TEMECULA PROPOSED DIAL-A-RIDE
WHAT IS DIAL-A-RIDE?
The Temecula Dial-A-Ride will be a General Public demand-responsive
service designed to provide personalized curb-to-curb
transportation for area residence that find it difficult to us
local fixed route service. Service is provided using clean,
~ir-conditloned, radio dispatched vehicles.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR DIAL-A-HIDE SERVICE?
Anyone may use the Temecula Dial-A-Ride if the beginning or ending
point of their desired trip is within the Temecula Dial-A-Ride
service area (see map).
HOW DOES THE DIAL-A-RIDE SERVICE WORK?
Just call the Dial-A-Ride Dispatch Center (1-800-THE RIDE) at least
one hour before you want to ride.
Provide the Dispatcher with the following information:
o Your name
o Pick-up point and time
o Destination
o Time you wish to return
o If you are mobility impaired
Dial-A-Ride is a shared-ride service; therefore, ride and wait time
may vary slight-ly. Dial-A-Ride may not be able to accommodate
everyone at exactly the time requested, but every effort will be
made to make the riders trip as convenient as possible. The rider
will be requested to be ready to go when your Dial-A-Ride vehicle

DIAL-A-RIDE (Page Two)
WHEN SHOULD THE RIDER CALL?
All trips should be reserved at least one hour in advance; however,
trips may be reserved up to (6) days in advance. Dial-A-Ride will
schedule rides as near as possible to the requested pick-up time;
however, service is provided on a first-come first-served advanced
reservation basis so riders should call as early as possible.
(Riders should schedule return trip at the same time they schedule
the original pick-up.)
DOES THE RIDER NEED TO CALL EVERY DAY?
If service is needed at the same time every day, or the same time
on the same day of the week, the Dial-A-Ride Dispatcher can set up
a periodic listing so it will not be necessary for a rider to call
each day or week.
WHAT IF THE RETURN TIME CHANGES?
If the appointment is running late and the rider will miss their
return trip, the Dial-A-Ride Dispatcher should be notified as soon
as possible. Dial-A-Ride can reschedule the return trip on the
first available vehicle. It may require a little longer wait, but
the rider will get home.
BEFORE YOUR TRIP. .HERE ARE A FEW TIPS:
1. PLAN AHEAD: Schedule trips as early in advance as possible, at
least one day in advance. Be sure to arrange for your return trip
at the same time.
2. BE SURE OF YOUR DESTINATION: Once your trip is scheduled the
driver may not change his/her tour.
3. BE READY: Be prepared to go at least 10 minutes before your

DIAL-A-RIDE & RTA FIXED ROUTE
In October of 1992, Temecula Shuttle was contacted by a City
Official requesting our assistance in researching alternate means
of general public door-to-door transportation similar to a "taxi"
since this type of service was not available to the citizens of
Temecula.
As a result of this request, Temecula Shuttle has done
extensive research into alternate forms of public demand response
transportation. Our recommendation, as outlined in our proposal to
the City of Temecula, would be to initiate a Dial-A-Ride general
demand door-to-door transportation system. This would provide
affordable transportation to a greater number of Temecuta residence
while comptimenting the City's existing RTA fixed route service.
PRESENT DAY DEMAND
A general public demand response (Dial-A-Ride) service is
greatly needed in a City of the size and population of Temecula.
Also, the new A.D.A. (American Disability Act Law) states that any
City or County that offers public transportation is by law required
to have service for the handicapped and disabled. A Dial-A-Ride
service would provide this required service.
TEMECULA SHUTTLE
As the people movers of the valley, Temecula Shuttle is
currently providing transportation needs for the citizens of
Temecula and surrounding areas. In addition to our airport
transportation service, we initiated a Round-Town Shuttle service
designed to meet the senior citizen and general public's immediate
transportation needs. Although this program has been a big
success, the cost to the customer is higher than a Dial-A-Ride due
to our operating costs. We would welcome the opportunity to work
with the City of Temecula in developing and operating a Dial-A-Ride
Program in Temecula and feel we are qualified to do so.

BENEFITS
Dial-A-Ride provides convenient door-to-door transportation
for senior citizens, handicapped and immediate need residence of
Temecula seven (7) days a week, including holidays.
Dial-A-Ride is ideal for the Temecula Valley climate and
eliminates waiting for a fixed route service on hot summer days and
cool winter nights.
Dial-A-Ride enhances passenger safety by providing
door-to-door service.
All vehicles used for Dial-A-Ride would be fueled with propane
for cleaner air and operate on a demand of service basis.
Dial-A-Ride offers safety to riders requiring evening and late
night transportation.
COMPATIBILITY TO RTA FIXED ROUTE SERVICE
The Dial-A-Ride service could be designed to work hand-in-hand
with the current RTA fixed route service operating in Temecula.
(See proposal attached).
PROJECT EXPANSION PLAN
Temecula Shuttle's proposal includes
expansion plan (See proposal attached).
a three (3) year
PROJECT BUDGET
A Dial-A-Ride service consisting of two (2) 350 1-ton ford
Mini-buses would cost $80.000. The Mini-buses would be paratransit
equipped. We woul_d request the City fund this expense up-front in
order t._________o get the pro~ecto~rational ~t the earliest possible date.
The three (3) year proposal plan attached includes the purchas~'6~
two (2) additional Mini-buses. Operational start-up cost to the
City iS estimated to be $20,000. (See attached proposal).

