PROPOSAL FOR HEETING TRANSIT NEEDS IDENTIFIED
IN THE UNINCORPORATED WOODBRIDGE AREA
Dear Board Members:
As you are aware, under the Transportation Development Act (TDA) before
Local Transportation Funds (LTF) may be allocated for street and road purposes,
It is mandated by the Transportation Development Act that all "reasonable unmet
transit needs" identified in the unincorporated areas must be met by the County.
Early this year, at the Board's direction, hearings were held by the County in
each supervisorial district to determine the transit needs of the outlying
communities. As a result of those hearings the Woodbridge area vocalized a
transportation need and community members submitted a petition signed by local
residents to that effect. (See attached.)
In accordance with the State's mandate relative to "reasonable transit
needs", the San Joaquin County Council of Governments (COG) developed a proposal
for meeting those transit needs identified in the Woodbridge area. As back-
ground, the proposal explained that Woodbridge is situated in the Lodi Planning
area, outside the city limits. In the recent past, transit service was available
from the Community Action Council. It was removed about I� years ago during a
change in the agency's role in the County. The residents still have needs to
travel to Lodi for various reasons. Therefore, it appeared reasonable that the
City of Lodi's Dial -A -Ride service might be explored as a potential alternative
to serving Woodbridge residents. This proposal is only an option for the Board's
consideration.
The responsibility for defining "unmet transit needs" and "reasonable to
meet" rest with the local COG as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency
(RTPA) for the area. While a need may be identified by the COG in an
unincorporated area, the County may not view that need as "reasonable to meet".
If this becomes the case, then the County has two options: first, to develop
an alternative proposal for mcating those "needs" which the County does feel is
11reasonable" or if no reasonable alternative is apparent; second, to appeal to
AUG 3 1 ?982
Board of Supervisors
-2-
the local COC Executive Board recommending they reverse their finding based on
the County's conclusions.
The Council of Governments proposal estimated the papulation for the
Woodbridge area based on the census tract that represents Woodbridge, and
included an estimate of elderly and low income persons. Based on this
Information, the COG projected 2,924 one-way trips or passengers would exist
per year. The proposal included cost figures using the City of Lodi's present
operation format. At present, Lodi reimburses the cab company $3.00 for every
one-way trip carried with a City ticket. This is assumed to be the full cost
to the cab company of providing one trip. Assume the service is available
250 days a year (Monday through Friday for SO weeks) and 12 hours a day (7 a.m.
to 7 p.m.). Although Woodbridge is about 2 miles from central Lodi, the OOG
estimated the coat per trip to the cab company might increase above the
currently reimbursed level. Based on this assumption, they estimated the
following costs would prevail.

$1,023
$9,211
$.35
$3.50

It was also assumed that the City's service with their six new vehicles
has the capacity to fill the need of approximately one trip per hour.
Pursuant to this proposal, a meeting was held with the Avaistant City
Manager of Lodi and verbal communication with the Lodi City Council resulted
In the initiation of direction to explore potential use of the existing Lodi
Dial -A -Ride taxi service by Woodbridge area reaVents.
The Assistant City Hanager contacted the local cab company with whom they
contract for services. The cab company indicated they can provide the service
at a cost of $3.50 to $4.00 per ride which could be determined as a result of
negotiations through the City of Lodi with the cab company.
The City's service operates under the following format. The City prints
cab tickets and distributes those tickets to several key points within the city.
Lodi area residents purchase the tickets. The fare structure is:
elderly .50 - per one-way ride
general 2.00 - per one -fray ride
The cab company turns the tickets into the City bi-weekly and the City
reimburses the cab company $3.00 per ticket. The cab company in turn purchases
their gas and maintenance from the City. The cab company pays for their insurance
out of the $3.00. The Assistant City Manager suggests that the County Aubmit a
proposal to the City Council based on this same plan with the exception that the
County could charge whatever they decwed necessary for a one-way trip, as long
as they did not charge less than the City'n current fare structure. County

