SUBJECT: Report on the Proposed Bus Flag Refurbishment Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Information Only Briefing Item Recommended Motion
Fiscal Impact: Minimal increase in flag and decal production costs.
Background/Discussion: AC Transit staff has developed a program for refurbishing AC Transit’s bus stop flags. (“Flag” is the colloquial name for the metal signs at every bus stop, showing bus line numbers and letters.) There has been great interest in improving the District’s flags for some time. The flags in use now do not use the District’s current branding; they are designed in a way that makes it difficult to maintain their appearance; and they contain very little information, with, in most cases, only the line number or letter displayed.
As staff noted in GM Memo 06-236 (Attachment A), implementing a program akin to the Rapid flags throughout the District would require significant additional resources. However, it is possible to take an intermediate step toward the full program with only minimal additional resources.
This program does not meet the goal of providing additional information (such as destination and transit connections) to the passengers, but it will improve the appearance of the flags and update the branding (logo, fonts, and colors), while minimizing costs and providing for the ability to add more information in the future.

Proposal
The District will update the background artwork of the flags. This background artwork will be compatible with both a set of smaller decals to be used immediately, and larger, more informative decals that can be added later. For now, the District will only use the smaller decals except at Rapid stops.
The small decals will have white numbers or letters on a colored background. The color will match as much as possible the colored headsigns on the buses and the color used on the AC Transit system map. The small decals will contain the same information as is currently found on flags. In most cases this is only the line designation, although any additional information currently found on selected flags (e.g., BART stations) will continue to be provided on the new flags.
The District regularly buys new flags, to replace those that have been damaged or stolen. All new flags purchased will have the following features:
• a printed grid, to allow the maintenance crew to place decals more neatly • space to accept 16 small line-only decals, or four larger, more informative decals, or a combination • a size of 17 inches tall by 19.5 inches wide. (As a comparison, the new Oakland parking “pay station” signs are 18 inches tall by 24 inches wide) • current logo, fonts, phone number, and Web site • space for NextBus stop code and telephone information
However, most flags will not be replaced in this interim program. To save money, the District will refurbish older flags by covering them with a new background. This new background will be similar in design to the background of newly purchased flags, but will match the existing flag sizes.
When the maintenance crew needs to alter a flag’s decals, they will follow a simple procedure. Where a bus line is removed and no new line is added to an older-style flag, the crew will cover the old number with blank decal material, as is done currently. For any other change to an older flag, the crew will replace the flag with either a new or refurbished flag, and install new decals for all lines shown. The old flag will then be sent to the District print shop to be refurbished for future use.
Once this change of replacing the flag is made to any particular stop, it means no change to the maintenance crew’s procedures from that point on: Decals can be covered up or added as before.
The result will be a gradual change-over of flags from old style to new style. More flags can be changed out as time allows, until all flags are changed.
GM Memo No. 08-244 Meeting Date: October 15, 2008 Page 3 of 5
At some future date when resources allow, the smaller decals can be replaced with the larger, more informative decals. The new, larger flags would be installed as needed, but where older flags are sizeable enough to accommodate the larger decals, they would not be replaced. Thus, this project maintains cost-efficient compatibility with future flag improvements.

Report on AC Transit's flag program
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Information Only Briefing Item Recommended Motion
Fiscal Impact: None at this time
Background/Discussion: Each AC Transit bus stop has a metal sign, colloquially called a “flag,” indicating the bus line or lines that stop at that stop. Attachment A, figure 1, is a photograph of a typical flag in the AC Transit system. It displays the designations (numbers or letters) of the lines that stop there on a background of the old AC Transit logo, a symbol representing a bus, and a telephone number for further information.

The above order was passed on ______, 2006.
Rose Martinez, District Secretary By
GM Memo No. 06-236 Subject: Report on AC Transit’s flag program Date: October 18, 2006 Page 2 of 5
The District is maintaining this existing system and, other than replacing the old 817- 1717 telephone number with the 511 telephone number, has no current plan to replace it in most of the District.
