Committee for Transit Accessibility

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Operating Officer, Inez Evans

SUBJECT: Chief Operating Officer's Report


FOR INFORMATION ONLY

BACKGROUND:

The Chief Operating Officer provides the Committee for Transit Accessibility (CTA) with an

update on items of relevance to the CTA at each monthly meeting. In keeping with Chairperson

Aaron Morrow’s request to have agenda items in writing and in the agenda packet, we will make

every effort possible to comply with his request. Since this report is timely and reflects up-to-the

minute information a written report for the agenda packet may not always be available.

DISCUSSION:

Events that have occurred since June 2015:

Super Bowl 50 Planning

VTA continues to meet regularly with the NFL, Homeland Security, FBI, local law enforcement,

the 49ers, and other bay area transit providers in preparation for Super Bowl 50. Planning topics

include security perimeters, traffic access, light rail train access, ACE/Capitol Corridor Station &

parking concerns, etc.

On Monday, August 24th, VTA hosted a meeting of regional transit providers to ensure efficient

coordination of services for the Super Bowl. VTA schedulers are now putting together transit

plans based on our first year of stadium service experience, taking into account the additional

Super Bowl 50 specific requirements.

Stadium Events

Since our last meeting, Levi’s Stadium has held many events including four major concerts, an

international soccer game, an All Star football game as well as two NFL preseason games (one

on a Thursday evening), and its first ever Monday Night Football game, between the San

8

of 2

Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings. The Thursday and Monday night events presented

unique challenges due to providing our regular service and finding ways to provide the level of

event specific service needed. In both cases, VTA staff rose to the occasion and provided

excellent service. Over 10,000 Monday Night Football fans, for example, attended the game

using VTA bus and light rail services and almost all of them were on their way home within an

hour of game ending time.

Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15 – October 15, 2015 has been designated as Hispanic Heritage Month. During this

month America celebrates the culture and traditions of U.S. residents whose roots trace back to

Spain, Mexico, and other Spanish-speaking nations in Central America, South America, and the

Caribbean. VTA is hosting a Lunchtime Symposium on Wednesday, September 23 from noon to

1:00 p.m. to promote diversity in our workplace and to recognize the many contributions to

VTA’s success by staff members of Hispanic descent.

Montague Light Rail Station

The Montague Light Rail Station, which had been closed due to construction for over 5

months, reopened on Monday, August 31, 2015. All light rail trains resumed service to

the station according to the published schedule. This station was closed in order to

facilitate construction of the new Milpitas BART station, located adjacent to the

Montague station. Part of the construction activities included building a pedestrian

overcrossing that links the two stations for ease of transfer. During construction, a shuttle

operated between the Great Mall Transit Center and the Montague Station to assist VTA

riders who typically use the Montague Station.

GLOSSARY

AVERAGE FARE PER BOARDING – This measure is calculated by dividing the total fare revenue (cash, passes, tokens, and Eco Pass) by total boarding riders. It measures the rider contribution towards the farebox recovery ratio. AVERAGE WEEKDAY BOARDINGS – The average number of persons who board the transit system on a day that normal weekday revenue service is provided. BOARDINGS PER REVENUE HOUR – This is a productivity measure comparing the number of boardings to the number of revenue hours operated. It measures service utilization per unit of service operated. The Revenue hours is the time when a vehicle is available to the general public to carry passengers. This will include layover but exclude deadheads. BRT (BUS RAPID TRANSIT) ROUTES – The BRT route is a multi-component transit improvement that includes preferential treatment at traffic signals to improve bus operating speed and on-time performance. It operates in mixed traffic and relies on priority for buses at traffic signals to provide much of its time advantage over conventional buses. COMMUNITY BUS ROUTES – Community Bus service is characterized by weekday frequencies of 30 minutes or more in both the peak and midday periods. Service span is 14 hours or less, usually 12 hours for weekdays. Community Bus services operate seven days per week or less. These routes are defined as neighborhood-based circulator and feeder routes that travel within a limited area .They may be distinguished from Core and Local service by a unique and smaller vehicle. CORE ROUTES – Core network routes are defined as bus routes or shared corridors that feature weekday frequencies of 15 minutes or less during the peak and midday periods and/or service spans of 18 hours or more. Core routes operate seven days per week. They typically travel on long distance corridors, which connect major trip generators such as universities, regional shopping malls and high-density housing and employment sites. Multiple core routes will sometimes operate on the same corridor where demand warrants, providing additional service frequency and transfer opportunities. Core network corridors are typically large arterial streets and intersect with freeways and expressways. DEADHEAD: Time during movement of a transit vehicle without passengers aboard, typically from the operating division to the start of the route. EXPRESS & LIMITED SERVICE ROUTES – Express routes generally operate during peak periods and are primarily commuter oriented. Midday, evening, and weekend service may be offered on regional express lines. Express routes emphasize direct service, use freeways and expressways to reduce travel time, and make few stops. Limited Service routes are characterized by limited stops. FEEDER ROUTES – Feeder routes are short-length lines, usually less than 10 miles in length, that provide feeder or distribution service to and from major stops, transit centers, activity centers or rail stations. This classification of service includes neighborhood lines, which link residential areas to rail stations, activity centers, and/or transit centers; and shuttle lines, which serve industrial areas from nearby rail stations or transit centers.

