CIT,OF MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA City Councli Meeting of 4-15-oZ0i6 MOORPARK CITY COUNCILACTION:Cioinna AGENDA REPORT BY: (lY+ _ • +n2+s.� TO: Honorable City Council Q, FROM: Sean Corrigan, City Engineer/Public Works Director / �'+- fi� Prepared By: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager DATE: June 3, 2016 (CC Meeting of 06/15/16) SUBJECT: Consider Cancelation of Moorpark City Transit's Demonstration Service for Fixed Route, Dial-A-Ride and Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) Paratransit Services SUMMARY On August 10, 2013, the City began a three-year Transit Demonstration Service program, increasing Moorpark City Transit operating hours from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday to 5:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday and adding Saturday service between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. On August 10, 2015, the City reduced Route 1 service hours from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm to 7:00 am to 6:30 pm, and made adjustments to the Saturday service route (reduced service area) due to a lack of ridership during the Transit Demonstration Service. Ridership has continued to lag behind the City's standard service hours. Staff is proposing to end the Transit Demonstration Service for both fixed route and Senior Dial-A- Ride and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit services. The staff report below provides background of the performance of the City's Transit Demonstration Service and includes information on recent ridership statistics and passenger counts that have been used to determine the proposed adjustments. The following recommended changes are summarized below: 1. Eliminate Saturday bus service. 2. Eliminate Trip 11 for Route 1. New service hours will be 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. 3. Eliminate Trips 1, 13, and 14 for Route 2. New service hours will be 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. 4. Reduce weekday Senior Dial-A-Ride and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit services from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm to 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. 5. Eliminate weekend service Dial-A-Ride and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit services. - 302 Honorable City Council June 15, 2016 Page 2 Attachments 1 and 2 provide draft schedules for Route 1 and Route 2. The current route map for weekday service does not change. The proposed changes to transit services have been posted in the City buses and on the City website. Changes to the Transit Demonstration Service are proposed to become effective August 1, 2016. BACKGROUND On August 10, 2013, the City began a Transit Demonstration Service program, increasing Moorpark City Transit operating hours from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday to 5:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday and adding Saturday service between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. The Transit Demonstration Service is funded with Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Funds, with a local match of 11.47%. The City's CMAQ grant (totally $602,004 for all Transit Demonstration Services)was intended to provide three(3)years of service, in order for the service to gain enough ridership to justify continuing service at the end of the three (3) years. If CMAQ money remains after the three (3)years, the City can continue to use the remaining funds until all money has been expended, or a total of five (5) years has occurred. The Ventura County Transportation Commission has Performance Levels that the City can use as guidelines as far as determining whether or not to continue a demonstration service. Table 1 of the following page describes those Performance Levels. 303 Honorable City Council June 15, 2016 Page 3 Table 1: Transit Demonstration Project Evaluation Criteria (Fixed Route). AT THE END OF TWELVE MONTHS OPERATION Performance Level Calculated Total Farebox Ratio for Recommended Action Demonstration Service Urban Service DAR Service Less than 6.00% Less than 3.00% Provider may discontinue services. 6.00% or more 3.00% or more Provider will continue service with modifications if needed. AT THE END OF TWO YEARS OPERATION Less than 10.00% Less than 5.00% Provider may discontinue service. 10.00% or more 5.00% or more Provider will continue service with modifications if needed. AT THE END OF THREE YEARS OPERATION Less than 15.00% Less than 7.00% Provider may discontinue service. 15.00% - 20.00% 7.00% - 10.00% Provider may consider modifying and continuing service. 20.00% or higher 10.00% or higher Provider will continue service with modifications if needed. 304 Honorable City Council _ June 15, 2016 - Page 4 DISCUSSION Fixed Route Transit Service: Table 2: Demonstration Service Ridership and Expenses, July 2015 — December 2015 MOORPARK CITY TRANSIT - DEMO TOTALS& COMPARISONS Dec CASH TICKETS.

The third year of the Transit Demonstration Service has seen a ridership decrease of 9.79% during the first six months of FY 2015/16 compared to the first six months of FY 2014/15. Revenue has decreased 16.68%during the same time period. The farebox ratio has increased slightly, from 3.19% to 3.71%, which is due to the 28.45% cost reduction that is a result of the service adjustments made at the beginning of FY 2015/16. The farebox ratio goal for the third year of a transit demonstration service is 20.00% or greater. With such a low farebox ratio, the City has the option of either continuing the service as is, adjusting the service to attempt to increase ridership and decrease costs, or, discontinue the service entirely. Staff is recommending discontinuing the service entirely, and establishing new standard service hours as detailed in Table 3 on the following page. 305 Honorable City Council June 15, 2016 Page 5 Table 3: Proposed Weekday Fixed Route Transit Hours Route Start End Start End Start End (pre-demo) (pre-demo) (current) (current) (proposed) (proposed) Route 1 7:00 am 6:00 pm 7:00 am 6:30 pm 7:00 am &30 pm Route 2 6:10 am 4:53 pm 5:00 am 8:00 pm 6:00 am 6:00 pm Dial-A-Ride (DAR) Paratransit Services — Weekday: Moorpark currently provides weekday Senior DAR and ADA Paratransit services. Moorpark is federally obligated to provide Intra-City ADA Paratransit services for any potential passenger within%of a mile of any of MCT's fixed route bus services. Moorpark goes beyond that service requirement and offers ADA Paratransit service for anybody with a valid ADA card for travel within Moorpark as well as Inter-City travel to neighboring cities. Moorpark also offers the Senior Dial-A-Ride service to Moorpark residents aged 65 or older for travel within the City. Throughout the three years of the Transit Demonstration Service, very few passengers (Senior or ADA) have used the service beyond the standard hours of service (6:00 am to 6:00 pm). In December 2015, for example, there were 2 trips out of 149 (or 1.3%) provided that month. Weekday demonstration service trips have averaged between 1% to 3% of ridership. Due to lack of ridership, staff is recommending reducing the service hours for weekday DAR and ADA Paratransit services from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm to 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, to follow the new fixed route service hours. Dial-A-Ride Paratransit Services —Weekend: Moorpark currently provides weekend Senior DAR and ADA Paratransit services(Saturday and Sunday) from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Saturday DAR service averages 3 trips per Saturday and the Sunday service averages 1 trip per Sunday. The average number of trips per day provided on weekdays is 6.6 trips per day. Based upon the limited number of trips provided on the weekend, staff is proposing to end weekend Senior DAR and ADA Paratransit services. Weekend DAR services may resume in the future if the East County Transit Alliance, which the City of Moorpark is a member of, establishes weekend service for the InterCity (travel to other cities) DAR program. FISCAL IMPACT The draft FY 2016/17 budget includes $136,500.00 in CMAQ funding, Fund (2604), and $17,685.00 in Traffic Systems Management Fund (2001) for the required 11.47% local match. Ending the demonstration service effective August 1, 2016, is estimated to save the City approximately $16,211. 306 Honorable City Council June 15, 2016 Page 6 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve canceling the Transit Demonstration Service as detailed in the staff report.
