Call to Order. The meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee was called to Gordon Hass at 12:56 p.m. at the Riverside City Hall, Fourth Room, 3900 Main Street, Riverside. The Chair noted a quorum Members present: Marian Carpelan Donna Crowe Fred A. Fickas Gordon Hass Jordan T. Huntley Richard Jandt Others present: Ken Kaufher, RTA 2. Approval of Minutes. Herbert Krauch Ben Minnich Lloyd O'Connell Rena Parker Suzanne Phillips Earl Shade Stephen 011er, RTA order by Chairman Floor Conference present. With no corrections or additions to the minutes of the November 30, 1983 meet- ing, Chairman Hass declared the minutes approved as submitted. 3. Federal Gas Tax Legislation. Barry Beck, Executive Director, reported that the 5 federal gas tax increase which was just passed by Congress provides 90-100% of the current level of transit operating assistance funds. A considerable part of the transit funds will be made available on a block grant basis to urbanized areas. He said that RTA and SunLine are in good shape as they have previously received ap- proval for construction of their administrative and maintenance facilities, and they have both modernized their fleets. In fact, it may be difficult to utilize all the capital funds that are going to be available and unfortunate that these funds could not be used for operating assistance. He noted that we are fortunate to receive any operating assistance funds as the Administration was adamant in proposing to eliminate federal operating assistance funds. The new highway funds will be used for projects that were previously programmed to receive funds in past years but were unfunded and will increase funds for major interstate project such as the Century Freeway in Los Angeles and Interstates 215 and 15 in Riverside County. Bill Minnich asked as to the amount of funding available for maintenance, new projects, etc. Citizens Advisory Committee January 25, 1983 Page 2 Barry Beck said that most of the increase in federal funds will be used for new projects and that maintenance funds are usually used for new cons- truction, reconstruction and rehabilitation projects. He noted that the funds have a limited use and will be expended towards the state highway system, federal primary system and interstate system. It is a misconception that the increase in gas tax will be used to maintain local streets and roads. In response to Donna Crowe's question as to the type of project programmed for Route 74, Barry Beck stated that the first project is to correct a con- gestion problem in the City of Perris. Rena Parker pointed out that there is a congestion problem on Route 71 and asked if the State Transportation Improvement Program will include the com- pletion of the Route 71 freeway to Route 91. Barry Beck responded that San Bernardino is seeking funds to improve Route 71 within San Bernardino County to prevent a congestion problem expected when planned developments in Chino are constructed.

Quarterly Report on Transit Operations. Paul Blackwelder, Assistant Director -Planning, told the Committee that the quarterly report on transit operations was presented to the Commission at their January meeting. They were particularly concerned about the decrease in RTA student ridership. Staff commented to the Commission thatthedecrease in overall transit use may be due to high unemployment rates and current economic conditions as well as fare increases that were recently implemented by RTA. He noted that Commissioner Sue Cornelison was concerned about the fact that student ridership has decreased and that no apparent efforts are being made to attract students to use public transit so that in the future, when they are working adults, they may continue to use public transit. Rena Parker stated that perhaps encouraging children and students to use public transit could be addressed and included in the Commission's goals and objectives. She iterated the importance of educating the younger generation that public transportation is a viable alternative to automobile. Ken Kaufher replied that part of the apparent decrease in student rider- ship may be a transfer to the full fare category. He explained that RTA showed a slight increase in full fare passengers so some passengers previously classified as students are still riding the bus but are counted as full fare passengers. Citizens Advisory Committee January 25, 1983 Page 3 Barry Beck requested RTA staff to address the issue that there is no in- centive for students to purchase passes as most of the school months have less than 20 days. The Commission is concerned not as a matter of revenue but as a matter of encouraging children to have the pass so that they would use it at other times during the month and thus learn to use public transit for a variety of purposes which would hopefully carry on to their adult life. Ken Kaufher replied that if RTA is losing student riders because of the pass, there may be a misunderstanding of the fare policy. The pass can be used anytime during the month whether it is during school hours, after school hours or weekends. Students who use their passes after school hours and on weekends are required to pay an additional 10t. He said that one change under consideration is to make the 10¢ differential part of the cost for a monthly pass. Instead of offering a 10% or 20% discount, they would allow unlimited ridership any time of the day or week if a monthly pass was used. At present, the regular pass cost is based on 40 rides with a full fare of 50¢, they are sold for $20. The presumption is that there are 22 work days in the month and if it is used round trip, it would be used 44 times giving the individual 10% discount. Marian Carpelan suggested that perhaps RTA should have a student pass with a cost based on 15 days of use per month. In response to Dick Jandt's request for a definition of "student", Ken Kaufher explained that the "student" classification includes children from the elementary grades through high school. RTA's fare policy prior to the last fare increase included all students through the college level. With respect to educating children to utilize public transit, RTA staff have con- tacted Hemet, San Jacinto and Corona school districts to make arrangements to show students a new RTA bus and have one of the road supervisors conduct an informational program. A representative from one of RTA's dial -a -ride contractors would also be present to answer questions about services. The program has not been finalized. Rena Parker requested that RTA return to the Committee later on this year with a status report on the education program. Dick Jandt commented that there are parents that will not allow their young- sters to ride the bus. Perhaps research should be done to determine the number of parents unwilling to let their children use public transportation and suggested that the parents should also be included in the program. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of public transit replacing school buses and suggestions for transit operators to educate children to utilize public transit. Citizens Advisory Committee January 25, 1983 Page 4 Barry Beck noted that the Commission has requested staff to prepare a ques- tionnaire to send out to various transit operators in the County concerning fare policy. He asked if there are any suggestions from the Committee. The Committee made no specific recommendations. 5. Commission Goals and Objectives. M/S/C (PARKER/MINNICH) to include in the Commission's objectives that the Commission work with transit operators in Riverside County to develop a fare structure and public education program for schools that will encourage greater student ridership. Barry Beck informed the Committee that transit is not going to be immuned from budget cuts in Sacramento to address the State budget deficit situation for the current and next fiscal years. He said that funding for State transit assistance program will probably be reduced and noted that Local Transportation Fund revenues are lower than expected due to decrease in sales. Herb Krauch inquired whether the 10 -year highway plan will include projects in the Beaumont area such as the bypass project in the Beaumont Pass, over- pass over the Southern Pacific tracks, and four -lane project in Lambs Canyon. Barry Beck stated that the State Commission has not yet gone through the process of identifying the projects but that small project such as the bypass and overpass projects will probably not be recommended. He added that the Commission has traded off the Lambs Canyon project for the project on Route 60. 6. Desert Area Transit Productivity Advisory Committee Recommendations. Barry Beck informed the Committee that the recommendations by the Desert Area Transit Productivity Advisory Committee were reviewed by the Commission at its January meeting and directed staff to forward them to SunLine for review, comment and implementation. Dick Jandt commented that he was not comfortable with Recommendation Nos. 5, 12 and 13 due to the fact that SunLine. has enough problems maintaining its farebox ratio. Barry Beck stated that the Committee had the same concerns and that is why the word "consider" was included in the recommendations. d Citizens Advisory Committee January 25, 1983 Page 5 7. Rubidoux-Mira Loma Transit Alternative Study. Paul Blackwelder reviewed the results of the study to increase productivity and reduce expenses for Rubidoux-Mira Loma as follows: Rubidoux Dail -A -Ride The analysis of ridership, vehicles hours, peak hours, wait times and travel times for a one -week period in September, 1982 indicated that ridership ranged between 78 and 93 passengers on weekdays and 42 on Saturdays. The wait time was generally 30 minutes or less and travel time was generally less than 20 minutes. Vehicle hours on weekdays averaged 23. In reviewing past operations, it was determined that the same number of passengers could be handled with less vehicle hours - 16 to 18 vehicle hours/day. The re- duction of vehicle hours will increase productivity and reduce the cost per passenger. This was related to RTA and the number of vehicle hours were reduced in September. In reviewing the feasibility of a fixed route service, a review of the origins and destinations of dial -a -ride users for a two-day period were plotted on a map. The SCRTD Line 496 and RTA Route 21 alignments with one quarter mile service bands were then plotted on the map. In attempting to locate a route that could utilize one vehicle operating on a one hour headway and service as many dial -a -ride users as possible and connect residential areas, shop- ping centers and schools, they developed a route from Van Buren Boulevard along Limonite into the Rubidoux area. The route would connect with SCRTD Line 496 and RTA Line 21, tie together the commercial areas along Van Buren, Limonite and Mission Boulevard and serve five of the six schools. The advantages of selecting the fixed route alternative are the cost would be lower than the dial -a -ride by approximately $39,000, 90% of the dial -a -ride users would be served within the one quarter mile by a fixed route, and productivity would be easier to control. The net cost/passenger for the fixed route alternative is $3.54/passenger compared to the dial -a -ride cost of $5.89/passenger. Disadvantages of the fixed route alternative are approximately 10% of the existing dial -a -ride users would not be within the one quarter mile of the fixed route, and some elderly and handicapped users might find the one quarter mile too far to travel to a fixed route. This is mitigated to a great extent because Meditrans service is available mornings and afternoons to workshops and three days a week for trips to Riverside for medical appointments. Line 21 Ridership on Line 21 decreased from an average of 130 passengers/day to 67 passengers/day when RTA discontinued the line from Country Village to Down- town Riverside and ran only the Country Village to Tyler Mall segment. During the months of October and November, marketing efforts were made by Citizens Advisory Committee January 25, 1983 Page 6 RTA's contractor in the Country Village and Glen Avon areas. In December, ridership has increased to an average of 84 passengers on weekdays and 94 passengers on Saturdays. Staff recommended that RTA continue operating Line 21 for the remainder of the year and continue to monitor ridership, and that RTA present the information developed for the fixed route alter- native for Rubidoux to the community and report the results of the Rubidoux meeting to the RTA Board. M/S/C (PARKER/O'CONNELL) to recommend that RTA continue to oper- ate Line 21 at least for the