9.a

LAYOVER: Break the driver or the vehicle is given at the end of a trip before it starts operating its reverse route, or if the route is circular, before beginning its next trip LIMITED STOP ROUTES – Limited-stop service generally operates during peak periods and is primarily commuter oriented. Midday, evening, and weekend service may be offered on limited-stop lines. Limited-stop routes use major arterials, freeways, and/or expressways; and make fewer stops than grid routes, but more stops than express routes. LOCAL ROUTES – Local network routes are defined as bus routes or corridors that feature weekday frequencies of thirty minutes or more during the peak and midday periods and/or service spans less than 18 hours. Local Network routes operate seven days per week or less. They typically travel on medium distance corridors, serving minor trip generators such as schools, hospitals and medium-density housing and employment. They also provide feeder service to the core network or to rail stations and transit centers. MILES BETWEEN CHARGEABLE ACCIDENTS – Safety measure that captures the number of total scheduled miles traveled between each occurrence of a preventable accident. A preventable accident is defined as accidents in which the transit driver is normally deemed responsible or partly responsible for the occurrence of the accident. MILES BETWEEN MECHANICAL SERVICE LOSS – Service quality measure capturing the number of total scheduled miles traveled between each mechanical breakdown that result in a loss of service to the public. SPECIAL SERVICE ROUTES – Special services routes only operate on certain days of the week or on a seasonal basis to address a specific service need. NATIONAL TRANSIT DATABASE (NTD) – The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) primary national database for statistics on the transit industry. Recipients of FTA’s Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307) grants are required by statute to submit data to the NTD. Each year, NTD performance data are used to apportion over $4 billion of FTA funds to transit agencies in urbanized areas (UZAs). Annual NTD reports are submitted to Congress summarizing transit service and safety data. The NTD is the system through which FTA collects uniform data needed by the Secretary of Transportation to administer department programs. The data consist of selected financial and operating data that describe public transportation characteristics. The legislative requirement for the NTD is found in Title 49 U.S.C. 5335(a). ON-TIME PERFORMANCE – A reliability measure capturing the percentage of transit vehicles departing or arriving at a location on time. On-time performance is measured only for specific locations called timepoints for which a schedule is published. A bus transit vehicle is considered “on time” if it departs a location within three minutes before and five minutes after its published scheduled time. A light rail transit vehicle is considered “on time” if it departs a location within one minute before and three minutes after its published scheduled time. At the last timepoint location of a trip, early arrival is considered on-time. PASSENGER CONCERNS PER 100,000 BOARDINGS – A customer service measure that captures the number of passenger complaints/concerns per 100,000 boardings. This measure reports the amount of customer complaints received on the service that is attributed to an operating division.

9.a

PEAK LOAD (Express) - The Express bus standard is 60 percent of the seated vehicle loading capacity. This singular standard is needed due to the special characteristics of Express Bus lines where seat turnover is low. PERCENT SCHEDULED SERVICE OPERATED – This service reliability measure indicates the percent of service hours completed based on published schedule. A service is considered not completed when scheduled service hours are lost due to equipment failure, missed or late pull-outs caused by operator absenteeism, pullouts, accidents/incidents, or natural causes. PERSONAL TIME OFF (PTO) – This is defined as time off for non-scheduled absences such as: sick, industrial injury, FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act.), excused/unexcused leave, union business, and suspensions. REVENUE HOURS: Time when a vehicle is available to the general public to carry passengers. This will include layover but exclude deadhead. STANDARD (Boardings per revenue Hour): This is the average boardings per Revenue Hour and applies to Community Bus, Local, BRT, and Light Rail. The minimum standard is 15 boardings per revenue hour. TOTAL BOARDINGS – The total number of boarding riders using VTA directly operated bus service and light rail service. Riders are counted each time they board a bus or light rail vehicle.

Board Meeting: October 1, 2015

BOARD MEMORANDUM





SUBJECT: Transit Service Changes - October 2015



BACKGROUND:

VTA implements transit service changes on a quarterly basis in January, April, July and October.

Major changes are typically planned for January and July, while minor changes are implemented

in April and October. Proposed “major” service changes must be submitted to the VTA Board of

Directors for review and approval. For Title VI compliance purposes, all “major” service

changes also require that VTA staff perform a Service Equity Analysis.

The following modifications are considered “major” service changes as adopted by the VTA

Board of Directors.

Establishment of a new transit line or service.

Elimination of a transit line or service.

Route change that impacts 25 percent or more of a line’s route miles.

Span of service or frequency changes affecting 25 percent or more of a line’s revenue

vehicle hours.

Series of changes on a single route which are included in the two-year Transit Service

Plan and cumulatively meet any of the above criteria.

Proposed changes that are anticipated to be controversial with a particular community or

interested parties based on public feedback.

System-wide change concurrently affecting five percent or more of the total system

revenue hours.

Service change proposals that do not meet the criteria for ”major” service changes are handled at

the staff level and are still subject to an appropriate level of public and community review and

comment.

DISCUSSION:

The following transit service changes will take effect on Monday, October 12, 2015, and were

approved by the VTA Board of Directors in May 2015 as part of the two year FY16-FY17

Transit Service Plan. The Transit Service Plan also included the required Title VI Service Equity

Analysis. The service changes for October are all considered minor in nature and are mainly to

revise schedules, connections and running times.

Community Bus Line 37 (West Valley College-Capitol LRT Station): Minor schedule

changes will be made.

Community Bus Line 45 (Alum Rock Transit Center-Penitencia Creek Transit Center):

Minor schedule changes will be made.

Community Bus Line 48 (Los Gatos-Winchester Transit Center): On weekdays, afternoon

schedule changes will be made due to a change in school hours at Los Gatos High School.

Community Bus Line 49 (Los Gatos-Winchester Transit Center): On weekdays, afternoon

schedule changes will be made due to a change in school hours at Los Gatos High School.

Line 51 (De Anza College-Moffett Field/Ames Center): Minor schedule changes will be made

Board Meeting: N/A

BOARD MEMORANDUM




FROM: Board Secretary, Elaine Baltao

SUBJECT: Election Process for 2016 Advisory Committee Leadership: Appoint

Nomination Subcommittee


Policy-Related Action: No Government Code Section 84308 Applies: No

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Appoint a nomination subcommittee to identify Committee members interested in serving as the

chairperson or vice chairperson for 2016.

