Today’s Action
• To approve for Final Committee of the Whole consideration a call for Public Hearing for March 2017 service changes
• This is not approval of the changes themselves, which would occur after the Public Hearing
• March changes target access to emerging employment centers and adjustments targeting on time performance
• We are proposing to add a TI-related site-specific shuttle change that emerged after the Planning Committee

New Issue – TI Spring Creek Shuttle Discontinuation
• TI has notified DART that it will be closing its Spring Creek facility in Plano, and wishes to discontinue the site-specific shuttle to that facility at the end of September 2016
• Non-TI riders using this shuttle have alternative service through the North Central Plano On Call zone
• We would propose to discontinue service as of September 30th and add this service to the Public Hearing call

Access to Employment Centers
• Many of the March 2017 service change proposals involve routes serving two major employment centers:
– Legacy area in Plano, with new corporate campuses opening for Toyota, FedEx Office, JP Morgan/Chase, and Liberty Mutual and other developments
– Cypress Waters area in Dallas, with new corporate campuses opening for 7-11, Core Logic, and others
