Since September 2010, First Transit has been operating the transit system under contract to the YMPO.
They were successful in receiving a three year contract with two one year options after a competitive
request for proposals process initiated by YMPO in May of 2011. They also operate Valley Metro and
Imperial Valley Transit which is nearby to Yuma County.
The Team is lead by Rachel Harris, Jose Camero and Fernando Mena with corporate support from Nick
Promponas, Eric Estell and Jessie Roach.

What is the Yuma County Intergovernmental Public Transportation
Authority?
Under Arizona Revised Statutes - Title 28 Transportation, an intergovernmental public transportation
authority may be organized in any county in Arizona with a population of two hundred thousand
persons or less. Besides the YCIPTA, the Coconino and Yavapai Counties; the City of Flagstaff, and
Northern Arizona University formed the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation
Authority (NAIPTA) to assume public transit services from the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County
which unified and coordinated public transit services in this region.
The YCIPTA is an IPTA that was formed on December 13, 2010 by the Yuma County Board of
Supervisors to administer, plan, operate and maintain public transit services throughout Yuma
County, including within the political jurisdictional boundaries of the Cities of Yuma, San Luis,
Somerton, Town of Wellton and the unincorporated Yuma County areas.
On September 21, 2010, the Town of Wellton and City of Somerton passed a resolution to petition
the County to form the IPTA. On October 3 and 20, 2010 respectively, the Cities of San Luis and Yuma
passed a resolution to petition the County to form the IPTA. On December 6, 2010, Northern Arizona
University petitioned the County to join the IPTA. On December 13, 2010, the County held a public
hearing and approved the formation of the IPTA. On January 24, 2011, the Yuma County
Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (YCIPTA) held its first Board of Directors meeting.
Arizona Western College, Quechan Indian Tribe and Cocopah Indian Tribe has since joined YCIPTA.

