5. As a cost savings measure, the Advisory Board recommends that the LINKS Rider and Employer Survey be conducted once every two years as opposed to annually. Additionally, the Advisory Board recommends that questions to be incorporated in upcoming surveys shall address topics including alternative LINKS routes, the expansion of service hours, and the number of BID-area employees that ride the LINKS. Prior surveys have determined that approximately 70% of LINKS riders are from assessed-businesses within the BID boundaries. It is recommended that a continued objective of future surveys be to ascertain the approximate number of LINKS riders who are employed at BID area businesses. 6. The Executive Director shall continue to seek partnerships with community service providers and other entities in the community to provide transportation services to these entities to generate a potential revenue source for operation of the LINKS program. For Fiscal Year 2007-08, it is anticipated that the BID will generate approximately $141,000, or 35%, of the total operating budget for the shuttle. The remaining operating funds will come from the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency and revenue generated as a result of the agreement to provide transportation to the Boys and Girls Club.
