Plan<br />

RECOMMENDED <strong>AC</strong>TION:<br />

Information Only Briefing Item Recommended Motion<br />

Receive Report and Provide Direction to Staff on Revised Service Proposals<br />

Fiscal Impact:<br />

Implementation <strong>of</strong> the Draft 20<strong>09</strong> Revised Service Adjustments Plan (RevSAP) would result<br />

in an estimated annualized District-wide savings <strong>of</strong> approximately $9.6 Million, net <strong>of</strong><br />

anticipated fare revenues. Final adoption <strong>of</strong> this plan would result in an overall reduction <strong>of</strong><br />

8.4% platform hours, District-wide.<br />

Background/Discussion:<br />

This memorandum will provide a comprehensive overview <strong>of</strong> the history, process and<br />

service proposals associated with the 20<strong>09</strong> Service Adjustments Plan, in its original and<br />

proposed form. The first section details the processes and steps involved in the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> the Draft 20<strong>09</strong> Service Adjustments Plan (SAP). The second section<br />

provides information on the steps and rationale <strong>of</strong> how the SAP was revised (RevSAP) to reincorporate<br />

approximately 140,000 platform hours <strong>of</strong> restored service, using the same<br />

routing structure developed during the SAP process.<br />

Background Information and Context<br />

In January 20<strong>09</strong> the <strong>AC</strong> Transit <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> received a report outlining an 18 month<br />

financial projection that indicated a $57 Million deficit by the end <strong>of</strong> June 2010.<br />

Subsequently, the District <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> declared a Fiscal Emergency on June 24,<br />

20<strong>09</strong>.<br />

District Budget Process<br />

After a comprehensive review <strong>of</strong> all aspects <strong>of</strong> the District’s operations, including support<br />

and other non-core activities, District staff proposed a biennial budget that incorporated<br />

service cuts and a reduction <strong>of</strong> expenses in FY 20<strong>09</strong>-10 and FY 2010-11. With the intent<br />

to restore the District’s fiscal balance, staff developed a plan to manage through the<br />

challenging times ahead. There were three parts to the plan: (a) Preserving the budget<br />

base; (b) Protecting new initiatives; and (c) Guiding budget cuts that will occur:<br />

Rev. 6/<strong>09</strong>


<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>No</strong>. <strong>09</strong>-<strong>217d</strong><br />

Meeting Date: <strong>No</strong>vember 18, 20<strong>09</strong><br />

Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 16<br />

Preserving the Budget Base – After working with all District departments in the budget<br />

development process, total operating expenses on a net pr<strong>of</strong>orma basis for FY 20<strong>09</strong>-10<br />

are projected to be $323.4 million dollars (after service cuts, and including loss <strong>of</strong> fares<br />

and grant reimbursement <strong>of</strong> certain project labor). This would represent a $2.7 million<br />

dollar decrease from previously projected FY 20<strong>09</strong>-10 operating expenses, on a net<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>orma basis <strong>of</strong> $326.1 million dollars.<br />

Preserving the base means controlling costs. When compared to anticipated annual<br />

increases in expenses, staff actually produced $12.9 million dollars in cost savings in FY<br />

20<strong>09</strong>-10 through service cuts and other operating efficiencies. Also, operating cost<br />

savings projected by staff for FY 2010-11, compared to anticipated annual increases in<br />

baseline operating expenses, are $25.4 million dollars.<br />

Protecting New Initiatives – In order to remain a viable operation, the District must focus<br />

on core transportation and maintenance operations, rather than support business and<br />

services. Staff is committed to identifying more efficient ways to provide service. The<br />

following list <strong>of</strong> initiatives has been developed and is in the early stages <strong>of</strong> design and<br />

implementation:<br />

• Developing an indirect cost rate<br />

• Developing a “force” account<br />

• Maximizing the use <strong>of</strong> Grants<br />

• Using the new FHR system for finance and operational control<br />

• Revenue Service Restructuring<br />

• Tracking on-time service<br />

• Tracking Ridership<br />

• Maintenance cost reduction programs<br />

• Improved work rules utilization<br />

• Compensation and Benefits Restructuring Program<br />

Guiding the Budget Cuts That Will Occur – 1,944 positions are authorized in the FY<br />

20<strong>09</strong>/10 budget, and 1,921 are authorized FY 2010-11. This does not include Paratransit<br />

staff, reported separately in a budget for that unit, but it does include the Retirement<br />

Department staff. Had the original SAP been approved by the <strong>Board</strong>, the following<br />

positions would have been subject to lay<strong>of</strong>f by the end <strong>of</strong> FY 20<strong>09</strong>-10:<br />

• Management Positions (net) 25<br />

• Drivers 150<br />

• Maintenance mechanics and technical staff 36<br />

• Other ATU/IBEW employees 22<br />

• Total positions eliminated 233<br />

Should the <strong>Board</strong> adopt the Revised Service Adjustments Plan, it is intended that no bus<br />

drivers will be laid <strong>of</strong>f and that the resulting reduction in maintenance employees will be<br />

limited to approximately 12 temporary service employees and 3 temporary janitors. The<br />

number <strong>of</strong> positions will be proportionately reduced but the actual lay<strong>of</strong>fs will be primarily<br />

<strong>of</strong>fset by attrition.

