3 2/16/17 MSRC Agenda For Approval As Recommended 5. Consider Reduced Scope and Value and One-Year Term Extension by City of Bellflower, Contract #ML12051 ($170,000 Install Eight Level II EV Charging Stations) Ravenstein p. 61 The City indicates a preference for installing two Level III/DC Fast Charger stations, rather than the eight Level II station specified in the contract, based on the City s belief that the fast chargers will be more popular and experience a greater turnover. They are requesting approval to substitute the fast chargers, coupled with a corresponding contract value reduction from $170,000 to $100,000. The City further requests a one-year term extension in order to complete the work. THE MSRC-TAC UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL 6. Consider Modified Scope and Six-Month Term Extension by City of Palm Desert, Contract #ML16072 ($56,000 Install EV Fast-Charging Station) Ravenstein p. 67 The City has completed installation of a fast-charging station as specified by the contract, at a cost lower than originally projected. While the station meets the requirements of the MSRC contract, the City s Building and Safety Department determined that it may not satisfy their own accessibility requirements. The City requests to utilize a portion of the cost savings on the fast-charge station towards the installation of an additional, Level II station which would also fulfill their accessibility concerns. The City further requests a six-month term extension in order to complete the work. THE MSRC-TAC UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL ACTION CALENDAR (Items 7 through 9) FYs WORK PROGRAM 7. Consider Application Received under the Near-Zero Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Engine Incentive Program Teebay p. 71 As an element of their FYs Work Program, the MSRC allocated $10 million to provide incentives for near-zero emission natural gas engines certified to the optional standard for oxides of nitrogen. A Program Announcement was released on June 3, 2016, with a closing date of January 6, A total of $5,215,000 has been awarded to date. An additional application requesting $600,000 has been received. The MSRC-TAC Heavy Duty Subcommittee recommends an award to Long Beach Transit in an amount not to exceed $600,000 for the purchase of 40 new transit buses. THE MSRC-TAC UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL iii

4 2/16/17 MSRC Agenda 8. Receive Update on Implementation of Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program (EFMP) and Consider Potential Reduction of MSRC Allocation Hogo In December 2014, the MSRC allocated $800,000 to partner with the SCAQMD in its implementation of the EFMP, which is an old vehicle scrapping and replacement voucher program that includes vouchers for transit passes and a car-sharing program. In September 2015, the MSRC expanded its partnership by allocating additional funding, up to a maximum of $6,201,000. The purpose of this item is to provide an update on the implementation of the program. Based upon the updated information, the MSRC-TAC may choose to consider recommending that the MSRC reduce its previous allocation. THE MSRC-TAC UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS REPROGRAMMING $4M FROM EFMP TO THE MSRC S WORK PROGRAM, LEAVING A BALANCE OF $651K ALLOCATED TO EFMP No written material FYs WORK PROGRAM 9. Consider Approval of Program Announcement for Major Event Center Transportation Program Lynn p. 73 In October 2016, the MSRC established initial priorities for its FYs Work Program.

