Supplemental Information
As the successful incumbent of the Beach Cities Transit operation for the last 10 years, Transportation Concepts has continued to respond to a growing economy which has presented challenges by all transit operators in the area, through positive enhancements to both staffing levels and wages. In fact, over this last 5 year contract period, we have hired a number of additional supervisory and clerical staff. When compared to our operation back in 2014, this reflects close to a 50 percent increase just in staff positions.
Additionally, we have also increased driver pay by over 21 percent in just this last year alone in order to successfully attract and retain the best vehicle operators we could hire.
Recognizing the need for increased personnel to enhance the overall operations, we increased staffing by adding the following new positions:
Administrative Clerk — One fT position. This improved customer service, by allowing the dispatchers a greater focus on their coordinating tasks with the drivers and service delivery.
Maintenance Supervisor- One F+ r position. This was done to further enhance technical support to our maintenance team and provide that supervisory shop coverage during all operating hours.
Operations Supervisor- One IiT position added, This provided operations support coverage during all days and hours of operation, as well as to cover for sick days or vacations.
Dispatcher — Two PT positions ( 1 YM) added. This was done to further support coverage by overlapping the Dispatchers and insuring we had coverage for sick day and vacations.
Although these staffing and pay increases have significantly strained our financial outcome on this contracts we have made those business decisions without attempting to seek additionally compensation. This is another reason why we are unique in this industry. It is simple, we don'tjust "talk the talk.... we walk that walk" As a smaller transit organization, our reputation means more to us than just turning a profit. Gill Barnett, the owner of PCI has always stated " If you take care of your customers and take care of your employees, they will in tarn take care of the business" This is one of the key reasons why Transportation Concepts has continued to meet or exceed expectations with the City of Redondo Beach.
During the course of this last contact term, we've been faced with many outside service challenges such as the LAX terminal improvement plan, and continuous road construction within our service areas. Based on our knowledge service area and passenger needs we've been able manage these real time detours and road closures, thus limiting the negative impact on the service.

Again based on our knowledge and experience of the service needs we ve developed a number detour and detour notices for the public in response to annual events such as July 4a' Fireworks Display, Pier Lighting Events, 5KJOK Walk/Run events, thus limiting the impact to the public.
With a challenging labor market, we've maintained 100% service levels through creative and effective driver scheduling, wage increases, and utilizing an outside recruitment agency. TC has also partnered with a Payroll /HR organization ( Paycom) which, besides having all our payroll and HR needs in one place, Paycom also integrates directly with online recruiting sites like Monster, Indeed and Zip Recruiter.
We have worked with the city to spec out vehicles, technical information of vehicle specs, pre -delivery inspections and acceptance inspections. Based on our technical insight; we were able to assist the city in implementing onboard camera systems, TAP card Readers, and an Annunciator system.
We have also worked with the city on recommending additional safety enhancements like the Pedestrian Awareness safety system and Zonar, which is an enhanced web based vehicle inspection system.
Over the last contract term we have partnered with the city to address the current and upcoming changes in the transit industry. These include various conferences and workshops, related to the ZEB mandated requirement of Zero Emission Buses.
Additionally, with the recent requirement by the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA) for the Safety Management System ( SMS), we have been actively working with the City s Safety Consultant on the development of this plan for the City.