A new program has been developed and is in the process of being implemented on the two Rapid lines, in conjuction with the new Rapid poles. Attachment A, figures 2 through 4, are images of information used in this project. Figure 2 is an image of the flag; figure 3 an image of a detail of information on a line as used in the project to place special poles at the 1R and 72R stops; figure 4 is a detail of and key to the various symbols used. The flag background has the new AC Transit logo, the words “bus stop,” a definition of the intermodalism icons used on the line decals, and a telephone number and Internet address.
Each bus line has its own decal area on the flag, with a background the same color as is used on the system map. Each decal contains: • The line designation • The destination, or destinations (for lines with branches or short turns), of this bus line • A brief description of the general span of service of the line, corresponding to the symbol used on the system map • A symbol indicating whether the line is a Rapid or Transbay line • Intermodal icons indicating whether this bus connects to BART, another train system (Amtrak, ACE, VTA Light Rail), a ferry, or the Oakland Airport • The All Nighter logo where appropriate (in lieu of the intermodal icons)
At this time, this program is planned for implementation only at the Rapid stops.
While not strictly part of the flag system, it should be noted that the District has placed pole-mounted schedules at over 800 bus stops and plans to expand this program to 500 additional locations after the upcoming signup is effective. In addition, working with the City of Alameda and the two advertising-supported bus shelter companies, information with fares, maps, and schedules have been placed in cases in just over 400 bus shelters. While this is not a replacement for the flag system, it does provide more information at some bus stops to passengers.
CHALLENGES
The Districtwide flag system is substandard in many ways. Better passenger information as part of stops would be beneficial to passengers, helping to maintain and attract ridership, and improving AC Transit’s image as a premier transportation provider.
While there are many possible ways of providing more information than what is provided now, the type of system used on the Rapid lines, which has evolved from the program implemented in Fremont and Newark in 2000 through the San Pablo Rapid roll-out in
GM Memo No. 06-236 Subject: Report on AC Transit’s flag program Date: October 18, 2006 Page 3 of 5
2003, is arguably what the District should be working to implement throughout the AC Transit system. However, there are many challenges faced in rolling out a system like this.
At the moment, it is easy to specify and place information on flags. Each line has a single decal associated with it, containing only the number or letter, and with minor exceptions that is the same throughout the line. Placing more information on the flags has the potential of multiplying the types of decals for each line, and thus the difficulty of specifying which decals go on which flags, dramatically.
Attachment B is the decal specification book for the Rapid flag deployment in May 2006. (A replacement for the upcoming signup is now being written.) Each line in the book represents a separate decal. The number of decals goes up to at least two for each line, one in each direction, and in many cases goes up to many more. Of the lines that were expected to appear on Rapid flags and thus were prepared in this document, lines 72 and 43 each have eight different decals, lines 74 and 84 have seven, lines G, 15, 72M and 93 have five, and lines L, NL, 11, 51, 55, 59, 59A, and 72R have four.
The changes in business practice that would result from a Districtwide roll-out of this program are substantial. Most obviously, this specification book would have to be completed and decals typeset and printed not only for the subset of lines that share stops with lines 1R and 72R, but for all lines in the District.
More significant is the change in the number of decals produced and placed. When service changes currently, only where a line is added to or removed from a stop does the decal require changing. However, if more information is added, then when that additional information changes, the decal must be changed even if the line designation remains the same. An example is the change in the upcoming signup to Line 99. This line is being extended at both ends: from its terminal at Hayward BART to Bay Fair BART, and from its terminal at Union City BART to Fremont BART. Line 99 decals will be added on the new segments. A flag program with destinations would require the replacement of all line 99 flags, as the old destinations would no longer be valid. Most route changes would require decal changes all along the line, not only in the changed segments. Major changes such as the upcoming service change would become even more challenging for the pole maintenance crew and the print shop.
