Absent: Glen McGrath and Peggy Whitaker Mr. Daniels called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. Public Hearing Mr. Daniels asked for public comment. Mr. Blanks stated that he would like to see an hour of service in the evening restored rather than restore Sunday service. He stated that he has difficulty getting home in the evenings after work because the service ends early. Mr. Hellewell suggested talking to the Customer Advisory Committee to give feedback regarding service. Consideration of Approval of Minutes Mr. Daniels asked for consideration of approval of the minutes of May 13, 2015. Dr. Mundy made a motion to approve the minutes as presented with Mr. Hellewell seconding the motion and the vote was unanimously carried.

April 2015 Financials Mr. Dorsey stated there was a small loss in financials for April which is attributed to a repayment of some ineligible expenses billed related to the Transfer Station. Ms. Martin stated that these are capital expenses. Mr. Dorsey reviewed the historical analysis on pages 16-17. Mr. Payne asked if Mr. Baker would provide a report showing net figures and a graph showing revenue minus expense growth. Mr. Dorsey stated that GLTC should be able to close out FY15 with a small surplus. Staff experienced some computer related issues earlier in the month with the crash of the server. He asked for patience as we try to restore old emails, etc. As previously stated, staff is continuing to work diligently on the upcoming financial audit. A preliminary site visit is scheduled for June 29 and 30. April Ridership and Operational Goals Mr. Dorsey stated that City ridership is still performing below average. Staff is looking for ways to improve service. The upcoming Transit Development Report (TDP) along with staff input will be addressed in the next few weeks. Areas include analyzing, ridership, routes, and hours of service. Staff had its annual spring clean- up recently as we prepare to move to the new O&M facility. Capital Projects No changes. (Page 19 in the board packet) Technology Mr. Overstreet is continuing to work on several IT issues. As previously stated, due to the main server crash, staff switched from Zarafa email to Microsoft 365. We hope to be able to retrieve Zarafa emails in the near future. Staff has been in Route Match training this week and we are much closer to launching the new system in the next few weeks. The tablets have been installed on the fixed route buses. Mr. Dorsey reminded the board and staff that Route Match’s update to a newer version has been a slow moving process. The software’s main feature is to alert staff and our customers as to the location of a particular bus. Customers will have the ability to track buses via computer or smart phone. Staff anticipates the launch of Route Match hopefully by the end of July. Region 2000 is currently working on updating Google Maps. No updates on the website. Staff is currently finalizing bus announcements. Operations and Maintenance Facility Mr. Dorsey stated that the ground has been broken for the new O&M facility. There was discussion as to whether to have a “Cornerstone Ceremony” as an alternative to a “Groundbreaking Ceremony” due to various scheduling conflicts. Mr. Hellewell made a motion to accept a Cornerstone Ceremony for the new facility with Mr. DePaul seconding the motion. There was further discussion whether to have a ceremony at all although it was be nice to have some type of recognition. There was even discussion on having the ceremony later in the year at a time that is more appropriate. Mr. Payne made a substitute motion with Dr. Mundy seconding the motion that Mr. Daniels and staff return with a recommendation at the next meeting. All board members were in favor of the substitute motion and the vote was carried. Mr. McAllister provided an update on the new O&M facility. He stated that Wendel has presented Josh with information on an articulated bus bay. The special inspections have also been awarded. A kick-off construction meeting will be held soon with meetings tentatively set for Thursdays.

GLTC Board Agenda Detail Item #: 4a Item Title: Management Report Action: For Your Information
Summary: May was a busy and productive month for GLTC, with the close of regular semesters of our local
partner Universities and the Graduation of Liberty University we were kept on our toes making sure full service levels were maintained. We proudly represented GLTC at the LU graduation operating twenty-one (21) shiny blue buses for the peak loads.
Once again staff came through and worked together to make sure we had a successful month. Some notable events and accomplishments this month are as follows:
- GM attended the 2015 American Public Transportation Association (APTA) conference and trade show in Fort Worth, TX
- We provided a community outreach presentation to the Centra Health Community Collaboration
Meeting and had a great response - A public hearing was conducted for our FY 2016 program of projects (Grants) – no comment
was received
- We attended the 2015 Virginia Transit Association (VTA) conference in Williamsburg on May 20th where Josh Baker spoke with the Board of Directors about our needs from the association and how Transit is being represented in Virginia
- Notice to Proceed was delivered to MB Contractors commencing their work on the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Facility
We recently concluded a management team training course led by Terrie Glass of Leadership Solutions, the course focused on helping to make sure our managers and supervisors are top notch in their field and provide the best possible service to the Citizens of Lynchburg and our internal staff. It was a well-received training and brought a lot of great ideas for the enhancement of our team.
The most notable accomplishment didn’t technically occur in May, however significant hours and days were put into preparing for it. This is our Triennial Review, a Federal level “Technical Review” which
examines 17 Sections throughout 188 pages of questions. These areas range from financial management and technical capacity to maintenance to civil rights. A full report is forthcoming with June’s Board report but I can proudly say that (although we had a few findings) overall GLTC
performed very well and received compliments from the FTA Regional Administrator.

