SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: August 4, 2008 for the Special City Council Meeting of August 12, 2008
TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager through

FROM: Sarah Hellekson, Transit / Solid Waste Manager
Bcrnic Macicj, Transit Coordinator
SU13,IECT: Proposed Service Reduction and Fare Increase for Dial -A -Ride Service
BACKGROUND: Plymouth Dial -A -Ride is a shared ride, curb -to -curb reservation
transit program stared in 1984 and owned and operated by the City of Plymouth. The
City of Plymouth sets the fares and scrvice hours for the Plymouth Dial -A -Ride service.
See the ,.attached Plt'rnowh Dain-: I-Ricle Gcrielc fir more information.
On June 28, 2008, the Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit (PACT) voted to
recommend to the City Council to increase the Dial -A -Ride tare from the current $2.00 to
3.50 per ride per paying, passenger. The members also voted to recommend eliminating
Saturday Dial -A -Ride service. Dial -A -Ride users have addressed these issues through
the March survey (see attached Dhil-rt-Rieke Suriv.v rinults s, Murch 2000) and by
attending the regular March and April PACT meetings during which some users actively
participated in the Dial -A -Ride prograrn discussions.
The Dial -A -Ride fares were last increased in January 2000 from $1.50 to $2.00. At that
time, the senior fare was also increased from $1.00 to $2.00.
PACT will hold a public hearing, on August 27, 2008 to solicit additional comments
regarding this recommendation. The public Bearing; is listed in the legal notices in the
1'/'rinowh ,Scar .Bullar• on July ,1, 2008 and August 7, 2008. The attached Rider ,'Ilerl
dated July 24, 2008 was distributed on the Dial -A -Ride buses, at various locations, on
cable and distributed electronically. As of the writing of this memorandum, staff has not
received comments regarding these proposed changes.
DISCUSSION:
Service Hours: The City of Plymouth has nine Dial -A -Ride buses in the fleet, operating
eight buses during the week, and two buses on Saturday, eight hours each. The cost per
hour to operate a Dial -A -Ride vehicle is $51.08. By eliminating the Saturday service;, it
is a savings of sixteen hours, or $817.223 per Saturday. This would save the Plymouth
Metrolink transit program an estimated $42,500 per year.