The Situation
Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) has struggled in a stable funding source to fund its
transit operations, as the funding has previously been dependent on the following
sources:
•Local Match Funding from municipalities
•Former Local Transportation Assistance Fund (LTAF I and LTAF II)
•Fares
•Advertising, In-Kind Support, Miscellaneous Revenues
•Federal Transit Assistance through ISETEA, TEA-21, SAFETEA-LU and MAP-21
•Private contributions
Due to significant flucations of transit funding dating back to 1999 when Greater Yuma
Area Dial-A-Ride and Valley Transit first started, YMPO has been forced to restructure,
reduce and at times, consider transit service elimination in 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2010.
Today, YCAT funding is solely dependent on the ability that it’s member agencies can
contribute. This can result in radical changes to service delivery on a fiscal year by fiscal
year basis. YCAT today is only able to afford 33,044 revenue vehicle service hours (RVSH)
for the fixed route system and 3,208 RVSH for the dial-a-ride system. Any growth would
require additional contributions from member agencies.
Page 15
Solutions to Date
1. Seek Alternative Funding Sources: YCIPTA has been successful to establish
partnerships with Arizona Western College, University of Arizona and Northern
Arizona University to fund all students, employees and facility to ride YCAT for free
based on a $5.00 fee. This program was expanded to Aztec High School, Yuma
Private Industry Council and SMILE at a $45.00 per semester rate, per student and
employee. Yuma Regional Medical Center will come online starting March 1, 2013.
2. Pursue Other Business Strategies: YCIPTA is striving to operate transit similar to a
private business and not a government subsidized operation. Innovations include
selling Greyhound and Amtrak tickets as their agent, selling Yuma Sun & IV Press
newspapers on the buses, selling advertisements on the buses, website, bus shelters,
bus benches and inside the Rider’s Guide
3. Restructure the Transit System: YCIPTA is looking at the route structure and making
changes to operate buses where demand warrants public transit. Ensuring that all
trip generators are served and establishing hours during the core demand periods.
This restructuring resulted in a reduction in service miles, reallocation of service
hours from Saturday to weekdays and improved frequencies. The changes to date
has improve systemwide productivity.
4. Adjust Fares: In order to increase ridership and revenue in volume (Walmart
philosophy), YCIPTA simplied and streamlined fares and offer value pricing for those
that purchase passes in long range increments.
Page 16
Future Funding Scenarios
•
•
•
•
•
•
A potential reliable funding source for YCAT is the establishment of a transit dedicated sales tax
which would be applied to certain transactions within the County, applied similarly to current
county-wide sale taxes for the Health District. Such a tax collection would be submitted to
voters approval.
YCIPTA is studying taxes of 1/10 of a percent sales tax (0.10%) and 1/5 of a percent sales tax
(0.20%)
YCIPTA is using Rural FTA Section 5311 funding for rural transit operations.
As shown in Table 79, revenues collected from such sales taxes are estimated to $2.240 million
with 1/10 of a percent sales tax and $4.480 million with 1/5 of a percent sales tax.
It is anticipated that this sales tax will eliminate local contributions from municipalities.
MAP-21 provides $1.6 million in Federal funding to the Yuma Urbanized Area.
Page 17
Implementation of a Transportation Sales Excise Tax
•
•
•
•
•
•
In order to establish a transportation sales excise tax, the qualified electors voting at a
countywide election shall approve the tax as placed by Yuma County.
In counties with a population of four hundred thousand or fewer persons, the funds shall
be deposited in the public transportation authority fund pursuant to section 28-9142.
The board of supervisors of a county with a population of four hundred thousand or
fewer persons may establish a regional transportation authority (RTA) in the county.
A RTA is a public, political, tax levying public improvement and taxing subdivision of this
state and a municipal corporation.
The membership of the authority consists of each municipality in the county, the county
and any other members of the regional council of governments. The authority may
operate in all areas of the county in which it is organized. The executive director of the
regional council of governments (YMPO) acts as the executive director of the authority
and serves in that specific role until replaced at the discretion of the board of the
regional council of governments. The government of the authority is vested in a board of
directors composed of the members of the regional council of governments with one
vote each when determining transportation policy as the regional transportation
authority.
If a RTA is not formed, a general transaction privilege sales tax would be passed by the
Board of Supervisors and managed through Yuma County as defined in ARS 42-6103.
Page 18
Implementation of a Transportation Sales Excise Tax
•
•
•
The tax is only available for a 20 year period and must be renewed at the end of the period. A
Transportation Expenditure Plan must be created.
Other communities with transit taxes in Arizona include: Flagstaff (2.95%) (pass-through to
NAIPTA), Maricopa County (1/2 cent) (used by Valley Metro RPTA), Phoenix (4/10th percent)
(used by Phoenix Public Transit), Tempe (1/2 cent) (used by Tempe in Motion), Mesa (Quality
of Life Tax, small % for transit), Scottsdale (1.2% ) (used for Scottsdale Transit Programs),
Glendale (1/2 cent) (used for Glendale Transit Programs), Peoria (3/10th percent) (used for
transportation projects and programs in Peoria) and Pima County (1/2 cent) (used for
transportation project and programs in Pima County. All taxes have a 20 year sunset date
except Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale and Tempe.
A transportation excise tax* is assessed in six major categories:
– Retail Sales
– Contracting
– Utilities
– Restaurant & Bar
– Rental of Real Property
– Rental of Personal Property
*Grocery and pharmaceutical items are tax-exempt.
Page 19
Transition of Transit to YCIPTA
On August 11, 2011, the Yuma Metropolitan Planning Organization adopted a
resolution stating that they intend to transfer transit operations to the Transportation
Authority. The goal to implement this transition is June 30, 2012. This is when the
triennial period for YMPO ends and when the Transportation Authority can apply for a
new FTA grant upon receiving FTA grantee status.
As of 7/1/2012, the transit system has transitioned to YCIPTA from YMPO.
Planning For The Future
•Prepare a Five Year Transit Plan
•Prepare Bus Stop Standards
•Purchase a new maintenance facility
•Restore the Hotel Del Sol as the new multimodal transit
center
•Prepare for a transit sales tax
•Replace transit buses
•Implement YCAT Vanpool
•Continue to evaluate and fine tune transit services
•Collaborate with other agencies such as ADOT, YMPO, ICTC


