FUNDING PRIORITIES AND EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR ARTICLE 4.5 CLAIMANTS
Overview of HandYtrans Operations
HandYtrans is a specialized curb-to-curb transportation service for senior
citizens and handicapped persons. The service is provided within the City of
Chula Vista and portions of adjacent unincorporated areas for qualified
persons who cannot use, or have difficulty using, Chula Vista Transit (CVT),
the fixed route transit system that serves the Chula Vista area. Trip
priority on HandYtrans is given for medical, shopping, and school/work
purposes with secondary priority given to recreation and social trips.
Approximately 60% of the person trips on HandYtrans is on a subscription
basis. The percentage of subscription trips has increased during the past
year due partly to the coordination project with the Association of Retarded
Citizens (ARC) of San Diego's Starlight Center. This coordination project,
which started in March 1982, involves the City of Chula Vista (HandYtrans),
Starlight Center, and the Regional Center for the Developmentally Disabled.
Under this coordination project, HandYtrans uses two Starlight Center vehicles
to transport a minimum of 31 Regional Center clients to and from Starlight
Center on a daily basis, Monday through Friday. The Regional Center
reimburses the City of Chula Vista for the cost of this service which includes
driver's wages, fuel and maintenance costs. Prior to this coordination
project, HandYtrans was serving Starlight Center with all three of its
vehicles on a daily basis in the morning and afternoon. However, when the
coordination project started, HandYtrans began to serve Starlight Center with
two "regular" HandYtrans vehicles in addition to the two Starlight Center
vehicles. Therefore, one HandYtrans vehicle is now available to serve other
qualified HandYtrans clients during normal operating hours. Under this
project, HandYtrans has increased the Regional Center clients transported to
and from Starlight Center from an average of 25 per day to about 46 per day.
These 46 clients include 14 clients from National City who had not received
ser,dce on HandYtrans to Starlight Center prior to the start of this project.
In addition to the coordination project, we have made other efforts during the
past year to increase subscription trips on HandYtrans. Subscriptions on
Sunday have increased, and we have arranged special "charter" service for
groups of clients from retirement homes in Chula Vista for special trip
purposes such as shopping and recreational trips.
Funding Priorities
1. The Article 4.5 program is intended to serve those population groups that
cannot use conventional, fixed route transit services, primarily the
elderly and the handicapped. ~riorities shall be given to claimants
proposin~ such services. TDA Article 4.0 funds are the more appropriate
source ot support for general public services.
It is HandYtrans' policy to serve elderly and handicapped clients who
cannot use or have ~ifficulty using the fixed route services in Chula
Vista, which include CVT and San Diego Transit. Two basic factors
indicate that HandYtrans is fulfilling this objective. First, the number
of non-ambulatory riders on HandYtrans has increased during FY1982-83 to
an average of 13 per day. Secondly, in November 1980, HandYtrans staff
conducted an on-board survey of HandYtrans users. This survey indicated
that the majority of riders had no alternative means of transportation,
and could not use the fixed route transit systems.
2. Priority shall be given to the expansion of accessible door-to-door
services to all communities within the urbanized area, based on fund
availability, prior to the expansion of level of service within the
existing service areas.
HandYtrans proposes no service expansion during FY1983-84. We have made
efforts to improve our productivity in terms of passengers carried per
mile and per hour during the past year, primarily through the
coordination project and by encouraging a greater number of subscription
trips.
3. Priority shall be placed on the provision of services for essential
medical, therapy, ~R~I~ing, and work trips. Services for social and
recreaCiona~ trips be offered as a secondary priority on the basis
of fund availability.
As mentioned earlier, HandYtrans gives priority to clients for medical,
shopping and work/school trips.
4. Article 4.5 funds shall be used to provide local, intra-community
- services, with intercommunity or longer trips being served primarily by
accessible fixed route services.
HandYtrans provides intra-community service. HandYtrans does offer
transfers to fixed route systems, including the San Diego Trolley and San
Diego Transit for intercommunity trips. We have also established
transfer points with two other Dial-a-Ride systems, San Diego Dial-a-Ride
and National City Wheels for certain intercommunity trips that cannot be
taken by clients on fixed route systems.
5. Once the minimum levels of service have been provided, priority shall be
given to those systems providing the most efficient and effective
services.
HandYtrans efficiency and effectiveness have increased during the past
two years due to the coordination project with Starlight Center, our
increase in subscription trips, and our continuing efforts to market the
system to encourage eligible riders.
