PHILLIPS CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS AND THE CREATIVE VILLAGE A 68-ACRE MIXED-USE TRANSIT ORIENTED URBAN INFILL NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY DRIVES CONNECTIVITY A CONTINUING CHALLENGE FOR DOWNTOWN ORLANDO AND LYNX. THESE BUSES WILL SERVE THE CORE DOWNTOWN WITH CONNECTIVITY TO SUNRAIL AND THE LYNX CENTRAL STATION A PRIMARY HUB FOR 31 ROUTES (46%) REGION-WIDE. THE IMPORTANCE OF CONNECTIVITY AND THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN ALIGNS WITH THE LYNX INTENT TO MODERNIZE LYMMO BUSES TO ELECTRIC AND TO FUTURE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. BECAUSE OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON CONNECTIVITY THE DEMANDS FOR MORE AND BETTER TRANSIT OPTIONS IS INEVITABLE. FOR THE CURRENT LYMMO BRT INVESTMENTS TO BE A VIABLE PREFERRED TRANSIT OPTION IT IS INEVITABLE THAT RESOURCES BE LEVERAGED FOR REPLACEMENT BUSES TO ACHIEVE SGR AND BE MORE COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS.THIS FUNDING REQUEST WILL COMPLETE THE ZERO ON EMISSION (ZONE) BEB REPLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE LYMMO BRT DOWNTOWN ORLANDO CIRCULATOR. THE BEBS IN OUR FLEET MANAGEMENT PLAN WILL ULTIMATELY PROVIDE THE TESTING GROUND FOR THE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE MOBILITY INITIATIVE (AVMI) THAT LYNX IS SPEARHEADING FOR THE REGION. THE BUSES TO BE REPLACED PERFORM POORLY AND ARE PROVEN TO BE INADEQUATE TO MEET SERVICE DEMANDS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE SGR DEFICIENT BUSES WILL ALLOW INFRASTRUCTURE READINESS FOR FUTURE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY WHICH ALIGNS WITH THE REGIONAL PARTNERS GOALS AND SUPPORTS THE ACCELERATING INNOVATIVE MOBILITY (AIM) INITIATIVE.WITH SUPPORT OF REGIONAL PARTNERS LYNX INTENDS TO REPLACE SIX (6) GILLIG DIESEL BUSES WHICH ARE AVERAGING 662000 MILES AND ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING INCREASED FAILURES. THESE BUSES WERE RATED 2.40 (MARGINAL) IN THE LYNX 2017 ASSET CONDITION ASSESSMENT. CURRENTLY THEY ARE RATED 1 (POOR) AND ARE PAST DUE FOR REPLACEMENT. BY THE TIME THE BUSES ARE ACTUALLY REMOVED FROM SERVICE FY22 AT THE EARLIEST BUSES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIR SERVICE RELIABILITY COMPROMISE SAFETY AND RESULT IN INCREASED OPERATING COSTS. THIS IS A ONE-TIME NEED THAT CANNOT REASONABLY BE FUNDED FROM FTA FORMULA ALLOCATIONS STATE AND LOCAL SOURCES. WITHOUT THIS GRANT LYNX WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTAIN SGR TARGETS FOR REPLACEMENT AND ADDRESS A CRITICAL NEED FOR ELECTRIC BUSES FOR LYMMO SERVICE A PREMIER TRANSIT LEVERAGING THE TRANSFORMATION AND REVITALIZATION PROJECTS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. THE LYNX FLEET WILL REMAIN WITHIN THE 20% PEAK SPARE RATIO CRITERIA AS THESE BUSES WILL REPLACE EXISTING BUSES.REPLACEMENT BUSES WILL PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY TO SOUTH PARRAMORE ORLANDOS QUALIFIED OPPORTUNITY ZONE 12095010500 NOW ANCHORED INTO THE CITYS ENTERTAINMENT SPORTS DISTRICT AND OTHER MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS. A LYMMO BRT SERVICE IN SGR WILL INCREASE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY ON THE SYSTEM AFFORDING PARRAMORE RESIDENTS CONVENIENT ACCESS TO SUNRAIL AND TRANSFERS TO 31 MAJOR LYNX ROUTES. LYMMO BRT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO PARRAMORE EVOLVING AS A FOCUS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR JOB CREATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH.LYNX HAS SELECTED THE OUC WILL PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT IN THE INSTALLATION FOR THE CHARGERS.

