In order to narrow down the potential peers, the top 30-40 peers with the lowest likeness scores (values closest to zero) were initially selected. For those peers, an additional measure was added to the analysis: Vehicles in Maximum Service (an NTD measure). From the final list, the six systems with the closest likeness scores to GoLine were selected as peer systems for the analysis. Those six peer systems are listed in Table 3-3. A fixed route trend analysis was also conducted using GoLine's FY 2006 through FY 2010 NTD reports. Performance measures, including the percent change for each measure for the trend period, are grouped into categories and presented in tabular form (Tables 3-4 through 3-7). 3.2.1 Trend Area and Peer Group Graphs Figures 3-1 through 3-27 in this evaluation illustrate the selected operational and financial measures. There are two types of graphs displayed: trend area graphs and peer group bar graphs. The trend area graphs show GoLine's trends for each performance measure during the five-year period. The percent change over the five-year period is shown at the top right of each trend area graph. The peer group graphs show GoLine's performance in relation to the peer systems selected for the most recent validated year of data (FY 2010). The peer median of the entire group is displayed with a dark gray bar and a vertical black line. GoLine's values are shown with a light blue bar. All other systems are shown with gray bars. Figures 3-26 and 3-27 present a graphical representation of GoLine as compared to its peer group in all measures (showing the minimum, median, and maximum values for each performance measure). 3.2.2 Peer and Trend Tables Peer and trend tables show GoLine's values for each.,performance measure for FY 2006 through FY 2010 as well as the percent change over the trend period. They also show how GoLine's FY 2010 values compared to the peer median for each measure. ® Operational Measures: Service Characteristics Service characteristic measures are the basis for many of the other operational measures presented in the peer and trend analysis. Table 3-4 shows GoLine's five-year trend and the peer comparison for these measures. 3-5 k4W LTM Stanley Consultants—!
