and the many vacant parcels continue to be developed. The expectedopening of the Highway 4 bypass directly serving this area will alsoallow introduction of direct express bus service, a factor that mayincrease connecting patronage on these local routes if a reliable localtransfer point can be established.In contrast, Route 386 is a lifeline connector route between DiscoveryBay, an affluent exurban development, and Brentwood, a rapidlygrowing suburban city. Route productivity is low compared to the TriDelta Transit system average, but is comparable to many rural transitsystems and is significantly higher than the dial-a-ride system.Productivity is likely to increase as more planned development occursin the Discovery Bay area.Figure 3.6 summarizes the average cost recovery ratio from operatingrevenues (fares and other related revenues) for each Tri Delta Transitroute in 2003-04 and FY 2006-07. The system average was 18.4%during FY 2003-04 and 15.8% in FY 2006-07. The 49’er football gamespecials covered more than all their expenses, while all other shuttleswere free. Neither productivity nor fares/other operating revenuesrecovery ratio is necessarily useful as a performance indicator by itself.In contrast to their productivity performance, in FY 2006-07, RoutesDX-1 and DX-2 had the highest fare box cost recovery ratios of anyregular Tri Delta Transit routes, at 36.1% and 24.9%, respectively.Route 300 was the most productive express route, but had a fare boxcost recovery ratio (12.1%) below the system average. Route 300passengers pay the estimated average fare, but travel much fartherthan the overall Tri Delta Transit average trip length. Route 200 hadboth low productivity, as measured by boardings/RVH (7.3) and farebox cost recovery ratio (6.9%).Figure 3.6 Operating Revenue Cost Recovery Ratios FY 2006-0760.0%50.0%40.0%30.0%20.0%10.0%0.0%DXDX-1DX-2200300Shuttles70201BDR380383384385386387388389390391Sat-BDRSat-392Sat-393Sat-394Sun-392Sun-393Sun-394FY 2003-04 FY 2006-0736
The best performing local routes during in terms of operating revenuesto cost ratio were: Route 389 (23.5%), Route 387 (22.5%), Route 380(18.4%), Route 391 (17.7%), and the Brentwood Dimes-A-Ride(14.6% including City of Brentwood fare subsidies of $0.80 per ride)and Route 388 (14.2%). Except for the Dimes-A-Ride route, theseoverall best performers are located in the older, more denselydeveloped portions of the Tri Delta Transit service area, e.g., BayPoint, Pittsburg and Antioch generally north of the Highway 4 freeway.These areas also have the highest density of transit dependence asshown by data from the Contra Costa County Low IncomeTransportation Plan.The next best performers were Route 390 (13.4%) and Route 383(12.8%). All other routes (70, 384, 385, 386) had operating revenuecost recovery ratios of less than 10%, matching their relatively lowproductivity in terms of boardings/RVH. As previously noted, Route 70provides a community shuttle within Pittsburg. Routes 384 to 386serve the newest, most affluent and least densely developed portion ofthe service area. Productivity and fare box cost recovery on theselatter routes should increase over time as vacant areas are developedand more people are served.Other Fixed Route Statistics & Performance IndicatorsTable 3.7 summarizes other operating statistics and performanceindicators for fixed route service.Most of these standards were met. In one case, Average Miles BetweenRoad calls, Tri Delta Transit greatly exceeded the standard adopted inthe previous Short Range Transit Plan.Table 3.7 Fixed Route Operating Statistics & Performance IndicatorsStatistic/ or MeasureValueMeetStandard?CommentNumber of Late Buses 2,028 -- Used to calculate performance measureNumber of Lift Passengers 25,334 -- Less expensive to carry on FR buses than DARNumber of Bicycles Carried 16,685 -- Bicycles carried on fixed route buses only.Preventable Accidents 41 -- Used to calculate performance measureCustomer Complaint Calls Received 458 -- Used to calculate performance measureNumber of Mechanical Failures 71 -- Used to calculate performance measureNumber of Road Calls 46 -- Used to calculate performance measureFTA Road Calls – Other 31 -- Used to calculate performance measureTotal Road Calls 148 -- Used to calculate performance measureOn-Time Performance – Fixed Route 90.07% Yes Standard is 90%Miles Between Preventable Accidents 68,239 Yes Nearly meets high end of standard (70,000 miles)Percentage of Riders Complaining 0.018% Yes Measure changed from 2005 SRTPAverage Miles Between Road calls(based on RVM)16,625 Yes Previous SRTP standard exceeded by a widemargin; recommend increasing the standard.37
