In response to requests, we've developed a two and one-half day course in route design, service development, service monitoring, scheduling, and runcutting. This course is available to come to your property. You may wish to become a host property, reducing individual property expense by inviting attendees from surrounding properties. Please contact Arthur Gaudet by email, runcutter@runcutter.com, or by phone at 972-466-4611 to register, or to request more information.
While we normally present the course at your location, this will provide folks an opportunity for folks attending the APTA conference to take the course, if there haven't been chances in your area. Contact me at 972-466-4611, or email at runcutter@runcutter.com to register. The course fee is $800.00 (US). Please note, this course is in no way connected to the APTA conference or APTA itself. The presentation timing is to provide you an opportunity to save travel dollars.
The Runcutter Course is a two and one-half to three-day, on-site course presenting: Bus Route Design; Scheduling; Service Monitoring and Evaluation Vehicle Optimization; and Runcutting - Preparing Operator Work Schedules.
The Course leads attendees through the service development, analysis, and modification process - leading through efficient vehicle utilization to development of the runcut. In the scheduling process, no function exists independently. A course in runcutting alone, without considering service design, is acourse in "making the best of a bad situation." This course, then, addresses the entire scheduling process. Participants leave with an understanding of the entire process. Through hands-on exercises, they will have performed vehicle blocking, created work runs, and rostered the runs - essentially conducting a manual runcut. We firmly believe that, to achieve the best results - with or without scheduling software, the scheduler must understand how to do the entire process manually. Attendees receive a course manual, as well as a CD-ROM containing pertinent Excel sample files. The Course Manual - Table of Contents includes: Service Design Concepts Fixed Route Scheduling Service Monitoring and Analysis General Personnel Issues (Including how to calculate Extra Board requirements) Run Cutting Concepts Cutting Blocks, Creating Work Runs Rostering Glossary of Transit Terms
