ITEM TITLE Resolution 8664 Adopting the Updated Transit Development
Program for Chula Vista Transit
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
The City, as a municipal transit operator, is required to maintain a current
five-year Transit Development Program (TDP). In practice, this means that
the TDP must be annually updated to reflect service changes, completed im-
provements, revised estimates, and revised plans. Attached is the 1977 up-
date to the original TDP (Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc.; March 1976)
covering the period from FY 77-78 through FY 81-82.
Section I of the Update establishes service standards and criteria for the
Chula Vista Transit system. Section II summarizes numerous characteristics
of the existing system and presents route-specific efficiency measures.
Section III evaluates the system's performances against the standards in
Section I and highlights significant deficiencies. Section IV presents the
five-year operating program, with emphasis on the ensuing year, summary
of the projects for the subsequent four years, and specific actions to
satisfy the federal Transportation Systems Management Element. Section V
summarizes the five-year financial program based on Section IV plans and
details funding data.
The projected route network and level of service are substantially un-
changed from the original TDP. There are two proposed changes in staging
of the projects: (1) splitting the bus acquisition into two parts (-eight
in FY 79 and eight in FX 81); and (2) introduction of increased service
frequency (30-minute headways) in FX 79 rather than FY 80. These changes
do not appreciably change overall costs, but do change the schedule of
payments.
The financial plan in the original TDP assumed that the City would con-
tribute $30,000 annually from the General Fund, With the present limitations

on LTF claims, this would not be the case, unless the City completely
takes over the system and qualifies as a "new transit operator" which
would exempt it from LTF claim limitations for a five-year period. The
estimated City costs are shown in Table 12.
In order for the TDP Update to become part of the Regional Transportation
Plan and satisfy planning requirements for federal funds, it must be
adopted by the City Council.
