CITIBUS PROPOSED CAPITAL PROJECTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
FY 1992
Downtown Transfer Center:
I. General Information:
Citibus is proposing to build a central transfer area for 11
fixed routes providing 265 route trips per week day. The
proposed transfer facility would have a climate controlled
indoor waiting area for passengers. The area would have
seating for approximately 50 people with additional area to
accommodate another 100-150 standing passengers. Restroom
facilities for both passengers and operators, vending
machines, and a pay telephone would also be included. The
proposed transfer facility would also include an information
area for passengers and a sales outlet for the sale of
econocards. Eight to nine buses will provide service to the
transfer facility every thirty minutes and additional buses
will utilize the facility at other times during the hour.
With approximately 600,000 passengers per year boarding or
deboarding the bus at the present downtown transfer area and
280,000 passengers transferring buses to complete their trip,
the transfer facility will provide an indoor waiting area for
passengers. Thirty percent of daily passengers must transfer
to complete their trip.
The current transfer area consists of shelters located on four
corners of Broadway and Texas Avenue in downtown Lubbock (see
Attachment A). Because all four corners must be utilized to
allow room for eight to nine buses to park for passengers
boarding, deboarding, and transferring, a passenger safety
problem is created. A number of passengers have to cross at
least one street and a large portion of the time two streets
must be crossed to transfer to connecting buses.
During inclement weather or peak traffic periods, buses can
run a few minutes late. This forces passengers to transfer in
very short periods of time or causes them to miss their
transfer completely. Passengers having to cross one or two
streets in a hurry fail to follow all safety precautions.
Passengers fall on slippery streets and sidewalks and run out
in front of vehicles on the street. A passenger has been hit
by a vehicle and there have been a number of incidents where
passengers were almost hit or caused vehicle accidents when
vehicles were forced to stop suddenly to avoid hitting a
passenger trying to transfer quickly. Although there are
shelters downtown for passengers who have to wait for their
bus, during inclement weather the shelters are not adequate.
Approximately ten percent of Citibus ridership are elderly
and/or handicapped passengers. A number of elderly passengers
have also expressed that they do not always feel safe waiting
downtown. A manned transfer facility would help alleviate
some of these fears and would provide a more adequate shelter
from inclement weather.
Bus operators currently must stop somewhere on the route to
use restroom facilities. Operators are instructed to stop
only on lower traffic volume streets, however most of the
lower traffic volume streets are very narrow and traffic can
back up when the bus is parked on the side of the street.
This causes a dangerous situation when vehicles go around the
bus and also creates some animosity from the public towards
the transit system. This problem would be taken care of by
providing separate restroom facilities for the operators at
the downtown transfer facility.
An outlet for econocard sales and an information center would
also be located at the transfer facility. Approximately 12
percent of Citibus' passengers use econocards as fare for
their trip. Currently passengers have to make a special trip
to Citibus or one of the other outlets to purchase econocards.
The purchase of the econocard could become a part of one of
their normally scheduled trips instead of a special trip.
Passengers would also be able to receive route information,
directions and route maps at the transfer facility. Making
econocards and information more accessible to passengers would
improve service to current passengers and make it easier for
new passengers to become more comfortable with using the
transit system.
Presently if an operator has problems with a bus that does not
affect safety but requires the replacement of the bus, a
maintenance employee meets the bus operator downtown with
another bus. The bus must be parked on the street downtown
while waiting for the operator to arrive. This causes an
already congested area to become even more congested when all
the buses begin to arrive downtown. This problem could be
eliminated by allowing the extra bus to be parked off the
street in the transfer facility parking area. Also if a bus
needs only minor maintenance attention, it would allow the
work to be done off the street in a safer environment,
allowing the work to be done more quickly and permitting the
bus to continue on route promptly.
Citibus is proposing an increase in transit service in
Lubbock. This increase would create two additional routes.
