The second BART owned lot is located in Antioch near the site of aproposed eBART station, on the east side of Hillcrest Avenue betweenSunset Drive and Highway 4. This facility contains approximately 200parking spaces in a fenced lot. Bus stops with passenger shelters arelocated in the eastbound curb lane of Sunset Drive adjacent to theparking lot. The Hillcrest lot is the second most active origin anddestination point in the Tri Delta Transit system and needs majorenhancements to match the current level of service.The 80-space Brentwood park and ride lot is located on the east side ofWalnut Boulevard opposite Dainty Avenue on the west side ofdowntown. The facility includes an off-street bus stop equipped withstandard passenger shelters and bench seating.As previously mentioned, the main hub of Tri Delta Transit operationsis the large multi-space bus transfer facility at the Pittsburg-Bay PointBART station. Tri Delta provides nearly 200 bus arrivals and departuresdaily at this location, serving 15 to 20 percent of the totalPittsburg/Bay Point BART station entries and exits.22
Goals, Objectives & StandardsBackgroundRealistic goals and practical objectives and service standards are keyelements of an SRTP, serving as a foundation for development ofservice strategies and delivery of transit service. Transit is a means toan end. Transit serves the travel needs of persons withoutautomobiles, helps control congestion, and addresses many othercommunity goals such as equity, improving the environment, economicdevelopment, and improved land use. Objectives and policy statementssupporting goals should be achievable and supported by realisticservice standards providing measurable benchmarks of transit systemperformance.According to the 2000 U.S. Census, more than 90% of households inthe Tri Delta Transit/ECCTA service area have access to a motorvehicle, and only about five percent of commuters used transit.Attracting choice transit users in a dispersed, suburban and partiallyrural low-density environment such as East Contra Costa County is avery difficult task. Public transit generally is most successful where tripdestinations and travel patterns are concentrated, and transit can offerfrequent services and travel times competitive with driving.Even with the Bay Area’s severe congestion problem, it is very difficultboth operationally and economically to provide a transit alternativethat meets these criteria, particularly in widely dispersed communitiessuch as East Contra Costa County. As a result, Tri Delta Transit’sprimary existing patronage is comprised of “transit dependent”persons. That is, the system primarily serves those who don’t ownmotor vehicles or live in a household with a vehicle, but lack reliableregular access. These markets include seniors, persons withdisabilities, youth, and low-income persons.ECCTA has made effective use of performance indicators andstandards, both in its internal evaluation process and incorporatingmeaningful measures in its operating contracts. Accordingly, thischapter emphasizes improving adopted performance measures, basedon actual operational and financial performance, as well asincorporating the perceptions and expectations of bus riders and thegeneral public. Measuring transit system performance has fourelements:• Goals are broad statements of purpose that are grounded in thebasic values and aims of the community as reflected by theECCTA Board of Directors through an organizational missionstatement. Goals are usually achieved over several years. Oftengoals are not quantifiable, but are needed to validate that thetransit program is meeting the need for which it was originallyintended.23CHAPTER2