Proposal to the City ofRedondo Beach ` SVA
B. BackgroundYAperience with Fixed Route and Paratransit Systems The City of Redondo Beach has contracted with
Transportation Concepts ( TC) to operate the Beach
Cities Transit since 2009. Over these last 10 years TC has provided an exemplary level of Fixed Route and Dial a
Ride services. TC was the driving force in implementing a process to provide accurate reporting of statistics,
including on-time performance and a comprehensive
monthly reporting format that provided a much greater
degree of operational data to the City. TCs approach to success has always been that the management and operation of the Beach Cities Transit remains laser focused on the fact that the community comes first. From our employees to the people we serve, each individual has a stake in the transit system, and without them, we as a Company would not have achieved such success.
Over the initial contract term TC had been instrumental in working with the City of Redondo Beach in a collaborative approach to improve both the image and performance of the Beach Cities Transit service. This enabled BCT to maintain steady growth and stability. TC management had always met or exceeded the Cities performance goals, along with implementing many enhancements, such as a significant fixed route restructure which has resulting in an increase in ridership since implementation. Enhanced Dispatch and management oversight through a relocation of the dispatch center and management offices to the maintenance and bus storage yard located on Kingsdale Ave, which dramatically improved not only supervision, but camaraderie and unity of all employees resulting from this forward thinking change. TC worked with the City in the development of a standardization of vehicle type coupled with a realistic vehicle replacement plan and enhanced our preventative maintenance program to meet the growing technology advancements. In this area alone, we are averaging just 1 road call for every 100,000 miles.
In July 2015 The City of Redondo Beach awarded Transportation Concepts ( TC) a second term contract to continue to operate the Cities Dial -A -Ride and fixed route services.
Beginning immediately we implemented a computerized scheduling and dispatch system which replaced the manual system that was previously in place. As a result we saw better efficiencies in the system and made making reservations for the passengers easier, including reduced passenger call wait time and on call time. Other benefits included improved On time performance ( OTP), NTD reporting, accuracy in trip scheduling and communication with drivers.
Relative to Customer complaints, over the last 5 years we have averaged only 1.5 complaints per month. Of course our goal is Zero however we believe the ongoing focus our BCT team has on customer service is demonstrated in this overall statistic.
TC also continued to work closely with City Staff to further improve our comprehensive management report that provided both operational and fiscal data. TC also assisted the City in the enhancement of the NTD data collection process, which has proven a success in their FTA Triennual performance review/ audit, with zero findings on the TC side.

Over the past 10 years TC has always taken a partnership approach with the communi and worked closely in support of several senior community groups. TC has also enjoyed working closely with the City during sponsored events such as Earth Day, Senior
Workshops, City Staff Tours, Council Meetings and other City Sponsored Events.
TC has also utilized many resources throughout our company to enhance and continually improve service. Our Director of Maintenance has provided oversight and inspections of the City owned fleet to ensure that all preventative maintenance and repairs are completed to the highest standards. This approach has had direct influence on our record of 100% satisfaction rating on all CHP terminal inspections, as well as maintaining our goal of less than 3 road call per 100K miles. As previously stated our road call frequency is 1 road call per 100K miles. In addition to our maintenance support, TC has provided safety training support and OSHA training by our Safety Consultants at IAG. This has led to further improvements to our outstanding safety record.
It has been our pleasure to work with City staff and share their vision of growth and enhancements to the transportation services provided to the community. We truly recognize our role as a partner in the development of the transportation services provided to the community.
With attention to safety TC is proud to have continued to recognize a consistent downward trend in the frequency and preventability of accidents each of the last 10 years we have operated BCT. Over the last 5 year contract term the BCT system is averaging over 185, 000 miles of safe driving between preventable bus collisions. Vs approach starts with hiring the best employees as possible, and then investing the time through training to make every employee extremely safety focused, ultimately leading to a significant benefit to the BCT operation.
Operationally, TC has in place a proactive work environment where focus is placed on safety, service and the enrichment of our employees.
Work schedules are planned out well in advance to accommodate the service need, while allowing employees flexibility in planning their outside activities. TC uses a centralized dispatch system where all employees, customers and associates contact a central location ( phone, email, in-person, radio) to interact with the operation. Once dispatch is notified, immediate action is taken with emphasis placed on customer service and safety. Quality assurance and control is maintained by TC management, starting from the Operations Supervisors that are tasked with maintaining a smooth operation, adherence to schedule, compliance to policy, training, and emergency response if needed.
Overall Company Experience
From the operation of a six bus shuttle operation at the Ontario Airport in 1982, through today, Transportation Concepts has enjoyed measured growth. Currently, the company manages 16 separate Fixed Route, Shuttle or Dial -a -Ride contracts, all in areas with similar challenges as the Beach Cities Transit The company operates these services Operation and Maintenance ofBeach Cities Transit

C. Service Delivery Approach
Management Philosophy
Although Transportation Concepts operates as a dba under Parking Concepts, the provision of effective transportation operations is the core business of Transportation Concepts. We do not have other businesses that divert focus from our primary objective with our clients, such as the City of Redondo Beach; which is to transport passengers safely and effectively while creating a positive image for the BCT as well as our organization simultaneously. Our concentration remains on your service. If additional support is needed other than the provision of normal services, we have very tenured and knowledgeable internal staff that can provide consulting and assistance in the areas of maintenance, labor, risk managements safety, technology, and environmental concerns. If Transportation Concepts does not have internal staff that can provide assistance to the degree necessary, we have several professional consultants that we work with regularly that will provide service as necessary.

