in the
ty o di:
I.
Service should be provided under a one-year feasi-
•
bili,ty demonstration program;
2.
Through the' RFP process, a private operator should
`
be contracted with to provide a complete fixed
..route transit syi3tem;
3®
Service should be available to the general public,
.with a reduced fare for senior citizens and 'physi-
cally handicapped persons;
®.
existing dial -a -ride transportation service should
be continued for seniors and physically handi-
capped persons who are unable to use a fixed route
systems
5®
Fixed routing should utilize two vehicles on super-
imposed circular routes, there should be at least
one additional.vehi.cle available for backup in case
of breakdowns;
. f ®,
Fisted routes should be generally confined t'o the
central portion of Lodi where most elderly and low
vail -
income families reside, while DAR would be avail-
able to eligible persons living outside the fixed
able
route service area;
7®-
Fixed route service should be implemented utilizing
maxi -vans or mini -buses, lift equipped®
a
D.
Operational policies should be developed to assist
the City Council in evaluation of the transit sys-
tem's performance. These policies should be
detailed enough to guide a Manager through the daily
decisions required for a smooth operation. They
should not be so inflexible as to prevent a manager
from snaking minor changes to scheduling, routing,
etc. necessary for operational improvement/refine-

ness should be made tit' the enol of the demonstration.
Though final determination is the responsibility of