remainder of FY 1982-83 and continue to monitor ridership, and that RTA strongly consider the imple- mentation of the fixed route alternative as part of the Short Range Transit Plan update and present this alternative for •service to residents of the Rubidoux-Mira Loma area. 9. Citizen Participation Program and Goals and Objectives for the Riverside - San Bernardino Multimodal Transportation Study. Harry Schuler, Assistant Director -Programming, informed the Committee that the purpose of the study is to assess transportation needs (highway and transit) in the western part of Riverside County. The study will provide the cities and counties with information to amend and update their general plans. The purpose of this report was to outline the citizen participation program recommended for transportation study and to present the goals and objectives for the study. He explained that the goals and objectives are based on four broad topical areas which influence the transportation planning and programming decisions as follows: transportation system per- formance, environmental impacts, implementation feasibility, and compati- bility with other plans. Lloyd O'Connell asked whether there is a need for a system interconnecting Riverside and San Bernardino. Barry Beck explained that the prime purpose of the study is not to interface systems of the two counties but to develop a transportation plan for Riverside County. With San Bernardino also wanting to develop a transportation plan, it was felt that it would be more efficient for the two counties to develop a plan together. The study recognizes that there is a need to interconnect the highway and transit systems in Riverside County with systems in San Bernardino County. He reiterated that this study is primarily for highways and streets and that transit is secondary. In response to Chairman Hass' question as to how citizen participation will be generated, Harry Schuler explained that they will be using organized citizen groups such as RCTC's Citizens Advisory Committee. Transit related information will be presented to Riverside City's Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee, and ads will be placed in the newspaper to present information to the general public. The San Bernardino Project Manager will also do the same things in the San Bernardino area. Citizens Advisory Committee January 25, 1983 Page 7 Dick Jandt commented that perhaps this type of study should be undertaken by SCAG as he assumed that the role of the regional planning agency is to assure compatibility between counties. He then asked whether it is SCAG's responsi- bility to coordinate traisportation. Barry Beck explained that one of the small purposes of SCAG is to make sure that transportation systems interface takes place. For the most part, RCTC cooperates with adjoining counties t❑ interface highway and transit systems. This study is to develop a transportation plan for Western Riverside County that incorporates all the latest projected population and employment for the County. The predicted population figures indicate a need to substantially increase the capacity of state highways network and local arterial system in order to handle future growth as well as, to a certain degree, increase the transit carrying ability. Rena Parker agreed and said that there is a need to interface with our ad- joining counties. 9. Additional Item. Chairman Hass informed the Committee that a Bechtel film is available and could be borrowed if there is a desire by members to view the film. It was determined that staff should find out if the film would be available for the next meeting. 10. Adjournment. With no other items to be discussed, Chairman Hass adjourned the meeting at 2:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted; Paul Blackwelder Assistant Director -Planning nk R IVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE Minutes of Meeting No. 2-83 February 22, 1983 1. Call to Order. The meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee was called to order by Barry Beck, Executive Director, at 1:40 p.m. Tuesday, February 22, 1983, at the Riverside City Hall, 4th Floor Conference Room, 3900 Main Street, Riverside. Members present: Marian Carpelan Fred Fickas Jo Huntley Herb Krauch Rand Martin* Others present: Ken Kaufher, RTA 2. Approval of Minutes. Suzanne Phillips* John Porter* Lloyd O'Connell Earl R. Shade Doug Marini, RTA Due of lack of quorum when the meeting convened, no action was taken on this item. 3. Short Range Transit Plan for FY 1984-1988. Barry Beck said that the purpose in placing this item on the agenda is to discuss the short range transit plans that are being drafted for the next fiscal year. Staff plans to take the SRTPs to the Commission at its May meeting. Input is requested from members of the Citizens Advisory Committee at this time in order that it may be considered and included in the plan. He stated that with the exception of RTA, status quo service is being proposed by the transit operators. Banning is proposing a minor expansion under their existing plan - a new route south of I-10. Ken Kaufher gave a brief summary of service changes being proposed for inclusion in RTA's short range transit plan update: 30 -minute peak hour service for commuters in Riverside. The proposed service will be coordinated with commute trips in Riverside's fixed route system and will be implemented on Lines 1-16. Currently, Line 1 has a 15 -minute peak hour service and Line 16 has peak hour service in one direction. The increases in service miles and number of trips will be on Lines 12, 13 and 15. The estimated annual additional cost for peak hour service is $68,000. *Arrived after meeting was convened. CAC Minutes February 22, 1983 Page 2 Barry Beck pointed out that there had been a misunderstanding between RCTC and RTA staff which allowed commuter service on Lines 1-16 to be deleted from the FY 1983-1988 plan. Imple- mentation of 30 -minute peak hour service had been scheduled two years ago and RCTC staff expected implementation in September, 1982. After reviewing the schedules, it was discovered that higher frequency peak hour service was oriented toward school trips rather than work trips. The proposed increase in service by RTA for FY '84 is to serve work commuters in the Downtown area and other employment sites. Marian Carpelan