Funding
ABSTRACT
On November 14, 1994, at the request of Councilmember Emery, the City Council directed
staff to prepare a report on Poway's transit services, ridership, and Transportation
Development Act (TDA} funding. Staff is recommending that the City Council review the
report and authorize funding the current level of transit services in FY 95-96.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is not subject to CEQA review.
FISCAL IMPACT
The transit services in FY 95-96 will exceed Poway's TDA allocation and require an
appropriation of approximately $11,495 from the City's Unallocated Reserve of $20,390.
If the City Council authorizes funding in FY 95-96 for transit capital projects
{American with Disabilities Act [ADA] bus stop improvements and a countywide radio
network), it will require an allocation of approximately $18,000 from the City's TDA
Capital Reserve Fund. The City's Capital Reserve Fund currently totals $1,301,274.
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND CORRESPONDENCE
Additional notification sent to County Transit staff: Larry Watt, Ken Karnes, and Andy
Trujillo.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the report and authorize funding the
current level of transit services in FY 1995-96, and authorize funding for the transit
capital projects {ADA bus stop improvements and countywide radio network)in FY 95-96.

SUBJECT: Status of Poway Transit Services, Ridership, and
Transportation Development Act Funding
BACKGROUND
The funding to operate Poway transit services is a combination of passenger
fare revenues and Transportation Development Act {TDA) funds. The TDA funds
are a portion of the state sales tax monies. Currently, passenger fare
revenues contribute approximately 30 percent and the TDA funds provide the
remaining 70 percent of the revenues required to operate Poway transit
services.
The TDA sales tax revenues available to operate Poway's transit services are
split into two funds. Article 4.0 funding is used to provide transit services
to the general public, and Article 4.5 funding is limited to providing
complementary paratransit services to seniors and disabled persons under the
Americans with Disabilities Act {ADA).
Poway receives its own allocation of general public Article 4.0 funds based on
a population formula administered by the San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG}. The Article 4.5 funds, however, are regional funds distributed
among the five San Diego County operators of senior and disabled services.
The San Diego County Transit System (CTS) currently is the operator of the
Dial-A-Ride, which serves senior and disabled persons in Poway and the City of
San Diego communities of Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Sabre Springs,
and Carmel Mountain Ranch.

According to the SANDAG preliminary estimate of TDA funds available for FY
1995-96, Poway should receive approximately $820,000 in Article 4.0 funds.
Assuming that Poway's regional transit service assessment remains at
approximately $40,000, the balance of the Article 4.0 {which Poway uses to
operate the local routes 844 and 845, commuter express route 820, and the
airporter service) should be up slightly from the current year's funding
{$780,000 up from $756,876). It is significant to note that the $780,000
balance projected for FY 95-96, although three percent higher than the current
year, continues to be 20 percent lower than the $930,000 allocation received
four years ago in FY 91-92. This continued decrease in sales tax revenue is
the result of the continued sluggish economy in the country.
Poway must pay an assessment to Metropolitan Transportation Development Board
{MTDB} for regional transit services. Under the formula used in previous
years, Poway's assessment would be approximately $40,000 {five percent}. Due
to unfunded regional bus and trolley costs projected in FY 95-96, MTDB,
through the Regional Transit Services Advisory Committee, is reviewing the
assessment amount each city and the county is currently charged.
The Regional Transit Services Advisory Committee, of which Poway is a member,
may recommend modifications to increase the regional assessments for some
jurisdictions. It is unlikely that the committee will recommend an increase
in Poway's five percent regional assessment. However, if Poway's regional
assessment increases above five percent, it will cause a reduction in the
amount of TDA funding available for various City transit services and future
capital projects.
The City Council annually allocates the Article 4.0 TDA funds for public
transit operations and capital projects. Current year allocations and prior
year reserves are available for either operating or capital purposes. In the
Spring of 1994, the City Council directed that nearly all of Poway's FY 93-94
TDA balance after payment of the five percent regional assessment {$755,337 of
$756,876} be used for local transit operations.
The Council also appropriated $86,000 in TDA funds out of prior year capital
reserves to fund a proposed bus stop turnout and transit shelter. This
facility will be located on the east side of Midland Road just north of Poway
Road. Currently under design, the project should be complete this fiscal
year.
Additionally, the Council authorized a TDA Capital Reserve claim of $104,364
out of prior year reserves. This reserve claim was broken down as follows:
· $10,000 to improve bus stops. Future improvements may include trash
receptacles, call boxes, bus stop shelters, additional information
signage, and installation of bus stop pads to meet ADA standards for
disabled passengers.
· $8,000 as the first of three years' contributions toward a Capital
Reserve Account to fund new radio communications equipment compatible
with the future countywide 800 band network.
· $86,364 to be added to the existing Poway Transit Center Capital Reserve
Account. (The account increased from $1,025,910 to $1,112,274.