On August 26, 20<strong>09</strong> the <strong>AC</strong> Transit <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> approved the Biennial Budget for<br />

the District for Fiscal Years 20<strong>09</strong>/10 and 2010/11. This was further ratified by Resolution<br />

<strong>09</strong>-048 passed by the <strong>Board</strong> on September 9, 20<strong>09</strong>, which provided the District with a<br />

balanced budget, as required by <strong>Board</strong> Policy 312. The budget passed was predicated on<br />

savings from service reductions totaling $18 Million, net <strong>of</strong> fares. Service Development<br />

staff then prepared a series <strong>of</strong> service reductions, adjustments and re-alignments in<br />

accordance with direction to reduce District services 15% (315,000 Platform Hours).<br />

Currently the District operates approximately 2,070,000 annual platform hours. The<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> the Service Adjustments Plan would result in operations <strong>of</strong> 1,755,000<br />

annual platform hours.<br />

20<strong>09</strong> Service Adjustments Plan<br />

Staff developed the 20<strong>09</strong> Service Adjustments Plan (SAP) in accordance with <strong>Board</strong>adopted<br />

principles:<br />

• Allocation <strong>of</strong> service must reflect some consideration <strong>of</strong> geographic equity, but<br />

ultimately productivity and usefulness <strong>of</strong> the service should be given greater weight<br />

– Strategic Plan<br />

• Service must be prioritized to those areas with the greatest potential for transit use,<br />

with good patronage rewarded by better service and shorter waits – Guiding<br />

Principles<br />

• The District should maintain minimum route spacing/coverage – Service<br />

Deployment Policies<br />

On June 24, 20<strong>09</strong> the <strong>Board</strong> received a detailed report (<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-161) and<br />

presentation <strong>of</strong> the SAP that included routing, frequency and span changes. At that time,<br />

staff had estimated that the plan would reduce the daily platform hours to 5,700 per day for<br />

weekdays and just fewer than 2,900 per day for weekends. These targeted savings were<br />

confirmed through a run cut, developed by the Schedules Department. A final set <strong>of</strong><br />

proposals was presented to the <strong>Board</strong> on August 26, 20<strong>09</strong> (<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-161a), which<br />

included three (3) minor revisions to the original SAP. Information regarding ridership<br />

methodology, preliminary Title VI screening and related matters is available in <strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong><br />

<strong>09</strong>-161.<br />

Public Outreach and Public Comments Process<br />

The development <strong>of</strong> the SAP process involved an extensive and comprehensive public<br />

outreach process. Please refer to Attachment A1 for a brief narrative on the process as<br />

well as Attachment A2 for a complete report detailing the nature and scope <strong>of</strong> comments<br />

received. Additionally, the Districts External Affairs, Marketing and Media Affairs<br />

Department have provided a report (Attachment B) <strong>of</strong> the Summary <strong>of</strong> Publicity and<br />

Outreach for the Community Workshops and Public Hearings on the <strong>AC</strong> Transit 20<strong>09</strong><br />

Service Adjustments Plan.<br />

Transfer Policy – as stated in the public comments report, over half <strong>of</strong> the comments<br />

received proposed changes to the District’s transfer policy. This issue will be the subject<br />

<strong>of</strong> a December 20<strong>09</strong> <strong>Board</strong> presentation.

20<strong>09</strong> Revised Service Adjustments Plan (RevSAP)<br />

On September 25, 20<strong>09</strong> the <strong>Board</strong> considered a proposal to shift funds from the Bus<br />

Rapid Transit (BRT) Project to the District’s operating budget (<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-228).<br />

Subsequently, on October 28, 20<strong>09</strong> the <strong>Board</strong> affirmed its support for the diversion <strong>of</strong><br />

Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funding to operating expenses. If the effort to<br />

divert the funds is successful, it would allow for the reinstatement <strong>of</strong> 140,000 annual<br />

platform hours <strong>of</strong> service, bringing the District’s annual platform hours to 1,920,000.<br />

Additionally, staff was able to provide solutions to concerns and issues identified<br />

through the public comments process <strong>of</strong> the original SAP. The RevSAP is an amalgam<br />

<strong>of</strong> “restored” service and efficient and creative solutions to identified problems.<br />

Generally, all trunk-line service has been restored to original frequencies and span, and<br />

the span for several lines has been restored. Finally, service to a key regional<br />

destination previously proposed for discontinuation has been restored.<br />

Service Reinstatement Guidelines<br />

As discussed in <strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-217c, the <strong>Board</strong> was provided priorities for reinstatement<br />

<strong>of</strong> service based on the funding shift. These priorities included:<br />

• Coverage – restoration <strong>of</strong> lines that are shown to have disparate impacts under<br />

