2. On April 28, 2011 , as part of ongoing efforts to transition City operations to high-
performing, the Council conducted its first in a series of strategic planning study
sessions to assess the current status of the City organization and develop policy
objectives for the next two fiscal years. Staff collaborated on the Two-Year Work
Plan, a list of numerous initiatives geared toward community improvement.
Development of a fixed-route transit service was among the Work Plan items
identified by the Parks and Recreation Department.
3. On March 21, 2012, as part of its annual review of local transportation services, the
Parks and Recreation Commission considered the implications of adding a fixed-
route shuttle service, ultimately concluding to recommend its inclusion in the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2012-13 City Budget.
4. On June 19, 2012, the Council approved the FY 2012-13 City Budget, which
included a $90,000 Proposition A appropriation in the Public Transportation Account
for fixed-route transit. Toward developing this new service, staff moved forward in
initiating a feasibility study.
5. On November 1, 2012, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to conduct a
Fixed-Route Transit System Needs Assessment and Planning Study (Attachment
"B").
6. By the November 30 RFP response deadline, proposals were received from two
firms (i.e., Diversified Transportation Solutions (DTS) and 181 Group). Review was
conducted by Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Burroughs, Assistant to the City
Manager Brian Haworth and Management Analyst Wendy Chung, with consensus to
proceed with interviewing both proposers.
7. On December 21 , 2012, Parks and Recreation Director Burroughs and Management
Analyst Chung met with representatives from IBl Group and DTS. Following the
firms' presentations on individual qualifications and project approach, staff
concluded recommending DTS (Attachment "C") to continue on in conducting the
Fixed-Route Transit System Needs Assessment and Planning Study.
ANALYSIS:
Currently, local public transportation in Temple City is limited to the City's DAR for
eligible seniors and residents of limited mobility, with no existing program for the general
population. Though Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)
and Foothill Transit run services within city limits, because routes are restricted to
North-South or East-West travel along major arterials, they are not conducive to short-
distance local trips.

The purpose of this requested needs assessment and planning study is to work with
community members to identify unmet mobility needs and develop a fixed-route transit
system that will provide access to local destinations. Doing so, staff selected DTS to
perform the project scope of work based on the firm 's relevant experience in
surrounding communities (e.g., Arcadia, El Monte and Baldwin Park); proposed project
budget; and innovative approach that included strategic funding opportunities and
possibilities for joint ventures, all of which will contribute to the future sustainability of a
transit program.
The study itself is anticipated to last about four months, and will include analysis of
existing transportation offerings in and around Temple City, as well as input from
community members via surveys and two public workshops. DTS will also be
responsible for drafting an implementation plan with route alternatives, stop locations,
operation hours, capital expenses and estimated program costs, allowing the City to
establish a transit system that will best meet local needs while considering available
resources.
Ultimately, adding a new public transportation service would be in line with the City's
ongoing efforts to plan for the community's long-term health and prosperity. The
recently adopted Downtown Parking Study recommended a shuttle to address the
downtown area's parking supply shortage. As an added benefit, a shuttle could improve
access to local commercial sites and support economic development, meanwhile also
furthering th e City's goal of expanding its multimodal transportation network. Already,
the City is developing pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Together with an added transit
system, these new and improved travel options will enhance local mobility, promote
sustainable behavior and encourage physical activity, overall elevating community
quality of life.
It should be noted that a new fixed-route transit program would supplement and not
replace the existing DAR . Also, while the study will develop potential route and
operation schemes for a local transit service, implementation will depend on available
resources. Like DAR, a shuttle would likely be funded from the City's Proposition A
revenues. The City annually requests Proposition A and C sales tax disbursements from
MTA for public transportation and roadway improvement projects (e.g., Rosemead
Boulevard Enhancement Project). In the FY 2012-13 City Budget, $90,000 of
Proposition A funds from the Public Transportation budget was allocated for fixed-route
transit-i.e., this study and costs incurred from subsequent implementation, including
capital and operational costs.
