DAR on-timeperformance was 75% in <strong>FY</strong> 2003 and 78% in <strong>FY</strong> 2004, less than theadopted <strong>Tri</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> measure of 90%. That performanceincreased <strong>to</strong> 87% for <strong>FY</strong>07 due in part <strong>to</strong> the implementation of anMDT/IVR (Mobile Data Terminal/Integrated Voice Response) systemand updated, scheduling software as part of a major, IntelligentTransportation System (ITS) project undertaken several years ago.Table 3.13 DAR Operating Statistics & Performance Indica<strong>to</strong>rsStatistic/ or MeasureValueMeetStandard?CommentNumber of Late Buses 84 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureNumber of Lift Passengers 27,386 -- Less expensive <strong>to</strong> carry on FR buses than DARPreventable Accidents 4 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureCus<strong>to</strong>mer Complaint Calls Received 137 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureNumber of Mechanical Failures 4 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureNumber of Road Calls 8 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureFTA Road Calls - Other 1 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureTotal Road Calls 9 -- Used <strong>to</strong> calculate performance measureOn-Time Performance – Fixed Route 87.2% No Standard us 90% and was nearly metMiles Between Preventable Accidents 144,282 Yes Nearly meets high end of standard (70,000 miles)Percentage of Riders Complaining 0.164% Yes Measure changed from 2005 SRTPAverage Miles Between Road calls(based on RVM)64,125 Yes Previous SRTP standard exceeded by a widemargin; recommend increasing the standard.Characteristics of Dial-A-Ride <strong>Tri</strong>ps & ServiceA detailed analysis of the characteristics of Dial-A-Ride trips can besummarized as follows:• Of <strong>to</strong>tal DAR reservations requested, 84% were completed, and16% cancelled. Riders cancelled 12% of the time, and 3% were“no shows.” At the time of the previous SRTP, the cancellationrate was relatively high for a system restricting advancebookings <strong>to</strong> three days in advance.• Less than 1% of trip requests were denied, including requestsfor alternative trip times, same day trip denials, and denials ofnon-ADA service requests. No advance bookings by ADA-eligibleregistrants were denied, though same-day requests can bedenied under ADA regulations if space is not available.• Almost 13% of DAR passengers were classified as “personalcare attendants,” (PCAs) a relatively high rate. 2% of thepassengers were fare-paying companions traveling with aregistered passenger; the high rate of PCAs may indicate thatsome are actually companions avoiding paying the fare.43
