The CCCA is an organization of property owners in the Pleasant Hill BART Station area that was organized to jointly implement various programs, including a vanpool program to reduce auto trips to the area. The grant proposes to use Air District funds to help underwrite a portion of the lease payments on vans leased by the vanpoolers. More vanpools will reduce auto trips and related air pollution. The Air District approved the grant and now requires that the County, as the CCCA sponsor, sign a funding agreement to release the funds. A funding agreement is attached and is currently under review by County Counsel. The County must execute the funding agreement by January 7, 2000 to remain eligible for the funds.

The annual cost of the Shuttle is $90,720. A TFCA grant, would provide $70,000. A Measure C-88 grant of up to $20,720, would fully fund the shuttle and eliminate the need to charge fares. Charging the existing CCCTA fare would generate an estimated $13,600 in fare revenues. If grant funds are not approved and received, the project will not be implemented. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS In 1998, the County amended the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area Specific Plan to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation to the area in lieu of further expansion in road capacity. County staff has been working with other agencies to develop projects and programs that implement this policy. The objective of the project is to demonstrate if shuttle service can serve a significant number of BART patrons and reduce the need to drive to the BART station. There is a desire to implement this service as soon as possible given the closure of the temporary park-and-ride lot adjacent to the Pleasant Hill BART Station. On October 13, 1999, the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area Steering Committee endorsed implementation of the Shuttle project. On October 14, 1999, TRANSPAC, the regional transportation planning committee for Central County, voted to support and continue investigation of the Shuttle. Support from BART and the Contra Costa Centre Association would also benefit the project. A grant application and project description has been prepared in cooperation with CCCTA, (see Exhibit A). The project, as proposed, would provide weekday, peak period shuttle service using two vans in neighborhoods with a significant number of BART patrons who are not well-served by existing CCCTA service. The grant request proposes to charge the CCCTA fare of $1.25, but free operation of the service would be preferred. The final design of the service would be subject to the findings of an evaluation of existing feeder bus service to the BART station, which CCCTA has underway. CCCTA staff has indicated it can design the service, provide vehicles and operate the service, if funding is provided to CCCTA. The request for TFCA and Measure C-88 grant funds, if approved, would provide the revenues that CCCTA needs to operate the service for a one- year period. • EXHIBIT A TRANSPORTATION FUND FOR CLEAN AIR CONTRA COSTA PROGRAM MANAGER (40%) APPLICATION/PR FY 2000-2001 SUMMARY INFORMATION 1.

