The CAMIIUS system operates at no fare, with service available to members of the general public. As such, the configuation of radial routes is. augmented by a free and convenient _. - inner .loop of bus service with very short hcadways of si.r. to. seven minutes. -_ - -Coordination Of metrcpolitan transit services, in terms of areawide sched•iles, route changes, Promotion, etc., is accomplished through the Transit' Advisory Committee, a committee of theJohnson County Regional Planning Commission. This.. committee includes direct representation of the three transit systems, the Regional planning Commission and Citizens Advisory Committee. There isalso overlapping membership with the Commission's Policy -Advisory -Committee concerning long-range multi -modal transportation planning for the metropolitan -area. Historically, mass transit services have been provided, in the Johnson .since 1920 beginning with street cars, .the electric County area continuously - rvice was pro✓ided trolleys, and then gas -powered buses. Until 1971,.transit se byprivate companies- In 1971,.the City of Iowa City, in response to an announced termination of private transit services by the. Iowa City Coach Company, applied for and received a federal grant from the Urban MassTransportationAdministration to purchase twelve new buses and atransit-maintenancefacility• The City of _ - :,1At_,.,1 1r pnlili.r +-rar;si+ s<•rvice in 1969 The University Of Iowa, lan to reduce dependance on the automobile by members of th as part of its pe. - University community (raculty, staff, and students) established the eighteen- - bus CAMBUS system in January, 1972. - During the last three years, there has been a dramatic rise in areawide transit ridership due to the combination of expanded services by all three transit systems. As noted in Section II of the-TransitDevelopment Program (Appendix 2, attached) Iowa City's peak monthly ridership grew from less than 60,000 in January, 1971, to nearly 160,000 in January, 1974. During the same period, Coralvilie's ridership tripled from 6,000 to nearly 18,000 per month. - - ---The University CAMBUS system carries by far -the -largest passenger `count, `reach ing more than 330,000 in October, 1974. A more complete description of routes and services levels is provided in Exhibit N and Appendix 2. - --- Financially, the metropolitan transit services require a substantial monetary commitment from the three sponsoring agencies.- As noted in the Transit Develop- ment Program, the two municipalities alone subsidize transit services at the rate of approximately six dollars per capita annually.- The University system, with no rider fares, costs more than $250,000 annually, with funds coming from volun- tary student fees and parking revenues. - Detailed information concerning trip purpose, origins, and destinations, -- - is included in Appendix B, as well as in previous submittals to.LZYIA by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. 2. Inter -City Bus Services - - Inter -city service is provided by four carriers: Greyhound Lines.,. Jefferson Lines, Missouri Transit and Continental Trailways. The inter -city bus terminal is located in the central business district, near the terminus of the radial urban transit routes, thus affording reasonably convenient. transfers between the two types of systems. The inter. -city carriers do not protide any service for trips within the metropolitan area. EXHIBIT C: PROJECT JUSTIFICATION - This project will provide many benefits for the urban area. It is felt that the statuatory requirements of benefit are fulfilled in that the informa- tion nforma tion herein clearly demonstrates that the equipment proposed is "necessary for the sound, economic, and desirable development" of the urban area. Three types' of improvements are proposed, and the benefits are. categorized below. - 1. Expanded Service - - This project will provide three additional-busesfor the City of Iowa City. As noted in the Transit DevelopmentProgram(Appendix 2, attached) thesethree buses are programmed to be used for new service to an-areanot now served by mass transit --the Wardway Shopping Center and surrounding residential area --plus additional service to areas where bus overcrowding has become a chronic problem-- the Lakeside neighborhood and Hawkeye Apartments. Benefits to Individual Users: The present conditions of overcrowding on the Lakeside and Hawkeye Apt. Routes result in an unacceptable level of service during peak hours. In addition to the inability to attract more riders during - these times, the current, level of service is a continuing disincentive to persons recently converted from the auto mode to mass transit. The new service to the Wardway vicinity has long been sought by area residents and businesses. This neighborhood is the only significant residential area without any form of mass transit service. Similarly, the Wardway Shopping_ Center is .the only :commer- cial concentration in the urban area not on a transit route. obvi- ously this new service will provide environmental and economic benefit to these users since they will. have greater mobility and reduced- dependance on Lhe auLwrvstille.- - -- Benefits to the Transit- operating Agencies: These improvcmunl:: will have system-wide bent�fibial impact due to - the fact that the increased mobility within the specific areas served will increase transit: ridership on .the connecting routes of the system. In addition, the current passenger overcrowding is somewhat damaging to the equipment, and is likely to reduce ,oper- ational safety to a minor. degree. With additional buses, schedules can be met more reliably, thus improving system-wide reliability. Benefits to the Urban Area: - - Because of the improved level of service to the areas directly served by the three additional buses, various community objectives are also served. It is a documented goal of the agencies within the metro- politan area to develop a truly multi-modal, balanced transportation system. Specifically, an improved transit system and increased ridership will continue to foster sound development patterns, such - as a concentration of employment, shopping and educational functions - - in the central part of the urban area. Secondly, the project will - result in reduced auto travel and its secondary benefits of reduced _. energy consumption, less air pollution, and a reduced demand for more street and auto parking facilities. -2. Replacement of Old and .Obsolete Equipment - This project will provide seventeen replacement buses, suustituting new 45-passenger coaches for the existing fleets of the CAMBUS and Coralville systems. - - - - Benefits to the Individual Users: - - - The present conditions of operating old and obsolete -equipment -_i.n..regular - transit service on the CAMBUS and Coralville systems results in a sicnif- (riutCly low?t-th:uropt:lmum tvirvigr, lw-f for th,+ ::/ t rr.

