HomeMy WebLinkAbout2003-02-03 City Council (5)City of Palo Alto C ty Manager’s Report TO: FROM: HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: PLANNING AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT DATE: SUBJECT: This is an FEBRUARY 3, 2003 CMR:146:03 UPDATE ON PROPOSED VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (VTA) TRANSIT SERVICE REDUCTION PLAN informational report and no Council action is required. BACKGROUND In December, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) issued notice of a new round of proposed transit service reductions, due to the continuing decline in economic conditions in Santa Clara County (CMR:465:02). The VTA held a series of thirteen public hearings on the proposed 10 percent service reduction plan during .the first two weeks of December. The proposed service plan would have resulted in service modifications on 65 of 72 VTA routes. That initial plan impacted eight routes serving Palo Alto, but most of the changes represented targeted changes that did not appear to affect the essential transit services to and from Palo Alto. The main exception was the proposed discontinuation of Saturday service on Lines 86 and 88. DISCUSSION Based on input received at the county-wide public meetings and additional public comments via letters, emails and phone calls, the VTA has developed a revised three-part proposal which includes: a) restoration of some of the proposed service cuts in Palo Alto, b) a 3 percent service cut to be implemented in April 2003, and c) further service reductions of up to 9 percent, pending further ongoing assessment of the VTA finances. The revised proposal has been approved by the VTA Technical Advisory committee, and is scheduled to go to the VTA Board of Directors for approval on February 6. The VTA held a public meeting in Palo Alto on Thursday, December 5 at the Lucie Stem Community Center to discuss these plans and receive public comment. The most severe cut proposed at that time was elimination of Sunday service on both Lines 86 and 88, two local feeder routes serving Palo Alto. Approximately 30 members of the public attended. Several attendees spoke in opposition to aspects of the plan. Most concerns were expressed by patients and administrators at the CMR 146:03 Page 1 of 3 Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital, who stated that elimination of Saturday service on Line 88 would severely impact mobility of patients at the VA Hospital, especially those in the Blind Rehabilitation Pro~am who have Saturdays free. Both visually impaired bus riders and the VA Director of Voluntary services discussed the unique concerns and quality of life issues related to the access to transit at the hospital. As a result of the input received, the VTA has responded by modifying the aspects of the proposal that had the most impact on Palo Alto transit riders and has restored the following elements to its service plan: Line 22: 24-hour service will be maintained 7 days a week Line 86: Saturday service will be maintained Line 88: Saturday service will be maintained. Staff believes that, with the restoration of these service cuts, the VTA has responded to Palo Alto community concerns and the remainder of the proposed changes will not alter the essential transit services to and from Palo Alto. The service changes that continue to be included in the plan or are to be studied further represent a modest fine-tuning of the remaining local routes and schedules. Service changes that remain in the proposed April service reduction plan are as follows: Line 22 (Eastridge Transit Center to Palo Alto/Menlo Park Caltrain Station): Selected early morning and evening trips on weekdays and Saturdays would be eliminated. Line 88 (Veterans Hospital to Louis & Meadow): On weekdays, selected early morning and evening trips would be modified. Items the VTA is placing on hold pending further ongoing assessment of agency’s financial condition include the following: Line 88 (Veterans Hospital to Louis & Meadow): On weekdays, midday service would operate only be~,een Charleston/Middlefield, the Veterans Hospital, and the California Caltrain Station in both directions (similar to the cmTent Saturday route). Midday service extension to Hillview & Arastradero Road would be eliminated. Limited Stop Line 300 (East San Jose to Palo Alto Caltrain Station): Midday service would be discontinued and peak hour sexwice would operate every 30 minutes. The 6:52 p.m. eastbound trip would be deleted. Express Line 101 (Camden & Hwv 85 to Pa!o Alto): The 5:10 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. southbound trips would be combined into one trip. CMR: 146:03 Page 2 of 3 Express Line 102 (South San Jose to Palo Alto): The 5:12 a.m. northbound and 2:39 p.m. southbound trips would be deleted. Express Line 104 (Piedmont Hills to Palo Alto): The routing would be modified to bypass the Shoreline Industrial Park. Both the morning and afternoon service would be reduced to three trips in each direction. ATTACHI~IENTS A. Revised VTA Transit Service Reduction Plan PREPARED BY: GAYL% LIKENS Transportation Projects Manager DEPARTMENT HEAD: STEVE EMSLIE Director of Planning and Community Environment CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: ’EMILY HARRISON Assistant City Manager CMR:146:03 Page 3 of 3 AGENDA ITEM # 8 SANTA CLARA Valley Transportation Authority BOARD MEMORANDUM Date: Committee Meeting Date: Board Meeting Date: ACTION DISCUSSION December 18, 2002 January 9, 2003 February 6, 2003, IN X TO: THROUGH: Technical Advisory Committee Santa Clara Valley Transportaiion Authority Board of Directors Peter M. Cipolla General Manager FROM: SUBJECT: Frank T. Martfn Chief Operating Potential Transit Service Reductions FOR INFORMATION ONLY BACKGROUND: About 80% of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) operating rev-enues are generated from sales tax of one form or another. VTA receives a ½ cent local sales tax, and a 1A cent in State Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds that are returned to source. These