The average use on a Saturday is about foilrides. During the two-week period shown
on the attached spreadsheet, Dial-l-Ride Riders Denieel..hllt, 2008, dispatch did not deny
rides on the Saturdays listed. The heaviest demand for Dial -A -Ride; is Tuesday through
Friday, during morning and evening rush hours. Dial -A -Ride ridership did decrease
slightly in 2008 compared to 2007, in part due to eliminated use by local large businesses
for transportation to and from training. (See attached Dial -,f -Rick, Rhlervhif) Statistics
004-2008. )
Fares: Currently it costs approximately `fi 17.00 to provide the services for each
passenger. The rider pays $2.00. The remaining $15.00 is funded by a portion of the
City ol" Plymouth's share ofthe Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET).
Transit is dependent on the MVET. Due to recent economic issues, there are fewer car
purchases. The cars sold are usually smaller, economy cars, so a lower tax is collected.
The 2008 MVET revenue originally projected by the State in 2007 has been less than
expected. The MVET revenue formula is based on the price of cars sold as well its the
number of cars sold. Therefore, less money is directed into transit statewide; and there is
less funding ton- Plymouth Dial -A -Ride.
Performance Measurement: See the attached brat-.4-Ritle Peer Group Anall-sis for a
Comparison of Similar ser\ ices in the metropolitan arca. The current fare lin• Plymouth
Dial -A -Ride service is `ti -2.[1(1 per rick per paying passcthgcr. PACT is proposing a rete of
53.50. For the government-lundcd transit progranhs listed on the first chart, the average
fare is $3.14. The mean fare is 53.00. The median fare is $3.03.
According to the Aforoyxolitan Council Tran portalion Plan, 4171)ent ix A/ Regional
7ransii Slanrlartls {Page M-7 is attached); the primary performance standards to measure
service are subsidy per passenger and passengers per in-service hour. Using these
standards to evaluate the productivity and efficiency of Plymouth Dial -A -Ride services,
Dial -A -Ride should be greater than or equal to three passengers per in-service hour
minimum of two passengers per in-service hour) and 350,10 or below the average subsidy
in the metro area fc5r similar services.
From January to Junc 2008, Plymouth Dial -A -Ride Inas had a range of 3.08 to 3.33
passengers per hour, which is greater than the average set by Metropolitan Council transit
perlionnanec standards. From January to .lune 2008, Dial -A -Ride has had a subsidy
rant ing irom 514.34 to $16.87. The subsidy per passenger is currently $16.87.
However, the fare is below average. See the. attached Died,i-Ritic 2008 c117cl 200-1
Allowhlt, C'osl Summaries for more information.
Costs of Eliminating Service: The current agreement with First Transit to operate Dial -
A -Ride expires December 3, 2009 with an option for a two-year extension. Under this
agreement, the City may terminate the agreement in whole or in part for convenience,
lack of funding, lack of ridership (as measured against Metropolitan Council standards)
and default with thirty days notice.
Page 2 o f 4
Page 2
The master lease, which allows us to receive the transit funding, requires us to transfer
title to the; buses purchased with state funds to the Metropolitan Council. This master
lease expires December 31, 2009 if we indicate we wish it to expire, otherwise, it
continues annually. If this agreement is terminated for any reason, or in part, the vehicles
no longer in use by the City are owned by Metropolitan Council. Therefore, the City
must deliver all vehicles to Metropolitan Council undergood working condition with all
graphics removed and with all records and documentation. The cost to the City would be
an estimated $10,000 to remove the "Plymouth Metrolink'" graphics from the nine Dial-
A-Ridc huses.
The other cost of eliminating the service would be public notice and advertising to riders
in the form of Rider Alerts, Sun Sailor legal notices, advertisements, posters and other
forms of media. The cast of public notice is estimated at $1,000.
13UDCET IMPACT: Just as the increase in fuel cost has caused manv to rethink their
travel needs, the increase in fare from $2.00 to $3.50 may cause some riders to reduce:
their frequency of use of the Dial -A -Ride service. Considering a reduction in passengers.
and an increase in fares, it is estimated that a fare increase heginning October 1, 2008
would create; an additional $75,000 annually in revenue.
The total direct financial cost to the City of Plymouth to eliminate Plymouth Dial-A-Ridc
service is estimated at :S 11,000. The direct financial savings in 2004 are estimated to be
950,000 if' Dial -A -Ride had been eliminated January 1, 2004. This does not include a
savings in administrative costs, as those costs will still he incurred. Administrative costs
are estimated at 535,000 for 2004. if Dial -A -Ride was eliminated, any cost savings
would remain in the Transit Fund. These funds could be utilized to advance the
Plymouth Mctrolink system. The MVET share: for the City of Plymouth will remain the
same and continue to fund the Plymouth Metrolink transit services.
Currently the: cast of diesel fuel is $4.41 per gallon for First Transit (.lune 2008). The
cost per ride to provide the service (S17.00) increases as the cost of fuel increases. An
increase in fare will help the city offset the rising cost of fuel. The contract with First
Transit does not have a ceiling for fuel costs. The city pays above the base price of $1,20
for diesel fuel. finder- the contract, we pay an additional monthly fuel surcharge fir the
additional cost of fuel that month. If the; cost of diesel fuel goes colder $3.10, the City
sets a credit per gallon on the invoice for that monlh.

Transit Performance Standards
The primary performance standards to measure service are Subsidy per Passenger and
Passengers per In -Service I lour. Performance standards are used to evaluate the relative
productivity and efficiency ofthe services provided. To be responsible and dynamic, a
transit system must consistently measure and adjust service in unproductive routes and
address insuflicient service in productive areas. The use of two regional performance
standards provides better insight into the operational and financial performance of individual
routes and services.
Subsidy per Passenger
Subsidy or net cost is the difference between the total cost of providing service: offset by
revenue from passenger fares. Subsidy per passenger represents the net cost divided by the
number of passenge- rs eking the service. This standard identities services that are not
Operating within clliciency ranges and focuses corrective actions for those services. Subsidy
thresholds are detcrimned by calculating the non -weighted subsidy per passenger average
within each service classification pleas fixed percentage deviations from that average.
