68 MONTHLY PERFORMANCE REPORT March 2017 Performance Statistic Definitions Bus and Rail Accidents - An accident is a transit incident with passenger injuries that require immediate medical treatment away from the scene or a collision between a revenue vehicle and an object such that the amount of damage exceeds $1,000. Bus accidents (which include METROLift) and rail accidents are reported separately and in terms of the absolute number of accidents and the relative number of accidents per 100,000 vehicle miles. Rail accidents reflect collisions between METRORail and other vehicles, pedestrians, or bicyclists. This definition has been revised beginning in FY2011 to include pedestrian accidents. Major Security Incidents - The total Major Security Incidents is based on two industry standards: the FBI Uniform Crime Report and the National Transit Database (NTD) Report issued by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The eight (8) categories included are: homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and theft, motor vehicle theft and arson. This metric is reported both in terms of the absolute number of incidents and the number of incidents per 100,000 boardings. Major Security Incidents - METRO Properties - The total Major Security Incidents - METRO Properties is the number of incidents that occur at Park & Ride lots, Transit Centers, on-board buses and trains and on Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) platforms. This metric is reported both in terms of the absolute number of incidents and the number of incidents per 100,000 boardings. Complaint Contacts - Patrons may contact METRO s Customer Care Center to express dissatisfaction with METRO Operations. Contacts made via telephone and over the internet which result in a complaint record being generated in the Public Comment System are reported as the number of contacts per 100,000 boardings. Commendations - Patrons may contact METRO's Customer Care Center to recognize, compliment or praise a METRO employee or the METRO organization for exemplary work or performance. Contacts made via telephone, internet, or mail which result in a commendation record being generated in the Public Comment System are reported only on the basis of the absolute number of contacts received. Average Call Center Answer Delay - METRO is committed to providing customers with accurate, customer-friendly bus and service information in a timely manner. Customers may obtain bus information over METRO's website and by telephone using an interactive voice response system without speaking to a representative and with no customer wait time. For those customers who prefer to speak with a representative, METRO's goal is to answer their calls in 120 seconds or less. On-Time Performance (OTP) - A local bus is considered on-time if it does not leave early and is within a five (5) minute window after the scheduled departure time. A Park & Ride bus is considered on-time if it does not depart early (except in the morning when a bus can leave from a Park & Ride lot when full) and is within a five (5) minute window after the scheduled departure time, with measurements during peak hours. OTP is measured by the IVOMS system which calculates data to the second, and the five (5) minute window is defined as anything less than six (6) minutes. For METRORail, a train departing from the beginning of the line or arriving at the end of the line less than five (5) minutes after the scheduled time is considered on-time. For METROLift, a trip is considered on-time if the vehicle arrives within 30 minutes of the scheduled pick-up time and no later than the appointment time. Mean Distance Between Mechanical Failures (MDBF) - MDBF reflects any mechanical issue encountered during operation of the vehicle in revenue service that requires a maintenance action resulting from a mechanical failure. Mechanical failures include warranty and fleet defects but exclude accidents. Mean Distance Between Service Interruptions (MDBSI) - Measures total revenue service miles traveled by Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) between service interruptions that delay LRVs for one minute or more due to mechanical failures. Average Peak HOT Lane Speed - HOT Lane speed is based on an average of measurements conducted during the AM and PM high-volume commuter periods. METRO's 45 mph benchmark is based on Federal statute 23 USC 166: HOV facilities, which sets 45 mph as a minimal acceptable rate of speed. Section H Page 16

72 FUEL PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY REPORT "FUEL HEDGE" Mar-17

73 FUEL PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY REPORT Mar-17 (Office of Management and Budget 03/31/2017) The Fuel Price Risk Management Policy approved by the Board on February 16, 2006 requires monthly reports to the Finance/Audit Committee. Per the Finance Chair in 2009, the report is to be presented quarterly to the F/A committee. The Board has approved resolutions authorizing implementation of the Fuel Hedge Policy for FY2008 (October 2006). In July 2008 the Board amended the Fuel Risk Management Policy by eliminating the July 15 deadline for hedging the next fiscal years fuel requirement. Per the METRO Fuel Price Risk Management Policy, "METRO will minimize operating budget variance attributable to fuel price variability through physical forward contracts and/or financial contracts. METRO will develop and implement a plan which will provide fuel and energy commodity price certainty for up to 24 months of expected consumption such that the operating budget expense is assured with some potential to realize savings if prices decline." All hedges will be constructed to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines. This means that any financial hedge instrument must settle against, or directly link to, the index used as the pricing reference in the applicable procurement contract. For example, if METRO has a contract for delivery of fuel based on Platt's Gulf Coast Low-Sulfur Diesel Index, the financial hedge must reconcile to Platt's Gulf Coast Low-Sulfur Diesel Index. A. Diesel Fuel Hedges Also per METRO's Fuel Price Risk Management Policy, the Authority's Diesel Fuel Hedge Strategy Team, referred to here as "Team", makes hedging decisions on METRO's behalf. The Team is lead from the Procurement department's perspective, and is comprised of Operations, Finance, Procurement, and the Executive Office staff. The Team's objective is to strategically enter into agreements that cover 80% - 90% of projected fuel requirements. Actions and correspondence are typically conducted and documented via , and the Team convenes as needed. Upon agreement by vote, the Office of Management and Budget, and Procurement department work together to initiate and execute Financial Hedge Swap Agreements. For FY2017 nine hedges totaling 9.996M gallons were executed at an average price of $ For FY2018, eight hedges totaling M gallons at an average price of $ were executed. As of March 31, 2017, one hedge totaling 0.840M gallons at an average price of $ has been executed for FY2019. (Hedge prices are market price only, not including transportation, additive and taxes). See Attachment A for hedge details. METRO currently has chosen Merrill Lynch Commodities Inc., and Goldman, Sachs & Co. to bid financial hedges. A comparison of the FY2017 hedged gallons, actual usage and hedge collections is outlined in Attachment B. Hedge payments fiscal year to date total $2.176M.

