BACKGROUND The 1997-98 Operating Budget included $75,000 to develop a long-range plan for a community-based bus system serving Palo Alto residential neighborhoods and local destinations, such as commercial areas, employment centers, transit stations, schools, cultural centers, and social centers. The plan is intended to identify transportation needs that could be served by a local bus. system and present options for an affordable local bus system to serve the highest-priority community needs, a proposed funding strategy, and an implementation plan~ DISCUSSION The consultant scope of work describes the steps of the planning process, including needs assessment, priority setting, development of system alternatives, choice of a preferred alternative, analysis of altemative funding mechanisms and recommendations, and an action plan for a first phase of service. The process will include public workshops, stakeholder group meetings, and worldng papers that will be available for public comment. (Please refer to Exhibit A attached to the agreement for details of the scope of work.) As reported to Council in July (CMR:318:98), staff formed a Project Advisory Committee (PAC) to assist with consultant selection, help the consultant gather input from the constituent groups represented on the committee, and review and comment on the consultant’s work at various stages of the study. Since the July status report (CMR:318:98), the PAC has been expanded to include representatives from the Palo Alto Unified School District, Stanford Research ClvlR:387:98 Page 1 of 3 Park, Duveneck Neighborhood Association, and the University South Neighborhood Group. A revised roster of the PAC is provided as Attachment B. Selection Process During their review of the 199%98 list of proposed consultant services over $25,000, neither the Policy and Services Committee nor the Finance Committee identified this project as one of the projects for which it would like to review the draft scopeof work prior to beginning the consultant selection process. Therefore, staff initiated a process to retain a consultant. Staff reviewed the scope of work with the PAC, and its comments were incorporated into the final document. The PAC appointed a representative subgroup to serve as the Consultant Selection Committee. Committee members were: Phyllis Cassel Will Beckett Kathy Durham Kathleen Owynn Ashok Aggarwal Gayle Likens Julia Fremon Planning Commission Bma’on Park Association PTA Council, Palo Alto Unified School District Senior Coordinating Council Transportation Division Transportation Division Transportation Division (contract project coordinator) A request for Letters of Qualification was mailed to 28 firms on April 21, 1998 (Attachment C). Of the 28 firrns, four responded with Letters of Qualification. On June 16, 1998, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was mailed to three of the four finns and to an additional consultant who requested a copy. The proposals were due on July 7, 1998. Of the four firms mailed the RFP, two submitted proposals. Both consultant teams were interviewed by the Consultant Selection Committee on July 22, 1998. The Committee selected NelsonkNygaard .Consulting Associates as its fu’st choice based on the firm’s expertise in planning small transit systems. The Committee also based its decision on the composition and experience of the project team, as well as its understanding 0fthe project, extensive community planning experience, and public presentation capabilities. Consultant Agreement Staff has negotiated an agreement (Attachment A) with NelsonkNygaard Consulting Associates for this project, The total negotiated price of the agreement is $74,820. The budget includes no contingency, so any new tasks requested by the City during the course of the study will necessitate a reduction of scope in some other area. RE R E IMPA T Funding of $75,000 in the 1997-98 Operating Budget will be used to develop this long-range .plan. CMR:387:98 Page 2 of 3 POLICY IMPLICATION8 The recommendation of this report is consistent with Policy T-4 of the 1998-2010 Comprehensive Plan to provide local transit in Palo Alto, and Program T-13 to develop "a jitney bus system similar to Stanford University’s Marguerite Shuttle." TIMELINE The planning process’ is expected to begin later this month, produci.ng a recommended long-range plan by early Spring 1999, for consideration by the Planning Commission and Council in late Spring 1999.

N\N will identify both the places that have true potential for generating ridership, as well as places of civic importance, such as libraries or the Baylands, where there may be other reasons for serving with transit. 1.4 Gather travel demand information from the community at large N\N has budgeted for a total of 6 stakeholder group meetings. At the direction of the PAC, N\N will schedule these meetings includingall or some of the following groups: the Chamber of Commerce, including the Downtown Marketing Group and the California Avenue Association ¯the Employee Transportation Coordinator Council of the Stanford Research Park ¯officials and boardmembers from the school district, and key members of the PTA including the chair of the Safe Routes to School committee ¯the Palo Alto Senior Center ¯local neighborhood groups ¯others that the PAC will help us to identify, including coordinators of the libraries, communitycenters, after-school programs, parks and recreation programs, senior care facilities, Urban Ministry, major developers, and so on. 1,5 Meet with the PAC to identify travel demand and transportation needs of the community that might be served by a local shuttle system, N\N’s second meeting with the PAC will focus on refining the transit needs and issues map developed in Task 1.3. After this meeting, N\N will produ.ce a refined map. 1,6 . Review and. summarize transportation literature relevant to a Palo Alto transit system, N\N will gather materials from the following communities whose transit experience is directly relevant to Palo Alto’s situation, and provide a summary document to the PAC: Emeryville, which createdits own shuttle system in partnership with local businesses and developers. Wilsonville, OR, which broke away from Portland METRO ,to form its own transit system. Corvallis, OR, a college town like Palo Alto, which restructured their transit system to support the community’s goals.