The areas that would be served by the proposed route changes
would necessitate more buses coming into the downtown area but
at different times. More passengers would have to wait to
make their transfer. Our present transfer area is over
crowded and there is no room for additional shelters to handle
the added passengers that must wait. The transfer facility
would help handle the additional passengers waiting for their
connecting bus.
Citibus' demand response service provides service to
approximately 30,000 passengers per year. A transfer facility
19
would provide a place for passengers to transfer to and from
the vans used in the demand response service. Citibus works
with demand response passengers who are temporarily
handicapped or who can with some assistance and education
utilize the fixed route system by providing them the
information needed or directing them to local service agencies
for assistance. The transfer facility would allow some demand
response passengers to use the fixed route service when
possible and only use the demand response service to go to
areas not serviced by the fixed route. This would help
maximize the number of citizens that can ride on transit.
The transfer facility could also be utilized by local and area
transportation providers to pick up and drop off passengers.
This would reduce the cost of providing transportation to
their passengers and allow them to provide transportation
service to more people. Both the Levelland, Texas and the
Crosbyton, Texas transportation providers have indicated the
benefit of such a central facility (see Attachment B and C).
They realize the possible benefits of the transfer facility
and feel that some coordinated dispatching effort from the
transit facility would improve their operation. The facility
as planned would allow room for an additional dispatch person
to be in contact with the rural transit systems and coordinate
the pick up and drop off of passengers. This would permit a
much better utilization of the rural transit provider
resources and a superior coordination effort between the rural
systems and Citibus. The terminal for Texas, New Mexico, &
Oklahoma Coaches (TNM&O), the local over the road transit
provider, is located only four blocks from the downtown area
and could be utilized by their passengers coming in from out
of town that do not have local transportation. The proposed
transfer facility site would be on the route that the TNM&O
buses coming into Lubbock from the north, east and south would
take to travel to their terminal after the Interstate 27
construction is complete. This construction should be
complete about the same time that the construction for the
proposed transfer facility would be completed.
The proposed facility will be located within a block of the
current transfer area (see Attachment A) , therefore there will
not be an increase in route times necessary. Operations will
benefit from the ability of passengers to transfer more
quickly and safely. Operators sometimes have to wait for
buses that have been delayed in traffic so that all passengers
can transfer and complete their trip. This causes a number of
routes to run late at different times of the day. Once the
late buses arrive downtown, there are further delays while
passengers cross one or two streets under traffic to get to
their bus. The design of the proposed transfer facility would
allow for quick efficient transfers. Operators at times have
their field of view obstructed by another vehicle and miss
passengers trying to cross the street to board their bus at
the present transfer area. The design of the proposed
20
transfer facility would also give the operators full view of
passengers deboarding all buses.
During extreme inclement weather, Citibus provides up to two
extra buses downtown for passengers to wait in. This requires
two operators to stay downtown sometimes all day on some
occasions with the buses running to keep them warm.
Operations would definitely be improved by the elimination of
the need for these buses with the construction of the transfer
facility.
Operations would also be improved with the construction of a
transfer facility by providing a safe off-street area for
maintenance to do minor repairs to buses that do not require
replacement and also a much safer place to exchange buses that
have mechanical problems.
Providing restroom facilities in the proposed transfer
facility for operators would improve the safety of Citibus'
operations. Operators will be required to utilize the
facilities at the transfer facility and not stop on route
creating traffic hazards.
LIFE Independent Living Center executive director, Larry
Gardner, believes that the transfer center would make
transportation more accessible for handicapped people in the
Lubbock community (see Attachment L). LIFE works with
handicapped people to find accessible housing, employment and
transportation.
Citibus would also operate the dispatching function out of the
proposed transfer facility. This will not require additional
personnel, only the relocation of the current dispatching
function located at Citibus' office/maintenance facility.