6. Additional services proposed within areas currently served by another
operator will be considered only on the basis of fund availability and a
c~ear demonstration of unmet need.
This statement is not applicable to the HandYtrans service as proposed in
the FY1983-84 claim.
_ ~_
Evaluation Criteria
1. Does the claimant propose to serve areas where accessible services are
presently not provided?
HandYtrans operates in the service area of CVT, the fixed route transit
system. Since CVT buses are not accessible, HandYtrans provides
comparable, accessible service to the fixed route system within its
service area.
2. Is the service limited to those who are unable to use conventional fixed
route services?
An eligible HandYtrans user must either be unable to use the conventional
fixed route system, CVT or San Diego Transit, or must show that use of
the fixed route system could only be done with difficulty. Therefore,
HandYtrans users are not limited exclusively to those who are unable to
use fixed route systems, but HandYtrans serves some individuals who have
difficulty using the fixed route system.
3. What types of trips are to be served by the claimant? Is priority given
to essential medical, shopping, and work trips?
HandYtrans does give priority to serving medical/rehabilitation,
shopping, and school/work trips. Due to funding cutbacks, Southwestern
College in Chula Vista, stopped its Dial-a-Ride service for disabled
students during Fall 1981. HandYtrans has been carrying many of these
Southwestern students daily.
4. To what extent is the proposed service coordinated with other transit
services within the proposed service area? Are transfers to fixed route
accessible services encouraged whenever possible for the longer
intercommunity trips?
Please see response to No. 4 under Funding Priorities section.
5, What efforts have been made by the claimant to increase efficiency and
effectiveness? Has the potential of integration of taxi cab services for
those riders not requiring lift equipped vehicles been thoroughly
evaluated?
The coordination project with Starlight Center has had a positive impact
on HandYtrans' efficiency and effectiveness. For example, we estimate
that the total passengers carried for FY1982-83 will increase by 25% or
more compared with FY1981-82. We also estimate that, due to this
coordination project, HandYtrans net cost per passenger should decrease
by about 13% and that the fare revenue to operating cost (recovery ratio)
should increase by over 100%, We have investigated the potential of
using taxi cab services for clients not requiring lift equipped
vehicles. However, many of our clients that use HandYtrans, while not
requiring lift equipped vehicles, are quite elderly and frail, and we
-3-
believe require the special attention given them by HandYtrans drivers.
HandYtrans drivers are thoroughly trained regarding the special and
unique needs of many of our clients, who because of their health, require
special care and attention when being transported. It is our opinion
that a taxi cab operation would not provide this same level of service.
6. What percentage of the total tri s carried are group or subscription type
trips (many to one)? What e~orts have been made to increase the
proportion of 9roup trips?
As indicated earlier, before the start of the coordination project,
approximately 50% of the HandYtrans person trips were on a subscription
basis. We estimate that during FY1982-83, this percentage will increase
to about 60% due to: the coordination project; greater number of
subscription trips on Sunday; and our efforts to increase special
"charter" trips for special activities.
7. What percentage of total operating costs are being expended for
adminstration? What efforts have been made to reduce administrative
overneao?
SANDAG has set a target for HandYtrans for administrative cost during
FY1982-83 of 30%. During FY1981-82, about 32% of total operating costs
were expended for administration. Although these administrative costs
are somewhat difficult to quantify, administrative costs included costs
for City of Chula Vista staff time, and administrative costs for the
contract operator which are included as part of the hourly rate. We
estimate that HandYtrans administrative costs during FY1982-83 and
FY1983-84 should be about 28%.
8. What percentage of operating costs are recovered by the farebox?
Before the start of the coordination project, HandYtrans recovery ratio
was about 10.5%. During FY1982-83, we estimate that the recovery ratio
will be about 23%.
9. What other local, State, Federal or private funds in addition to TDA
funds have been committed to the program?
The Regional Center, a State funded agency~ has committed $37,500 to the
Starlight Center Coordination Project during FY1982-83. We estimate that
the cost of this project to Regional Center will be about $41,500 for
FY1983-84. Continuation of this project is contingent upon Regional
Center receiving State funding for FY1983-84. An agreement for the
continuation of this coordination project for FY1983-84 will be
negotiated with Regional Center prior to June 30, 1983.
lO. To what extent is the service coordinated with other social service
agency transportation Drograms within the service area?
In addition to Starlight Center, HandYtrans coordinates service with the
Salvation Army in Chu~a Vista.
