Individual Fixed Route PerformancePerformance by individual fixed route for <strong>FY</strong> 2003-04 is summarized inTable 3.5; <strong>FY</strong> 2006-07 is summarized in Table 3.6.Figure 3.5 below compares the average productivity in boardings(passengers) per revenue vehicle hour (RVH for <strong>Tri</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Transit</strong>routes for both <strong>FY</strong> 2003-04 and 2006-07. In <strong>FY</strong> 2003-04, systemproductivity averaged 14.4 boardings/RVH and 15.5 boardings/RVH in<strong>FY</strong> 2006-07. Route 300 was the best performing express route witharound 13 boardings/RVH in <strong>FY</strong> 2006-07; Route 200 <strong>to</strong> Martinezaveraged about 7.3 boardings/RVH, a slight improvement from <strong>FY</strong>2003-04. DX-1 and DX-2 averaged 9.6 and 6.6 boardings/RVH,respectively. Special shuttles and 49er shuttles also had relatively goodperformance. No service was provided on the new <strong>Delta</strong> Express route<strong>to</strong> Martinez and Route 201, the latter which began August 26, <strong>2007</strong>during <strong>FY</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-08.All local routes except Route 70 and Saturday Route 393 improvedtheir performance in <strong>FY</strong> 2006-07 compared <strong>to</strong> <strong>FY</strong> 2003-04. As a result,service on Route 70 was reduced somewhat, and Saturday service onthe Brentwood Dimes-A-Ride was discontinued completely due <strong>to</strong> lowproductivity.Since <strong>FY</strong> 2003-04, <strong>Tri</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> began operation of four newroutes, 384, 385, and 386 on weekdays, and new route 394 onSaturdays and Sundays. Routes 384 and 385 are community shuttleroutes covering Southeast Antioch and Brentwood; Route 386 is a“lifeline” route connecting Discovery Bay and Brentwood. Given thesprawling low density, affluent suburban nature of this area and manyvacant parcels of land still <strong>to</strong> be developed, the relatively lowproductivity of Routes 384 and 385 (6.2 and 9.4 boardings/RVH,respectively) is <strong>to</strong> be expected. Patronage on both routes is expected<strong>to</strong> mature over the next few years as the area continues <strong>to</strong> developFigure 3.5 Route Productivity, <strong>FY</strong> 2003-04 and <strong>FY</strong> 2006-073025Boardings Per RVH20151050DXDX-1DX-2200300Shuttles7020133BDR380383384<strong>FY</strong> 2003-04 <strong>FY</strong> 2006-07385386387388389390391Sat-BDRSat-392Sat-393Sat-394Sun-392Sun-393Sun-394
