6. BUS & BUS STOP ADVERTISING
Mr. Link announced that this agenda item was initiated by a Council Item of Special Interest, and
that Council provided consensus for staff to issue a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit
statements of interest from vendors. Mr. Link informed the CTOC that staff will present responses
to the RFI to Council within the next few weeks.
Mr. Link gave a presentation, which included the following:
Upcoming Council Discussions on the project:
. RFI responses
. Determination whether Glendale should move forward with a transit advertising program
. If moving forward, determine the best option to implement
Advertising Media Categories
. Static — posters in a display case (most common)
. Bus advertising — bus wrap
. Digital & LED — digital type display
. Audio — recorded message at shelters or on buses (least common)
City Comparisons
. Data comparing Chandler, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix for the following:
o Number of bus stops
o Contract terms
o Maintenance
o Type of advertising used: digital, static, audio, bus wraps
o Cooperative contract
o Annual revenue
. Advertising Examples
*Advertising Options
. Staff Recommendation - implement static advertising program at bus stops
. Table digital advertising at stops due to infrastructure costs and low return on
investment
. Forego advertising on buses for now, revisit at a later date
Chair Sund inquired as to how many buses were in the fleet. Mr. Link replied that there were 29
buses in Glendale's fleet pool: twenty Dial -A -Ride and nine GUS buses.
Chair Sund asked if passengers could see through the wrap. Mr. Link stated that Valley Metro
trains are fully wrapped and they are now looking at doing only half wrap for security purposes.
Vice Chair Marsh asked if the city would make money on this program. Mr. Link reported that the
city expects to receive 55% of net sales, and although it would not be a large moneymaker, it
would still be a revenue generator. Vice Chair Marsh asked if the cost was low for staff to run the
program. Mr. Link replied in the positive.
Mr. Link stated that the program will require addressing some existing infrastructure needs to
implement the project, such as pouring additional concrete pads for the kiosks. Mr. Link indicated
that the advertising vendor can be tasked with constructing the required infrastructure; however,
using city staff to perform tasks where possible is likely more efficient and cost-effective. Mr. Link
stated that the lighting of the kiosk was important as it sold more ad space and noted much of the
lighting in similar application is now solar derived.
Vice Chair Marsh inquired about the number of bus stops in Glendale. Mr. Link stated that there
were 595 total bus stops, of which 189 were bus stops with shelters. Mr. Link stated that the
upfront costs for the program included adding the ad panels and the concrete slabs.
Commissioner Floyd cautioned that the program must be managed properly to stay within the
scope. Mr. Link explained that most contracts have a minimum guarantee after an analysis is
conducted by the vendor. Vice Chair Marsh asked who would monitor the program. Mr. Link
replied that the contract would be monitored by Glendale Transportation Department staff
ACTION BY CTOC: Motion to support staff's recommendation to implement the Static
Advertising Program at Glendale Bus Stops.

7. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT & RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM UPDATE
Mr. Gurrola gave an update on the following:
. FY2022 Pavement Management and Reconstruction Program (PMP) Activity
. Bridge Repair Program
. Demonstration of the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) InfoBridge portal
Commissioner Floyd asked if InfoBridge includes a report that shows any conditional failings. Mr.
Gurrola replied in the positive. Commissioner Floyd asked if there is a condition report pulled
from the portal by jurisdiction that would show all Glendale bridges sorted by condition. Mr.
Gurrola is coordinating with USDOT staff to determine the reporting opportunities offered through
the InfoBridge portal.
Vice Chair Marsh asked if staff prepares an annual or multi-year report showing data on all of
Glendale's bridges. He suggested more of a report card for the public so that the public would
know which bridges were in good condition or not. Mr. Gurrola demonstrated how to query down
to the county level to make a priority list.
Mr. Gurrola announced that normally the department has $250,000 a year for bridge repairs,
which equates to repairing approximately three bridges annually. Vice Chair Marsh inquired how
staff decided which bridges to repair. Mr. Gurrola noted that staff prioritizes based multiple
factors including condition issues. He relayed that there were no City bridges with safety issues at
this time and stressed the need to remain vigilant and address the worst issues first.
The agenda item was concluded.
