OPERATIONAL POLICY FOR LODI DIAL -A -RIDE
INTENT:
-It is the intent of the City of Lodi to provide sub-
sidized low-cost transportation within the Citj of Lodi to
all of its residents. This intent is to be carried out with
a demand -response -shared -ride transportation system. The �.
manner in' which this stated intent is carried out is described
in the, following sections.
SERVICE AREA:
The service area for the Lodi Dial -A --Ride project is
the incorporated limits of the City of Lodi. Rides will not
originate nor terminate outside the City lim;.ts of the City of
Lodi. _
USER POLICIES:
Use of Lodi Dial -A -:tide will be available to all residents ;
of the City of Lodi. However, senior citizens (age 60 and over}
and non -elderly handicapped persons will pay a lesser fee than
the general public. It is anticipated that 200 riders per day
will avail themselves of the Dial -A -Ride service.
1-
CCRTIFIC ATIM PROCEDURE:
Senior Citizens
The Senior Service Agency of San Joaquin County currently
is providing identification cards to persons 60 years of age or
older in Lodi to certify them for the Nutrition Program and for
other services available on the basis of age. For the price of
one dollar, the Agency furnishes senior citizens with an identi-
fication card sealed in plastic which contains a photograph of
the individual, name and address, year of birth, and signature,
as well -as special medical information. This ID card is satis
factory for the Dial -A -Ride eligibility. The 60 year age cri-
teria is based on the fact that many people over age 60 in Lodi
are on fixed incomes and/or have no convenient economical means
of transportation.
A second reason for setting the eligibility age at this -
level is to give the largest number- Of. individuals an opportunity
to use the system. Low incomes and mobility impairments are not
limited to any age group, and it is not uncommon to find persons
in the 60-65 age group who have economic or medical circumstances
more critical than their peers in the 75 -and -over bracket.
Upper-income elderly persons may use the Dial -A -Fide
service, although it is not intended for them. There is no
practical way to prevent this without instituting income
-2-
requirements in the certification proceJx re. Ho:aetier, this
type of ridership is likely to be small and will not have a
substantial impact on project costs.
Handicapped Persons
The Senior Service Agency will also pro -Vide ID cards
for handicapped persons in the same manner as senior citizens
are certified. Criteria for handicapped status is either a Y
doctor's certificate stating that the individual is physically
or.mentally unable to transport themselves, or show proof that
they are receiving social security disability._
TICKET SALES:
The City of Lodi will be responsible for the sale of i
. F
tickets. Convenient points of sale will be provided._ At the
present time,*LOEL"Center, 105 S. washington Street, and the k
Lodi Fire Department Headquarters Station, 210 W.'Elm Street
are sales points. Tickets will be sold to anyone. Senior
citizens or handicapped persons must present a valid tdentifi.-
cation'Card. At each ticket pprchase, the user mustsign for
the number of tickets purchased.
s
TICKET USE:
Dial -A -Ride customers pay for each trip with •a ticket
coupon. The trip is defined a's travel between the point of
pickup and the point of debarkation. If a passenger wishes to

passengers are already familiar with the number, or know how to

will facilitate dispatching of,cabs and reporting bi-weekly u
statistics to the City of Lodi. §.

make a pickup enrou te, i.e., for a prescription. at a'' drugstore,
this will be considered a trip completion unless the stop is
limited to 2 minutes and the vehicle has no more than 1 other
paying passenger. Such exceptions will be at the discretion
of the system dispatcher and the driver. If a'driver is in
doubt about the Eligibility of a customer who pgesents a senior
citizen or handicapped Dial -A -Ride ticket.as fare payment, he `
should ask the customer to show his or her ID card.. All groups
of up to 3 persons- travelling between' the same origin point and -
• destination point, may ride for 1. ticket. This procedure en-
couragez group riding and improves the productivity of the
system.
OPERATING HOURS:
Operating hours. will be 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday
-through Friday_ Users will be required to call in request for
service no later than 6:30 p.m. to receive service.

