Line Station and either

Parker Road Station or LBJ/Central Station. Weekday morning and afternoon rush hour trains

would operate to Parker Road; trains at other times would operate to LBJ/Central. Frequency of

service and hours would match other light rail services. Trains would operate every 15 minutes

Weekday peak hours, every 20 minutes midday, and every 30 minutes late evening and Weekend

mornings.

Blue Line LRT – Opening of Rowlett extension in December. Trains would operate between

Rowlett Station and Ledbetter Station. Blue Line train frequencies and hours would not change.

July 2012 Bus Changes