CONCLUSION:
By initiating this fixed-route transit study, the City is responding to expressed community
demand for alternative mobility options, while also planning for sustainable

transportation infrastructure. Through its comprehensive analysis of existing conditions
and direct engagement with the public, the study will ensure the development of an
effective, responsive and sustainable system that will best serve the community.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As part of the FY 2012-13 City Budget approval process, the City Council appropriated
$90,000 in Proposition A funds from the Public Transportation Account for fixed-route
transit. Of that amount, $39,850 will cover the cost of this study, with the remaining
balance available for potential subsequent implementation. Based on the anticipated
project timeline, as it is unlikely that a program will be fully implemented this fiscal year
(i.e., by June 30, 2013), the unused $50,150 will be carried over when the City requests
Proposition A funding for FY 2013-14.
There is no additional fiscal impact to the FY 2012-13 City Budget.

Task 4-Develop Operating Plan
In Task 4. Diversified Transpor1ation Solutions will develop an operating plan for fixed-
route service in the Temple City community. The initial operating plan will be developed
based on the review of documentation provided by the City. findings of the Existing
Condition s analysis. input ti·om community stakeholders and City statl discussions with
area transit operators. and first-hand information gathered from field reviews.
The team· s approach to the development of service alternatives focuses on three
interrelated components: Transit Nctwo1·k Design, Resource Planning and
Implementation Planning. A description of each activity is briefly outlined below.
Develop Network Plan
Based on the information gathered in the previous tasks, Diversified
Transportation Solutions will develop a draft plan for a fixed-route transit route
network. The network design will address key travel linkages and trip generators
to be served. the structure of the route network, connections with other transit
operators to enhance local and regional travel_ and identification of passenger
amenities that would enhance transit usage. The network design will include:
•
•
•
•
Identification of major trip attractors and activity centers in and around the
Temple City area. These centers include employment centers. shopping
centers. senior centers, hotels. government agencies. schools and community
centers.
Recommended route structure tor fixed-route services designed to link major
destinations and trip generators. A minimum of two potential routes will be
developed in this process.
Recommended locations for bu s stops to provide maximum passenger access
to transit services and linkages with other regional transit providers. Potential
negative impacts to residents and the local community around bus stops such
as noise or parking disruption will be considered in the placement of bus
stops.
Identification of passenger amenities that could enhance transit usage .
Amenities to be considered include bu s benches and shelters, trash
receptacles, lighting. and posting of bus schedules at bus stops. Potential bus
stop locations will be assessed regarding the space available for various
A-5
amemttes. and the possible impacts of these amenities to the aesthetic
character of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Roderick Goldm an of Diversified Transp01tation Solutions has extensive
knowledge of the existing transit network in the Templ e City area, and has
worked closely with staff from area transit agencies over for the past 20 years.
including Metro. Foothill Transit and Montebello Bu s Lines. In the network
planning process, Project Team will meet with representatives of each agency to
discuss coordinati on of bu s stops. impacts to existing ridership and revenu es. and
methods to deve lop an integrated transit network in the Te mple City community.
Evan Brooks Associates have strong ti es with the surrounding local jurisdi cti on as
well as with the County. Metro. Foothill Transit. as well with bus manu facturers
and bus contract operators. In addition to providing community relation and
outreach sup port. EBA can provide City staff with governm ent relations.
ad vocacy and outreach to the transit related communities.
Maps will be devel oped by Kam Research us ing Arc View GIS mapping software.
The maps to be included in the operating plan will indi cate existing transit
services operated within the city. major activity centers, and the reco mmended
fixed-route network, including bus stops and transfer connections with other
trans it operators.
Develop Resource Plan
The Resource Plan identities the resources required to operate servtce. The
Resource Plan wi II address the followi ng elements:
•
•
•
•
•
Outlin e of the operating parameters for new fi xed-route transit service .
Operating parameters include recommended service frequencies and
span of service for various times of the day and days of the week. A
base line level of service to be reviewed could include service
frequencies no greater than 30 minutes and a span of service between
10-14 hours per day. depending on input from stakeholders and service
levels of surroundi ng transit operators.
Determination of transit service running times for the recommended
route network.