ACTION CALENDAR (Items 7 through 8) FYs WORK PROGRAM Agenda Item #7 Consider Application Received under the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Program Cynthia Ravenstein, MSRC Contracts Administrator, reported on this item on behalf of MSRC- TAC Member Nicole Soto. As an element of their FYs Work Program, the MSRC allocated $5 million to fund new and expanded CNG and LNG refueling stations, as well as modifications to vehicle maintenance facilities. The MSRC has previously awarded a total of $2,542,000. Consideration of one application from Omnitrans, for three locations, was delayed while clarification was sought. Omnitrans provided clarifying information on the project parameters. Based on this information, at their October 6, 2016 meeting, the MSRC-TAC recommended an award of $400,000 to Omnitrans for two of the three locations, and did not recommend an award for the East Valley location. At their October 20, 2016 meeting, the MSRC deferred action on the application and directed that additional information be sought. Omnitrans has further clarified the East Valley project and commits that the proposed project will result in increased throughput. The MSRC-TAC Infrastructure Subcommittee and the MSRC-TAC unanimously recommended approval of a $500,000 award to Omnitrans. ON MOTION BY MSRC MEMBER GREG WINTERBOTTOM, AND SECONDED BY MSRC ALTERNATE REX RICHARDSON, THE MSRC UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE A $500,000 AWARD TO OMNITRANS, AS PART OF THE ALTERNATIVE FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM. AYES: ANTONOVICH, CARTER, RICHARDSON, ROYBAL-SALTARELLI, YAMARONE, WINTERBOTTOM, MCCALLON, RUSH. NOES: NONE. ACTION: This award will be considered by the SCAQMD Board at its December 2, 2016 meeting. Agenda Item #8 Consider Application Received under the Near Zero Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Engine Incentive Program Ray Gorski, MSRC Technical Advisor, reported on this item. He indicated that this is a continuation of the MSRC s Near-Zero Heavy Duty Natural Gas Engine Incentive Program. The MSRC has received an application from Omnitrans. They are requesting $945,000 for the purchase of 39 new transit vehicles and 24 repowered transit vehicles with the new ISL G near zero engine. The total number of engines which will be purchased under this project is 63. This application has gone through the Heavy Duty Subcommittee as well as the MSRC-TAC, and both recommend approval. Mr. Gorski added that he noted the air quality benefits associated with this program, both from the GHG perspective relative to Omnitrans commitment to utilize renewable natural gas, as well as the criteria air pollutants which are going to be offset by having this lowemission engine used. MSRC Member Greg Winterbottom asked if this Program has a geographic minimum. Riverside is always behind. He asked if they are catching up. Mr. Gorski indicated that Riverside this year has been a somewhat unique case in that they are fully aware of the Program and in general they

12 11/17/16 MSRC Meeting Minutes 6 are very supportive. However, Riverside Transit Agency made some representations that they had issues with the earlier ISL G engine, and before they made a large financial commitment, they wanted to procure one, for which the MSRC is providing an incentive, just to ensure that it has the operability, maintainability, and reliability that they expect out of a transit bus engine. As we discussed at the MSRC-TAC, this engine has gone through its beta testing and has performed extremely well. This is going to be a very cost effective solution for not only criteria pollutants but GHG emission reductions also. Mr. Winterbottom indicated that OCTA would like to get involved in the testing of the 11.9 liter engine. Mr. Gorski added that in addition to the 8.9 liter ISL G, Cummins Westport Innovations is going to be launching their 11.9 liter engine. The 11.9 engine will serve a lot of needs. Specifically, if you look at the power requirements for an articulated bus, the 11.9 will be a much better fit. OCTA has expressed their interest as participating in either a beta test program or some other early demonstration of the 11.9 engine in an articulated transit bus. MSRC staff side will work with the SCAQMD to find out if there will be the opportunity to have the engine made available for OCTA to use in a demonstration program. Mr. Winterbottom commented that after being able to share their graphic at the last meeting of the emissions of one bus in 1980 equaling the emissions of 240 buses today, he doesn t think there is any question of why we do not have smog days any more. He would appreciate if the MSRC could consider this as part of their Program. ON MOTION BY MSRC MEMBER GREG WINTERBOTTOM, AND SECONDED BY MSRC ALTERNATE REX RICHARDSON, THE MSRC UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO AWARD $945,000 TO OMNITRANS FOR THE PURCHASE OF 39 NEW TRANSIT VEHICLES AND THE REPOWER OF 24 TRANSIT VEHICLES WITH THE NEW ISL G NEAR ZERO ENGINE. AYES: ANTONOVICH, CARTER, RICHARDSON, ROYBAL SALTARELLI, YAMARONE, WINTERBOTTOM, MCCALLON, RUSH. NOES: NONE. ACTION: This award will be considered by the SCAQMD Board at its December 2, 2016 meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Agenda Item #9 Other Business MSRC Vice Chair Larry McCallon presented MSRC Member Michael Antonovich with a Certificate of Appreciation for his service from December 2002 to November 2016, as SCAQMD s representative on the MSRC, signed by MSRC Chair Greg Pettis on behalf of the MSRC. Vice Chair McCallon stated that Mr. Antonovich will be missed not only on the MSRC, but at the SCAQMD, Metrolink, and the Supervisor s position. He has been an icon in this area for a long time. Mr. Winterbottom shared that he had the distinct pleasure and opportunity of working with Mr. Antonovich when the Dodgers Program was initiated. He recalls being at the Dodger Stadium that night and receiving the accolades that MSRC received for doing that wonderful program. It was the Mr. Antonovich s leadership that got us there. He thanked Mr. Antonovich for his service. Mr. Antonovich thanked the MSRC. He indicated that it was a pleasure working with all of them. He worked with some Members on various committees throughout the County and appreciates their friendship and involvement.

