Chapter Three is a comprehensive System & Service Evaluation of theTri Delta Transit system. Overall system level fixed route and dial-aridetrends and performance indicators are summarized and evaluated,comparing FYs 2003-04 and 2006-07 and evaluated against a numberof adopted standards/measures.Individual route performance is reviewed for the fixed route network.For the dial-a-ride (DAR) system, compliance with Americans withDisabilities Act (ADA) regulations is discussed.Chapter Three includes an analysis of Capital Program trends, focusingon the vehicle fleet, transit centers and park & ride lots, and acoordinated local bus, BRT and eBART/BART strategy. On-board surveyresults are included in Chapter Three, summarizing the Tri DeltaTransit/eBART survey conducted in Fall 2006, and the MetropolitanTransportation Commission (MTC)-sponsored survey completed inFebruary 2007.Tri Delta Transit’s response and activities related to its most recentProductivity Improvement Program (PIP) is summarized, as are theresponse to the FY 2003-05 Triennial Performance Audit, the FederalTitle VI Program, and response to the FY 2007 Federal TriennialReview.Chapter Four is a discussion of potential Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)options designed to effectively supplement the existing local busservices. Examples and descriptions of potentially relevant BRTsystems from Eugene-Springfield, Oregon, Las Vegas, Nevada, Miami,Florida, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania are presented. Potential optionsfor BRT in East Contra Costa County are discussed, based on existingTri Delta Transit patronage patterns and unmet transit needs in theservice area.Chapter Five summarizes the proposed Operations Plan and Budgetfor the FY 2007-08 through FY 2017-18 period. The strengths andweaknesses found in the service evaluation (Chapter Three) aresummarized and complimented with a discussion of the challenges andopportunities facing the transit system. The proposed Fixed RouteOperations Plan is presented, followed by the recommended Dial-A-Ride Operating Plan. Operating Statistics and Budget Projections aresummarized for Fixed Route, Dial-A-Ride, and System Total (Tables5.3, 5.4, and 5.5, respectively). A summary table of ProjectedOperating Characteristics and Budget is also presented (Table 5.6).Chapter Six presents the recommended Capital Plan. The PlannedCapital Expenditure Summary is summarized in Table 6.1. Table 6.2outlines the Planned Fleet Capital Expenditures over the life of thisSRTP. Capital project detail narrative is included.x
Introduction & OverviewCHAPTER1Purpose of the Short Range Transit PlanFederal transportation statutes require that the MetropolitanTransportation Commission (MTC), in partnership with state and localagencies, develop and periodically update a long-range RegionalTransportation Plan (RTP), and a Transportation Improvement Program(TIP), which implements the RTP by programming federal funds totransportation projects contained in the RTP. In order to effectivelyexecute these planning and programming responsibilities, MTC requiresthat each transit operator in its region which receives federal fundsthrough the TIP, prepare, adopt, and submit to MTC a Short RangeTransit Plan (SRTP).In keeping with MTC’s SRTP guidelines, this document focuses on thefollowing:• Compliance with MTC and FTA planning program requirements• Providing a comprehensive evaluation of existing services andrecommendations for system improvements• Outlining goals, objectives, performance measures andstandards as applicable to ongoing system operations• Establishing transit and paratransit service levels in a balancedbudget scenario• Offering direction for additional expansion if funding conditionsimprove during the planning period;• Serving as a public information resource.In addition to meeting the requirements of funding agencies at theregional, state and federal levels, the Short Range Transit Plan willprovide a blueprint for transit service during the next decade, and isan implementation guide for the Plan’s prioritized serviceimprovements. The analysis must provide justification for therecommended course of action, and must also examine the “realworld” feasibility of meeting various new, currently unmet transitneeds, such as serving growing areas.This report contains six chapters. The remainder of Chapter Onedescribes ECCTA’s history, the system’s governance, organizationalstructure and funding, and outlines the transportation servicesprovided. ECCTA provides both fixed route bus service andcomplementary paratransit to meet the requirements of the Americanswith Disabilities Act (ADA). Additional information includes farestructure, revenue vehicle fleet and facilities, and service areacharacteristics.1
