Transit Service, Capital and Financial Plan Chapter 9 Transit Service, Capital and Financial Plan The basis for any transit plan is the development of an effective and appropriate service strategy. The types of service provided, their schedules and routes, and the quality of service can effective determine the success offailure of a transit system. This chapter presents the recommended service changes for implementation in October 2005 when the RT light rail service to Folsom begins, and other service options forfuture consideration over the next five years. Also included in this chapter is a capital plan for replacement of the transitf eet and a detailed financial plan for the City's transit division for fiscal years 2005/06 through 2010/11 that includes recommended modifications to the Folsom Stage Line fare structure. Transit Service Plan Service Recommendations for Phase I Implementation (October 2005) The following service changes are recommended for implementation on Monday, October 17, 2005 when the RT light rail extension to Folsom begins revenue service operations. 1) Discontinue all commuter bus service to Downtown Sacramento. 2) Discontinue the feeder bus service to the Butterfield light rail station. 3) Discontinue the tripper transfer service. 4) Restructure local fixed service (Route 10) into a local feeder route (Route A) that provides service to the Iron Point and Historic Folsom light rail stations, maintaining the connection to RT route 24 at Main/Madison in Orangevale. New local service would be provided on Iron Point Road between East Bidwell Street and Folsom Boulevard, and would continue to serve Folsom Lake Community College . The route alignment is described in Chapter 5 as Alternative Route A (blue route on the map on Figure 25 on page 131 . Recommended service to be provided on weekdays only with the following frequency and hours of service : 30-minute peak service, 6:00 a.m. to 8 :30 a.m . and 3 :30 p.m . to 6:00 p.m . Hourly midday service, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p .m. Since RT's Route 24 operates hourly service, it is recommended that hourly service be provided all day on the segment of Route A between the Historic Folsom Station and the RT bus stop at Main/Madison in Orangevale. 5) Supplement one trip on Route A in the morning (before 8:00 a.m.) and one trip in the afternoon (around 5 :00 p.m .) on the local fixed route with a 45-seat bus that would pull-out in the morning to the Iron Point Station to be available as an overflow bus that would only travel to the bus stop on the City of Folsom Short-Range Transit Plan Update Draft Report, August 2005 Chapter 9, Page 127 south side of Iron Point Road at Intel and then would pull-in to the corporation yard. In the afternoon, this bus would pull-out before 5 :00 p .m. and would go to the bus stop/shelter on the north side of Iron Point Road, farside of Prairie City Road (by the Safeway shopping center) to pick up Intel employees who get off work at 5 :00 p.m. After dropping passengers off at the Iron Point Station, this bus would pull-in to the corporation yard. This service was described in Alternative 1 in Chapter 5 . 6) Deviate one trip on Route A in the morning (before 8:00 a.m.) and one trip in the afternoon (after 3 :00 p.m . on Monday through Thursday, and after 1 :30 p.m . on Fridays) on the local fixed route to continue to provide service for Folsom High School students who live in either the American River Canyon or Lexington Hills neighborhoods, which are outside the FCUSD's service area boundaries. The deviated route alignment is described below. Route A Deviated Morning Trip (from Historic Folsom Station) From the Historic Folsom Station, the bus would travel on Liedesdorff Street, Riley Street, onto Rainbow Bridge over the American River, right on Folsom-Auburn Road, left on Oak Avenue Parkway, left on American River Canyon Drive, left on Greenback Lane, onto Rainbow Bridge over the American River, right on Liedesdorff Street to the Historic Folsom light rail station, and then follow the regular route to Creekside Drive and Oak Avenue Parkway . From this point, the bus would deviate through the Lexington Hills neighborhood by cross Oak Avenue Parkway from Creekside Drive onto North Lexington Drive, then right on Prewett Drive, right on Silberhorn Drive, right on Scholar Way, and then into the Folsom Lake College (FLC) campus. From FLC, the bus would follow the regular route to the Iron Point Station, dropping students off at the bus stop on Iron Point Road, nearside of Grover Road, across from Folsom High School . Route A Deviated Afternoon Trip from Iron Point Station From the Iron Point Station, the bus would follow the regular route to Folsom Lake College, picking students up at the bus stop on Iron Point Road, farside of Grover Road, at Folsom High School . From FLC, the bus would deviate through the Lexington Hills neighborhood by turning left on Scholar Way, left on Silberhorn Drive, left on Prewett Drive, left on North Lexington Hills Drive, across Oak Avenue Parkway onto Creekside Drive . From this point, the bus would follow the regular route to the Historic Folsom Station, and over the American River on Rainbow Bridge . From Greenback Lane and Folsom-Auburn Road, the bus would deviate by turning right on Folsom-Auburn Road, left on Oak Avenue Parkway, left on American River Canyon Drive, then right on Greenback Lane, following the regular route to the Main/Madison terminus. 7) Add a new flexible fixed local route (Route B) that provides feeder service between the Glenn Station and the Folsom Civic Center with optional route deviation service offered within 3/4 of a mile of the fixed route . During the morning and afternoon peak periods, this route could deviate from the Glenn Station to the Lake Forest Technical Center and could also possibly deviate to the Folsom State Prison, depending on ridership demand. The route alignment is described in Chapter 5 as Alternative Route B (green route on the map on Figure 25 on page 131 . Recommended service to be provided on weekdays only with the following frequency and hours of service : 30-minute peak service, 6:30 a.m. to 8 :00 a.m . and 4:00 p.m . to 5 :30 p.m . Hourly midday service, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p .m. 8) Expand weekday Dial-A-Ride service hours (for seniors age 55 and older and disabled Folsom residents) from 7 :30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 5 :30 p.m. to 6 :00 p.m. so the service span will be 7 :00 a.m. to 6 :00 p .m. on weekdays . Also, offer subscription or "standing order" Dial-A-Ride trip requests as City of Folsom Short-Range Transit Plan Update Draft Report, August 2005 Chapter 9, Page 128 long as the subscription trips are not more than 50 percent of the available trips (per the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines). 9) Replace weekday evening fixed route service with Dial-A-Ride service that is open to the general public from 6 :00 p .m. to 10:30 p.m . Promote this service particularly to Folsom Lake College to attract ridership by students attending evening classes. Closely monitor the ndership, during the first three to six months . If ndership is less than three passengers per hour, consider a taxi subsidy program as described in Chapter 5 as Alternative 3-b. Item numbers 4 through 9 comprise the service options described as Alternative 1 in Chapter 5 . In summary, this service plan element would have the following attributes in FY 2005/06 : Peak Bus Requirements: a) four Bluebirds on Route A, b) two cutaway vehicles on Route B, c) three or four cutaways on the Dial-A-Ride service . Service Days: Monday through Friday Span of Service: Route A - 6 :00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m ., Route B - 6 :00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Dial-A- Ride - 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p .m., General Public Dial-A-Ride - 6 :00 p.m. to 10:30 p .m . Service Frequency: 30-minute peak, Hourly midday Annualized Revenue Service Hours: 22,181 Annualized Operating Costs : $2,107,281 10) Through the RT service agreement, have Paratransit, Inc. provide the complementary paratransit service during the following service hours: Weekdays : 4 :45 a.m . to 7 :00 p.m . Saturdays: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sundays: 9:45 a.m. to 7:15 p .m. The bus and light rail service frequency and span to take effect on October 15, 2005 is summarized in Table 48 and the proposed bus routes are shown on Figure 25.

