Mr. Jordan asked how the $5.4 million is funded. Mr. Antila said the current funds are based on the original 2002 dollar allocations through the entire 20 years of the program and are equally split for those 20 years. He said the information that was used was based on the final report that was approved by the Board of Directors last March. Mr. Antila said the boardings are a significant factor of determining the warrant levels. Mr. Jungwirth said the priorities that were set up and the points that were allocated were based on the consultant s recommendations that were approved by the Board of Directors. Mr. Normand suggested the spreadsheet (which was presented in the meeting packet) should show the points by bus stop to see how they fall out within the different groupings. Stuart Boggs, Planning Manager, said the spreadsheet was developed by the consultant who developed the original report and used the original report for guidance in developing the spreadsheet. 4

5 Ms. Colbath asked what was used to determine what bus stops would be funded and which ones wouldn t once the funding ran out. Mr. Antila said there is no determination which should not be funded. Mr. Normand said it is important how the funds are allocated. He was concerned that if the committee has spent three years developing a process and is pleased with the outcome currently presented, then it should move forward. He said if this does not move forward, the committee needs to discuss how everyone can reach a point where everything is ok with the funds each jurisdiction is getting for the improvements and RPTA can distribute the funds while the funds are still available. He is concerned that if the committee spends more time refining the system, there won t be any funds to discuss. Ms. Howard said she is concerned about the discrepancies with the final draft and would like to have a copy of the final report. This could ensure that we are following what was written in the report. She said it would be better if the consultants or Paul Hodgins were at the meeting to confirm that each jurisdiction is following what was approved by the Board of Directors. Mr. Jordan suggested this item be brought back to the next VMOCC meeting on December 16 and have the final report available. Mr. Normand asked what three methodologies were used to determine bus stop boardings by location. Mr. Antila said the following were the three methodologies: 1 An actual physical boarding count 2 A method developed by the Institute for Traffic Engineers (ITE) 3 An application form to be filled out Ms. Colbath asked if the actual numbers awarded to each site differed enough to use them as a ranking order or are they based on the way the program runs or do they all have the same number of scores. Mr. Antila said he didn t look at the ranking scores closely. He said the scores can be pulled out of the formula, just by adding a new formula at the end of each of them. He felt the committee would determine what process to use for priority 2 funding. Ms. Colbath said it would be good to have those numbers as part of the spreadsheet. Mr. Caldwell said it would be beneficial to use the ITE trip generation or passenger boarding generation and compare it to actual boardings. He suggested the information regarding the bus improvement program be correct before the recommendation moves forward. The committee requested to see the following information at the next VMOCC meeting: Bus Stop Report Description or presentation on the methodologies in getting the information and priorities Priority 1 and 2 be the focus of discussion Warrant Analysis 5

6 Make sure the methodology used follows the bus stop report and is following what was approved by the Board of Directors IT WAS MOVED BY REED CALDWELL AND SECONDED BY JOHN KELLEY TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT. Mr. Normand said he is not supporting the motion. THE MOTION WAS DEFEATED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: FOR: PEORIA PHOENIX SCOTTSDALE AGAINST: AVONDALE CHANDLER GILBERT GLENDALE MESA TEMPE MARICOPA COUNTY Mr. Normand said verification is needed for the process that was used and that it follow the process that was approved by the Board of Directors. He asked about the timeframe in getting all the requested items and questions answered from the committee members. Mr. Antila said within the next couple of days. IT WAS MOVED BY MIKE NORMAND, SECONDED BY REED CALDWELL AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT VMOCC MEETING ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, The February and March 2008 Board of Directors meeting minutes were provided for information on the discussions and approval of the Bus Stop Inventory and Design Guidelines Study. 2. Public Comment None received. The meeting was adjourned at 3:05 p.m. 6

7 Regional Public Transportation Authority 302 N. First Avenue, Suite 700, Phoenix, Arizona , Fax Valley Metro Operations and Capital Committee Information Summary Date December 12, 2008 Subject Bus Stop Improvement Program Funding Allocation Agenda Item #6 Summary The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) allocated $26.4 million for bus stop improvements over the 20-year program. A total of $5,468,835 has been accumulated through FY2009, but has yet to be distributed until a method of application and allocation had been finalized. The RPTA Board accepted the RPTA Bus Stop Program and Standards - Final Report: Findings and Recommendations and adopted the described program on March 20, of The program and board memo established priorities as follows: 1 - New regional stops serving one or more regionally funded route (identified in the RTP as a regional bus route that is funded through the Public Transportation Fund) 2 - Other new regional stops (on non-ptf funded regional routes or new extensions) 3 - Existing regional stops to bring up to ADA standards (ADA upgrades on non-ptf funded regional routes) 4 - Any regional bus stop, to upgrade amenities (amenity upgrades to non-ptf funded regional routes) 5 - Any stop (regional or local), to bring up to ADA standards (ADA upgrades on non- PTF funded local routes) 6 - Any stop (regional or local), to upgrade amenities (amenity upgrades on non-ptf funded local routes) 7 - Bus pullouts Some level 1 stop locations will be improved and funded as part of the Bus Rapid Transit program of the Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) in future years. Also, many stops that are currently not priority 1 will become a priority 1 in future years when the service begins being funded by the RTP. The report also outlined different levels of desired bus stop improvements and related cost estimates for those improvements below. 1

BASE LEVEL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 LEVEL 4 Qualification Criteria Daily Boardings None OR Daily Boardings None Additional Points None Agencies could apply for funding for any bus stop that was installed or improved after November 2003, since that is the date when the RTP was finalized. Applications were 2

9 received on October 17, 2008 for over 2000 new and existing locations warranting nearly $30 million dollars of improvements. Funding is sufficient to fund all of the priority 1 locations at the cost estimates prescribed in the Final Report and inflated at the levels as determined by the formula, but is $121, 952 short of funding all of the priority 2 locations. All of the priority 2 stops could be funded if the level 4 amount per stop location was reduced from $25,338 to $23,363 per stop, which is considered to still be an adequate amount to make the recommended improvements. Fiscal Impact Funding for bus stop improvements is already programmed in the Transit Life Cycle Program. The program provides capital funding only; right-of-way acquisition, ongoing maintenance and operation of bus stops are not included. Local jurisdictions are responsible for the ongoing operational costs for any capital improvements. Considerations Funding has been programmed for several years to assist agencies in improving bus stops region-wide as part of the RTP. Recommending locations and funding levels is needed to allow distribution of these funds to agencies to pay for improvements made and for new improvements for new services. If no recommendations are made, funding will not be allocated and agencies that have made improvements will not be able to be reimbursed. Similarly, improvements on new routes scheduled to begin service in July 2010 may not be in place when the new service begins. Committee Action Process March 20, 2008: Valley Metro Board accepted the Bus Stop Program and Standards Final Report and adopted the program described. December 8, 2008: Special VMOCC meeting to review locations and funding amounts. December 16, 2008: VMOCC recommends locations and funding amounts. January 7, 2009: TMC considers recommendation. January 22, 2009: Board of Directors considers recommendation. Recommendation It is recommended that the VMOCC recommend allocating the current available funding to all priority 1 and priority 2 bus stops at the inflated funding amounts prescribed in the RPTA Bus Stop Program and Standards Final Report but with a reduced funding amount for a level 4 treatment from $25,338 to $23,363 and forward to the TMC for consideration.

10 FY BUS STOP PROGRAM FUNDING LIST SUMMARY The list is separated by priority level and includes the following information for each stop: Location of Bus Stop - The direction of travel, cross street or address, and relation of the stop to the intersection/cross street. Bus Stop Number - The regional bus stop number or other bus stop number as provided by the submitting agency in the application (if known or provided). Some stops may be new and may not yet have a number. Priority - The funding priority of the location as determined by the formula based on routes served at the location, and information provided on the Bus Stop Priority portion of the application. Amenities - The level of treatment as determined by the formula based on information provided on the Bus Stops Warrant Criteria Assessment portion of the application. Agency - The agency that submitted the application for the location Super Grid Year If applicable, the first fiscal year that the stop is expected to be served by a regionally funded super grid route. If the stop is already served by a regionally funded route, then Existing is shown. Funding for stops served by super grid routes is included in the Bus Stop Improvement Program of TLCP. BRT Year The first fiscal year that the stop is expected to be served by a regionally funded BRT route. Funding for stations/stops served by regionally funded BRT routes are currently included in TLCP as part of the BRT budgets. Existing Express Existing express route(s) that currently serve the stop that are or may be regionally funded, but the routes are not specifically identified as RTP funded expansions of the express route system. No specific provisions have been made for funding for these in the TLCP. Auto Level 3?* (Priority 1 and 2 only due to time constraints and limited funding) Stops that are on mile streets to provide a visible level of support form of a Level 3 stop (that is, a stop with a shelter) regardless of boardings or warrant points. Boarding Count* Actual or estimated boarding count provided by the submitting agency. Counts could be either actual counts, or estimates based on a traffic engineering study, using the trip generation handbook published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, or using the table provided in the application file that was developed based on ITE trip generation numbers and general land uses. Warrant Score* The number of additional warrant points awarded to the stop based on input entered in the warrant portion of the application. Amenities Amount The dollar value of the amenities that are warranted at the stop (value assigned based on Amenities level of treatment). Cumulative Total The value of the amenities when each successive stop is added to the previous amenities combined value. The list has been sorted: first In Priority order from 1-7; second - in alphabetical order of agency; and third by bus stop number. (NOTE: The sorting shown is NOT intended to indicate ANY order in which stops should be funded. * Values included for priority 1 and 2 only due to time constraints and funding limitations

11 SUMMARY Priority 1 Consists of all current and proposed stops (including loops and turn-arounds) serving existing RTP regionally funded Super Grid routes as well as stops expected to serve the RTP regionally funded Main Street (in December 2009), Gilbert Road (in July 2009) and Power Road (in July 2009) Super Grid routes. Stops for Gilbert Road and Power road have been included as a priority 1, to try to provide funding so improved or new stops can be in place prior to new service starting in July (even though the service itself is funded in FY ). Priority 2 Consists of new stops (including loops and turn-arounds) installed on new local routes or new extensions of existing local routes. Locations with an entry in Super Grid Year are on extensions of future Super Grid routes that local agencies are funding in advance of the Regional Funding. Priority 3 Consists of improved and new stops (including loops and turn-arounds) on existing regional bus routes that are presently locally funded AND do not meet ADA Guidelines. Stops that include an entry under Super Grid Year will be Regionally RTP funded in the year shown. Priority 4 Consists of improved and new stops (including loops and turn-arounds) on existing regional bus routes that are presently locally funded AND do meet ADA Guidelines. Stops that include an entry under Super Grid Year will be Regionally RTP funded in the year shown. Priority 5 Consists of improved and new stops (including loops and turn-arounds) on existing local bus routes that are presently locally funded AND do not meet ADA Guidelines. Stops that include an entry under Super Grid Year will be extended to a regional route and Regionally RTP funded in the year shown. Priority 6 Consists of improved and new stops (including loops and turn-arounds) on existing local bus routes that are presently locally funded AND do meet ADA Guidelines. Stops that include an entry under Super Grid Year will be extended to a regional route and Regionally RTP funded in the year shown. Priority 7 All Bus Pullouts

