San Leandro LINKS Shuttle Service Alternatives <br />San Leandro Transportation Management Organization <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. | 3-5 <br />This report does not make any specific recommendations on these vendors as they may provide <br />different benefits and drawbacks for systems like the LINKS Shuttle. Implementation costs can <br />vary between vendors due to the specific technologies being used and the business models. <br />However, based on our work with previous clients, we have found that costs for implementation <br />typically are based on the following elements: <br /> Number of vehicles <br /> Number of routes <br /> Ongoing “subscription” cost to maintain web/operational infrastructure <br /> Costs of any capital equipment (dynamic signage or similar) <br />Based on a recent estimate, implementation fixed costs for the LINKS Shuttle might be in the <br />range of $2,500 per vehicle plus $2,000 per route. Again, these costs may vary based on the <br />selected LINKS service model. In addition, an ongoing operational fee would be incurred in the <br />range of $50-$100 per month. <br />If real-time passenger information is a priority, it is strongly recommended that route alignment <br />decisions be finalized before moving forward on implementing or installing this type of <br />technology. <br />Figure 18 Web-based Real-Time Arrival Information (Syncromatics) <br />