BACKGROUND:

VTA has five advisory committees providing input to the Board of Directors: Bicycle &

Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC); Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC); Committee for

Transit Accessibility (CTA); Policy Advisory Committee (PAC); and Technical Advisory

Committee (TAC).

The bylaws for these committees specify that each committee must elect from its membership a

chairperson and vice chairperson annually. The duties of the chairperson are to preside at all

meetings of the committee and represent the committee before the Board of Directors. In

addition, it is the responsibility of the CAC and PAC chairpersons to provide to the Board at

each of its regular meetings a verbal report on the previous meeting of their respective

committees and any of the committee’s concerns. The duty of the vice chairperson is to perform

the duties of the chairperson when the chairperson is absent. The chairperson and vice

chairperson positions both serve a one-year term coinciding with the calendar year and are

eligible for election to multiple and consecutive terms. For the PAC and TAC, only members,

not alternates, are eligible to serve in these positions.

11

of 3

The bylaws for all advisory committees except PAC specify that the elections for these positions

are held the last meeting of the calendar year (usually December), whenever possible. The PAC

bylaws specify that the elections for that committee are conducted the first meeting of the

calendar year (usually January).

DISCUSSION:

The election process for the chairperson and vice chairperson positions is comprised of three

distinct steps. The first step is the appointing of the nomination subcommittee. The second is

presentation of the nomination subcommittee’s report. The final step is conducting elections to

select the chairperson and vice chairperson. Each of these components is conducted during the

committee meeting.

Appointing the Nomination Subcommittee

The chairperson requests a small number of volunteers to serve on the nomination subcommittee,

typically two or three members. For PAC and TAC, only members, not alternates, are eligible to

serve on the nomination subcommittee. If there are no volunteers or an insufficient number, it is

the chairperson’s prerogative to appoint committee members to serve on it. The bylaws require

that each committee vote to approve the appointment of members to the nomination

subcommittee. This step normally takes place two meetings prior to conducting the elections.

The mission of the nomination subcommittee is to determine members interested in serving as

the chairperson or vice chairperson. This is done by soliciting nominations from members, either

for themselves or other members, and is done at a time other than during the committee meeting.

Additionally, it is the nomination subcommittee’s responsibility to determine that members that

have been nominated are willing to serve.

Report from the Nomination Subcommittee

At the meeting immediately preceding the elections, whenever feasible, the nomination

subcommittee provides a verbal report to the advisory committee identifying committee

members who have confirmed their willingness to serve. In instances where a report cannot be

provided at the targeted committee meeting, the nomination subcommittee’s report is emailed to

the committee prior to the elections. This action establishes the initial list of candidates for the

elections to be held at the next meeting. The nomination subcommittee is automatically

discharged when its report is formally presented to the committee. No action is required of the

committee other than to receive the report.

Election of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson

These elections, which are held at the bylaw-specified meeting whenever possible, are conducted

for the chairperson and vice chairperson positions individually and in sequence. Immediately

preceding the vote, the chairperson will ask whether there are any nominations from the floor,

then close the nomination process to establish the final list of candidates for each position.

11

of 3

For all advisory committees except CTA and PAC, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total

authorized membership is required to elect the chairperson and vice chairperson. CTA requires

the affirmative vote of nine members or a majority of the members present, whichever is greater,

and PAC requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the quorum present.

For PAC, the term for the newly elected chairperson and vice chairperson commences

immediately following completion of the voting for each office. For the other four committees,

the term of office begins January 1 of the calendar year following the scheduled vote.

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no alternatives since the Committee’s bylaws specify that to complete the required

election process, the Committee must first appoint a nomination subcommittee to identify

members interested in serving as the chairperson or vice chairperson.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

BOARD MEMORANDUM




FROM: Director of Planning and Program Development, John Ristow

SUBJECT: Envision Silicon Valley Preliminary Project List



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the List of Projects received from VTA's Call for Projects and direct staff to submit the

complete list to the Metropolitan Transpiration Commission for consideration of inclusion in the

Regional Transportation Plan.

BACKGROUND:

As the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for Santa Clara County, VTA is in the process

of developing the countywide, long-range transportation plan: Envision Silicon Valley. This will

be an update to the Valley Transportation Plan (VTP) 2040 adopted by the VTA Board of

Directors in October 2014. Envision Silicon Valley provides a framework for transportation

investment decisions and a process to develop our vision for transportation in Santa Clara

County - including identifying potential federal, state and regional funding for projects as well as

a potential sales tax in November 2016. The projects contained within Envision Silicon Valley

will also serve as VTA’s input to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The next RTP is

scheduled for adoption by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) in summer 2017.

DISCUSSION:

In May 2015, VTA issued a Call-for-Projects to identify new transportation projects and provide

updated information for projects currently in VTP 2040. The Call-for-Projects was set to

coincide with MTC's schedule for the RTP and was issued to city, town and county governments

in Santa Clara County, as well as other relevant agencies such as Caltrans. Members of the

public were also encouraged to submit applications as part of the call-for-projects.

12

of 4

This memorandum presents the complete list of projects and programs that were submitted to

VTA (Attachment A). Per MTC's requirements, VTA is required to submit this initial list of

projects by October 2015. The preliminary list of projects will also be presented to VTA

Committees in September and four public meetings will be held throughout Santa Clara County.

Over the next several months, VTA will be working through the Envision Silicon Valley process

to evaluate the projects using Board-adopted Goals and Criteria. Through this process we will

determine which of these projects and programs would be best suited for a potential sales tax

measure and which projects would be strong candidates for state, local and regional funding

sources. Throughout this process, staff will be working with our stakeholders, advisory

committees and the public.

Below is a timeline of events for the development of Envision Silicon Valley (subject to change).

