ESTIMATE OF REVENUE DIVERSION ah es ee es
FROM OTHER ATS ROUTES RESULTING Pe ria SSS
FROM UNRESTRICTED "SHUTTLE" OPERATION i

_ There are 1,701 homes within reasonable walking distance of the
Stadium and 529 homes within walking distance of the Civic Center. 7 Yi ee

Residents of these 2,230 homes are in the low income bracket and

- provide good bus patronage. Moreover, 75% of them transfer to other

lines.

It is estimated that these 2,230 homes produce 2,700 transit rides

per day at an average fare of 32.8¢. It is also estimated that 25% of

2,700 or 675 would take advantage of the 15¢ Shuttle bus fare (without
transfer privileges) if permitted. |
32.8¢ XK 675 = $221 per day diversion of revenue.
ae, Sik. ee
During the middle of the day the "Park-Ride Shuttle" would supplement

the Shopper Special line, splitting the Shoppers headway.

An average of 3,600 15¢ fares per day are collected on the Shoppers

Special, 80% or 2,900 of which are along the proposed "Park-Ride Shuttle"

route.

It is estimated that 1/3 of 2,900 or 967 Shoppers fares would shift
to the "Park-Ride Shuttle".

967 @ 15¢ = $145.00 per day diversion of revenue

Total diversion of Revenue = $221. + $145 = $366. per day or
$94,062. per year.

UNDER PLAN "'B" (Local Participation):
15,424/21,017 hrs. X 94,062 = $69,030
