INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Fort Worth City Council and its advisory group, the Public Transportation Advisory Committee (PTAC) has worked diligently to develop a new approach to funding public transportation within the City of Fort Worth. This approach has been in development for a number of years. The PTAC (which provides the City Council with advice on transportation related matters) studied alternative financing methods in the fall of 1981. Through an intensive three-month study of 20 potential funding options, PTAC recommended to the City Council that Fort Worth's public transportation system be funded by user fees and a transportation authority with a limited sales tax. The State of Texas, through Article 1118y, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, as amended, authorizes the creation of regional transportation authorities and provides for the governance of the authority and powers it may exercise. Article 1118y charges the Interim Executive Committee of the Authority with the development of a service plan and the recommendation of a limited local sales and use tax rate. f For Worth is named the Fort Worth established in the City o t The Authority y Transportation Authority (FWTA) and is governed as provided in Article 1118y by its Interim Executive Committee. The Interim Executive Committee consists of the members of the Fort Worth City Council (list attached in Table I-1.) Following the procedures outlined in Article 1118y, the Interim Executive Committee was duly authorized and appointed by the Fort Worth City Council, the Tarrant County Commissioner's Court and the City of Arlington. The Interim Executive Committee has been meeting since August 3, 1982 to develop I-1 TABLE 1-1 Interim Executive Committee Members Fort Worth Transportation Authority Mayor Bob Bolen Councilman Louis J. Zapata Councilman Dwaine Johnson Councilman Russell Lancaster Councilman Bert C. Williams Councilwoman Kathy Wetherby Councilman Richard C. Newkirk Councilman Jim A. Bagsby Mayor Pro-Tem Herman F. Stute 1-2 a service plan and rate of tax for presentation to the voters. In addition, a number of public meetings seeking citizen comment on public transportation plans have been held. During the initial stage of creating the Interim Authority, each local jurisdiction in the Tarrant County area was given the opportunity of joining in the planning process. No other governmental entity within the Tarrant County area chose to participate in this effort. For that reason, the area of jurisdiction of FWTA is limited to the city limits of the City of Fort Worth. PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT Article 1118y requires the Interim Executive Committee develop a Service Plan and desired rate of local limited sales tax to support implementation of the plan. Upon completion of these tasks, the Committee must then submit the plan and rate of tax to the Fort Worth City Council for approval. The tax rate must also be approved by the Tarrant County Commissioner's Court. These jurisdictions must take positive action on or before September 30, 1983 and notify the Interim Executive Committee of FWTA by passage of a resolution or an ordinance approving the service plan and sales tax rate. Following these actions, the Interim Executive Committee will finally approve the Service Plan and submit it to the voters in Fort Worth in a November 8, 1983 confirmation election. The Service Plan is included as Chapter III of this document. All other chapters are provided as background information and documentation for explanatory purposes. I-3 is �G. !k II. SERVICE PLAN DEVELOPMENT I PROCESS The Service Plan of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority attempts to continue funding for the current level of public transportation service in Fort worth with modest needed improvements projected based on demand. Its aim is to establish a firm funding base for public transportation within the city of Fort Worth. The Service Plan is consistent with the history of public transportation in Fort Worth since 1972 when the city first purchased the �i system. Through the years the Public Transportation Advisory* Committee and ,ry City Council have adjusted and improved service to meet the demands of its i citizens. PTAC on a regular basis recommends service adjustments to serve demand as necessary. These recommendations have been incorporated in the Service Plan. In addition, the Interim Executive Committee gave staff initial guidelines for Service Plan development on June 28, 1983. These guidelines were adhered to in the Service Plan and developed based on staff expertise, PTAC discussion and citizen involvement. Seven public meetings were held between July 18, 1983 and August 4, 1983 to receive citizen input. These �z meetings produced numerous suggestions for service adjustments and enhancements. These are incorporated in the Service Plan. on August 9, 1983 1. the Interim Executive Committee met to discuss the initial service plan and recommend adjustments to staff. This discussion and these adjustments have also been incorporated in the plan that follows. F r s ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION FWTA effort has been staffed by the existing municipal and CITRAN staff. Funding for development of the Service Plan has been provided by the City of Fort Worth. k 1 z A comprehensive analysis and evaluation process was followed in development of the Service Plan. Coupled with the citizen involvement described above, the process produced the detail that follows. A five year planning horizon was chosen for the analysis. The first step in the analysis was to project the revenues and expenses for the continuation of the current level of transit service in Fort Worth through 1988. For purposes of the Service Plan public transportation services were defined to include; CITRAN (the fixed route transit service,) HITS, (the Mobility Impaired Transportation Service,) and the Rideshare and Vanpool programs under the auspices of TSIC, (the Transportation Services Information Center.) The analysis was then augmented by projecting public transportation service demand based on increases in population and employment through 1988. Utilizing a computer model previously applied in the alternatives analysis study in the southwest corridor of Fort Worth, anticipated