45 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards 1. Introduction Bus stops in many instances serve as the front door to the transit system. As such, they play an important role in the perception that transit patrons and the community have towards their transit system. Given that travelers consider time spent waiting for and transferring between buses two to three times harder to tolerate than time spent on moving vehicles 1, bus stop amenities provide the transit agency with an opportunity to create a favorable impression of the transit system. Additionally, passenger and operator safety is a high priority, and transit agencies can enhance safety through improved amenities and design. This report details the major findings and recommendations produced during the course of the Bus Stop Program and Standards project. The project produced recommendations for data management, established guidelines for design and implementation, and developed a system of prioritization and warrants to qualify sites for regional funding. 1.1 Purpose and Need The 2004 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Proposition 400 allocated $26.4 million 2 for bus stop improvements over the 20-year program. This funding allocation has raised public expectations regarding the provision of bus stop amenities. At the same time, the Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) cannot afford to fund a top-of-the-line bus shelter at every stop in the region. RPTA and member agencies need to distribute amenities throughout the system to ensure that all user groups and jurisdictions are treated equitably, and that capital investments enhance planned operational investments. 1.1.a Project Goals The goals of the Bus Stop Program and Standards project are as follows: 1. Understand the data maintenance and management practices of RPTA member agencies; 2. Understand the needs and objectives of member agencies in providing amenities at bus stops; 3. Develop reasonable levels of investment (funding) for bus stop amenities; 4. Design a program of objective criteria to prioritize RTP funding for bus stops across the region; 5. Provide best practices and design standard construction requirements to RPTA member cities to meet RPTA s goals as well as newer requirements from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and 6. Prepare a coordinated implementation program for bus stop investments. 1.1.b Limits of the Funding The Bus Stop Pullouts/Improvements funding provides capital funding only; right-of-way acquisition, ongoing maintenance and operation of bus stops are not included and remain a local responsibility. Local jurisdictions are responsible for the ongoing operational costs for any capital improvements. The funding provided through Proposition 400 was designed to address bus stops associated with regional transit investments, such as Supergrid service. However, the prioritization system allows consideration of local stops in any given year once regional priorities are satisfied. 1 See Ben-Akiva, M., and Lerman, SR. Discrete choice analysis. MIT Press, Funding allocation is in FY 2005/06 dollars. 1

46 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards In addition, local jurisdictions may apply to use funding to upgrade an existing bus stop to a higher level of amenities; however, funding will not be used simply to replace existing amenities except when amenities must be replaced for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 1.2 Relationship to the Transit Life Cycle Program The Transit Life Cycle Program provides a means of tracking the ebb and flow of Public Transportation Fund (PTF) funding. The Finance Oversight Advisory Committee (FOAC) reviews the Transit Life Cycle financial model at least annually and makes recommendations to improve financial management and maintain jurisdictional equity over the 20-year life of the RTP. Ultimately, the Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) dictates the share of funding that member agencies receive from Prop The process ensures that jurisdictional equity is monitored over the 20 year life of the program. (Jurisdictional equity refers to the overall share of funding received from revenues generated by Proposition 400.) While jurisdictional equity will be monitored in terms of overall capital and operations allocations, the share of funding that any given local jurisdiction receives may differ from sub-program to sub-program and from year to year. Jurisdictional equity ensures an equitable distribution of funding from PTF as a whole, but a means of rating individual bus stops for funding was still needed and was developed as part of the Bus Stops Study. It is anticipated that some localities will have more urgent needs in some years than others, and the bus stop warrants program will provide guidance to RPTA and the VMOCC to prioritize projects annually based on an objective rating process. For a more complete understanding of the TLCP, contact RPTA s Life Cycle Manager. Updated TLCP information, including projects and dollar amounts, is included in the 2007 RTP annual update. The associated policies and procedures are available for distribution through the Life Cycle Manager. 1.3 Project Process The process for the Bus Stop Study was designed to promote information gathering, information sharing, group discussion, and consensus building. The project was led by RPTA under the oversight of a Technical Advisory Group (TAG), which met periodically throughout the study to discuss project findings and consider project recommendations. 1.3.a Formation and Composition of TAG The TAG was designed to be inclusive with a broadbased membership. Representatives from the following groups regularly attended meetings and workshops: City of Avondale City of Chandler Town of Gilbert City of Glendale City of Mesa City of Phoenix City of Scottsdale City of Tempe Workshop participants discuss bus stop amenities 2

In addition, TAG members participated in two four-hour workshops: a Design Workshop, at which participants determined the levels of bus stops and associated amenities to use in generating a level of investment; and an Investment Criteria Workshop, where participants created a list of important factors to consider in allocating funding. Representatives from transit operations, including bus operators, contracting companies, and transit shelter advertising companies were also invited to participate in project workshops. Notes were recorded and distributed after each of the meetings and workshops. 2. Major Findings and Recommendations 2.1 Existing Bus Stop Guidelines Regional bus stop design guidelines were established in 1993 and are included in the RPTA Bus Stop Handbook. The Handbook is intended to be used by planners, designers, developers, and agency officials. It includes guidelines on the location of bus stops, signage, street geometrics, passenger needs, bus priority treatments, and bus vehicle characteristics. Agencies within the RPTA region may choose to use only this handbook in bus stop design, but they are not required to do so. Many cities have included additional guidelines, policies, and standards in various plans they have developed. Consequently, bus stop standards and designs vary across the region. Table 1 (on the next page) presents information that is included in various bus stop policies throughout Maricopa County. 2.1.a Bus Stop Design Guidelines In order to provide guidance to Valley cities about legal requirements and other considerations in bus stop construction, a stand-alone document, Bus Stop Design Guidelines, was created to provide a common set of information in a helpful and concise manner. The guidelines detail requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) where applicable and also suggest best practices gleaned from the experience of Valley cities.

49 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards As mentioned, the best practices in the Guidelines go beyond ADA requirements in some cases. One such example is a recommendation that cities provide an eight-foot by eight-foot clear area (concrete pad) instead of the eight-by-five area required under ADA. Some Valley cities have learned through experience that an eight-by-eight clear area provides additional space for bus operators to locate the rear door at the clear area when the bus comes to a stop, especially once additional amenities are provided. Guidelines such as this are not legal requirements; but, by adopting best practices, towns and cities may be able to avoid costly retrofits that result from pursuing only required minimums. The funding levels are set up to allow cities the flexibility to follow best practices, not just legal minimums. 2.2 Valley Bus Stop Inventories Another objective of the Bus Stop Study was to understand whether and how Valley cities maintain information about their bus stops. The project team found that only 6 of the 18 Valley cities interviewed maintain their own database of bus stop information. Table 2: lists Valley cities in which transit service is provided and whether or not they have a locally maintained bus stop database. (The information in the table is current as of May 2006.) Table 2: City-Maintained Bus Stop Databases Jurisdictions with Transit Service City of Avondale City of Chandler City of El Mirage Town of Fountain Hills Town of Gilbert City of Glendale City of Goodyear Town of Guadalupe City of Litchfield Park City of Mesa Town of Paradise Valley City of Peoria City of Phoenix City of Scottsdale City of Surprise City of Tempe City of Tolleson Locally Maintained Database? No Yes No No Yes Yes No No No Yes No No Yes Yes No Yes No 2.2.a Valley-wide Database The City of Phoenix Public Transit Department (PTD) manages the region-wide database. (Originally, the intent of this database was to maintain an inventory of bus stops for bus route scheduling and vehicle management.) The City of Phoenix PTD provides an inventory form cities should use to log bus stop data when there are additions or changes in the system (see Figure 1 on the next page), but this form is seldom used. As a result, the information maintained in the various databases is not always consistent. For example, each city maintains 5

50 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards different information about their bus stops - together, the cities databases included more than 35 informational categories, while the region-wide database contained only 27 categories. (The number and type of categories also differed from city to city.) In some cases, bus stops listed in individual cities databases did not appear in the region-wide database, and vice versa. Figure 1: Region-wide Database 2.2.b Recommendations After reviewing the findings regarding bus stop inventories in the Valley, the TAG made the following recommendations: Local agencies should maintain a database containing - at minimum - the same information as found in the region-wide database 3 and provide updates when changes are made or stops are added. 3 Cities can add as many additional fields as they need to tailor the database for their individual needs. 6

51 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards Local inventories should cross-reference all local stop ID numbers with the regional stop ID number. Local jurisdictions should aim to use computer-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to reference bus stops, and thereby obtain more accurate boarding information. Valley cities should develop a standard naming convention for bus stop locations, including a naming convention that can be sorted by street name. The following naming convention is suggested: 1) Direction of travel: NB, SB, EB, WB 2) Bus street : The street the stop is located on (example: Priest Dr not S Priest Dr ) 3) Cross street: If it is a midblock stop, name both cross streets, in order by direction of travel (example: Southern Ave/Broadway Rd ). 4) Position of stop (NS-near side, FS- far side, MB- mid block) Local databases should include contact information and submittal instructions to promote use of the regional Bus Stop Inventory Form. The following items should be added to the regional bus stop inventory: o Routes served o Power access o Bus pullouts o Landmark and/or bus stop photograph Future work will include establishing a system of correspondence between local jurisdictions and the agency maintaining the regional database to ensure information is coordinated and above recommendations can be incorporated without creating undue burden at local or regional levels. Utilization of on-line e-forms using a secure site should also be considered for acquiring and maintaining bus stop inventory data. 2.3 Allocating Funding This section addresses prioritization of bus stops for funding, and the level of investment to be provided to a given bus stop. 2.3.a Annual Funding Allocation The RTP allocated $24.4 million for bus stop improvements over twenty years. As part of its annual review of the Transit Life Cycle financial program, the FOAC will recommend the funding cap for bus stop improvements each year. Among the criteria the FOAC will consider in determining the annual cap is the need to ensure that bus stop funding will be available to support new routes in later years of the RTP b Prioritization of Bus Stops The RTP provides for expansion of the regional transit system through the addition of new bus miles to the system or the conversion of existing bus miles from local funding to regional funding. Any bus stop in the system is eligible for RTP bus stop funding, but in order to ensure that an adequate level of funding is preserved for new bus stops throughout the lifecycle of the 4 See Appendix II for a minimum budgetary amount required each year to support new bus stops. 7