noted that the 30 -minute peak service in Riverside is something that the Committee and CTAC have supported for imple- mentation since RTA began operating service. Ken Kaufher explained that RTA went through its first phase of peak hour service changes in October, 1981. This first group of changes a year and a half ago included the implementation of a half-hour peak service tied to the Downtown work commute trips on Lines 13 and 14. Other recommended changes by the JHK Study have not yet been implemented. Some trips on Lines 13 and 14 were dis- continued last summer because of law ridership. RTA will readdress peak hour service changes in the updated plan. Sunday service between Sunnymead and Riverside on Line 16. Ken Kaufher stated that a petition was submitted by residents of Canyon Crest Heights and Sunnymead to provide Sunday service on Line 16. He added that there is potential forSunday ridership on this line. Barry Beck requested RTA provide incremental costs to provide the service as it is on incremental cost that decision on whether to provide the service should be based. Doug Marini said that the incremental cost to implement the Line 16 Sunday service is approximately $12,700 and the fully allocated cost is $32,000. Barry Beck suggested that RTA staff review each fixed -route line and that an RTA Board policy on Sunday service be developed. Fixed -route service to replace the Rubidoux dial -a -ride. Ken Kaufher said that RTA staff worked with Commission staff to eval- uate the feasibility of converting the Rubidoux dial -a -ride into a 1 CAC Minutes February 22, 1983 Page 3 fixed route system. The proposed route alignment should serve approxi- mately 90% of the current dial -a -ride trips because they are within a quarter mile on either side of the proposed fixed route. In cases where a rider's mobility is limited, Meditrans service is available in the area to provide transit service for elderly and handicapped. In addition, the proposed route will connect with RTD service on Mission Boulevard and Route 21 to Tyler Mall. In comparing the cost of the dial -a -ride service with the fixed route service, the fixed route cost is estimated at $107,000 while the dial -a -ride cost is $146,000. Replacement of dial -a -ride services in Perris and Sun City with subsi- dized taxi service. Discussions have begun with current contractors in Perris and Sun City as well as with the Red Cab Company in Riverside to explore the possi- bility of operating a subsidized taxi service to reduce the operating cost of these systems. Discussions included how to structure the oper- ation and the potential for successful cab service in the area. Another alternative being considered is the possibility of a social service agency providing service in Sun City rather than a private contractor. Lloyd O'Connell raised a point that this is the first time that he has heard that a taxi service alternative is being considered for Sun City. He felt that there are other ways to reduce the costs of Sun City service and suggested that RTA staff arrange a meeting in order that this matter be reviewed and discussed. He feels that a taxi service will be unable to accommodate ridership especially on the days when the social security checks are received. Barry Beck pointed out that what RTA means by cab service is a diffe- rent management contract rather than a change in service. He is con- fident that RTA will work with Lloyd O'Connell to discuss the proposal. He reiterated that the basic thrust of RTA's proposal is to develop a different management apparatus that can lower cost and provide better incentive for the contractor to provide the service, He noted that RTA will be reviewing all the dial -a -ride services but at this time, they are focusing on the Sun City/Perris systems, Feasibility study of a fixed -route service alternative to replace the Moreno Valley dial -a -ride system and the Norco dial -a -ride. Ken Kaufher stated that this is a continuation of alternatives being studied as was done in Rubidoux. He said that if RTA can operate a fixed -route service in the area rather than dial -a -ride, it will be less expensive and provide quality service. RTA is currently review- ing the possibility of operating fixed -route service in areas where dial -a -ride service is currently operated. CAC Minutes February 22, 1983 Page 4 Increased commuter buspool service to Orange County. Three commuter services to Orange County are currently subsidized (two by OCTD and one by Hunt Transportation). RTA will be looking at ex- pansion potential for additional bus pools to Orange County. Continued monitoring of fixed -route service on Lines 17 (UCR-Riverside Plaza), Line 21 (Country Village -Tyler Mall) and Line 30 (-Hemet-San Jacinto) through September, 1983. The new or revised routes that were implemented in September, 1982 are being monitored on a monthly basis to evaluate ridership, cost and productivity. RTA staff will provide recommendations to its Board on whether or not to continue these lines in September. In response to Rand Martin's question whether efforts are being made with the DRC on its client mobility training program as there is a push by the Regional Center to do this, Ken Kaufher replied that RTA is in the process of identifying areas that will generate ridership and the actual riding time versus schedule of riding time to use the route. With this information, staff will look at some changes in the route in order to generate ridership. One of the revisions to the route that is currently being reviewed is a route that will serve DRC. He added that there is some potential for two hours during the day for group rides. Rand Martin informed the Committee that the Association of Retired Persons is in the process of planning a center in the Corona area. Barry Beck commented that the center should be coordinated with transit. Barry Beck said that a question was raised by a Commission member on whethe RTA should be giving discounts to students on dial -a -ride given the high subsidy cost of dial -a -ride. He suggested that RTA include this matter when RTA review its fare policy in general. 