Title VI, and under the concept <strong>of</strong> “completing the grid” (ensuring adequate route<br />

spacing/coverage),<br />

• Frequency, Transbay Trips and Span – restoration or expansion <strong>of</strong> frequency,<br />

trips and/or span to areas based on demonstrated patron demand and use.<br />

The revisions to the original SAP are predicated on the above guidelines, taking into<br />

account the sub-regional hours split from both the current (Fall 20<strong>09</strong>) and the RevSAP<br />

proposal. More information regarding the results <strong>of</strong> the sub-regional hours split is<br />

discussed below.<br />

Platform Hours Split Analysis<br />

District service has evolved over time, and per policy, has been apportioned based on a<br />

balance between productivity and geography. As this exercise is ultimately considered<br />

a reduction in service, staff attempted to maintain the basic geographic, service day and<br />

service type split established through prior service planning. Existing routes were<br />

apportioned by the actual amount <strong>of</strong> time spent within a particular area to ensure equity.<br />

The table below shows the split by geographic area:<br />

• Western Contra Costa County – including the cities <strong>of</strong> Richmond, San Pablo, El<br />

Cerrito and un-incorporated portions <strong>of</strong> Contra Costa County.<br />

• <strong>No</strong>rthern Alameda County – including the cities <strong>of</strong> Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville,<br />

Oakland, Alameda and Piedmont.<br />

• Central Alameda County – including the cities <strong>of</strong> San Leandro, Castro Valley,<br />

Hayward, and un-incorporated portions <strong>of</strong> Alameda County.<br />

• Southern Alameda County – including the cities <strong>of</strong> Fremont, Newark and Union<br />

City.

RevSAP Apportioned Hours Split 9.6% 65.7% 15.3% 9.4%<br />

Difference -1.4% 2.9% -1.2% -0.3%<br />

Analysis <strong>of</strong> the geographic platform hours split above indicates a minor shift in service in<br />

the West County region, spread across the other three region with the <strong>No</strong>rth area<br />

receiving a minor proportionate increase. It’s important to note that services in West<br />

Contra Costa County were essentially restored to their current conditions, and all <strong>of</strong> the<br />

lines are again at 30 minute frequency. Weekend hours in the <strong>No</strong>rth area have shifted<br />

by almost 3% due to the demonstrated use <strong>of</strong> transit in that area.<br />

The Service Day Hours split is consistent with expectations that there were some very<br />

deep reductions to weekend service under the SAP, which resulted in a very slight<br />

reallocation <strong>of</strong> hours from the weekday platform.<br />

Transbay 16.0% 14.1% -1.9%<br />

Analysis <strong>of</strong> the above shows a minor increase in local service, <strong>of</strong>fset primarily by a<br />

reduction in Transbay services. The reductions proposed for Transbay service<br />

represent a balanced plan between allocation and demonstrated demand. As shown<br />

below, increased trips were added to several Transbay lines; staff will continue to<br />

monitor the operations <strong>of</strong> the lines and adjust trips accordingly.

RevSAP Final Plan Details<br />

Similar to the SAP, staff has identified service adjustments in five (5) general areas:<br />

• Western Contra Costa County<br />

• <strong>No</strong>rthern Alameda County<br />

• Central Alameda County<br />

• Southern Alameda County (Special District 2)<br />

• Transbay Service<br />

The tables below provide detail on the final staff recommendations and rationale related<br />

to the RevSAP proposal. Changes were made based largely on public comment<br />

received during the SAP process, as well as staff analysis <strong>of</strong> ridership reductions<br />

completed during the SAP process. As stated above, service restorations were<br />

prioritized on demonstrated demand (ridership), line spacing guidelines (coverage), and<br />

lifeline considerations (span). The information provided below represents a combination<br />

<strong>of</strong> weekday and weekend changes. A complete table <strong>of</strong> the RevSAP will be provided at<br />

the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> meeting.<br />

Special Circumstance Recommendations<br />

Service to Oakland Zoo<br />

Currently the lines 56 and 98 provide service to the streets surrounding the Oakland<br />

Zoo, but do not travel directly on Zoo property. Unfortunately, this can result in a<br />

difficult walk for bus patrons desiring service to the Zoo. Appropriate to the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> the SAP, the decision process related to discontinuation <strong>of</strong> service to


<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>No</strong>. <strong>09</strong>-<strong>217d</strong><br />

Meeting Date: <strong>No</strong>vember 18, 20<strong>09</strong><br />

Page 11 <strong>of</strong> 16<br />

the Zoo was exclusively based on demonstrated use (or the lack there<strong>of</strong>). The ridership<br />

analysis <strong>of</strong> lines 56 and 98 showed the following daily boarding activity at all stops<br />

directly adjacent to the Zoo:<br />

• Weekday – 44<br />

• Saturday – 22<br />

• Sunday – 22<br />

Subsequently, due in large part to a successful Zoo patron mobilization campaign, the<br />

