YTD %VARIANCE

(Green = Better Than Goal)

(1) A local or express bus is considered on-time if it does not leave early and is less than 5 minutes late. A Park & Ride bus is considered on-time if it doesnot depart early (except in the morning when a bus can leave from a Park & Ride lot when full) and is less than 5 minutes late - measurements are forpeak hours. OTP is measured by IVOMS which calculates data to the second. Effective FY2009, the 5 minute window is defined as anything less than 6minutes. Rail OTP is based on automated actual arrival and departure times at the terminal stations. A train is considered on-time if it departs a terminalstation less than 5 minutes late or arrives at a terminal station less than 5 minutes past the scheduled arrival time.

(2) Effective October 2006, MDBF Mechanical roadcalls are defined as any mechanical issue encountered during operation of the vehicle in revenueservice that requires a maintenance action resulting from a mechanical failure. Mechanical failures include warranty and fleet defects but excludeaccidents. This indicator is for the bus system but excludes METROLift.
