First, a track use charge isincluded based on the number of Caltrain train miles operated annually over the extended route toSalinas. Recent experience of the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission with UPRR related to theACE service forms the basis of this track use charge. The fee would cover train scheduling, trackmaintenance and repair, and capital investment recovery. Second, a “slot fee” is included with theO&M cost estimate. This fee would be negotiated with UPPR—hence, the precise cost is unknown.The amount indicated in Table 6-10 is based on the VTA purchase of Caltrain trackage rights fromUPRR in southern Santa Clara County. The slot fees have been annualized for 15 years at a discountrate of seven percent.EXPRESS BUS ALTERNATIVE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTESTIMATESOperating and maintenance cost estimates have been developed for the Express Bus Alternativebased on MST experience with operating local and longer distance fixed route, fixed schedule busservice throughout Monterey County.Table 6-11 reports actual and forecast O&M cost parameters for MST fixed route bus servicebetween FY 2002 and FY 2007 (proposed). The table indicates that operating expenses per hour andmile rose gradually between FY 2002 and FY 2005, but have risen at a faster rate in FY 2006 andFY 2007 (projected) due to increases in retirement benefits, fuel and purchased transportation 7 .7Additional routes and existing shuttle services contracted to MV Transportation, Inc., which operates 17 passenger vans.parsons CHAPTER 6: ESTIMATION OF CAPITAL, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS, AND REVENUE 157

The fully allocated cost for service in FY 2007 isproposed to be $102.31 per vehicle hour for new service. This unit cost assumes that thefundamental nature of the new service will be similar to the existing Monterey–Salinas Transit fixedroute bus operations.In the case of the Express Bus Alternative, the fundamental nature of the proposed service isdifferent from normal Monterey–Salinas Transit fixed-route, fixed-schedule operations. Whereasvirtually all Monterey–Salinas Transit service operates under relatively low speed, and therefore lowmileage per hour conditions, the express bus alternative would incur high mileage per hour ofoperation. A cost model based on multiple parameters, such as cost per revenue vehicle hour, mile,and vehicles operated was developed to more accurately forecast operations and maintenance costsfor the Express Bus Alternative.Table 6-12 provides a historical and projected overview of Monterey–Salinas Transit’s operating andmaintenance expenses by major cost object for FY 2005 actual through FY 2007 proposed. Table 6-13provides additional detail, with expenses broken down by both object and function. Functions aredefined as follows:Vehicle OperationsVehicle MaintenanceIncludes operating buses, and scheduling the buses and drivers.Includes preventive and corrective maintenance on revenue and supportvehicles, as well as updating vehicle records, and servicing and fuelingvehicles.Facilities Maintenance Includes maintenance of grounds, buildings, and bus stops.General Administration Includes transit planning, customer services, marketing, finance and accounting,computer system, personnel administration, and legal services.Each of the object and function combinations can be described as (1) fixed in the short run, (2) variableproportional to mileage, or (3) variable proportional to hours of service. A cost forecasting model,sensitive to changes in the quantity of service operated, can then be developed.parsons CHAPTER 6: ESTIMATION OF CAPITAL, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS, AND REVENUE 158
