depart Bay Point every 15 minutes on weekdays beginning at 4:02a.m. until approximately 7:30 p.m., and thereafter every 20 minutesuntil midnight. The FY 2007-08 BART operating budget includes fundsto increase evening and weekend train frequencies to every 15minutes, thus providing a base for 30-minute bus frequency whenpatronage is unlikely to support every 15-minutes.On weekdays, this would require three additional buses duringwe ekday peak periods, and four additional buses during weekday baseperiods. Nominal operational savings could result from the shorterrunning times on the bypass compared to the existing alignment onMain Street and Brentwood Boulevard. This savings could be combinedwith new resources to incrementally implement increased frequenciesas Tri Delta Transit can afford. Express buses currently do not operateon weekends. BART trains currently run every 20 minutes onweekends, but will soon be transitioning to 15-minute service. Halfhour frequencies on Route 300 would require 4 buses.Refine and Expand Route 201 OperationsRoute 201 began operation on August 27, 2007 between Bay Point andCentral Concord. During the first full month of operations, routeproductivity exceeded 11 boardings/RVH, indicating that matureridership levels after 18-24 months are likely to exceed the Tri DeltaTransit system average productivity by a substantial margin. Possibleimprovements to Route 201–to be developed in detail by transit staff–may include midday service every 30 minutes, and hourly service onweekends. Additional midday service would require about 2,500additional annual revenue vehicle hours; hourly weekend service wouldrequire adding about 3,000 annual RVH for Route 201 service between7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.Midday Service Every 30 Minutes on Selected RoutesThe FY 2007-08 Tri Delta Transit operating budget has sufficientfunding to increase fixed route services by about 15%. Many of theproposed improvements focus on improving midday service onweekdays to every 30 minutes on selected routes. Specificrecommendations for these selective service increases are currentlybeing developed by Tri Delta Transit staff.Service Planning Beyond 2010As noted earlier, introduction of eBART and supporting/complementarybus rapid transit (BRT) to East Contra Costa County would havesignificant impacts on the transit network serving Tri Delta Transitcustomers and other commuters. BART currently provides about $2.0million annually to support bus connections to the Bay Point station.Additional State Transit Assistance (STA) funds are received from theBART coordination program; in effect, these two funding sources arefunctionally equivalent. Should these funding sources be discontinuedwhen the current eBART project opens, weekday Tri Delta Transit peakservice levels would have to be reduced proportionately.94
Future Tri Delta Transit route revisions designed to accommodateimproved access to new eBART stations, the current BART station, andto provide service where BRT strategies are appropriate, requires asystems level evaluation of the current system and development ofscenarios and plans to evaluate the best strategies for meeting thesedisparate needs. BRT strategies in particular may be suited to FederalTransit Administration (FTA) “Small Starts” funding, e.g., projects thatcost no more than $250 million and request a maximum of $75 millionfrom FTA New Starts funding. Should Tri Delta Transit decide to pursuefederal funding opportunities, a major study consistent with FTAplanning guidelines would be needed. In addition to standard transitplanning capabilities, this potential $300,000 to $500,000 studyprocess would require detailed traffic engineering expertise to evaluatesuitable locations for transit signal priorities, queue jumpers, potentialstop locations, and other improvements.Dial-a-Ride Operating PlanProjected Dial-a-Ride and Antioch Senior Bus Program service levelsare summarized in Table 5.2. Dial-A-Ride demand is projected to growby 12% between FY 2007 and FY 2008, primarily due to an anticipated16% increase in service provided, paralleling projected increases infixed route operations in FY 2008. Productivity is projected to increaseslightly over the life of the plan. Similarly, Antioch Senior Bus Programridership is projected to remain at current levels while service hourswill remain flat.Table 5.2 Projected Tri Delta Transit Dial-A-Ride Service LevelsFiscal Year Dial-A-Ride Dial-A-RideRevenue Vehicle Hours Revenue Vehicle Miles2006-07 41,748 577,1272007-08 48,400 670,0002008-09 48,400 670,0002009-10 48,400 670,0002010-11 48,400 670,0002011-12 48,400 670,0002012-13 48,400 670,0002013-14 48,400 670,0002014-15 48,400 670,0002015-16 48,400 670,0002016-17 48,400 670,0002017-18 48,400 670,00095
