The Project
Citibus is proposing that FY 2011 JARC funds be used to continue fixed route service on Route 19 and Route 34
(previously the JARC-funded Route 25).
As Route 25, this service began in 2001, as a crosstown route that was anchored at one end by Citibus'

Downtown Transfer Plaza and at the other end by the Convergys call center, near 34th Street and West Loop
289. It was modified in 2007 and is now two routes, allowing service to an expanded area.
Route 19 ("Wayland Plaza/South Plains Mall") serves the following educational facilities:
- Bowie Elementary School
- Dupre Elementary School
- Wester Elementary School
- Lubbock High School
- Lubbock Christian University
- Texas Tech University
Significant areas of employment along Route 19 include:
- Convergys
- Covenant Health System (two locations)
- Lubbock Christian University
- South Plains Mall
- Texas Tech University
(Of these, Convergys, Covenant Health System, and Texas Tech University are listed by the Lubbock Economic
Development Alliance as major local employers)
Additionally, passengers on Route 19 have access to affordable housing, primarily near 32nd Street and Genoa
and north of South Plains Mall, medical services at the two locations of Covenant Health System and the related
facilities in the medical district, and the Social Security office.
Route 34 ("34th Street/South Plains Mall") serves the following educational facilities:
- Bean Elementary School
- Stewart Elementary School
-Williams Elementary School
- O.L. Slaton Middle School
- Hutchinson Middle School
- Wilson Middle School
- Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center
- Coronado High School
Significant areas of employment along Route 34 include:
- The entire 34th Street corridor
- South Plains Mall
Additionally, passengers on Route 34 have access to the LIFE/Run Independent Living Center and the
City/County Health Department.
Service Summary
Citibus proposes to use JARC funding to provide fixed route service on these two routes Monday -Saturday, on
headways ranging from 30 minutes to one hour; the specific headway time will be designed to coordinate with
the remainder of the system.
The History
In the past, planning partners for this service included the Texas Department of Human Services, Women/Es
Protective Services, LMPO, Women's Empowerment Program/Catholic Family Service, Inc. and the Texas
Department of Transportation. All of these agencies have been involved with and supportive of Citibus' JARC
program since our first program was funded; most of these agencies are currently involved in the local regional
coordination efforts.
Beginning in April 2000, Citibus has been the lead agency and has headed the regional transportation
coordination efforts for the South Plains region. As part of the formal process of developing a regional plan, the
regional group identified unmet needs across the region. One significant unmet need was identified as Citibus
operating assistance and the associated remediation strategy was stated as, "Utilize JARC funds to maximum
extent possible to offset loss of Federal operating assistance, while maintaining current route structure."
The proposal, as outlined above, is vital in meeting the unmet need noted in the coordinated public

The Lubbock MPO went through a competitive process and it was awarded to City of Lubbock/Citibus in
February 2011.
2/18/2011 - Page 70019 of the 2/8/2011 Federal Register indicates a JARC allocation of $73,052 under the
current Continuing Resolution. This is said to be a 5/12 allocation, so a future revision will be required when the
supplemental allocation is released.