Development of bus operating schedules for each proposed route .
Estimation of potential ridership demand for each proposed route .
Identification of service hours, service mil es. vehicles. and operators
required to operate transit service.
Estimation of board ings per vehicle hour. operating costs and
projection of passenger revenues for eac h proposa l.

FIXED-ROUTE TRANSIT SYSTEM
NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING STUDY
SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
The City of Temple City (City) seeks technical assistance from a qualified transportation
planning Consultant to conduct a needs assessment and planning study for a local fixed-
route transit system. The analysis will include an evaluation of existing conditions;
preliminary coordination with local and regional transit operators; identification of route and
operating alternatives based on input from City staff and the community; and selection of a
preferred alternative. The preferred alternative will serve as the basis for the development of
a conceptual operating plan, cost estimate, and implementation plan that will be prepared
at sufficient detail for use in the preparation of grant applications.
BACKGROUND
Temple City is a small suburban community, about 13 miles northeast of Downtown Los
Angeles. It is located at the hea rt of the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County, and is
bordered by the Cities of Arcadia, El Monte and Rosemead, as well as sections of County
unincorporated areas. At four square miles, the city holds a population of 35,7 49,
comprising 11,600 households. Average household income is $80,000 and average
residential sale price is $560,000.
The City of Temple City is a contract city with a Council-Manager form of government. Since
2010, the City has implemented strategic planning to elevate organizational performance
and service to the community. One identified goal is the development of a multimodal
transportation network that will increase local mobility and connectivity, support economic
development and promote sustainable practices. Toward doing so, the City is enhancing
pedestrian faci lities and safe routes to school; initiating streetscape enhancement projects
on Rosemead Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive; and engaging in numerous planning studies,
including the Downtown Parking Study, Traffic Calming Master Plan and a first-ever Bicycle
Master Plan . This fixed-route transit system development study is expected to integrate
these existing efforts.
Currently, local public transportation service in Temple City is limited to the City's Dial-A-Ride
for residents of limited mobility. There is no existing local transit program for the general
public, though regional public transportation is provided by Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Tra nsportation Authority (Metro) and Foothill Transit. In adding a local transit system, the
City hopes to further its mobility, connectivity and sustainability goals by increasing travel
options for residents, workers and visitors; improving linkages among residential,
RFP FOR FIXED-ROUTE TRANSIT STUDY I CITY OF TEMPLE CITY 2
commercial and institutional land uses; as well as supporting sustainability efforts by
promoting transit, bicycling and walking as viable alternatives to automobile travel. With the
City a former Pacific Electric Red Car town-tracks once ran down Las Tunas Drive-there is
an opportunity and interest to run trolley buses (i.e., not on cables or tracks) as revenue
vehicles.
SECTION II. SCOPE OF WORK
The successful bidder will conduct a study that 1) identifies existing conditions and assesses
local demand for a fixed-route transit system, and 2) develops a conceptual-level operating
plan for an efficient, cost-effective fixed-route transit program, based on study findings. All
results and requested deliverables and documentation shall be summarized and compiled
in a comprehensive report prepared for the City.
1. Existing Conditions Analysis and Route Planning
TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION AND DATA COLLECTION
Consultant will meet with City staff to finalize the project scope, timeline and budget; and
discuss goals and expectations. At this time, City staff will define the study area and
Consultant will identify relevant support documents to be utilized in the study-working
with the City and area transit operators (i.e., Metro, Foothil l Transit) to obtain these
resources, including but not limited to relevant General Plan El ements; Downtown
Specific Plan; Downtown Parking Study; Bicycle Master Pla n; Traffic Calming Master
Plan ; traffic counts and studies; current City Budget; local or regional sustainability plans;
demographic data; transit ridership of regional operators; list of potential transit trip
generators. Staff has also prepared a local survey of area fixed-route transit providers-
including operation hours, routes maps, fares, etc.
Following the meeting, Consultant and City staff will conduct a site tour to survey the
study area and identify locations of special interest.
