Priority #: 01 2. Project Title: Bus Stop Pad and ADA-‐Compliant Ramp Installation 3. Project Description: The proposed project includes: a. Constructing six 15’ x 8’ bus stop pads at the following locations: Boys Republic at Peyton Drive; Grand Avenue at City Center Drive; Central Avenue at Fairfield Ranch Road; Bird Farm Road at Monterey Avenue; Pipeline Avenue at Gird Street; and Pipeline Avenue at Clubhouse Way. b. Constructing 15’ x 8’ bus stop pads and ADA ramps at the following locations: Pomona Rincon Road and Picasso Drive (pad + 8 ramps); Peyton Drive and Bulldog Boulevard (pad + 2 ramps); Pipeline Avenue and Village Drive (pad + 2 ramps). c. Constructing a 15’ x 8’ bus stop pad, ADA ramp and 600 square feet of sidewalk at Pipeline Avenue and Glen Ridge Drive. d. Constructing ADA ramps only at the following location: Pipeline Avenue at Valle Vista (2 ramps). Project Need: Before September 2010, Omnitrans in Chino Hills consisted of OmniLink, a dial-‐a-‐ride system, and Route 65, which at the time only served the Los Serranos neighborhood. In September 2010, Omnitrans introduced OmniGo Route 365 to Chino Hills. OmniGo Route 365 (commonly referred to as OmniGo Chino Hills) is a community circulator that augmented and partially replaced the previous dial-‐a-‐ride system. OmniGo is a traditional fixed-‐route service (bus stops, published route, published time table) compared to OmniLink, which was a shared rider reservation-‐based service. At the same time that OmniGo was added, Omnitrans restructured one of their regular routes (Route 65) to serve the Chino Hills Civic Center area (adjacent to the proposed project area) while before it only briefly served parts of Chino Hills in the Los Serranos neighborhood. Since September 2010, 64 bus stops have been added in the City. Since its inception, OmniGo (Route 365) ridership has risen dramatically. In FY 2010 Omnilink and OmniGo combined ridership was approximately 12,520. In 2012 it had more than tripled, rising to approximately 54,344. Additionally, the routes in Chino Hills are heavily used by students, more so than other routes in the Omnitrans system. The routes in Chino Hills have been modified to add trippers to serve Chino Hills High School and Townsend Junior High in addition to the routes the school had already served (Ayala High School and Chaffey College Chino Campus). Omnitrans routes have seen City of Chino Hills Bus Stop Pad Construction & ADA Compliant Ramp Installation 3 | Page tremendous growth in student ridership growing, from 7% of ridership in FY2007 to 19.8% in FY2013. In order to continue this increase in ridership, the City of Chino Hills would like to install bus stop pads at the above noted 11 bus stops. Omnitrans will then provide shelters and benches free of charge to the City (shelters will have advertising). Providing bus stop pads, benches and shelters will make the bus stops more accessible to riders, and will provide a clean place to sit or stand, and shelter from the sun, wind and rain. While many of the bus stop locations are already accessible with existing sidewalk curb ramps, new ADA regulations now require modified slopes and the addition of truncated domes for easier accessibility by blind and/or wheelchair-‐bound individuals. This project will bring all 11 bus stop locations into full ADA compliance. These bus stops represent 17% of Omnitrans bus stops in the City of Chino Hills.

Relationship to 2011 NMTP (Non-‐Motorized Transportation Plan) projects, if any: The ADA ramp improvements will be conducted at several locations that are part of, or connect to, the 2011 NMTP City of Chino Hills Local Jurisdiction Plan (Pg 5-‐29 of 2011 NMTP). Specifically, improvements will connect in with the City’s Class II bike infrastructure plan at Fairfield Ranch Road, Peyton Drive, and Pipeline Avenue. 10. Listing of Generators and Attractors Served: The primary generators and attractors for the 11 bus stops on this route are as follows: The Shoppes at Chino Hills (with over 100 retail and restaurant establishments); U.S. Post Office; Civic Center; City Hall; Chino Hills Police Department; Chino Hills Finance Department; Chino Hills Library; a variety of churches; Chino Hills High School; Ruben S. Ayala High School; Chaparral Elementary School; Glenmeade Elementary School; Glenmeade Park; Fairfield Ranch Park; Chino Hills Skate Park; Hickory Creek Park; Cinnamon Park; Lake Los Serranos Club; Woodview Plaza; U.S. Health Works Medical Group; Roettele Industries; Barnes and Noble; and Wells Fargo Bank. 11.

Based on formulas created by Omnitrans we have been able to calculate that paratransit cost avoidance is estimated to be $29,600. Overall cost effectiveness of the project based on Boardings/Alightings stands at $504 per person.

These funds were awarded to Chino Hills in 2007 to demarcate bicycle lanes through striping, stenciling and signage on Grand Avenue and Chino Hills Parkway. Construction began on Grand Avenue July 2008 and was successfully completed October 2008. Construction began on Chino Hills Parkway March 2009 and was successfully completed April 2009. ü $51,591 from SANBAG, TDA Article 3. These funds were awarded to Chino Hills in 2011 to replace or install 28 sidewalk curb ramps at exiting Omnitrans bus stop locations. The project also included constructing curb and gutter improvements and sidewalks. This project was completed on time in the Summer of 2012. ü $216,800 from the Environmental Protection Agency’s State and Tribal Assistance Grant Program. These funds were awarded in August 2004. The funds were awarded for storm water infrastructure design on the English Channel. The last invoice for reimbursement was dated April 10, 2010. ü $5.628 million from the Federal Highway Administration. These funds were awarded within the High Priority Projects category in the reauthorization of the national transportation bill entitled SAFETEA-‐LU. The City is using the funds for the Peyton Drive Widening project. Construction is expected to begin in early September 2013. The City has a full-‐service Engineering Division that includes a department devoted to capital improvements and land development projects. The department is staffed by the City Engineer, Assistant City Engineer, two Assistant/Associate Engineers, one Engineering Technician, and one Administrative Technician.
