UCSF Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC)RecommendationsFY 07-083-6-07
TAC Guiding Principles 1. Campus shuttle services should interconnect “primary” campus sites. 2. Permit and Public parking rates comparable to and competitive with similar local health-care institutions. 3.Parking user fees based on operating costs, establishing reserves for: equipment replacement, major maintenance, facility repair, non-primary shuttle service, and provision for building new facilities.
TAC - Recommended Fiscal Principles Shuttle services are a CORE SERVICE - Should be funded, or supplemented, through campus budget process • 5. Parking is an AUXILIARY SERVICE - Should be self supporting
TAC - Long Term Recommendations (partial) Provide for frequent and direct transit between each major campus site with a 20-25 minute travel times and 15 to 20 minute departures. 2. Upon completion of the Third Street lightrail, discontinue UCSF transit link service to UCSF Mission Bay.

Upcoming Changes & Considerations 3rd St. lightrail service to Mission Bay begins April 2007; service to Mission Bay provided every 10-12 minutes. Shuttle subsidies of approx. $100K annually from the local Air District discontinued once 3rd St. lightrail begins. New UCSF buildings south of Mission Bay come on line in 2008. 4. Lease hold at China Basin continues and population grows to 800+.
Committee Recommendations 1.) Discontinue BART connector shuttle services when MUNI 3rd St. lightrail comes on line April 2007. • Powell St. BART/Mission Bay • Mission Bay Weekend Shuttle Reroute • 24th St. BART/SFGH • 16th St. BART/Mission Bay 2.) Consolidate 3 routes into one (east-west corridor service) and fold China Basin into newly configured service.
Committee Recommendations 3.) Resource Reallocation: • Develop shuttle service for new campus expansion south-of-Mission Bay. • Support small incremental staffing level increase to support expanded core service. 4.) Continue $600K fund subsidy for core shuttle service. 5.) Increase permit parking rates 5% from from $101 to $106 a month.
Total Savings:(Discontinued Shuttle Service) $415,000 x 80% = $332,000 (less $100K grant funding) ($100,000) Net Savings = $232,000 Reallocated Uses: • South Mission Bay Shuttle/Mitigating Measures for Transition Plan = $190,000 • Additional BU Drivers = $ 42,000 Total Reallocation = $232,000 Savings Reallocation
