2 ) Consider transit service alternatives
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: All costs for transit services will be borne by the
newly formed transit authority
DESCRIPTION For the last year, the City has been participating
with the Cities of Pleasanton and Livermore ; and Alameda County in the
development of a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement that would facilitate
the provision of local bus service to each respective entity.
The Policy Committee has developed a final draft Transit Authority Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement for City Council review. This Joint Exercise
of Powers Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
The basic features of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) are as
follows :
1 ) The membership of the JEPA would include the County of Alameda , the City
of Dublin , City of Livermore , and the City of Pleasanton.
2 ) The Transit Authority would be governed by seven Board of Directors .
Each City would be permitted to appoint 2 Directors and one alternate .
Alameda County would be permitted to appoint one Director and one alternate .
All Directors must be elected officials from the member jurisdictions , with
the exception of the County ' s alternate member.
3 ) Voting Actions - A majority of 4 votes is required for all items with the
exception of the following: a) adoption or amendment of bylaws ; b)
contracts in excess of one year; c ) designation of the Authority ' s
Treasurer. All of the above items require 5 votes .
4) The City of Livermore will continue to operate its Rideo Bus System and
apply for TDA funds until the Transit Authority assumes Livermore ' s existing
contracts pertaining to Rideo or July, 1987, whichever comes first .
5 ) All member jurisdictions are bound by contracts entered into by the
Transit Authority .
6 ) The Authority has the ability to provide paratransit services .
7) The Transit Authority cannot require a member jurisdiction to contribute
money to the Authority without first getting the approval of the governing
body of that member jurisdiction.
8 ) Transit Service shall reasonably be distributed among the member
jurisdictions in accordance with their respective share of Transportation
Development Act funds . At present , the 1985-86 proposed TDA apportionment
for the City of Dublin is 28 . 85% of the combined apportionments to Dublin
and Pleasanton, and 26 . 2/ of the combined allocations of Dublin, Pleasanton
and the Valley unincorporated area of Alameda County .
9 ) The Transit Authority indemnifies each member jurisdiction.

10) A member jurisdiction may withdraw provided that member jurisdiction
gives one year notice . However , a member jurisdiction would forfeit the
right to claim TDA funds which are necessary to meet the existing
obligations of the Transit Authority.
11 ) The Authority may be dissolved at such time that three members wish to
withdraw from the Authority .
12 ) The addition of any new members to the Authority requires the unanimous
consent of the existing member jurisdictions .
As you may recall , the City Council reviewed various local transit service
alternatives last year. The transit service alternative which the City
Council identified at that time as being preferable was Alternative 4A ( see
attached Alternative 4A or Figure 1 , Alternative in Summary Report ) . This
service level provided one-way service with 30 minute headways during the
peak hours and 60 minute headways at all other times . Since that time , it
was brought to the attention of the Policy Committee that there were
additional Transportation Development Act funds available for transit
service . These additional funds would enable the Transit Authority to
increase the level of service provided to the member jurisdictions . As
indicated in the attached Summary of Service Characteristics and Resource
Requirements , the estimated annual operating expense for the February 1984
proposed system was $678 , 838 . The estimated operating expense for the
February 1985 modified level of service is $1 ,081 ,900. The modified level
of service would provide 2 way 30 minute service during the peak hours and
60 minute headways during all other times . This modified level of service
is identified in Figure 2 as Alternative 2b. There is also a third
alternative service level identified only in the Summary Report as
Alternative 2a . This level of service provides hourly service with
additional residential and employment access .
Councilmember Jeffery , the City Council ' s appointee to the Transit Policy
Committee , will be available to provide the Council with a more indepth
report and answer any questions that the City Council may have with respect
to the JEPA or proposed operating systems .