74 B. 5 Year Contract for Electricity In May 2015 the Board authorized the President and CEO to execute and deliver a contract for electricity provider services for an amount not-to-exceed $26,491,835, with a 25% energy component and an option to participate in demand response services. The contract was awarded in June 2015 to GDF SUEZ Energy Resources NA Inc. (Suez) to supply electricity for 5 years beginning June 2015 to June The contract rate of $ per kilowatt hour was fixed for the term of contract while the Transmission and Distribution (TDSP) charges may vary depending on the Texas Utilities Commission policies. This contract hedges METRO's electricity requirements for 5 years, providing budget certainty on price in accord with the Board's Fuel Price Risk Management Policy adopted February 2006.

152 Exhibit A SCOPE OF REPLANTING East End Green Rail Line Landscape Planting Proposal Date: February 2, 2017 METRORAIL Green Line Omar Lopez Director Facilities Maintenance / Public Facilities Office: Fax: ol01@ridemetro.org Proposal: The Greater East End Management District proposes to replant 5 METRO Rail landscaped medians on the East End Green Rail Line. These areas are located at 3400, 3600, , 5400 and 6900 blocks of Harrisburg Blvd. Currently METRO has removed most vegetation and has been removing all weeds to prep for replanting. We are proposing to add a mixture of Double Knockout Roses and Oleanders down the center and using Wedelia or New Gold Lantana plants as ground cover. All these plants do well in the Houston climate and are primarily low maintenance. The combination of colors will make the medians stand out with color. These plants are also used throughout the community and will tie well with other local projects. Problem: The newly constructed MERO Rail line is a welcome asset to the East End community. It brings people to and from work, visitors to the neighborhood, and an opportunity for development. However, the need for maintenance of the landscaped medians along the line makes the area appear neglected and unsafe. This may deter residents from feeling pride in their community and discourage visitors from coming to the East End.

153 METRO Rail landscaped medians during the 2015 summer. Solution: The Greater East End Management District s recommendation for this problem is to replant these esplanades with plant material that is low maintenance, utilize plants that do well in Houston climate and are used throughout the community. The District has a team of dedicated employees that currently provide maintenance to parks and landscaped areas in the East End and have the experience in maintaining public areas. This team currently maintains the Harrisburg underpass, Jenkins Garden, Brown Foundation Plaza and the East End Esplanade. We are always in the area and have a commitment to neighborhood to do our best to upkeep the area. Rail Line Medians Plant Replacement: We are proposing to landscape the medians with the use of Double Knockout Roses and Oleanders down the center and surrounding it with either Wedelia or New Gold Lantana plants as ground cover. Outlined below is list of material being proposed for the project. Mixture of 1,000 Double Knock Out Roses and Oleanders Mixture of 5,800 Wedelia and New Gold Lantana. 109 Cubic Yard of Rose and Azalea Soil 109 Cubic Yards of Hardwood Mulch 400 pound or natural organic fertilizer

154 Rendering of view looking toward downtown with Knockout Rose and Wedelia. Scope: Contractor will furnish all supervision, labor, material, equipment, and transportation required to do the replanting of the 5 landscaped medians. We estimate the job will take 6 weeks to complete. METRO will grant contractor access to the property and irrigation controllers. Contractor will make sure all irrigation is working properly prior to commencing work. Pricing Summary: Total Project Pricing Plant Material Cost & Labor $57, Bed Prep Material & Labor $18, Mobilization and Storage $2, Flaggers $5, Contingency $5, Total Project Cost $90, Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.

Maintenance will be scheduled regularly as outlined in this proposal. Problem: The newly constructed MERO Rail line is a welcome asset to the East End community. It brings people to and from work, visitors to the neighborhood, and an opportunity for development. However, the need for maintenance of the landscaped medians along the line makes the area appear neglected and unsafe. This may deter residents from feeling pride in their community and discourage visitors from coming to the East End.

Solution: The Greater East End Management District s recommendation for this problem is to provide a regular maintenance schedule so that the medians along the line look welcoming, safe, clean, and green. The regular schedule means removing weeds, ant control, checking irrigation, fertilizing, trimming and removing litter. The District has a team of dedicated employees that currently provide maintenance to parks and landscaped areas in the East End and have the experience to maintain public medians.
