OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT
& SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
2. Partially Constrained Plan – The objective of this plan is to improve the structure of the base routes
and the frequencies and spans of all routes so that they can meet the established standards. The plan
would include the changes suggested for the Constrained Plan plus further changes to ensure that there
is consistency in the headways and hours of service on the routes. In this plan, all routes would offer 30-
minute or better headways and 15-hour spans. Figure 9-8 through Figure 9-10 show the operating
characteristics of the plan. The expected impacts on Omnitrans resources are as follows:
• Daily ridership would be expected to increase to 60,000 unlinked passenger trips,
which would cover one-half of the unmet demands. This is a 9% increase over
the present system. Annual ridership could increase to about 16,900,000 from
the expected 15,500,000 unlinked passenger trips in FY 2007.
• Daily revenue service hours could increase to 2,300 under this plan, which is a
15% increase over the present system. Annual revenue hours could increase to
about 730,000 revenue hours from the present level of 634,000.
• About 472 operators would be required for the plan or 57 more than for the
present system.
• About 163 peak buses, or 20 more than the present system, would be required
for the Partially Constrained Plan.