SUPPLEMENTAL STUDY
Summary Report
f
February 1985

DIGS Associates
This report summarizes three alternatives for implementation of local bus service within
the cities of Dublin and Pleasanton. Among these alternatives is a refined version of the
transit plan initially presented in February 1984 (Alternative 1), and two versions of a
modified alternative presented to the Transit Advisory Committee during January 1985.
The alternatives are referenced as follows:
Alternative I: February 1984 Plan, with minor improvements
"Hourly Service on Main Streets"
Alternative 2a: Modified (January 1985) Plan with same fleet size as Alterna-
tive I
"Hourly Service with Additional Residential and Employment
Access"
Alternative 2b: Modified (January 1985) Plan with expanded fleet
"Improved Commute Service with Additional Residential and
Employment Access"
The route structure for Alternative I is displayed in Figure I. Routes for Alternatives 20
and 2b, shown in Figure 2, are identical to each other; only the service frequencies differ
between these latter two alternatives.
Although operating costs differ among the alternatives, all are affordable within the
limitations of available Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds and projected
farebox revenues. Also, all three alternatives . maintain a service balance between
Pleasanton and Dublin that is consistent with TDA funds generated by the two Cities.
Alternatives 2A and 2B both offer extended bus route coverage relative to the 1984 Plan,
and Alternative 2B further offers increased service during commute periods to attract
local commuters from both communities.
Following is a brief narrative description of each alternative. A comparison of service
characteristics is shown on Table I. Specific destinations served under each alternative
are shown on Table 2.
Alternative I: Hourly Service on Main Streets
This alternative, displayed on Figure I, offers the most basic of those under considera-
tion. It provides hourly service frequencies on each of four routes. Routes primarily
operate on main streets, such as Amador Valley Boulevard and Village Parkway in Dublin,
and Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas in Pleasanton. In Dublin, 30 minute service is
provided in one direction only during commute hours.
The net annual operating cost of Alternative I would be $611,000 for the first full year
of operation, using approximately half of the available annual TDA funds allocated.
However, the low service frequency and distance from residential neighborhoods are
unlikely to attract persons who have a transportation choice, such as commuters or adult
shoppers. Estimated ridership during the first full year of operation is 314,000
passengers.
- I -
P84224-0-4/2
Alternative 2a: Hourly Service with Additional Residential/Employment Access
This alternative, shown on Figure 2, operates generally within the level of resources
proposed in Alternative I; however, the four-route system is expanded to serve additional
residential and employment locations more directly. For example, this route structure
provides access to 92 percent of all Dublin and Pleasanton households, compared to
89 percent (Dublin) and 81 percent (Pleasanton) under Alternative I.
Further, Alternative 2a expands service in Dublin to include rapidly developing sub-
divisions on both sides of Stagecoach Road. Three routes provide extensive access within
Hacienda, Meyer, and Pleasanton Business Parks, and, entirely new service to Valley and
Stanley Business Parks.
The net annual operating cost of Alternative 2a would be $708,000, using 59 percent of
available TDA funds. Although higher ridership may be anticipated, due to additional
Dublin routing, and attraction of shoppers and some workers, the hourly service fre-
quency is generally regarded as too low to attract large numbers of local commuters.
Annual ridership is estimated to be 353,000 in the first full year of service.
Overall, Alternative 2a provides better residential and employment area access than
Alternative I, with only a minor increase in operating cost. It could be expanded to
Alternative 2b simply by increasing service frequencies since the routings are identical.
Alternative 2b: Improved Commute Service with Additional Residential/Em to ment
ccess
This alternative uses the improved route structure of Alternative 2a (see Figure 2) but
describes the service frequencies on all routes to 30 minutes during commute periods.
Hourly service frequencies are maintained during mid-day periods, and on Saturdays as
with other alternatives.
The net annual operating cost of this alternative is approximately $1 million, repre-
senting 84 percent of available TDA funds allocated to the area. An estimated
425,000 passenger boardings may be anticipated during the first full year of operation,
due to the increased attraction to transit of local commuters who live and work within
the two-city area.
Of the three alternatives, Alternative 2b providesthe highest level of transit service
within both Pleasanton and Dublin, with 60 percent more service operated than the
February 1984 plan. Although operating costs would be proportionately higher, the plan
is still affordable using available TDA funds.

tions 99207 (b) and 99289 , to claim, receive and expend Transpor-
tation Development Act (hereinafter "TDA") funds. Member juris-
dictions desire to jointly exercise such powers to provide public
transportation within the service area and to claim and utilize
all forms of regionally-allocated, State, Federal, or other
grants or revenues, including TDA funds, available to member
jurisdictions for such purpose.
2 . Creation of Transit Authority. Upon the effective date
of this agreement, there is hereby created the Transit Authority