Thus, during peak periods Benefits to the Transit operating Agencies: The new equipment will have system -wide beneficial impact due fact that the more reliable and, therefore, less expensive, ser to the can be expected from these new buses.

Additionally, - al costs and the storage costs needed, thus reducing the capitrelated to such stand-by equipment* Benefits to the Urban Area: objectives will - - As noted in the previous section, various community be served by the higher level of transit service provided by this new equipment, including the secondary. effects of high transit rider- ship and reduced use of the auto mode- In particular, air pollution will be considerably reduced because the new buses will have "Environ- mental Improvement Packages" to curtail diesel exhaust emissions. 3, Radio Communications vide communications equipment for the new buses in This project will pro coordinate transit operations.

Coralville buses .-will rrcaun The f- ca Ce through. Che- CAMBUS dispatcher. _. ■ - - -- - Transit users of the CA14BUS and Coralvil.le systems will benefit directly from the on -board- communications capability. In addition to the general value of better coordination of`transit services, system reliability as viewed by the user, could be increased. Examples would include instances when mechanical failure of a bus would necessi- tate a replacement vehicle from the garage with a minimal schedule disruption. Minor equipment failures which are frequently tolerated because of difficulty in notifying the dispatcher could be eliminated more regularly by the dispatching of a replacement bus. Although it occurs less frequently than mechanical and scheduling problems, there are occasions when access to radio communication may directly serve transit riders, particularly in cases of sickness or other emergencies when assistance may need to be summoned. Benefits to the CAMBUS and Coralville systems: As noted above, radio communications will facilitate improved mainten- ance of transit vehicles. More reliable reporting of the first signs of malfunctions could alert maintenance personnel before serious and more costly damage would occur. Currently, drivers must fill out equipment reporting cards, detailing the nature of thesuspecteddiffi- culty. Because of the time delay, and the inability to talk directly with the maintenance_ personnel, malfunctions often do not receive - immediate attention. Also, with radio contact, drivers will be able to report adverse roadway conditions at certain locations, perticularly in inclement weather. As a more general benefit to the municipalities, drivers will be able to report other situations related to public - --- far iIIt: Iia moil .Is III" lfnnet inninq Iraffl•? signal vaiv9.ylf xa. �::d •� lk, miscellaneous problems. - --- - - With the particular type of radio equipment programmed, there will be an additional savings in that full-time radio dispatchers will not be needed. The central control panel will have the capability of storing successive calls fromvarious-busesso that _calls .can be answered in the order in which they were received. Benefits to. the Urban Area: Because radio equipment aboard transit buses will generally afford a _.... higher level of transit service, the entire urban .community will benefit from the probable indirect effects of increased transit rider- ship and reduced auto usage. Mother benefit will be the effect of having more radio -equipped public employees moving through the urban area, essentially serving as "quasi public safety personnel" with the ability to alert police and fire departments whenever necessary. ---- Long-term cost savingsare envisioned, since more productive use of employees' time will result from radio communication. Similarly, lower long -tern transit maintenance costs will result in a reduction in the subsidy for transit services. - - - I I -- -- - _ -,- �L uyuipnent to De Replaced Themajorityof the existing bus fleet of the CAN,BUS.system is intended to be sold, with the proceeds to be used _toreduce the net project cost. ;.:_Of the - present fourteen CNIRUS coaches, ten are projected to be sold to the highest bidder, with. the estimated .sale price being $2,000 per vehicle, .thus total proceeds of $20,000. 