OCTA was awarded $1,470,000 by the MSRC to repower 98 of their buses with the new near-zero certified Cummins natural gas engines. MSRC policy requires that the replaced engines be scrapped if the engines that are being replaced were the basis for calculating emission benefits from the project. Rather than scrapping all 98 engines, OCTA requests to donate four of the removed engines to local community colleges for use in their automotive training programs. The engines would be used primarily for tear down and reassembly, with limited starts to ensure they were put back together correctly. The MSRC-TAC reviewed the request and recommended approval, with one abstention. ON MOTION BY MSRC VICE CHAIR LARRY MCCALLON, AND SECONDED BY MSRC MEMBER GREG WINTERBOTTOM, THE MSRC UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE OCTA S DONATION OF 4 OF THEIR REMOVED ENGINES TO LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOR USE IN THEIR AUTOMOTIVE TRAINING PROGRAMS.

Agenda Item #8 Consider Potential Reallocation of Costs Between Tasks and/or Contract Value Increase by the Better World Group, Contract #MS16030 ($120,000 Programmatic Outreach Services) Cynthia Ravenstein, MSRC Contracts Administrator, reported on this item. The MSRC has authorized the development and implementation of a new website. While the Better World Group (BWG), the MSRC s Programmatic Outreach Coordinator, is already responsible for routine content review, additional BWG effort is needed for more extensive content review as well as providing input on the new design and functionality. BWG has requested a contract value increase of $10,716: $9,990 to support the development and implementation of the new MSRC website, and $726 to cover reimbursement of travel expenses for the MSRC retreat s keynote speaker. Additionally, BWG has indicated that the current allocations in their contract are not sufficient to address more extensive than usual work involved in planning and orchestrating the September 2016 Joint MSRC/MSRC-TAC Retreat. There is enough money under the task in their contract for Planning, Facilitation, and Participating in Events and Meetings, that could cover the costs, but it would leave a very low balance for the rest of the contract term which goes to the end of December 2017, especially considering the MSRC s expressed desire to have even more outreach to stakeholders. The MSRC-TAC s Administrative Subcommittee considered some different options. It would be feasible to reallocate funding from some of the other tasks in the contract that haven t been so demanding. For example, Development and Dissemination of Marketing and Promotional Materials, $2,000 could be reallocated from that. There is also a Reserve for Future Tasks of $14,620, and $3,891 is recommended to be reallocated from that to the Events and Meetings task. The remaining costs could be covered from what was already in the contract for that. In summary, the total contract value increase that is recommended is $10,716: that would be covering the costs for supporting the new website development and reimbursing the keynote speaker; and the other $5,891 would just be reallocations of funds that are already in the contract. If the MSRC chooses to approve this increase, that would be considered part of the MSRC s FYs Work Program. ON MOTION BY MSRC VICE CHAIR LARRY MCCALLON, AND SECONDED BY MSRC MEMBER GREG WINTERBOTTOM, THE MSRC UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE, FOR THE BETTER WORLD GROUP CONTRACT #MS16030, A $10,716 CONTRACT VALUE INCREASE TO SUPPORT NEW WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF KEYNOTE SPEAKER TRAVEL EXPENSES, AND REALLOCATION OF A TOTAL OF $5,891 BETWEEN TASKS. AYES: CARTER, ROYBAL SALTARELLI, YAMARONE, WINTERBOTTOM, MCCALLON, PETTIS. NOES: NONE. ACTION: This item will be considered by the SCAQMD Board at its January 6, 2017 meeting.

