AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for November 17, 20 0, to Consider ResolutionAppro% ng
Transit Fare Structure Updates
MEETING DATE: October 2 0,2 010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for November 17, 2010, to consider resolution
approving transit fare structure updates.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the August 24, 2010 Shirtsleeve Session, staff discussed several
items presented at two City -hosted public information meetings.
One of the items included replacing the fixed route monthly pass
with a 31 -day pass. Another request from Transit riders was to
modify the 10 -day passes. Staff requests City Council approve the recommendations and associated
transit fare structure changes as presented in Exhibit A, based upon the information provided below.
Change Fixed Route General Public Monthly Pass to 31 -Day Pass: By January 2, 2011, new automated
fare boxes will be in place along with new pre-printed tickets. Currently, patrons purchase fixed route
monthly passes that are hole -punched by month and year to validate the pass. The new automated fare
box equipment will be able to print the start date and it will expire 31 days later.
Add Dial-A-RideNineLine (DAR/VL) 10 -Ride Pass Senior/Disabled/Medicare (Outside City Limit):
Currently, there is a surchargefor passengers using DARNL outside the City limits. Staff recommends
incorporating this surcharge into a 10 -ride pass for DARNL Senior/Disabled/Medicare passengersto
make it more convenient for our customers. The new $31 pass includes $16 for the DARN L
Senior/Disabled/Medicare 10 -ride pass plus $15 ($1.50 surcharge multiplied by 10 rides for service
outside the City limits).
Change Fare for Fixed Route 10 -Ride Pass Senior/Disabled/Medicare: On April 7, 2010, City Council
approved a fare reduction from $0.65 to $0.60 to comply with the half -fare federal regulation (Fixed Route
General Public Fare is $1.25); however, the 10 -ride pass was not changed from $6.25 to $6.00. Staff
recommends reducing the Fixed Route 10 -Ride Pass for Senior/Disabled/Medicare to $6.00 ($0.60
multiplied by 10 rides).
Priorto the public hearing, the proposed fare structure will be posted on all buses in English and Spanish
and distributed by the drivers to passengers requesting comments. We will present all comments on the
proposed fare structure update at the public hearing. At the two public information meetings, staff
received positive feedback for the 31 -day pass since it's similar to other transit agencies fare passes.
Notices for the public hearing will be published in the Lodi News -Sentinel and posted at the Lodi Transit
Station, Hutchins Street Square, LOEL Senior Center, and Lodi Public Library.
