6.3B Page 10 Project Budget/Sustainability 1. Project sponsor should provide a complete budget indicating project revenues and expenditures in the format provided below. Estimate the proposed cost per trip (or other unit of service). Describe efforts to ensure its cost-effectiveness. The pilot Redwood City Community Shuttle will utilize CCAG's current service efficiency guidelines of per rider costs not to exceed $6 and no fewer than 10 riders per service hour. 2. Proposals should address long-term efforts and identify potential funding sources for sustaining the service beyond the grant period. In addition to Lifeline funding, the pilot Redwood City Community Shuttle will be requesting service grants from. the Bay Area Air Quality Management Bistrict and CCAG of San. Mateo. The Alliance and. SamTrans will be providing "in kind" administrative oversight alleviating city staff of that tine burden and the city of the financial. burden. If the commute hour service is implemented, Genentech, a large employer with a phone center near the planned route, will provide contributions for the service. The City will also be supporting the service .financially. Based on current discussions, the service is expected to have sufficient funding for future years should the pilot program prove successful. Coordination and Program Outreach I. Describe how the project will be coordinated with public and/or private transportation and social service agencies serving low-income populations. Redwood City, Affiance and SamTrans staff will work with i~.~terested stakeholders including those from the Pair Oaks Community Center, to design a viable service to meet the needs of the North Fair Oaks area. 2. Describe how project spansvr will continue to involve key stakeholders throughout the project. Describe efforts to market the project, and ways to promote public awareness of the program. After the service has been operating for a period of three to six months, the Alliance intends to survey the ridership to obtain their feedback. The service will be modified as necessary to better meet the needs of the users. As the service approaches the 12 to 18 month mark, the ridership will again be surveyed and the stakeholder group will meet to evaluate the existing service and ridership comments and recommendations.
