The District and TAMU Bus Operations have a long history of coordination dating back to 1991. They have collaborated on numerous projects including sharing radio frequencies, allowing affiliates to ride each other's buses, coordinating stops and shelters, procuring buses for each other, using the same rider tracking system, and discussing further route coordination to eliminate duplicates and increase efficiency. They will continue working together to coordinate their two systems into a seamless regional transit network.

1. The District & TAMU Bus Operations
Transit Initiatives
The District and TAMU Bus Operations have a long standing history of coordinating the two
systems that date back to 1991 when The District installed passenger shelters in the two
cities. At that time the two systems worked together to create shared stops in the City of
College Station.
Since that time the two systems have cooperated on numerous projects which include but are
not limited to:
1. TAMU allows The District to utilize their radio tower and their radio frequency;
2. TAMU allows affiliates to ride TAMU buses, which includes Blinn students.
3. TAMU and The District continue to work together to coordinate stops and shelter
locations;
4. The District sought and received a Congressional earmark in 1996 to procure small buses
for TAMU which are in use today;
5. The two systems over the past 2 years have began to use the same bus and rider tracking
system on all buses (Mentor);
6. Two years ago, The District took over all ADA paratransit operations from TAMU. Since
that time, TAMU has taken back the service after central funds were provided for faculty
and staff ridership;

2. 7. Effective September 1, 2011 The District began allowing all TAMU students to ride BTD
buses without charge upon showing their student ID;
8. Two years ago TAMU began to report all of their performance and ridership data to The
District so it could be reflected in the National Transit Database each year so we could
demonstrate to FTA that the two cities are a high transit use location;
9. TAMU agreed to serve on The District’s Parking board which is responsible for establishing
parking rates for the new Kelly Terminal and Garage;
10. Over the past summer The District provided summer employment opportunities to
TAMU drivers during the summer break.
The two systems are continually studying ways in which we could coordinate bus routes in the
two systems in order to eliminate any duplicate bus routes or just makes routes more
efficient. For example a project that has been discussed is for The District taking responsibility
for TAMU routes in far south College Station so TAMU could use their resources closer to the
campus where the density shows a greater need for more service. The District would then
establish a shared transfer stop where the patrons from S. College Station could transfer to a
TAMU bus for the final leg of their trip if it was the campus.
The District and TAMU Bus Operations will continue to work to coordinate the two systems
into a seamless mobility program serving the two cities and Brazos County always keeping in
mind the funding parameters that are placed on each system by their respective funding
partners.