52 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards RTP, a prioritization system was developed. In any given year, bus stop funding requests will be funded in the following order, up the funding limit determined by the FOAC: 1. New, regional stops serving one or more regionally funded routes 2. Other new regional bus stops 5 3. Existing regional stops to bring up to ADA standards 6 4. Any regional bus stop, to upgrade amenities 5. Any stop (regional or local), to bring up to ADA standards 6. Any stop (regional or local), to upgrade amenities 7. Bus pullouts Note: A regionally funded route is one that is identified in the RTP as a regional bus route and is also funded through the Public Transportation Fund (PTF). A regional bus stop is one that is served by one or more RTP-identified, regional bus routes, such a supergrid or rural connector route, but that is not necessarily funded by the PTF. A regional route may have portions that are regionally funded, and portions that are not. An existing local stop will qualify as a regional bus stop if RTP-identified, regional bus service will begin to serve the stop within five (5) years. In addition to prioritizing the order in which bus stops are funded, the project team developed standard levels of bus stop investment and qualification criteria for each level. Two workshops were conducted to promote discussion and decision-making about the key bus stop amenities and how to qualify stops for funding. The resulting recommendations are discussed in the next sections. 2.3.c Bus Stop Levels, Amenities, & Investment In the Design Criteria workshop, the TAG and workshop members created five levels of investment. The levels of amenities were designed to provide a basis for setting funding levels, but are not meant to create onerous requirements regarding the amenities that cities must provide at bus stops. While cities are encouraged to provide the amenities associated with the funding level for which their stop qualifies, the final Project Agreement will detail the exact requirements developed through negotiation between RPTA and the city; requirements will be tailored to each site s unique needs. Table 3 (on the next page) shows each level, its key feature, associated amenities, and funding allocation. 5 Regional routes are Supergrid, BRT and Freeway Express/Connector routes, or portions of said routes, identified in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that are not funded through the Public Transportation (PTF) fund. Regionally funded routes are Supergrid, BRT and Freeway Express/Connector routes, or portions of said routes, identified in the RTP that are funded through PTF. 6 Although the Bus Stop Funding program is geared toward upgrading bus stops rather than providing rehabilitation, an exception will be made in the case of existing bus stops whose existing amenities are not compliant with the ADA. In such a case, a city may apply to provide the same level of amenities at a bus stop, rather than an upgraded level of amenities. 8

53 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards Design criteria workshop participants Besides the bus stop amenities and funding levels, the workshop also produced some general comments and suggestions, summarized below: Signage should include o Route identification o Direction of travel o Valley Metro branding elements Information displays can be a problem because information currently is not updated on a consistent, regional basis (rather, it is according to each city s update schedule). A Table 3: Levels of Bus Stops Amenity Base Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Key Feature Sign Shade Seating Shelter Enhanced Shelter Funding Allocation* $150 $3,000 $6,000 $15,200 $23,200 Bus stop sign 8 x 8 clear area (pad) 8 x 24 clear area (pad) Information display Shade Trash bin Lighting Seating Standard bus shelter Landscaping/planting Safety bollards Bike rack 9

Information displays can be simplified to provide maps and timetables pertaining to one direction of travel, and timetables can be eliminated where headways are very short, e.g. M-F, every 15 minutes. ADA guidelines do not specify what amenities are required at any given bus stop. However, amenities provided at a bus stop must meet applicable ADA guidelines. 7 Best Practices The levels of investment were designed to be fair and to promote practices that go above and beyond those required under the ADA. A key example of this practice is that, while the ADA requires an eight-foot by five-foot clear area, funding provides for larger clear areas, depending on the level, to ensure that spacing requirements can be maintained when additional amenities are provided at the stop. Reinvestment While the funding levels are meant to be adequate, RPTA wishes to encourage efficient use of RTP funding. Therefore, the Bus Stop Investment program allows any savings from the allocated funding to be spent on other transit stop investments (subject to approval by RPTA and consistent with the Project Agreement). For example, if a given bus stop qualifies as a level 3 bus stop and funding is available in the PTF, a city will be granted the $15,200 to provide the amenities specified. If the city is able to secure the amenities for a lower cost, such as by volume purchase or coordination with other Valley cities, any realized savings can be used to fund other bus stop investments. Bus Pullouts As identified in the RTP and Proposition 400, funding is made available for bus pullouts along with bus stop improvements. RPTA supports using RTP funding for bus pullouts only in limited situations, for two key reasons: First, by forcing transit vehicles into an area outside of the traffic lane, bus pullouts create the potential for a delay for passengers when the bus has difficulty reentering traffic, thus reducing efficiency of transit operations. In general, bus pullouts are viewed as a street improvement that benefits the automobile, not the transit system. In addition, studies show that for the Phoenix area, the average person-delay for motorists using the street can be greater when a bus pullout is constructed. Second, bus pullouts are expensive to construct, meaning that RTP funding would quickly be exhausted on the construction of relatively few bus pullouts. (Note: RTP funding applies to construction only, and does not include right-of-way acquisition costs.) 7 RPTA and Valley cities will need to be vigilant about keeping abreast of changing regulations regarding Americans with Disabilities. 10

55 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards Bus pullouts may be warranted where street traffic speeds are 40 mph or more and one of the following conditions exist: Peak period boarding average exceeds five people per bus Average peak period dwell time exceeds 30 seconds per bus A high frequency of accidents involving buses occurred within past year Two traffic lanes or less exist in one direction of travel RPTA will provide matching funding for bus pullouts when the above conditions are met, based on the prioritization system shown in Section 2.3.b. Funding for bus pullouts will be determined on a project-by-project basis, subject to annual funding caps. Presenting recommendations 2.3.d Investment Criteria At the second workshop, the project team developed a list of criteria by which bus stops can qualify for a given level of funding. Participants individually rated the importance of each criterion, using a scale of 0 to 5 (with 0 being unimportant and 5 being very important ). The ratings were then tallied across the group. The results are shown in the table below. Table 4: Criteria and Importance Criteria Avg. Ranking Sensitivity of use 4.4 Daily boardings 3.8 Degree of exposure to elements 3.7 Route intersection/transfers 3.5 Land use measures 3.5 Low frequency 2.8 Safety 2.5 Joint participation 2.5 Transit-friendly development standards in place 2.5 Vehicle characteristics 2.5 Siting 2.4 Current conditions vs. projected conditions 2.0 Type of service 1.8 Request for amenity upgrade 1.8 With the bus stop levels defined and a set of criteria established for rating bus stop needs, the group had produced the foundation for a warrants program. 11

56 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards 2.3.e Passenger Boarding Figures As the group s criteria ratings show, ridership is not the only consideration for level of amenities at a stop, but it is an important component of a set of ranking criteria. In order to develop reasonable thresholds of passenger boardings for each of the bus stop levels, the project team analyzed data from the travel demand model developed by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). Using land use, trip generation, and socioeconomic data supplied from a variety of sources, MAG generates estimates about trip making and mode choice across the Valley. Model outputs are then calibrated against actual transportation data. According to MAG, the latest calibration of the transportation modes was completed in 2005, using data from the 2001 household travel survey and the 2001 on-board bus survey. When passenger boarding data from the MAG model is divided into quintiles (corresponding to five levels of bus stop amenities), the brackets are the following: 1 st quintile: 0 to 10 daily boardings 2 nd quintile: 10 to 35 daily boardings 3 rd quintile: 36 to 70 daily boardings 4 th quintile: 71 to 145 daily boardings 5 th quintile: more than 145 daily boardings. The maps on the following pages show the distribution of boardings across the Valley for three different years: 2004, 2015, and

60 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards 3. Bus Stop Warrants Program By combining the criteria developed in the workshop with passenger boarding thresholds based on regional transit projections, the project team developed a warrants program to evaluate the need for amenities at a given bus stop. Under this warrants program, bus stop sites qualify for funding levels established in the design workshop either by having a minimum number of passenger boardings or by a combination of boardings and points. (Cities are encouraged to provide additional amenities using funding from other sources. See Appendix III for a list of potential transit amenities funding sources.) Linking funding levels with boarding figures is an attempt to provide amenities to the greatest number of users. At the same time, promoting the use of other criteria as well allows growing cities to provide a higher level of amenities than using current boarding figures alone would allow. Note: while jurisdictional equity is monitored and tracked throughout the lifetime of the RTP as per Transit Lifecycle Program Guiding Principle #6, 8 it is not an explicit consideration in awarding bus stop funding. The table below shows the warrant requirement for each bus stop level. BASE LEVEL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 LEVEL 4 Qualification Criteria Daily Boardings None OR Daily Boardings None Additional Points None In addition to these criteria, several cities expressed the need to provide a visible level of support to stops located at intersections of the Valley s mile streets in the form of a Level 3 stop (that is, a stop with a shelter). This has been incorporated into the program. During the application process, a priority and warrants analysis questionnaire will provide the means of gathering information and assigning a corresponding priority and point value for each site. The questionnaire also provides a field for applicants to indicate additional comments about the site that may influence the level of funding the site will qualify for. A single questionnaire may be used for multiple stops. 3.1.a Estimating Passenger Boardings The TAG members agreed that it is in the best interest of a growing region that future projections of demand be permitted as part of warrant criteria. In order to provide an estimate of boarding projections, a methodology was developed to estimate demand quickly based on planned land use surrounding the site in question and using trip generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). This method will be included in the application packet, and can be used when other data are not available. 8 The Transit Lifecycle Program (TLCP) Guiding Principles, adopted by the RPTA Board on June 16, Guiding Principle #6 states that Jurisdictional equity will be monitored annually over 20 years. 16

61 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards 4. Application Process RPTA has identified a process through which Valley cities and towns could apply for bus stop funding that will consider local needs, regional balance, and jurisdictional equity. An effort is being made to reduce paperwork and increase process efficiency. As part of the efficiency measure, it is assumed that a project agreement will not be required for every bus stop application; instead, a single agreement covering all proposed bus stop locations or the ability to modify an existing agreement to add locations will be offered. (A copy of a Project Agreement form is included in Appendix II.) A warrants form will be required for each bus stop for which funding is requested. RPTA encourages electronic submissions, so the form has been created in Excel. However, cities may also print out the form and apply using the paper application. The application and approval process for bus stop funding is as follows: 1. Workshop: About a month before applications are due, RPTA holds a workshop to review the application process, the required paperwork, and so on. At this time, RPTA informs cities of the amount of funding available for that year, allowing the cities to evaluate how to gain the best advantage from the program based on the strength of their application. 2. Applications due: Cities submit applications for bus stop funding, along with a warrant form for each bus stop under consideration. 3. Internal review: RPTA staff review the applications for completeness and clarity. 4. VMOCC review process: the VMOCC (Valley Metro Operating and Capital Committee) forms a sub-committee to review the applications and make recommendations to the full committee based on the warrants and the overall strength of the application. 5. FOAC review process: FOAC reviews VMOCC s recommendations for conformity with the Transit Life Cycle Program and adjusts recommendations accordingly. a. RPTA Executive Director reviews recommendations of FOAC and VMOCC. 6. TMC review process: RPTA Executive Director s recommendation is forwarded to the TMC for review. The TMC then makes a recommendation to the RPTA Board. 7. Board review: The RPTA Board reviews and approves the recommended bus stop investments. Lead agencies are notified of funding approvals. Once a project is approved, lead agencies will negotiate and sign a Project Agreement with RPTA that will cover the bus stop improvements. Lead agencies will then be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred up to the level defined within the Project Agreement. If a city funds bus stop improvements in advance of the programmed schedule (for example, a project may be advanced using city funds), RPTA will reimburse the city with programmed funds as originally scheduled. 4.1.a Qualifying Bus Stops Bus stops constructed any time after November 2003 are eligible for this funding program. New bus stops that serve RTP-identified, regional routes will be eligible to receive reimbursement from the funding program no earlier than six months before service starts. 17