District has received well over 250 emails in reference to the SAP proposal <strong>of</strong><br />

discontinuation <strong>of</strong> the lines that provide service to the Oakland Zoo. Zoo management<br />

has requested reconsideration <strong>of</strong> the SAP proposal.<br />

Staff feels strongly that a dedicated route to/from the Zoo would not be a sustainable<br />

line. However, with the RevSAP, staff was able to apportion a small amount <strong>of</strong> hours to<br />

augment the Line 46. This allocation enables the District to provide service to/from the<br />

Oakland Zoo every 30 minutes, Monday through Friday. Under the RevSAP, the Zoo<br />

will be an actual destination <strong>of</strong> the Line 46 and will drop patrons at the lower entrance to<br />

the facility, providing direct service. The Zoo has agreed to allow bus operators use <strong>of</strong><br />

restroom facilities required at the end <strong>of</strong> the lines.<br />

As the Line 46 does not operate during weekends currently, there will be no service to<br />

the Zoo on weekends. Should the Zoo feel that provision <strong>of</strong> service on weekends is<br />

critical to its operation, staff suggests that the District and the Zoo collaborate to find<br />

alternative funding strategies. It’s estimated that weekend service to the Zoo for 12<br />

hours per day would require (net farebox), approximately $175,000 in operating<br />

subsidies on an annual basis.<br />

Service to the City <strong>of</strong> Berkeley<br />

During the public comments process, staff and Director Harper were in attendance at a<br />

meeting <strong>of</strong> the Berkeley Transportation Commission to listen to public comment<br />

regarding the proposed changes. During that meeting, a detailed response to the SAP<br />

was presented to the Commission (at the request <strong>of</strong> Berkeley Councilmembers) that<br />

outlined concerns with the proposed changes and <strong>of</strong>fered different options for continued<br />

service provision to the neighborhoods <strong>of</strong> Berkeley. Additionally, the City Manager<br />

provided a comment letter to the SAP that identified particular concerns and issues with<br />

the proposal.<br />

District staff reviewed their suggestions and elected to change the service platform in<br />

Berkeley based on several <strong>of</strong> the direct recommendations in the City Manager’s letter,<br />

as well as neighborhood line restructuring proposed in the Transportation Commission<br />

report. Changes include: restoration <strong>of</strong> Line 67; restoration <strong>of</strong> Line 4 frequency;<br />

extension <strong>of</strong> Line 25 service to 8pm. Additionally, a new hybrid neighborhood bidirectional<br />

circulator route was created that links the Rockridge BART station to<br />

Downtown Berkeley and West Berkeley (7 th Street) via Dwight and Ashby. This new<br />

circulator partially duplicates service currently provided by the West Berkeley Shuttle.

Meeting Date: <strong>No</strong>vember 18, 20<strong>09</strong><br />

Page 12 <strong>of</strong> 16<br />

Staff is in discussions with the city about the future potential to reallocate revenues used<br />

to fund the West Berkeley Shuttle to help support continued service to the west side.<br />

Line 51<br />

As identified in the Line 51 Service and Reliability Report (51 Report), Line 51 is <strong>AC</strong><br />

Transit’s highest ridership line (18,747 passengers per day), has the highest number <strong>of</strong><br />

trips (205) <strong>of</strong> any single line, and currently has the highest productivity ratio (56.15<br />

passengers per platform hour) <strong>of</strong> all lines operated by the District. However, the line<br />

suffers from crippling on-time performance issues that result in serious reliability issues<br />

and an inefficient operations pr<strong>of</strong>ile. Of the six (6) corridor segments along the line,<br />

none were rated above Level <strong>of</strong> Service (LOS) D (“Irregular headways, with some<br />

bunching”), with a preponderance <strong>of</strong> occurrences <strong>of</strong> LOS E (“Frequent bunching”).<br />

The 51 Report provides a series <strong>of</strong> recommendations for changes to various aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

the line, including: bus stops, route alignment, fare payment, scheduling, line<br />

management techniques, etc. The original SAP included the recommendations chapter<br />

<strong>of</strong> the 51 Report for discussion during the public process, but only one recommendation<br />

from the 51 Report was proposed for immediate implementation, splitting the line at<br />

Rockridge BART.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the main tenets <strong>of</strong> the SAP process was to ensure that District services would be<br />

operated well, and that requires some hard decisions on legacy lines. The Line 51<br />

Report states that the portion <strong>of</strong> the line between Berkeley Amtrak and College/Manila<br />

alone represents 51% <strong>of</strong> the delay northbound, and 45% <strong>of</strong> the delay southbound. This<br />

segment represents 39% <strong>of</strong> the mileage <strong>of</strong> the entire line.<br />

Given the analysis provided, the RevSAP includes the following final recommendation<br />

for service along the Broadway/College/University corridor:<br />

1. Short Term – Continue with proposed split <strong>of</strong> the Line at the Rockridge BART<br />

station. The 51 Report estimates that as much as 13% <strong>of</strong> the ridership will be<br />

affected by this proposal and potentially required to transfer at the Rockridge<br />