Defiverabfes and documentation: Project initiation meeting minutes; data request
memo; site tour field notes, including digital images
TASK 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS
Consultant will acquire and review documents and data from the City, as well as contact
with existing transit operators that serve Temple City (Metro, Footh ill Transit, City's Dial-A-
Ride operator, etc.), to develop an Existing Conditions Analysis. Results will inform the
planning process by identifying the opportunities and challenges to implementing a local
fixed -route transit system.
Deliverables and documentation: Existing Conditions Analysis, including a summary of
focal and regional transportation policies; inventory of existing transit and paratransit
providers in Temple City and their operations (i.e., lines, operating hours, headways,
ridership data, user eligibility); review of current local funding sources and expenditures
on transit services; identification of focal activity centers (i.e. commercial, civic,
RFP FOR FIXE D-ROUTE TRANSIT STUDY I CITY OF TEMPLE CITY 3
institutional destinations, etc.); local demographics and travel characteristics; review of
local/and uses and development patterns, identifying potential trip destinations.

for fixed-route transit services, 3) identify major service areas and desired destinations,
4) develop potential transit routes, and 5) identify preferred alternatives. Workshops will
be conducted in English with Chinese translation provided. Presentations and handouts
will be prepared in English and Chinese.
Community Survey
Consultant will create and administer a community survey that will be available online,
as well as distributed at the public workshops and during one additional date-preferably
a well-attended community event to maximize responses. The primary goal of this survey
is to 1) gather data on local travel behavior, 2) assess community demand for fixed-route
transit services, 3) identify major service areas and desired destinations toward
developing potential t ransit routes. Surveys will be prepared in English and Chinese.
Deliverables and documentation: Local stakeholder Jist; meeting presentation materials,
including maps and presentation boards; meeting sign-in sheets; compilation of public
input collected at community workshops (and corresponding responses, if any); draft
and final survey; summary of survey responses.
2 . Alternatives Development and Analysis
Information collected during the previous tasks will be used to develop conceptual-level
operating alternatives, with preliminary cost estimates, addressing such key issues as:
ROUTES
Consultant will propose potential routes and stop locations, based on input from City
staff and public feedback gathered from community meetings and survey results.
Consultant will also identify existing and proposed transit support facilities, including
park-and-ride lots, transfer points with regional bus lines, trip destinations, etc.
Consultant will also identify coordination issues with existing regional bus lines.
OPERATIONS
RFP FOR FIXED-ROUTE TRANSIT STUDY I CITY OF TEMPLE CITY 4
Consultant wi ll propose operating hours and headways, responding to expressed
community need. Consultant will also provide preliminary cost comparisons of leasing or
purchasing vehicles and using various alternative fuels (i.e., compressed natural gas,
battery-electric power, propane, etc.) and various vehicle types (i.e., trolley, cutaway
buses, etc.).
FUNDING
Currently, the City's Dia l-A-Ride operates on Proposition A funding. It is anticipated that
the developed fixed-route transit system wi ll likewise be either self-sustained on Prop A
funds, and/or supplemented with external funding. Consultant will develop a list of
public (i.e., regional, state, federal, nonprofit, etc.) and private (i.e., advertising,
marketing, partnerships, etc.) funding sources that the City may be eligible for toward
funding t he local transit system.
PROGRAM STRATEGIES
Identify marketing opportunities and public outreach tools that the City may use to
attract and maintain ridership. Such include car wraps/graphics, web integration-e.g.,
transit trip planning, real-time transit tracking-transit passes, reduced fare programs,
etc.
Deliverables and documentation: Draft alternatives analysis report, including two (2) or
more potential routes, operating options (i.e., service hours, stop locations, headways,
preliminary capital investment comparisons, etc.) and associated cost estimates; list of
funding sources identifying funding cycles, filing deadlines, applicant eligibility and use
limitations; revised alternatives analysis report with City staff comments and Consultant
recommendations of preferred alternatives.
3 . Project Reporting, Presentation and Adoption
Consultant will compile all deliverables and documentation, including all prepared
memos, pertinent maps and analyses, into a draft study document for City staff's review
and comment. City staff will provide Consultant with a compiled listing of all comments
and revisions made to the draft plan and Consultant will produce a revised draft plan
reflecting all requested revisions and edits.