'Phe remaining four vehicles will continue to be used.. during special peak periods when additional capacity is needed. - The existing bus fleet of the Coralville_system isconsideredto have a negligible value of less than $100 per vehicle. These vehicles were purchased a: few years ago for about $250 each and the remaining value is considered to be much less at this time. The three new buses for the Iowa Citysystem are not replacement vehicles, - but will be used to expandregular service and to eliminate the present practice of temporary leasing of additional buses to meet demand. 2. Financing from Transportation System Revenues- -- - All three components of the areawide transit services have operated at substantial deficits during recent years. As noted in Appendix B, the local subsidy has consistently been at least 40% of operating costs for each of two municipal systems, and the University system operates at no fare, thus a 100% subsidy. Clearly, under these circumstances, there exists no feasible means to finance capital. expenditures from operating revenues. - - Section II and Section.V of the areawide Transit Development Program - (attached as Appendix B) provide greater detail on past transit expenditures, the sources of the local subsidy, and the projected local sources of funds for the next five years. As indicated in these references, local transit costs, though substantial, do not represent a sizable portion of the total operating . budgets of the three agencies operating these transit systems, and therefore the funding of the necessary subsidy is a policy decision based on priorities of the agencies, each of which have firmly indicated an intention to maintain transit services in the metropolitan area. No special fixed tar. levy is depended upon to finance these transit services. 3 Private Financier Due to the fact, as noted above, thattransit --revenues do_not cover oper- to secure private financing - ational costs there exists no feasible means for capital expenditures. As described in Appendix B, local governments have committed general funds to support mass transit services. _.... - EXHIBIT F: PLANNING - - organization. The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission is responsible for trans- - - sortation planning in the county. During the past seven years, the Commission has conducted an active and diversified planning program. The Commission is certified for comprehensive planning as an Areawide Planning Organization by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The recently - organized multi -county East Central Iowa Association of Regional Planning Commissions will be designated as the Apo for the seven -county area. The Regional Planning Commission is composed of representatives from local units -- of government, based on proportion of population, and two-thirds of these - representatives are eLected officials or persons directly responsible to elected officials. The Commission is functionally organized with -a number of committees which are each composed of Commission members, citizen representatives and representatives of other local boards and agencies These committees serve to -- - coordinate transportation planning. As noted in Appendix B, the Area Trans- -- four committees: Policy, Technical, Citizens' portation Study is served by Advisory, and Transit Advisory. See Figure 1 of Appendix B. - - 2 Comprehensive Planning Program The major elements of the county -wide comprehensive_ plan were initiated in 1968 and 1969. During .the firstphaseof the comprehensive planning program three elements (Land Use, Water Resources, Parks and Open Space) were completed by the planning consultant and staff. More recently, the land use planning efforts for the urban portion ofthe-county have -been -intensified through the Area Transportation Study, refining the earlier regional plan as well as those for the aitic; o£ Hwa Cir./ and CtiralvUlsi, h pr;+ Ilminary Lard Use Plan for the metropolitan portion of the.countywas -adopted by the Commission in may of 1973.

