SUBJECT: MOTION BY FASANA (AUTOMATED PUBLIC TOILETS)
Preamble

Automated Public Toilets
The new El Monte Station opened for revenue service in October 2012, and services as an iconic, efficient, and sustainable transit station for over 30,000 daily riders. As part of the original station construction, an automated public toilet (APT) consisting of two unisex stalls was installed in the lower concourse area for usage by our customers. It has come to our attention through feedback from constituents that although the APT is performing well and has been well-maintained, the frequency of usage has lead to long lines, reportedly as long as 10 minutes, during the peak morning and evening rush hours.
Title
MOTION by Fasana that staff report back to the System Safety, Security and Operations Committee in 60 days with the following information:
A. Usage data of the current APT system, including the average wait during peak times and the total daily usage;
B. How to best determine the restroom usage and capacity needs, both near and long term;
C. The feasibility of adding additional restrooms at the station either via APT’s, stand-alone restrooms, retail opportunities, or other ideas;
D. Cost estimates for addition of additional restrooms and potential locations, and;
E. Timelines for installing additional restrooms.