62 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards 4.2 Timeline The bus stop program will be in effect upon approval by the RPTA Board, which is anticipated to be October The application process to allocate funding for fiscal year 2008 will begin after the program is approved. RPTA has established the following timeline for the bus stop funding process: Beginning of June: Workshop End of June: Applications due July: Internal review August - September: VMOCC/FOAC/TMC review process Mid-October: Board makes final recommendation/cities notified of funding amounts RPTA has established this timeline to coincide with cities budgeting processes so that cities will know the amount of funding that they will receive when they develop their annual budgets. Note: Cities will be notified of funding amounts shortly after the mid-october Board meeting, but arrangements remain non-binding until a Project Agreement is in place. 4.3 Program Auditing An audit process will ensure that funds are being spent on the types and quality of bus stops that the RTP intended. The audit will ensure that Public Transportation Funds (PTF) have been used to support transit and that the investments are bus stop compatible. To support the auditing process, each site under consideration for funding will require a warrants analysis and be included in the project assessment report (PAR). 5. Follow-on Work Throughout the progress of the Bus Stop Study, issues arose that were outside the scope of the study but complementary to the intent of supporting good bus stop practices. These are detailed below. 5.1 Creation of Model Transit-friendly Development Ordinance Some Valley cities have amended their governing code with a transit-friendly development ordinance in order to codify support for a transit-friendly community. This language is valuable in signaling to the development community that transit-friendly practices are encouraged by the community and the City Council. For cities that do not yet have a transit-friendly development ordinance, a model ordinance would be a helpful way to encourage consideration of an amendment. 5.2 Data Collection from Automated Passenger Counters The Bus Stop Study used MAG s travel demand model to set daily boarding thresholds because the model provides the only regional data on boardings currently available. Since the model outputs are calibrated against only a ten-percent sample of boardings, the numbers are reasonable but their accuracy is suspect. However, the region will deploy smart farebox technology in winter 2007, which will include automated passenger counting capability. This technology will permit the collection of actual boarding data for the regional bus system. The automated passenger counters will provide invaluable boarding data to all agencies involved in transit provision in the Valley, and an effort to gather the data regionally is a good investment. 18

63 Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards 5.2.a Evaluation of Passenger Boarding Thresholds Once data is collected from automated passenger counters, the thresholds of boardings established under the warrants program should be re-analyzed and adjusted if appropriate. 5.3 Periodic Evaluation of Program The Bus Stop Study introduces new procedures, new requirements, and a new manner of working together regionally. The warrants program and application process should be evaluated after the first round of applications and approvals to assess whether the warrants program and the application procedure meet the needs of Valley cities, and whether RPTA is able to process applications and create recommendations efficiently. 5.4 Valley-specific Bus Stop Demand Forecasting The TAG members agreed that it is in the best interest of a growing region that future projections of demand be permitted as part of warrant criteria. While guidelines on estimating future demand at bus stops were provided as part of the warrants program, these guidelines are based on generally accepted national trends in trip generation and transit use. A forecasting method that reflects Valley tendencies and trends should be developed to provide greater accuracy. 5.5 Automated Tracking/Inventory Update Process The application process for bus stop funding will collect a great deal of information about area bus stops and the type of amenities provided at those bus stops. An automated method to import this information into the regional bus stop inventory would provide a valuable means of keeping track of bus stop amenities around the Valley. 5.6 Regional Bus Stop Database Maintenance The responsibility of maintaining the bus stop inventory database is currently held by the City of Phoenix. Given the growing regional nature of transit in the Valley, this responsibility should be transitioned to the RPTA. The bus stop inventory database is currently maintained in Microsoft Access, but can also use similar programs such as Oracle. The time required to maintain this database would be equivalent to approximately ¼ to ½ of a full-time position and would require database knowledge. Transition of regional bus stop database management to RPTA would not preclude local jurisdictions from maintaining their own databases. It is not the intent of RPTA to assume direct responsibility for bus stops, assets, databases, and inventories that the cities may need to control for internal and federal funding purposes. 5.7 Full Utilization of Passenger Information Capabilities The information collected about bus stop amenities, location, and routes serving a particular bus stop can be used to provide a greater level of information to the traveling public. For example, using NextBus technology at busy bus stop can inform transit passengers about their potential wait time, thereby creating a more comfortable traveling experience. In addition, this information can be integrated into Valley Metro trip planning capabilities and conveyed to passengers through online trip planners or the customer service department. Establishing a cooperative, inter-governmental working group to implement the full utilization of passenger information capabilities should be a priority task. 19

64 6. Conclusion Final Report RPTA: Bus Stop Program and Standards Using a collaborative process involving member agencies, transit patrons, and transit operators, the Bus Stop Study gathered a great deal of information about current bus stop practices in the Valley. Although there is inconsistency between communities and between agencies, there is also a strong willingness to work together to create a cohesive system. The Bus Stop Study puts forth recommendations for bus stop data management, established guidelines for bus stop design and implementation, and developed a system of warrants to qualify bus stop sites for regional funding. The follow-on work recommended will further enhance the Valley s bus stop program. By implementing the recommendations of this report, RPTA aims to provide an objective and equitable means of distributing bus stop funding and a common set of guidelines that will help Valley communities provide excellent bus stop amenities for their transit patrons. 20

75 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) provides project level specifications for the operating and capital components of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) as well as revenue and expenditure estimates for the 20-year life of the Public Transportation Fund (PTF). Revenues and expenditures for the 20-year program are estimated from assumptions for inflation, revenue growth and other variables. A periodic review of the financial assumptions is warranted to validate the reasonableness of the TLCP financial estimates. As an element of the Fiscal Year 2009 TLCP update process, HDR S.R. Beard & Associates (HDR SRBA) and the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) reviewed inflation and historic federal funding trends. In addition, alternative financing plans were developed to identify potential effects. 2.0 INFLATION TRENDS The Regional Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) provides a 20-year financial program for regionally funded transit services and capital investments through Fiscal Year A general inflation factor of 3% is provided in the TLCP to account for increases in cost for operations, vehicles and related equipment, construction, and land acquisition. The inflation factor is consistent with rates used at the time of the most recent TLCP update (March 2008) by other local public agencies including the Maricopa Association of Governments and Arizona Department of Transportation. A review of historic indexes and costs\prices is being conducted to identify trends within TLCP expenditure categories. These categories include: Transit Service Operations Transit Vehicles Transit Equipment (fareboxes, radios, etc.) Real-Estate, and Construction Trends for each factor and associated sub-factors are documented separately in the form of graphs. To provide comparable and current indexes, all graphs start with the base year for the TLCP cost estimates (2003), with the exception of some factors that do not have available data as early as the base year. 2.1 TRANSIT SERVICE OPERATIONS Two sub-factors have been reviewed to identify inflation trends for transit service operations: historical trends in service operation costs and fuel cost rates. Service operation costs were reviewed for three western region transit agencies: Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Denver Regional Transit District (RTD), and San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS).

84 3.0 HISTORIC FEDERAL FUNDING TRENDS A significant source of funding for the TLCP 20-year financial program is from the federal government. The purpose of this section of the report is to document the historic trends in formula and discretionary funding for the Phoenix Region under SAFETEA-LU for fiscal years 2004 through The Phoenix Region includes two urbanized areas: Phoenix-Mesa and Avondale. 3.1 METHODOLOGY The data reported in this section are available from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) website and represent total announced FTA apportionments and allocations for each year. 1 The website provides a summary of federal funding apportionments to each state. The information is of sufficient detail to identify specific funding awards by urban area for most programs. The summaries are available for each year beginning Section 5303, 5310 and 5311 formula funds are not identified specifically because the funds are reported by FTA as totals for the state. 3.2 FEDERAL FUNDING PROGRAMS There are four FTA funding programs that are apportioned specifically to the Phoenix-Mesa and Avondale urbanized areas by formula. The formula programs are the following: Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Section 5309 Fixed Guideway Modernization Section 5316 Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) Section 5317 New Freedom The annual apportionments by formula program are summarized as Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1: Formula Funds Apportioned to the Phoenix Region by Year 1 Formula Programs Urban Area $33,117,342 $37,945,303 $38,647,042 $42,409,809 $47,046, Fixed Guideway $2,300,373 $2,293,390 $2,654,002 $2,727,749 $3,560, JARC $1,734,705 $0 $1,437,345 $1,515,115 $1,641, New Freedom $0 $0 $816,250 $817,306 $882,893 Total Annual Formula Funds $37,152,420 $40,238,693 $43,554,639 $47,469,979 $53,131,397 Percent Increase per Year 8% 8% 9% 12% Total formula funds increase each year under SAFETEA-LU. The Phoenix Region received 8 to 9 percent increase each year from 2004 through In 2008, the apportionment for all formula programs increased 12 percent over funds in Figure 3-2 provides an illustration of the trend for FTA formula funds for the Phoenix Region for fiscal years 2004 through The largest formula program for the Phoenix Region is Section 5307 Urban Area; however, formula funds apportioned based on fixed guideway investments are increasing. 1 Draft FY 2009 Transit Finance & Planning Research Report Page 10

87 3.4 PEER COMPARISON HISTORICAL TRENDS The historical trend for federal funding for transit in the Phoenix Region is compared to peers in this section of the report. Each of the regions and the corresponding service area population are listed in Figure 3-6. Each of the peers is similar in population for the service area. 2 Figure 3-6: Peer Regions for Comparison Historical Trends 3.5 FORMULA FUNDING PROGRAMS Service Area Region Population 2007 Phoenix, Arizona 2,512,667 Dallas, Texas 2,329,500 Denver, Colorado 2,619,000 San Diego, California 2,813,833 Source: National Transit Database, 2008 Figure 3-7 illustrates the funding levels for Section 5307 Urban Area Formula funds for each of the peer regions. San Diego consistently receives higher Section 5307 funds, but the Phoenix trend line is increasing faster than other peers. Although Phoenix received the lowest award of grant funds in 2004, the region is now receiving more Section 5307 Urban Area Formula funds than Dallas and is near Denver in total formula funds received in Figure 3-6: Section 5307 Urban Area Formula Funds for Phoenix and Peer Regions $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 Grant $ (Millions) $0 Phoenix, Arizona Dallas, Texas Denver, Colorado San Diego, California Source: Federal Transit Administration, Transit service area population is from the statistic reported by each transit agency in the National Transit Database The data for the Dallas Region are specifically for the DART service area and do not include Fort Worth or Arlington, Texas.

88 Section 5309 Fixed Guideway funds are allocated by a statutory formula to urban areas with fixed guideway systems that have been in operation for at least seven years. The term fixed guideway includes heavy rail, commuter rail, light rail, monorail, trolleybus, aerial tramway, inclined plane, cable car, automated guideway transit, ferryboats, that portion of motor bus service operated on exclusive or controlled rights-of-way, and high-occupancy (HOV) vehicle lanes. Funding is apportioned based on the latest available data on route miles and revenue vehicle miles on fixed guideway segments at least seven years old. Figure 3-8 shows a comparison of the Section 5309 Fixed Guideway funds received by the Phoenix Region and each of the peers. San Diego has an extensive trolley (light rail) system that earns fixed guideway funding and explains the higher grant dollars to San Diego in this category. The light rail transit system in Denver is relatively new, but the increase in funds in 2008 reflects additional guideway miles that met the seven year criterion for funding. The Phoenix Region earns fewer funds for this funding source due to the relatively small fixed guideway investment in the region. Phoenix earns fixed guideway funding for route miles and revenue vehicle miles on HOV lanes.

