ANNUAL REVISION
TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
CITY OF FORT COLLINS
1990
Editorial Note: This annual update is the last in a series over the period 1986-1990.
This update has been preformed in conjunction with a major update
to the City's Transportation Development Program (TDP) 1991-1995.
Very few changes have taken place since the last annual update and
few are expected to occur during the 1990 calendar year.
EXISTING TRANSPORT SERVICE
SUPPLY & DEMAND:
There have been no changes to the general operating system since the last update.
ROUTE ANALYSIS:
Route characteristics are contained in the figures presented in Appendix A.
TRANSIT SERVICE ALTERNATIVES
TRANSFORT SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS/EXPANSION:
The following is an assessment and revision of the original TDP as amended.
Near-term Service Improvements:
No near-term improvements are planned for 1990.
System Expansion:
No action is planned for 1990.
Regional (Intercity) Service:
No action will be taken on intercity bus service during 1990.
Elderly & Disabled Service:
No significant changes are expected in services provided to the elderly or disabled
throughout 1990.
Specialized Transportation Demand:
Demand is not expected to change significantly from original projections.
SRecialized Transportation Supply:
Supply is not expected to change significantly from original projections.
School District Service Coordination:
No action on the part of the City of Fort Collins has been or is expected to be taken in
this area due to the problems associated with federal regulations.
Coordination and Cooperation Between The Systems:
There have been no significant changes in the level of cooperation since the last annual
update.
5-YEAR OPERATIONS PLAN: 1986-1990
Management & Operations Plan:
Staffing:
No additional staff is expected to be required for the operation of the fixed-route bus
system during 1990.
Financial Plan:
The financial plan for Transfort is derived from the recommended 5-year service plan in
the original TDP which emphasized improved productivity of the existing system rather
than system expansion. Below are listed the additional assumptions necessary to prepare
the financial plan for 1990, the last year of this 5-year TDP.
1) One 24 passenger transit coach will be required to keep pace with demand
within the system.
2) One additional radio base station with repeater and new frequency due to
increased transmissions by transit and paratransit operators. Bus radios
will either need to be replaced or re-crystaled.
Fleet needs are determined as follows. The current Transfort fleet consists of nine 1983
Bluebird 30 foot transit coaches, three 1986 Bluebird transit coaches, and two 24
passenger minibuses.
Active fleet (maximum buses in service at the same time) assignments will be as follows:
Route F4uil2ment
1A ONE 30-FOOT COACH
113 ONE 30-FOOT COACH
2 TWO 30-FOOT COACHES
2P ONE 30-FOOT COACH
3 TWO 30-FOOT COACHES
3C ONE 30-FOOT COACH
4 ONE 30-FOOT COACH OR MINIBUS
5 ONE 30-FOOT COACH OR MINIBUS
6 ONE 30-FOOT COACH OR MINIBUS
CSU EVENING SHUTTLE ONE 30-FOOT COACH OR MINIBUS
Elderly/Disabled Services THREE 24-PASSENGER MINIBUSES
Two 30 foot coaches are required (and so indicated) on routes #2 and #3 due to peaks
in demand on inclement weather days. The near term need for twelve buses with an
active fleet of fourteen provides an inadequate number of spares. After the purchase of
one 24 passenger minibus, there would be three spares, giving a spare ratio of 20% for
fixed-route service, a reasonable number to meet maintenance and service needs. The
current spare ratio at the City of Fort Collins is 14% (fixed-route service).
