MARCH 20, 2019
NEW BUSINESS
1. INTRODUCE AND WELCOME NEW BOARD MEMBER PHILIP MARSHALL
2. EVALUATION OF OVERALL RIDERSHIP SINCE THE FARE INCREASE
Ridership for January and February 2019 has decreased from what it had been in
January and February 2018. This January and February there were several days that
school was cancelled due to snow or frigid temperatures which caused a decrease
in ridership. We were expecting an initial decrease in ridership after the fare
increase before ridership rises to previous levels however; more time will be
needed to evaluate ridership trends. See attachment.

Occasionally we receive questions about our snow removal policy. See attachment.

GO Transit Snow Removal Policy
During snow and ice events, GO TRANSIT relies on the following policy by location to
ensure the best service for customers and employees.
Sidewalks: As indicated in the Municipal Code, property owners are required to remove
the snow and ice from the sidewalk, including curb ramp, located adjacent to their
premises within twenty-four hours following cessation of a snowfall or other
precipitation. Any customer concerns about sidewalks received by GO TRANSIT are
forwarded to Public Works. Public Works enforces the Municipal Code regarding snow
and ice removal from sidewalks. See City of Oshkosh Municipal Code Section 25-68 and
25-69.
Bus Stop Signs: GO TRANSIT has roughly 230 bus stop signs in the City of Oshkosh.
GO TRANSIT does not remove snow from all bus stops. When stop signs and adjacent
terraces are obstructed by snow, GO TRANSIT bus drivers adjust the pick-up/drop-off
point to the nearest safe location, such as a driveway or sidewalk. In most cases, this
adjustment is within a bus length from the bus stop sign. Occasionally, customers will
stand atop the snow bank near the sign while waiting for bus. Bus operators are trained to
stop short of the passenger in these situations and motion them to walk back to the bus.
The operator will then identify a more appropriate location for them to board in the
future.
Bus Shelters and Benches: GO TRANSIT shelters and benches are located on private and
public property throughout the City. The private property locations are maintained by the
property owner. However, in a few cases, GO TRANSIT maintenance staff provides
snow removal assistance as needed. The public property locations are maintained by GO
TRANSIT maintenance staff.
Snow removal by GO TRANSIT at bus shelters and benches is primarily done by the
service technician and operator mechanic positions. When GO TRANSIT's staff
resources are limited, GO TRANSIT employs a contractor to remove snow from a list of
shelters and benches. This list is maintained by the maintenance supervisor.
Transit Center: Snow removal at GO TRANSIT's Transit Center (I 10 Pearl Street) is
completed by GO TRANSIT maintenance staff.
dnrinistraton & Maintenance Facility: Snow removal at GO TRANSIT's office and
maintenance building grounds is completed by a combination of Transportation
Department staff (Transit, Electric, and Sign Divisions).