5 Adjournment. The meeting was adjourned at 2:29 p,m, The next meeting is scheduled on March 29, 1983 at 1:30 p.m., Riverside City Hall, 4th Floor Conference Room, 3900 Main Street, Riverside. Respectfully submitted, Paul Blackwelder Assistant Director -Planning /1 nk ITEM NO. 4 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION TO: Citizens Advisory Committee FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Assistant Director SUBJECT: Draft FY 1984-1988 Riverside County Short Range Transit Plan Draft FY 1984-1988 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP's) have been developed for or submitted by the eight public transit operators in Riverside County. The compo- site of the eight individual plans is the Riverside County Short Range Transit Plan for FY 1984-1988. The Commission is scheduled to adopt the SRTP at its meeting on May 19, 1983. Public hearings on unmet transit needs have been held in the desert and western county areas and the Commission made its findings on unmet needs at its meeting on April 14th. Enclosed are copies of the narrative portions of the draft plans describing ser- vices and service levels proposed by each operator. Also enclosed is a summary describing the proposed services, service changes, and areas of non-conformance with the Commission's unmet transit needs findings. The third attachment con- tains operations data to show projected differences in ridership, expenses, and vehicle hours between FY's 1983 and 1984. The draft FY 1984-1988 SRTP for Riverside County is basically a status quo plan except for minor revisions in services operated by RTA and Banning. Total rider- ship is expected to increase by a modest 6.5% in FY 1984. The expectations for increasing ridership are based on the assumptions that dial -a -ride ridership which has been decreasing will level off, RTA peak hour .service improvements will attract additional riders, and economic conditions will improve employment rates. Operating expenses are estimated to increase by 4.8% over FY 1983 levels. The contributing factors to the lower rate than experienced in past years are: mid- year service reductions in the SunLine area in FY 1983; improved contract monitor- ing in Corona; reduced costs for operating subsidized taxi service in Norco and fixed route service in Rubidoux; consolidation of RTA contracted dial -a -ride services; and, stable fuel prices. The Commission received testimony regarding unmet transit needs in Riverside County at the public hearings in the desert area and in Riverside and through written comments. Attached is a copy of the comments received and staff responses. The Commission reviewed the testimony and written comments at its meeting on April 14th and made a finding that the transit needs of Riverside County are being reasonably met with five exceptions: 1. RTA should include a fixed route line between Corona and Norco in its SRTP to be implemented by FY 1985-86. 2. RTA should include Sunday service on Line 16 in its SRTP to be im- plemented in FY 1983-84 and a study of transit service in the Moreno Valley area should also be included in the plan. Agenda Item No. 4 April 26, 1983 Draft FY 1984-88 SRIP Page 2 3. RTA should include the provision of limited service to Cabazon in its SRTP. 4. SunLine should include limited service to North Palm Springs in its SRTP to be implemented in FY 1983-84. 5. the City of Riverside should submit written commitment to pro- vide service by July 1, 1983 to handicapped individuals now on a waiting list. fhe Draft SRTP's submitted by RTA and SunLine were prepared prior to the Commission's April 14th meeting. The SunLine plan does not include limited service to meet the needs of the North Palm Springs area. The RTA plan does not include limited service to meet the needs of the Cabazon area and proposes deletion of the planned fixed route service between Corona and Norco rather than moving implementation from FY 1983 to a later year. The SunLine and RTA plans must be revised to include these services to be in conformance with the Commission's findings regarding unmet transit needs which can be reasonably met. RECOMMENDATION That the Committee recommend Commission adoption of the Draft FY 1984-1988 Riverside County Short Range Transit Plan subject to the following conditions: 1. Implementation of limited tel-a-ride service to North Palm Springs in FY 1984 is added to the SunLine Transit Agency SRTP. 2. Implementation of limited service for Cabazon in FY 1984 is added to the RTA SRTP. 3 Implementation of a Corona -Norco fixed route in FY 1986 is added to the RTA SRTP.

The SunLine Draft SRTP must be changed to include limited tel-a-ride service to North Palm Springs in order to be in conformance with the Commission's unmet transit needs findings. RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY (RTA) Fixed -Route Services o RTA will continue to operate all existing local and intercity fixed routes at least through August, 1983. The proposed changes for the fixed -route system are as follows: 1, Increased weekday peak hour service for commuters to/Downtown employ- ment centers on Lines 12, 13, 14, and 15. One additional trip will be run on each line inbound to Downtown in the morning and outbound from Downtown in the afternoon. Inbound buses will be added between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and outbound buses will be added between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The result will be 30 -minute service for a one hour period and 60 -minute service for the remainder of the day, Line 1 will continue to provide 15 -minute peak hour service from Sunnymead to Downtown similar to that proposed for Lines 12-15 above. Initial review of schedules on Lines 12, 13, 14, and 15 show that there will be timing problems with arrival and departure times on some lines if the primary work start and end times for Downtown area employees is 8:00 a.m. and 5:oo p,m. as is generally expected. Unless the total line schedule is revised, the peak hour service will arrive too late in the morning and depart too early in the afternoon to be convenient for com- muters, RTA must also address single direction peak hour commuter service. The attractiveness of 30 -minute peak service to March Air Force Base also has the potential for attracting additional ridership from persons assigned to or employed at the Base, RTA staff will attend the meeting to discuss the proposed peak hour improvement concept and respond to questions from the Committee. 2. Add Sunday .service to Line 16 from Sunnymead-Edgemont to Riverside. 