BART station.<br />

2. Medium Term – Implement the recommendations identified within the 51 Report.<br />

Staff proposes to return to the <strong>Board</strong> in January 2010 with a final version <strong>of</strong> the<br />

report outlining a plan for implementation <strong>of</strong> all recommendations.<br />

3. Long Term – Implementation <strong>of</strong> an enhanced bus system as envisioned in the<br />

<strong>AC</strong> Transit Strategic Vision.<br />

Line NL<br />

The SAP proposal for the Line NL was not changed as part <strong>of</strong> the restoration process.<br />

The re-introduction <strong>of</strong> Line 58L will provide much needed direct service from the Laurel<br />

neighborhood, connecting that part <strong>of</strong> MacArthur Blvd directly with downtown Oakland.<br />

However, staff has concerns about peak load capacity <strong>of</strong> the NL, particularly in the


<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>No</strong>. <strong>09</strong>-<strong>217d</strong><br />

Meeting Date: <strong>No</strong>vember 18, 20<strong>09</strong><br />

Page 13 <strong>of</strong> 16<br />

afternoon/evening rush. Additionally, during the comment period, the District received<br />

requests for service in the Grand Lake/Lakeshore area, previously supplied by Line 13.<br />

A review <strong>of</strong> ridership statistics shows that <strong>of</strong> the riders who use the NL for Transbay<br />

service:<br />

• Eastbound approximately 85% disembark from the line by the MacArthur and<br />

Lakeshore stop eastbound, and<br />

• Westbound approximately 90% <strong>of</strong> the riders going to the Transbay Terminal<br />

begin boarding at Lake Park/Lakeshore.<br />

Recommendations for the line include:<br />

1. Short Term – Given these statistics, as well as public comments related to the<br />

discontinuation <strong>of</strong> the Line 13, staff proposes the creation <strong>of</strong> a new Transbay<br />

Line (BA) that will provide peak-only service to the Crocker Highlands area <strong>of</strong><br />

Oakland, and operate along Grand Avenue on similar routing to the Line NL.<br />

2. Medium Term – Implement the recommendations identified in the 51 Report.<br />

Staff proposes to return to the <strong>Board</strong> in January 2010 with a final version <strong>of</strong> the<br />

report outlining a plan for implementation <strong>of</strong> all recommendations.<br />

3. Long Term – The MacArthur/Airport corridor is one <strong>of</strong> the 4 corridors within the<br />

District proposed for conversion to Bus Rapid Transit. The District should<br />

continue to support the implementation <strong>of</strong> enhanced bus opportunities, including<br />

Bus Rapid Transit, along this corridor.<br />

Cedar Street Agreement<br />

On June 19, 1991 the District entered into a settlement agreement with the Cedar Street<br />

Neighborhood Association (CSNA) regarding service along Cedar Street. The<br />

agreement stipulates the types <strong>of</strong> vehicles, number <strong>of</strong> trips, as well as hours per day<br />

that District buses may traverse Cedar Street. Specifically:<br />

• Vehicles – The agreement allows for the operation <strong>of</strong> “standard diesel” buses in<br />

the peak periods, and “vans” during midday. This terminology has come to mean<br />

that peak service could be operated by use <strong>of</strong> 40 foot buses, and midday service<br />

by 30 foot buses. Since the initiation <strong>of</strong> the Line 19, <strong>AC</strong> Transit only programs 30<br />

foot buses for service along Cedar Street.<br />

• Service (weekday) – Service from 6am to 10am may range in trips from 22 to 30.<br />

Service from 10am to 4pm carries no trip number specification, but it must be<br />

operated in “vans”. Service from 4pm to 7pm may range in trips from 20 to 26,<br />

and under no circumstance shall the total number <strong>of</strong> daily trips exceed 48<br />

• Service (weekend) – <strong>No</strong> hours delineations, just vehicle type requirements.<br />

It is relevant to note that the Transit Streets Map adopted with City <strong>of</strong> Berkeley’s<br />

General Plan identifies Cedar Street as a “secondary route”. Secondary routes “are<br />

routes that are necessary to provide convenient access to other areas <strong>of</strong> the city and<br />

supplement primary routes.”


<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>No</strong>. <strong>09</strong>-<strong>217d</strong><br />

Meeting Date: <strong>No</strong>vember 18, 20<strong>09</strong><br />

Page 14 <strong>of</strong> 16<br />

A key component <strong>of</strong> the SAP involved the creation <strong>of</strong> new neighborhood circulators or<br />

shuttles that provide relatively quick trips to/from major centers <strong>of</strong> activity. These trips<br />

would be focused to operate in a particular area <strong>of</strong> the District (region <strong>of</strong> a city) and on a<br />

bi-directional platform.<br />

The SAP proposed the implementation <strong>of</strong> a <strong>No</strong>rth Berkeley Circulator route (Line 25)<br />

that would provide service between neighborhoods in <strong>No</strong>rth Berkeley to downtown. The<br />

service would operate bi-directionally, departing from downtown every 15 minutes in<br />

opposing directions, totaling 4 buses through the area per hour. Based on public<br />

comment received, the RevSAP would augment that service by extending the operating<br />

hours from 6am to 8pm. This would result in 56 trips per day providing service to the<br />

neighborhood.<br />

By operating the service in 30 foot buses, and maintaining the peak maximum trip<br />

allowance (am – 30, pm – 26), staff feels that the spirit <strong>of</strong> the agreement is met. The<br />

