B. PROPOSED PROJECT:
1. Project Description: In two sentences concisely describe your project. This description will be used
in future publications should your application be approved. Limit two sentences
Citibus is using CDBG funds to offset expenses associated with providing
paratransit services for disabled members of our community.
2. List Goals, Objectives and Outcomes. What outcome are you trying to achieve? Please include the
number of people or households that will directly benefit from the program. How will you measure
the outcomes? Please list at least one output and outcome. LIMO T 1/2 page
Citibus will use any CDBG funds that are awarded from this request to
continue to provide paratransit services; the expenditure of CDBG funds will
relieve the City's General Funds budget. The outcome that we will measure
will be the number of low- and moderate -income passengers who use the
service.
In FY 2004, Citibus carried 64,071 passengers on the paratransit service; we
anticipate a similar number for FY 2006. Because Citibus already captures
this information, measuring outcomes for purposes of reporting on this grant
application will fall in line with normally -reported information.
Citibus routinely captures various statistical information on the paratransit
service; this information includes miles, hours, passenger miles, passengers,
revenue, average weekday passengers, average Saturday passengers, no
shows, and on -time performance. This information is presented monthly to
the Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board and is included in the annual
Technical Study Report. In addition, statistical Information on the paratransit
service is reported as part of the Federally -required National Transit Database
report, which Is prepared and submitted annually by Citibus staff,
3. List Activity Measures/Steps required to obtain Goals and Objectives. Include a one-year Timeline
from planning to completion for each activity measure. Please highlight significant milestones or
steps of your proposed program. LIMIT 1/2 page
Activity Measures/Steps. will include gathering information on the numbers. of
passengers who use the service. The following timeline will be used:
Last quarter- FY 2005 Gather data from clients to certify income -
eligibility.
First quarter - FY 2006 Continue paratransit service' gather and report
numbers of clients In income -eligible groups.
On -going for entire year Gather and report ridership information.
First quarter - FY 2007 Report final FY 2006 numbers

4. Evaluation: Explain how, you plan to evaluate the program. What criteria will you use to measure if
the program is successful? Please be specific and elaborate on the output and outcome that you
listed above. LEtM 1/2 page
Citibus will evaluate this program by the numbers of passengers in the
affected groups who use the service. Because the paratransit program has
been in place for many years, we anticipate that the program will be a
success; in other words, we will continue to provide the service as we have
always provided it The only change will be in collecting information on
income levels or our clients. Another way to measure the success of the
project will be the amount of money we are able to save the City of Lubbock's
general fund — there is a dollar -for -dollar correlation between CDBG funds
used in this project and a reduction in general fund monies that are spent on
Citibus.
C. STRATEGY TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVE FUNDING SOURCES
1. If program is a public service, outline your plan to develop alternative funding to replace Community
Development funds at the end of the three-year cycle. Provide a timeline, with measurable goals and
objectives as a part of your plan.
Citibus continues to seek relief- Federal, state, and city - from its current
funding crisis. Last year, the Public Transportation Strategic Planning Task
Force developed a strategic plan that identified seeking additional funding as
a top goal. The Lubbock City Council supports public transit in Lubbock and
is working to provide funding that meets the needs In our community.
2. If this is your second or third year of funding, update your accomplishments in meeting the goals and
objectives in your funding plan and timeline.
The federal transportation reauthorization bill is currently under debate.
Provisions of this bill will help Citibus with operating funding.
D. PROGRAM INCOME
1. Please list applicant's anticipated program income from this project and detail how applicant will
create a return of investment to the grantor particularly if proposed project includes facilities,
housing, or economic development. LDM 1/2 page
Based on service levels in FY 2004, Citibus anticipates that approximately
$205,000 will be generated in fare revenues for the CNAccess service In FY
2006.