levels to the contributing member jurisdiction in proportion to
the additional funding provided. No member jurisdiction shall be
required to contribute any money from its general fund or other
locally-controlled funds to Authority unless first approved by
the governing body of such member jurisdiction..
g. - Formula for TDA Service Allocation. The Authority
shall be the designated claimant within the service area for
State Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 4 . 0 funds.
For purposes of judging that service is reasonably distributed
among member jurisdictions, the allocation of these TDA funds and
related program funds among member jurisdictions shall generally
be in accordance with the following formula:
TDA Allocation = Population of Member Jurisdiction x Total TDA
Total Service Area Population funds
available.
Population for purposes of this formula shall be the most recent
annual population estimates from the State Department of Finance.
h. Method for Calculating Service Levels. TDA funds
shall be presumed to have been allocated in proportion to service
hours within each member jurisdiction. However, when selecting
- 12 -
service levels, the Board may also consider other relevant fac-
tors such as bus miles traveled, fare box revenues received,
ridership, number of stops, average speed, local geography and
d; the impact of regional destination sand percentage of residential
population within one quarter mile of a bus route.
10. Debts and Liabilities. The debts, liabilities, and
obligations of Authority shall not be the debts, liabilities, and
obligations of the member jurisdictions, or any of them except as
provided in Paragraph 15.
11. Insurance. Authority shall maintain insurance coverage
in at least the following amounts and each member jurisdiction
shall be named as an additional primary insured:
PUBLIC LIABILITY
General Bodily Injury - $1, 000, 000 Per Occurrence
General Property Damage - $ 100, 000 Per Occurrence
or
Combined Single Limit on Bodily Injury and Property
Damage Liability - $1, 000, 000
VEHICLE LIABILITY
Bodily Injury - $1, 000, 000 Per Person/$10, 000, 000
Per Occurrence
Property Damage - $ 250, 000 Per Occurrence
or
Combined Single Limit on Bodily Injury and Property Damage
Liability - $10, 000, 000
12 . Indemnification. The Authority shall hold each member
jurisdiction, its elective and appointive Boards, Commissions,
officers, agents, and employees, harmless from any liability for
J damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death,
as well as from claims from property damage which may arise from
Authority' s contractors ' , subcontractors ' , agents ' or employees '
operation under this agreement. Authority agrees to and shall,
defend each member jurisdiction and its elective and appointive
13 -
Boards, Commissions, officers, agents and employees from any
suits or actions at law or equity for damages caused, or alleged
to have been caused, by reason of any of the aforesaid
s
operation's.
13 . Disposition of Money and Property. This paragraph shall
apply to distribution by Authority of its surplus money or ac-
quired property. This paragraph shall not affect sale, transfer,
or other disposition of property or money by Authority in the
ordinary course. of its activities necessary to fulfill the pur-
poses of this agreement.
a. Successor Public Entity. If by law another public
entity has been created or designated to assume responsibility
for providing public transportation services within all or sub-
stantially all of the service area of Authority, the surplus mon-
ey and acquired property of Authority may be transferred to such
public entity upon its assumption of all (monetary) liabilities
of Authority, and Authority shall thereafter terminate.
b. Withdrawal of Member Jurisdiction. Upon withdrawal
of one or more member jurisdictions as provided in paragraph 14 ,
the acquired property and surplus money of Authority shall be
distributed to the withdrawing jurisdictions in proportion to the
aggregate of that member's contributions to Authority and TDA
funds claimed by Authority on behalf of such member jurisdiction.
To facilitate such distribution, property may be distributed in
kind or reduced to cash by sale. Any distribution of cash, in-
cluding surplus moneys, to a member jurisdiction in excess of its
actual contributions to Authority shall be first approved by the
14 -
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) . If member juris-
dictions cannot agree upon the valuation of acquired property or
upon their distributive shares, the disagreement shall be re-
ferred to a panel of three referees for decision. One referee
shall be appointed by the member disputing the valuation or dis-
position. One referee shall be appointed by the members support-
ing the valuation or distribution. One referee shall be ap-
pointed by the two referees first appointed.
14 . Term of Agreement. This agreement shall become effec-
tive on 1985 and shall remain in full force and ef-
fect_so long as there are two or more member jurisdictions.
15. Termination. Except as provided in paragraph 12a (for ,
Successor Public Entity) , termination of this agreement shall be
effected only as follows:
a. Individual Member Withdrawal . A member- jurisdic-
tion may terminate its participation in this agreement and Au-
thority at any time, provided that such jurisdiction shall give
one year prior written notice of such termination to Authority
and other member jurisdictions. Notice of termination may be
rescinded upon written notice to Authority any time before the
effective date of termination, provided, however, that the Board
must approve such rescission.
If Authority has, as permitted by paragraph 8a (iii) ,
executed a long-term contract for public transportation services
which includes a commitment to claim and expend public transpor-
tation financial assistance which a terminated member jurisdic-
tion is eligible to claim, the terminated member jurisdiction
shall be bound by such commitment. If equitably required, the
15 -
V
terminated member jurisdiction shall not claim, but instead shall
t. assist Authority to claim, such financial assistance during the
term of such contract. If possible, Authority will cooperate to
�i.
arrange an equitable division of the obligations and benefits of
said contract. A terminated member jurisdiction shall continue
to provide assurances and perform acts as required by paragraph
8a (iii) (b) -of this agreement. During the term of such contract,
Authority shall provide a terminated member jurisdiction public
transportation services within the terminated member' s area on a
fair and equitable basis in proportion to the financial assis-
tance received by Authority which is referable to such terminated
member jurisdiction.
b. Complete Dissolution. Upon termination by all but
one member jurisdiction, the Authority shall be dissolved; pro-
vided that if Authority has, as permitted by paragraph 8a (ii) ,
executed long-term contract for public transportation services
which cannot be canceled or divided and which includes a commit-
ment to claim and expend financial assistance for the period of
such contract, then Authority may not be dissolved during the
term of such contract unless reasonable alternate terms- can be
negotiated with the other party to the long-term contract.
16. Amendment. This agreement may be amended upon he unani-
mous approval of all member jurisdictions. f
17 . New Members. Upon the unanimous consent by resolution