passenger demand 4; for the existing route network was projected. The model predicts how transit demand will increase on existing routes based on projected increases in employment and population in the geographic area served by the routes. The results suggest that demand for transit services on the existing network will increase approximately 20% during the course of the Service Plan. Over the a same period, it is expected that ridership on the transit system will increase 22.5% while the number of buses needed for rush hour service will increase to 127 (a 29.6% increase.) In addition to this added demand for existing services , it was necessary to N r project where new services would be required to complement residential and employment development not on the existing route network. This was done I I-2 K f s z utilizing staff experience, citizen requests for expanded service, and an estimation of demand in areas within the city limits that are currently developing but are unserved by transit. In addition, the input received at the seven public meetings held in July and August was considered. This analysis was performed for all public transportation modes in the city. Within the policy guidance established by the Interim Executive Committee, emphasis was placed on the cost effective and productive operation of fixed 9 route transit service, needed expansion of the elderly and handicapped van service and increased reliance on self sufficient vanpools and user sponsored ridesharing programs. GOALS The Interim Executive Committee carefully considered and adopted a set of goals for framing the Service Plan. These goals were drawn from the historic 1:- development of the public transportation system, previously adopted goals, citizen input and discussion and recommendation by the Public Transportation H Advisory Committee. I The goals that guide this Service Plan and the management and operation of the transit authority are as follows: 1 . To encourage utilization of the public transportation services. 2. To provide the most cost-effective forms of public transportation service. A 3. A public transportation system that provides a level of service needed i. in our community. 4. To replace the property tax as a source of tax support for public transportation service. II-3 z, �I III. SERVICE PLAN LEGAL SIGNIFICANCE OF SERVICE PLAN This chapter provides the official FWTA Service Plan, initially adopted by the FWTA Interim Executive Committee on August 16, 1983. The Service Plan is defined in the enabling statute, Article 1118y, Sec. 2. Definitions sub-section 13 as "An outline of the service that would be provided by the Authority to those units of election confirming the Authority in an election". Article 1118y, Sec. 9(a), requires that the City of Fort Worth by its City Council pass a resolution approving the service plan and rate of tax in order for it to participate in the confirming election. In addition, Article 1118y, Sec. 12, requires approval by the Tarrant County Commissioners Court of the rate of tax before the confirmation election. Section 9(b) provides that the service plan that is considered by the local governing bodies will not be changed except for modifications . . .to reflect the non-participation of certain cities or unincorporated areas in the service plan". This chapter represents the Service Plan adopted by the Interim Executive Committee for local consideration. The Fort Worth City Council's approval of the Service Plan and tax rate and the Tarrant County Commissioners Court's approval of the tax rate will include the City of Fort Worth in the November 8, 1983 election on the question of establishing FWTA as a permanent e authority and approving a local limited sales and use tax to support it. r 6. III-1 OVERVIEW The Service Plan that follows is a comprehensive development of public i { transportation services within the City of Fort Worth for a five year period. The five year time frame was chosen because it represents a normally accepted period of time over which reasonable estimates of transit demand, operating revenues, and expenses can be made. FWTA will participate in the local and i regional transportation planning process, just as the City of Fort Worth has in previous years. This will assure sound development of public transportation over the long term in addition to the short term development detailed in the Service Plan. The format of the Service Plan was developed for ease of reference. It contains a detailed description of fixed route transit services divided by quadrant of the city specified by route. The years 1984, 1986, and 1988 were chosen to give a snapshot view of what the I system would look like. It is not meant to suggest that there would be no service development in the years not shown. Service changes will occur in those years and can be measured in aggregate by review of Table III-1 showing increases in the miles of service provided. Maps are also included for 1984 and 1988 to illustrate the total development of fixed route transit services. Separate detailed descriptions for the elderly and handicapped van service and the ridesharing and vanpool programs are also provided. In general, the Service Plan is g guided by the goals and policies established by the Interim Executive Committee. These goals and policies would become the guidance for the permanent authority board if it is confirmed in the election on November 8, 1983. The service plan modestly develops and improves public transportation service provided in Fort Worth. It assures continuance of the III-2 r. Al current level of service with a sound funding base. Overall, service is increased approximately 30% by 1988. Over the same period, ridership increases over 60% while costs due to inflation and expanded service increase almost I 70%. Fifteen new bus routes are added by 1988 and capital purchases necessary to support replacement and expansion needs are provided. The elderly and r handicapped van service currently known as MITS, is improved by extending its hours of operation, reducing waiting time for trips and providing additional trips for special events and charter needs. The Rideshare and Vanpool program is strengthened by increasing the number of ridesharing participants , i maintaining the current fee structure, and significantly expanding the self-sufficient vanpool program.