38. Assisting the Elderly:
As a person ages, physical changes begin to appear.
Vision — This is affected in many ways; the eyes ability to distinguish between colors is impaired. Bright and contrasting colors should be used to assist elderly persons.
The white or yellow stripes on stairwells and aisles help distinguish between steps and the width of the aisles. Eyes can become very sensitive to bright sunlight. The eye becomes more susceptible to cataracts, which causes vision to be cloudy and blurred. Blurred vision can also affect the elderly person' s ability to judge distance. To further aid the elderly, bus operators are required to call stops, transfer points and time points.
Hearing - The range of hearing, especially in the areas of very high or low- pitched sounds is normally limited by age. It is important, therefore not to shout at an elderly person since this normally does little good and may cause them to become upset or confused. It the elderly person seems unable to hear you, speak a little louder and slower, and even try in a lower voice.
Physical — Many elderly persons experience difficulty in boarding the bus. They may have physical conditions and injuries that limit their mobility. Park the bus close to the curb at the stop, and make sure that the doorway openings are positioned properly. Point out obstacles or hazards, which they may encounter and offer to assist them as they board or alight from the bus.

Upon request, a bus operator can ask passengers in these seats to move in order to accommodate elderly passengers.
The ADA ( Americans With Disabilities Act) does not require elderly persons to use priority - seating areas on the bus.
A few pointers that may help you as a bus operator to assist with the elderly; Announce the bus and route number to elderly passengers standing outside the bus. This can be done using the PA system.
Announce stops, transfer points and time points.
Speak clearly and more slowly.
Park closer to the curb.

Supplemental Information
As the successful incumbent of the Beach Cities Transit operation for the last 10 years, Transportation Concepts has continued to respond to a growing economy which has presented challenges by all transit operators in the area, through positive enhancements to both staffing levels and wages. In fact, over this last 5 year contract period, we have hired a number of additional supervisory and clerical staff. When compared to our operation back in 2014, this reflects close to a 50 percent increase just in staff positions.
Additionally, we have also increased driver pay by over 21 percent in just this last year alone in order to successfully attract and retain the best vehicle operators we could hire.
Recognizing the need for increased personnel to enhance the overall operations, we increased staffing by adding the following new positions:
Administrative Clerk — One fT position. This improved customer service, by allowing the dispatchers a greater focus on their coordinating tasks with the drivers and service delivery.
Maintenance Supervisor- One F+ r position. This was done to further enhance technical support to our maintenance team and provide that supervisory shop coverage during all operating hours.
Operations Supervisor- One IiT position added, This provided operations support coverage during all days and hours of operation, as well as to cover for sick days or vacations.
Dispatcher — Two PT positions ( 1 YM) added. This was done to further support coverage by overlapping the Dispatchers and insuring we had coverage for sick day and vacations.
Although these staffing and pay increases have significantly strained our financial outcome on this contracts we have made those business decisions without attempting to seek additionally compensation. This is another reason why we are unique in this industry. It is simple, we don'tjust "talk the talk.... we walk that walk" As a smaller transit organization, our reputation means more to us than just turning a profit. Gill Barnett, the owner of PCI has always stated " If you take care of your customers and take care of your employees, they will in tarn take care of the business" This is one of the key reasons why Transportation Concepts has continued to meet or exceed expectations with the City of Redondo Beach.
During the course of this last contact term, we've been faced with many outside service challenges such as the LAX terminal improvement plan, and continuous road construction within our service areas. Based on our knowledge service area and passenger needs we've been able manage these real time detours and road closures, thus limiting the negative impact on the service.