August 31, 2015 Call for Projects Due

September 2015 VTA holds Open Houses for Preliminary Project List

October 2015 VTA Board adopts Preliminary Project List

Fall 2015 VTA Evaluates Preliminary Envision Project List

Early 2016 VTA Refines Envision Project List

Summer 2016 VTA Prepares Ballot Measure

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board may choose an alternative list of projects for submittal to MTC.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct financial impact to the approval and submittal of the list of projects to MTC.

However, projects must be included in the RTP in order to receive federal, state, regional and

local discretionary fund programming.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION:

Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC)

The CAC received the item and approved it to move forward to the Board.

Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC)

Committee members were concerned that the list of projects has duplicate projects on it, overall

and within the categories. Committee members expressed concern that projects which appear to

be bicycle and pedestrian related are in different categories. Multiple members were uneasy with

forwarding the list to the Board as it was presented to BPAC because of missing items and

duplicate items.

12

of 4

Dawn Cameron, from County Roads and Airports, mentioned that two County projects are not

on the list but should be added to it.

Member Simons is worried that the projects are not supported by the public and voters.

A member of the public inquired if the preliminary project list will be available on the Envision

Silicon Valley website because he was unable to find it when he looked.

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

Member Batra stated that the deadline for project submittal was before their council meeting.

They received comments from public and their council to add more projects. The additional

proposed project is pedestrian overcrossing connecting Santana Row to Valley Fair Mall. John

Ristow replied that staff will add the project to our list, but we have time till the September 25th

Board of Directors workshop to clean the list.

Member Chiu requested to add Los Atos Hills missing projects; the ones that are already in VTP

list. Ex-Officio Nick Saleh, from Caltrans, mentioned the list is a good size of project list.

Caltrans has some more projects that they would like to add.

Member Batra asked if for pavement projects cities should submit it or should Caltrans. He was

referring to re-pavement of El Camino Real. John Ristow replied that BRT is in the list and has

all components of ECR improvements including re-pavement. But state highway maintenance is

not added to VTP and Caltrans addresses those improvements in the SHOPP fund.

Member Lightbody mentioned the process was unclear and inconsistent about road maintenance.

John Ristow replied that staff added the estimated pavement & non pavement need to the project

list/ the entire amount as a program, which totals approximately $7 billion.

Policy Advisory Committee (PAC)

Committee member discussed the process for Envision and stated there was some confusion to

the process. Staff responded that the ballot measure will be part of the countywide long range

transportation planning effort. The project list is a submittal to the MTC and is preliminary in

nature.

Member Miller asked how the project list be narrowed down from an estimated $50 Billion.

Staff responded the criteria adopted by the Board will be used as well as input from our

stakeholder groups and advisory committees.

Member Wasserman requested that project descriptions be included to give a better sense of the

scale and scope of the projects on the list. He also noted that the proportion of transit

improvements on the list is more than half of the requested projects.

Member Chang questioned the projects related to Express Lanes stating his opposition to those

projects, especially on SR 85. Member Jensen opined that there is a Los Gatos Interchange

project on SR 17 that the City Council did not want to pursue and questioned why that is on the

list. Staff responded that projects came from all sponsors, including Caltrans.

12

of 4

The list moved forward to the Board with two no votes that stated that the project list is accepted

as complete based on revisions from staff, that no one member of the committee endorses a

particular project at this stage, and the committee reserves the right to make additional edits as

the process moves forward.

STANDING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION:

The Congestion Management Program & Planning Committee heard this item at their September

17, 2015 meeting.

Members noted that VTA staff needs to be clear in their communications on Envision and voiced

concern that there may be some confusion between the preliminary project list, the regional

transportation plan and a potential sales tax measure. Members also noted that it is important that

VTA keeps promises with the public from previous measures.

Members also directed staff to ensure that they are working with elected officials on Envision as

they hear regularly from their constituents about transportation issues. It was also recommended

that staff look into “conjoint analysis” and other innovative processes to help with trade-off

discussions.

Members unanimously recommended that the Board approve the list of projects and to submit

the complete list to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for consideration of inclusion

in the Regional Transportation Plan. The committee also directed staff to; (a) distinguish the

process for the regional transportation plan update and the potential sales tax measure; (b) be

innovate in analyzing priorities and consider implementing processes such as “conjoint analysis”

for future trade-off discussions; (c) engage public officials in the determination of priorities; and

(d) bring future Envision Silicon Valley updates to the committee for discussion.

Board Meeting: November 5, 2015

BOARD MEMORANDUM





SUBJECT: One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 - Program Structure



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors approve the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Cycle 2

program structure.

BACKGROUND:

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is scheduled to adopt its "One Bay Area

Grant” Program 2 (OBAG) programming framework and criteria for Federal flexible grant funds

for fiscal years 2018 through 2020 in November 2015. The current OBAG Cycle 2 estimate for

Santa Clara County is approximately $100 million.

Due to the complexity of the program, VTA staff is developing the local OBAG programming

framework with VTA's Advisory Committees and community partners in a three part process:

(1) Program Structure, (2) Guarantee Formulas and (3) Project Selection Criteria. This

memorandum contains VTA staff's proposal for Program Structure. If the Board adopts the

OBAG Cycle 2 program structure proposed in this memorandum, VTA staff will return in

December 2015 with proposals for the guarantee formula and the project selection criteria.

DISCUSSION:

MTC places the following requirements on VTA in developing its local OBAG program

structure.

Eligibility: Project Eligibility: Local road reconstruction and rehabilitation, bicycle,

13

of 4

pedestrian, streetscape, and Safe-Routes-to-School projects that are

eligible for Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Congestion

Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ).

Project Sponsor Eligibility: Cities and counties with General Plan

circulation elements adopted prior to 2010 must adopt resolutions ensuring

compliance with the Complete Streets Act of 2008 by January 1, 2016.

Transportation agency sponsored projects, other than vehicles, are only

eligible if located in jurisdictions that meet this requirement.