Consultant staff will attend one commission meeting and one City Council meeting to

City o[Temple City Request tor Proposals-Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
PROJECT APPROACH
The City of Temple City is a suburban community of Los Angeles County located within the San
Gabriel Valley. Over the past several years, the city has undertaken strategic efforts designed
to improve the organizational performance of the City's policymaking and administrative
structure, and to enhance the services provided to city residents.
As part of these efforts, one of the key goals city staff has identified is the development of a
multimodal transportation network that would increase local mobility and connectivity with
other transportation networks, support economic development in the city and promote
sustainability activities. Temple City presently operates local Dial-A-Ride service for city
residents with limited mobility, and the regional fixed-route transit services are provided to the
city by Metro and Foothill Transit. At this time, City staff would like to assess the potential for
development of a local fixed-route transit system, and is seeking the assistance of a consultant
in this endeavor.
In response to the City's request for assistance, Diversified Transportation Solutions and its
project team, Evan Brooks Associates/Language Network and Kam Research, propose to
undertake a comprehensive assessment of the environment for transit service in the City of
Temple City to evaluate the feasibility of operating fixed-route transit service in the city. This
assessment will include stakeholder and community outreach, identif ication of potential costs
and sources of revenue, coordination with local transit operators, and the development of an
operational plan that fits within the financial capacity of the City. Our project team includes
experts in transit service development, transportation financing, community outreach and GIS
mapping. Specific activities to be provided by the Diversified Transportation Solutions team
include the following:
• Identify existing conditions for transit service development;
• Identify potential sources of funding and revenue streams that could be used
towards transit operations, maintenance and the procurement of capital assets;
• Develop a financial plan that will outline the capacity for transit operations;
• Develop recommendations for a fixed-route transit network and resource allocation
that would result in efficient and effective system performance;
• Conduct outreach to residents to identify transportation needs;
• Identify marketing and outreach efforts to build ridership;
• Participate in meetings and presentations concerning service development.
The project duration will be approximately four months, with work expected to start in January
2013 and be completed in May 2013.
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 21
City of Temple City Request tor Proposals -Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1-Project Initiation and Data Collection
Within five days of receiving the Notice to Proceed, the Project Team will hold a project kick-off
meeting with Temple City staff to clarify project objectives and establish project management
systems. During the kick-off meeting, the consu lting team and city staff will discuss the
following:
• Goals and Expectations for the Project
• Review the Project Plan and Scope of Work
• Identify Key Contact Persons
• Progress Reporting Procedures
• Approaches for Obtaining Public Feedback
• Finalize Project Timelines, Deliverables and Due Dates
The Project Team will document any modifications to the Project Plan that are agreed upon by
the consulting team and city staff.
During the kick-off meeting, the Project Team will provide city staff with a listing of relevant
documents, reports and data that will be useful in identifying current and future policies and
activities that would potentially impact transportation in Temple City. The documentation will
include reports prepared by city staff such as the city budget, General Plan, Downtown Parking
Study and Downtown Specific Plan. Our team has worked closely with staff from area transit
agencies for several years, including Metro, Foothill Transit and Montebello Bus Lines, and
would be able to coordinate with those agen cies to gather ridership counts at local bus stops,
to identify transit trip generators and assess future regional transportation plans that could
impact Temple City.
After the kickoff meeting, the Project Team will participate w ith Temple City staff on a field tour
of the project area to review local activity centers, destinations and potential transit trip
generators that could be served by a new fixed-route transit service. We will document
information provided at each site by city staff and local residents and businesses, and take
photographs of significant features and details. The information collected during the field tour
will be included in a technical memorandum to city staff.
Within five days of the kick-off meeting, the consulting team will forward the technical
memorandum to the Temple City project manager summarizing the conclusions of the kick-off
meeting and field tour, including any revisions to the Project Plan and Scope of Work.