The transportation planning effort of. the Regional Planning Commission is closely coordinated with other elements of comprehensive planning in the Johnson County area. All local planning efforts are fully. coordinated with regional studies,andpol.icy representatives are included in both comprehensive planning _._. - processes. -- - 3. Transportation Planning and Programming At the time the Area Transportation Study was initiated in 1969, it was - generally believed that mass transit would not play a significant role in the movement of people throughout the study area. Thus, the Study Design and Procedure Manual (March, 1970) assumed that the future modal split between private vehicles and transit would apportion only a minimal number of trips to -- - transit, and consequently, the needs for street andhighway-improvementswould be virtually unaffected by the transit systema Therefore, no technical mode- split analysis was incorporated into the initial study design. The ATS process has at this point progressed through the generation and assignment of forecasted - -- - 1995 vehicular trips to the existing-plus-committed network. Alternative street and road networks are presently being delineated for testing.

Study (September, 1971) in_order._to analyze transit neede and potentials and to design a new public system.l This study prepared by the Institute of urban and Regional Research-concluded'thatthe Iowa City area - featured a number of attributes which could enhance -the viability of an - extensive transit system in the urban area, in particular (1) the size and distribution of a student population with a relatively low rate of car owner- ship and (2) the substantial degree. of concentrated activity in-theCommercial - Business/Campus central area. The concept of subsidy and nominal user fee (15C) was accepted in the plan. When the new public transit system was initiated -on-September 1, 1971, under the auspices of the City of Iowa City, the ridership levels dramatically sur- passed the previous experience on the privately -operated systema While in 1970, the last full year of private operation, annual ridership had declined to less - than a half million, by 1972 the new system was _carrying one anda-quarter million, annually. In a follow-up study in 1972, the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission determined that over fifty percent of patrons of the new system were "choice" riders, and would otherwise be long-term parkers in. the central areas.2 Beginning in January, 1972, the cityofIowa -City authorized--a.:temporary - expansion of the new transit system by leasing five additional buses to operate during peak hours, (five hours per day), increasing capacity to meet the demand. During this temporary expansion period for the winter months, revenue passengers on the system averaged 5,150 per day. The President of the University of Iowa has generated and approved'a policy statement which established a policy of discouraging the use of the automobile 3 .... -. in and around the campus...... _ 1Kenneth J.

Previously submitted to UMTA. - - 3"Campus and the Car: A Statement of Po11c%":.University of .Iowa, January,1972.,.1 As part of this policy program, the University instituted a campus shuttle bus system with peripheral parking in January, 1972. The University transit system has been very well received, and .has received strong community support as demon-- -.. _strated by increasing patronage. Current ridership is approximately 14,000 per day. A recent study analyzing the characteristics of CAMBUS users, trips, and the system's impact on the University's pedestrian campus policy estimated that approximately 1,400 auto trips to and from or within the campus area were being diverted by CAMBUS daily. _. The City of Coralville initiated bus service to and from Iowa City and with- in Coralville with the establishment of a public system in 1969. Despite the problems associated with operating old equipment, Coralville has been able to increase the level ofservice and the volume of ridership. In. 1973, the Coralville system, operating three buses, was carrying around 800 passengers daily -- a 40% increase over 1972. Further improvements were made in 1974 and annualridership - rose to nearly 180,000, an increase of more than 30% over the previous year. - Beyond the dramatic increase in ridership levels, certain policy changes regarding transportation have been adopted or proposed within the last year.

In 1973, an application was made to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration for assistance in a study to determine the requirements and feasi- bility of an aggressive public transportation component of the area's general transportation system. The long-range aspects of transit planning were considered generally, however primary emphasis was placed on the development of a five-year Transit Development Program which identifies the capital and operating improvements - - to be considered during the short-term.6 - The Transit Development Program has been reviewed -by -the local implementing agencies and adopted by the Transit Advisory Committee and the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission in Decembers 1974. 5.