3. Implement fixed -route service to replace dial -a -ride service in Rubidoux (see dial -a -ride comments). 4. Monitor productivity on Lines 17 (UCR-Magnolia Center), 21 (Country Village -Tyler Mall), and 30 (Hemet -San Jacinto) and recommend conti- nuation or deletion in September, 1983, /(0 -3- RTA (Contd.) o Unmet Transit Needs Not Addressed in the Draft Plan: The Commission identified two unmet transit needs which are not ad- dressed in the RTA Draft SRTP. First, limited service was requested in Cabazon for transportation to the senior center and for trans- portation to shopping, medical facilities and social services in Banning and Beaumont. Second, fixed -route service between Norco and Corona previously programmed for FY 1983 was deleted as a result of low ridership estimates by RTA. The RTA Draft SRTP must be chan_ged as follows to be in conformance with the Commission's unmet transit needs findings: 1. Add implementation of limited service for Cabazon to provide three round trips for basic medical and shopping needs to Banning and transportation to the senior center nutrition program at an esti- mated cost of $13,000 ($3,000 rehabilitate van and 510,000 for operations). 2. Include implementation of a fixed -route between Corona and Norco in FY 1985-86. Demand Response Services o RTA will continue to operate dial -a -ride (DAR) services at the existing level in Moreno Valley, Perris, Sun City, Hemet -San Jacinto, and Norco. The Norco systemwill use subsidized taxi service rather than RTA vans and a contractor operator but will function the same as a dial -a -ride. o Rubidoux dial -a -ride is proposed to be replaced by a fixed -route system. The proposed change is based on a ridership analysis which showed that 90% of all service requests were within ; mile of a proposed fixed -route and that fixed - route service could be operated at a considerably lower cost than dial -a -ride service. Prior to finalizing a decision on conversion of the dial -a -ride to a fixed - route system, RTA must develop a profile of existing riders and determine the extent to which a a mile walk to the fixed -route will present problems for the elderly and/or handicapped, and must hold a public hearing and a meeting with Rubidoux area residents and dial -a -ride users. The conversion to a fixed route is supported by Commission staff unless major problems which cannot be overcome are identified in the ridership profile or public meetings. o Feasibility Studies RTA with assistance from Commission staff will restudy the feasibility of converting the existing dial -a -rides to fixed -routes or subsidized taxi systems in Moreno Valley, Perris, Hemet -San Jacinto, and Sun City during FY 1984. These studies will be similar to the Rubidoux study and will have to be followed up by community meetings and public hearings before changes are programmed and the SRTP is amended. /7 -4- RTA (Contd.) Other Services o SCRTD Line 496 to Los Angeles and Line 149 to Orange County and Long Beach are to be continued at the existing level of service. RTA and Commission staff have again requested that lift -equipped buses be used on these lines as soon as possible. o Commuter Buspool Service The four contracted commuter buspools to Orange County will continue to be operated. RTA and Commuter Computer will attempt to expand the buspool program beginning in FY 1984. The Orange County Transit District buspools will be contracted to a private carrier in July, 1983. o Meditrans service will continue to be contracted for specialized service for the elderly and handicapped and for transportation in the Temecula, Murrieta, and Quail Valley areas. Meditrans transports approximately 5,200 passengers per month. Services operated by Meditrans for RTA are: Workshops and Adulr Education Transportation is provided Monday -Friday between 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m, and between 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. for clients from the unincorporated areas to centers in Riverside, Perris, and Hemet. Clients are trained to use RTA Bial- a -ride services in Perris and Hemet and Riverside Special Services in the City of Riverside. Approximately 4,400 passengers/month use this service, The areas served are: West Riverside, Moreno Valley, Woodcrest, Mead Valley, Good Hope, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Homeland, Romoland, Nuevo, Lakeview, Lake Elsinore and Perris. Medical Transportation Transportation is provided Monday -Thursday for the elderly, handicapped, and indigent from outlying areas to medical facilities in Riverside and Loma Linda, Approximately 400 passengers per month are transported from the following areas: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Tuesday & Thursday Monday & Thursday Wednesday - from West Riverside to Riverside - from Sunnymead to Riverside - from Lake Elsinore, Sun City & Perris to Riversic - from Lake Elsinore, Sun City and Perris to Loma Linda. Temecula-Murrieta-Quail Valley Transportation from the Temecula-Murrieta area to Riverside, Fallbrook and Sun City for shopping and medical appointments was implemented in September, 1982. Approximately 400 passengers/month have used this service, Service will be re- vised April 25, 1983, Service will be offered to residents of Quail Valley in addition to the residents of P•lurrieta and Temecula, Service to Sun City will be deleted due to low ridership (6 passengers/day).. Transportation will be provided to Riverside three days/week and to Fallbrook 2 days/week. -5- RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSIT SERVICE FY 1983 COMPARISON TO FY 1984 RTA SUNLINE BANNING BEAUMONT CORONA LETS R.S.S .

COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE PALM DESERT UNMET NEEDS PUBLIC HEARING March 10, 1983 NAME COMMENTS STAFF RESPONSE Sylvia Jiler 3alm Springs Clai med that service has been reduced and that ridership has fallen. Said that service should have been increased commensurate with increased population. There is a need for bus service on north - south streets in Palm Springs. Urged that hours when senior citizens are eligible for discount fares (9 a. m. to 2 p.m.) be extended since late buses often cause seniors to have to pay full fare. Asked that the zone fare policy be revised so that travel across the first zone boundary would be free. Asked that funds be provided to SunLine for public relations training for drivers. While the number of individual routes have been reduced, this has been done mainly throuq consolidation. The nu mber of buses on the street has not been reduced. There has been a reduction in ridership because of reduction of transfers as a result of route consolidatio The number of fare paying passengers (excludin transfers) has actually increased over last year. There had been service on Sunrise, a north - south street, but this service was revised based on an analysis of ridership patterns. The Commission has already asked the SunLine Board to revie w its policy regarding the hours when senior citizens are offered a discount. However, staff believes that the SunLine fare policy on senior citizens and zone fares are certainly within the norm of the industry and should not be considered to be creating an "un met transit need". Staff does not believe that the un met needs process should be used as a means of challenging fare policies unless it is determined that the fare policies are unusually high or restrictive and not con- sistent with industry practice . Other than the com ments received by Mrs. diler both at the public hearing and when she was a member of the Co mmission's Productivity Advisory Committee, we have no evidence of rude drivers. While we have suggested that SunLine consider a public relations training program for drivers, staff believes that only the SunLine Board is in a position to deter- NAME COMMENTS STAFF RESPONSE Sylvia Jiler (Contd.) Esther R. Dill Palo Verde Valley Senior Citizens Blythe Edw ard Luna Mecca Civic Council Mecca Richard L. Jandt Indio Requested that transportation service be- t ween the Palo Verde Valley and Blythe be established so that seniors from Blythe could get to medical specialists in the Coachella Valley. Asked that transit service to Mecca be restored to its former level. Said that services in the Indio area were discontinued because of low ridership. He said that the "backbone" line (Lines 19 & 20) are well patronized. mine if extraordinary measures are necessary. Staff does not believe that a training program should be considered an "unmet transit need" based on the infor mation available. Staff does not believe that this transit need can be reasonably met because of the expense of providing such a specialized service and the anticipated low de mand . SunLine recently revised its services so that only an early morning and evening trip is pro- vided into the Mecca and Ther mal area. These would serve home to work trips. Current rider ship is only 1 or 2 per day . Previously, with hourly service, ridership in the Thermal/Mecca area averaged 25 boardings per day, thus, the area was generating about 50 trips per day counting the boardings for return trips . To restore hourly service an additional bus would have to be added to Line 19. The additional cost would be about $100,000/year. (No comments.) SUMMARY OF COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE RIVERSIDE CITY PUBLIC HEARING ON UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS MARCH 24, 1983 NAME COMMENT STAFF RESPONSE David E. Kessinger Riverside R. M. Cautillon Riverside (Home in Norco) Lloyd McVay Riverside Wanted bus stop restored at or near Osburn Place and Jurupa Avenue. Complained about evening un met transit needs hearing in Avalon (rather than day meeting). Asked that a fixed route line be established running betw een Norco and Corona generally operating on Main and Hamner. Suggested that there be more " crosstown" routes . Also asked for better transit service to major parks. Bus stop at Osburn and Jurupa was moved because of safety problem. We have asked RTA to investigate the possibility of locating the stop closer to its original location. Avalon (Catalina Island) is in Los Angele. County and the Los Angeles County Trans- portation Commission was responsible for establishing the time of the hearing. Such a line is in the current Short Range Transit Plan to be i mple mented this year. However, RTA staff is recommending dele- ting the service from the plan stating that they do not believe there would be sufficient ridership to justify the ser- vice. We believe that RTA staff is pro- bably correct, but we think that the service should remain in the plan moved back to a later year perhaps when further gro wth (and higher gasoline prices) can justify the service. Most routes in Riverside run on Magnolia Avenue and streets generally paralleling Magnolia; this is the more predo minant direction of all travel. There is some crossto wn service, however, e .g. Tyler, La Sierra, Van Buren, Arlington . Staff believes that current RTA service provide excellent service to major parks . There are a number of parks such as La Sierra, Shamel, Bordwell, Fairmount, Reid and Whi Parks that have service on adjacent stree Other parks are within the standard 'q mil walkinu distance_ NAME COMMENT STAFF RESPONSE Lloyd McVay (Contd.) Ronie Banning Sunnymead Gertrude Duffy Perri s Pat Do i ra n Sunnym ead Ed Crespin Riverside Said that a ne w senior center is being built in Riverside (at Streeter & Sierra) ane that it will need to be served by public transit. Requested a van for the Moreno Valley Senior Center so that meals could be delivered to seniors and to bring seniors to the nutrition program. She stated that the 50t RTA dial -a -ride fare was too much for so me seniors. Requested a van for the Moreno Valley Senior Center sothat meals could be distributed to shut-ins. Requested a van for the Moreno Valley nutri- tion site to deliver meals and bring seniors to the program. Requested greater frequency of service to the Social Security Office on Chicago Avenue (Line 25). Requested consistent policy on location of bus stops. The ne w senior center being built on Streeter Avenue will be served by RTA Line 12. We have also asked RTA to consider revising Line 13 to serve the center. Staff referred the request for the van to the Office on Aging. We can't use TDA funds for delivery of meals. They said all those reques ing meal delivery were being taken care of by volunteers. If there was a problem having adequate volunteers, they would acquire a van for the site. We also asked the Office on Aging to consider buying RTA tickets and distributing them to those