Geographic Limits: At least 70% of the funds must be programmed in Priority Development

Areas (PDAs). PDA-serving projects, as justified by the Congestion

Management Agency (CMA), count towards this requirement, as does

70% of funding used for CMA planning purposes.

Program Structure: MTC expects the CMA project selection process and criteria to be open,

reward jurisdictions which provide housing, and support the growth and

development of PDAs.

Santa Clara County’s OBAG funding is expected to be composed of STP and CMAQ funds. The

proportions thereof are unknown at this time. This funding split creates its own limitations as the

eligibility for each funding program varies.

With that in mind, VTA staff is proposing a program structure similar to what the Board adopted

in 2012 for OBAG Cycle 1. This structure provides guaranteed minimum funding to each

Member Agency, maximum flexibility within that guarantee, and a significant competitive pool

to fund larger projects based on the Board’s adopted criteria. It is also robust enough to handle

changes in funding levels and fund composition. The proposed structure is shown graphically in

Page 1 of Attachment A. For comparison, Page 2 of Attachment A shows the OBAG Cycle 1

program structure from 2012.

PDA Exempt Programs:

County Federal Aid Secondary Programming (FAS): State law requires that each of California's counties be programmed at least the amount of STP

funding that it would have received under the Federal Aid Secondary program prior to the

enactment of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. That

translates to approximately $1.7 million in this OBAG cycle. Those funds are for eligible

projects proposed by County of Santa Clara Roads Department, and are exempt from the

PDA/Non-PDA split.

Vehicle Emissions Reductions Based at Schools (VERBS): VTA staff recommends setting aside the MTC designated amount of $6.9 million in CMAQ to

continue VTA's Safe Routes to School Program. A separate program allows the Board to adopt

specific school-safety-oriented selection criteria for these projects. VTA is allowed to exempt

$6.9 million from the PDA/Non-PDA split for this purpose. VERBS-eligible safe routes to

school projects would still be eligible for additional programming in the Complete Streets

programs described later in this memorandum, but they would be subject to the PDA/Non PDA

splits and compete on Complete Streets criteria.

13

of 4

PDA Focused Programs (70%):

CMA Planning Funds: VTA staff recommends programming $10.0 million for CMA planning and programming over

the four year period of the program. CMA activities are funded through Member Agency (which

are the 15 cities in the County of Santa Clara) fees, Planning Programming & Monitoring funds

from the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and STP Planning funds. VTA

currently receives approximately $1.1 million per year in STP planning funds for this purpose.

Due to statewide STIP shortfalls, VTA has been unable to program PPM funds in the STIP for

2020 and 2021. These years fall within the OBAG 2 period and VTA staff is proposing to

increase STP programming in lieu of raising Member Agency fees to cover the shortfall.

PDA Planning Program: This program funds Member Agency planning activities that support the growth and

development of existing PDAs. Separately from VTA, MTC will be soliciting PDA planning

projects at the regional level. All VTA Member Agencies are eligible for MTC's program;

however VTA staff recommends supplementing the regional program with a local Santa Clara

County Agency-only program. VTA staff recommends a total of $2.0 million for this purpose.

Countywide Competitive Complete Streets Program: This is a competitive program which provides grants to projects in or serving designated PDAs.

It is open to the cities, towns, Santa Clara County and VTA to compete for grants that will fund

pedestrian, bicycle, and signal systems projects designed to support dense development and use

of alternate modes. Criteria for this program will be developed in consultation with VTA's

Member Agencies and community partners, and brought to the VTA Board for discussion and

adoption in subsequent meetings.

Either/Or (Applicant Discretion - 30%)

City Guarantee Program:

Road Rehabilitation Guarantee: VTA staff recommends making the balance of the STP

funds available under the Non-PDA 30% share to the cities and the County for pavement

rehabilitation. While VTA supports and encourages the cities to use these funds within,

or serving the PDAs, it would not be required. Consistent with previous Board-adopted

programs, the first expected use of these funds will be for rehabilitation and

reconstruction of Federal Aid-eligible local roads with a pavement condition index (PCI)

of 70 or less. If a city has no eligible road rehabilitation projects, it may use its funds for

Complete Streets projects and off-road bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Complete Streets Guarantee: If STP funds aren't sufficient to fund the entire 30%

guarantee, VTA staff recommends funding the balance with CMAQ funds under the

guarantee formula to the cities and County for Complete Streets projects such as bicycle

and pedestrian facilities and Safe Routes to School projects.

Guarantee Distribution Formula

The draft formula will be developed in consultation with VTA's Member Agencies and

community partners and be brought to VTA's committees and Board in a future meeting.

13

of 4

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will provide $10 million in STP funding for VTA Congestion Management Agency

activities. These funds will be included in VTA's respective Congestion Management Program

budgets for the future fiscal years 2018 through 2022.

BOARD MEMORANDUM





SUBJECT: Transit Ridership Improvement Program



BACKGROUND:

In the past few years, Santa Clara County’s economy has rebounded strongly and travel demand

has increased. In contrast, transit ridership has remained relatively flat. Over the same time,

corporate shuttles and on-demand services like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar have become more

prevalent. As travel demand has grown and congestion increased, travel speeds for all vehicles

have decreased. This makes transit slower, less attractive as a travel choice and more expensive

for VTA to operate. VTA’s farebox recovery rate (the percentage of the transit operating cost

that is paid by fares) is currently around 14 percent, which is low compared to peer agencies.

Due to the evolving travel market, declining cost-effectiveness and low farebox recovery rate, it

is crucial that VTA reevaluate its transit service and related policies to ensure that a more

appealing, cost-effective and competitive product is being provided. To this end, VTA is

launching the Transit Ridership Improvement Program (TRIP). The TRIP will touch all

elements of VTA’s transit program and may result in changes to transit service, fare policy, the

transit capital program and new planning efforts. Making such changes will require VTA’s

Board of Directors to develop policies and priorities for the design of the next two-year transit

service plan.