19 12/15/16 MSRC Meeting Minutes 6 Agenda Item #9 Consider $1,800 Contract Value Increase and Six-Month Term Extension for Mineral Studios, Contract #MS16004 ($25,890 Design, Develop, Host and Maintain MSRC Website) In the next item on the agenda, Agenda Item #10, the MSRC will consider a recommendation to award a contract for developing and maintaining a new MSRC website. It is anticipated that the new website will launch approximately five months from the date of contract execution. However, Contract #MS16004, which covers maintenance of the existing website, will expire on July 3, Mineral Studios has provided a quote of $1,800 to continue maintaining the MSRC website for an additional six months. The MSRC-TAC reviewed the request and unanimously recommended approval. ON MOTION BY MSRC VICE CHAIR LARRY MCCALLON, AND SECONDED BY MSRC MEMBER GREG WINTERBOTTOM, THE MSRC UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE A SIX-MONTH TERM EXTENSION AND $1,800 VALUE INCREASE OF CONTRACT #MS16004 FOR MINERAL STUDIOS. AYES: CARTER, ROYBAL SALTARELLI, YAMARONE, WINTERBOTTOM, MCCALLON, PETTIS. NOES: NONE. Agenda Item #10 Consider Selection of New MSRC Website Developer Cynthia Ravenstein, MSRC Contracts Administrator, reported on this item on behalf of MSRC-TAC Chair Gretchen Hardison. In August of 2016, the MSRC authorized the release of RFP #P , seeking a contractor for the development, hosting and maintenance of a new website. The solicitation period commenced on October 7, 2016 and closed on November 10, A total of 11 proposals were received. The MSRC-TAC Website Evaluation Subcommittee has completed reviewing, scoring and ranking of each proposal, and conducted oral interviews on December 7, They recommended the selection of the firm Geographics. This is a local firm. They have done work with some MSRC Member agencies. The feeling was that they have a very good understanding of the MSRC s mission and the specific projects. Their team would bring a lot of public agency experience, they have high staff qualifications, and they have had numerous awards for sites they have developed. They provided a detailed work plan. It is also the best cost value. It is the second lowest cost overall. Included in that is the latitude for design changes, as the development is going forward. It would also include the hosting and basic maintenance for a two-year period and 10 hours of telephone support for any issues. When the MSRC-TAC considered this, there was also a feeling that there could be other things that might come up, additional support that might be needed beyond 10 hours, so the MSRC-TAC is recommending an award with a 10 percent contingency, so the total award not to exceed $56,953. Of that, $5,178 would be an on-call reserve to be utilized only with prior written approval from Ms. Ravenstein. MSRC Chair Greg Pettis asked Ms. Ravenstein what she meant by local. Ms. Ravenstein replied that Geographics is located in Riverside, California.

20 12/15/16 MSRC Meeting Minutes 7 ON MOTION BY MSRC MEMBER GREG WINTERBOTTOM, AND SECONDED BY MSRC VICE CHAIR LARRY MCCALLON, THE MSRC UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE AN AWARD TO GEOGRAPHICS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $56,953, OF WHICH $5,178 WILL BE A CONTINGENCY/ON CALL-RESERVE TO BE UTILIZED ONLY WITH PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE MSRC CONTRACTS ADMINISTRATOR. AYES: CARTER, ROYBAL SALTARELLI, YAMARONE, WINTERBOTTOM, MCCALLON, PETTIS. NOES: NONE. OTHER BUSINESS Agenda Item #11 Other Business Ray Gorski MSRC Technical Advisor, indicated that the MSRC Work Program Development process is well on its way. The three categories which the MSRC determined to be their first priority include the Local Government Match Program, Infrastructure, and the Event Center Program. All the Subcommittees have met. They all have the goal to be as expeditious as possible in getting draft solicitations to the MSRC. The current objectives have been laid out. The timeline is for the Event Center Program, at a minimum, to have the application ready for MSRC review no later than February, and it will go to the SCAQMD Governing Board for approval in March, if the current timeline can be maintained. The Local Government Match Program will probably require an additional month. We anticipate that that will be brought for MSRC review in the March timeframe. For the Infrastructure Program, we are working very closely with the California Energy Commission (CEC). The CEC has expressed a high degree of interest in trying to leverage, to the extent feasible, the available funding that each agency has to implement programs here in the South Coast, which are of mutual benefit to both agencies. Most likely that will be brought to MSRC consideration in the March/April timeframe, at the latest. Once those three Programs are off the MSRC s plate, we will still be looking to invest the remaining balance of the funding, which could be on the order of $25 million. There is still going to be a fair amount of work to be done after those three programs. These programs are very popular. Calls are received almost daily from entities wanting to know when they are going to be available. Everyone is working as quickly as practical to get the MSRC programs for consideration after the first of the year, probably in February, as a reasonable timeline. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD Public comments were allowed during the discussion of each agenda item. No comments were made on non-agenda items. ADJOURNMENT THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MSRC MEETING ADJOURNED AT 2:17 P.M. NEXT MEETING Thursday, January 19, 2017, at 2 p.m., Room CC-8. [Prepared by Ana Ponce]