It.will identify all possible funding opportunities, including, both traditional and ’!creative" sources. The identified sources will state whether they can be used for capital investments or as operating subsidy or whether there is flexibility and they could be used for either purpose. Funding sources that will be explored include, but are not necessarily limited to: Federal ¯TEA-21 (CMAQ/STP) " ° TEA-211(Enhancements) State ¯STIP ,"Regional Shares" ¯Caltrans Discretionary Grant LocallRegional ¯TFCA(AB 434) ,°City of Palo Alto In-Kind Services °City of Palo Alto General Funds °Petroleum Violation Escrow Account (PVEA) Grant°MTC Discretionary Grants °Local tax revenues NELSONINYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES 1-5 SEPTEMBER,, LOCAL BUS SYSTEM PLAN Passenger fares Parking charges in certain business districts Traffic Impact Fees Revenue-Sharing with VTA Private Contributions ¯Developer Contributions/Exactions ¯Homeowner Associations Fees ¯Employers/Developer Groups °Merchant Contributions For each source, N\N will project how much it is expected to generate, the likelihood of success, ease of implementation, and political viability. Of particular interest may be the concept of a public-private partnership with funding contributions from a variety of sources. 2.2 Evaluate the pros and cons of charging a fare N\N will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of imposing a passenger fare on the proposed local Palo Alto service. N\N will project ridership and revenues assuming a modest fare structure and assess the impact on ridership with and without a fare. An important element of this analysis is to assess how much revenue will be generated compared to the administrative costs associated with fare collection. To double-check our analysis, N\N Will examine the experiences of other relevant local services. 2.3 Present Preliminary Findings~ to City Staff and the PAC N\N will present our progress on Tasks 2.1 and.2.2 for review by City staff and the PAC. Our report will include a matrix on the funding potential with corresponding text to clarify .and analyze the likelihood and applicability of these various funding opportunities. N\N will also review our analysis of passenger fares in a technical memorandum format. N\N expects that City staff and the PAC will provide us with feedback and direction which will provide the foundation for an evaluation of funding opportunities. 2.4 Develop a Priority Ranking of Funding of Funding Sources Based on the results of Task 2.3, N\N will prioritize the potential funding sources. The ranking will be based on agreed upon criteria, including level of funds likely to be generated, application process and likelihood of success, timing/funding cycles, funding restrictions and other appropriate factors. 2.5 Summarize funding sources in a Working Paper A preliminary financial plan will then be prepared in Working Paper format. It will be reviewed in detail with staff so that they have a full understanding of its assumptions and NELSONINYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES I-6 SEPTEMBER CITY OF PALO ALT(.~ :~LOCAL BUS SYSTEM PLAN projection methods.

