Ladies and Gentlemen of the SEPTA Board.

Last Saturday I rode a Proterra electric bus on Route 29. It was a very satisfying trip.

EXHIBIT "B"

Once all 25 Proterras are fully operational, and more drivers are qualified on

them, I propose that some of those buses excess of weekend requirements for Routes 29 and 79 be run on Route 45, which also works out of the Southern Depot. Based upon SEPTA's most recent published operating statistics, the Route 45 buses needed would be:

For Saturdays - 8 buses at 167 miles each; and For Sundays - 6 buses at 178 miles each.

The bus miles are well within the 350 miles on a single charge attributed to

the Proterra Catalyst E2.

A table supporting these numbers is shown on the written narrative.

Weekend electric buses for Route 45 will enhance transit service quality on that north-south route, and present these innovative and beautifully styled vehicles to the many people who visit Center City Philadelphia on Saturdays

and Sundays.

Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.

3/28/2019 SEPTA Board Public Comments

Re: Dedining Bus Ridership

Hello, my name is Daniel Trubman.

EXHIBIT "C"

As a member of 5th Square, an urbanist organization committed to improving transit service in the Philadelphia region, I'd like to urge SEPTA to prioritize addressing the continuing dedine of bus ridership. As the Inquirer noted earlier this week, bus ridership fell an astounding 8.3% between 2017 and 2018. In fact, 2018 was the third year in a row in which ridership diminished, and ridership has decreased a staggering 18.2% since 2013. Especially during a period of economic expansion and population growth, induding in Southeast Pennsylvania's urban core, these numbers are unacceptable, and it is incumbent upon SEPTA's management, and the Board, to take vigorous affirmative steps to reverse this trend.

VVhile we applaud the recent introduction of the new route 49, and appreciate the recent initiative to offer two new transit network maps, it is quite dear further and more ambitious actions must be taken. It is approaching nearly a year since Jarrett Walker submitted his Philadelphia Bus Network Choices Report, and yet SEPTA has still not released a Bus Network RedesiQn RFP. While the desire to siQn a MOU with the City of Philadelphia first is understandable, it is hard to believe this step couldn't have been achieved by now if it was important to the agency. Every month this process gets dragged out, the problem only gets worse. In the interim, SEPTA should implement policies like eliminating transfer fees and introducing a family card which the agency can do on its own, and which will immediately boast ridershio.

While SEPTA undoubtedly faces numerous challenges, when we consider that bus ridership is higher than all of the other modes operated by SEPTA combined, it is obvious the agency must prioritize reversing this sustained bus ridership slump.

2018, it is clear that Philadelphia's unsatisfactory results are not inevitable. But these cities also

teach us that outcomes won't improve on their own. Only by acknowledging there's a problem, taking smart proactive steps, and holding management accountable will this Board ensure that real progress is made.

Thank you.