21 2/16/17 MSRC Meeting AGENDA ITEM #2 Summary of Final Reports by MSRC Contractors

22 MSRC Agenda Item No. 2 Date: From: Subject: February 16, 2017 Ray Gorski, MSRC Technical Advisor Final Reports Received and Reviewed Four final reports were submitted for MSRC review and approval during January: City of Pasadena, MS12080 ($225,000 Expansion of Existing CNG Infrastructure) Anaheim Transportation Network, MS14073 ($221,312 Anaheim Resort Circulator Service) County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, MS14077 ($175,000 Construct New Limited- Access CNG Station) Orange County Transportation Authority, MS16095 ($694,645 Implement Express Bus Service to Orange County Fair) A summary of each Final Report is attached. The MSRC-TAC has reviewed each Final Report and recommends approval. 1

23 Contractor: City of Pasadena Contract Number: MS12080 Contract Amount: $225,000 Title: Expansion of Existing CNG Refueling Infrastructure Discussion: The City of Pasadena was awarded $225,000 in MSRC Clean Transportation Funding to partially offset the costs of expanding the City of Pasadena publicly accessible CNG Fuel Station. The expanded facility is located at 345 W. Mountain Street. Construction of the CNG fueling station expansion began in April 2016 when the City issued the Notice to Proceed to the Contractor, Fleming Environmental Inc. Following approval of all site plans and acquisition of all necessary permits, facility construction commenced and was completed on November 7, Before After The configuration of the CNG station prior to expansion included the following: 600 SCFM dryer; 300 SCFM compressor; Three each 5000 psi and 12,000 SCF ASME storage vessels; 20 slow fill posts; One two-hose 3,600-psi fast fill dispenser. The expansion consisted of the following: Installation of new Priority Panel Installation of Motor Control Panel 300 SCFM compressor Three each 5000 psi and 12,000 SCF ASME storage vessels One two hose 3600 psi fast fill dispenser 2

24 New Compressor New Fast fill dispenser Issues Encountered: The City experienced a delay in the implementation of this project, stemming from both staffing issues as well as delayed delivery of equipment. Although the expansion was originally budgeted at $500,000, there were cost overruns related to equipment purchases and consulting services. For example, the purchase of compressors was originally budgeted at $240,000, but ultimately cost more than $410,000. The original installation, consulting, and project management costs were budgeted at $100,000, however Fleming Environmental, Inc. was lowest bid for these services and awarded a contract for over $300,000. This project expanded the capacity of the City of Pasadena s CNG fueling station to better meet the fueling demands for an expanding CNG fleet. The MSRC funding helped offset the cost of capital equipment and site construction. Before this expansion was completed, the projected fueling demand grossly exceeded the storage and dispensing capabilities of the lone existing compressor. The expansion of the fueling station will allow the City to continue to purchase CNG-powered vehicles. 3