II. Potential Energy Savings and/or Other Benefits:
A. Fixed Route:
Fuel savings would be derived from the estimated 10 to 15
percent increase in passengers utilizing public
transportation because of the increased safety,
convenience and security provided by an indoor transfer
center. Of the estimated one million passengers that
will ride the fixed route in FY 1991, 30 percent will
transfer downtown. The following computations are based
on an anticipated 10 percent increase in passengers, an
estimated trip distance savings for each new passenger of
8 miles, an average of 12 m.p.g for automobiles of the
new passengers, and an estimated price of $1.15 per
gallon of gasoline.
FY 1991 passengers - 1,000,000
FY 1992 passengers - 1,100,000 (10% increase)

It is estimated that 1,000 passengers per year could use
the transfer center via the demand response service. The

C. Extra Buses Downtown During Inclement Weather:
Citibus currently parks two extra buses downtown during
inclement weather for passengers to wait in between 200
and 400 hours a year . The following computations are
based on an average of 300 hours per year required use of
the extra buses and a hourly cost of $20 (variable cost
only).

variable costs X 20
total costs $6,000
D. Coordination With Other Transportation Providers:
It is estimated that 2500 passengers per year could
utilize the transit facility and complete their trip on
the fixed route system. The following computations are
based on an estimated 5 miles reduction per passenger for
22
each passenger trip, an estimated 8 m.p.g for the vans,
and an estimated fuel price of $1.05 for diesel fuel.

E. There are a number of other benefits associated with the
construction of an indoor transit facility. Some of the
benefits have been listed previously. A summarized list
follows:
1. Estimated increase in ridership of 10 percent. The
added convenience and security will influence
current passengers to ride more often and attract
new passengers.
2. There would be increased passenger comfort. This
would influence current passengers to make
additional trips and not postpone trips during
inclement weather that they normally would have.
3. Increased passenger security in the indoor
facility. Passengers would feel safer waiting in
an area manned by Citibus staff, instead of a
street corner, especially during the early morning
and late evening hours.
4. Increased passenger and operator safety by being
able to transfer off the street away from traffic.
23
5. Increased efficiency in route performance with the
ability of passengers to transfer in a more
efficient manner.
6. Increased public safety with the buses parking
offstreet to board and deboard passengers and also
by operators not having to stop on route to use
restroom facilities.
7. The ability of passengers to purchase econocards
and acquire route information at the facility.
S. Such a facility would provide higher visibility for
Citibus and demonstrate the importance of transit
in the community. This is very important with the
increased awareness of oil dependency and the need
for alternative modes of transportation to reduce
this help dependency. The indoor facility would
help attract new transit riders that have not
viewed buses as a transportation alternative.
III. Feasibility:
For a number of years, the private operator of the Lubbock Bus
Company operated an indoor transfer facility in downtown
Lubbock. In the 1950s, the facility was closed and
subsequently ridership levels experienced a sharp and
immediate decline. The private operator, Albert Fortenberry,
has since stated that the closing was the major cause of the
ridership decline and suggested that the construction of
another facility would be an appropriate way to increase
ridership.
In 1981, the transit department conducted a study and
developed recommendations for a transfer facility. The
Transit Advisory Board supported the recommendations and
presented them to the City Council. The City Council
recognized the need, but was unable to fund the facility at
that time and set up a "temporary" transfer area at the
current location with the plan to construct an indoor transfer
facility at a later time.
During FY89, planning firm RTKL conducted a downtown
revitalization plan for the City of Lubbock. Their plan
recognized the need for a transit facility and recommended the
site proposed. Their plan includes a number of downtown
development efforts, all of which would contribute to the
importance of a transfer facility and would help attract new
passengers. The City Council unanimously approved the plan.
As a result of the RTKL plan, a downtown revitalization
committee was formed. The committee, CenterCorp, has over 100
business members and is very active in the acquisition of
funding for a transfer center. They have made numerous
presentations to civic groups concerning the downtown area and
the benefit that a transfer facility would have for Lubbock.