Usually multiple attempts before a


Outcome often more influenced by
other issues (the economy,
government interest, etc.) than
support for public transit

All local elections identified were
“all or nothing” propositions
Page 52
Elections Summary
Lessons Learned

Can succeed as stand-alone or in
combination with highway
proposition

The most successful campaigns
had grassroots support and
professional management

Many well-financed, well-endorsed
tax initiatives fail due to
grassroots opposition
VOTE
Page 53
Elections Summary
Lessons Learned

VOTE
Successful transit election is more
likely if:
– Specific projects are linked with the
funding request
– Proposition is focused at the shortterm and immediate time frames
Page 54
Elections Summary
Lessons Learned

Most transit elections usually are
close because a relatively small
number of direct constituencies
benefit from the tax

Eventually, every urban area that
has attempted to pass dedicated
transit revenue has succeeded
on the second or third attempt

Welcome
When you think of transit, you probably think of buses. But, in reality, transit is a
connector, linking people and places in our community…
o A bridge to employment.
o The road to education for thousands of students.
o Personal freedom for a person with a disability who can’t drive. A ride to work for
someone who can’t afford a car.
o A social network for an older adult.
o The environmentally responsible way to get from Point A to Point B
without driving.
The Yuma County Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority takes its
responsibility to the community very seriously. About half of the 300,000 annual rides
provided on Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) connect people to jobs. More people on
buses means fewer car trips and better air quality for everyone. A thousand students,
older adults, and people with disabilities depend on YCAT every day.
It is the desires of the YCIPTA Board of Directors and staff have spent the past several
months looking critically at how we serve the community and how we can better meet the
needs of a growing region. The result will be YCIPTA Strategic Plan, which represents the
foundational steps that we are taking to set a new and more regional direction for the
future of this organization. This plan is our road map to a new and more robust transit
system for Yuma County.
We invite you to join us on this journey. It’s going to be an exhilarating ride!
Sincerely,
John Andoh
Transit Director

13 | P a g e
Page 82
1.
Fiscal Sustainability
GOAL:
Maintain fiscal responsibility to ensure the financial sustainability of
existing and new transit services.
To continue to provide high-quality affordable transit services, YCIPTA must maintain its
financial stability. To maintain existing transit services it must operate within the limits of
current funding sources. As it investigates the feasibility of offering new and/or expanding
existing programs, it must explore new funding sources while minimizing YCIPTA’
exposure to financial risk. For this reason, assessing the feasibility of new projects must
include the projected financial impacts on the rest of the organization. Financial
sustainability also suggests the need to establish financial reserves to address different
contingencies that may arise in the future.

Operational Excellence
GOAL:
Ensure that transit in Yuma County is operating safely, effectively, efficiently
thus improving the economic vitality of the community.
To the extent that transit can successfully reduce congestion, improve air quality, and
enhance mobility for the individual commuter, it contributes to both the real and perceived
quality of life within a community. As regions and individual communities compete to
attract new businesses and workers, while retaining their existing economic base, the
presence of a smooth and efficient local transit network becomes a vital community and
economic development tool.
Working pro-actively to anticipate future growth patterns, YCIPTA can more effectively
facilitate the integration of transit into future land use development. Asking each city how
transit can fit into the future vision of their city can facilitate the development of more
transit-friendly communities, while also contributing directly to the economic development
plans of these cities. YCIPTA can then tailor routes and services to support the
development vision of each city, rather than provide one standard solution for all cities. At
the same time, it can work with these cities to encourage the design and development of
communities that make transit a more attractive choice for commuters. In the near-term, it
can also re-configure routes and services in response to current densities and ridership
demand, rather than provide geographic area wide coverage regardless of need.
Furthermore, working in conjunction with First Transit, YCIPTA can position YCAT to be
viewed a safe, convenient efficient and effective way to travel through employee training,
development and a strong emphasis on safety.
 Focus on safety and customer satisfaction
o Assess current safety and customer programs to identify strengths and
weaknesses
o Recruit employees with system safety skill sets
o Provide training to enhance safety and customer service skills
 Benchmark and meet performance goals
o Create a work team to develop operational goals, metrics and reporting in
accordance with MAP-21 requirements
o Research, establish, and implement industry best practices
o Develop an annual process to review and set operational goals
 Leverage technology to improve service
o Implement AVL to make real-time bus information available to customers
o Implement new farebox technology systemwide
 Establish a culture of inclusion
o Implement a comprehensive employee involvement strategy
o Develop an outreach program that creates increased procurement outcomes
o Collaborate with other Arizona transit systems and chambers of commerce
to create outcomes for DBEs, MBEs, WBEs, SBEs, and disability-owned
businesses
o Develop goals, tracking mechanisms, and reporting for DBE expenditures
o Assure that DBE policies are understood by all stakeholder
15 | P a g e
Page 84