25 Contractor: Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) Contract Number: MS14073 Contract Amount: $221,312 Title: Anaheim Resort Circulator Service Discussion: The City of Anaheim is host to multiple entertainment venues and event centers. With the popularity of special events on weekends, the resulting increase in traffic congestion exceeds the current capacity of the roadways and intersections in this area. To reduce emissions from private vehicle trips to sporting and other major events and lessen traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, the ATN, with the support of the MSRC, implemented a transit circulator service, with primary emphasis on transporting residents and visitors from three pick-up locations within The Anaheim Resort area: 1) Downtown Disney, 2) The Shops at Anaheim GardenWalk, and 3) Anaheim Convention Center. Patrons were then transported to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) which is steps away from two major event centers: 1) Angel Stadium of Anaheim (home of the Los Angeles Angels) and 2) The Honda Center (home of the Anaheim Ducks). This two-year program was built upon the success of the past program also funded in part by the MSRC (MS12064). Use of the service cost $5 (price of an ART standard day pass). Four (4) Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) ADA-accessible low-floor design buses were utilized in the service. The anticipated number of boardings at each event was 150 patrons. During the project period, service was provided for 59,890 passenger trips for 248 events, with an average daily ridership of 242 passengers per event. The service helped to reduce traffic congestion for motorists on adjacent arterial streets and freeways, thus yielding air quality benefits by reducing emissions associated with stop and go driving and queuing. Secondary benefits realized included encouraging residents and visitors to expand their use of alternate transportation modes to other trips. Planning and Administration Following contract execution, the ATN initiated planning for the Ducks Express. A meeting with the Anaheim Ducks Sales and Marketing staff, Honda Center representatives, and ATN staff was held to define the responsibilities and expectations for the upcoming season. Follow-on discussions were held to coordinate service start-up and eventual transition of service from the Honda Center to ARTIC beginning December 6, Three pick-up locations in the Anaheim Resort area were identified: Disneyland Resort Main Transportation Center, Anaheim Convention Center Grand Plaza, and Anaheim GardenWalk. Planning for the Angels Express service began after the Ducks Express service began operations, and was similar to planning for service for the Ducks games, including meetings with Angels staff to coordinate communication, discuss responsibilities, and establish expectations. Information about the relocation of the Angels Express stop location to the newly opened ARTIC for the duration of the 2015/16 Angels baseball season was provided to Angels Baseball representatives. In addition, an Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) team of Guest Transportation Assistants was scheduled at ARTIC bus stops (pre- and post-games) to help direct passengers to Angel Stadium. Based on the meetings and the anticipated events and ridership projections, ATN created initial routes 4

26 and schedules, and planned other coordination aspects of the service. Communication and meetings continued as needed throughout the season for both the Ducks Express and Angels Express services, and the service and schedules were adjusted as needed. For example, at the request of Angels Baseball and the Anaheim Ducks, additional buses were deployed for service for return trips from the games to ensure continuity of service and limit reliance on taxi service. Promotion and Outreach Promotional outreach included meetings with Anaheim Ducks representatives, Honda Center representatives, as well as the ATN operational team and public relations consultants. The ATN updated web pages and Facebook posts on an ongoing basis, released articles and press releases, and met individually with the hospitality community and Visit Anaheim. In addition, the ATN coordinated site- visits to the local business establishments, and made special presentations to Walt Disney Travel Company, Western Canada travel agents, Get-Away Travel Company, Alaska Airlines and Expedia. The project team developed specific collateral materials to inform the public about the upcoming services. The ART System Map was updated to include the Ducks Express information, including the schedule. The ATN developed and distributed post cards to all Disney hotels and restaurants at Downtown Disney District and the Anaheim GardenWalk. Operations and Monitoring The four buses providing service throughout the contract period were 2012 CNG Glaval Entourage models with Ford F L engines. Each vehicle accommodated 29-seated passengers and 14 standees, and was fully accessible with two wheelchair positions available. The service included three pick-up locations in The Anaheim Resort area: Disneyland Resort Main Transportation Center, Anaheim Convention Center Grand Plaza, and Anaheim GardenWalk. The Ducks Express service was put into service on Friday, October 17, 2014, to coincide with the Ducks season home opener. The inaugural service weekend operated without issues and was well received by the passengers. On an on-going basis, Ducks Express service began two (2) hours before the start of the game and operated on a continuous loop, with two buses, until 30 minutes after the game start time. Return services began at the start of the third period and continued until the end of the game. Ducks Express service continued through the National Hockey League (NHL) playoff season. Service for hockey games resumed with the start of the NHL s season in October 2015 and continued through the playoff season in Spring The Angels Express service began with the beginning of the regular baseball season on Monday, April 6, 2015, and continued for the duration of the Major League Baseball (MLB) season. Like the Ducks Express, Angels Express service began two (2) hours before the start of the game and operated in a continuous loop, with two buses, until 30 minutes after the game start time. Return services began at the start of the seventh inning and continued until the end of the game or until the stadium was cleared. Service for baseball games resumed with the start of MLB s season in April 2016, and continued until the end of the regular season in September In addition to the service for the Angels Baseball and Anaheim Ducks games, service was provided to 5

