SEP Guiding PrinciplesGuiding PrinciplesFill in the grid. • Increasing frequency, especially
midday, evenings, and weekends
Get you where you’re going. • Extend lines to major destinations
Improve performance. • Adjust routes to reduce delay and
improve reliability• Maximize resources like Road
Supervision and restroom facilities by terminating in common locations

Using Remix for the SEP• Real-time Route
Adjustments and Cost Implications
• Develop and Toggle through Multiple Alternatives
• User-friendly Interface
• Compare Routes with Demographic Layers

SEP Title VI AnalysisService Equity Analysis
• Streamlined and Automated Process to develop raw data for various analyses
• Immediate output can be analyzed quickly and easily
• Analysis can be done earlier in the planning process instead of after the run-cut

SEP Title VI Analysis
Service Quality Analysis
• Compare travel times from randomly generated minority/non-minority and low-income/not low-income origins and to key destinations between the existing network and the SEP
• Through use of the “Jane” isochrone function on Remix, AC Transit Planners hope to be able to determine if there is a degradation or improvement in travel time to key destinations under the SEP
![Page 11: Remix Conference 2015—Robert del Rosario, "Shaking Up Service and Standardizing Title VI"](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/589dc1951a28abf7288b669b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SEP Title VI Analysis
Service Quality Analysis (Cont’d)
• AC Transit anticipates that using “Jane” provides a cursory test to determine if there are Title VI impacts related to travel time. If the test results are positive, we may need to conduct further, more detailed analyses.
• The ideal next function would be to use the “Jane” isochrone tool to determine the possible change in financial cost of travel when comparing the existing network to a proposed network