Figure 3-9 shows that the Phoenix Region receives more JARC funds than the other regional peers based upon the socio-economic characteristics of the population. The Phoenix Region funding also reflects a discretionary JARC grant in Draft FY 2009 Transit Finance & Planning Research Report Page 14

90 Figure 3-11 provides a summary of the total formula funds received by the Phoenix Region and each of the peer regions for the five years 2004 through The comparison of the regions shows the Phoenix Region has received the lowest total FTA formula funds over five years but near the totals for both Dallas and Denver. San Diego has received a larger share of the formula funds, due to the advantage for Section 5309 Fixed Guideway funds. Figure 3-11: Total Formula Funds for Phoenix and Peer Regions $400 $350 $300 Grant $ (Millions) $250 $200 $150 $100 $50 $0 Phoenix, Arizona Dallas, Texas Denver, Colorado San Diego, California Source: Federal Transit Administration, Peer Comparison Discretionary Programs The two discretionary programs that will be discussed in this section are Section 5309 New Starts and Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities. Over the five years 2004 through 2008, the Phoenix Region also received Section 5339 Alternatives Analysis funds ($1.6 million in 2008); and Denver also received Section 5308 Clean Fuels funds ($2.9 million for the years 2006 through 2008). Figure 3-12 illustrates the funding levels for Section 5309 New Starts for each of the peer regions. The trend in funds reflects the schedule for construction of New Starts projects in each of the regions. For example, San Diego was constructing a new light rail corridor in the period 2004 to 2006, and Dallas started a substantial New Start project in The funding levels for the Phoenix Region reflect construction of the Central Phoenix/East Valley Light Rail (LRT) project.

96 4.0 PRELIMINARY ALTERNATIVE TLCP FINANCE STRATEGIES The TLCP includes provisions for general financing (bonding) to manage annual cash flow. The fixed route bus program bonding plan in the FY 2008 TLCP Update includes the issuance of six finance bonds for a total of $685.7 million. The estimated net cost (interest + issuance costs) of the bonds is $204.5 million. Reducing finance costs will have the effect of increasing the availability of revenues to invest in the regional transit system. In an effort to better understand the effects associated with reducing finance costs, two preliminary alternative finance scenarios have been created. 1. Eliminate Bonding pay as you go 2. Capital Facility Bonding Only limits bonding to specific capital projects and exempts vehicles and other non-facility related capital elements such as bus stops and ITS from being financed The alternatives or process to develop the alternatives are not intended to serve as a substitute for the current adopted TLCP, rather, the objective of developing the alternative TLCP finance strategies is to identify general potential impacts associated with each. Both alternatives include postponing the implementation of transit service and capital investments to better balance annual cash flow and mitigate the impacts of the projected decrease in Public Transportation Fund (PTF) sales tax revenues. A more detailed analysis of the alternative TLCP finance strategies would be necessary prior to consideration of implementing the scenarios identified herein or any other scenarios. 4.1 ADJUSTED TLCP BASE SCENARIO NO BONDING The FY 2009 TLCP Update has not been completed; therefore, the alternative scenarios are based upon general assumptions for revenues and expenditures. The following assumptions are included in each of the alternative scenarios: Removed the Regional Office Center (FY 2011 to FY 2026) and restored the value associated with the current office space annual lease cost (inflated to year of expenditure) Updated Public Transportation Fund (PTF) revenue source consistent with ADOT November 2008 sales tax estimate Adjusted FY 2008 fleet purchases based on estimated regional fleet acquisitions Adjusted federal revenues to be consistent with fleet purchases (80% federal participation assumed) Removed all previous bonding assumptions Adjusted reimbursement assumptions for Tempe and West Phoenix O&M facilities based on City of Phoenix and City of Tempe reimbursement schedules provided by RPTA Updated FY 2008 actual transit service operating expenses Set FY 2008 contingencies for operations, vehicles and capital facilities to $0 Incorporating the basic assumptions described above results in a net balance of $33.9 million in year 2026 for the fixed route bus program. While the final net balance is positive, the annual cash balance is negative for FY 2009 through FY Figure 4-1 summarizes the estimated net yearly deficit\surplus and cumulative balance. The lowest net TLCP balance, -$256.1 million, is projected to occur in year The negative net annual balances occur due to the removal of bonding assumptions and a reduction in projected PTF revenues. The reduction in Draft FY 2009 Transit Finance & Planning Research Report Page 22

97 projected PTF revenues is equal to a -$386.4 million difference over the life of the TLCP compared to the ADOT FY 2007 estimate. An annual operating and capital cash flow table is included in the Appendix. ($millions) $100.0 $50.0 $0.0 -$50.0 -$ $ $ $ $ Figure 4-1: Adjusted TLCP Base Scenario Financial Summary Source: Regional Public Transportation Authority, SCENARIO 1 ELIMINATE BONDING Fiscal Year Net Yearly Surplus\Deficit Cumulative Balance Scenario 1 assumes an elimination of bonding through a pay-as-you-go philosophy. This scenario eliminates bonding entirely but retains all of the public transit services and capital investments identified in the RTP through shifting programmed implementation dates. The estimated final TLCP balance in Scenario 1 is sufficient to restore funding for capital facility investments delayed in the FY 2008 TLCP Update. These investments include the Phoenix Dial-a-Ride O&M facility, Vanpool O&M Facility and the Rural O&M Facility Assumptions Based on the current sales tax revenue estimates it is assumed that action will be necessary to ensure a positive cumulative cash balance in the current fiscal year (2009). This scenario does not attempt to produce a positive net cumulative balance in the current fiscal year, but identifies potential actions to ensure future positive annual cash flow and increase the net cumulative balance. It is assumed that actions will be necessary to ensure a positive cumulative balance at the end of FY 2009; however, this issue will be addressed through a separate process. For this alternative scenario, the net cumulative balance at the end of FY 2009 was manually adjusted to represent a value of $0. Additional detailed assumptions for this scenario follow.

All of the elements of the RTP are retained and it is estimated that enough revenue will be available in the final years of the 20-year program to restore O&M facility projects previously postponed to a year outside of the TLCP. The postponement schedule defined for this scenario should not be considered insignificant. To ensure adequate annual cash flow and mitigate the impacts of reduced revenues (PTF sales tax) most planned bus routes are delayed by two years. Figure 4-1 illustrates the estimated net yearly deficit\surplus and cumulative balance. The cumulative balance in the current fiscal year (2009) is shown as a negative value in the TLCP Adjusted Base Scenario; however, it is assumed that the cumulative balance will be corrected through a separate process before the end of the fiscal year. The net yearly surplus\balance is much more stable than in the adjusted TLCP base scenario. In several years of the program annual deficits occur, but their impact is offset by the cumulative balance. In the last three years of the TLCP, the cumulative balance is estimated to grow from $.9 million in 2023 to $60.7 million in An annual operating and capital cash flow table is included in the Appendix.

101 4.3 SCENARIO 2 CAPITAL FACILITY BONDING ONLY Scenario 2 is a limited finance alternative that retains an option to bond for capital investments only. Bonding is limited to transit centers, park-and-ride facilities, O&M facilities and dedicated BRT right-of-way investments. Consistent with Scenario1, it is assumed that revenues generated from the PTF (sales tax) will be significantly less than the revenues estimated in the FY 2008 TLCP Update. The availability revenues will require postponing transit service and capital investments and limit the funds available to be allocated to finance costs Assumptions Unlike Scenario 1, this alternative includes an option to finance (bond) the expenditures associated with capital investments. The estimated FY 2009 deficit is addressed through issuing a bond in the current fiscal year. To ensure adequate annual cash flow balances, transit service and capital investments are postponed. The detailed assumptions included in this alternative finance scenario are listed below.

The total bonding cost is estimated to be $54.4 million. The final estimated program balance ($60.7 million) is sufficient to restore funding for capital facility investments delayed in the FY 2008 TLCP Update. These investments include the Phoenix Dial-a-Ride O&M facility, Vanpool O&M Facility and the Rural O&M Facility.

117 Executive Summary WHY A SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) identifies those regional transit service and capital improvements programmed in the Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) during the next five years (Fiscal Years [FY] 2008/09 to 2013/14). The SRTP provides support for regional transit projects contained in the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Transportation Plan (MAG RTP). Objectives of the SRTP include: documenting transit service performance from the previous fiscal year; maintaining an inventory of the region s transit capital infrastructure; and, identifying considerations for service adjustments and capital facility needs based on the programmed regional transit investments identified in the RTP and TLCP. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE REGION? The 2005 population 1 for the MAG region is estimated to be nearly 3.7 million. By 2020, overall population is anticipated to rise about 42%. The largest increases are expected to occur in the outlying areas of Maricopa County; however, in terms of absolute population, more than half of the 2020 population is projected to live near the core of the urbanized area in locations such as Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, and Tempe. Employment in Maricopa County in 2005 was estimated at 1.7 million. A nearly 60% increase is anticipated by 2020 with the highest employment growth rates also anticipated to occur in outlying areas. Major characteristics of passengers 2 using the region s transit system include: 80% of passengers live in households with four or fewer individuals 71% of passengers have an annual household income of $35,000 or less 51% of passengers live in households with no vehicles 71% of passengers are employed and 27% are students WHAT TRANSIT SERVICES AND FACILITIES ARE PROVIDED IN THE REGION? Transit Services A summary of services currently provided in the region is presented in Table ES-1. Figures ES-1 and ES-2 display the local, express, and RAPID bus routes. Table ES-2 is an Annual Efficiency and Effectiveness Report Card that compares the major FY 2007 performance features (boardings, revenues, operating costs, and farebox recovery ratio) with regional targets. 1 Source: Maricopa Association of Governments, Socioeconomic Projections of Population, Housing, & Employment by Municipal Planning Areas and Regional Analysis Zones, May Source: Valley Metro/Regional Public Transportation Authority 2007 Origin-Destination Survey, Draft Final Report, Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 1

122 Executive Summary Capital Facilities Transit capital facilities support daily transit operations. The region s inventory of transit infrastructure includes passenger facilities such as transit centers, park-and-rides and bus stops. In addition, other capital facilities such as maintenance and operations centers aren t directly utilized by passengers, but provide vital functions that ensure service quality and reliability.

123 Executive Summary WHAT REGIONAL TRANSIT INVESTMENTS ARE PLANNED IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS? Planned Regionally Funded Transit Services Regional transit service investments planned for implementation in the next five years include a full range of transit modes. New Supergrid routes, express bus routes, arterial Bus Rapid Transit service and an extension to the region s light rail line will be implemented to serve growing demand for public transportation alternatives. Several key facts about the planned regional transit operations investments between FY 2009 and FY 2014 are identified below: 13 supergrid routes, 12 express/brt routes, and one light rail extension are included as improvements. Of these, one supergrid route, six express/brt routes, and the light rail extension are totally new services. Regional funding of the supergrid services will provide weekday peak period frequencies of 15 minutes and off-peak frequencies of 30 minutes during the off-peak for all but three of the routes. Eight bus routes (three supergrid and five express/brt) were programmed to be regionally funded beginning in FY Six routes were implemented in July However, three express routes were implemented at a service level below that identified in the Transit Life Cycle Program Update (TLCP). Two of the express routes will be funded at full service levels in December 2008 when the LRT starter line opens. Full implementation of the third route (Papago Freeway Connector operated as the Goodyear Express ) is being delayed until a park-and-ride facility is available in Buckeye. Chapter 5 of the SRTP provides detailed initial planning considerations for each of the routes programmed for regional funding through FY Examples of considerations identified in the SRTP include: Consider re-organizing existing local services where the implementation of new regionally funded bus routes will result in service duplications or where new transit connections will be provided Consider retaining short-term use capital infrastructure, such as an interim park-and-ride facility, necessary to support new regionally funded transit services Table ES-4 provides a summary of the planned transit operations investments by initial fiscal year of regional funding.