According to SANDAG, Poway's prior year unallocated reserve currently is
$20,390. The unallocated reserve and capital reserve funds are estimated at
$1,321,664. At this time last year, Poway's reserve balance was $1,216,274.
This reserve balance includes an estimate of FY 93-94 refund monies. SANDAG's
auditors have not finished their accounting for the FY 93-94 TDA expenditures.
The refund will represent the difference between Poway's prior year TDA claim
and the auditor's accounting of what was actually spent. The FY 92-93 refund
was $123,462. Staff anticipates that the FY 93-94 refund will be
approximately $85,000. The proposed capital expenditures and account balances
are shown in Attachment A.
The TDA Article 4.5 funds are allocated differently than the Article 4.0
funds. Article 4.5 funds are divided among the five operators of senior and
disabled transit services within the region based on a regional formula. This
formula takes into account population, land area and historical spending
levels among the various operators.
As a result of the federally-mandated ADA requirements, SANDAG commissioned a
study of regional service needs which may result in a future revision to the
formula. In FY 95-96, staff does not anticipate any significant change to the
amount of funding or level of paratransit service being provided by the County
Transit System in the mid-County/Poway service area.
FINDINGS
The following is a brief description and review of the performance of each of
Poway's transit services over the past year. The recommended TDA funding for
transit services in FY 95-96 is outlined in Attachment B. The estimated and
projected ridership for FY 95-96 is shown in Attachment C.
COMMUNITY FIXED ROUTES
This service consists of Routes 844 and 845, which operate in opposite
directions on a large loop (as shown on the map in Attachment D). Service is
provided Monday through Friday from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.,
Saturday service hours run from approximately 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Sundays
and holidays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Projected total ridership for FY 95-96 is estimated at 234,000 passengers,
which is a three percent ridership increase from the FY 94-95 projected total
of 227,000.
Service improvements implemented on July 1, 1994 included:
1. Seven new wheelchair lift-equipped mini-buses replaced the previous
fleet of six mini buses in an effort to increase service reliability and
schedule frequency.
2. Midday service was increased on the Route 845 from one bus operating on
a 60-minute frequency during the off peak to two buses operating all day
on a 35-minute frequency to enhance passenger convenience.

Workshop Agenda Report--
February 16, 1995

3. New holiday service to accommodate passenger demand was added. Service
now operates 364 days a year (previously there was no service on six
major holidays).
4. The Lake Poway call box service which increased ridership to the lake,
reduced unnecessary bus trips and reduced operating costs was made
permanent.
Mayflower Contract Services, Inc., currently operates the fixed route service
and provides the vehicles. Last spring, this multiyear contract was
competitively bid. Mayflower was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder
and effective July 1, 1994, they began a new three year contract with two one
year options.
Mayflower's contract payment is primarily based on the number of revenue miles
they operate multiplied by the contract rate. The current contract rate is
$1.985 per mile. The new rate effective July 1, 1995 will be $2.064 per mile,
or an increase of 7.9 cents per mile.
Revenue miles operated in FY 95-96 are estimated to remain the same as in FY
1994-95 at approximately 340,000 miles. Based on the contractor's rate
increase, the gross cost {before passenger fares are subtracted} for this
service will increase about four percent, or $27,000 next year.
Traffic congestion during peak hours and the over 100 passengers in
wheelchairs accommodated monthly continues to slow down the fixed route's
operating speed. As a result, the buses were running consistently behind
schedule. To address this problem, the schedules were revised to accommodate
the slower operating speeds. In order to maintain service capacity and
customer convenience, two buses are now running in each direction, at an
average 35-minute frequency service all day long, Monday through Saturday.
Sunday and holiday service continues to be offered on an hourly frequency.
Due to high passenger demand during school starting and stopping times,
special school trippers (additional unscheduled bus service} have been
provided to accommodated passenger loads.
As an added passenger convenience, staff is proposing a demonstration program
to drop passengers off in between established bus stops upon request. This
should decrease walk distances to passenger destinations. This service has
been implemented in other suburban areas with great success. Drivers will be
given training on how and where to make safe stops. A marketing/public
information campaign will introduce this pilot service to the community. The
pilot service is tentatively scheduled to begin March 1, 1995.
In an effort to improve schedule adherence, the County Transit staff is
studying the feasibility of equipping Poway buses with traffic signal
preemption devices. If running behind schedule for example, the buses would
be able to extend green lights in order to clear an intersection. Bus
preemption devices are currently being used in Napa, California and other
communities. Emergency vehicle preemption devices would continue to have
priority over transit vehicle preemption devices. Traffic signal
modifications and outfitting the buses with preemption transmitters is
estimated to cost $25,000. TDA capital funds could be used for this purpose.
A report on bus preemption technology will be prepared in the Winter of 1995
for City staff's review.

