5 Current Parking Operations Overview MBTA parking is directly involved with 108 of the 140 facilities on the system 140 parking facilities located on the transit system are related to the MBTA 100 facilities are owned and fully controlled by the MBTA 8 facilities are partially controlled by the MBTA and a partner (town or RTA) Facilities are operated by the local partner via an operating and revenue share agreement 32 facilities are neither operated by nor generate parking revenue for the MBTA Controlled and owned by cities and towns or are part of station development deals 5

6 Current Parking Operations Overview LAZ Parking Currently Operates all Four Parking Regions LAZ covers all 4 parking regions: 100 facilities with 117 employees 5 year contract through Jan 1, 2018, with 1 year optional extension Can terminate at convenience with 30 day notice, for any reason Current responsibilities: parking operations, customer service, facility cleaning and basic maintenance, parking enforcement, as well as landscaping and snow plowing Management Fee: $9.1M/year excluding reimbursable expenses Flat administrative fee contract with no revenue share 6

Explore best in class revenue sharing models and service level agreements with vendors 2. Examine innovative services that would improve customer experience 3. Increase revenue with new technology enhancements 4. Understand potential public-private partnership opportunities 5. Consider the full customer journey parking through commute and return trip Parking RFI responses due May 16 th 7

8 Parking Capital Needs Capital Investment Questions The Parking team is actively investigating potential capital investment opportunities and is focused on: What are the capital needs of the MBTA s current assets? Which parking assets should be expanded based on their ROI profile? Which parking assets need to be completely rebuilt or replaced? Could third party partnerships provide capital funding? How should parking assets be incorporated into broader Real Estate opportunities? 8

9 Parking Capital Needs Immediate Capital Investment Needs Significant short-term capital investments are needed at MBTA parking facilities over the next 5 years to maintain minimum safety and operational standards. Lynn Garage FY16 YTD Gross Parking Revenue - $284k Short-term Capital Investment Required to Maintain Operational Effectiveness - $46M South Shore Parking Garages (Braintree, Quincy Adams, Quincy Center*) FY16 YTD Gross Parking Revenue $5.7M Short-term Capital Investment Required to Maintain Operational Effectiveness - $86M Alewife Garage FY16 YTD Gross Parking Revenue $4.3M Short-term Capital Investment Required to Maintain Operational Effectiveness - $8M Route 128 Garage FY16 YTD Gross Parking Revenue $3.8M Short-term Capital Investment Required to Maintain Operational Effectiveness - $10M Total Short-Term Capital Investment: $150 Million * Quincy Center closed in July 2012 due to structural & safety concerns; investment would be to maintain structural stability.

10 Current Utilization Profile Results of the MBTA Utilization Study Utilization Best Practice: Greater than 85% of capacity: perceived as effectively full or over capacity Between 60% and 85% of capacity: considered within the target range of efficient operation Below 60% of capacity: considered under utilized Current MBTA Utilization: 26 facilities were consistently filled to 95% capacity or more 21 facilities were operating daily at 85% to 94% of total capacity 27 facilities were operating at 60%-84% of total capacity 26 facilities were operating below 60% capacity Focus on Improving Utilization: Encourages ridership, generates additional revenue, reduces congestion and pollution Improves the rate of return on individual under performing assets Distributing utilization creates capacity in high-demand lots, encourages discretionary ridership, and improves the ROI for the whole system 10
