Methodology
Agency planning estimate scored against two disclosed vacancy scenarios.
Limitations
Two staffing scenarios use different vacancy assumptions.
Cited passage
Scenario A fills all 4 night slots at 6% vacancy; Scenario B leaves 2 slots open at 14% vacancy.
The current record does not support a reliable estimate of how many missed work shifts are caused by transit gaps. WorkingPolicy keeps the claim unresolved and recommends a privacy-limited rider survey.
Evidence gaps — stated plainly
What the record still cannot support, and what each gap blocks.
Gap 1 — Night-driver volunteer roster (blocks Implementation §7 staffing)
The 12% night differential is documented, but nobody has confirmed enough drivers will volunteer for four night shifts. The disputed operator availability estimate cannot settle staffing either way.
Gap 2 — Current fare-recovery costs (blocks Cost §6 comparison)
Night-fare cost coverage figures predate the current fuel contract, so the peer-county cost comparison in this record may not hold.