Minor pass and cash price increases are being proposed by MTDB for FY 1995-96.
The proposed fare increases, if implemented, should have minimal impact on
Poway ridership and revenue. Passenger fare revenue contributes approximately
22 percent of the funds to operate the community fixed route service.
The current and a proposed fare structure are as follows:
Fare Media Current Proposed 7-1-95
adult pass $49.00 $50.00
student/youth 24.50 25.00
senior/disabled 12.25 12.50
regular cash fare 1.00 1.10
student/youth .75 .80
senior/disabled .75 .80
The MTDB Executive Committee is scheduled to address the proposed fare
increases at their meeting on February 9, 1995.
Community Fixed Route Recommendations
1. Continue the use of additional vehicles (trippers) during peak service
times (primarily school trips) to keep the service on schedule and
increase passenger capacity.
2. Provide on-request passenger drop-offs in between established bus stops
to enhance customer convenience.
3. Study the feasibility of using a traffic signal preemption system to
improve the schedule adherence on the fixed route system.
COMMUTER EXPRESS BUS SERVICE
The San Diego County Transit System Route 820 Commuter Express Bus serves
Poway and Sabre Springs residents who work in Center City San Diego. Four
round trips are provided Monday through Friday with intercity highway coaches
operating in the 1-15 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. The a.m. and p.m.
trips are designed to meet most downtown work schedules.
A projected 51,600 passengers will ride the Route 820 in FY 94-95 versus an
actual total ridership of 47,728. This 8.1 percent increase in passengers can
be attributed to our service quality, marketing efforts, 1-15 peak hour
traffic congestion, HOV lane benefits, and slowly rebounding downtown
employment market. An average of 26 passengers per trip use the service.
Goodall's Charter Bus Service, Inc., operates the service using their
intercity highway coaches. Effective October 1, 1994, the five year contract
between the County and Goodall's was extended through September 30, 1996 as
permitted under the terms of the contract.
The per mile cost of operating this service will increase approximately three
percent from the current $3.62 to $3.73 beginning October 1, 1995. Based on
this contract cost increase minus passenger fares, Poway's share of the net
cost to operate the Route 820 should remain the same next year at
approximately $68,000.

