PROPOSAL A new shuttle bus service is 'proposed for the Terra Linda area that will provide weekday lunch hour transportation to a potential market of over 5,000 employees that wish to shop, run errands, or eat lunch at the Northgate Mall during the noon hours. The proposed service would commence operation on December 1, 1987, and operate Monday through Friday between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. with two shuttle buses traversing the route on 15 -minute service frequencies. Service would be provided to the following major employers in the Terra Linda area: Marin County Civic Center Fireman's Fund (Civic Center Drive) Industrial Park Area (Mitchell Avenue) Fireman's Fund (Lucas Green) Kaiser Hospital Schedule Please refer to the attached schedule for a detailed explanation of the proposed service frequencies and employment sites that would be served. Convenient shuttle bus stops would be located at either end of the Northgate Mall adjacent to Sears and the Emporium. The new shuttle bus service would be provided by an existing contractor, Lake County Transit, Inc., that currently operates a shuttle bus service in the East San Rafael area known as SMART. The Marin County Transit District would serve as the fiscal and administrative agent and accordingly supervise the provision of service by the contractor. Existing vehicles currently used in East San Rafael during commute hours would be dedicated to providing Terra Linda shuttle service during the mid-day, thereby resulting in significant cost reductions as compared to a service that utilized fully dedicated vehicles. Examples of such savings include: insurance costs, vehicle depreciation, maintenance, and operations base expenses. Costs The estimated annual expense for the service is $38,375.00 which includes: operating costs, marketing expense, and bus stop signage costs. A detailed explanation of the funding package required to offset these expenses follows under III. II. REASONS FOR CORPORATE SUPPORT A. Provides an opportunity for employers to be good corporate citizens and contribute toward easing traffic congestion. -1- B. A plus for employees - the shuttle will allow employees and residents to have easy access to all parts of the Northgate area at lunch times without using a private car. C. Provides an opportunity for employees to rideshare in vanpools or carpools as a way of commuting to work because of the access to stores, banks, and restaurants at lunch time. D. Frees up parking spaces at corporate and shopping areas. E. Provides twelve round -trips per day, or a total of approximately 2,400 bus trips throughout the contract period (36 passenger buses). III. FUNDING Contributions are based on the number of employees or residents at each facility and are estimated at $5.00 per person. The contributions may be made at one time, in a lump sum, or could be made monthly. No. of Contribution Monthly Contribution to Company Employees for 12 mos.