PROJECT FUNDING
TDA: Transportation Development Act 1972, Sec. 99401.5.
STA: State Transit Assistance Fund. With the 1991 passage by
California voters of an increase in the State gas tax, additional
funding through this source is expected to be available over the
next several years.
FTA: Federal Transit Administration.
UMTA: Urban Mass Transportation Administration under
Sec. 18/Funds.
Community Development Block Grant, U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
PAYBACK TO CITY
The City of Temecula can expect 13% to 15% fare box revenue
return from ridership and monies generated from advance ticket or
punch-card program. A Dial-A-Ride system would also provide
payback to the City in citizen satisfaction.
SCHEDULE OF IMPLEMENTATION
It will take approximately 60 to 90 days to obtain the
proposed Mini-buses. Funding by TDA will take approximately 90
days after the City of Temecula and Riverside Commission approve
the program. In the interim, Temecula Shuttle could provide
immediate Dial-A-Ride service on a temporary basis using our
current units, providing the city subsidize Temecula Shuttle for
services rendered. '~
DIAL-A-RIDE & RTA FIXED ROUTE - COMPATABILITY
CURRENT RTA FIXED ROUTE SERVICE
RTA currently have two (2) twenty plus passenger one-ton dual
wheel Mini-buses in operation approximately six days a week with
one (1) back up. The RTA fixed route service covers approximately
fifteen (15) miles and takes 40 to 50 minutes to complete. The
route has one Mini-bus traveling eastbound starting at 5:45A.M. at
County Center Dr. and the second Mini-bus starting at the same time
and at the same location traveling westbound (map attached).
This RTA fixed route service operates approximately thirteen
(13) hours a day per Mini-bus providing a total of 26 hours of
service per day. This service has been operating for nearly two (2)
years and records indicate the ridership to be approximately 90
passengers per day, or about 2000 passengers per month.
At the request of City Officials, Temecula Shuttle was asked
to look into how the Dial-A-Ride General Public Demand Response
Transit Service, as outlined in our Proposal, would compliment the
existing RTA fixed route (23). Our objective is to initiate a
Dial-A-Ride service with minimal duplication of the existing RTA
route. Another objective is to assist in extending ridership and
service for the citizens of Temecula by bringing the RTA fixed
route service from Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, into Temecula and our
sister City of Murrieta.
The RTA fixed route (23) current ridership of 90 passengers
per day is mainly obtained between the hours of 7:00A.M.- 9:00A.M.
and 2:00P.M. - 4:30P.M. assisting in the pick up and drop off of
students needing before and after school transportation.
Our studies show the RTA route (23) could provide service to
a greater number of our citizens if the following changes were made
to the exiting routes.
A. Eliminate the existing Eastbound Route altRgether.
B. Operate the Westbound Route (23) from County Center Drive.
utilizing both Mini-buses during peak travel hours in departure
intervals of 30 minutes. This would immediately reduce passenger
waiting time making this service more attractive to a larger number
of our citizens. The second Mini-bus could be out-of-service
during low peak hours reducing the cost of operating empty
vehicles, providing a savings of taxpayer money. Another benefit
would be the reduction of pollution created from the gas burning
460 cu. in engines.
C. The RTA fixed route should be expanded to include service
to Temecula shopping centers; (i.e. Target Center, Palm Plaza,
etc.) as well as business centers and residential areas.
D. Expand the RTA fixed route to include cross town service to
the City's Industrial & Business centers during the peak lunch
hours of ll:30A.M. to l:30P.M. This could help to eliminate the
cross town gridlock that exists on the two freeway overpasses
during these hours.
DIAL-A-RIDE COMPATIBILITY TO RTA
The Dial-A-Ride as outlined in our proposal, would compliment
the RTA fixed route service by taking care of the ADA (American
Disability Act Laws) which require cities with existing public
transportation to also provide transportation services for the
handicapped and disabled. This service would also assist
individuals residing in the rural areas of the City, that are
currently without public transportation.
A Dial-A-Ride should be customized to the community it serves
as well as compliment the existing RTA fixed route service. We at
Temecula Shuttle live and operate our service with a license
through the City of Temecula. We are aware of the needs of our
community and would work hand-in-hand to make this program a model
to others.
PRIMARY SYSTEM GOALS
1. Choice-riders will be encouraged to use the transit
services in lieu of private automobiles helping to elevate traffic
congestion and improving the quality of our air.
2. Increase the mobility for those persons who are transit
dependent such as the elderly, handicapped, students and
economically disadvantaged by providing public transportation
services that meet their immediate needs.
3. Provide an economical as well as effecient system of
public transportation that meet the needs of the community.

