13. REPORT ITEMS
13.1 REPORT - REIMAGINING CITYBUS SERVICE DESIGN GUIDELINES
BACKGROUND: Reimagining CityBus is a comprehensive operational
analysis of the CityBus fixed-route transit system that was initiated in
January 2015. The goal of the Reimagining CityBus project is to create a
blueprint for the build-out of the “ideal” transit system for Santa Rosa that
1) reflects current and future travel patterns, needs, and priorities; 2)
more closely links transit planning with land use planning; and 3)
improves the efficiency, effectiveness, and overall operation of the bus
system.
Phase I of the project included a market analysis and individual route
analysis to provide data to guide and inform the planning process,
including updated information on demographics, land use, travel
patterns, and current transit system performance. It also included a
multi-faceted public outreach effort of stakeholder interviews, a survey
about priorities and trade-offs, planning workshops, solicitation of
comments, outreach to the community at large, outreach to CityBus
riders, outreach to CityBus bus operators and customer service staff, and
staff from other transit operators serving the City of Santa Rosa.
The proposed Service Design Guidelines include a proposed Route
Typology to guide transit service planning, development of service
scenarios that illustrate alternatives for service allocation and include true
productivity-oriented transit service, Principles of Service Design to guide
service planning for the redesign of the CityBus system, and developing
the concept of transit-emphasis corridors in collaboration with other City
staff.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works Department that the Council, by motion, approve the
City of Santa Rosa

proposed Service Design Guidelines for use in transit service planning
for the Reimagining CityBus project, including the proposed Route
Types, inclusion of productivity-oriented services within service
scenarios, the proposed Principles of Service Design, and further
development of the Transit Emphasis Corridors concept.

14.1 PUBLIC HEARING - ANNUAL WEED ABATEMENT PROGRAM

the Council, by resolution, ratify and confirm the itemized report of the