Become an employer of choice (First Transit and YCIPTA)
o Assess organizational training and development needs
o Offer online and classroom training and development programs to foster a
skilled workforce
o Recognize and reward performance
Desired Outcome

3.
Ridership Growth
GOAL:
Increase ridership to fully attain community benefits achieved through
optimum utilization of the transit system
Attracting more riders to transit will help to better manage congestion, improve air quality
and increase the public’s return on investment in transit facilities and operations. As a
goal, an increase in transit ridership is viewed as critical means for achieving these and
other important community purposes, rather than an end in of itself. This perspective
comes from understanding that transit services are provided as a way to help solve
problems and address issues that would be significantly harder to resolve if these services
were not available. It also requires placing the transit services offered by YCIPTA within
the larger context of the overall regional transportation system, whose effective and
efficient performance is the ultimate objective, rather than that of transit alone.
Bringing about an increase in transit ridership will require improving existing services while
also exploring the feasibility of providing new and different services. This approach is
intended both to appeal to the current ridership while also developing and packaging new
services to attract additional riders. This requires better understanding of the commuting
needs of the public, including new residents, while also working closely with local cities to
anticipate future growth patterns and determine how transit fits into their future
development plans. Ultimately, YCIPTA will strive to meet future growth needs of Yuma

Community Engagement
GOAL:
Improve visibility, image and awareness of YCIPTA.
A re-invigorated marketing and public awareness program is seen as an essential part of
the effort to increase transit ridership. This marketing program will be designed to raise
overall public awareness of YCIPTA while also improving the image of transit in general. It
will do this by positioning the transit experience as a positive one for both the individual
commuter and the community at large. This effort to improve the perception of transit will
enable YCIPTA to reach out to the discretionary transit rider, while also enhancing the
experience of the transit dependent. Reinforcing the image of transit as an approachable,
inviting, and reliable form of transportation will also complement and support other key
strategic goals.
In this regard, creating a memorable brand that promotes a positive image for YCIPTA,
one that conveys YCIPTA as an important solution for people living and working in Yuma
County, is an essential step. It will also be important for all who work at YCIPTA to live up
to this new image and the heightened visibility it is intended to generate. For this reason,
the message conveyed by the brand image must be consistent with the mission, values
and vision of YCIPTA and permeate throughout the organization.

