Introduction Public transportation is provided in the City of Gainesville, and adjacent unincorporated areas of Alachua County, by the City of Gainesville Regional Transit System. The Regional Transit System operates a fleet of 88 diesel buses on its fixed-route system within a service area of approximately 74 square miles and over 149, population. There are 58 routes in the system, including 11 routes that serve the University of Florida campus. From 1991 through 1994, the Regional Transit System experienced declining ridership. However, in 1997, a partnership between the University of Florida and the City of Gainesville enabled the Regional Transit System to realign some of its existing fixed routes and to increase frequencies to provide better connections between routes and better service to the University of Florida campus. This partnership included pre-paid unlimited transit access for all University of Florida students, staff and faculty. In 211, a partnership between Santa Fe College and the City of Gainesville enabled the Regional Transit System to enhance service to the Santa Fe College campus. This partnership included pre-paid unlimited transit access for all Santa Fe College students, staff and faculty. Since 1996, ridership on the system has increased from about two million annual riders to more than ten million annual riders today. Introduction Page v

Chapter I: Annual Trends System-wide, 1991-215 This chapter provides an overview of the system-wide transit ridership trends from 1991 to 215 (see Illustration 1.1). Significant increases in ridership started in 1998, the year after the City of Gainesville and the University of Florida partnership was established. Illustration 1.2 shows the distribution of average annual ridership from 28 to 215 on major City routes. As shown in Illustration 1.2, Routes 1, 5, 9, 12, 2 and 35 have the highest annual average ridership, ranging from 1, riders to 4, riders per year.

Chapter II: Monthly Trends City Routes, 28-215 The Transportation Mobility element of the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan identifies 23 areas as major trip generators or attractors. These areas are identified based on the existing and future land use map series, including neighborhood centers within the City and those identified by Alachua County in the unincorporated portions of the Gainesville Urbanized Area. The routes with the highest annual average ridership are Routes 1, 9, 12, 2, and 35. Illustration 2.1 shows the annual total ridership for each route for Fiscal Year 214-15. Illustration 2.2 shows the distribution of annual ridership for all the city routes for Fiscal Year 214-215.

Chapter III: Monthly Trends Campus Routes, 28-215 The Regional Transit System operates 11 routes on the University of Florida campus (see Illustration 3.1). This section discusses monthly ridership trends for these routes. Compared with city routes, these routes have a greater proportion of student riders. Therefore, their ridership is influenced by the academic calendar of the University of Florida. For example, all of these routes experienced a significant decrease in ridership during the months of December, May and June. More than one-half of the campus routes had a decreasing monthly ridership trend from 28 to 215. Generally, the monthly ridership for Route 125 increased; Routes 117, 118, 119, 12, 126 and 127 remained almost unchanged; Routes 121 decreased; Route 122 had both increases and decreases in different months. Route 128 was established again and had increased ridership. Route 129 was initiated in August 215, expanding transit coverage on the University of Florida campus.