two sales taxes are the principal revenue source VTA has to fund bus and light rail transit service and capital projects. With the continued poor performance of the local economy, VTA’s primary revenue source, sales tax, has experienced a sustained and significant reduction. In an effort to adch’ess this revenue shortfall, VTA has taken a number of steps to reduce operating expenses and increase revenues. For example, in the FY 2003 budget, VTA imposed a hiring freeze, deferred or eliminated $70 million in locally funded capital projects, developed proposals to significantly reduce administrative expenses and eliminated over 300 positions. In July 2002, VTA also implemented a 15% fare increase and 5% service reduction. While these efforts were partially successful in controlling costs, VTA is still experiencing an expense/revenue imbalance causing reserves to be ch-awn-down at a rate of approximately $5 million per month. To compound the situation, VTA’s bus and light rail ridership continues to decline resulting in reduced farebox revenues. System ridership (bus and light rail combined) has declined nearly 14% in the last 2 years. 3331 t, iorth First Street ¯ San Jose, CA 95134-1906 ¯ Administration 408.321.5555 ¯ Customer Service 408.321.2300 DISCUSSION: VTA cannot absorb this reduction in sales tax revenue without impacting ~ansit service. In response to current economic conditions, XWA-prepared a Potential Transit Service Reduction Plan that equated to approximately a !0% reduction in transit service. Staff mailed the Plan of potential service reductions to all cities located in Santa Clara County and the County to request comments and conducted 13 public meetings between December 2 and December 11 in Campbell, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, and Sunnyvale to solicit public input on the proposed changes. X~I’A also conduct a public hearing on the proposed service changes in compliance with the California Emdronmental Quality Act (CEO.A) in early Janum-y 2003. A list of the public meeting times, dates and locations is included as Attachment A. The Potential Transit Service Reduction Plan represents a "worst case scenario". The actual amount of reductions ultimately presented to the Board of Directors may be less for the following reasons: After revie~dng input received from the public meetings, phone calls to the information center, letters, emaBs, and input received from the comment cards provided with the brochure, staff will determine which items should be removed from the proposal due to severe rider impact/hardship. In developing the 10% list of poten~al reductions, it was relatively easy for staff to identify the first 2-3%. These were items that staff would normally recommend for corrective actions . through VTA’s Annual Route Evaluation Process. However, identifying the remaining 7-8% presented a greater chaBenge, as the. impacts to existing riders increased. Several financial activities are underway in an effort to minimize the amount of service reductions that are needed. VTA staff is in the process of re-assessing the capita] program in an effort to defer or eliminate projects that are significantly locally funded, and staff is also in the early stages of developing the FY 200312004 operating budget, which may yield additional savings. Additionally, information onthe last quarter’s tax receipts will be available towards the end of December, which will be a factor in how much of a semdce reduction will have to be undertaken. VTA is committed to minimizing the impact this financial situation has for service-on-the-street, and only implementing a reduction in the amount deemed absolutely necessary at this time. Due to the activities described above, the amount and details of the specific Transit Service Reduction Plan are not available at the time this report is being prepared. Between now and the next meeting of this Committee, the Transit Service Reduction Plan will be refined and the staff recommended Plan wJ~ be presented to the Committee at its January meeting. Page 2 of 3 Attachment B provides a complete listing, by line, of the 10% potential reductions that were presented to the public. The staff recommended Transit Service Reduction Plan would be a subset of these items after reviewing public comments and assessing VTA’s financial situation. The staff recommended Plan would go to the Board Standing Committees in January, and to the Board of Directors on February 6, 2003. If approved by the Board of Directors, the Transit Service Reduction Plan would be implemented on April 14, 2O03. ALTERNATIVES: The Board of Directors could modify the Transit Ser~4ce Reduction Plan to increase or decrease proposed service reduction levels. FISCAL IMPACT: A 10% reduction in transit service is estimated to save approximately $15-20 million. Prepared by: l~iike Aro, Deputy Director of Service and Operations Planning Page 3 of 3 VTA TRANSIT SERVICE REDUCTION PLAN REVISED JANUARY 2003 In December 2002, VTA conducted thirteen public meetings to present the Proposed Transit Service Reduction Plan to the community and obtain public comments and suggestions. VTA staff reviewed public comments and revised the Proposed Transit Service Reduction Plan to incorporate comments that were received. Some of the routes previously identified for modification will not be impacted as extensively, or will not be changed at all. Unfortunately, other routes will have service reductions due to the current economic environment and decreased ridership. Other items will be deferred pending an on-going assessment of VTA’s financial situation. The following revised plan is composed of three parts: Part A- Items Being Removed from the Plan Part B- Items to be Implemented in April 2003 Part C- Items on Hold Pending On-Going Financial Assessment This revised plan will be presented for approval to the VTA Board of Directors at its regular meeting on February 6, 2003 at 6:00 p.m., at the Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Government Center, 70 W. Hedding Street, San Jose.
