LIVERMORE AMADc,., VALLEY TRANSIT AUTHORITY- SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN According to the auditor, there are too many objectives, standards, and measures which can not be quantified. The study team reviewed the list with LAVTA staff. Chapter 2 presents a revised list which has been separated into 2 distinct groups: those goals, objectives, and standards which are directly related to performance, and those which are more closely related to service design and policy. All of the goals related to performance contain measures and standards which can be monitored on a regular basis. The chapter also presents relevant goals, objectives, and standards for the proposed DART service. Chapter 3: Service Plan The service plan focuses primarily on the route restructuring that is necessary to prepare for both the new BART station and the new LAVTA Transit Center, Route restructuring in Livermore is minimal with most of the changes related to Route 12, which now connects the Transit Center with Las Positas College and BART. The operating hours on Route 12 have been extended to 9:30 PM in order to provide evening service to students at Las Positas College. Route 17 has been eliminated and replaced with an extension of Route 15, thus providing the Lawrence Livermore Lab Visitor's Center and the East Vasco Industrial Area with all-day service. The restructuring in Pleasanton/Dublin was more extensive. This area has historically suffered from poor midday fixed route productivity. Providing an enhanced service during the commute periods which could focus on the BART station required more service hours than could be funded under the proposed financial plan. Therefore, it was necessary to explore different alternatives of delivering service in this area. The study team has recommended replacing all midday fixed route service in this area (excluding Route 10) with a new shuttle service called DART (Direct Access Rapid Transit). This system, which has been used successfully in San Diego, will provide a fast, efficient, and personalized door-to-door service for trips throughout Pleasanton/Dublin. The proposed LAVTA service day would look like this: 6:15 AM - 9:45 AM Livermore and Pleasanton/Dublin Peak period fixed route service 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM "DART' service in Pleasanton/Dublin Off-peak fixed route service in Livermore 2:45 PM - 7:45 PM Livermore and Pleasanton/Dublin Peak period fixed route service 7:45 PM - 12:00 AM Livermore and Pleasanton/Dublin Evening Service (selected routes) NELSONWYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES ES-2 SEPTEMBER, 1995