General Counsel’s <strong>of</strong>fice will be scheduling a meeting between staff and the CSNA to<br />

review the proposed service and receive feedback.<br />

Title VI Analysis<br />

As stated in <strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-161, a cursory Title VI analysis was completed during the initial<br />

proposal development process for the SAP. Subsequently, the Long Range Planning staff<br />

began work on the formal review <strong>of</strong> the SAP; however, work was temporarily postponed<br />

given the possibility <strong>of</strong> service restorations that would have had definite impacts on the<br />

analysis. Planning staff has resumed that work and will provide the Title VI report to the<br />

<strong>Board</strong> at its meeting on December 16, 20<strong>09</strong> in connection with final consideration <strong>of</strong> the<br />

RevSAP.<br />

In review <strong>of</strong> the Title VI report (<strong>GM</strong> memo 03-199) for the service reductions completed in<br />

2003, staff finds that out <strong>of</strong> the eight (8) routes highlighted during the analysis, the Line 47 –<br />

Maxwell Park is the only service still in operation from that period. The RevSAP<br />

recommendation for the Line 47 includes the restoration <strong>of</strong> peak-only 45 minute frequency<br />

service. The final Title VI report for the RevSAP will assess whether this service is<br />

adequate, or whether a disparate impact remains.<br />

Post Implementation Monitoring Plan<br />

Staff has completed analysis regarding forecasted ridership impacts to service proposals.<br />

Impacts to services that are being discontinued are fairly straightforward to model; however,<br />

changes to frequency on a line represent a forecasting challenge. Unfortunately, most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

modeling and forecasting methods are reliant upon existing data, and information from other<br />

transit properties that have varying land use patterns and operating conditions. In short,<br />

there are no truly accurate models for ridership estimates related to service reductions. That<br />

said, one method for measuring success is to review transit use by geographic area and<br />

compare both raw ridership and productivity. Additionally, a chief tenant <strong>of</strong> the SAP and<br />

RevSAP related to increases in reliability and operations effectiveness. A key indicator <strong>of</strong> a<br />

line’s effectiveness is On-Time-Performance (OTP) by line, by direction and by time-<strong>of</strong>-day.

The District should employ a robust post-implementation monitoring program to help<br />

adequately assess the efficacy <strong>of</strong> service changes. This effort will include the determination<br />

<strong>of</strong> standards and measures for lines to be evaluated and should be tied to requirements for<br />

adjustments, should lines not perform up to standard. There are many methods for<br />

development <strong>of</strong> a monitoring program, and staff proposes to provide a plan to the <strong>Board</strong> for<br />

consideration in February 2010.<br />

Next Steps:<br />

Public Outreach – Staff is preparing information for one final community workshop for the<br />

RevSAP. This meeting is tentatively scheduled to occur on Tuesday, December 1, 20<strong>09</strong> at<br />

the District general <strong>of</strong>fices. Additionally, staff is exploring the possibility <strong>of</strong> using interactive<br />

technologies and conducting a webinar as well.<br />

20<strong>09</strong> Service Adjustments Plan Public Comments<br />

<strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-<strong>217d</strong><br />

Attachment A1<br />

Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 6<br />

The 20<strong>09</strong> Draft Service Adjustments Plan (SAP) was developed in response to the<br />

declaration <strong>of</strong> a Fiscal Emergency by the District on June 24, 20<strong>09</strong>. The SAP proposed<br />

both service adjustments and reductions that would result in the elimination <strong>of</strong> 15% <strong>of</strong><br />

the Districts Platform (gate to gate) hours. Due to the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the reduction, a<br />

robust and comprehensive Public Outreach strategy was developed and implemented.<br />

In additional to other formats to provide comments, the following types <strong>of</strong><br />

meetings/briefings were held:<br />

• Community Workshops (2 rounds)<br />

• Local Elected Officials Briefings<br />

• Individual Director Briefings<br />

• City Staff Briefings<br />

• Funding Agency Briefings<br />

• City Council, Commission and Liaison Committee Briefings<br />

• Public Hearings (3 meetings)<br />

For a detailed list <strong>of</strong> meetings conducted, please refer to Table 1 at the end <strong>of</strong> this<br />

report.<br />

Community Workshops<br />

Two rounds <strong>of</strong> community workshops were held during the SAP process, distinct from<br />

each other based on the timing <strong>of</strong> the overall plan development. There were two main<br />

goals associated with these workshops:<br />

1. Information sharing – Planners/staff were encouraged to spend time with<br />

attendees talking to them about how/why they use the service and what effect<br />

proposed changes would have.<br />

2. Information obtaining – Attendees provided valuable input on behavioral uses <strong>of</strong><br />

the service as well as feedback on the service proposals themselves.<br />

The first series <strong>of</strong> five (5) workshops involved iterative one-on-one discussion between<br />