Improvements include expansion and/or rehabilitation of two transit centers and two operations and maintenance facilities. Several of the facilities programmed in the FY 2008 TLCP Update for implementation in FY 2008 have been delayed to FY Six transit facility improvements are programmed to open in FY 2009, including some of those delayed from FY All six of the facilities programmed for completion in FY 2009 will not be open for service until at least FY Planned Regionally Funded Fixed Route Vehicle Acquisitions A total of 169 fixed route service vehicles are programmed for services planned to be implemented through FY The fixed route fleet acquired in FY 2008 and FY 2009 was 34 less than that identified in the TLCP. A benefit of acquiring fewer vehicles includes long-term savings through reducing future replacement vehicle requirements. Table ES-7 summarizes the planned acquisition of fixed route transit vehicles to replace existing rolling stock and support new fixed route service expansion. The acquisition year identified in the table corresponds with the year that the vehicle will be put into service; however, vehicles are generally purchased in the previous fiscal year. For example, if a vehicle is programmed to go into service in FY 2010, it will be purchased during FY Table ES-7: Planned Regional Fixed Route Expansion and Replacement Vehicles Fiscal Year For Acquisition Number Vehicles Total 169 Source: RPTA, Funding subject to change based on annual budget. 4 FY 2009 balance reflects bus stop funds unspent since start of TLCP.

126 Executive Summary Planning Considerations for Regionally Funded Transit Investments Specific initial planning considerations for each of the regionally funded improvements are identified in Chapter 5 of this plan. The planning considerations range from providing adequate capacity for vehicles at transit facilities to retaining interim passenger parking capacity for new transit services. Transit Planning Process Recommendations The SRTP includes recommendations to guide the regional transit planning process. Recommendations include implementing thresholds for identifying when a regionally funded transit service is eligible for frequency adjustments (to exceed the programmed regional funding budget) and additional planning studies that the RPTA may wish to consider. Service Level Thresholds The service planning process for implementation of new transit services and capital facilities should be launched at the completion of each year s SRTP update. This timeline provides an opportunity to utilize the transit service and capital considerations identified in the annual SRTP update to initiate the planning process and improve integration of local and regional transit planning efforts. A measurable process should be employed to determine when a regionally funded bus route has reached a performance level that warrants improved service frequency (not to exceed the programmed regional funding budget). It is recommended that the process integrate the following RPTA adopted efficiency and effectiveness performance targets and regional service level standards: o Must meet or exceed 2.1 passenger boardings per revenue mile or o Have three or more consecutively sequenced trips that regularly (at least 3 of 5 weekdays for the same trip for a period of 6 consecutive or non-consecutive months within a 12 month period) exceed the applicable passenger bus load standard: - Local bus = 125% - Express bus = 100% o If overcrowding (exceeding the applicable load standard) occurs on less than three consecutive trips, schedule or vehicle assignment adjustments should be considered before implementing additional service. Additional Planning Studies o Service Thresholds for Regionally Funded Services and Facilities. In addition to the thresholds identified herein for improving regionally funded bus route service frequency, other thresholds should be developed. The thresholds should apply to other service types (e.g., arterial BRT, LRT, etc.) and other service parameters as well as facilities (park-andrides, transit centers, etc.). Thresholds may provide regional benefits such as a more efficient regional transit system, which will increase the likelihood of positive results from mandatory efficiency and effectiveness audits. o Regional Transit Safety and Security Implementation Plan. This study would prioritize implementation of strategic measures identified in the Regional Safety and Security Plan (November 2006). The 2006 plan identifies potential safety and security vulnerabilities but does not provide a prioritized schedule for implementing the identified mitigation measures.

127 Executive Summary o Comprehensive Regional Bus Stop Inventory. The region s last comprehensive bus stop inventory was completed in An up to date and comprehensive regional bus stop inventory will provide more accurate and reliable information for on-going regional and local planning activities as well as for passenger uses such as the on-line trip planner. Transit Funding Based on the estimated sources of revenues and programmed expenditures through FY 2013/14 there are several years that expenditures exceed revenues. Many regional transit service and capital investments are dependent upon the ability to maintain adequate cash flow to be implemented as identified in this plan. The TLCP includes financing through the issuance of bonds to maintain positive cash flows. Based on the FY 2008 TLCP Update, two bus program bond issuances valued at $180.2 million and $183.1 million were planned for FY 2008/09 and FY 2012/13 respectively to provide a positive annual cash flow through the period identified in this plan. The HCT program has a separate financing strategy to address cash fro these projects. Changes in the level of estimated revenues or expenditures could either positively or negatively affect the programmed implementation schedules and scope of the projects identified herein. Through the annual TLCP update process, estimates for short and long range revenues and expenditures are reviewed to determine the financial fitness of the regional transit program. Appropriate finance strategies and other actions are considered annually to maintain a reasonable and sustainable finance plan. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 11

128 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.0 SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN INTRODUCTION This Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) proposes transit service and capital improvements for implementation in Fiscal Years (FY) 2008/09 to 2013/14. In addition, the plan evaluates existing service, costs, and trends based on past performance and identifies current and projected funding levels and revenue sources. This report provides substantial transit-related input into the transportation improvements identified in MAG s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The plan also serves as an important resource guide for anyone interested in transit in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The report is organized as follows: Chapter 1, Introduction Purpose of the SRTP; RPTA/Valley Metro and member cities background information; transit funding initiatives, relationship to other plans; regional demographics; transit passenger characteristics; and transit and equity. Chapter 2, Transit Service Evaluation Service goals and standards of fixed route service as well as a presentation of the performance and service characteristics for each transit mode. Chapter 3, Existing Transit Capital Infrastructure Passenger and support facilities; maintenance and operations facilities; roadway enhancements; and regional transit fleet. Chapter 4, Transportation Demand Management Important characteristics of the regional rideshare and trip reduction programs. Chapter 5, Regionally Funded Short Range Transit Improvements presents the current operations and capital improvements over the next five years and discussion of mode, corridor, and area specific studies and system-based studies that are on-going and planned for completion in the short range. Chapter 6, Regional Transit Funding presents the current capital and operating revenue sources and amounts and projections over the next five years as well as the transit life cycle plan operating capital and administration budgets. The SRTP is produced by Valley Metro/Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) on behalf of the MAG member cities and organizations: Apache Junction, Arizona Department of Transportation, Avondale, Buckeye, Carefree, Citizens Transportation Oversight Committee, Chandler, El Mirage, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Fountain Hills, Gila Bend, Gila River Indian Community, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Guadalupe, Litchfield Park, Maricopa County, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Peoria, Phoenix, Queen Creek, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Scottsdale, Surprise, Tempe, Tolleson, Wickenburg, and Youngtown. Note that funding for public transportation comes from a variety of local, regional, and federal sources. Some sources are dedicated solely to transportation, so funding projections can be fairly reliable; however, the future of funding from other sources remains uncertain. As a result, this report is intended to be as flexible as possible to accommodate change. Projects may be shifted from one year to another or eliminated completely, depending on the availability of funding for transit programs. Nothing herein should be assumed to commit the appropriation of funds by any level of government. While every attempt has been made to present a transit program of reasonable expectations, realization of future programs and projects is entirely subject to future appropriations by local, state, and federal governments.

129 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.1 REGIONAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY/VALLEY METRO AND MEMBER CITIES BACKGROUND AND TRANSIT FUNDING INITIATIVES The history of creation of RPTA and major public transit milestones as well as transit funding initiatives in the Valley are summarized in Table 1-1. Public transit in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area is comprised of several systems where much of the service is planned and operated by local cities. The cities of Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe provide for fixed route service in their jurisdictions. The RPTA often assists other communities with planning and operating service. Many fixed routes cross municipal boundaries; therefore, intergovernmental agreements have been developed among neighboring communities to jointly provide this service. Paratransit (or Dial-a-Ride [DAR]) services are provided individually by the following cities: El Mirage, Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix, Sun Cities, and Surprise. Residents wishing to cross municipal boundaries must transfer to the other city s DAR service to complete the trip. On the other hand, the communities of Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Tempe coordinate, manage, and fund the East Valley DAR which allows residents to travel beyond the boundaries of their individual communities. RPTA also funds a successful vanpool program in partnership with area employers. In addition, Valley Metro Rail (METRO) is nearing completion of construction of the first 20 miles of light rail transit (LRT) and will serve the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa. LRT operations are scheduled to begin in late December RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS The SRTP provides a description of current operating and capital conditions and also forecasts operating and capital plans for the next five years. This report incorporates public transit plans from several sources and in turn feeds into other regional plans. Plans that feed into the SRTP include the transit element of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), RPTA s Master Facilities Plan, local area transportation plans, and the Performance Management Analysis System (PMAS) Report. The Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) feeds into the SRTP, and the SRTP then feeds into the next TLCP. The SRTP identifies near term regional transit service and capital facility implementation considerations for regional transit projects contained in the MAG RTP and RPTA s TLCP. 1.3 REGIONAL DEMOGRAPHICS Maricopa County is composed of 25 cities and towns and three Indian communities. MAG s 2005 population estimate for the county is nearly 3.7 million (Table 1-2). Overall population is expected to rise about 42% by The largest increases are anticipated to occur in the outlying areas of the county in municipalities such as Buckeye, Goodyear, Queen Creek and Surprise. In terms of absolute population, more than half of the 2020 population is projected to live near the heart of the urbanized area of the county in locations such as Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, and Tempe. Employment in the county is expected to increase at a higher rate than population (or almost 60%) by Employment is anticipated to increase in all areas; however, the highest employment growth rates are anticipated in outlying areas such as Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Gila Bend, Gilbert, Goodyear, Peoria, Queen Creek, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, and Surprise.

