    BACKGROUND

    The Consent Decree requires that a Load Factor Reduction Plan be prepared andmade available for public inspection annually at least 90 days prior to the start ofeach fiscal year. The attached document was made available for public inspection atthe MTA Library on April 1, 1997. Copies are being made available at the LosAngeles Public Library, 630 W. 5_ Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071.

    The Load Factor Reduction Plan identifies the Authority's plan to meet the LoadFactor Reduction targets specified in Section II.A. 1. of the Consent Decree. Thefirst such target load factor is a maximum average of 1.35 passengers per seat to beachieved by December 31, 1997. Successive target load factors are 1.25 by June 30,2000, and 1.20 by June 30, 2002.

  • LOAD FACTOR REDUCTION PLAN

    PURPOSE OF PLAN

    This plan has been prepared in accordance with the terms of a Consent Decree issued by theUnited States District Court for the Central District of California (Western Division) resultingfrom Case No. CV 94-5936 TJH (Mcx). The plan sets forth the Los Angeles County

    Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (LACMTA or the Authority) current intended actions toachieve Reduced Load Factor Targets specified in Section II.A. of the Consent Decree(Attachment A). The LACMTA is annually required to update this plan and make it available forpublic inspection at least 90 days prior to the start of its fiscal year (fiscal years span July 1through June 30).

    This plan provides projections of service requirements to meet stipulated load factor thresholds,estimated financial requirements, estimated equipment requirements, estimated manpowerrequirements, and describes the intended approach to monitoring compliance. Comments andquestions may be directed in writing to the Deputy Executive Officer for Operations Planningand Scheduling at LACMTA, P. O. Box 194, Los Angeles, CA 90053.

    SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

    The projected service requirements to attain mandated Reduced Load Factor targets are presentedin Attachment B together with explanations of how they were derived and how the data shouldbe interpreted. The projected peak bus requirements to achieve successive milestones werepresented to the LACMTA Board of Directors at a Special Meeting on March 26, 1997, and areas follows:

    Date of Service Increase Peak Buses to be Added

    Projected Total Increase 195(for Load Factor Reduction)

    FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS

    In December, 1996, LACMTA developed projected operating subsidy requirements toimplement all elements of the Consent Decree (added elements include load factor reduction; asystem of new and expanded services to improve access to jobs, educational and health care

    opportunities; and, specified fare reductions including reduced pass prices, introduction of aweekly pass, an off-peak reduced cash fare program, and constraints on the extent of future fareincreases). A set-aside of projected future revenue was identified as a part of the financialelement of a Rail Recovery Plan adopted by the Board of Directors at a Special Meeting onJanuary 10, 1997. That plan identified additional operating subsidy (Attachment C - amountsindicated as related to Consent Decree and Bus Service Improvement Program) to fund ConsentDecree implementation.

    At a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors on March 26, 1997, an updated projection offinancial requirements was presented (Attachment D) that is consistent with the fundingrequirements identified to the Board of Directors in January. An operating subsidy requirementfor Consent Decree-related actions of $574 million is projected for the period of FY 1997-98through FY 2008-09 (12 years). Additionally, a $1.0 billion capital investment for theprocurement of 2,408 buses is proposed for this 12 year period. Funding for the purchase of thesebuses has been specified in the current working version of the Long Range Plan financialforecasting model.

    EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

    As described above, LACMTA projects a total increase of 195 buses to meet the ConsentDecree's Reduced Load Factor targets. The combined equipment requirements for all serviceelements of the Consent Decree are projected to increase peak bus requirements by up to 325vehicles by June, 2002. If all of these vehicles are full-size buses, the LACMTA's peak busrequirement would grow to 2,006 (compared to a 1,681 peak bus requirement in November,1996). This will require a fleet of 2,408 buses (2,006 peak buses plus 402 maintenance spares).

    A bus procurement plan has been proposed for consideration by the Board of Directors(Attachment E) that would support a fleet of 2,408 buses. LACMTA's active fleet includes 2,163buses (as of March 17, 1997) supporting a peak bus requirement of 1,746. The existingmaintenance spare requirement is 382 buses (20% of the peak requirement plus an additional 33buses to allow for a 30% spare ratio for the methanol/ethanol fleet) yielding an excess of 35buses over current service needs. A small contingency reserve fleet is available (about 40 buses),some of which are being reconditioned to meet near-term service needs. The Authority continuesto receive new buses from the balance of a 294-bus order (see timeline in Attachment F) withapproximately 70 buses remaining to be added to the active fleet. Additionally, an order for 250CNG buses was awarded in June, 1996, with deliveries to occur over the next 18 months (seeagain Attachment F). A revised bus purchase specification is now under development with anInvitation For Bid currently planned for issue by May 1, 1997. The quantity, of buses to berequested has not been determined at this time.

