CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: June 3, 1975
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving Agreement with San Diego Transit
Corporation for Provision of Intercity Bus Service
INITIATED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
BACKGROUND:
San Diego Transit Corporation's bus service proposal for fiscal year
1975-76 has been evaluated. The 48~ net cost increase shown in
Exhibit A is the result of a gross cost per mile increase from $1.18
in FY74-75 to $1.64 in FY1975-76 and the addition of an express route.
The proposal changes the "L" route from its present Hilltop Drive
terminating point to a route down Third Avenue to the Chula Vista
City limits. The route will continue down Third Avenue to Main Street
with the County paying for the portion of the route between "L" and
Main. This change shortens the "L" route within the Chula Vista City
limits by .75 miles.
The net cost per mile for route "L" has shown a significant decrease
even in the face of a gross cost per mile increase. This net cost
decrease is attributable to the sharp increase in route "L" ridership.
Route "0" did not enjoy such a ridership increase.
ATTACHED: Resolution [ ~ Ordinance [ ] Agreement [X] Plat [X]
See EXHIBITS [X] No.1-2-3-4
Financial Statement:
The net cost of $140,491 will be financed with $139,710 LTF funds and
$781 City of Chula Vista General Fund.
Commission-Board Recommendation:
N.A.
Department Head Recommendation:
Recommend Council approval of agreement,.
City Manager Recommendation:
Recommend that City Council discuss this matter at the

Dear Mayor;
Attached is our proposal for intercity public transit for
Chula Vista for FY 76. This proposal includes the existing
service on Routes L and O, plus the extension of Route L
through Castle Park to Otay Mesa and the implementation of
the Route 100 Express, both of which are scheduled to start
on September 14, 1975.
These proposals reflect an increase from $94,250 to $139,710
in LTF support. The net cost for Route L is actually
$27,240 less than for FY 75, reflecting a very great increase
in Chula Vista riders. The net cost for Route 0 is $20,402
more than for FY 75. Route O also increased ridership, but
not as dramatically as that indicated on Route L.
The proposal to extend Route L south on 3rd Ave. instead of
turning on J Street and terminating at Hilltop Drive is a
proposal which must have County support as well as yours.
It occurs to us that this change in route would have a very
minimum impact on the Chula Vista residents, while providing
a new mobility for the residents living south of Chula Vista
who wish to work or shop in Chula Vista.
The new Route 100 Express should
load condition of Route O, while
concept for residents presently
travel to and from destinations
Q776%
relieve some of the over-
providing a new express
using their automobiles for
in San Diego.

The Honorable Thomas D. Hamilton -2- May 19, 1975
The present joint transfer arrangement between your Chula Vista
City buses and our service seems to be a very desirable
arrangement which we propose to continue. Keep in mind,
however, that our fare goes up on July 1, 1975. Regular fare
354, Students, 17 years and under, 254, Seniors and Handicapped
154. I see this as posing no problem other than the fact that
anyone using the transfer might be required to pay more when
originating on our service than when originating on your
service. You may want to consider increasing the basic fare
on your local Chula Vista City Line service.
Once again we are faced with the June 30 deadline for filing
signed agreements. I will be available to meet with you,
at your convenience, should you have any questions concerning
the attachments.
Sincerely,
_ ~/