seniors who could not afford the 50ct fare . Staff believes that this is the best way that this proble m can be handled. See previous co mments. See previous comments . Current frequency on Line 25 is about 1 hour 40 minutes . In order to increase the fre- quency, another bus would have to be added with an operating cost of about $100,000/year plus capital cost . Current ridership on Line 25 of 175/day does not justify upgrading the service . Although it is desirable to consistently local bus stops, e.g., at far side of intersection, this is not always possible because of other considerations, e.g., parking removal, space requirements, etc . NAME COMMENT Eugene M. Brazile Sunnymead Scott A. Brennan Riverside Joyce Jam es Inland Counties Regional Center Ed Luna Mecca Civic Center Requested Sunday service on Line 16 between Downtown Riverside and Sunny mead. STAFF RESPONSE Requested an after 10 P.M. trip from Riverside on Line 16 for students attending R.C.C. night classes. Requested fixed route service to apartment complexes on Heacock Street. Need better service to Pedley, Mira Loma, Rubidoux, Indian Hills area. Need more clearly m arked bus stop signs. Complained about buses being off schedule. Said that there w as a waiting list of 14 clients wishing to use the City of Riverside Special Services system to get to the Regional Center workshop program. Reiterated the comments he made at the Palm Desert hearing requesting restoration of service to Mecca. RTA staff is proposing initiation of Sunday service on Line 16 - we think this should be tried since Line 16 does enjoy good ridership on Monday through Saturday and March Air Forcc Base has unique needs. Staff does not believe late night service to serve R.C .C. would be successful. Line 1 which currently provides late night service to R.C .C. has negligible ridership on the after 10 P.M. run. Line 16 would not be ex- pected to be any better. Regarding local service in the Sunny mead area staff in cooperation with RTA staff, intends i do a co mprehensive study of the Moreno Valle area to identify alternative methods of pro- viding transit service . RTA staff is proposing to replace the existini dial -a -ride service in Rubidoux with a fixed route line that would also serve Indian Hills, Jurupa Hills area. This would also provide a so me what faster and more reliable service . Co mments on bus stop signs and schedule adhe- rance have been referred to RTA. Riverside will add additional peak hour equip ment to serve those now on the waiting list. See previous continents . WRITTEN COMMENTS RECEIVED ON UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS NAME COMMENTS STAFF RESPONSE Jnsigned Letter from _a Sierra (Riverside) 3etition & Letter from Nuevo/Perris area John D. Porter Palm Springs Suggested 24 -hour intercity transit service between major population centers such as Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties . Suggested "high speed commuter cars" on special " comm uter lanes". Requesting fixed route service on Perris Boulevard to Nuevo Road from Perris. Claim s that when the Foundation for the Retarded m oves to its new location, it will be w ithout public transit. There is currently a modest amount of public intercity transit service available. Current ridership does not indicate that expansion would result in a sufficient ridership level to justify the required expenditure , We have requested RTA to investigate the feasibility of rerouting or extending Routes 22, 24, or 27E to provide service on Perris Boulevard. If feasible, this can be done at no cost. We will also study service to this area as part of study of service in the Moreno Valley area. About 25 people/day use regular public transit service to get to the present Foundation work- shop near Highway 111. The new location, scheduled to open on May 2nd is on Country Clu Drive, over a mile from the nearest bus route. We have asked SunLine to consider rerouting Line 19 fro m Bob Hope Drive to Monterey Avenue If this is not practical then the Foundation for the Retarded should consider shuttling clients fro m the existing transit route using vans that they own. NAME COMMENTS STAFF RESPONSE J.J. Motley Cathedral City Dorothy D. Hearn Riverside Isidor Heichen Palm Springs Mrs. Charles Rausch Sun City largaret Daugherty North Palm Springs W/ Petition Signed by About 100 People) Requesting evening service and limited Sunday service in the Palm Springs/Pal m Desert area. Complains of buses not running on schedule Requests more direct service from the vicinity of Palm and Jurupa to the Riverside Plaza. Transfers are an inconvenience and connections are sometimes missed. Requests m ore frequent service on Line 19 along Ram on Road Requests that bus arrival and departure times be posted for each bus stop. Requests later bus on Line 27E from Riverside to Sun City. Last bus for Sun City leaves Tyler Mall at 4:50 P.M. Requests restoration of bus service to the North Palm Springs area. Ridership falls considerably in the evenings and on weekends . Staff does believe that Sunday service may be viable on high use lines such as Line 19 . We think that SunLine should consider Sunday service as part of its upgrading of Line 19 scheduled in the draft Short Range Transit Plan in fiscal year 1985. RTA syste m in Riverside has been revised several times to optimize the utility for the majority of users. Unfortunately not everyone can make every trip without trans- ferring. Draft Short Range Transit Plan update for SunLine calls for increasing frequency on Line 19 in about t wo years. This assumes continued patronage growth to justify the additional cost. Higher frequency service would be only during tourist season, however . SunLine does post schedules at each stop but schedule only lists ti mes for selected stops Riders must interpolate times for inter me- diate stops. Staff has asked RTA to consider Sun City deviation off of Line 27E on last run from Riverside Tyler Mall leaving at 6:06 P,M. Service to the North Palm Springs area was terminated recently as part of syste m -wide route restructuring . There were about 16 boardings a day fro m No . Palm Springs and the Sky Valley area. SunLine staff says that they could provide a li mited twice a day, 3 days a week service using the Desert Hot Springs dial a -ride vehicle for a nominal cost (about $5000/year).
