IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN sbX in FY 2010/11. The remaining corridors form the framework for the establishment of a base 2 fixed route network, with the possible introduction of limited stop or full express services as a precursor to sbX network expansion. See Section 5.1 for more detail about the plan. Evaluation of Omnitrans’ Administrative Operations Final Report (01/23/06) – The project reviewed the internal controls of Omnitrans procurement, finance, human resources and information management processes and implementation of prior recommendation, and developed a series of 37 corrective recommendations. FY 2003-2005 Triennial Performance Audit of Omnitrans (05/06) – The audit recommended the improvement of farebox recovery and the development of more productive services in the 2008-2013 Omnitrans SRTP. Both are considered critical issues in the current SRTP. Multi-Dimensional Benchmarking – Transit System Cost and Performance (2006) – This study involved a comparative analysis of Omnitrans’ cost and performance for the period 1998 through 2005 based on research of over 100 western United States transit systems reporting data to the National Transit Database (NTD). This study recommended that Omnitrans do the following: identify potential areas of cost reduction that need additional management focus; set realistic strategic and cost performance targets; and negotiate quantitative performance targets for the management team. With respect to the 2008-2013 Omnitrans SRTP recommendation to reduce operating costs, Omnitrans staff is currently addressing the recommendations from the Multi-Dimensional Benchmarking Study. Review of Ontario Mills Bus Stop Accessibility and Safety (08/06/06) – Recommendations to improve accessibility and passenger amenities at the Ontario Mills Mall bus stop were provided to the mall owner and are under consideration. User Intercept Survey of Omnitrans Riders at the Ontario Mills Mall Final Report (06/27/06) – A key finding concluded that 63% of passengers using the Ontario Mills Mall transfer site were going to the mall and not transferring to another bus. Only 37% of the respondents used the site as a transfer site. This suggests the potential staggering of bus arrival/departure times to reduce bus and passenger congestion at this location. On-Board User Intercept Surveys of Omnitrans Riders (08/31/06) – In a SANBAG-funded project, a weekday, on-board survey of Omnitrans fixed route riders and a mail-back intercept survey of OmniLink and Access riders were conducted by Omnitrans. A total of 4,055 completed fixed route questionnaires and 165 completed demand-response questionnaires were returned. Findings provide a recent overview of transit travel patterns and rider profiles for Omnitrans fixed route and demand-response services. Key fixed route origins and destinations included home, work and school. Sixty-six percent of fixed route riders were aged 22 to 49, the majority have low incomes (53% of respondents cite annual incomes of less than $20,000), and the majority are transit-dependent (only 15% cite the availability of an automobile for the trip surveyed). Key trip origins and destinations for OmniLink and Access riders were home and work. The majority of demand-response riders are 40 or older (70%) and have low incomes (64% report an annual income of less than $20,000). Almost all of the demand-response riders (95%) have a disability. Of those riders with a disability, 55% have a disability that affects their mobility. San Bernardino Transcenter Project – Upon completion of the land acquisition, which is currently underway, Omnitrans will begin to construct the San Bernardino Transcenter at Rialto and E Street. This new facility will serve as a multi-modal hub for Omnitrans’ sbX, fixed route, regional bus, Metrolink, and Redlands Passenger Rail services. The new San Bernardino Transcenter will replace the Fourth Street Transit Mall. The new San Bernardino Transcenter site straddles the Redlands Subdivision to the immediate west of E Street and to the immediate south of Rialto Avenue. This new facility will improve Omnitrans service connections in Downtown San Bernardino. Transit-oriented development (TOD) 2 Base routes are the core routes in the transit system, operating in a straight-line route structure on the main arterial roads throughout the service area. They are oriented as much as possible to the main travel destinations and corridors, and form a grid route network that can provide a basic level of mobility to residents. July 11, 2007 13
IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN associated with the new Transcenter will also act as a trip generator and attractor for Omnitrans routes serving Downtown San Bernardino. Omnitrans routing in Downtown San Bernardino will have to be restructured to accommodate this new site. Individual route running times and schedules will also have to be adjusted. Planned Yucaipa Transcenter – The new Yucaipa Transcenter is scheduled to open in FY 2007/08 and will serve as the eastern terminus for Omnitrans fixed route services. This off-street facility will have eight bus bays and accommodate higher-capacity 60-foot articulated buses. Yucaipa is currently served by Omnitrans Routes 8 and 9 and OmniLink service. The new Yucaipa Transcenter can serve as a transfer site between Omnitrans fixed route services and Yucaipa OmniLink service, and could eventually accommodate regional connections if service extensions from neighboring Riverside County are warranted. The new Transcenter could also accommodate new bus feeder services to the planned Redlands Passenger Rail service. Planned Chaffey College Transcenter – The Chaffey College Transcenter is still in the initial planning stages and will eventually serve as a terminus for north-south services in the Western Valley and for potential limited stop commuter services operating along I-210 in the future. 1.15.2 OTHER PLANNING INITIATIVES I-210 Completion (FY 2007/08) – When completed in FY 2007/08, I-210 (also known as the Foothill Freeway) will provide an eight lane east-west freeway through the San Bernardino County cities of San Bernardino, Rialto, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, and Upland, with access into Los Angeles County. With a carpool lane in each direction, I-210 provides a strategic alignment for the Foothill East and Foothill West Transit Corridors for future sbX expansion. West Valley segments of I-210 could also be used to avoid operation along congested arterials as higher speed Metrolink feeders are considered in the future in conjunction with residential development north of I-210. Redlands Passenger Rail – Redlands Passenger Rail is a planned passenger rail service between the planned San Bernardino Transcenter and the City of Redlands along the Redlands Subdivision. On April 4, 2007, the SANBAG Board authorized additional studies that would examine the potential for this service. The introduction of this rail commute service will impact east-west Omnitrans ridership in the East Valley and also require East Valley service restructuring as feeders around the series of nine possible Redlands Passenger Rail stations. TOD development proposed around each station will concentrate densities and activities, potentially generating increased local transit demand. Shuttle service between specific stations and San Bernardino International Airport, Loma Linda Medical University and Medical Center, Loma Linda VA Hospital, University of Redlands, Crafton Hills College and the planned Yucaipa Transcenter may be warranted. With the exception of the initial San Bernardino Transcenter development, Redlands Passenger Rail Plan impacts are anticipated to occur beyond the 2008-2013 Omnitrans SRTP timeframe. 1.16 Distribution of the SRTP As the guiding document for the development of the Omnitrans’ transit services, the SRTP will be widely distributed throughout the service area and beyond. The region’s planning and programming agencies (SANBAG and SCAG) need the SRTP for their programming and administrative activities. Neighboring transit systems such as RTA, LACMTA, and OCTA will make use of the document as they plan coordination and interaction with Omnitrans services and facilities. Member cities will use the document to help with their review of future developments and compilation of their capital improvement programs. Existing and future riders will find the SRTP to be a valuable source of information for their travel, housing, and employment choices. To maximize the availability of the SRTP, the document will be available in several forms, including on-line at the Omnitrans website, on CDs, and hard copies. With this wide array of use in mind, the SRTP will be distributed to the following parties. July 11, 2007 14