130 Chapter 1 - Introduction Year 1985 Initiative Passed? Table 1-1: Public Transit Milestones Event Maricopa County voters approved Proposition 300, which created a half-cent sales tax to fund freeway construction and provide $5 million (inflated annually) as seed money for development of regional transit service. The proposition also created RPTA and allowed RPTA to receive RARF funding through RPTA s mission was to develop a regional transit plan, find dedicated transit funding sources, and develop and operate a regional transit system The first regional transit plan, Valtrans, was proposed to be funded by a half-cent sales tax dedicated solely to transit. The initiative failed because many voters believed the plan was too big and expensive N/A Scottsdale passed a dedicated transportation sales tax to help fund transit projects in their community. RPTA Board adopted Valley Metro as identity for the regional transit system to give buses a more recognizable identity and help unify public transit services in the Valley County voters defeated a proposition for a half-cent sales tax for emergency funding for freeway construction and an additional quarter-cent sales tax for transit to implement a regional bus system and conduct rail-transit studies. Most voters indicated they wanted transit and freeway funding to be kept separate and, while they were in favor of the proposed transit plans, they were opposed to tax increases Tempe passed a dedicated half-cent transit sales tax to help fund bus improvements and a rail study in their community. Many indicated that Tempe needs public transit and should lead the way in improving air quality and relieving traffic congestion Phoenix voters narrowly defeated a half-cent sales tax that would have provided a number of transit improvements Scottsdale voters defeated the Transit Plus Plan to relieve congestion in Scottsdale Mesa passed a quality-of-life sales tax. Portions of this tax are used to generate transportation funds State legislature provided transit funding through HB 2565 by allocating a portion of vehicle license tax revenues to the Local Transportation Assistance Fund (LTAF) for distribution to cities, town, and counties. ADOT also allocates secondary LTAF funds from sale of multi-state and bingo lottery tickets up to $18 million per year in proportion to each county s population Chandler residents did not approve a 3/8 cent Transportation Improvement Program which included a transit component. State legislature extended HB 2565 (1998) and modified it with SB This is known as LTAF II. LTAF II is still in effect. Phoenix passed a 0.4-cent dedicated transportation sales tax to help fund transit projects included in the Transit 2000 Plan for bus and light rail. Glendale passed a dedicated transportation sales tax to help fund transit projects in their community. Maricopa County voters approved Proposition 400, reauthorizing the half-cent sales tax passed in Proposition 400 extended the tax to 2025 and increased the amount of funding for public transportation from about 2% to more than 33% of total sales tax revenues (or approximately $2.8 billion over the 20 year life of the RTP). These local funds, expected to be matched by Federal transit funds, are to provide a range of bus and light rail transit improvements. Among the improvements include: A Supergrid fixed route bus system providing consistent levels of service throughout the region; Bus rapid transit (BRT) service on the region s freeway network and selected arterials; More than 27 miles of light rail transit or other high capacity transit route extensions to the 30 miles being funded from other sources. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 13

131 Chapter 1 - Introduction Table 1-2: Population and Employment ( ) The remainder of this section focuses on those demographic groups that tend to be more transit dependent than the general population. Figure 1-1 displays the concentrations in the county where people aged 60 and older live. According to the 2000 Census, the average in the county is persons per square mile. Higher concentrations live generally along a wide diagonal band stretching from about the Loop 303 and Beardsley Road in the northwest valley to about the Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and Guadalupe Road in the southeast valley. The highest concentrations (>2,000 per square mile) live in the far northwest valley near Surprise, Sun City, Youngtown, and Peoria and in the far southeast valley near east Mesa. This is not surprising given the numbers of age-restricted communities found in these outlying portions of the valley. Figure 1-2 shows areas where people with disabilities live. The county average is 94.2 residents with a disability per square mile (according to the 2000 Census). The map indicates that these residents live in higher concentrations almost everywhere throughout the county, with the exception of the northeast, far north, far west, southwest, and far south portions of the county. The highest concentrations (>3,000 per square mile) reside mostly in the following areas: 1) Generally in the area near I-10 from 75 th Avenue to SR 51 in Phoenix; 2) Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 14

132 Chapter 1 - Introduction Southeastern portion of Glendale; 3) Vicinity of I-17 from Thomas Road to Glendale Avenue in Phoenix; and 4) East and central Mesa in an area roughly bounded by Loop 101, University Drive, Greenfield Road, and Southern Avenue. Locations of high concentrations (>50% of a census tract) of minority populations are presented in Figure 1-3. Minority population is defined as the 2000 Census total population minus white not of hispanic origin population. With the exception of three Native American communities that are located mainly in the outer portions of the region, most minorities live in the central, southern, and southwestern portions of Maricopa County. Table 1-3 shows the languages spoken at home by numbers of people living in the State of Arizona, Maricopa County, and the MAG member agencies. Nearly ¼ of the county s population speaks a language other than English at home, according to the 2000 Census. The largest numbers of those speaking other languages, by far, reside in the City of Phoenix (388,445). Other municipalities with large numbers of people speaking languages other than English in their homes include: 1) Mesa (68,629); 2) Glendale (45,818); 3) Chandler (35,359); and 4) Tempe (32,092). Figure 1-4 displays locations of families per square mile living in poverty in the Maricopa Region according to the 2000 Census. The average number of families per square mile in the county is The map indicates that the areas with higher concentrations of low-income households than the county as a whole are generally located in the central portion of the county; however, there are numerous instances of these households in the east, west, and south sections of the county. The highest concentrations of families living in poverty (>400 per square mile) are generally in three areas: 1) Vicinity of the I-10 freeway between about 67 th Avenue and the SR- 51 freeway; 2) Near the Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) from approximately the SR-51 freeway to 48 th Street; and 3) Vicinity of the I-17 freeway between about Thomas and Bethany Home Roads. It is important to note that, according to the MAG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), 2007 Update, the transit improvements listed in the plan serve 97% of low-income communities in the region compared to only 88% of non-low income communities. 1.4 TRANSIT PASSENGER CHARACTERISTICS According to an origin/destination survey conducted in 2007 by RPTA 5, the following major characteristics of riders using the system were noted: 80% live in a household with four or fewer individuals. 71% have a household income of $35,000 or less. 51% reside in a household with no vehicle. This compares to 6% of the general population households having no vehicle. 71% are employed (52% work full time and 19% work part time); 27% are students. Trips destination breakdown: 37% home; 27% work; 7% shopping. Ridership by mode: 97% local bus; 1.2% express bus; and 1.8% RAPID bus. 5 Valley Metro/Regional Public Transportation Authority 2007 Origin-Destination Survey Draft Final Report, Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 15

134 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1.5 TRANSIT AND EQUITY The basic principles of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Executive Order on Environmental Justice involve: Preventing or lessening effects on minority populations and low-income populations. Ensuring public involvement by all communities affected by the transportation decisionmaking process. Ensuring that benefits are not concentrated in one area or population. Title VI states: No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Executive Order states: Each Federal agency shall make achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and lowincome populations. Public transit complies with Title VI and Executive Order by making sure that investments and changes benefit all populations equally, preventing and lessening the effects on minority and low-income populations, and involving minority and low-income populations in the public input process. Valley Metro complies with these principles. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 17

137 Chapter 2 Transit Service Evaluation 2.0 TRANSIT SERVICE EVALUATION Public transportation services in the region are provided through interagency cooperation and coordination. Transit planning, operations, and capital acquisition are the joint responsibility of many separate agencies and municipalities in the region. The Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) helps to coordinate these activities. This chapter includes a summary of the regional transit system describing the performance characteristics of each mode. Table 2-1 reflects the FY 2007 performance statistics for the system as a whole (all modes). This chapter also includes service goals and standards, a description of the service characteristics, performance statistics, and a vehicle inventory for the fixed route, shuttle/circulator, dial-a-ride, regional connector, and vanpool services provided in the region.

A comparison of major ridership, financial, and other major statistics for the five-year period FY 2003-FY 2007 is shown in Table 2-2. Over the five-year period, boardings and passenger revenues increased about 15% and 38%, respectively. However, operating costs increased nearly 24% in the same period. This resulted in an approximate 14% decrease in the farebox recovery ratio. The farebox recovery ratio is the percentage of operating costs covered by passenger revenues. For more detailed information, refer to Appendix A 2007 System Data for performance data by jurisdiction, by mode, by paratransit system and by individual fixed route. Appendix B 1995 to 2007 System Data presents various performance data by mode over a 13 year period. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 20

There were sixty-five (65) local, seventeen (17) express and four (4) RAPID routes operated throughout the region on weekdays (see Figures 2-1 and 2-2). Weekday hours vary considerably, but most local routes operate from about 5:00 am to about 10:00 pm. Many of the most popular routes operate to midnight and even 1:00 am. Express and RAPID service operate during peak hours on weekdays only. Most local routes operate on weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays throughout most of the region. Weekend hours of service also vary by route, but are generally somewhat reduced from the weekday level. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 21

142 Chapter 2 Transit Service Evaluation Funding Sources Funding for these routes is provided by Avondale, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sun City, Surprise, Tempe, Tolleson and the Regional Public Transportation Authority. The Cities of Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix and Tempe each have some form of dedicated sales tax for public transportation. Most of these communities are using general funds to support transit services. Some State funding is also available for transit through the Local Transportation Assistance Fund (LTAF II). The LTAF II funding is in the form of multistate lottery game and instant bingo game monies along with a portion of the State Highway Fund's Vehicle License Tax monies. The State distributes the funds to the Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and cities, towns and counties not represented by a RPTA or MPO. RPTA receives a portion of the 0.5% Maricopa County sales tax for transportation approved by voters in November The City of Avondale is designated by the federal government as a small urbanized area and receives some federal assistance for transit operations Private Contractors During FY 2007, these local and express routes were provided by five private contractors. These five private transit operators are under contract to the City of Phoenix, the City of Tempe and the Regional Public Transportation Authority and provide service throughout the region. Many routes are funded by multiple government agencies, usually based on the miles of service provided in each jurisdiction. The City of Phoenix contracts with Veolia Phoenix and First Transit for fixed route service. The RPTA has a service contract with Veolia RPTA, and the City of Tempe contracts with Veolia Tempe Comparison of Fixed Route Performance Data A comparison of major data for fixed route service is displayed in Table 2-4 for FY 2003, 2006, and In FY 2007, RPTA began reporting shuttle/circulator and rural connector data in with fixed route service. So, to provide an equal comparison, these two modes were also combined in the other FY data as applicable. Note that rural connector service did not begin until March 2005 during FY Between FY 2006 and 2007, fixed route boardings decreased slightly (1.1%). However, boardings increased about 15% since FY Revenues increased about 16% and 38%, respectively, in the one- and five-year periods of comparison. Operating costs decreased nearly 15% between FY 2006 and FY 2007; however, these costs increased almost 23% over the previous five years. This all resulted in the farebox recovery ratio increasing slightly more than 6% in the one-year period and about 3.0% during the five-year period of comparison. Appendix C Trends provides annual boardings, revenue miles of service provided, and boardings per mile from 1985 to The increase in transit service and the resulting increases in ridership over the years are clearly apparent. Not all data for FY 2008 is available at the time of preparation of this SRTP. However, Table 2-5 provides available statistics on boardings and revenue miles for FY Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 25

The City of Glendale had 5 vehicles; the City of Phoenix operated 488 vehicles; the City of Tempe had 91 vehicles; and the Regional Public Transportation Authority had 157 vehicles available to provide fixed route service Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Service The Regional Transit Plan calls for arterial bus rapid transit service in several corridors. The first corridor will be Main Street in Mesa from Superstition Springs Mall Transit Center and Parkand-Ride to the east end of line light rail station at Sycamore and Main Street. This new type of service will have a separate identity known as LINK Bus Service. It will be provided by new articulated buses with a different paint scheme to identify it as a connection (or LINK ) to light rail service. To provide faster service, LINK buses will stop less often, approximately once every mile. On weekdays the service will be operated every 15 minutes during peak hours, and every 30 minutes during off-peak hours. Service will be available from about 4:30 am to approximately 10:30 pm. The service will also operate on Saturdays and Sundays. Implementation of this Mesa Main Street LINK service is scheduled to begin December 2008 concurrent with the opening of the light rail starter line. Future corridors for this type of service include Arizona Avenue, Chandler Boulevard, South Central Avenue and Scottsdale/Rural Road. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 27

