They alsofind the results of the eBART study to be more in line with their ownobservations and thus a more accurate profile of Tri Delta Transitridership.Productivity Improvement Program (PIP)ECCTA has a formal productivity improvement plan (PIP) to guideongoing efforts to operate transit services that meet or exceedminimum performance standards. Current productivity standardsinclude 15 passengers (boardings) per revenue vehicle hour (RVH) forthe fixed route network and three passengers (boardings) per RVH forDial-A-Ride. During FY 2006-07, the fixed route system as a wholeaveraged 16 boardings/RVH, while the Dial-A-Ride system averaged2.6 boardings/RVH. Routes DX-1 and DX-2 operated significantly below58
the adopted productivity standard, but each route had a farebox costrecovery ratio well above the Tri Delta Transit fixed route average dueto the higher fares for these subscription services.Several options may be considered to restore service productivity todefined standards. On the fixed route side where current productivity iswithin 10% of standard, the approach suggested is to trim back onunproductive service hours or discontinue marginal routes.Four Tri Delta Transit routes currently operate with less than 10passengers/RVH, the suggested “cutoff” where a route should beconsidered deficient in productivity, excluding DX-1 and DX-2 aspreviously noted:• 70 Pittsburg Loop – 23% below suggested minimum• 200 Martinez/Antioch – 34% below suggested minimum• 384, 385, 386 – Antioch-Brentwood-Oakley 6% to 52% belowsuggested minimumThere currently is no plan to address the relatively low productivity ofRoutes 70 and 200. Until recently, Route 200 was partly subsidized byContra Costa County to ensure access to health care facilities inMartinez for low-income residents. Route 200 is a “lifeline”transportation service and is unlikely to be eliminated or curtailedsignificantly, and remains considerably more cost-effective thanalternative Dial-A-Ride service. And, lifeline funding in the amount of$92,000 per year has been obtained for Route 200 for the next threeyears.Route 70 service has been reduced about 25%, as recommended inthe previous SRTP document. This route is currently at a minimumlevel of service and also functions as a lifeline service, serving areasnot covered by busier local routes, and remains considerably morecost-effective than Dial-A-Ride service.Routes 384, 385, and 386 are relatively new routes in operation forless than two years, and have not yet achieved optimum ridershiplevels. Route 386 is a rural connecting route serving Byron andDiscovery Bay, and perhaps should be evaluated on that basis. Withthe opening of the Highway 4 bypass to Southeast Antioch andBrentwood, Route 300 could be restructured into a more efficientconfiguration by increasing the potential for patronage on these routes.The PIP for FY 2006-07 included improving the on-time performance ofthe Dial-A-Ride system, which was 80% in FY 2003-04. The objectiveindicated in Chapter 2 was 90%, which was almost met with 89.7%during FY 2006-07.59