Coastal Commuter Rail Service in the I-5 corridor is scheduled to begin on
February 27, 1995, and will result in the elimination of CTS Route 800
service. Route 800 currently operates 10 round trips between the coastal
communities and downtown San Diego. When train service begins in February,
County Transit will shift their resources to the 1-15 corridor.
Expanded 1-15 Commuter ~press Bus Service
Effective February 27, County Transit will be operating two new North County
to downtown San Diego routes in the 1-15 corridor. Route 850 replaces San
Diego Transit Route 220 and will serve Rancho Bernardo and Rancho Penasquitos
commuters. Route 860 replaces Route 230 and will serve South Escondido,
Rancho Bernardo, and Carmel Mountain commuters. Each route will offer four
round trips with time schedules similar to the existing Poway Route 820 and
Escondido Route 810 services as shown in Attachment E.
The new County Transit system 1-15 commuter routes feature faster service with
fewer stops, HOV lane access, comfortable intercity highway coaches and a new
Guaranteed Ride Home Program.
The cost of this expanded service will be borne by County TDA revenues
previously used to subsidize the Route 800 service. In addition to
consolidating 1-15 commuter service under one operator, this change will
reduce operating costs for MTDB which is struggling with financial shortfalls
this year.
Staff is recommending that MTDB not consider cash or pass fare increases for
the Route 810 {Escondido) or 820 (Poway) next year. Staff is, however,
proposing that MTDB implement pass and cash fare increases to bring the new
Routes 850 and 860 up from the existing 220/230 fare levels {from $59 to
$62/$67 based on distance). These adjustments are necessary due to the
"premium express" service enhancements and to match the existing Commuter
Express Route 810 and 820 fares. Passenger fare revenues currently contribute
approximately 33 percent of the funds needed to provide these commuter express
services.
County Transit will begin a major marketing program in February to make North
County Inland commuters aware of the additional express bus service that will
be available in the 1-15 corridor. Ridership incentives include:
· Adult express bus passes will continue to be sold at a $5 discount.
Funds for this promotional discount are being provided to the region
through an Air Pollution Control Board Grant.
· County commuter express bus passengers purchasing a monthly pass are
able to take advantage of a "Guaranteed Ride Home Program." In the
event a passenger has an emergency at home during the day or must work
overtime, and therefore be unable to ride the bus, they receive a free
ride home. This taxi-style service is provided by Cloud Nine Shuttle,
which also provides the Poway Airporter service. Funds for this program
are being provided through an Air Pollution Control Board Grant.

Commuter Express Bus Recommendations
1. Continue to expand commuter express service in the 1-15 corridor based
on passenger demand and available funds.
2. Continue marketing and public information efforts to increase ridership.
3. Support continuation of the $5 subsidy for monthly pass holders provided
by an Air Pollution Control District Grant.
4. Continue Guaranteed Ride Home Program for express bus customers.
AIRPORTER SERVICE
Poway residents can arrange reduced rate transportation between Poway and the
San Diego International Airport by prearranging their trip with a contract
service provider. The City subsidizes a portion of each passenger's fare,
thereby reducing the cost to the user. As a result, the cost of this service
is directly related to the number of people taking advantage of the service
and the subsidy level per passenger provided by the City.
Cloud Nine Shuttle (formerly Sureride Shuttle) currently operates this service
on the City's behalf. Their contract consists of a two year base term which
expires September 30, 1995. Two one year option terms are available if the
City wishes to continue the Cloud Nine contract.
Ridership on the airporter contract service has declined significantly over
the past two years, however, it appears that the number of Poway residents
using airport shuttles in general has probably increased. The reason for this
is the competition between the new contractor and the previous contractor.
Cloud Nine Shuttle underbid the previous service provider, Peerless Shuttle,
last year and was awarded the new contract. Peerless Shuttle, in an effort to
retain the large Poway market they had developed over the previous four year
contract, significantly lowered their fares to undercut the City subsidized
Cloud Nine rates. As a result, Peerless reported ridership of 17,117
passengers when they had the contract in FY 92-93, while in FY 93-94, Cloud
Nine contract ridership was 8,733 passengers. No increase in contract
ridership is projected for FY 94-95.
This turn of events has been of benefit to the City, as reduced ridership on
the Cloud Nine contracted service has decreased Poway TDA subsidy payments,
while Poway residents now have a choice of two reasonably-priced shuttle
services. Comparable airporter rates in neighboring Rancho Bernardo tend to
be four to five dollars higher for a similar trip.
The current fare recovery ration for this service is 73 percent, and the
amount of TDA funds to subsidize Poway resident's use of this service in FY
1994-95 are estimated at $26,000, which is considerably less than the $51,106
claimed to subsidize the service in FY 93-94.