District Planners/staff and the attendees to assess travel and use patterns. Additionally,<br />

staff led attendees through a series <strong>of</strong> “trade-<strong>of</strong>f” questions/statements. Information<br />

from this exercise was used in the development <strong>of</strong> the service proposals that were<br />

presented during the 2 nd round <strong>of</strong> workshops. For more information on the “trade-<strong>of</strong>f”<br />

exercise, please refer to <strong>AC</strong> Transit <strong>GM</strong> <strong>Memo</strong> <strong>09</strong>-197, presented to the <strong>AC</strong> Transit<br />

<strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> on July 29, 20<strong>09</strong>.<br />

The second series <strong>of</strong> eight (8) workshops involved providing a general overview <strong>of</strong> the<br />

process and methodology used for the determination <strong>of</strong> the service proposals.<br />

Attendees were then encouraged to discuss proposed changes with Planners and staff<br />

where their comments/questions and suggestions were taken. Public Comment sheets<br />

Many individuals and organizations availed themselves <strong>of</strong> the multiple opportunities for<br />

comment and input.<br />

Public Hearings<br />

The SAP was first presented to the <strong>AC</strong> Transit <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> on June 24, 20<strong>09</strong>. On<br />

d65940519fa5c016ff5f1f1a355 and received unprecedented response. By having a<br />

separate comment “button” for each line, commenting was made easier for the public,<br />

which made final tally <strong>of</strong> comments easier for District staff.<br />

Petitions<br />

14 petitions were received by the District during the comment period. These petitions<br />

related to service proposals for the following lines: 7, 11, 12, 18 (2), 19 (3), 52L, 59 (2),<br />

84, 92, CB, and L. Additionally, a petition from Newark Gardens was received<br />

regarding service proposals in Newark.<br />

Final Comment Tally<br />

The comment period closed on September 30, 20<strong>09</strong> at 8:00pm and thousands <strong>of</strong><br />

comments, both individual and collective were received and entered into the public<br />

There is some overlap <strong>of</strong> categories within the counts listed above, as some comments<br />

were submitted on multiple lines or by multiple mediums. In particular, many individuals<br />

submitted comments at the Public Workshops as well as on the <strong>AC</strong> Transit Website. As<br />

a result, there may be several hundred overlapped comments appearing in the tallies<br />

listed above. It should also be noted that not all individual comments were regarding a<br />

specific line. Nearly half <strong>of</strong> all general comments were related to revising the District’s<br />

transfer policy to lengthen the amount <strong>of</strong> time that the transfer is effective. There were<br />

also several general comments regarding support for the proposed use <strong>of</strong> Bus Rapid<br />

Transit funds for service preservation and opposition to the District’s use <strong>of</strong> Van Hool<br />

buses. While not route specific, these changes were submitted in response to the<br />

Service Adjustments Plan, and so are mentioned here.<br />

In an attempt to make the comments as user friendly as possible for Staff, the <strong>AC</strong><br />

Transit <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> and the Public, the comments received were indexed, in five<br />

separate binders, in the following way:<br />

• Individual comments were organized by route.<br />

• Workshop comments were grouped by workshop location.<br />

• Petitions and letters from elected <strong>of</strong>ficials and community organizations were<br />

separated.<br />

• Specific service changes receiving an unusually large number <strong>of</strong> comments in<br />

opposition, such as service elimination to the Oakland Zoo, were grouped<br />

together.<br />

After categorizing and filing each Public Comment, Staff began analysis <strong>of</strong> the<br />

comments for trends, and to categorize them as either positive (pro) or negative (con)<br />

by both individuals and organizations. Comments that we deemed most useful to Staff<br />

in planning potential service add-backs were highlighted and entered into a separate<br />

document, the 20<strong>09</strong> Service Adjustments Plan Public Comment Table (Table 2, SAP<br />

Comments).<br />

General, <strong>No</strong>n-Route Specific Comments<br />

Individual tally counts and highlighted comments can be read in the full SAP Database.<br />

However a few summary comments are made here in order to help delineate overarching<br />

themes and items <strong>of</strong> particular interest. The first <strong>of</strong> these topics concerns<br />

suggestions from the Public <strong>of</strong> how the District might operate more efficiently. Since<br />

some <strong>of</strong> these suggestions seem to come up repeatedly, a few <strong>of</strong> them are addressed<br />

here, and individual examples have been quoted as they were received in the Public<br />