Project Management Schedule
Roderick Goldman of Diversified Transportation Solutions will conduct the following tasks to
t rack and maintain the schedule:

Task 1 De/iverables:
• Final Project Plan
• Data Request Memorandum
• Technical Memorandum with Minutes of Kick-off Meeting and Field Tour Findings
• Monthly Progress Reports
• Monthly Status Meetings
Task 2-Existing Conditions Analysis
Using the information collected in Task 1, Diversified Transportation Solutions and Evan Brooks
Associates will review all documentation provided to develop an analysis of the existing
conditions for transit in the City of Temple City. The Existing Conditions Analysis will include the
following information:
• An assessment of the City's current and future transportation, commercial development
and land use plans and policies and their potential impact to the operation of transit
service within the city.
• Assessment of 2010 Census data to develop a demographic profile and maps of the
Temple City community.
• Review of the current performance of transit and paratransit services operating in the
City of Temple City.
• Assessment of area travel patterns derived from area transit providers and 2010 U.S.
Census data.
• Information collected from discussions with local and regional transit providers
including Metro, Foothill Transit and Montebello Bus Lines.
• Findings from a field assessment of local activity centers related to the potential for
passenger access and bus stop placement.
• Review of current sources of funding in the City of Temple City budget that are used or
could be used for transit services.
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 23
City of Temple City Request tor Proposals-Fixed-Route Tronsit Study November 2012
Through our analysis of the existing conditions for transit service, our team will be able to
provide city staff with an existing conditions analysis that will identify if the environment exists
for development of a successful transit operation in the city, and specify a path forward
towards the development of a fixed-route operating plan.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• Existing Conditions Analysis Report
Task 3-Community Engagement
Meeting the transportation needs of the local community is the essential component in the
development of a transit service plan. It is, therefore, critical to identify and fully understand
those needs. By doing so, this allows the transit provider to focus their often limited resources
on those segments of the community that can receive the most benefit from the provision of
transit services.
To accomplish this task, Evan Brooks Associates will lead the community engagement effort by
coordinating meetings directly with residents and key community stakeholders and surveying
residents and businesses to obtain feedback about their transportation needs. This process will
gather important information, such as the types of trips made by residents, the locations
residents travel to and from, the times of day in which transportation is needed, and viewpoints
on whether a city-wide fixed-route transit system would meet these needs. This process also
ensures that the public is fully engaged in the planning process and can fully participate in
building consensus on service planning strategies.
• Conduct Public Workshops
Evan Brooks Associates will coordinate with city staff in scheduling two community workshops
and the locations where they will be held. Evan Brooks Associates has very effectively
facilitated stakeholder workshops and presentations for small and large gatherings, and will
facilitate the two community workshops.
To increase the potential for attendance it is suggested that at least one workshop be
scheduled in conjunction with a regularly-scheduled community meeting or community event.
Evan Brooks Associates will develop notices and supporting materials to notify local residents of
the purpose, times and locations of community workshop, and will work in coordination with
city staff to develop a list of local stakeholder to request their participation in the workshops.
Evan Brooks Associates, in association with Language Network, will produce presentation
materials (maps, notices and handouts) for the community workshops in English, Spanish and
Chinese languages.
During the community workshops, the consulting team will provide the public an opportunity to
provide input on their transportation needs, travel patterns and major travel origins and
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 24
City of Temple City Request for Proposals -Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
destinations, recommendations on routings and bus stop locations, and the overall demand for
local fixed-route transit service. The community workshops will be facilitated in English with
interpretation in Spanish and Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese). The verbal and written
comments from these workshops will be compiled and included in a technical memorandum.
• Community Survey
Evan Brooks Associates will work closely with City staff to develop and administer surveys to
Temple City residents to identify current opinions regarding the demand for the establishment
of city-wide transit service, to identify unmet transit needs and travel patterns, and identify
major travel origins and destinations. The survey instrument will be developed in coordination
with city staff, and will be prepared in English, Spanish and Chinese dialects (Mandarin and
Cantonese).