Organizational Effectiveness
GOAL:
Strengthen organizational capabilities and resources to improve
overall performance and customer satisfaction.
Creating greater cohesion within YCIPTA will enable it to perform more effectively as a
single, seamless entity. At the same time YCIPTA must also retain the operational
flexibility and control provided by contracting out transit driver and other services.
Critical to YCIPTA’s ability to achieve an optimum balance between these two
seemingly competing directives is fostering a collaborative environment throughout the
organization. Success in this will be dependent upon the ability of all participants to
receive and share timely, accurate and useful information. This is especially true for
information regarding both organizational and individual performance. Defining clear
goals and criteria for how these goals will be measured is an essential first step.
 Elevate the profile of the board

Regional Transit
GOAL:
Strengthen YCIPTA’ leadership position within the region to enhance
opportunities for customer service.
YCIPTA provides transit services in Yuma County, but also functions as an integral part
of the regional transit and transportation system. The capacity of YCIPTA to effectively
and efficiently serve its customers is dependent upon the health and effectiveness of
the overall transportation system.
By forming close working partnerships with municipalities and other transit agencies,
YCIPTA can provide leadership in support of initiatives designed to improve the
capacity of the transportation system to serve the commuting public. The development
and management of a high-quality comprehensive transportation system throughout the
region requires coordination and integration between all the agencies and organizations
involved in the movement of people. YCIPTA is well positioned to facilitate this
integration among all the regional mobility players. To effectively carryout this role,
YCIPTA will need to anticipate future growth patterns, both within Yuma County and in
surrounding areas (such as Imperial County, Indian Reservations and Mexico). It will
also need to develop an understanding of how each city in Yuma County will manage its
future growth and plan transit services accordingly. By following this integrated
transportation/land use planning approach within its own service area, YCIPTA can
more effectively encourage its application by other transportation service providers.
Policy development should also more closely examine the potential benefits to be
realized from integrating transit and land use planning, while laying out a clear path for
doing so. Such integration will certainly require that YCIPTA form even closer working
relationships with local cities and other public agencies responsible for land use
decisions.
Among policy issues to be considered are the criteria used for allocating transit routes
and services in Yuma County. Should YCIPTA continue a geographic/coverage based
service regardless of demand or rationalizes allocation of transit services according to
the need and ridership demand in each individual community? The outcome to this
question may depend on the role transit is anticipated to play in the future community
and economic development plans of each city, as well as which of these alternative
service allocation methods, or mix of alternatives, can best meet the mobility needs of
all who live and work in Yuma County.
Related to this is the need for a service development policy. For instance, should a
different fare policy apply to new premium services? Also, should funds generated by
fees placed on new developments be funneled to fund transit services to these new
communities, or support overall transit services to both established and new
communities. The resolution of these and other critical policy choices will provide a firm
foundation for implementation of the overall strategic plan, and in coming years ease
the decision-making process by both the Board and staff when evaluating changes in
service and other critical issues.