tickets would be sold at a location predesignated in Woodbridge (probably the
nutrition site), and would be color coded to easily distinguish them from City
tickets. (Attached is a map of the generally proposed Woodbridge service area).
The County has two funding alternatives for the project. The first option
is to claim LTF funds "off the top" of the County's apportionment. This
alternative results in the County having less money available for streets and
roads. The second option is to request State Transit Assistance (STI) funds
to offset the cost of this activity. This funding source is currently utilised
by the County to fund both the Department of Aging's/Community Council elderly/
handicapped Countywide medical escort and the Public Works Department's South
County Area Transit, a fixed route general ridership service in the Manteca,
Lathrop and French Camp areas. STA funding appears the most viable alternative
for the. 82-83 program. Under this option the County would submit a claim for
STA funds and then pay the City of Lodi through an agreement on a per ride, per
month basis. This would be a demonstration project to determine the level of
sertice necessary to meet the needs of the area. "Expenditures to Meet COG
Identified reasonable Un -Met Transit Needs" is one of the proposed funding
priorities for 82-83 STA funds set forth by the COG in coumittee.
The COG's demograVhics projected 2,924 one-way trips annually. Based on
these estimates and because of the potentially higher cost of serving *_.he %od-
bridge area (projected at $3.50 per trip), it is proposed that if the County
is to provide this service, it should be based on a slightly higher fare
structure than that of the City of Lodi.
Posed Fares
Elderly $1.00 per one-way ride
General $2.50 per one-way ride
The City of Lodi has indicated that most of its ridership is elderly.
Therefore, if it is projected that 10% of the Voodbridge ridership would be
general and 902 elderly, then the cost and revenue breakdown is as follows:
Costs
2,924 riders X $3.50 per one-way trip - $10,234
102 fare -box return
Revenues
292 (102) X $2.50 -
2.632 (902) X $1.00 -
2,924 TOTALS -
$ 730
2,632
$3,362
- $ 1,023
The above projections would result in a fare -box return of $3,362 (332)
e, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - 4 -
August •25, 1982
Since it would cost considerably more for the County to put out. to bid
the contract for a complete transit service, or to expand any of the existing
County services (eg. SCAT b CC/DOA) for the small area of Woodbridge, the COG's
proposal appears the most coat effective option presently available. This
option would require the Count-, to negotiate an agreement with the City of
Lodi for expansion of its Dial -A -Ride service based on Lodi's existing service
and subsequently, to prepare and submit an STA claim to fund the County's
portion of the service. Since it is mandated by the Transportation Development
Act that all '.'reasonable unmet transit needs" identified in the unincorporated
areas be met by the County, therefore, if the Board wants to provide transpor—
tation services to the community of Woodbridge, then,
IT IS RECOMENDED:
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Direct the Department of Public Works to negotiate an agreement
with the City of Lodi for expansion of the City's Dial -A -Ride
service to the Woodbridge area, and
2. Direct the Department of Public Works to prepare an STA claim
based on the terms of a negotiated agreement with the City of
Lodi, and
3. Direct that the Department of Public Works at the conclusion of
negotiations with the City of Lodi present to the Board for its
review and approval, a negotiated agreement and an STA claim for
the proposed expansion of transit services in the Woodbridge area.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Andrew Chesley, Transportation Planner../. �
RE: Woodbridge's Unmet Transportation Need
The COG Executive Board on April 27, 1982 adopted the recommen-
dation of staff and the Transportation Planning Policy Conmit tee
that an unmet transportation need exists is the Woodbridge area.
This finding was arrived at after numerous public hearings a
study of tho area's population, and a test of the reasonableness
of providing transportation service.
Being that Woodbridge is unincorporated. it is the tesponsibLli-
ty of the County of San Joaquin to address this unmet need.
This will have to be done before the County of San Joaquin can
reccive Transportation Development Act finds for road and street
purposes. It is important to note that the responsibility for
providing this service rests with the County and not with the
City of Lodi.
Several options are available to the County for meeting this
need:
1. Provide A new service in the area either by oper-
ating a publicly run transit service. or contract-
ing with a private or non-profit operator.
2. Extending present services, suchas the one pro-
vided by Community Council in a number of unin-
corporated areas, (presently onl.y for elderly
and handicapped).
3. Contracting with the City of Lodi to operate its
dial -a -ride taxi between Woodbridge and Lodi,

Memo
Mr. Murphy
It was felt by COG staff and County staff that the last option
would be the most reasonable ind cost-effective. Therefore,
the Ciunty has contacted the City of Lodi to determine what
contract arrangements might be made.
Funding for this contract is the responsibility of the County
of San Joaquin. The County would prefer that Lodi claim dis-
cretionary State Transit Assistance Funds (available to all
communities) directly from COG in order to avoid "red tape".
While this could be done it is preferrable for all involved to
protect their interests. This would be done by establishing
a contract or written agreement that would have the County pay
the City directly for all transit service provided.
Your suggestion of a trial period is a good one, though I might
suggest something longer then 90 days, It will probably take
that long to make the community aware of the. service and com-
fortable in .its use.
The COG Transportation Planning Policy Committee has taken a
strong stand in favor of minimizing transit expenditures through—
out the County and coordinating transit operations wherever
possible. This appears to be a fine opportunity to implement
these objectives.

Woodbridge/Lodi Service
Woodbridge is situated in the Lodi planning area, outside the
city limits. In the recent past, service was available from the
Community Action Council. It was removed about 1h years ago
during a change in the agency's role in the county. The resi-
dents, however, still have needs to travel to Lodi for various
reasons. The following is a possible alternative that could
serve those needs.
Area population for the census tract that represents Woodbridge,
the number of persons with low-income and the number of elderly
persons are estimated below;
I
Population
4,349
TABLE 18
Census Tract 41.01, 1980
Low-income Persons
635
Elderly (65+)
359
Using the modified ITE demand equation for public transportation
trips as used last year,[(D- 2.94 (elderly) + 4.65 (non -elderly
low-income)] :aqui. it is estimated that 2,924 one-way trips
or passengers d exist per year.
The example of transit service to be used is the City of Lodi
dial -a -ride taxi. At present. Lodi reimburses the cab company
$3.25 for every one-way trip carried with a city ticket. This
is assumed to a the full cost to the cab company of providing
one trip. Assume the service is available 250 days a year
(Monday through Friday for 50 weeks) and 12 hours a day (7 a.m.
to 7 p.m.). The following costa would prevail.
TABLE 19
Estimated Cost Data. Woodbridge Service
System Farebox Net Fare/ Cost/ Trips/

$9,503 $950 $8.553 $.33 $3.25 .975
$10.234 $1.023 $9,211 $.35 $3.50 .975
Although Woodbridge is about two miles from central Lodi, the
cost per trip to the cab company may increase above the currently
reimbursed level. A reimbursement per trip of $3.50 is included
to note the change in costs. It is assumed that the city's
service with their six new vehicles has the capacity to fill the
need of approximately one trip per hour.