Comments.<br />

Comment – “Consider smaller buses rather than reducing frequencies”<br />

Response – When fuel, maintenance, operators’ salaries (operators are paid the<br />

same amount regardless <strong>of</strong> the size <strong>of</strong> bus they are driving), etc., are factored in,<br />

there is actually no significant cost difference between operating a small bus and<br />

larger one. That said, we do use smaller, 30-foot buses whenever we can, most<br />

notably on lines in the hills with narrow, winding streets. Even then, smaller buses<br />

are not always practical, given ridership volume. It’s important to remember that<br />

while you may not see your neighborhood bus full in the middle <strong>of</strong> the day, chances<br />

are that it is well-used during commute times. Likewise, if you see a bus near the<br />

end <strong>of</strong> its line, it will likely have fewer people on it.<br />

Comment – “Employ used and older buses/vehicles”<br />

Response – <strong>AC</strong> Transit employs a rigorous system <strong>of</strong> both preventative and<br />

responsive maintenance and tries to maximize the use that we get out <strong>of</strong> each<br />

vehicle purchased. However, buses, like other vehicles, reach an age where it can<br />

be more costly to keep repairing the vehicle than to replace it. In addition, the<br />

District must adhere to many guidelines for emissions, etc., that older buses may not<br />

meet. There are strict guidelines regarding what type <strong>of</strong> bus may be operated, and<br />

the condition that it must be in, that do not always make it possible to keep older<br />

vehicles in service.<br />

Comment – “Use a Dial-a-Ride type service with vans instead”<br />

Response – Operations costs for demand-responsive services, like Dial-a-Ride, are<br />

more expensive per passenger than running a fixed route on a given line. As<br />

mentioned above, the bulk <strong>of</strong> the costs associated with operations <strong>of</strong> a bus route are<br />

embedded in labor costs. Provision <strong>of</strong> fixed route transit allows operators to spread<br />

administrative costs over more lines due to the relative efficiency <strong>of</strong> fixed route<br />

operations. In contrast, demand-responsive services require substantially more<br />

resources for effective dispatching and are considerably more costly to operate. In<br />

addition, demand responsive services <strong>of</strong> the type described above would hold fewer<br />

passengers per vehicle, with the same fare, resulting in a higher cost per passenger.<br />

Comment - “Why don’t you cut back on salaries, including the General Manager and<br />

drivers, instead <strong>of</strong> cutting bus routes?”<br />

Response – Staff produced $12.9 million dollars in cost savings in Fiscal Year 20<strong>09</strong>-<br />

10. Staff is committed to implementing more efficient ways to provide service. As a<br />

result <strong>of</strong> budget cuts and service reductions, the District plans to eliminate 233<br />

positions from the payroll by the end <strong>of</strong> Fiscal Year 20<strong>09</strong>-10.<br />

Comment – How did you come up with the Service Adjustments Plan?<br />

Response – The Service Adjustments Plan was the result <strong>of</strong> detailed analysis by <strong>AC</strong><br />

Transit Staff <strong>of</strong> the following types <strong>of</strong> data:<br />

� Input from Bus Operators and Supervisors<br />

� Input from the Public during the first set <strong>of</strong> Public Workshops<br />

� Passenger counts (including Automatic Passenger Data by stop and time <strong>of</strong><br />

day)<br />

� Demographics (including population density, car ownership, household<br />

income, minority households, etc.)<br />

� Route Operations and Reliability<br />

� Landmarks and major destinations (including schools, hospitals, social<br />

services, etc.)<br />

� Information regarding planned construction and public works projects in<br />

affected areas that would change routing<br />

I take the last morning bus <strong>of</strong> the C line everyday at the stop at 40th and<br />

If you remove the last morning C bus (8:49 am at 40th and Broadway),<br />

please do keep the last CB bus running so that I can have an alternate<br />

way to get to work in SF: 1<br />

Taking the F bus away from the Market Street corridor will have an<br />

adverse impact on poor and minority communities' access to San<br />

Francisco. These communities are in many cases far from BART, and need<br />

the service that the F bus provides. Please don't take it away. Emeryville<br />

Please don't cut the 3:15 bus leaving San Francisco! I usually take this bus<br />

Oakland Unified School District library worker opposes any cuts to 600<br />

series<br />

Try Sponsorship, "Approach various people affected by these changes – businesses, individuals – give them a chance to contribute, to save their businesses, to save their lifeline to get you<br />

District should find a way for interested passengers to contact each other regarding lobbying for transit funding<br />

<strong>GM</strong> should be dismissed; Van Hool buses are dangerous and waste money<br />

Think outside the box; look for other funding sources other than State<br />

Extend transfers to two hours<br />

Cost <strong>of</strong> Van Hool buses, versus domestic buses, could have reduced service cuts<br />

It's fine to reduce frequency or change routing if the buses will run on time<br />

Please consider ridership characteristics; who rides, not just how many people<br />

Limit to service reductions should be to late night service levels.<br />

Least harmful method <strong>of</strong> reducing service is to increase headways.<br />

Public awareness about workshops should be posted on buses.<br />

Public awareness about workshops should be posted in at least five languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog and Vietnamese).<br />

Provide printable version <strong>of</strong> proposed service changes in PDF format.<br />