Section 6: Strategic Plan Implementation
Successful implementation of the strategic plan is dependent upon translating its
various strategies into detailed programs, budgets, and actions designed to achieve the
goals identified in the strategic plan. The following pages introduce the strategic plan
implementation process by presenting an overview of the following topics:
-
The Relationship Between the Strategic Plan, the Budget, and Annual Work
Plan.
-
Aligning the Budget with the Strategic Plan
-
The Strategic Planning Cycle
-
Decision-Making Criteria
Relationship between the Strategic Plan, the Budget and Annual Work Plan
All other planning processes undertaken by YCIPTA, and the plans generated by these
processes, should draw upon, reflect and align with its Strategic Plan, including
especially the budget and annual work plan.
The Strategic Plan establishes the long-term goals of the organization. It looks ahead
three to five years and charts a route toward its ideal future as described by its Vision
and Mission
The Budget looks ahead in a 12 month period. It provides a more detailed picture of the
route first laid out in the Strategic Plan. It also explains how this route will be navigated
by addressing in depth how the technical, financial, and human resources of the
organization will be allocated to achieve the goals identified in the Strategic Plan.
The Annual Work Plan encompasses all the tasks drawn from the Strategic Plan which
can be achieved within the forthcoming 12 months, and which is funded in the Budget. It
also includes more detailed action plans for each department within the organization,
and shows how results from these individual departmental/staff plans collectively
contribute to achieving the overall organizational goals identified in the Strategic Plan.
Aligning the Budget with the Strategic Plan
The specific goals identified with the fiscal year budget for YCIPTA should correspond
with the goals of the Strategic Plan. Following the adoption of a new strategic plan, a
transition period may be necessary during which goals or the terms used to define goals
are not fully equivalent. To ensure, however, that the Strategic Plan becomes an
operational reality for YCIPTA, planning for the next fiscal year should be organized
around the goals of the new Strategic Plan. Doing so will mean there is a clear
connection between the goals of the Strategic Plan and the resources allocated by
YCIPTA for the achievement of those goals.
24 | P a g e
Page 93
Strategic Planning Cycle
The relationship between the Strategic Plan, Budget, and Annual Work Plan suggests a
top- down approach moving from large general goals at the top to more specific actions
at the bottom. This relationship is part of a larger ongoing and iterative planning cycle,
in which results from implementation of the strategic plan will inform future updates of
the Strategic Plan.
-
-
The first two steps in the planning cycle – confirm agency values, visions, and
goals; and identify strategic issues/priorities – lay out the milestones in the
development of the strategic plan.
Implementation of the strategic plan begins with an assessment of fiscal capacity
and available resources, as required to develop the business plan and budget.
This allocation of technical, financial and human resources is required in order to
establish the strategic objectives necessary for implementation of the strategic
plan in the upcoming 12 to 18 months.
Completion of the budget sets the stage for work program development, as
defined by the resulting annual work plan.
In turn, the annual work plan enables the respective staff to translate the
strategic plan into actions for the coming year.
Action undertaken by the individual departments and staffers will generate results
that need to be evaluated and monitored, determining the extent to which the
organization is successfully following the direction established during strategic
planning.
Results generated by completion of these actions will impact both the external
and internal environment of the organization, setting the stage for an
environmental scan and the updating of the strategic plan.
Decision Making Criteria
The Strategic Plan is designed as a tool to facilitate decision-making. It provides a
framework for analysis of new opportunities, proposals, or issues. Thinking strategically
means that no programmatic choice or problem resolution should be made in isolation
but considered in light of the overall strategic direction of YCIPTA.
To facilitate a strategic decision-making process, the following criteria should be kept in
mind. When considering proposed programs, projects or initiatives ask if they
consistent with or aligned with the following criteria:
- The mission, values, and vision of YCIPTA as expressed in the Strategic Plan
The overall purpose of YCIPTA and its ideal future as described by the vision laid out in
the Strategic Plan can help clarify critical choices facing the organization. Which choice
is more likely to help make that vision a reality?
- The goals and objectives defined by the Strategic Plan
Can the opportunity or proposal under consideration be directly linked to a goal or
objective in the Strategic Plan? If not, will the pursuit of this new initiative require that
25 | P a g e
Page 94
resources be taken away from other initiatives that more directly serve strategic goals
and objectives?
- Current priorities and commitments
Does the proposed initiative reflect a continuation of existing priorities and
commitments, or does it represent a new agenda for the organization? Are past
investments by YCIPTA in technology and other assets compatible with this new
commitment?
- Board adopted policies
Does the opportunity under consideration follow from past Board adopted policies or
does it represent the potential for setting a new organizational precedent? If it is the
latter, is the Board willing to re-visit its current policy?
- Cost effectiveness
From the perspective of ensuring the financial sustainability of YCIPTA which choice is
the most prudent in terms of costs, revenue generation, and funding potential?
Keeping these criteria in mind will help ensure a greater degree of congruence and
consistency between critical decision-opportunities and the long-term direction of
YCIPTA as established in its Strategic Plan.

