Transit Development Plan Update
Subject: -
Enclosed for Board approval is the Weld County Transit Development Plan
(TDP) Update for 1994 and 1995. This planning document is a requirement
of the Federal Transportation Administration to apply for financial
assistance under Section 18 public transportation funds.
Section 18 funds are utilized by the Weld County Transportation Program to
supplement transportation services to the elderly and disabled in rural
Weld County. These funds are applied for annually and average $30,000.00
per year.
This TDP Update evaluates progress made on the original objectives adopted
in the 1988 TDP and addresses specific objectives to be worked on in 1994
and 1995.

WELD COUNTY TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1994 - 1995 UPDATE
INTRODUCTION
This is an update to the Weld County Transit Development Program of 1988. The
update will address changes as related to the original TDP and discuss issues and
projected needs through 1995. The long range plan is to conduct a joint TDP with
the City of Greeley that would address concerns from 1996 to 2001.
Goals and Objectives
The Human Resources Advisory Committee which has acted as the Transit Advisory
Committee since the completion of the 1988 TDP has reviewed the original
objectives of the TDP and find that the objectives continue to be viable. See
Exhibit A for a listing of the HRC Committee and the areas they represent.
Transportation Setting
The total population for Weld County, according to the State Demographer's Office
is 131,821. The elderly population (60 +) grew from 14,813 in 1980 to 18,016 in
1990 according to the Colorado Demographer's Office. This is a 21.6% increase
over 1980. See Exhibit B for 60 plus population changes by individual town.
The basic dynamics of the Weld economy remain the same and growth continues to
be greatest in the south and southwestern portions of the county. Elderly and
handicapped citizens in this part of the county continue to feel isolated from
services and needs for transportation for them continue to increase.
The new airport is expected to have a growth impact on south Weld County which
will have both positive and negative influences. The economy of south Weld towns
could improve, but demand for services and environmental impacts will increase.
MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTERS/TRANSIT TRIP GENERATORS
Changes have taken place in the number and location of activity centers outside
the city limits of Greeley. The updated list is as follows:
Ault Ault Senior Citizens Center
Dacono, Frederick, Firestone Tri Town Senior Center
Eaton Eaton Senior Center
Erie Erie Senior Nutrition Program
Evans Evans Senior Center

EXISTING SERVICE
The Weld County Division of Human Resources serves a wide variety of individual
programs and non-profit agencies. A review of the listing in the original TDP
shows that this service is basically unchanged.
Ridership Trends
Year Passengers
1988 180,517
1989 184, 791
1990 177, 120
1991 184,391
1992 178,145
The Weld County Transportation System has a total of 40 vehicles up from 31 in
1988. See Exhibit C for an updated vehicle inventory and replacement plan
through 1995. Maintenance, insurance, facilities, sources of funding, and local
support remain largely unchanged.
OTHER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Please refer to Exhibit D made available to Weld County by the City of Greeley
and taken from their most recent TDP.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS UPDATE
The 1988 Weld County Transportation Development Plan outlined a variety of
alternative ways in which the transportation needs of the community could best
be met. These alternatives were based on the fact that the Transportation
Program had expanded greatly since its inception. Expansion had not been matched
by changes in management structure and procedures. It was pointed out that the
program' s ability to meet the day-to-day activities was lessened due to
inadequate staffing patterns.
Following is an update on each of the alternatives offered in the original TDP.
Significant progress has been made on many of the alternatives and measured
progress has been made on others.
Some alternative suggestions were not carried out because management believed it
was not in the best interest of the program or because the alternative suggestion
was beyond the program's means to implement.

Alternative to increase the responsibility of the Transportation Coordinator
Position:
At the time of the 1988 TDP, the Transportation Office was staffed with the
Transportation Director, one Dispatcher and occasional clerical assistance from
drivers on an as needed basis. The Transportation Director was also assuming the
duties of dispensing supplies to the Senior Nutrition sites, a time consuming
activity.
By 1989, a second dispatcher was hired and responsibility for nutrition supplies
was assigned to a part time driver. Dispatchers ' shifts were set up as morning
and afternoon shifts with overlapping time during the middle and busiest part of
the day. In 1992 a computerized inventory system was installed to track the
nutrition supplies. This system has lessened the Transportation Director's
involvement in the tracking and ordering of nutrition supplies.
Alternative to computerize the dispatching and accounting functions:
Computerization of the accounting and dispatching functions has not occurred.
We have had difficulty locating a computer program which we believe meets our
specific needs. This is an area where we require substantial outside assistance
which would be very costly.
One improvement since the TDP has been the installment of a computer and D Base
Software which has given transportation staff a spread sheet function that
tabulates miles, passengers, and time per program. The summary information is
given to the Fiscal Unit on a monthly basis. This work is delegated to a
dispatcher and saves the Transportaion Director considerable time.
Alternative to develop a Procedures Manual:
The Human Resources Advisory Committee, staffed by the Executive Director of
Human Resources has been assigned the responsibility for advice and oversight of
the Transportation Program. As such, this committee has undertaken a formal
review of all Transportation Program policies over the last two years. On a
monthly basis the Transportation Director presents a policy for review and
approval. This process is nearly completed and will result in the printing of
policy manuals which will be made available to the drivers in June.
Alternative to develop written job descriptions:
At the time of the original TDP, Human Resources was using the Weld County
Classification descriptions for transportation staff. Subsequently, separate job
descriptions for bus drivers and dispatchers have been written. The job
description for the Transportation Director is outdated and needs to be revised.