DISCUSSION:

Designing transit service requires making tough choices between good intentions. To emphasize

ridership, agencies may reduce geographical coverage. To increase frequency, buses may be

reallocated from other routes. To increase travel speeds, buses may make fewer stops. To

increase farebox recovery rates, fares may need to be adjusted. To improve on-time reliability,

separating transit from automobile traffic may be necessary. Each objective is interconnected

with others and knowing the right balance for achieving the goals of the agency is difficult. To

help with that process, VTA has hired Jarrett Walker and Associates, a well-regarded network

14

of 2

design and transit planning firm, to assist with the TRIP on a two-year contract.

Jarrett Walker and Associates have worked throughout the world advising transportation

agencies about how they can balance transit network design tradeoffs to meet their goals. They

recently assisted with the redesign of the Houston Metro transit network, converting it from a

coverage-oriented network that featured many routes, but few that were frequent, to a ridership-

oriented network built around a fast, frequent core network. The new network doubled the

number of homes and jobs that are connected by transit and Houston is now projecting a 20

percent increase in ridership. They accomplished that redesign without changing the transit

operating cost. Jarrett Walker has extensive experience in California and is a former resident of

Santa Clara County.

Jarrett Walker and Associates has been asked to assist with multiple tasks:

Evaluate VTA’s current projects, plans and studies and assess areas where VTA can

improve or identify any gaps that can be addressed through new efforts.

Analyze VTA’s transit service and identify any changes that will increase ridership

and/or farebox recovery and assist with the development of the next two-year service

plan.

Lead VTA’s Board of Directors through a discussion of policy goals that will inform the

development of the next two-year transit service plan and hold multiple workshops with

municipal partners to better integrate cities in the transit planning process and better

integrate planning for transit into city processes.

Develop a final report and implementation plan documenting improved agency processes

and improved collaboration with municipal partners for increasing transit ridership and

farebox recovery.

Jarrett Walker and Associates are currently working on the first two tasks and plan to begin the

policy conversation with VTA’s Board in late 2015.

Board Meeting: N/A

BOARD MEMORANDUM




FROM: Director of Government Affairs, Jim Lawson

SUBJECT: Transportation Assistance Program (TAP) Update



BACKGROUND:

At the request of People Acting in Community Together (PACT), the Santa Clara Valley

Transportation Authority (VTA) Board of Directors approved the Transit Assistance Program

(TAP) at the August 1, 2013 Board Meeting. At this point the program has been operating for 22

months. The purpose of this memo is to provide an update on the program.

With funding support from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), TAP was

established in August 2013 by agreement between VTA and the County of Santa Clara. TAP

provides discounted VTA monthly transit passes to eligible low-income county residents at or

below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. This equates to a household income of $47,000 for a

family of four. Under the direction of County Social Services passes are distributed through a

network of six local non-profit organizations comprising the Emergency Assistance Network

(EAN). County staff provides coordination between the EAN agencies and between the EAN

agencies and VTA.

Monthly transit passes are sold to qualified individuals for $25.00. This represents a discount of

$45.00 from the regular monthly price of $70.00. The initial program agreement provided for a

total of 24,000 monthly passes to be distributed over a period of 24 months, with an option to

extend the term up to six months. Also, the agreement provided for a total of $400,000 to be

distributed amongst the EAN agencies for program management expenses ($50,000 per calendar

quarter for two years).

EAN agencies participating in TAP include Sacred Heart Community Services, Sunnyvale

Community Services, Salvation Army, St. Joseph’s Family Center, Community Service Agency

of Mountain View, Los Altos, and Los Altos Hills and West Valley Community Services.

Innvision was initially a member but due to their unique needs left the program.

The original plan for the program was for all passes to be distributed using Clipper™ cards. Due

to technical challenges the participants of the program were negatively impacted. Additionally

these technical issues caused an unforeseen need for recurring staff time by VTA, the EANs and

Cubic (the company managing the Clipper™ system), the program transitioned to paper passes

in early 2015. This has reduced the technical challenges that were an impediment to using the

system.

DISCUSSION:

TAP has been well received by the EAN agencies and the individuals they serve. Since the rollout of the program, over 12,000 monthly passes have been distributed to eligible individuals. Pass distribution has increased from 30 in September 2013 to 859 in May 2015. Attachment A quotes some of the users from Sacred Heart Community Services describing the impact this program has on their lives. As stated in a letter (Attachment B) dated May 1, 2015 by Ms. Marie Bernard, Executive Director, Sunnyvale Community Services:

The program has changed lives and proven that low-income residents need and use affordable public transportation.

Since the original term of the TAP program agreement was due to expire, VTA and County

Social Services have recently agreed to extend the agreement through December 2015. VTA

executed this amendment on June 9, 2015. It is expected that a follow-up amendment to further

extend the program will be executed before the end of the year. Sufficient funding remains from

the original program grant to support TAP pass discounts through at least the end of FY 2016.

VTA’s recently approved FY 2016 and FY 2017 Biennial Budget includes appropriation

authority to continue funding EAN agency program management costs at the level of $200,000

per year, and VTA has also recently applied for additional grant funding to support the discount

element of the program into FY 2017 and beyond.

BOARD MEMORANDUM





SUBJECT: Dynamic Transit Service Pilot Program Implementation



BACKGROUND:

VTA is launching a new, innovative, Dynamic Transit Service Pilot program in fall 2015. The

first proposed pilot will provide dynamic and flexible transit service within a predetermined zone

to fill in gaps in the existing transit network and provide first/last mile connectivity. This

innovative pilot will serve as a demonstration project to test the functionality of a dynamic

dispatch and routing software, and to provide proof-of-concept for new dynamic transit service

models.

VTA staff first introduced the Dynamic Transit Pilot Program to the Advisory Committees in

June 2015. In August 2015, staff provided a status update on the development of the pilot

program to the committees and Board of Directors. This month, staff will present final details of

the implementation plan and service design in a PowerPoint presentation to the committees and

Board of Directors.