The most significant challenge, however, is the difficulty of specifying each decal that goes on each stop in the District. This is manageable with the roughly 100 stops in the Rapid program but is vastly greater for the 6400 remaining stops served by the District.
One possibility is to use the descriptions found in the decal specification book and train the pole maintenance crew how to interpret them. While individual experienced pole maintenance crew members do amass considerable knowledge about the bus system, this kind of interpretation of description is not something currently required of them.
GM Memo No. 06-236 Subject: Report on AC Transit’s flag program Date: October 18, 2006 Page 4 of 5
They would not only have to learn about existing service but be briefed on new and changing service in ways that are not done at present. They would also need to be trained to apply that knowledge. It would require significant change from their current practice of working from stop lists prepared by others.
It is more likely that other staff would determine for each stop which decals belong there. This is a significant amount of extra labor. Although the task could be accomplished extemporaneously each time the pole crew needs a specification, it is probably more efficient to develop a database containing this information. A database of bus stops would be maintained containing a list of decals for each stop, and printed reports (or, possibly, a mobile remote database access system) would be provided in which the pole maintenance crew can look up stops when necessary.
Although the District does maintain a database of bus stops, its primary purpose is to provide data to the scheduling system, and restrictions on how the data in the scheduling system can be changed restrict the ability to change data in it in between sign-up periods. Thus, it is not suitable in its current form for the purpose of determining flag decal locations. A secondary database would have to be used and occasionally reconciled with the bus stop database. This would be similar to the database currently used for at-stop schedules, but larger in scope.
A further challenge will be maintaining the quality of the information. It is relatively easy to look at a bus stop and ensure that the right line designations are present. More complicated information means that it will become much more important to have the decal placement by the pole crew checked. This, too, represents a significant amount of additional resources.
Resources
Most obviously, additional resources would be required to purchase and install new flags. Although AC Transit would benefit from replacing its flags because new flags would have the new AC Transit logo, it would be necessary even if the District’s logo and identity program had not been changed. In 2000, AC Transit attempted a preliminary project to place larger, more informative decals on its existing signs in Fremont and Newark in conjunction with the Fremont/Newark Transit Development Plan. While the signs were – to some extent – more informative, they did not achieve the secondary goal of improving AC Transit’s image, because there was simply not enough room on the existing flags to place new, larger decals. An example of the negative result of this approach is shown in Attachment A figure 5. For systems with few lines such as Union City Transit, few branches to their lines such as VTA, or which cover few stops with detailed information such as Muni, the challenge is lesser.
However, the bigger lesson from the Fremont/Newark experience, as well as other experiences with public information projects, is that the up-front costs are only the
GM Memo No. 06-236 Subject: Report on AC Transit’s flag program Date: October 18, 2006 Page 5 of 5
beginning. Projects like this require ongoing, permanent maintenance and a permanent commitment of resources to them. Since incorrect information is worse than no information – it is better to know one does not have needed information than act incorrectly based on bad information – it does a disservice to our riders to produce a project like this and not commit to maintaining it permanently or, at the very least, taking it down when it is no longer correct.
it is clear that significant additional staff time will be required to implement a proposal of this type. While some of the work will be up-front, much of it will be ongoing and thus not easily suited to grant funding.
Two months ago AC Transit hired a Public Information Systems Assistant, and this additional resource will allow some additional projects to be taken on. However, the public information systems work being done is already extensive: regularly creating and following up on the placement of currently 1300 and soon to be 1800 map and schedule signs (including pole-mounted schedules, bus shelters, maps in BART stations and the like), overseeing the cartographic consultants on all AC Transit maps (including new schematic maps to be used for operator training), preparation of schedules for the AC Transit Web site, flag demonstrations on the Rapid lines, working with the Planning Department to prepare service change bags, and working with MTC and MTC’s consultants to prepare wayfinding and public information plans for major transit hubs. It is not clear at this point how much additional time will be available.