    In summary, an adequate number of buses is available to meet projected service needs, and afundable bus procurement plan has been presented to the Board of Directors to sustain projectedincreased equipment requirements.

    MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS

    For the week ending March 22, 1997, the Authority's operating manpower requirement is2,907.5 Operator FTE's (Full-Time Equivalents which includes up to 15% part-time assignmentsrated at .5 FTE each). The Authority maintains a 16% coverage ratio to compensate for operatorunavailability (for whatever reasons -- examples include vacation, sickness, injury, various typesof leave, etc.). Including coverage, the current manpower requirement is 3,372.5 FTE's whichhappens to coincide with current operator staffing (while this is something that the Authorityconstantly tries to achieve, it is extraordinarily rare to match manpower to need exactly). Thereare presently 15 newly hired FTE's undergoing operator training (these are not counted inavailable manpower). The Authority has been continuously hiring new operators since the fall of1996 and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

    The 51 bus June increase will increase manpower requirements in the range of 75-95 FTE's(including coverage operators). These additional manpower requirements are within theAuthority's hiring and training capabilities over the next 90 days. The Authority will continuehiring and training of additional manpower to meet subsequent service requiremems.

    MONITORING PROGRAM

    The principal means of data collection currently employed by the Authority is a dedicatedcomplement of Schedule Checkers who perform a variety of data collection activities with theassistance of hand-held computing devices that allow automation of data processing once it iscollected. On an occasional basis, the current operator labor agreement also permits the use ofoperators to collect ridership data while in-service.

    A portion of the Schedule Checker resource has been dedicated to monitoring bus services thathave been impacted by the Load Factor Reduction service investment since December, 1996.Particular attention has been devoted to regular sampling of loads on bus lines 204/354 and 30/31which received added service in December intended to reduce the maximum load ratio to 1.10.

    Data from these lines will provide specific information about ridership response to significantservice capacity increases that can be used to subsequently refine the Authority's estimates ofresources necessary to comply with the Consent Decree's Reduced Load Factor targets.Beginning in February, a sampling program was instituted to systematically monitor all of thebus lines that received added service in December, 1996.

    A monitoring plan is now being developed to periodically sample all bus lines that are likely tobe affected by the Load Factor Reduction targets. For approximately the next year, particularlyafter December, 1997, additional resources will be allocated to this program, as needed. A

    proposal to incorporate the acquisition of .Automated Passenger Counting (APC) equipment isunder consideration as an element of the Authority's capital investment program for FY 1997-98.An APC demonstration program will be getting underway within the next two months, funded in

  • Load Factor Reduction Plan

    March 31, 1997

    Page 4

    the current fiscal year's budget, to obtain information regarding the performance of state-of-the-art equipment. This will assist the Authority in the development of a specification for theproposed future acquisition. Should the acquisition of APC equipment be deferred, or prove to beinfeasible, then additional data collection resources will be obtained.

  • Attachment B

    Projected Service Requirements w/Explanation

  • EXPLANATION OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

    This section presents five tables depicting maximum passenger loads by time period, scheduledservice levels, and bus (or trip) requirements to fulfill mandated Load Factor Reduction targets.The five tables correspond to the following time periods:

    Table 1 Weekday AM PeakTable 2 Weekday Off-Peak (midday, evening & owl)Table 3 Weekday PM PeakTable 4 Saturdays (all day)Table 5 Sundays & Holidays (all day)

    These time periods have been selected to correspond with the monitoring requirements of theConsent Decree (see excerpt in Attachment A) which, in turn, correspond to the Authority'sadopted Consolidated Transit Service Policies (excerpt related to passenger loading standardsfollows the tables in this section). Passenger loading data is collected on a trip by trip basis(either through a full riding check of all scheduled trips, or through point checks that monitor alltrips passing a particular point, usually the point of a bus line where maximum loads generallyoccur). Passenger load ratios are calculated during 20 minute time periods for weekday peaktravel periods, and for hourly periods at all other times.

    The Consent Decree's mandated Load Factor Reduction targets primarily require increases inservices operated during weekday peak time periods because the Authority's adopted loadingstandards for other time periods are at least as stringent. Because the Consent Decree's targetsare absolute, and some growth in patronage can be expected to occur over the next several years,some additional off-peak weekday and weekend service will also be required.