| APPLICATION PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS AWARD IS TO SUPPORT THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. THE IMPROVEMENTS BRING THESE BUS STOPS INTO FULL ADA COMPLIANCE AND PROVIDE VARIOUS LEVELS OF PASSENGER AMENITIES BASED ON RIDERSHIP AT THAT PARTICULAR STOP. HAVING FULLY ACCESSIBLE BUS STOPS ENHANCES TRANSPORTATION IN OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING GREATER ACCESS TO EVERYONE USING OUR SYSTEM.; ACTIVITIES PERFORMED: FUNDS WILL BE USED TO DESIGN BUS STOPS TO BE COMPLIANT WITH ADA REQUIREMENTS. DESIGNS WILL BE BASED ON RIDERSHIP IN THE AREA TO ALLOW FOR ACCOMMODATIONS FOR CERTAIN PASSENGER AMENITIES AT EACH LOCATION SUCH AS BENCHES SOLAR POWER LIGHTS OR BUS SHELTERS. CONNECT TRANSITS DESIGN FIRM WILL COORDINATE WITH BOTH MUNICIPALITIES TO ENSURE BUS STOP IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ALIGN WITH PLANNED SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE TO OVERALL ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.AFTER DESIGN THE FUNDING WILL ALSO SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF BUS STOPS. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE DEMOLITION OF EXISTING CONCRETE EXCAVATION OF OLD MATERIAL AND NECESSARY DIRT FORMING / POURING OF NEW CONCRETE AND REPAIR OF DISTURBED LANDSCAPING.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THIS FUNDING WILL HELP CONNECT TRANSIT ACHIEVE OUR GOAL OF IMPROVING ALL BUS STOPS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY TO BE SURE THEY HAVE PROPER ADA SPECIFICATIONS TO HELP IMPROVE THE OVERALL ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR SYSTEM. THE PRIMARY BENEFICIARY OF THIS PROJECT IS CUSTOMERS THAT MUST UTILIZE ANY TYPE OF MOBILITY DEVICE TO ACCESS OUR BUSES. HAVING FULLY ACCESSIBLE CONCRETE PADS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY WILL MAKE BOARDING AND ALIGHTING BUSES MUCH EASIER. IN ADDITION ALL PASSENGERS WILL BENEFIT FROM IMPROVED BUS STOPS SOME OF WHICH WILL INCLUDE ADDITIONAL AMENITIES SUCH AS BENCHES AND SHELTERS.

MANY OF OUR BUS STOPS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY ARE IN AREAS THAT DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS OR ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEREFORE ARE NOT IDEAL LOCATIONS FOR BUS STOPS. IN ORDER TO SERVE THOSE AREAS WITH BUS ROUTES CONNECT TRANSIT HAS HAD TO PUT STOPS IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY EASY TO ACCESS. THE UPGRADED STOPS WILL PROVIDE A CONCRETE CONNECTION TO THE NEAREST SIDEWALK OR HARD SURFACE WITH ADA COMPLIANT DESIGNS AND CONSIDERATIONS.

THE INTERSECTION OF ARCADIA AND PROSPECT DIRECTLY ABUTS BOTH GLEN OAK PARK AND THIS RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE CITY OF PEORIA PLANS TO IMPROVE THE INTERSECTION OF ARCADIA AND PROSPECT BY ADDING BUMP OUTS A CENTER REFUGE ISLAND AND RAPID FLASHING BEACONS. THERE IS A BUS STOP AT THIS INTERSECTION.DESIGN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THESE CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS SO THIS FY20 FUNDING WOULD PAY FOR THIS PROJECT. NOTE THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT IS COVERED BY PREVIOUSLY OBLIGATED GRANTS WHICH WILL INSTEAD BE USED TO FOCUS ON THIS INTERSECTION (FYS 2013 AND 2016; PROJECT NUMBERS IL-16-X012 AND IL-2018-035-01 RESPECTIVELY). THE INITIAL LOCATION OF THESE PREVIOUSLY OBLIGATED FUNDS IS NO LONGER VIABLE AFTER IDOT HAS REQUESTED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LARGE RETAINING WALL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR TOO COSTLY FOR THE FUNDS TO COVER. THIS NEW LOCATION IS A MORE VIABLE OPTION. PLEASE NOTE THAT NEPA RE-EVALUATIONS WILL BE REQUESTED TO DETERMINE IF THE PREVIOUS DETERMINATIONS MADE FOR THE ABOVE-MENTIONED GRANTS ARE STILL VALID BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN THIS NEW LOCATION.PURPOSE:GPMTD: THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE THE MOBILITY OF SENIORS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES IN WASHINGTON ILLINOIS. PEORIA: THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE THE SAFETY AROUND THIS INTERSECTION NEAR A BUS STOP TO ENSURE THAT TRANSIT RIDERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH DISABILITIES AND OLDER INDIVIDUALS WILL FEEL MORE SECURE AS THEY NAVIGATE THE BUS STOP AREA AND THE INTERSECTION ITSELF.
