Many agencies do not <br />update this figure on an annual basis and, therefore, it remains unchanged over the trend <br />period. GoLine, however, did report an adjusted service area population several times <br />over the trend period representing an increase of approximately 33 percent. Although <br />transit is typically more effective and efficient in denser areas, the decrease (50%) in <br />GoLine's service area density was related primarily to changes in the way service area <br />size was reported (an increase from 66 square miles in 2006 to 175 miles in 2007 and <br />subsequent years). Service area density had been reported based on the fixed route <br />service area at the time versus the entire area served by paratransit. The change also <br />impacted the service area population reported in Table 3-4. <br />Average speed is calculated by dividing the number of revenue miles of service by the <br />number of revenue hours of service. That number generally reflects the amount of <br />roadway congestion, but may also reflect the amount of urban versus rural service as well <br />as the number of regular routes versus limited stop or express routes. A fixed route <br />system that serves less dense areas and provides a greater percentage of express service <br />will have a higher average speed. GoLine's trend was positive with an increase in <br />average speed of 36 percent with the majority of the change occurring in fiscal year 2010. <br />GoLine was slightly below (7.2%) the peer median. <br />WV <br />km Stanley Consuhants -i <br />