The community survey will be developed in a manner that will allow for the survey to be
conducted both in a paper version as well as via the Internet. Communication cards will also
be developed for distribution to the community that contain a QR (Quick Response) Code that
will allow for direct access to the online survey by use of a smart phone or tablet computer
equipped with appropriate applications. Evan Brooks Associates staff will conduct surveys
during at least one community workshop to maximize survey responses. Written and online
survey results will be collected, analyzed and summarized, with comments received from the
surveys used in the development of transit service alternatives.
Task 3 De/iverab/es:
• Stakeholder list
• Draft and final survey instrument
• Workshops presentation materials
• Workshop sign-in sheets
• Technical Memorandum summarizing input from stakeholders and residents received
during the community workshops and community surveys.
Task 4-Develop Operating Plan
In Task 4, Diversified Transportation Solutions will develop an operating plan for fixed -route
service in the Temple City community. The initial operating plan will be developed based on
the review of documentation provided by the City, findings of the Existing Conditions analysis,
input from community stakeholders and city staff, discussions with area transit operators, and
first-hand information gathered from field reviews.
Our approach to the development of service alternatives focuses on three interrelated
components: Transit Network Design, Resource Planning and Implementation Planning. A
description of each activity is briefly outlined below.
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 25
City of Temple City Request tor Proposals-Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
• Develop Network Strategic Plan
Based on the information gathered in the previous tasks, Diversified Transportation Solutions
will develop a draft plan for a fixed-route transit route network. The network design will
address key travel linkages and trip generators to be served, the structu re of the route network,
connections with other transit operators to enhance local and regional travel, and identification
of passenger amenities that would enhance transit usage . The network strategic design plan
will include:
• Identification of major trip attractors and activity centers in and around the Temple
City area. These centers include employment centers, shopping centers, senior
centers, hotels, government agencies, schools and community centers.
• Recommended route structure for fixed-route services designed to link major
destinations and trip generators. A minimum of two potential routes will be
developed in this process.
• Recommended locations for bus stops to provide maximum passenger access to
transit services and linkages with other regional transit providers. Potential negative
impacts to residents and the local community around bus stops such as noise or
parking disruption will be considered in the placement of bus stops.
• Identification of passenger amenities that could enhance transit usage. Amenities to
be considered include bus benches and shelters, trash receptacles, lighting, and
posting of bus schedules at bus stops. Potential bus stop locations will be assessed
regarding the space available for various amenities, and the possible impacts of
these amenities to the aesthetic character of the su rrounding neighborhoods.
Rod Goldman of Diversified Transportation Solutions has extensive knowledge of the existing
transit network in the Temple City area, and has worked closely with staff from area transit
agencies over for the past 20 years, including Metro, Foothill Transit and Montebello Bus Lines.
In the network planning process, we will meet with representatives of each agency to discuss
coordination of bus stops, impacts to existing ridership and revenues, and methods to develop
an integrated transit network in the Temple City community.
Evan Brooks Associates have strong ties with the surrounding local jurisdiction as well as with
the County, Metro, Foothill Transit, as well with bus manufacturers and bus contract operators.
In addition to providing community relation and outreach support, EBA can provide City staff
with government relations, advocacy and outreach to the transit related communities.
Transit mapping and display presentations will be developed by Kam Research utilizing ArcView
GIS mapping software. The maps to be included in the operating plan will indicate existing
transit services operated within the city, major activity centers, and the recommended fixed-
route network, including bus stops and transfer connections with other transit operators.
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 26
City of Temple City Request for Proposals-Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
• Develop Resource Plan
The Resource Plan identifies the resources required to operate service. The Resource Plan will
address the following elements:
• Outline of the operating parameters for new fixed-route transit service.
Operating parameters include recommended service frequencies and span of
service for various times of the day and days of the week. A baseline level of
service to be reviewed could include service frequencies no greater than 30
minutes and a span of service between 10-14 hours per day, depending on
input from stakehold ers and service levels of surrounding transit operators.
• Determination of transit service running times for the recommended route
network.
• Development of bus operating schedules for each proposed route.
• Estimation of potential ridership demand for each proposed route.
• Identification of service hours, service miles, vehicles, and operators required
to operate transit service.
• Estimation of boardings per vehicle hour, operating costs and projection of
passenger revenues for each proposal.