ATTACHMENT A PAGE 6 Pleasant Hill BART Feeder Bus Description: The Pleasant Hill BART Feeder Bus has been designed in coordination with the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority (CCCTA) and BART. The service is targeted to serve BART patrons who drive to the Pleasant Hill BART station in the morning and originate from destinations beyond walking distance of a CCCTA bus stop. In addition, this service has been developed to mitigate the loss of 610 parking spaces at the Pleasant Hill station. Data about Pleasant Hill BART riders was collected in a recent BART station access survey. Patrons entering the BART station were surveyed and the dots shown on the attached map indicate the origins of Pleasant Hill BART A.M. peak riders that drive to the station. The map displays the location of current transit routes in blue. Two zones with significant BART patrons have been targeted for feeder bus service. • Zone 1: South of Treat Blvd., East of Oak Grove North of Ygnacio Valley, and west of Clayton Rd. • Zone 2: west of 680, south of Taylor Rd., North of Geary Rd. and East of Taylor There are approximately 280 BART patrons who drive to the station that live in zone 1 and 230 patrons who drive alone that live in zone 2 for a target population of 510 BART patrons. It is estimated that the shuttle service designed will attract 8 passengers per revenue hour, which equals 48 individuals a day (assuming each individual makes two trips a day). This patronage level translates into an assumption that 9.5% of the target market will be attracted to this new service. To determine the trip length for the purpose of determining the amount of pollutants removed takes into consideration the shuttle portion of the trip from home to the Pleasant Hill BART station and the BART trip to the final destination. Thus the total transit trip length is equal to the drive alone trip length from home to work. The drive alone trip length from home to the BART station in the morning was 3.82 miles based upon BART survey data. The average trip length for passengers exiting at the PHill BART station was 22.1 miles. This totals 25.92 or 26 miles for each one way trip removed. Subscription service would be operated using two buses (one for each zone) in the A.M. and P.M. peak period. Riders would call to request a pick-up time and location then the bus would routinely take them from their home (or other location) to the BART station and back. Only changes would require a phone call. 1999 TFCA Grant Application Pleasant Hill BART Feeder Bus Based upon the location of demand within each zone, a regular route would be established. An assumption of 8 passengers per hour has been used to calculate total ridership as the productivity of this service will be lower than most fixed route service and higher than dial a ride service. Marketing Although the cost estimate does not include an amount for marketing, information about the service will be distributed in coordination with other commute alternatives. Some of the avenues available include the following: • Coordinate with the Commute Alternatives Network. The purpose being to market commute alternatives to employers proximate to BART stations that employ Pleasant Hill residents. • List service on TRAK website. • Include on CCCTA system map and timetables • Place articles in BART riders newsletter Budget The CCCTA has agreed to operate the service after full funding has been obtained. They plan on using the Link contractor and thus the contract cost per hour of$30.00. A three-hour morning and evening peak operation for each bus (2 buses total) that operates five days a week translates into 3,024 revenue hours per year. This multiplied by the cost per hour equals $90,720 for the annual operating cost. If a farebox ratio of 15% is assumed then fares will equal $13,608 leaving the need for $61,986 in subsidy. Because of the $50,000 per ton limit on TFCA funding this grant application is for $70,000. The remainder will be obtained from other sources. Vehicles The service will be operated with vehicles already owned by the CCCTA. The vehicles are new Ford 8,500 lb. GVWR "cut-aways" that meet ADA requirements. They are gasoline powered and carry up to 12 ambulatory passengers and have two wheelchair positions. 1999 TFCA Grant Application Pleasant Hill BART Feeder Bus Nor •.. r. •w $ *\ 0 000 4-1 •• • w • � •1► � t 90 0 Ole • N • • , • •' 00 • •� �k • •• • • • Ww 00 aw M • 'S�:• • �• •• • • • •• • • • t • • �• OP* a r 00 +t • t'• • 44 of , • ,► IN 40 a • , • • • I• ".• • • t • • • i •ri I• • f • �• • • „tt♦,� ♦u • r • • • C. • • , • r, .. .. . 00 ot,• • i • •• •00 S• s••• • ot a • i • 0000 • • 40 • • • 000 r • , _. • • + t • to so 00 •r • r' 4 . • • t Z, • 4 • • •••t• • ••,•. • • f • • • • '� • • r• • as • •• . , • • • .�• •: • • • •. w • • • ,� • • • , • + •• +f f , ,,. • 0j • • • 00, • .air' '' '\ • t • • •' ♦' • •` .,r• , • , • ♦ • • • • • • 00 • • , • • rr •, r • • 0 �i , � ., _ ..

The annual cost of the Shuttle is $90,720. A TFCA grant, would provide $70,000. A Measure C-88 grant of up to $20,720, would fully fund the shuttle and eliminate the need to charge fares. Charging the existing CCCTA fare would generate an estimated $13,600 in fare revenues. If grant funds are not approved and received, the project will not be implemented. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS In 1998, the County amended the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area Specific Plan to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation to the area in lieu of further expansion in road capacity. County staff has been working with other agencies to develop projects and programs that implement this policy. The objective of the project is to demonstrate if shuttle service can serve a significant number of BART patrons and reduce the need to drive to the BART station. There is a desire to implement this service as soon as possible given the closure of the temporary park-and-ride lot adjacent to the Pleasant Hill BART Station. On October 13, 1999, the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area Steering Committee endorsed implementation of the Shuttle project. On October 14, 1999, TRANSPAC, the regional transportation planning committee for Central County, voted to support and continue investigation of the Shuttle. Support from BART and the Contra Costa Centre Association would also benefit the project. A grant application and project description has been prepared in cooperation with CCCTA, (see Exhibit A). The project, as proposed, would provide weekday, peak period shuttle service using two vans in neighborhoods with a significant number of BART patrons who are not well-served by existing CCCTA service. The grant request proposes to charge the CCCTA fare of $1.25, but free operation of the service would be preferred. The final design of the service would be subject to the findings of an evaluation of existing feeder bus service to the BART station, which CCCTA has underway. CCCTA staff has indicated it can design the service, provide vehicles and operate the service, if funding is provided to CCCTA. The request for TFCA and Measure C-88 grant funds, if approved, would provide the revenues that CCCTA needs to operate the service for a one- year period. lip TRANSPORTATION FUND FOR CLEAN AIR EXHIBIT A CONTRA COSTA PROGRAM MANAGER (40%) APPLICATION/PR FY 2000-2001 SUMMARY INFORMATION 1.