24
As a part of Citibus' FY1990 planning program, LKC Consulting
Services was employed to conduct a comprehensive system
analysis. Part of their requirement was to make
recommendations of ways to increase ridership. Their
recommendations included route modifications and the
construction of an indoor transit facility. They recommended
the downtown area as the site for the transfer facility. In
April 1990, during the comprehensive system analysis, a
boarding and alighting survey along with a passenger survey
was conducted. A transfer matrix for the weekday and the
Saturday surveyed was compiled (see Attachment D and
Attachment E) and resulted in a 34 percent passenger transfer
rate.
Documented below are the fixed route ridership and transfer
figures for the previous four years and the projections for
FY1991:
FY87 FY88 FY89 FY90 FY91
passengers 916,486 901,037 915,165 969,290 1,000,000
transfers 245,647 260,894 261,245 267,628 300,000
Citibus contacted a number of systems that had in the past few
years constructed transfer facilities and their increase in
ridership ranged from 2 percent to 20 percent. More than
likely not all of the increase can be attributed to the new
facility, but an estimate of an increase of 10 percent in an
area that supports the facility such as Lubbock is realistic.
A 10 percent increase in ridership from the FY1991 projection
of 1,000,000 passengers would yield an additional 100,000
passengers. With an average fare of $.48 (current Citibus
average fare), this would result in a $48,000 increase in
revenues.
Approximately 60 percent of all passengers board or deboard at
the current downtown transfer area. This calculates into
about 585,600 passengers in FY1990 and an estimated 600,000
passengers in FY1991. With an increase of 10 percent in
ridership for FY1992, approximately 660,000 would utilize the
new transfer facility.
IV. Plan•
Several sites were analyzed to determine the most appropriate
location for the center. These sites, which were initially
proposed during 1981, when Citibus first began to study the
possibility of a downtown transfer center, were:
Site A - The block bounded by Broadway, Ave. G, 13th Street,
and Ave. H.
Site B - The block bounded by Main Street, Ave. J, Broadway,
and Ave. K.
Site C - The block bounded by Broadway, Ave. J, 13th Street,
and Ave. K.
25
The sites were evaluated based on proximity to the current
transfer location, current land use, and cost of the land.
The costs of alley acquisition and utilities relocation were
constant for each site, and were not considered in the site
analysis.
Proximity to
Current Transfer Estimated
Location Current Use Land Cost
Site A 1 block Vacant Land $ 550,000
Pawn Shop
Tool Shop
Cafe
Site B 4 blocks Attorneys $ 2,500,000
Vacant Bldg.
Misc. Retail
Site C 3 blocks Attorneys $ 1,260,000
Misc. Retail
Vacant Bldg.
Parking Lot
Cafe
Sites B and C are located in a more heavily utilized area of
downtown Lubbock, as the estimated land costs indicate. Both
of these sites are operationally suitable, but it is the
feeling of the City of Lubbock staff that both of these sites
would be more appropriate for an adaptive reuse project which
could utilize the existing structures. This would also help
maintain the design integrity of downtown Lubbock's primary
street, rather than for a project that would require clearing
the site and constructing a new facility. This would be
necessary to provide adequate space for off street bus
parking. Site A, on the other hand, is largely vacant land
and substandard buildings, and any construction on the site
would enhance not only the site itself but the surrounding
downtown as well.
One of the recommendations in RTKL's study was to develop a
major public square for use as a transit center. The site
that was proposed by RTKL was Site A in the previous site
analysis, which is one block to the east of the existing
transfer point. (see proposed site location, Attachment A)
They indicated that the site was the most appropriate location
in downtown for several reasons: Its proximity to the current
transfer point and to the Citibus maintenance and
administrative facility are important for smooth operations of
the system and the physical condition of the site, for the
most part, the site is vacant land, which reduces the costs
for land acquisition and site preparation.