• Recommendations on the types of transit vehicles best suited for transit
service.
• Possible impacts of student demand on passenger capacity and service
efficiency.
• Requirements for operating facility infrastructure including vehicle storage,
fueling types and fueling locations.
• Cost comparisons for vehicle purchase or leasing.
• Develop Implementation Plan
Diversified Transportation Solutions will prepare an Implementation Plan which describes the
impacts of service implementation, outlines key issues that should be addressed prior to
implementation, establishes an implementation schedule, provides a timeline for
implementation of key operational elements, and identifies elements that need to be in place
for successful service operation.
The implementation schedule included in the Implementation Plan will ident ify key service
components such as the lead time required for vehicle procurement and bus stop placement,
identification of actions requiring City Council approval, procurement of a contractor to
administer and operate transit service, and timelines required for bus operator hiring and
training.
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 27
City of Temple City Request tor Proposals-Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
Task 4 Deliverables:
• Draft Alternatives Analysis Report summarizing the recommended fixed-route transit
operations plan.
• GIS maps highlighting activity centers, existing and proposed route network and bus
stops
Task 5 -Identification of Funding Sources
Evan Brooks Associates will identify and profile all local Proposition A and C funding, as well as
regional, state, and federal funding sources avai lable for fixed-route transit services. Evan
Brooks Associates will also identify potential grant sources by funding objectives and financial
resources available to transit projects. In addition to transportation funding sources, other
sources will be identified such as sustainability, environmental and air quality funding. Evan
Brooks Associates will develop of matrix table listing the available funding sources for fixed-
route se rvice operation with the requirements and considerations for each. This assessment
will provide a financial baseline from which to evaluate transit operations and highlight possible
gaps in funding.
Based on the assessment of potential funding sources for fixed -route service, Evan Brooks
Associates will develop a Financial Plan which will highlight the revenue streams available to
fund transit operations, and the major expenses required to finance daily operations and to
maintain and improve the capital infrastructure. The Financial Plan to be developed by Evan
Brooks Associates will outline the budgetary implications for transit operations, capital planning
and marketing efforts over a five-year period of initial operation.
The Financial Plan will provide information necessary for policymakers to determine the
financial feasibility of Temple City fixed-route transit service within the context of the Network
and Resource Plans.
Task 5 Deliverab/es:
• Technical Memorandum identifying potential funding sources and financial projections.
• Matrix outlining potential funding sources, acceptable uses for funds and likelihood of
funding availability.
Task 6-Marketing Opportunities
Evan Brooks Associates will review and identify potential marketing and outreach opportunities
that could assist in attracting and growing ridership for a new city-wide fixed-route transit
system. The marketing and outreach assessment will review programs and approaches used by
local and national transit providers and will include the following elements:
• Identification of methods to attract ridership including strategic partnerships with local
and regional businesses, reduced fare promotions, access to real-time transit schedules,
DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS 28
City of Temple City Request for Proposals -Fixed-Route Transit Study November 2012
and interagency transit services agreements for transit pass and fare programs such as
the TAP program and interagency transfers.
• Identification of potential private revenue sources that could re duce the City's
operational and capital expenses including on -bus advertising for local bu sinesses and
bus wraps and outside graphic advertising.
• Identification of cross-jurisdictional marketing efforts to work with adjacent cities to
develop efficient route usage and marketing efforts.
Task 6 Deliverables:
• Technical Memorandum identifying potential methods to enhance marketing and
strategic partnerships
Task 7-Develop Draft and Final Reports
Diversified Transportation Solutions will prepare a draft Transit Service Plan for review to the
Temple City project manager approximately 4 months after receiving the Notice to Proceed.
The draft Transit Service Plan will include a summary of task findings, the results of community
and stakeholder outreach activities, and recommended transit service alternatives. A total of
one (1} report document in hard copy and one (1) electronic copy in CD format will be
submitted to Temple City staff.
Diversified Transportation Solutions will make an oral presentation regarding the findings and
recommendations included in the draft Transit Service Plan to city staff.
Approximately two (2} weeks after review of the draft Transit Service Plan, Diversified
