HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 19, 1995 (52)� of CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Consider Certifying the City of Lodi's Compliance with the Congestion Management Program (CMP) of San Joaquin County for the Period July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995. MEETING DATE: July 19, 1995 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council consider certifying that the City of Lodi is in conformity with the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) of San Joaquin County. BACKGROUND. INFORMATION: On January 1, 1992, the San Joaquin County Congestion Management Plan (CMP) became operative for all jurisdictions in San Joaquin County. This State mandated program was adopted in an attempt to improve congestion on San Joaquin County's highways and major roads and also to improve air quality in the county. State Law requires a CMP to be created and for local compliance with the CMP to be annually monitored. The program is linked to new gasoline tax revenues which local governments receive under the provisions of Propositions 111 and 108, approved by the voters in June 1990. Failure to comply with CMP requirements can jeopardize the City's share of these new revenues. The San Joaquin County CMP has a self -certification program to determine conformity with the CMP. Annually, each jurisdiction must fill out a check list and certify that they are in compliance. The check list must be accompanied by a Certification Statement adopted by the local jurisdiction's governing board, stating that to the best of its knowledge, the jurisdiction is conforming with the CMP. The Community Development Department has determined the City is in compliance with the CMP and recommends that the City Council consider certifying the City's conformity. FUNDING: None required.

PETERSON recyciea oaoer City Manager J l:G- CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PLAN Self -Certification Checklist Designated CMP System 1. Are there any principal arterial segments that might be considered for addition to the CMP Regional transportation system? If yes, please add to the attached conformance documentation. NO. Level of Service Standards 2. Are all level of service calculations for principal arterial segments for which the jurisdiction is listed as "lead entity" (or which fall primarily within its jurisdiction) included in the attached documentation? YES. See attachedA-1 and Table I 3. Do any of these calculations indicate a LOS below the standard before interregional travel has been removed? NO. 4. Are all facility changes that may affect level of service calculations on the CMP system included in the attached documentation? N/A Transit Standards S. Is all information verifying compliance with routing, frequency and coordination standards included in the attached documentation? YES. The City ofLodi established a fixed route transit system (GrapeLine) which began operation Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1994. The system consists of four routes with an average of 30 bus stops per route that are spaced no more than one quarter ofa mile apart. The frequency a bus passes a stop, is every half hour between the hours of 6.-30 a.m. and 6.•30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from &00 a.m. to 6.•00 p.m. on Saturdays. All four bus routes converge at the downtown post office for transfer convenience. Two SMART buses -lines 20 and 21- also meet at this point roughly everyhour. Both SMART buses takepassengers to downtown Stockton and cities beyond. In addition, the City's proposed multi -modal station will be located approximately one -block from the Post Of ee. Both GrapeLine and Dial -A -Ride are available for use. GrapeLine buses hold]] passengers- In assengersIn the fast 6months of operation, GrapeLine increased to more than 40% capacity. When GrapeLine exceeds 50% capacity additions ofroutes or buses maybe necessary. With careful consideration ofpublic input, the City will be developing refinements to the system to improve quality ofservice. See Attached B-1 and the enclosed Grape Line Riders Guide for an illustration of the 4 bus routes 6. Are there any standards that the jurisdiction is having difficulty complying with or believes that it should not be required to comply with? If so, explain in the attached documentation. NO. The City will attempt to incorporate the standards in all future planning and transit related decisions The newly established bus system will allow the City to meet more ofthe goals ofthe Congestion Management Plan. 7. Have policies for facilities coordination, new/reconstructed streets and long-range transit needs been adopted by the jurisdiction as of June 30, 1995. Will implementation policies proceed according to a regular schedule after that date? YES. The City has established design standards and policies for the provision of bus turnouts on all new or reconstructed streets with existing or future bus routes The standards and policies will be implemented by the Public Works department as new streets are added to the City or existing streets are reconstructed. Land Use Analysis Program 8. Have all land use decisions requiring CMA review been submitted to the CMA as part of the local environmental review process? (e.g. General plan amendments with 1,000 or more additional average daily trips, general plan revisions, cumulative total of all general plan amendments). YES. The City is working with COG an their consultant and has provide all necessary information regarding land use decisions and General Plan Amendments. Since the Congestion Management process has been implemented, the Cityhas not developed anyprojects that exceed the 1000 ADT threshold. 9. Have all significant impacts of the individual 1,000 additional trip general plan revisions been mitigated? Has documentation of the proposed mitigations and their estimated costs been submitted to the CMA? N/A. Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Element 10.

GrapeLine consists of four routes- or lines, 1, 2, 3, & 4 - spaced evenly throughout Lodi. Each line has an average of 30 bus stops carefully positioned along its length. None are greater than a quarter mile apart (see attached map for more information). A bus passes each stop every half hour. All four buses converge at the downtown post office for transferring convenience. Two SMART buses - lines 20 and 21 - also meet at this point roughly every hour. Both SMART buses take passengers to downtown Stockton and cities beyond. GrapeLine buses hold 11 passengers. Transit industry analysis has shown that smaller, more intimate vehicles appeal to passengers and can enhance ridership. They are also very maneuverable. A lift and space is available for two wheelchair passengers. Buses are very comfortable, with seatbelts, full air conditioning, and stereo systems. Ridership has grown steadily in 1995. January was a cold, rainy month. Ridership totaled 5,700 for the month or 228 people per day. May ridership grew to 10,800 or 400 people per day (a 75% increase). Keep in mind, these numbers include passengers tfaveling on Saturdays. Saturdays generally have only 60% of weekday ridership. May ridership was 428 people per weekday. Both GrapeLine and Dial -A -Ride are available for use by any one, any age, disabled or not. However, GrapeLine appears to appeal to a broader spectrum of passenger. No single age group dominates GrapeLine use. Parents with children, young, middle aged and elderly people all use GrapeLine. Many drivers possess School Bus Drivers Certificates (the highest certificate classification in California) and are skilled at handling the very few individuals who act up. Although drivers do not record the sex of passengers, it appears women ride GrapeLine more than men. It is clear GrapeLine contains the potential for bringing a large number of consumer dollars to downtown Lodi. If a GrapeLine bus was at full capacity for each of the 24 trips it makes per day - it could move 264 people. It is unrealistic to expect 100% use of capacity on any bus anywhere. Given that GrapeLine ridership exceeds 40% capacity after only 6 months of operation, it can be considered a very successful operation. Once GrapeLine exceeds 50% capacity, alterations will probably be necessary. With careful consideration of public input, the City will be developing refinements to the system to improve quality of service. Fare - 50 cents. Seniors & disabled - 25 cents.