145 Chapter 2 Transit Service Evaluation 2.3 HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT Light rail transit (LRT) will begin revenue operations in late December Valley Metro Rail (METRO) is the regional agency responsible for construction and operation of this high capacity mode of transit. The initial LRT segment will operate a total of 20 miles through the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa. Headways (frequencies) of train service on opening day will be: Weekdays: Weekends: 4:00 AM 6:00 AM 20 minutes 5:00 AM 7:00 AM 30 minutes 6:00 AM 8:00 PM 10 minutes 7:00 AM 8:00 PM 15 minutes 8:00 PM midnight 20 minutes 8:00 PM 1:00 AM 20 minutes The 20-year RTP includes an additional 57 miles of high capacity transit in six corridors planned to connect with the initial system: Northwest Central Mesa Tempe South Glendale I-10 West Northeast Phoenix Figure 2-4 displays the initial LRT alignment as well as future high capacity transit corridors and scheduled opening dates. A detailed schedule for completion of the corridors included in the RTP is presented in Figure SHUTTLE AND CIRCULATOR Several cities provide shuttle services (usually in their downtown areas) and / or neighborhood circulator service. The City of Phoenix operates DASH in the downtown and State Capitol area, and ALEX, a neighborhood circulator in the Ahwatukee/Desert Foothills area. The City of Tempe provides FLASH Forward and Back and FLASH to University in the downtown Tempe and Arizona State University area. Tempe also provides the Neighborhood FLASH connecting the Escalante and University Heights neighborhoods with the Riverside/Sunset and Lindon Park neighborhoods through the downtown Tempe/Arizona State University area. The City of Glendale operates GUS I, GUS II, and GUS III in the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Glendale. The City of Scottsdale operates the Scottsdale Neighborhood Connector and the Scottsdale Trolley in and around downtown Scottsdale. All of these shuttle/neighborhood circulators are free except for Glendale s GUS services which charge a $0.25 fare. Beginning in FY 2007, RPTA combined shuttle and circulator service data with the fixed route service data, so performance information about these services is included in Table 2-4. Data for the individual shuttle and circulator routes is shown in Appendix A 2007 System Data. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 28

147 Chapter 2 Transit Service Evaluation 2.5 REGIONAL CONNECTORS The Regional Public Transportation Authority provides two Regional Connector services. Route 660 Wickenburg Connector provides service between Wickenburg and Arrowhead Towne Center in Glendale, and Route 685 Gila Bend Regional Connector providing service between Ajo, Gila Bend, Buckeye and the Desert Sky Mall in Phoenix. Beginning in FY 2007, RPTA combined regional connector service data with the fixed route service data. Please refer to Appendix A 2007 System Data for performance information on the regional connectors. 2.6 PARATRANSIT There are ten different paratransit systems in the region with a variety of service characteristics and eligibility criteria. Some are open to the general public, some serve only elderly and persons with disabilities and other paratransit systems are only available to Americans With Disabilities Act eligible persons only. Table 2-6 presents the major statistics for paratransit, or Dial-a-Ride, services in the region for FY 2003, 2006, and Some FY 2007 data was not collected on a systemwide basis for paratransit, so the table includes only the available data. Many individual services in the region reported data for FY The available data by specific service is included in Appendix A. Paratransit boardings decreased almost 2% between FY 2006 and FY 2007 and about 10% between FY 2003 and FY At the same time, operating costs increased about 10% and 26% over the same periods, respectively. Passenger revenues decreased slightly (less than 1%) over the previous year, and also decreased about 3.5% over the previous five-year period. The farebox recovery ratio remained fairly steady with a 0.5% decrease from the previous year, and an almost 1% decrease compared to FY VANPOOL Vanpools are organized rideshare arrangements, much like large carpools, in which 6-15 riders who have similar origins and destinations collectively agree to commute in a single vehicle. Vehicles for this type of service may be owned or leased by one of the commuters in the group, a company, or by a third party representative. In the Valley Metro Vanpool Program all vanpool vans are owned by the agency and procured using federal funding or fare returns from active vanpools. Valley Metro Vanpool Program vehicles are fully insured, and maintained full size vans which offer a reliable, safe, efficient, and economical alternative to driving alone. Valley Metro provides vans to groups of 6 15 commuters who then share in the monthly cost of the van by paying an equitable monthly fare. Valley Metro has provided vanpool services to residents and employers in Maricopa County for twenty-one years, and VPSI has served as the vanpool contractor for the majority of those years. VPSI contracts with Valley Metro to provide regional services including billing, administration, insurance, vehicle maintenance, and National Transit Database Reporting. Performance data for vanpool for fiscal years 2003, 2006, and 2007 is displayed in Table 2-7. Between FY 2006 and 2007, boardings increased nearly 12%. Between FY 2003 and 2007 boardings jumped more than 50%. In addition, operating costs climbed nearly 7% in the same one year period and about 23% during the previous five years. However, comparatively Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 30

148 Chapter 2 Transit Service Evaluation speaking, revenues rose at a much higher rate than operating costs with an almost 14% increase in one year and a nearly 73% increase during the previous five years. This resulted in a farebox recovery ratio that by FY 2006 was more than 107% and by FY 2007 had grown to 115%.

150 Chapter 4 Transportation Demand Management 3.0 EXISTING TRANSIT CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE The provision of transit service in an area that is nearly square miles (.75 mile buffer for ADA service area) requires the acquisition, development and maintenance of appropriate capital infrastructure. Such infrastructure is not limited to vehicles, but also includes passenger facilities, maintenance facilities, and specific roadway enhancements. In an effort to assist in the identification of future capital needs, this chapter identifies the region s existing capital infrastructure and quantifies its utilization. 3.1 PASSENGER AND SUPPORT FACILITIES On-Street Passenger Facilities The August 8 th, 2008 update of the Regional Bus Stop Database administered by the City of Phoenix reports that there are 7,480 bus stops throughout the region. 43 percent, or 3,244 of these stops include passenger shelters and 1,186 stops consist of a bench only. Recognizing that lack of bus stop shelters and other amenities can be a major disincentive to public use of the transit system, Valley Metro/RPTA and its member agencies continually work to improve these passenger facilities based on available funding. Bus stop improvements are achieved through a combination of public and private funds. These include local municipal funds, regional sales tax funds, Federal Transit Administration funds, developer fees, and advertising and bench contracts with Viacom Outdoor Systems Advertising. Advertising shelter and bench locations are developed, improved, and maintained by the individual contractor. In addition to bus stops, there are 15 designated BRT bus stops located along the Main St. corridor in Mesa and 28 LRT stops located along the light rail alignment in Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa. Both of these services will begin operating in December of Park-and-Ride Facilities Existing Park-and-Ride Facilities Region-wide, there are a total of 50 park-and-ride facilities providing 7,082 automobile spaces. Of these facilities, 20 are publicly owned and operated. The remaining 30 park-and-ride facilities are joint-use. The joint use facilities have an informal agreement with private property owners and are established for shared parking arrangements. Recognizing that long term access to shared use facilities based on informal agreements is problematic, Valley Metro/RPTA and its members have undertaken the development of publicly owned regional park-and-ride lots. These lots, which are identified in the MAG Park & Ride Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), will be developed over the next twenty years and will be supported by the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and express bus networks identified in the RTP. Table 3-1 identifies the existing facilities, including the location, capacity (when available), and routes served, while Figure 3-1 illustrates the location of publicly owned existing and planned park-and-rides. Planned Park-and-Ride Facilities A total of 19 park-and-ride facilities are planned and identified in Table 3-2. Figure 3-1 depicts the location of existing and planned park-and-ride facilities.

Eleven transit centers are currently operated in the region, and four additional LRT transit centers will begin operation in December of The amenities and services available at each transfer facility vary, with a majority of the facilities in the region providing services such as public transit information kiosks, the sale of fare media, and other relevant customer services. Table 3-3 provides specific information about each transfer facility and major park-and-ride. Figure 3-2 illustrates the locations of existing and planned transit center facilities. Planned Transit Centers The RTP as well as transportation plans from the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Glendale were reviewed to identify future transit centers within the region. A total of twelve future transit centers are identified as shown in Table 3-4. Figure 3-2 illustrates the future transit centers in the MAG region. 3.2 MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS FACILITIES Transit operations and maintenance (O&M) facilities are essential public assets that support the delivery of transit services. These facilities serve multiple purposes including functioning as operating bases, vehicle service and fueling centers, employee training centers and administrative offices. O&M facilities are often designed to meet the specialized needs of the services that the facilities are planned to support Existing Publicly Owned Transit Only Operations and Maintenance Facilities Dedicated publicly owned transit O&M facilities provide long term operating efficiencies through reduced local cost of ownership. Capital development funds available through the Federal Transit Administration s formula and discretionary grant programs can be leveraged to fund a significant portion of the capital costs associated with constructing dedicated transit O&M facilities. By owning a facility funded through federal tax revenues, a local community can reduce fixed operating costs associated with facility leasing. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 37

There are five regional publicly owned fixed route/demand response facilities and one light rail transit (LRT) facility (Table 3-5 and Figure 3-3). These facilities are dedicated to serve transit operations and do not support other fleet operations such as municipal public works fleet vehicles. The existing O&M facilities within the region have been strategically located to provide reasonable operating efficiencies. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 42

160 Chapter 4 Transportation Demand Management Planned Operations and Maintenance Facilities To support the planned expansion of the regional transit system as outlined in the RTP, two additional dedicated O&M facilities are planned and funded. These facilities include a new regional heavy maintenance facility and a new fixed route bus facility. Additionally, funding is identified in the RTP for regional O&M facility upgrades at two facilities: Phoenix South Division and RPTA Mesa (includes funding for upgrades to the fixed route and demand response sections of the facility). Funding for three other facilities were originally identified in the RTP to support regional rural bus service, vanpool service and Phoenix Dial-a-Ride. These facilities have been eliminated or postponed to a year outside of the regional Transit Life Cycle Program (multi-year implementation plan for transit component of the RTP). In addition, the RTP includes a new light rail O&M facility; however, the programmed year for completion has not been determined. Table 3-6 shows the planned O&M facilities.

In some places, such as I-10, Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 44

162 Chapter 4 Transportation Demand Management the HOV lanes were built concurrently with the original general purpose lanes. On other freeways, HOV lanes have been added after the general purpose lanes opened. As an example, HOV lanes were retrofitted to portions of I-17 (Black Canyon Highway), the oldest freeway in Maricopa County. Currently, segments of I-10, I-17, SR-51, US-60 and SR-202 have one HOV lane in each direction, located to the inside of the general traffic lanes and marked with regulatory signs and painted diamonds. The HOV lanes are restricted to vehicles with two or more occupants during peak hours: Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Motorcycles, certain alternative-fueled vehicles and a limited number of hybrid vehicles are also permitted to use the lanes at all times. During off-peak hours, HOV lanes are open to all vehicles. Figure 3-4 shows the existing and planned HOV facilities in addition to the arterial bus queue jumper locations. Figure 3-4: HOV Facilities and Queue Jumpers HOV lanes are intended to encourage carpooling\vanpooling and bus ridership. Many existing express and freeway BRT routes use the lanes, and more will do so as they come on line during the 20-year life cycle of the RTP. Draft Short Range Transit Plan FY 2008/ /14 45
