Re: Effect of Potenrial Transit Cuts on Saint Paul and Minneapolis
Sevezal Councilmembers have requested background information on the impact that the proposed
cuts in transit services and faze increases would have on Saint Paul residents and businesses as a
companion to the resolution expressing the Council's concern which is on the Council's Agenda
today. As you know, the Metropolitan Council begins the formal review process today to consider
the options that have been proposed by Metro Transit Officials to address the $60 znillion fixnding
shortfali projected for the next biennium.
It is important to emphasize at the outset that cuts and increases proposed by staff will affect the
cifies of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to a far greater degree than the rest of the metxo azea
combined.
y' To put it another way, the Cifies of Saint Paul and Minneapolis comprise
approlcimately 22.6% of the total populafion of the Twin Cities Metro Area but the
two cities together are scheduled to absorb 50% of the proposed cuts in services.
The inequity in the proposed cuts for Saint Paul and Minneapolis is even more e� because
the two cities are home to the majority of low and moderate income workers and families in the
metropolitan area, precisely those who depend on txansit the most to get to wark. And, it is also
important to emphasize that the majority of transit riders in Saint Paul use the bus to go to and
from work everyday.
�+' It is also important to look at there proposed cuts in the context of what has been
happening to transit services in the last £ve years. In the recent past, Saint Paul and
Minneapolis have disproportionately received more decreases in services than the
rest of the metro area.
Overall, bus rider ship has been decreasing since 2001 largely due to the service cuts enacted
between September 2002 and December 2003, (the majority of which were focused on Saint Paul
and Minneapolis) and the three consecufive fare increases which were approved in Juiy 2001,
D�-a37
August 2002, and August 2003. These disproportionate cuts to Saint Paul and Minneapolis have
been "justified" by transit officials by pointing out that they reflect the changing transportation
patterns and population demographics of the Twin Cities. There are more suburb to subtarb work
trips everyday than there are commutes to the iwo downtowns. However, officials fail to account
for the fact that the two centraI cities contain more transit dependent residents today than in the
past and that service cuts affect the transit dependent populaflon more direcfly because they have
fewer transit options.
In addition, past experience has proven that service cuts have resulted in the overall decrease in
ridership, wluch is directly confrary to ail fhe goals and pians that have been developed for transit
over the last five years under both the Ventura and the Pawlenty Adminisirations. Officials aze
quick to point out that the dire situation is the result of a change in the funding source for transit
approved during the Ventura Administration.
The obvious solution is to find a more reliable and predictable source for transit funding other
than the motor vehicle sates tax. Of course this solution runs contrary to the "no new taxes"
pledge, and is another consequence of budget impasses of recent years.
�' On personal note, I would like to point out that the proposed cuts include the elimiva.tion
of Route 350 (McKnight Road) the only bus service that serves my neighborhood in
Highwood Hills. The remaining alternative for me is to watk one and quarter miles to
catch a bus that will take twice as long to get me downtown. fihat is not a very attxactive
alternative for anyone.
Allen Lovejoy from PED is preparing a more in depth analysis of the potential effecTs of these
proposed cuts for the Planuing Commission on Apri16, 2005. In the meantime, it is important for
interested citizens to let Metro Council and Metro Transit officiats know how the proposed cuts
will affect them. There aze scheduled public hearings in the coming weeks. However, the only
two hearings scheduled during normal business hours aze for Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The
hearings in the suburbs are scheduled in the evening. Again it will make it disproportionately
more difficult foz Saint Paul and Minneapolis citizens to be heazd than their counterparts in the
suburbs and beyond.
A complete list of the scheduled cuts in service is available at: http://www.metrocouncil.or�/
vlannin�/trans�ortation/2005/routechanges.pdf. Council Reseazch also has hard copies for your
convenience. Please let me know if you have any further questions on this important topic.
(My thanks to Ken Sxnith for gathering much of the backgound material for this briefrng memo
while I was out of town the Iast two weeks.)

Nearly 70 percent of Metro Transit routes and Metropolitan Courtcil regional routes operating on
weekdays woutd be impacted by a proposed 1 � percent reduction of reguiar-route service. Some
routes would be eliminated entirely, while others would have specific reductions, such as cutting
weekend service ar reducing hours of service or the frequency of buses. Reductions were
determined based on ridership and comparing operaling cost to ridership revenue.
Unless otherwise noted, implementation would take place in September or December
2005.
