Mr. Richard Ambrose With my good wishes.
City Manager
City of Dublin Sincerely,
P. o. Box 2340 MIN
Dublin, CA 94568 Q�/ /
Dear Richard: Vi
At a special meeting held on May 24, 1990, LAVTA's Board of General Manager aJ
Directors approved a motion requesting that the City Councils of V5:br '�' '
Dublin and Livermore be asked to contribute $1,500 and $6,000 C:780
respectively for Dial-A-Ride service based upon use of the
service in each City. The total amount of $7,500 would help cc: Councilmember Linda Jeffery
LAVTA conform to MTC and PUC requirements. The alternative to
Councilmember Peter Snyder
City contributions would be a fare increase (an alternative "'? Y"y
rejected by the Board as being prohibitive to the riders) or a ;;�,;>
reduction of service. Contributions from the Cities of over )
$7,500 would translate to more service available during the next ' .
year.
The Livermore/Amador Valley Transit services provides
Dial-A-Ride Paratransit service to Elderly and Handicapped
persons residing in the Cities of Dublin and Livermore. The
funding for this service to LAVTA consists of the State of
California Transportation Development Act Article 4.5 funds, and
fares paid by the passengers.
Under the provisions of the Public Utility Code 99268.5 and
Metropolitan Transportation Commission's Resolution 1209, it is
required that LAVTA's Dial-A-Ride Paratransit service recover a
minimum of ten percent (10%) of operating costs through fares
paid by the users and/or through city contributions.
LAVTA faces an estimated shortfall of $27,500 for this service
during FY 1990-91. Twenty thousand dollars will be made up by
funds allocated to fixed route, but LAVTA still needs $7,500
from a local source (users or city contribution) .
If LAVTA does not meet the ten percent (10%) Farebox
requirements, future year TDA Article 4.5 Paratransit funds
would be reduced and LAVTA would be forced to reduce iA
the following year.
Currently the service distribution is roughly twenty
(20%) Dublin and eighty percent (80%) Livermore respeTHE E
senior and handicapped residents. WAY