DISCUSSION:

VTA has identified key implementation steps necessary to launch, operate and evaluate the

Dynamic Transit Pilot Program. The details of the service plan are summarized below:

Proposed Service Area

VTA's travel and market pattern analysis identified “Tasman Zone,” an area roughly bounded by

SR 237, Montague Expressway, Coyote Creek and Guadalupe River as a promising market for

Pilot 1 implementation (see Attachment 1). The proposed service area is approximately 3.3

square miles with significant potential demand due to rail connections, a variety of trip patterns,

and mix of trip generators, which includes high-density housing and major employment centers

such as Cisco, Cadence, Nortech business park and the new Samsung headquarters.

Implementation

The following details of the service design are in still in the process of being finalized and may

be revised prior to implementation:

User experience: VTA has contracted with a software vendor to provide the front and back end

of the service. The service’s entire trip making process will be designed with the customer in

mind, leveraging technology to automate and consolidate trip requests, booking, confirmation,

and payment processes. Riders will use their computer or smartphone for the process, with

telephone operator as backup. The service model will allow for both advance reservation and on-

demand trip requests in order to “batch” riders and provide an optimal window for pick-up times.

Service span: The proposed service span is Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM,

providing short distance trips throughout the Tasman zone.

Fare structure: VTA will test a range of $2-$5 to determine the appropriate fare structure to

implement with flexibility to test various price points throughout the pilot based on changes in

service design or market demand.

Fare payment: The new pilot service will use a cashless, account-based payment system which

will require customers to add a credit or debit card to a user account prior to first-time use.

Payments will be automatically deducted from the account upon each trip ensuring payment is

collected for "no shows." Additionally, VTA is working with the Metropolitan Transportation

Commission (MTC) to configure Clipper as a fare payment option in the future.

As staff continues to finalize the details of the service plan, the following implementation

priorities will be key in designing a successful dynamic transit service:

Ease of use is key for passengers. Dynamic service is attractive because it is flexible

and responsive. Staff will ensure that the dynamic nature of this new service will be easy

for passengers to use.

Distinctive branding. Staff will develop a distinct brand that will communicate the

unique nature of this service.

Track real-time performance metrics. To be iterative, staff will track metrics to be able

to make adjustments and improvements to the service. Staff will be using Key

Performance Indicators (KPIs) and data collected by the software to ensure the service is

optimized to meet ridership goals.

Flexibility and iteration. Every aspect of the service will be monitored and considered

for continual adjustment throughout the pilot including the size and location of the

implementation zone, service model, number and type of vehicles, marketing strategy,

and fare structure.

Partnership Building

VTA will explore strategies to subsidize operating costs and future expansion of the pilot by

pursuing available funding grants and public-private partnership opportunities. Currently, VTA

and the City of Sunnyvale are exploring opportunities to implement “Peery Parks Ride,” a future

17

of 4

phase of the dynamic transit service pilot program. The concept is to apply new service models

in Sunnyvale’s Peery Park, an office development with aggressive trip reduction targets and a

prime candidate for an innovative alternative commute solution.

Evaluation and Expansion of the Pilot Program

Many of the ridership strategies will be tested through the Dynamic Transit Pilot Program, with

an initial period of 6-12 months. Evaluation of the pilot(s) will use key performance metrics such

as effectiveness in increasing ridership, accessing new markets or improving existing markets,

and cost effectiveness measured by fare revenue and cost per hour/mile.

The following is a list of considerations to determine where and how to expand the program:

Expand existing pilot service area to include additional Caltrain and light rail stations,

new BART stations, business parks and/or underserved transit areas in order of most

employment/residential density

Expand to new geographic locations in the County with service gaps

Expand to gain a larger share of the long-distance commute market especially along the

most congested corridors

Next Steps

Service and implementation planning for future pilots may begin after the first pilot has been

implemented, as part of a larger program effort to implement several new dynamic transit service

solutions throughout Santa Clara County.

September 2015: Vehicles ready, software and system testing, operators training, field testing

September-October 2015: VTA Committees and Board of Directors meeting

October 2015: Launch pilot service

ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISCUSSION /RECOMMENDATION:

The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) received this information item at the September 9,

2015 meeting. Members of the Committee inquired about the length of the pilot period and the

ability to request trips in advance. Staff responded that the first pilot will operate for 6-12

months and the advanced reservation feature is an option that will hopefully be available in time

for launch.

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) received this information item at the September 10,

2015 meeting. Members of the Committee made the following comments: 1) inquired about

additional fare for transfers to/from LRT; 2) duration of the pilot; 3) potential pilot along north-

south corridor in Santa Clara region; 4) peak period pricing and hours; and 5) service area

beyond east of Cisco. Staff confirmed that customers will have to pay an additional fare to

transfer to/from LRT to VTA Flex; the pilot will be tested for a minimum of 6-12 months; north-

south connectivity was studied as part of the North Central County Bus Improvement Plan but

may be looked at again through this pilot effort; peak period pricing and hours may be adjusted

during the pilot; and the service area was defined based on the number of vehicles available and

may be expanded later based on demand.

The Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) received this information item at the September 10, 2015

17

of 4

meeting. A Committee Member asked about the frequency of the vehicles coming back to the

same stop and staff responded that vehicles are routed dynamically based on trip requests.