Yuma Regional Transit Study
Current Conditions
2.5. Survey Results
Surveys, interviews, and public involvement activities were conducted as part of the Yuma Regional
Transit Study. They include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A fixed-route on-board survey,
A general telephone survey,
A DAR on-board survey,
An online survey and public outreach,
A public involvement effort, and
Interviews of stakeholders.
Results are presented in detail in Appendix E through Appendix J and summarized in the following
sections.
2.5.1 Fixed-Route On-Board Survey
The riders on the fixed-route service were surveyed in April 2011. Information collected on 451 trips was
analyzed. The survey contained 11 main questions. Most of them included choices or sub-elements. The
questionnaire asked respondents for information about their current trip only. The survey questions and
detailed information on responses are provided in Appendix E.
Origin
Almost half of the respondents (47%) cited home as their trip origin. Other primary origins were school
(11%) and shopping (13%). This distribution is fairly consistent across fixed-routes except for the Orange
and AWC Shuttle Routes. On the Orange Route, 44% of the passengers were coming from school,
primarily from the AWC/Northern Arizona University (NAU) campus. On the AWC Shuttle, 14% were
coming from school and 86% were coming from home.
As presented in Figure 6, travelers primarily originate in urbanized areas such as downtown Yuma, San
Luis and Somerton. Other major origin locations are near Cocopah Casino, AWC, the Greyhound Agency,
and Walmart in San Luis and in Yuma. Some origins were specifically cited by the respondents. These
include AWC, Mexico, and the unemployment office. Other listed destinations include the Aztec High
School, the bank, Cocopah Casino, the library, and other schools.
Boarding and Alighting
Boarding and alighting points are illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. They are mostly located near AWC, Yuma
Palms Regional Center, YRMC, the Greyhound Agency, Walmart, and in downtown Yuma, Somerton and
San Luis, near major activity centers.

Destinations
The destination types and locations are similar to the origins. The majority of respondents (36%) said
they were going home. The second and third main destinations were school (14%), social/recreation
(13%), and shopping (13%). These results are fairly consistent across bus routes, with the exception of
the Orange and AWC Shuttle Routes. On the Orange Route 28% of the riders were going to school. On
the AWC Shuttle 86% were going to school, while 9% were going home.
Destinations are mostly located in urbanized areas such as downtown Yuma, San Luis and Somerton. As
illustrated in Figure 9, other major destinations are near Cocopah Casino, AWC, the Greyhound Bus
Station, and Walmart in San Luis and in Yuma. Some other destinations were explicitly cited by the
respondents. These include the Port of Entry in San Luis, Yuma Palms Regional Center, and YRMC. Some
other listed destinations are the social security office, the North and West Cocopah Indian Reservation,
Cocopah Casino, Yuma Library, and other schools.
Transportation to and from the bus stop
As shown in Table 9, 67% of YCAT bus riders responded walking as the transportation mode to reach
their boarding bus stop. 89.1% of these respondents walk less than 20 minutes and the average
reported walking time to the bus was 8.6 minutes.
15% of riders reported transferring from another bus route. The most frequent route transferred from
was the Yellow Route, which is connected to all the other bus routes. The third most frequent means of
travel to a bus stop was being dropped off, cited by 12% of respondents. Similarly, as presented in Table
10, the majority of riders (77%) planned to walk to their final destinations. 90.5% of these respondents
planned to walk less than 20 minutes. The average expected walk time was 8.7 minutes.
12% of riders responded that they would continue their trip by transferring to another bus route; mostly
to the Orange Route. The third most cited mode after taking the bus was “being picked up” (6%).

As presented in Table 11, 42% of overall respondents commute using the YCAT bus system 2 to 4 days a
week. Orange, Purple and AWC Shuttle Routes experience significantly more frequent usage compared
to the other routes. On the Orange and Purple Routes, respectively, 65% and 59% of commuters travel 2
to 4 days a week. On the AWC Shuttle Route, 45% of commuters use the service 2 to 4 days a week and
50 % of respondents use it 5 days a week.

Overall rating of YCAT service
Commuters surveyed seemed generally pleased with the service provided. Across all routes, 81% of
respondents rated the service as either Good or Excellent. These results were fairly consistent for all
routes.
Improvements solicited
The on-board survey addressed the improvements that are most important to commuters for the YCAT
system. Two improvements were most cited by commuters:
•
•
Providing more frequent service: Across all bus routes, 59% of respondents indicated decreasing
the headway among the three most important improvements. On the Orange, Purple and AWC
Shuttle Routes, almost 50% of respondents ranked this improvement as the most important.
Providing later evening service: Across all routes, 64% of surveyed commuters chose increasing
duration of service in the evening as one of the three most important improvements.
Respondents most frequently indicated that they would like YCAT to provide service until 8pm,
9pm, or 10pm.
Other, non-proposed, improvements were listed by respondents, such as operating on Sundays and
restoring suspended routes, particularly the Red Route.