27 the following other events, including the Harlem Globetrotters, Disney on Ice, and Supercross racing, Monitoring and evaluation was conducted throughout the project period, and adjustments to the schedule were made as necessary. At the request of Angels Baseball and the Anaheim Ducks, additional buses were added to the schedule for return trips from the games to create continuity of service. Problems Encountered Since the service implemented under this project was based on a past project with similar features, the ATN could anticipate potential challenges and pre-emptively address them before problems could arise. Problems encountered during the first installation of the project included not having sufficient buses to handle demand for events with higher-than-usual ridership, and having to adjust operations and service when games or events went longer than expected. During this project period, ATN planned for situations like these, thereby reducing resulting issues. Results The ATN provided ART event circulator service for 248 events, with 6,777 vehicle service hours of operations and 59,890 passenger trips during the project period. Emissions Benefits During this project, survey data showed that 89% of the peopled surveyed would have driven a personal vehicle had they not utilized the ATN service, highlighting the impact the service had on emissions. Based on the ridership data gathered throughout the project period, the service provided through this MSRC-supported project yielded the following air quality benefits: Pollutant Reactive Organic Gases (RGO) Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Particulate Matter (PM) Net Reduction 105 pounds 104 pounds 52 pounds Lessons Learned The success of ART s Event Center Transit Service has been made possible due to the partnerships with the MSRC, event center partners, the hospitality community, and the City of Anaheim. The program built upon the success of the past program and provides strong support for continuity of service from the previous weekends and holidays service to the need for the ongoing home game transit services. Surveys conducted showed the effectiveness of the service at introducing visitors and residents to ATN transit service. ATN gathered survey data from the patrons on the Ducks Express during the service period of October 2014 to February 2015, as well as the Angels Express during the service period of April through June The ATN collected 65 survey responses and the most pertinent data gathered from the surveys included: 6

28 28% of the passengers reside in a foreign country (primarily Canada and Australia), whereas 34% reside in the Southern California area; 23% were made aware of the ART event center service through their hotel/motel, and 34% heard about it from a local restaurant; 60% traveled to the resort area in a car rental, taxi or personal car prior to boarding an ART bus; 89% stated that if the ART event center service were not available, they would have driven their personal car, rental car or taken a taxi to the event; 95% were first time users of ATN event center services; and 92% said they would use the service again. The surveys confirmed that many of the passengers heard about the service either through their hotel (for visitors to the area) or through a local restaurant (reaching both visitors and area residents). This feedback confirmed that the collateral material left at hotels and restaurants was very effective. Also, based on feedback during the previous pilot program, ATN continued to send weekly updates to 70 area hotels, reminding them of upcoming games and events and that ATN could assist in transporting their guests to and from the games/events. This weekly blast proved to be very successful. Conclusion ATN believes that the outstanding response from the event center patronage was a result of a responsive service and schedule design, convenient pick-up and drop-off locations, and the employment of comprehensive outreach and promotional strategies. Continued outreach and communication with local businesses and the community continues to improve ridership and create patronage and education about transit alternatives. 7

