ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH' S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
On August 9, 1977 Council approved a request from the County to institute
a new bus route (Route 7) serving the Castle Park area. At the same time,
an unproductive CVT route (Route 3) will be revised in an attempt to
improve its effectiveness. The target start-up date is October 3, 1977.
Route 7 will operate between the Chula Vista Shopping Center and Castle
Park, via Fourth Avenue. The route will serve a high-transit-potential
area and will operate at 30-minute frequency. Exhibit A illustrates
Route 7.
Route 3 presently has two significant alignment deficiencies: 1) it
terminates at the Chula Vista Community Hospital, which is not a major
transit trip attractor; and 2) it has an out-of-direction loop on Fourth
and Fifth Avenues, which is detrimental to the rider's impression of
directness of service. The revised Route 3 will not operate the Fourth/
Fifth Avenue loop and will use the saved time to extend to Southwestern
College, while continuing to serve the Hospital. It is expected that
these changes will significantly improve Route 3 productivity. At the
same time, however, service to Brentwood Park - which was reinstituted
at special request - will be abandoned; a dramatic decrease in demand
has removed the justifiability of this special service. Exhibit B illus-
trates the revised Route 3.
Increased cost to the City will derive from two sources: 1) increased
mileage from Route 7; and 2) increased mileage in the City from the
revisions to Route 3. The total cost of the changes, to be paid to
Aztec Bus Lines, is estimated to be $31,197 for the last three quarters
of FY 77-78. The County will pay $16,724 from its LTF, after deduction

for estimated revenue credit ($1750). The net cost to the City for Route
7 will be $10,275, after deduction of County payment ($16,724) and total
extimated farebox revenue ($4198). For Route 3 changes the net cost will
be $4695, after farebox revenue ($1980); this cost has already been
figured in payments to Aztec for FY 77-78 and is a shift from County LTF
to City LTF. Based on the LTF claim for FY 77-78, it is expected that
the entire City cost can be paid from the LTF. Exhibit C summarizes the
financial analyses.
