Item to be presented by:
John E. Medina
ADDITIONAL COMMUTER BUSES
The City currently has nine commuter buses ordered through Neoplan U.S.A. Corporation. This
equipment will be utilized when the City assumes the operation of commuter bus service with its own
buses.
The current service is operating at between 85% and 95% capacity. Industry standards recommend
service expansion when 80% capacity is reached. When the buses were ordered the system was
operating at 70-75%.
Marketing of the current service has never been pursued to the residents of Santa Clarita. The delivery
of our new commuter buses with its comfort and amenities provides an opportune time to now move
forward with our marketing of this program. It is felt that the nine buses ordered will not be sufficient
to meet the demand. Any diversion of riders from our buses to the commuter train in October 1992
will permit us to address other areas such as the Antelope Valley and various parts of the San Fernando
Valley.
The nine buses currently on order are being funded through a bond purchase. Numerous factors,
including a better than expected bond rate, will provide sufficient funds for the purchase of two
additional pieces of equipment within our ability to fund the debt service from our Proposition A and
Transportation Demand Act Revenue.
Neoplan U.S.A. Corporation has agreed to supply two additional buses at the same per unit price.
Authorize the purchase of two additional commuter buses from Neoplan U.S.A. Corporation.