    Each of the five tables in this section provides the same information for its corresponding timeperiod. For each bus line the appropriate time interval (20 minutes, or 60 minutes) and directionof travel having the highest average passenger loads is indicated together with the total numberof passengers onboard buses passing the maximum load point (increased by 5% to provide anallowance for future growth in estimating service requirements), and the number of scheduledbus trips (as of 12-31-96) during the specified time interval. Though not shown explicitly in thetables, the average maximum load ratio may be calculated as the combined maximum passengerload divided by the number of scheduled bus trips. The correspondence between Load Factorsand maximum average passenger loads (based on a 43-seat bus) is as follows:

    1.35 Load Ratio Maximum average load of 58.05 passengers per bus1.25 Load Ratio Maximum average load of 53.75 passengers per bus1.20 Load Ratio Maximum average load of 51.60 passengers per bus

    In addition to passenger loading data each table presents five columns containing the followinginformation for the time period to which the table is applicable:

    B-1

  • Buses Added 12-15-96 The number of buses added to scheduled service as a

    result of the December Shake-Up implemented onDecember 15, 1996 (Limited Stop service on Lines 94and 111/112 was implemented on December 30, 1996).

    Buses to be Added 6-29-97 The number of buses currently planned to be added toscheduled service in the June Shake-Up scheduled to beimplemented on June 29, 1997. A small number of thebuses indicated in the weekday peak period tables willbe obtained through reallocation of buses originallyused to introduce limited stop services on December 30,1996. This will result from integration of the limitedstop trips into the Basic Operating Schedule for the twolines involved (the introduction of these services wasoriginally implemented as an overlay of the additionalservice on top of the previously scheduled local bustrips operated on each line). The actual peak busincrease to be implemented in June, 1997, will be atleast 51 buses.

    Trips Required 12-31-97 Indicates the number of bus trips that may need to beadded within the indicated time interval by December31, 1997. Values are calculated to achieve a 1.35

    maximum load ratio on the basis of the passengerloading data shown (including a 5% allowance forgrowth) and the sum of the currently scheduled tripsplus buses planned for addition through June, 1997(assuming one additional trip per bus within theindicated time interval).

    Trips Required 6-30-00 Indicates the number of bus trips that may need to beadded within the indicated time interval by June 30,2000. Values are calculated to achieve a 1.25 maximum

    load ratio on the basis of the passenger loading datashown (including a 5% allowance for growth) and thesum of the currently scheduled trips plus buses (andtrips) planned (or projected) for addition throughDecember, 1997 (assuming one additional trip per buswithin the indicated time interval).

    Trips Required 6-30-02 Indicates the number of bus trips that may need to beadded within the indicated time interval by June 30,2002. Values are calculated to achieve a 1.20 maximum

    load ratio on the basis of the passenger loading data

    B-2

  • shown (including a 5% allowance for growth) and thesum of the currently scheduled trips plus buses (andtrips) planned (or projected) for addition through June,2000 (assuming one additional trip per bus within theindicated time interval).

    The projected trip requirements for December, 1997, and later, do not necessarily correspond tothe number of buses that may be needed at the indicated points in time. For example, if passengergrowth varies from the assumed 5% allowance, trips may not be needed at the indicated point intime. Also, needed trips may be provided by scheduling a bus from another bus line to providethe trip (a process known as interlining) without adversely impacting the schedule of the otherbus line. Passenger loads may also be accomodated by varying the time intervals between buses(headways) in a way that results in an increase in the number of trips operated during the timeinterval where capacity is needed, especially when an adjacent time interval has excess capacity.When these factors (and others) are considered, the actual number of buses needed to meetprojected trip requirements can be substantially lower than would be suggested by assuming thateach needed trip would require an additional bus. An illustration of this point for the indicatedtrip requirements for December, 1997, follows:

    Factor AM Peak Trips Off-Peak Trips PM Peak Trips

    Projected Need (by 12-31-97) 36 21 36

    Trips needed only if 5% growth occurs 8 8 10Trips provided through headway changes 15 5 11Trips provided through interlining 1 1Integration of Line 316 w/Line 16 2Errors in check data 3 2 2

    Trips added 2-16-97 (contract services) 2

    Remaining Need 5 5 13

    Since the Authority's current AM Peak bus requirement is greater than its PM Peak busrequirement, the portion of need projected for December, 1997, that may require additional peakbuses is consistent with the allowance of I0 additional peak buses noted previously in this plan.Current projections of trips needed to achieve subsequent Load Factor Reduction milestones aresubstantially less than the allowances of 44 buses (by June, 2000) and 37 buses (by June, 2002)that are noted in this plan, thereby providing ample flexibility within planned equipment andfunding budgets to comply with mandated Load Factor Reduction targets.