Linda Rhine, N\N partner 1 PAC meeting outlining range, of funding source, a pursue or Task 3: Identify and Analyze System Alternatives 3.1 Determine service concepts most appropriate for Palo Alto N\N will examine three types of service concepts and provide summary explanations of each with recommendations as to their applicability in Palo Alto: ¯Standard, fixed-route transit .°Timed transfer employer shuttles, and o DART, or Direct Access Rapid Transit °Standard Dial-a-Ride and more modern versions using GPS technology 3.2 Map routes and route segments based on priorities from Task 1 N\N will lay out all the key route segments identified in Task 1, weighted according to their priority, on a series of presentation board-sized maps. With many overlapping lines of varying thickness, clear patterns will emerge showing key potential transit corridors. N\N will then apply these composite lines to the city street grid. 3.3 Develop a matrix of system alternatives and select three forfurther study N\N will work with the PAC on a matrix of system alternatives including the following factors: °service concepts °route structure ¯frequency, hours, time of day and day of week °funding opportunities/levels With advice from the PAC, N\N will compose three specific, recommended system alternatives for furt.her study. NELSONINYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES 1-7 SEPTEMBER~ 1998 LOCAL BUS SYSTEM PLAN 3.4 Analyze costs and benefits of each alternative N\N will take the priorities developed in Task 1 and convert these into weighted criteria. After securing agreement on the criteria from.the PAC, N\N will rank each of the three system alternatives, creating a large evaluation matrix. To add to the evaluation matrix, N\N will also measure the relative ridership potential of each alternative. 3.5 Analyze opportunities for coordination with other agencies N\N will analyze the following opportunities for coordination, recommendations to answer the following questions: and will make Can Palo Alto become VTA’s first test case of its new "Local Access Node" B or LAN R concept? How may Palo Alto’s needs be addressed in VTA’s Commute Service Plan? How might Palo Alto restructure its relationship with VTA to maintain important regional services but provide for its own local needs? Should Palo Alto join VTA’s EcoPass program for free resident rides on VTA lines? What are VTA’s future plans for the bus facility at the downtown Caltrain station? How can VTA help accommodate additional shuttle vehicles there? How should Palo Alto relate to the new light rail station in Mountain View? SamTrans How should existing services such as the 50C, 50V, 5L and 5M be incorporated into a Palo Alto shuttle system, and how should planned changes like the rerouting of the 5L and the restructuring of the 50 lines be accommodated? Caltrain ’ How can Caltrain help fund and promote additional shuttle service in Palo Alto? How can Caltrain help develop additional shuttle stops at its Palo Alto stations? Stanford University N\N will meet with the directors of the Parking and Transportation Services group and the Facilities Department to ascertain their current interests with regard to a Palo Alto shuttle. N\N will also address the following questions: ~How should the Research Park-be included in the shuttle plan? ¯How might overlapping service at the Stanford Shopping Center be addressed? Might the Shopping Center be a source of funding? ¯How should the existing Marguerite Downtown Express be managed?

Menlo Park N\N will meet with Menlo Park’s Transportation Manager to discuss opportunities for coordination and cooperation with Menlo Park’s planned and existing shuttle services. 3.6 Present alternatives at a public workshop Using a large set of color display boards, N\N will walk the public through our process of arriving at three alternatives. N\N will take time to highlight the trade-offs of transit planning: coverage versus intensity timed transfers versus strict schedule adherence mobility for all versus congestion reduction how increasing total costs can decrease cost per passenger ride how neighborhood density determines ridership how multiple transfers decrease ridership how no service is often better than just a little service and so on N\N will break the meeting into small groups, so that everyone present can have a real conversation about the planned service. Since N\N expects .a large turnout at our hearing, N\N will rely on all the members of the PAC, plus everyone on the Nelson\Nygaard team, to lead small group discussions. Each group should appoint a spokesperson who will summarize comments for the full audience. At the end of the meeting, N\N will summarize the summaries so the attendees are certain they have been heard. Finally, N\N will describe to the attendees what the next steps are and how they can submit additional comments. 3.7 Refine alternatives based on public input and summarize in a working paper After the public hearing N\N will produce a substantial working paper, describing the process to date and the whole range of alternatives that had been analyzed and discussed. N\N will discuss why some alternatives were rejected, then focus on the three alternatives still being explored, including refinements from the public hearing. N\N will provide analysis of the relative merits and disadvantages of each alternative, along with a refined version of the matrix N\N produced in Task 3.4. The working paper will include maps and illustrations throughout, and be aimed at both technical and non-technical .audiences.

To help commissioners and councilmembers make very difficult decisions about exactly how the service is implemented, N\N will provide each member with a summary booklet of the project’s goals, constraints, trade-offs and measures of success. N\N expects that by the end of the Council meeting, N\N will have clear direction as to what kind of system the City prefers. To help resolve complex issues that will inevitably arise, N\N is prepared to return to the Planning Commission and the City Council for one additional meeting. 4.2 Identify and EvaluateGovernance Structure The purpose of this.task is to identify a structure of governance, management and operation for a proposed local Palo Alto bus service. Depending upon the type and extent of services proposed, the options include, but are not limited to: Department within the City of Palo Alto Transportation Management Association (TMA) Joint Powers Authority VTA N\N will identify the advantages and disadvantages of each type of governance in the context of the recommended service scenarios. 4.3 Compile a Long-Range Local Bus System Plan NELSONINYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES 1-10 SEPTEMBER, 1998 (~ITY OF PALO ALT(I LOc,~L BUs SYSTEM PLAN With final direction from the City Council, N\N will develop a Long-Range Local Bus System Plan, addressing the following issues: a.preferred routes, identifying neighborhoods, districts and trip types served; b.recommended hours and frequency of service; c.vehicle specifications; d.recommended bus stop amenities; e.staffing requirements; f.operating responsibilities of the City and of the vendor providing the service; g.a financial plan, including operating and capital funding strategies and possible fare structure; h.a capital plan, detailing expenses for bus stop, streetscape and transit center capital improvement, and a funding plan to pay for those investments.
