  1. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEW Balancing Transit Service with Travel Demand and Available Resources

  2. What is the Objective of the Transit Performance Review? Identify Transit Services Reductions that will: • Decrease Transit Expenses in an amount called for in the District’s Financial Plan; and • Minimize negative impacts on: • transit customers • fare revenue • non-District subsidies.

  3. How is Transit Service Performance Determined? • By using Measures of service performance: • Service efficiency - Passengers per trip • Service productivity - Passengers per hour • Service financial effectiveness - Subsidy per passenger • Fare equity - Fare recovery • Financial equity - Subsidy per passenger mile Focus on Financial Measures to Achieve Financial Objective of Reducing Transit Expenses.

  4. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEW PERFORMANCE MEASURES BUS TRANSIT

  5. If applied, then cancel … • Basic Routes: 10, 30, 40, 90, 63, 65 • Commute Routes: 71, 78 • Ferry Feeder Routes:ALL • Local Routes: 17, 21, 23, 27, 33, 39, 45, • 31 routes affected with low patronage but uncertain expense savings BASIC COMMUTE LOCAL FEEDER 20 Patrons Per Trip Standard TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWMeasure: Patrons Per Trip

  6. Commute + Basic account for 84% of service hours TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWDISTRIBUTION OF SERVICE HOURS

  7. 33% Farebox Recovery $23.4 M Savings Significant savings, but big impact on customers 3.5 M Patrons TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWAPPLICATION OF FAREBOX RECOVERY CRITERIA(Basic and Commute Service) Affected Patrons Accumulated Savings

  8. Factors to Consider in Reducing Service • How bus route contributes to System Productivity (ferry shuttle/LFT parking for example) • Incremental cost of route (likely lower than the formula cost) • External (non-District) funding of route • Route connectivity to system (transfers between routes) • Geographic coverage (availability of alternative services) • Special circumstances (impact on transit dependent for example) • Patronage trends including shifts from auto to transit resulting from a GGB toll increase (Option G could increase transbay transit patronage by over 10%).

  9. Golden Gate Transit Service Funding • $23 million in passenger fares provides 30% cost recovery. • $2 million in advertising, fees and other operating revenues. • $2.2 million in direct STA subsidy for transit operations • District receives $17 million of external subsidy to support specific transit services: • $11 million Marin TDA, $600,000 STA and $70,000 from schools for GGT local and regional bus, paratransit and ferry routes serving Marin County. • $4.5 million Sonoma TDA and $20,000 STA for GGT regional bus and paratransit routes serving Sonoma County • $800,000 regional STA from MTC and Eastbay agencies for GGT Route 40 Richmond Bridge service • $70,000 FTA rural transit grants support weekend west marin bus routes. • District toll revenue provides the remaining $33 million to support transit services

  10. Transit Operating Expense • GGT Bus Operating Cost • About $230,000 per bus per year • Over $100 per hour of service • GG Ferry Operating Cost • About $1,000 per ferry crossing • Over $1,000 per hour of service • A significant portion of this expense may not be saved as a result of a service reduction

  11. SUMMARY OF BUS PERFORMANCE MEASURES TOP 10 POORLY PERFORMING ROUTES* TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEW * Out of 32 total basic and commute bus routes

  12. Candidate Bus Routes for Reduction

  13. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEW PERFORMANCE MEASURES FERRY SERVICE (a different approach than bus)

  14. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWFERRY SERVICE • Two Routes • Sausalito-Heavy Tourist influence and seasonality • Larkspur - Predominantly commuter service. • Financial Performance. Available at System Level: 93 patrons per trip, 123 patrons per hour, $5.04 subsidy per patron, 34% fare recovery. • Measures. Patrons by month, time period and by ferry trip.

  15. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWSAUSALITO FERRY SEASONALITY(a definite seasonal pattern) Data: Avg for FY97 - FY01

  16. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWLARKSPUR FERRY SEASONALITY(not seasonal) Data: Avg for 9/98 - FY01; not include SF Giants

  17. TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEWLARKSPUR FERRY WEEKDAY TRENDS(commute use dominates) Average AM and PM Commute Patrons Per Day Average Mid Day Patrons Per Day Average Reverse Peak Patrons Per Day

  18. SUMMARY OF FERRY PERFORMANCE REVIEW POORLY PERFORMING SERVICES TRANSIT PERFORMANCE REVIEW • Based on patterns of low patronage per ferry trip, the following ferry services could be reduced: • Sausalito Midday and Weekend Ferry Service During the Winter Season, • Larkspur Midday Weekday Ferry Service Throughout the Year; • however the affect on the nearly $11 million annual ferry service operating subsidy has not yet been determined.
