San Leandro LINKS Shuttle Service Alternatives San Leandro Transportation Management Organization Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. | 4-2 Figure 19 San Leandro LINKS Shuttle – Implementation Plan for Service Recommendations Plan developed for implementation of North/South Routes (4 vehicles) Alternative Task Involved Parties Timeframe Identify Funding: The proposed recommendation includes an increase of operational costs of approximately $253,10015. Additional funding will be needed to implement this and subsequent recommendations. Funding may come from a combination of additional funding from the SLTMO, grant funding and contributions from other organizations such as AC Transit. Without proper funding, the subsequent implementation tasks will not be possible.  SLTMO  AC Transit  City of San Leandro Six months prior to operations Investigate Passenger Real-Time Arrival Information: If the LINKS Shuttle is interested in integrating real-time arrival information as part of its service offerings, it should consider investigating vendors at least six months prior to launching of new services. This lead time will allow screening of vendors, equipment installation, testing, and integration of real-time information onto the LINKS website and other media.  SLTMO Six months prior to operations (if pursued) Test and refine routes as necessary with transportation vendor: Although the recommended routes have been driven by consultant and MV Transportation staff, it is recommended they be tested in real time (peak periods) with the transportation vendor to refine running times and to evaluate the route for safe operation.  SLTMO  Transportation Vendor Five months prior to operations Update Vendor Contract: Based on any refinements, the vendor contract must be updated to reflect the new operational requirements and use of additional vehicles. Clauses should be included to provide potential expansion scenarios and future coordination with the Kaiser LINKS Shuttle.  SLTMO  Transportation Vendor Four months prior to operations Bus Stop Assessment: Evaluate existing bus stops and identify stops that require improvements. Decide where new bus stops should be located for new segments of shuttle route. (any assessments related to bus stop amenities would be part of this task).16  SLTMO  AC Transit  City of San Leandro Four months prior to operations Install and Update Bus Stops: Based on assessment, installation and updating of existing bus stops should be completed before operation. Costs associated with bus stop improvements may vary depending on level of street improvement needed and if improvement costs would be shared with AC Transit.  SLTMO  AC Transit  City of San Leandro Two months prior to operations Marketing Campaign: In advance of major service changes, a marketing campaign should be implemented to leverage full use of the new service by tenants. This campaign should work closely with SLTMO employers to ensure all employees are aware and familiar with the new service (any necessary website changes would be included as part of this task). If website changes are planned, this task should begin at least three months prior to website launch to allow for website design and testing.  SLTMO  SLTMO member organizations One month prior to operations Begin Operations  SLTMO - Preliminary 3-Month and 6-Month Evaluation: After service initiation, services should be reviewed at the three and six month marks to quickly identify any potential service problems or minor modifications that should be made.  SLTMO Three and six months after operations begin 100% Ridecheck: While ridership data is currently being collected on a daily basis, a 100% ridecheck should be conducted to understand ridership by trip, time-of-day and by stop. This information will help determine whether service span modifications are necessary.  SLTMO  Transportation Vendor Twelve months after operations begin 15 Operating costs based on cost per service hour of $53.65. 16 Segments on the proposed shuttle route alignments that currently have no bus stop infrastructure include: South Route: (1) Streets along the South Route alignment between Aladdin/Alvarado and Aladdin/Fairway. (2) Streets along the South Route alignment between Farallon\Griffith to Marina\Merced.