The Transit Planning & Operations Committee (TP&O) received this information item at the

September 16, 2015 meeting. Members of the Committee expressed enthusiasm for the pilot

project and made the following comments: 1) asked how the Flex Stops were located and how

the number of Flex Stops will impact pickup times; 2) asked if first/last mile is the target market,

but also should consider serving the point-to-point travel market, which could be a significant

opportunity; 3) appreciated the comparison information to other Transportation Network

Companies but asked if staff can provide comparison information to other shuttle services such

as MVgo; 4) emphasized the importance of partnering with area employers and developments; 5)

asked if we have expected performance numbers and how we’ll monitor performance and usage;

6) suggested having the vehicle livery incorporate more than just the name “Flex” in order to

inform people what it is and how to use it; 7) asked if the app can use GPS location of the rider’s

device to pre-populate the starting location; 8) asked if the app can also offer suggestions on the

regular VTA service (for requests outside of the Flex service span, for example); 9) expressed

concern over not being able to meet rider requests and rejecting trips; 10) asked if we can

monitor whether how the service impacts ridership on the rest of our network; and 11) asked

when the committee will get a report on the service’s performance following implementation.

Staff provided the following responses: 1) Flex Stops have been placed at major destinations in

the area, and they were placed carefully so that there weren’t too many stops to slow down

service but also enough so that most users will have a 5-minute walk or less to a Flex Stop; 2)

first/last mile connection to the VTA network is the primary market but the Tasman zone offers a

variety of trip types and we will be monitoring usage to learn what types of trips riders are using

the service to make; 3) staff will do a comparison to shuttle services; 4) indeed, partnering with

local employers and developments is very important to the project and we have begun an

extensive marketing effort to engage partners; 5) VTA staff will have access to real-time

performance statistics and will be monitoring against project measures of success; 6) the final

vehicle livery will indeed include more information such as the app to download and the service

website; 7) the Flex app can suggest a nearby Flex Stop based on the user’s current location; 8)

staff is investigating the potential future integration of the app with the rest of the VTA network

but will look into ways the app can refer riders to the VTA network if Flex isn’t able to meet

their needs; 9) while the service may not be able to meet all rider needs due to resource

limitations, staff is already considering ways to increase resources (such as additional vehicles) if

necessary in order to serve the greatest number of rider requests possible; 10) VTA staff will

monitor the service’s impact on VTA’s fixed route ridership; and 11) VTA staff will report back

to the committee after a month and will provide reports thereafter upon the committee’s request.

SUBJECT: Bus Stop Improvement Program



BACKGROUND:

Since 1992, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has maintained a continuous

capital program to make physical improvements at bus stops to ensure Americans with

Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and improve the overall passenger environment since. The

improvements typically include increasing passenger waiting pads, enhancing sidewalk access,

providing additional lighting at bus stops, and repairing bus pavement at heavily-used bus stops.

Accessibility improvements are made to enable wheelchair use at the bus stops and to provide

appropriate access clearances.

At the October 2014 Committee for Transit Accessibility (CTA) meeting, staff provided an

overview of the VTA Bus Stop Improvement Program. The overview included general program

information, the process for selecting bus stop locations to improve, and the implementation plan

for FY 2015. This memorandum is intended to outline the components of the Bus Stop

Improvement Program and the implementation strategy for FY 2016 and FY 2017.

DISCUSSION:

General Program Information

There are over 3,600 VTA bus stops throughout Santa Clara County. The Bus Stop

Improvement Program has completed numerous accessibility projects and has improved more

than 660 of those bus stops, an investment approaching $7 million. During FY 2015, VTA

completed bus stop or access improvements at 18 locations in multiple cities. VTA is also

currently in the process of advertising for construction six additional locations proposed for

improvements with the FY 2015 budget. This work is being funded by Federal Transit

Enhancement grants (80%) and a local VTA contribution (20%). The sites selected for

improvements were based on a comprehensive list that was prioritized with previous CTA input.

19

of 2

VTA staff also reviews private development submittals within Santa Clara County for transit

impacts and improvements. Staff requests that bus stop improvements be conditioned as part of

development when bus stops exist or are planned at these locations. It is estimated that 20-30

bus stops are improved annually as part of private development condition of approvals.

Overall, this work results in a very successful program of providing bus stop accessibility

improvements. Of the more than 3,600 bus stops, more than 90 percent are ADA accessible.

FY 2016 and FY 2017 Implementation

As noted in the attached (Exhibit A) list of bus stops, 24 locations were completed or are in

process of completion using the FY 2015 budget. From the FY 2015 budget, $593,128 of the

total previously approved budget is available for engineering and construction with the balance

of $451,372 anticipated to be approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in the near

future. For FY 2016 and 2017, the VTA Board of Directors approved an additional capital

project budget for the Bus Stop Improvement Program of $962,096. This budget includes an

FTA grant which can be used once FTA provides approval.

For FY 2016 and 2017, the current bus stop improvement priority list will be used to select the

next series of improvement program locations. The work will consist of widening and extending

sidewalks, installing passenger waiting pads, constructing new concrete bus pads and installing

Braille bus stop identifiers at bus stop poles. The cost of each accessibility improvement will

vary depending on the work required at each location. It is estimated that improvements will be

made at 20 bus stops in FY 2017.

The cost of each bus stop improvement varies depending on the work needed at each location.

A typical ADA accessibility improvement at a single bus stop has a construction cost of about

$5,000. A concrete pavement bus pad for one stop has a construction cost of about $30,000.

Additional project costs include design, engineering, environmental and right-of-way clearances,

permitting, and construction administration and inspection.

Project List and Public Input on Locations Needing Improvements

Staff uses a list of identified sites to record and prioritize bus stop improvement needs. The

current list includes approximately 20 sites that have been prioritized based on feedback and

ridership. The stops with the highest priority are those identified from the community and VTA

passengers. The next priority is for stops identified from reports that show high lift or ramp use

by buses. The final group of stops is based on ridership and locations that do not meet ADA

width requirements at the bus stop. The plan is to advance construction of the identified needs

according to the priority included on the bus stop list.

To establish a complete and accurate list, it is important to obtain community input and CTA

feedback. Construction complexity may influence the priority of certain stops. However, staff

encourages CTA members and our passengers to provide information about bus stops that need

accessibility and other improvements.
