This service provides Chula Vista Transit (CVT) riders with information on CVT schedules and routes and on all other fixed route transit systems in San Diego County. When SCOOT was dissolved on July 1, 1993, the agreement for this telephone information service was changed in FY 1993-94 to be between the City of Chula Vista and SDTC. This amendment for FY 1994-95 continues CVT's participation in this regional service at a cost of $21,541, a 5.6 % decrease from the FY 1993-94 cost of $22,766.

Chula Vistans receive transit information on all systems operating in the County. The service is available seven days a week between the hours of approximately 5:30 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Under the FY 1994-95 agreement, SDTC estimates that the City's share of total system-wide calls of 1,850,000 will be 45,000, or 2.44% oftotal calls, about the same as in FY 1993-94. The average cost per call is about 48c ($21,541 """ 45,000 calls). A total estimated SDTC information system cost for next fiscal year is $882,841, a 5.6% decrease from FY 1993-94.

The cost decrease estimated in FY 1994-95 is due partially to cost savings resulting from the new computerized information system.