POLICE ACTIVITY REPORT FOR JANUARY,
1992 ANNUAL REPORT.
1993,
The following report reflects the Part I Crimes, Traffic
Activity, and miscellaneous activity occurring in the
City of Temecula during the month of January 1993.
As in previous months the Part One State are broken down
by individual districts within the City. This provides
a greater understanding of the criminal activity within
the City for police staff deployment and for Council/
Commission interest.
Traffic officers worked Calle Pina Colada, Calle Medusa,
Kahwea Road, and De1 Rio Road for speed violations during
January. The program resulted in a quantity of citations
being issued. The speeds noted were on the average 12
miles per hour over the posted speed. Officers have been
asked to monitor these areas, and have returned to
working other areas.
Officer Felteuberger completed the annual report for
1992. He also compared the state from 1991 to 1992.
When you review the report I think you will agree the
people of Temecula can be proud of their efforts to
maintain a safe and orderly community. Police efforts
are only one portion of the solution, the main ingredient
is community involvement.
The majority of the reported crime reflected a decrease.
The system that tracked the crime stars remained the
same for both years.
Sergeant Willjams presented the first draft of the
volunteers Community Watch Program. The program is
intended to allow mature citizens the opportunity to do

parking lot patrols, parking enforcement, and assisting with
traffic control. I am moving this along at a slower than normal
rate to ensure the quality of the program will be in place. The
program will be submitted to the Public/Traffic Safety Commission
for review.
For several months the Tamecula K-9 has been treated for a medical
condition that prevented him from retaining his meal. This has
caused a weight loss problem. The problem was treated without
success, and we are unsure if the problam will become more
complicated in the future. The vendor has agreed to replace the
K-9. A replacament K-9 will be selected at the end of the month.
The program will continue.
The Public/Traffic Safety Commission requested that the monthly
reports reflect the state from the previous years month to the
current years month. This will be done to provide an idea of where
we are in relation to the previous year.

January 1993 Activity Report
The following statistics reflect the monthly fire suppression and
fire prevention activity of your fire department for the month of
January, 1993.
With the beginning of the new year came the rains, and the flooding
of portions of Temecula. As the rains continued and the flood
danger escalated, the fire department recommended the formation of
a flood Emergency Operations Center and began to methodically bring
surrounding resources into the community to assist with rescues,
assessments, routine community emergencies, evacuation, and
logistical support for all of the cooperators and evacuees.
Together with City of Temecula staff, State and County cooperators,
and utility company representatives, the fire department
coordinated a large group of resources assembled to provide
emergency and logistical support to the citizens of Temecula and
the adjacent area.
Fire Department resources involved in this cooperative effort
included: 15 overhead, 25 out of area fire engines, City assigned
fire engines and truck, several rescue squads, several CDF inmate
crews (both during the incident and post incident clean up), a CDF
Fire Camp mobile kitchen to feed emergency workers and evacuees,
and the Riverside County Mobile Emergency Operations Center.
In addition, through mutual aid, the National Guard, Red Cross, and
Urban Search and Rescue Team also assisted during this operation.
Goodhew ambulance provided excellent coverage and cooperation as
well, sending a field supervisor to the Incident Command Post to
help coordinate. The Trauma Intervention Program volunteers were
called in to offer help to evacuees and others.
Support and interest from the City of Temecula Mayor, City Council
members, and Public / Traffic Safety Commission was deeply
appreciated. Use of the Incident Comaand System for management of
the entire incident helped most events flow in an organized
fashion.
On the positive side cf this, all functions of city government were
tested under emergency conditions, and it was apparent that the
previous training drills held by City and County Fire Emergency
services Division personnel paid off in a relatively smooth
operation. Improvements and refinements will continue to be made.
As the Temecula flood incident de-escalated, the fire department
team that helped manage it were routed to the Ryan Air Field fire
department facility to help coordinate county wide disaster
operations and relief.
With all of the rainfall, we anticipate a very active weed
abatement program again this year within the City. Depending on the
summer weather, there will be potential for a great many grass and
brush fires this year. Again this year, a great deal of fire
prevention education will be provided in the elementary schools in
an attempt to curtail juvenile fire starts.
All other fire service activities have been routine, the majority
of emergency calls continue to be medical incidents. Fire
prevention activities continue as per plan.
Thank you for your continued support in serving the citizens of
Temecula.