RATE OF LIMITED LOCAL SALES AND USE TAX STATUTORY DESCRIPTION OF THE TAX A local limited sales and use tax provides the funding source for the service to be provided by FWTA. The rates of tax permitted by Article 1118y are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 percent. Because FWTA attempts only to meet proven transit demand with a prudent and reasonable Service Plan, the maximum rate of tax was not necessary. The rate of tax chosen reflects FWTA°s attempt to cost-effectively manage provision of public transportation service so as to minimize public cost. The Interim Executive Committee adopted a resolution on August 16, 1983, officially setting the sales tax rate at 1/4 of 1% until December 31, 1988, and acquiring the authority to increase it to 1/2 of 1% beginning no earlier than January 1, 1989. Because of the provisions of Article 1118y, only 1/4 of 1% will be collected for the first five years of the Authority. The permanent FWTA board will have the authority to increase the rate to 1/2 of 1% should demand require it after January 1, 1989. Nothing in the legislation requires { an increase in the rate on that date and it is possible that prudent fiscal management could delay an increase in the rate beyond 1989. This approach was chosen in order to spare the citizens the expense of a subsequent transit authority election in the near future. IV - 1 j� SOLUTION" i OF THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE FORT WORTH TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY WHEREAS, the Interim Executive Committee of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority has evaluated the existing public transportation system and the anticipated need for future transit services; and WHEREAS, the Interim Executive Committee of FWTA desires to establish a permanent and stable funding source for public transportation in the City of Fort Worth; and WHEREAS, a funding source through a limited sales and use fax will benefit the city by removing public transportation services from funding by a property tax; and WHEREAS, a service plan has been designed to prudently meet the demand for public transportation services in FortWorth; and I WHEREAS, the Service Plan t,.ill require a sales and use tax in the amount not to exceed 1/2 of 1% in order to be fiscally sound. NOW, TH.SREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Interim Executive Committee of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority: that 1. The Committee adopts the rate of limited local sales and use tax to support the Authority of 1/4 of 1% until December 31, 1988, and a rate not to exceed 1/2 of 1% thereafter. 2. That the Committee directs this rate of tax be included in the Service Plan to be sent to the City of Fort Worth and the Tarrant County i Commissioners Court for consideration.

FINANCIAL PLAN The Iterim Executive Committee of FWTA has carefully evaluated its ability to operate the Service Plan within the limits of available revenue. The operating and capital budget that follows (Table V-1) considers the following® 1. The annual cost for capital and operating expenses for the system over the life of the Service Plan . 2. The amount of system y generated revenues available to the. Authority. 3. The availability of non-local capital and operating assistance for FWTA. 4. The amount of local funds needed to finance the Authority to the extent that expenses exceeds system revenues in any given year. Table V-1 presents a detailed capital and operating budget for FWTA. Table V-2 shows anticipated sales tax receipts for the first five years of the Authority at 1/4 of 1 percent.

CONCLUSION The Fort Worth Transportation Authority represents a significant improvement in the provision and funding of public transportation services for the City of Fort Worth. Through the Service Plan described in this document, public transportation services are responsibly developed to meet existing and future demand. As Fort Worth grows in population and employment, additional transit services will be needed to maintain an acceptable quality of life and mobility. The services provided by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority will keep our community a vibrant place to work and live. Fiscally conservative but prudently developed, the plan is consistent with the character of Fort Worth. On the funding side, the Fort Worth Transporation Authority solves a pressing financial problem. The property taxes of the City of Fort Worth can no longer bear all of the services demanded by its citizens. In order to continue to provide high quality services additional local funding sources must be found. The limited sales and use tax implemented by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority provides this relief for property owners in a fair and equitable way to all citizens. The sales tax, while providing a stable and renewable source of funding for development of public transportation, has several advantages over a property tax. It is an equitable tax which will be paid not only by residents but also by visitors. It is a tax that is shared by all: residents, non-residents, homeowners, renters, businesses and private citizens. It does not create an undue burden because it is not charged on essentials such as food and medicine. On an annualized basis most people will pay less in sales tax for public transportation service than they would if it were paid from property taxes. VII-1 The Fort Worth Transportation Authority effort is tailored to the needs and demands of the City of Fort Worth® It is radically different from previously unsuccessful efforts in the region and the current effort recently undertaken in Dallas® FWTA will be only for the City of Fort Worth® It is not tied to any countywide or regionwide effort® The board members will be elected City Council members® There will be no new government agency since the existing staff will manage the services provided® FWTA has a Service Plan that continues and modestly expands public transportation services based on realistic expectations of demand® It does not include unrelated services such as general aviation and ambulances nor any extremely expensive futuristic transit services that are not needed in Fort Worth® FWTA is a relatively simple and practical way to cope with today's financial problems in a fair and equitable way and assure the continued provision of quality public transportation service for Fort Worth.