  • Folsom Short Range Transit Plan Update Project Appendix G.1 Public
    Folsom Short Range Transit Plan Update Project Appendix G .1 Public Comments Summary BUS SERVICE Commuter Feeder Service to Folsom Light Rail Stations Feeder bus essential for Folsom residents to take advantage of light rail; should run all day. Need fast, quick feeders to/from light rail during peak commuter hours only . Local feeder routes need to be within walking distance of residences, not just businesses. Draft bus service plan seems to cater to commercial traffic much more than commuters . Why can't the commuter public be covered during peak time (i.e ., 6 AM - 7 :30 PM & 4 PM - 5 :30 PM) and commercial traffic off-peak. Consider different routes for commuters (5am - 9 am, 3pm - 7pm) than for in-town customers (run all day). Commute routes should be designed to serve largest neighborhood populations possible and travel quickly to L.R. stations . Daytime in-town routes would serve major retail, city hall, college, etc. Early a.m. pick up (bus stop) at East Natoma & Briggs Ranch to light rail to get me to work by 6:30 a.m. Maintain service on Folsom-Auburn Road from Folsom Dam Road and provide feeder service to Historic Folsom light rail station. Add a peak-only loop up Folsom-Auburn, Oak Avenue Parkway, American River Canyon, Greenback, right on Folsom-Auburn, up unused center lane ramp to the Historic Folsom light rail station. Residents in Orangevale seemed to get better service even though they already have current RT service ; RT and Folsom could make arrangements so Folsom would no longer have to loop out to Madison/Main (e .g.

Introduction The 2011‐2012 Sacramento Regional Transit Comprehensive Operational Analysis, commonly known as “TransitRenewal”, includes a review of existing market conditions and transit service and aims to position the RT network to sustainably meet future transit demand within the service area. Sustainability is the method of using a resource without depleting or gdamagin it for future use. Sustainable transit planning focuses on meeting transit needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet such needs1. TransitRenewal responds to changing economic circumstances and RT’s new financial realities. In 2010, RT implemented substantial service reductions which included discontinuing several bus routes, reducing service levels, and reducing spans. TransitRenewal responds to RT’s plan to regain previous FY 2010 service levels and intends to identify core areas of the RT system where investment will have a maximum benefit, and will guide RT to a more financially sustainable future.

  • EXISTING CONTEXT Historic Folsom Station
    2 EXISTING CONTEXT Historic Folsom Station In order to begin developing TOD strategies, funding recommendations, and design solutions for stations spanning three cities and many unincorporated parts of Sacramento county, it is first necessary to thoroughly understand the current context of the Sacramento region and individual neighborhoods around the light rail system. Specifically, this includes an understanding of the current light rail system and the unique challenges and opportunities facing TOD project within the Sacramento region. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The SacRT light rail system was mostly built along existing freight rail line right-of-way and along major arterials or freeways, placing many of the stations in industrial neighborhoods that are difficult to access and redevelop. The system is made up of three separate lines–Blue, Gold, and Green—and serves approximately 20 million riders each year. Although these lines overlap within Downtown Sacramento, most stations are distinct to one specific line outside of the urban core. The system operates in three cities (Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento) and portions of unincorporated Sacramento county, as shown in Figure 1. Operating at headways ranging from 15 minutes during peak times to 30 minutes during off times, the system provides opportunities for riders to access major destinations throughout the region. Planned expansions include an extension of the Green Line to the Sacramento International Airport; more efficient 15 minute frequencies along the Gold Line; and a possible extension
