Long Beach Transit STAR Initiative Executive Summary

WHAT IS THE STAR INITIATVE?
The Long Beach Transit (LBT) STAR Initiative stands for Systemwide Transit Analysis and Reassessment. This 18- month, comprehensive analysis of Long Beach Transit’s bus service is designed to maximize productivity and effectiveness and increase ridership through improvements across all aspects of operations.
Why Change?The City of Long Beach and surrounding areas are growing, and the transportation needs of residents
are changing. The STAR Initiative looked at ways to respond to the needs of a rapidly evolving
customer market.
As we continue to grow, our transit system should be a first class choice for mobility. LBT evaluated its
entire transit operation to accommodate expected growth through ensuring mobility and improving the
overall quality of life for all current and future residents of Long Beach and surrounding areas.
The result? Changes to almost every route in the system in the next 10 years that will help make LBT more valuable to residents, employees and visitors.

GOALS AND STRATEGIES
Goal One: Retain, Reclaim and Recruit customers while maintaining and improving choices for those without other options.
• Strategy 1.1 . Focus on productivity when investing in
additional service.
• Strategy 1.2. Pursue capital investments that will support
speed and reliability, such as Rapid service and dedicated
lanes.
• Strategy 1.3. Simplify service by operating fewer route
variations that serve easy-to-understand destinations.
• Strategy 1.4. Operate buses more often and with longer
hours in order to expand the types of trips that customers
can make on LBT.
• Strategy 1.5. Improve customer amenities at bus stops
to enhance customer experience and enhance LBT’s
perception among potential customers.
• Strategy 1.6. Reduce duplication of service in order
to provide high quality service in the most cost-effective
manner.

Goal Two: Improve integration of local and regional transit service.
• Strategy 2.1. Identify gaps at the edge of the service area
that LBT could fill through coordination with neighboring
agencies or extensions of LBT routes.
• Strategy 2.2. Minimize the extent to which fare policy
negatively impacts trips that require transfers between
operators in the region.
Goal Three: Transition LBT from being a transit operator toward being a mobility provider.
• Strategy 3.1. Enhance end-to-end user experience
through customer information, fare payment options,
schedule reliability and physical amenities.
• Strategy 3.2. Look at vehicle options other than a 40-foot
bus, particularly in lower-density areas such as East Long
Beach. This could include using smaller vehicles and ride-
hail technology.
Long Beach Transit’s new fleet of battery-electric buses are quieter and environmentally friendly.

Long Beach COA Executive Summary
RIDERSHIPOn a typical weekday, LBT carries 83,000 average daily riders. While the amount of service
supplied in the last four years has increased by approximately 7 percent, ridership has not
increased correspondingly.
0N-TIME PERFORMANCESystemwide, Long Beach Transit services have an average on-time performance of 87
percent. In general, shorter routes have the best on-time performance, while the worst-
performing routes are longer, high ridership routes such as Routes 192, 91 and 61. Running
late is much more common for LBT routes than running early across the system.

Long Beach Transit STAR Initiative Executive Summary

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES? WHAT’S WORKING?
High ridership on multiple corridors near downtown Long Beach. Atlantic Avenue, 7th Street, Anaheim Street and Pacific Coast Highway all have great ridership.
Service coverage is good, with most parts of Long Beach, Signal Hill and Lakewood being less than ¼ mile away from an existing bus route. However, wait times for service in outlying areas is typically long.
Ridership has been declining. Improving service to existing high ridership destinations, such as California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), or creating better connections to regional service can help reverse this trend.
Almost all routes serve downtown Long Beach. which leads to duplicative service in some of the most congested parts of the service area.
LBT can be confusing. especially for first time riders. Simplified routes, more frequent service and less route variants would make LBT easier to navigate.

TRAVEL DEMAND ANALYSIS
The goal of the Travel Demand Analysis is to quantify market
demand. Multiple different methods were utilized to assess demand
for services. CSULB, downtown Long Beach and Lakewood Center
Mall are some of the highest demand areas. Significant regional
travel occurs between the Long Beach Transit service area and the
downtown and westside areas of Los Angeles.

RECOMMENDATIONSBased on service analyses, market assessments
and public input, a series of improvements
were developed. Because of the complexity of
implementing big service changes, a phased
approach is recommended. The Short-Term Roadmap
includes recommendations that can occur in the
next 2 years. The Mid-Term Roadmap includes
recommendations that may be implemented in
the next three to five years, while the Long-Term
Roadmap includes recommendations that may be
implemented in the five- to 10-year timeframe.

• Extending service on Anaheim and 4th
streets to serve CSULB
• Providing better connections to the Metro
Blue Line from west Long Beach and to
the Metro Green Line from the City of
Paramount
• Adjusting the Passport route to serve more
downtown Long Beach residents
• Acquiring and improving service on Artesia
Boulevard
• Defining opportunities to implement smaller
buses
• Changing 12 bus routes
• Up to a 10 percent increase in LBT service
hours
• Better connections to key major
destinations and job centers such as
CSULB
• Better connections to Metro Rail
• Increase in customers with access to
15-minute service
• Increase of 41,300 residents within ¼
mile of service (+6 percent)
• Increase of 44,400 jobs within ¼ mile
of service (+16 percent)
Benefits of Short-Term Roadmap include:

MID-TERM ROADMAP RECOMMENDATIONSThe Mid-Term Roadmap is a transformative
restructuring of LBT’s route network to improve
mobility and the attractiveness of service. It builds
upon the Short-Term Roadmap.
The Mid-Term Roadmap focuses on simplification of
the route network and investments in the highest-
ridership corridors throughout the city. Specific
improvements include:
• Four new corridors with service every 15
minutes, seven days a week including:
» Carson Street
» Willow Street
» Broadway, Ximeno Avenue, Lakewood
Boulevard and Clark Avenue
» Bellflower Boulevard between CSULB
and Lakewood Center Mall
• Route consolidation on major corridors to
improve bus spacing and make service
easier to understand
• All routes would operate at least every 30
minutes during the day
• Service would operate earlier and later in
the day
• Simplification of route numbers and patterns
• Future emerging mobility zones, where
on-demand service using smaller vehicles
would be provided to serve the needs of
customers
• New service connecting Lakewood Center
Mall and the City of Norwalk
• More direct service between the Long
Beach Airport, Metro Blue Line and
downtown Long Beach
• Supporting capital improvements

LONG-TERM ROADMAP RECOMMENDATIONSThe Long-Term Roadmap illustrates the
improvements necessary to meet mobility needs that
were identified through the STAR Initiative throughout
the existing service area and beyond. Costs were
not a consideration in developing the Long-Term
Roadmap. Highlights include:
• One new corridor with service every 15
minutes, seven days a week between
Lakewood Center Mall and the City of
Norwalk
» Carson Street
» Willow Street
» Broadway, Ximeno Avenue,
Lakewood Boulevard and Clark
Avenue
» Bellflower Boulevard between
CSULB and Lakewood Center Mall
• Service would operate earlier and later
in the day
• Limited-stop service connecting
downtown Long Beach with Long
Beach Airport, CSULB, LBCC
campuses and Lakewood Center Mall
• Regional connections to the downtown
and westside areas of Los Angeles and
Orange County
• Better connections to the City of
Downey
• Additional future emerging mobility
zones, where on-demand service using
smaller vehicles would be provided to
serve the needs of customers
• Supporting capital improvements

NEXT STEPS
Long Beach Transit will work to determine the specific phasing of the Short-, Mid- and Long-Term Roadmaps. Route changes, policy changes and implementation order will all require additional public input before they are finalized.