The site is in an area that has declined, although it is
adjacent to the Federal building, the Lubbock County
26
Courthouse, and the Lubbock County jail. For the most part,
the site itself is vacant land, and many of the lots are owned
by Lubbock County (see Attachment

As part of a presentation to the Lubbock Public Transit
Advisory Board on the proposed project, Citibus staff prepared
preliminary sketches. Although done in a very conceptual
manner, the sketches were used to illustrate the possible uses
of the site.
The preliminary site plan included a building for
dispatch/pass sales/route information and indoor passenger
waiting area. The preliminary estimate of total enclosed
square footage is approximately 6,000 square feet. The
climate -controlled passenger waiting area will accommodate
about 150 people and there will be seating for approximately
50 passengers. The preliminary site plan includes a
circulatory path for buses that completely removes them from
the street when they are boarding and deboarding passengers.
From the standpoint of passenger safety and automobile
traffic, this arrangement seems to be most appropriate.
Landscaping and an area for employee parking are also included
in the preliminary site plan. Attachment J illustrates the
preliminary site plan.
The estimated cost to operate the new facility is $25,000 per
year. This includes $20,000 in maintenance and $5,000 in
supplies. Citibus staff is considering a number of
possibilities to fund these additional costs. It would be
possible to charge a transfer fee of $ . 05 or $ .10 and generate
from $15,000 to $30,000. It might also be possible to have
private entities operate small concession facilities and
charge them rent to help pay for the operations cost. The
additional projected revenues of $48,000 would also be enough
to cover the additional cost. Citibus staff and the Transit
Advisory Board will review each option carefully and make the
best decision.
The proposed construction schedule is as follows:
Arch/Eng design
October 1991
Purchase land
October 1991
Demolition
December 1991
Begin construction
January 1992
Complete facility
May 1993
The City of Lubbock has plans to purchase the entire block in
conjunction with their UMTA grant. An appraisal has been done
and is currently being updated. The City of Lubbock will
exercise eminent domain if it becomes necessary.
V. Notice of Public Hearing:
A public hearing was held on February 27, 1991 at the
regularly scheduled Transit Advisory Board meeting. A notice
of the public hearing was published in local newspapers (see
Attachment K for narrative).

VI. Environmental Assessment:
Attachment F illustrates the site's location and adjacent land
uses. None of the buildings on the site, or in the immediate
area could be considered historic, and there are no parks in
the area that would be impacted by development. The site is
not located in or near a wetlands area. The traffic volumes
that are shown in Attachment G are based upon current traffic
levels and projections that were prepared by RTKL. The
projected increases are due to changes in traffic patterns
following completion of I-27, which is approximately five
blocks east of the proposed site. The facility itself will
have little impact on traffic in the area, since the same
number of buses are using the current transfer point. A copy
of Ms. Peggy Crist's (with UMTA) correspondence stating that
the transfer center may qualify as a categorical exclusion in
accordance with Section 771.117 (d) (10) of 49 CFR Part 622:
Environmental Impact and Related Procedures, is enclosed as
Attachment M.
State Oil Overcharge funds in the amount of $370, 000 have been
approved to provide a portion of the local share of the cost
of the Transfer Center.
Two Lift Equipped Replacement vans:
The vehicles will replace two 1986 model lift equipped vans
utilized in Citibus' Demand Response Service. Due to the age,
mileage on the vehicles and present oil consumption, both
vehicles are expected to need transmission and engine
overhauls in the next twelve months. The interior is in need
of extensive repair and the both wheelchair lifts have begun
to require excessive maintenance. One van has 151,500 miles
and the other van has 145,000 miles. Both vans will have
approximately 165,000 miles at time of replacement.

Passenger Amenities:
Shelters and signs are needed along current routes that have
been identified as areas where a high number of passengers
board and deboard the bus. The replacement of some shelters
and signs is also necessary. These are necessary to continue
the current level of service and to encourage and increase
ridership. The implementation of the route expansion will
create the need for additional shelters and signs along the
routes. Proposed shelter and sign locations are as follows:

purchase signs, decals, and post and to install.