Again based on our knowledge and experience of the service needs we ve developed a number detour and detour notices for the public in response to annual events such as July 4a' Fireworks Display, Pier Lighting Events, 5KJOK Walk/Run events, thus limiting the impact to the public.
With a challenging labor market, we've maintained 100% service levels through creative and effective driver scheduling, wage increases, and utilizing an outside recruitment agency. TC has also partnered with a Payroll /HR organization ( Paycom) which, besides having all our payroll and HR needs in one place, Paycom also integrates directly with online recruiting sites like Monster, Indeed and Zip Recruiter.
We have worked with the city to spec out vehicles, technical information of vehicle specs, pre -delivery inspections and acceptance inspections. Based on our technical insight; we were able to assist the city in implementing onboard camera systems, TAP card Readers, and an Annunciator system.
We have also worked with the city on recommending additional safety enhancements like the Pedestrian Awareness safety system and Zonar, which is an enhanced web based vehicle inspection system.
Over the last contract term we have partnered with the city to address the current and upcoming changes in the transit industry. These include various conferences and workshops, related to the ZEB mandated requirement of Zero Emission Buses.
Additionally, with the recent requirement by the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA) for the Safety Management System ( SMS), we have been actively working with the City s Safety Consultant on the development of this plan for the City.

A. Company Organizational Stmcture
Profile - Transportation Concepts is the public
transportation division of Parking Concepts, a California Corporation, with corporate offices in Irvine, California.
PARKING CONCEPTS INC. We currently employ over 1, 500 people. Gill Barnett President and owner of Parking
Concepts, founded the company in 1974 in order to provide an enhanced level of customer service to an industry that had been sorely lacking in customer service. Today, Parking Concepts is one of the most successful and respected parking facility operators in the United States.
In 1982, Parking Concepts was awarded a shuttle bus
contract at the Ontario International Airport It was
at that time that Transportation Concepts was
formed. Over the last 37 years Transportation TRANSPORTATION CONCEPTS Concepts ( TC) has successfully operated numerous
public transportation service Fixed Route and Paratransit contracts similar in scope to the Beach Cities Transit services.
Transportation Concepts is a smaller regional company compared to some of the industry giants providing transit services throughout the United States. The majority of our business is concentrated in California. In fact all region support is based in southern California. The supporting organization is made up of considerable strength in each of their specific disciplines. One of the advantages of Transportation Concepts organizational structure is the access to our corporate support staff. The City can access each member directly as necessary without having to go through layers of people. This results in accelerated response times.

Z Approach, Capacity and Management Philosophy for Operation of BCT Transportation Concepts is unique as a transportation contractor in that we only pursue operational projects that will be a good fit for our organization. We focus on the small to medium size operations and commit highly qualified and experienced managers to lead and oversee these operations. Back in 2008, TC recognized that the City of Redondo Beach BCT would be a good fit for our organization. Since our start up on January 1, 2009, we have felt that this had been a great decision as we have developed an extremely successful relationship with the City and the community, and are excited to continue our quest for enhancements to the Beach Cities Transit Services.
Management Philosophy
Although Transportation Concepts operates as a dba under Parking Concepts, the provision of effective transportation operations is the core business of Transportation Concepts. We do not have other businesses that divert focus from our primary objective with our clients, such as the City of Redondo Beach; which is to transport passengers safely and effectively while creating a positive image for the Beach Cities Transit, The City of Redondo Beach, as well as our organization simultaneously. Our concentration remains on your service. If additional support is needed other than the provision of normal services, we have very successful and knowledgeable internal staff that can provide consulting and assistance in the areas of maintenance, labor, risk management safety, technology, and environmental concerns.
Over the last 37 years, Transportation Concepts has nurtured a management approach/ philosophy that is specific to the individual needs of each of our customers.
Although it is extremely important to have reliable corporate support, we believe that the service is only as strong as every member of the team. As we have demonstrated to all of our clients over these 3 % decades, and specifically, the City of Redondo Beach over the last 10 years, the TC team will always operate as a partner with all City staff in working towards the mutual goal of providing premier service to the residents and visitors of the City of Redondo Beach and surrounding Beach Communities.
Over these last 10 years Transportation Concepts has consistently demonstrated our ability to provide high-quality transit service to the public utilizing BCT. During these years, we have also worked in partnership with the City to enhance technology, procure buses and develop an outstanding and cohesive team approach to a contractual relationship.
Transportation Concepts will continue to consistently strive to ensure the highest quality service is provided in the operation of the Beach Cities Transit Services. Here are some of the methods we utilize to ensure quality control and a higher level of customer service than that of other transportation providers:
Monitoring by Project Manager and Operations Supervisors On street monitoring consists of road observations and unobserved checks. Road observations are unscheduled checks designed to monitor on- time performance, vehicle cleanliness, and safe and courteous driving. Further detail regarding on -street supervision is included in Section O. Iliki