Alternative to improve the personnel selection process:
Policies which have been implemented in this area are outlined in Exhibit E.
Alternative to improve driver training and retraining procedures:
Ongoing training continues to be a weak area for the Transportation Program. The
program has requested remodeling of space next to the Director's office for use
as a training room. This would allow the Director to conduct one on one and/or
small group training with driver's during road down time. A VCR and videos have
been purchased.
Almost all drivers have current first aide cards. Training is scheduled
regularly at Red Cross.
Alternative to raise driver wages:
Beginning hourly wages for Human Resources drivers is at $6.94 per hour, up from
approximately $5.13 four years ago. In addition, all part time drivers working
20 hours or more have pro rated health benefit coverage and sick and vacation
benefits. These benefits have been newly implemented for part time workers.
Annual increases are determined by the Board of County Commissioners and are
beyond the control of Human Resources. Annual increases normally range from 2.5%
to 6.0%. Recently the annual increases have been minimal due to overall budget
restrictions.
Alternative to institute quarterly staff meetings:
Staff meetings occur, but will be scheduled more frequently when the
staff/training room is completed.
Alternative to provide a passenger waiting/staff room:
Same as above.
Alternative to take memberships in professional societies:
The Transportation Program joined CASTA in 1989. The Transportation Director has
also was a member of the RTAP Committee (Rural Transportation Assistance Program)
during 1991/1992. The Transportation Director has been a member of the Weld
County Safety Committee since 1978 and served two years as chair.
Alternative to improve pre-trip vehicle inspection procedures:
A vehicle service request form was implemented. This form is completed whenever
a driver notes a problem. Drivers conduct a visual check of their vehicle every
morning and every time they enter the vehicle thereafter.
930263
5
Alternative to sell advertising space on the exterior of the vehicles:
This alternative was studied. We concluded that the amount of time and effort
as well as the yearly maintenance of this project far outweighed the financial
benefit to the program. We based our decision on research we conducted with
other transportation systems who solicit exterior advertising.
Alternative maintenance practices:
The 1988 TDP found no fault with the regular maintenance program. However, it
was recommended that the Transportation Program increase the number of spare
vehicles for back up so that vehicle maintenance can occur in a timely manner.
Regular meetings with the users group has assisted with the timeliness of the
maintenance schedule.
In 1988 we had 31 vehicles, currently the inventory is at 40 vehicles. We have
four back up vehicles for the fleet of mini vans and one back up wheel chair lift
vehicle for three others who are on the road constantly.
Alternative of garaging vehicles in outlying communities:
This recommendation was studied. Outlying vehicles has always caused problems
for the Transportation Program in the past. We have received many complaints
from citizens about the use of such vehicles. Furthermore, the coordination and
monitoring that goes along with this model in a county the size of Weld is
difficult. The concept has merit, but given our current staffing situation; we
do not believe this to be a viable alternative at this time.
Alternative to increase service to the eastern portion of the county:
Attempts have been made to increase transportation to the Grover area of east
Weld. We have not had success with regular runs to this part of the county.
Participation is very low. Therefore, we continue to supply transportation on
an on call basis. We also reimburse mileage to volunteer drivers who assist with
transportation needs from this area of Weld County.
Alternative to use volunteer drivers:
We were never quite sure why this alternative was built into the TDP. We have
had a system of volunteer drivers in Weld County for nearly 20 years. Most of
our small rural towns have Senior Aide Coordinators. These coordinators recruit
volunteer drivers to transport individuals from their communities to Greeley or
other towns where services are available. The volunteers sign up under the VIS
volunteer insurance which is paid for by Weld County Human Resources. At that
time they also must show proof of insurance and proof of having a valid driver's
license. Volunteer drivers document miles driven and are reimbursed at .25 cents
per mile. The reimbursement for the county on an annual basis is approximately
$10,000 per year. Need continues to be greater that the resources to pay for it.
This would be an area where we would want to increase funding if it is ever
possible.
930263

