| Abstract | This report is a follow-up of the initial evaluation of LYMMO conducted in 2003. Average daily ridership on LYMMO has fallen three years in a row since 2010, and 2012 ridership was lower than the opening year ridership. The drop in ridership is partially attributable to a 15 percent loss in jobs located within ¼ mile of LYMMO between 2002 and 2010. LYMMO, nevertheless, continues to rank as one of LYNX Transit’s top five routes. It has also outperformed several rail streetcar systems in the U.S. in annual passenger trips and cost per trip. LYMMO continues to be rated highly by passengers, scoring a 4.5 out of 5 in overall customer satisfaction. Fifteen percent of downtown Orlando employers said in a survey that LYMMO was a factor in their decision to remain downtown. A majority agreed that LYMMO contributed to the economic development of downtown, made downtown a more attractive place to live and work, and improved mobility in downtown. |