Proposed Schedule:
Project Bid October 1991
Award Project December 1991
Begin Installation January 1992
Complete Installation May 1992
Bus Wash Replacement and Repair Parking Area:
This would replace the current bus wash and repair the parking
area surrounding the bus wash. Because of the humid nature of
the bus wash facility, the manufacturer specifies the life
expectancy to be only seven year. The bus wash was installed
in 1981 and Citibus has spent approximately $1,500 yearly to
30
extend its life. The "I" beam supports and the bus wash frame
work are rusted severely and are beyond repair. In the final
report of the Comprehensive System Analysis (a part of the FY
1990 Technical Study), LKC Consulting Services highly
recommended that the facility be replaced to reduce the risk
of major breakdown of the bus wash. The parking surface
surrounding the facility is in need of extensive repair due to
high vehicle traffic. The area is constantly needed to be
patched to fill in potholes. A concrete would help eliminate
these problems. Fleet Maintenance (subcontractor to LKC
Consulting Services during the Comprehensive System Analysis)
estimated the cost of replacement at $150,000. The City of
Lubbock's engineering department estimated the cost to remove
the current asphalt, saw and seal concrete not needed to be
replaced and the construction of a concrete parking surface at
$70,000.
Proposed Schedule:
Project Bid January 1992
Award Project March 1992
Begin Construction May 1992
Complete Construction September 1992
Facility Improvements:
There are four basic improvements requested.
1. The enclosure of the air compressor alcove. This needs
to be enclosed to meet OSHA requirements. The current
box around the compressor does very little to dampen
compressor noise and makes it difficult to access for
maintenance. A concrete block wall with double doors to
provide direct access to compressor is needed.
2. Build a wall for steam area and install lighting. As a
part of the preventative maintenance practice, engines
are steamed cleaned a few days prior to inspection to
locate and repair all leaks. The present steam area is
at the entrance to one of the work bays and in constantly
wet due to the steam cleaning. The construction of a
wall will separate this area and eliminate the slippery
condition.
3. Replace oil drain arms with rolling drain pans. The
current drain arms are leaking and outdated. The leakage
is causing the floor to be slippery around the oil drain
area and a possible dangerous environment. The
replacement with rolling drain pans would provide a
larger target when draining oil and they have a dry break
coupling to prevent drippage.
4. Repair air line manifold in lube room. The manifold
needs to be reconditioned and provided with a lubricator
31
on each pump air inlet. The air line lubricators will
help extend the pump life.

I would like to voice my support for your effort to construct a
transfer facility in Lubbock. I have spoken with you a number of
times in the past about the benefits to Lubbock and the
surrounding area that a central transfer facility would have.
A large percentage of our service is provided for medical trips
to the city of Lubbock. Due to the fact that your system
provides service to most medical facilities in Lubbock, a central
transfer facility would allow us to utilize your fixed route
system for our passengers. The ability to drop of passengers at
one location would permit us to provide more economical service
and be able to service more people. Due to the nature of our
passengers, it is very important that the design of the ffacility
include a sheltered waiting area. Elderly passengers would -need
a place to wait protected from the weather.
As you know it is very important to continually look for ways to
provide more and better service so that we are able to maximize
our limited resources. If I can be of further assistance, feel
free to contact me.

As you know CAP -TRANS operates a Section 1S
Transportation Program in sip: counties. We make regularly
scheduled trips into Lubbock on a weekly basis.
We are very interested in your proposed facility in
Lubbock. At this time we do not have a drop-off or pick-up
location in Lubbock. It would be very helpful to have such a
location in Lubbock. It would serve a need for all our
passengers but .especially Senior citizens.
We do look forward to working with you on this project
and pledge any support 'what- we might have.
