ITEM TITLE: Resolution 8542: Approving Pending Transit Service Changes
SUBMITTED BY~ Director of Public Works/City Engineer +.~
ITEM EXPLANATION
In September, 1976, Chula Vista Transit (CVT) service was expanded
from three to five routes and all schedules were revised. The service
changes have had sufficient time to stabilize operationally and now need
refinement. In April, 1977, the routes and schedules will be modified
to improve service and system efficiency. Pending changes include:
o Extension of Route 3 to Rohr;
o Schedule changes to Routes 1, 2, 3 and 4 to improve coordina-
tion with day shift start and end times at Rohr;
o Reduction of Route 5 trip time to enable the present level of
service to be provided with one bus rather than two;
o Use of the extra vehicle and driver (freed by the Route 5 change)
to institute a CBD Shuttle service linking major downtown attrac-
tors.
These changes are expected to produce substantial benefits to existing
CVT system users and to attract new riders. Major benefits include:
o Providing direct service between the residential areas of Route
3 and Rohr, while improving the overall coordination of Route 3

with other CVT and SDTC routes;
o Improved inter- and intra-system transfer coordination and im-
proved compatibility with Rohr shift changes for Routes 1, 2
and 4;
o Decreased travel time on Route 5;
o Introduction of 30-minute service to Southwestern College
(Route 4 and Route 5 combined);
o The CBD Shuttle will: improve downtown circulation; improve
intersystem coordination; and improve intersystem coordination.
The new schedules and routes will be publicized in advance of the changes.
Interim timetables will be available on the buses and at numerous loca-
tions in the City. Final timetables will be printed for widespread dis-
tribution when the schedules are finalized. Copies of the revised route
maps are attached.
The downtown shuttle will have a single fare of 10 cents per ride and
will neither accept nor issue transfers. This fare is intended to
encourage widespread use for downtown circulation.