GLTC Board Agenda Detail Item #: 4b Item Title: May 2015 Financials Action: For Your Information
Summary: Attached are the financial statements for May. (Pages 7-12)
GLTC’s financial position remains secure in May, with a small continued surplus. This will drop significantly in June where payment of many annual expenses occurs as well as the acquisition of some Information Technology infrastructure. Cash flow remains tight but all of this is normal due to the
timing of payments and our expenses. At the end of May we had not utilized any funds from the Reserve Account, which was a result of the diligence of staff in monitoring and controlling expenses.
Page 13 contains a new revenues less expenses “Net Income” summary and graph. This is a nice clear and concise way to see how GLTC’s bottom line is working out. This report substitutes the three separate ones previously supplied. This chart also helps to show how the current fiscal year compares
to previous fiscal years during the same time periods. Our Financial Audit kicked off this month with a preliminary on site visit June 29th & 30th.

GLTC Board Agenda Detail
Item #: 4c Item Title: May Ridership & Operations Statistics Action: For Your Information
Summary: May Ridership and Performance Measurements are presented in the attached Ridership report.
GM's comments: System ridership remains up overall, with City ridership consistently performing below average. We
continue to look at ways to improve this including an internal committee formed by the GM composed of drivers to help provide feedback on routes and performance.
Recent customer feedback has indicated that total trip length for a passenger has increased from what is was when we performed transfers at the Plaza. This is causing a round trip to take longer and therefore could be reducing total ridership. This new fact is one we will take into further consideration
as we look at our routes. All of this will take time for us to work through and will further be considered in our upcoming Transit
Development Plan (TDP). Maintenance:
Preventative maintenance activities came in at 94% on time in May with a decreased fleet down time of 5.14%. Miles traveled per road call were up to 19,570 an increase from the last report. These statistics are based on a miles traveled of 78,280 in the month of May.
Bus Shelters: Please see report in old business.

GLTC Board Agenda Detail Item #: 4e Item Title: Technology Update Action: For Your Information
Summary: GLTC has made recent investments in our Information Technology infrastructure, this includes acquiring replacement servers and associated equipment. Some of the systems were nearly 10 years
old and were well beyond useful life. These upgrades will help our passengers by providing more reliable communications, faster connectivity to GLTC’s website and soon we will begin offering complimentary Wi-Fi service to all passengers at our Transfer Station!
RouteMatch (Dispatching and Customer Information) – Live system testing begins this week as we continue staff training and background data verification. We still anticipate this system being live by the
end of this summer on all regular route buses. Website - no change/update since the last Board meeting.
On Bus Passenger Information System – on site mapping and programming will take place this week following the 4th of July holiday. We anticipate this system will be fully operational again by the
middle of July on all fixed route vehicles. Google Maps – data validation is in the final phases, we anticipate the Google Maps data feed to be
fully updated and operational within the next month. Contacts: Josh Baker

Item #: 4f Item Title: Operations & Maintenance Facility Update Action: For Discussion
Summary: Work continues to progress in clearing the land and leveling the construction site.
Following the previous Board Meeting, staff met and are recommending that the Board forgo any “Ground Breaking” or “Cornerstone” ceremony on this building. Instead, we desire to focus our entire
efforts on a Grand Opening. This will give us the opportunity to showcase our new facility to all who contributed to its success. And, further to invite the public to tour the facility as this is one that there will be less public traffic compared to our Transfer Station.
Request board concurrence on this alternative.
Current Project Status from Wendel: 1. Site work only at this point:
a. Actual work on site started on 6/3/2015 b. Site limits have been staked c. Utility lines marked d. Construction entrance in place e. Portable toilets on site f. Silt fencing installed g. All clearing is completed h. Erosion & sediment controls in place at street i. Burning of trees and brush completed j. Fuel storage area established with proper soil barriers in place k. 90% of all soil that needs to be removed has been removed, still in process of final
removal l. Staking of rough grades, building pad location, and retention ponds in place m. Starting to cut soil where needed and move to fill areas to include starting of retention
ponds n. Hurt & Profit on site for proof-rolling and compaction testing as needed o. Anticipate job-site trailers on site by Monday, 6/29/2015
2. Next Two Weeks Look-Ahead: a. Off-site utilities b. On-site utilities and storm drainage

5a Summary: Incidental use of Transfer Station Meeting Room
Please see attached draft meeting room policy 5b Summary: Bus Shelters
Currently 22 shelters remain in our inventory for installation, one shelter has been completed since the last Board Meeting.
The following is our working shelter plan with (12) sites we have already identified, we continue to work to identify more sites for installation and will continuously update the Board on progress. The delays related to this project have been a combination of slow response from property owners, limited staff resources to work on the progression of the plan, and issues due to the timing of the FTA Triennial Review. Our focus continues to be on advancing this plan and we anticipate picking up the pace this month. Sites with progress since the last Board meeting are indicated in yellow highlight.