29 Contractor: County Sanitation District of Los Angeles County Contract Number: MS14077 Contract Amount: $175,000 Title: Construct New Limited Access CNG Station Discussion: The Sanitation Districts received $175,000 in MSRC Clean Transportation Funding to install a new time-fill CNG fueling station at their San Gabriel Valley Field Office located in City of West Covina. The Sanitation Districts are continuing their effort in expanding the use of alternative fuel by purchasing two CNG Vactor sewer-cleaning trucks to serve the Sanitation Districts' service area. These Vactor trucks will be fueled on-site at the newly built time-fill station. Due to the restricted access to the Field Office location, the fueling station will only provide limited access to other local fleets. WORK PERFORMED The Sanitation Districts' staff performed the preliminary engineering design and site selection first and then later, an invitation to Bid package was released for selection of a design and engineering contractor. Through a competitive bid process, T Mitchell Engineers (TME) was selected and awarded the contract. A kick-off meeting and site survey were held with TME in February Design and construction drawings were completed by TME in June An Invitation to Bid was issued for a construction contractor and through a competitive bid process. The contract was awarded to Allsup Corporation in August TME submitted permit applications to the City of West Covina and the Los Angeles County Fire Department in June The review was completed expeditiously and permits were issued in July A construction kick-off meeting was held in October ANGI Energy Systems, the equipment (compressor and dryer skids) supplier was awarded the contract through a competitive bid process. All equipment was delivered on site soon after the construction began to avoid any unexpected delay. The construction was completed in April 2016 but several weeks were spent in debugging the system. The station officially began operation in May Figure 1 shows the vacuum-jetter truck fueling at the station. The time-fill station has two dispensers and is designed to fuel up to 240 gasoline-gallonequivalents (GGE) of CNG in an 8-hour period. Natural gas is supplied from the Southern California Gas Company from a direct-metered connection via the Gas Company's distribution line from the street. Supply gas flow up to 100 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) is available and gas pressure exiting the meter is at a minimum of 15 psig. The fuel management system is EJ Ward Card system that is an internal accounting system used within the Sanitation Districts. 8

30 Figure 1 -Vacuum Jetter Truck Refueling at the Newly Constructed Fueling Station. Issues Encountered: The only problem encountered was the delay in construction due to some rainy days in December During the rainy days, the open ditches, dirt piles and the electrical had to be covered with tarps as shown on Figure 2. This caused a delay in the start-up by a month. Outreach: Under the terms of this Contract, the Sanitation Districts released an announcement on May 20, 2016, notifying the communities that the time-fill fueling station is open with limited access. A copy of the announcement is shown below on Figure 2. 9

31 Figure 2 - Announcement Placed in the Local Newspaper Air Quality Benefits: The mission benefits resulting from this Project are the NOx emissions reduced from the use of low-emitting natural gas engines and equipment in County Sanitation District operations. Additionally, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced from the use of natural gas fuel, which has a lower carbon content as compared to diesel fuel. 10

32 Contractor: Orange County Transportation Authority Contract Number: MS16095 Contract Amount: $694,645 Title: Express Bus Service for Orange County Fair Discussion: The OC Fair Express bus service returned for the 2016 fair season. The Orange County Fair is a 126-year old tradition and is considered one of the largest fairs in the nation with over 1.3 million visitors each season. The popularity of the fair results in high weekend traffic congestion that exceeds the current capacity of the roadways and intersections in close proximity to the fairgrounds. The level of service is especially impacted at the intersection of Del Mar Avenue and South Newport Boulevard, as well as the on-ramps and off-ramps of the Costa Mesa (State Route 55) Freeway. The traffic congestion not only results in harmful emissions from idling autos, but also poses safety concerns resulting from autos backing up into the roadway intersections and onto the freeway mainline. To lessen these impacts, OCTA partnered with the Orange County Fair and Event Center, and with support from the City of Costa Mesa, provided direct, frequent bus service to the Orange County Fair beginning on Friday, July 15, 2016, and continuing through Sunday, August 14, 2016, for a total of 15 days of operation. The service provided a convenient and attractive alternative to automobile travel by offering transit service directly to the Orange County Fair. To satisfy the popular demand and in response to customer feedback received, the service was again offered from nine different locations for the 2016 season, serving the nine transit facilities shown in the figure. Again this year, headways ranged from 20 minutes to 40 minutes, depending on the route, to accommodate the increased demand of the popular service. This year, the Orange County Fair Express deployed 30 coach operators, 44 ambassadors, and 25 transit buses, including ten (10) 2001 model NABI Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) buses, fourteen (14) 2008 model New Flyer Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, and one (1) 2007 model New Flyer CNG buses. The 2008 model New Flyer CNG buses are powered with 2008 Cummins ISL G engines with 0.2 grams per brake-horsepower/hour of nitrogen oxide (NOx). The 2007 model New Flyer CNG 11