DISPATCHING:
Dial -A -Ride cabs will be.dispatched in order to achieve
the greatest efficiency in the use of vehicles and not necessar-
t
ke.
ily.on a first come, first served manner. The City Cab Company -
telephone number will continue to be used since most Dial -A -Ride• '
passengers are already familiar with the number, or know how to

will facilitate dispatching of,cabs and reporting bi-weekly u
statistics to the City of Lodi. §.
•.,
• VI:JJ I CLES :
Vehicles used or the D.iai-n-Ride proje, should be in
goon operating order, neat in appearance and clean. The exterior
appearance is important in attracting riders and the cabs should r
be washed at least once per week. The interior condition, like-
wise, is important in providing satisfactory service and, to this
end, the drivers should vacuum each cab at the beginning and in
the midpoint of each shift.
The vehicles are the property of the City of Lodi. To this
end, when vehicles are not being used for Dial -A -Ride, they may `
be used by the City of Lodi.
UTILIZATION aiFyEAICLBS:
The Lodi Dial -A -Ride vehicles will not be available for
regular taxic.ab.service_ The -Dial -A -Ride -'vehicles--will'be a -- -- =-
distinctive color with City of Lodi logo.
All Dial -A -Ride passengers will be expected to share rides
and may not refuse to ride with another passenger. It is to.be
-noted that this feature potentially enables the operator to pro'-
vide
ro-vide trips at a lower cost per passenger by increasing the
productivity of the system. -
INSURANCE: F
The City of Lodi will self -insure itself for liability
coverage. It shall be the contractor's responsibility to insure' .
itself and its employees for primary coverage and name the City
of Lodi as an additional named insured in accordance with
Paragraph 9 of Agreement dated .December 31 19.81
The policy secured by contractor shall be endorsed to show
- 3
it is primary over any other valid or collectible insurance or
self insurance program• •.. F
1,:':EL vi Si
The maximuta t1L«ze for a taxicab to respond to a Dial -A -
Ririe customer's request for service shall be 30 minutes.
This applies to peak demand periods as well as off peak periods.
The response time will be consistent from hour -to -hour through-
out the day, with no one period having excessive response times.
It is extremely important in a shared -ride taxicab system that
the time spent waiting for customers at the pirXup point be
minimized so that passengers already in the cab will not be in-
convenienced. Drivers should wait no longer than 1 to 1-1/2 -
minutes for a customer to appear. '
Inasmuch as the Dial -A -Ride service will'be targeted,
largely at'persons with impaired mobility, delay at pickup
points may be somewhat: -longer ---than usual due to--the--necessity - of assisting passengers into cabs or waiting for them -to enter
or leave without assistance. Dispatcher's sho.d1d use their
discretion in assigning persons with known mobilit-, problems to ••
:-a cab with several other, occupants.
ASAINTENANCE : -
The responsibility for maintaining the vehicles rests
with the City of. Lodi. Sufficient vehicles are available to
assure that periodically, a vehicle may be taken in for service. Y
The City Cab Company will pay for the cost of labor and parts
used for maintenance of these vehicles. Diesel fuel will be
f
made available for the vehicles and the City Cab Company will s
I
be billed for the fuel used, at the City's cost. Company will
F
be responsible for delivering 'the vehicles for maintenance to
the City's maintenance shop at Ham Lane and Kettleman Road, Lodi.
REPORTING APD MONITORING:
Dispatch logs for the Dial -A -Ride service will' be
submitted to the City at the same time cancelled.tichets-are
presented for reimbursement. Drivers' logs will also be
made available for inspection by the City and will be Y.ept
on file for 2 fiscal years.
The City Cab Company will furnish monthly totals of
vehicle miles, vehicle service hours, and fuel consumption.
In addition,. the City Cab Company will prepare a profit -loss
statement. on its overall operation on a quarterly basis. This*
report is to be submitted 30 days after the end of each quarter.
This data will. be used to evaluate the overall effectiveness
• of the program but also to evaluate the reasonableness of the
reimbursement rate.
The purpose: of 'monitoring operations is to ensure the
day-to-day operation'of the project is being conducted smoothly
and efficiently. This monitoring is critical in order to verify
that users are receiving an adequate level of.service and -to
provide operational.guidance in the event problems arise that
threaten to impair the project. Monitoring will take the form
of periodic random surveillance of the vehicles and dispatching
procedures.
The monitoring will include an evaluation of -trip times,
trip length, wait times, passengers per mile driven and passen-
gers carried per hour of service.
