IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN Transit Enhancements This funding will be used to enhance pedestrian improvements in conjunction with city projects to increase accessibility to bus stops. Transit Security This project enables capitalization of security costs. These expenditures are intended to abate operating costs by shifting the expenses to capital financing. According to FTA guidelines, at least 1% of Section 5307 funds must be used for security purposes. Local Transportation Funds (LTF) will be used as local match because California Transportation Development Act (TDA) guidelines do not allow the use of STAF funds for capitalized security projects. Preventive Maintenance Federal Section 5307 funding guidelines allow transit agencies to use a portion of these formula funds for preventive maintenance activities. Omnitrans funds preventative maintenance after funding all capital programs. The amount will fluctuate with each SRTP as new programs become critical for Omnitrans. LTF will be used as local match because California Transportation Development Act (TDA) guidelines do not allow the use of STAF funds for capitalized maintenance projects. Management Information Systems This project will provide Management Information Systems (MIS) for East and West Valley facilities, and provide training for new/upgraded equipment. MIS equipment will also be used to replace/supplement outmoded equipment now in use and incorporate new technologies. The goal is to improve operational efficiency. Office Equipment This item provides office equipment for East and West Valley facilities to replace worn out furnishings and expand and update administrative/support capabilities. The goal is to improve operational efficiency. Stops and Zones Stops and zones equipment is needed to replace, improve, or enhance fixed route stops. Equipment is needed to accommodate continuation and expansion of fixed route service. Replacement Paratransit Vehicles This project will purchase replacement paratransit vans. Vans will be lift-equipped and run on conventional fuel sources, unless a CARB-approved engine is found that meets Omnitrans service requirements. Vehicles being replaced will have reached standard replacement life of four years or 100,000 miles. Replacements are planned as follows: • 2008 – 25 • 2009 – 16 • 2010 – 10 • 2012 – 25 The funding pattern of the paratransit fleet changed as Omnitrans moved up delivery of paratransit vehicles. Omnitrans took delivery of 25 vehicles in FY 2006 and should take delivery of an additional 25 July 11, 2007 245
IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN in FY 2007. This will smooth the replacement pattern. In addition to FTA Section 5307 and STAF funding, paratransit vehicle replacement will be partially funded with an FTA Section 5310 (Transportation for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities) grant in FY 2008. Capitalization of Leases Omnitrans made a decision in FY 2008 to capitalize its tire lease in accordance with capitalization procedures. This action increased the capitalization of leases total funding request. Omnitrans does not own appropriate property and facilities for these purposes and therefore these expenditures can be shifted to capital financing. Also, Omnitrans uses FTA capital funds to fund the operating facility lease for West Valley Access and OmniLink service/voice/data communications base station and antenna tower sites. LTF funding will be used as local match because California Transportation Development Act (TDA) guidelines do not allow the use of STAF funds for capitalized leases. Revenue Equipment This project includes the improvement, upkeep, or replacement of equipment used in revenue service. Alternative Fueling Facilities Various maintenance equipment pieces will be replaced, repaired and/or refurbished to enhance fueling capabilities and to replace parts that have become worn or no longer able to meet up-to-date air quality standards. Refurbishment will occur every four years. Chino Transcenter The Chino Transcenter serves as the transportation hub for Omnitrans West Valley Service and provides intercounty transit connections to Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The existing facility has reached capacity with three different transit agencies stopping there. Phase II of the project involves building additional bus bays for future intercounty routes to/from Los Angeles and Riverside Counties. Ontario Transcenter In conjunction with the city of Ontario, Omnitrans is creating a Transcenter in downtown Ontario. The funding for this project was appropriated in 2006 under SAFETEA-LU. The funding was for four years and started in FY 2006. Omnitrans will only need to provide a match to the FTA Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities grant funding it obtained for this project. FY 2006 funds totaled $190,654 and FY 2007 funds totaled $200,640. These amounts were funded with FTA 5309 and STAF funds. The amount budgeted in FY 2008 is a Section 5309 FY 2007 appropriation. Chaffey Transcenter The student population of the Chaffey College campus continues to grow. Providing convenient public transportation service can reduce the demand for parking stalls and provide opportunities for post-high school education for young adults that do not own a car. The Chaffey College Transcenter will provide a centralized location for several Omnitrans routes to pick-up and drop off passengers integrated into the campus. The stop will have shelters, seating areas and information kiosks. Chaffey Transcenter is scheduled for STIP funding in FY 2008. Mid-Valley Facility This project will fund architectural, engineering, and construction costs for development of the site for revenue service. The Mid-Valley Phase I project will develop a paratransit facility to replace the existing Rancho Cucamonga facility currently being leased by Omnitrans. This funding is in addition to the July 11, 2007 246