The county insurance plan prohibits the use of volunteers driving company units.
Alternative service to Denver:
The TDP recommended that Human Resources conduct a study to determine the extent
of need for transportation to Denver and look at some type of contractual
arrangement to pay for such a service. We do provide transportation to Denver
for medical reasons to persons in rural areas on a limited, pre arranged basis.
We do not see this as an area we should pursue for expansion. This appears to
us to be a bigger issue than our program with Section 18 funds can address. In
1992 we had three requests for transportation to Denver that we were unable to
fill.
FUTURE PROGRAM SERVICES AND NEEDS
There continue to be a number of transportation needs that the Weld County
Transportation Program could potentially fill. Additionally, there continue to
be infrastructure issues that need to be addressed which impact the overall
management of the program. Following is a listing of recommendations, approved
by the Transit Advisory Committee, which will be given serious attention during
1994 and 1995.
MANAGEMENT PLAN
Renovation of Transportation Program office space for a driver training center.
The Weld County Transportation Program needs a driver training room on location.
Because most of staff are hired part time and because of the variety of schedules
that drivers are assigned; it is difficult to congregate all the drivers together
at any given time for training. With a training room on site, the Transportation
Director could schedule small group training. Excellent training videos are
available and could be scheduled with individual drivers while they are in
between routes.
Development of a Computerized Client Data Base
A variety of programs are served by transportation. A basic client record system
which could be on the computer and easily accessed by the Transportation Director
and the Dispatchers is a serious need. Once this information is input into a
data base, it could be interfaced with other information to generate program
reports.
Implementation of a Cost Sharing Program for the Section 18 Clients
Recently, the Weld Transportation Program has been studying a ticket voucher
system that is being used in Northeast Colorado. We believe this system would
best meet our needs, allowing us to work through each of our rural Senior
Coordinator Stations. This ticket system or something similar needs to be
implemented to generate additional monies during 1994/1995.
930263

Additional Staff Resources for Planning
Many planning issues having to do with rural transportation needs in Weld County
must be addressed. The Transportation Director is involved almost exclusively
in the day to day operation of the program which includes the supervision of two
dispatchers and 35 plus drivers, assistance with route schedules, reports,
customer complaints, maintenance, bids, and program coordination issues. The
Area Agency on Aging Director who supervises the Transportation Director is
responsible for five other programs, as well. Due to the growth of the
Transportation Program over the years, staff is taxed to keep up with the day to
day activities of this program. A planning function needs to be addressed for
this unit.
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
Service to Wheelchair Users
Demand for wheelchair service is increasing dramatically. This is the single
most need area to be addressed in 1994 and 1995.
Service for South Weld County
Discontent with the transportation service to south Weld County is significant.
This is particularly true for the Dacono, Frederick, Firestone, and Erie
communities. Recently, the program has increased service to Dacono, Firestone,
and Frederick to help seniors get to the Senior Center for special programs. A
community group from this area is working with the Area Agency on Aging Office
to conduct a community needs assessment. Results should indicate specific
transportation needs which should be addressed in 1994 and 1995.
General Service to Weld County
With the 21% increase referenced earlier in the elderly population in Weld and
the increasing need of the frail elderly for door to door service; the Weld
County Transportation System must be prepared, at a minimum, to maintain current
levels of service in 1994 and 1995. Opportunities to increase service must also
be explored. Two realistic options would be to increase funding for the rural
volunteer drivers and to implement a ticket book system similar to the
Northeastern Colorado system for cost sharing.

Transp, .ation Department's Bus Driver ring Procedures
The Weld County Division of Human Resources ' Transportation Department
has an on-going job order for bus drivers through the Employment
Services of Weld County. This does not necessarily mean that a position
is available. When a position is not available, those individuals who
successfully complete the interview process , are put on a waiting list
to be called when the next position is available (this at times causes
problems as individuals may not be available when called weeks later) .
The Transportation Program interviews eligible individuals every
Wednesday to every other Wednesday. If an individual is interested,
standards must be met before being set up for an interview. If these
standards are not met, the individual will not be interviewed.
A Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) from the State (Denver) or Fort Collins,
must be provided before being considered for an interview. This MVR
must be dated within the last 30 days and is screened for violations
that would jeopardize the safety of the clients transported. The
standards for Transportation Department drivers are as follows:
1. Prior to hire date, points assessed are not to be exceeded. These
points are as follows:
a. Total of 3 points assessed for a one (1) year period.
b. Total of 6 points assessed for an eighteen (18) month period.
c. Total of 9 points assessed for a three (3) year period.
If you have ever had any of the following violations , you will not
be considered for an interview:
a. Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
b. Driving while ability is impaired by alcohol or drugs.
c. Leaving the scene of an accident.
d. Speed contests.
e. Eluding or attempting to elude a police officer.
f. Excessive speed of 14 m.p.h. or more.
If individuals meet the standards as established by the Transportation
Department, then an interview is scheduled.
Interviews are conducted at Employment Services of Weld County. The
Interviewing Panel consists of the Transportation Director, a community
representative, the Affirmative Action Officer, and any other individual