Airporter Recommendations
1. Maintain airporter passenger fares and TDA subsidies per passenger at
the current levels. Poway airporter fares are currently the best value
in the region.
2. Continue marketing the Cloud Nine service to assist them in capturing an
adequate volume of Poway business to offset their contract related
expenses (e.g. performance bond, insurance, and TDA reporting
requirements).
3. Negotiate the extension of the option terms for airporter service with
Cloud Nine Shuttle.
SENIOR AND DISABLED DIAL-A-RIDE SERVICE
The Dial-A-Ride is a wheelchair lift-equipped transportation service designed
to provide curb-to-curb service for persons with disabilities and seniors. In
accordance with ADA, disabled persons are given service priority, however,
Poway seniors generally have not had difficulty booking a trip. The service
in mid-County is used by approximately 600 passengers a month.
According to the Red Cross records, approximately 62 percent {372) of their
monthly passengers are going to or coming from Poway. Of the passengers using
the Dial-A-Ride service, only 72 Poway passengers are ADA certified.
It is anticipated that as more persons request service and it becomes more
difficult to book a trip, ADA certifications in the mid-County area will
increase.
Service is available in Poway and the City of San Diego communities of Rancho
Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Sabre Springs, and Carmel Mountain Ranch.
Service is provided by three vehicles Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6
p.m. County Transit Services {CTS} provides this service through a four year
contract with the American Red Cross "Wheels". The base term on this contract
runs until September 30, 1997. A one year option term is available.
The mid-County Dial-A-Ride is an expensive service, recovering only 11.4
percent of its cost from passenger fare revenues. For the first half of FY
94-95, this service has operated at a net cost of $17.01 per passenger. The
Dial-A-Ride is funded with regional Article 4.5 TDA funds which can only be
used for senior/disabled paratransit services.
To comply with federal mandates, MTDB's ADA Complementary Paratransit Plan
proposed that these services be expanded to match the local fixed route
service hours by January 1997. This federally mandated expansion of
paratransit service will result in a significant increase in the cost to
provide the mid-County service (approximately $75,000). Additional funds to
provide this expanded level of service in 1997 have not been identified.

Automated Scheduling Software
In an effort to reduce costs and increase productivity, the contractor
recently installed a computer-based automated scheduling system called PASS
(Paratransit Automated Service Software). Instead of manually scheduling
passengers into individual time slots, this system is able to group passengers
who are traveling a common corridor at similar times onto one vehicle. This
new scheduling software should result in a productivity increase over the 1.75
passengers per hour and 0.66 passengers per mile currently carried in the mid-
County.
Dial-A-Ride Recommendations
1. Continue to provide Dial-A-Ride service in the most cost effective
manner in light of the federally mandated ADA service requirements.
2. Support CTS efforts to obtain the maximum amount of Article 4.5 TDA
funds for the mid-County ADA service area.
3. Continue to monitor contractor's progress in using the new PASS computer
system.
4. Work with senior/disabled groups to get more Poway residents ADA
certified.
5. Support legislative efforts to require funding for the federally
mandated expansion of paratransit services or extension of the
compliance date beyond January 1, 1997.
TRANSIT CAPITAL PROJECTS
As detailed on Attachment B, staff is recommending that the City Council
consider and authorize the following capital claims for FY 95-96:
1. $10,000 toward the Bus Stop Improvement Capital Reserve Account. The
Council established this account last year with an initial $10,000
claim. This account is to be used to improve bus stops for wheelchair
accessibility. Additional systemwide bus stop improvements to meet ADA
standards are estimated to cost $41,000.
2. $8,000 as the second of three years' contributions toward a Capital
Reserve Account to fund Poway Transit's future purchase of radio
communications equipment. The new radio equipment will be necessary to
use the future Countywide 800 Band. The 800 band will enable all local
and regional transit and paratransit service providers to communicate
with each other directly.
3. Staff recommends that any remaining unallocated reserve funds be added
to the existing $1,112,274 Poway Transit Center Capital Reserve Account.

FISCAL IMPACT
The transit services in FY 95-96 will exceed Poway's TDA allocation and
require an appropriation of approximately $11,495 from the City's Unallocated
Reserve of $20,390. If the City Council authorizes the funding in FY 95-96
for transit capital projects {American with Disabilities Act [ADA] bus stop
improvements and a countywide radio network), it will require an allocation of
approximately $18,000 from the City's TDA Capital Reserve Fund. The City's
Capital Reserve Fund currently totals $1,301,274.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the status report on Poway's
transit services, ridership, and TDA funding, and take the following action:
1. Authorize staff to implement the existing levels of transit services and
the ADA bus stop improvements and Countywide network capital projects in
the FY 95-96 TDA claim.
2. Authorize an appropriation of $11,495 from the City's unallocated
reserve fund of $20,390 for transit services in FY 95-96.
3. Authorize an appropriation of $18,000 from the Capital Reserve Fund for
capital projects in FY 95-96.
4. Authorize the allocation of any unallocated TDA reserves to the Capital
Reserve Fund in FY 95-96.