2.5.2 Telephone Survey
The general public in Yuma County was surveyed regarding fixed-route transit service. Telephone calls
were made in order to obtain over 400 completed surveys. The survey contained 31 questions and
asked respondents to provide information regarding six categories. The survey questions and detailed
information on responses are provided in Appendix F.
Demographic information
Only people who were 16 or older were interviewed. In addition to the age bracket, the surveyor asked
for the respondent’s zip code.
Familiarity with and usage of the existing bus service
30% of respondents answered that they were not at all familiar with the existing bus service. About 50%
of respondents knew whether there was a bus stop within walking distance of their homes. 32% said
there was no bus stop near their home, and 18% did not know. 65% of respondents answered that the
walking time from their house to a bus stop is likely to be less than 20 minutes.
19% of respondents declared that they have ridden a bus within the last year. 36% of these commuters
ride the bus a few times per year and 21% use the YCAT system more than twice a week. It appears from
these numbers that the YCAT system is serving about 4% of the community.
Impression of the performance of the existing bus system
Five elements of the YCAT system were rated by the interviewee: ride length, weekday service hours,
weekend service availability, ability to travel to regional destinations, and frequency of bus service.
Although the answer I don’t know was frequently selected, respondents consistently rated system
performance as Good, Excellent or Fair.
Interviewees were asked to name places where additional bus service should be provided, if any. As
presented in Table 12, the most cited locations are the Fortuna Foothills area (19%) and the area
formerly served by the Red Route in downtown Yuma (14%). The largest percentage (36%) of responses
regarding areas needing better bus service was “Other” and was very diverse. The most cited other
destinations included the Pacific Avenue area, schools and health facilities.

Opinion regarding the role of bus service in Yuma County
54% of surveyed people strongly agreed with the statement that YCAT should provide transportation to
those without other means of transportation. The other three bus service roles proposed were:
• Bus service helps reduce air pollution by providing an alternative to driving alone.
• Bus service helps the economy in Yuma County.
• Yuma County bus service provides an alternative to driving alone for many Yuma County
residents when commuting to work or school.
These statements were equally supported at the Agree level by about 50% of the respondents. 60% of
the respondents indicated they were satisfied or very satisfied with the service provided by YCAT. An
additional 16% were very satisfied. Oerall 81% of people surveyed, including riders and non riders,
expressed some degree of satisfaction with the service.
Willingness to support additional funding for transit
This category addressed the need for additional funding for transit given both the current decline in
revenue and continuing requests for improved service. Three questions were asked to gauge people’s
awareness of the decline in revenues, potential increased revenue sources for transit and whether the
respondent would support a fare increase.
Half of respondents declared that they were not aware of a decrease in funding sources for public
transportation. As summarized in Table 13, 47% of interviewees answered that YCAT should reduce its
service to match its available revenue. 27% said that sales taxes should be increased in order to maintain
the current service and 15 % said that sales tax should be increased to support expanded transit service.
When combined, people in favor of an increase in sales tax to support transit counts for 42% of
respondents. 53% of people surveyed answered that they would support raising transit fares to help
reduce the funding shortfall.

Opinion regarding the value of and willingness to use alternate transportation services
The final category proposed three possible new transportation services that could be alternatives to
traditional bus service:
• Taxi voucher program
• Volunteer driver service using personal vehicles
• Carpool/vanpool matching programs
These potential alternatives to the bus system were found at least somewhat valuable by 70%, 74%, and
80% of respondents, respectively. Following this trend, carpooling was ranked highest (56%) among the
suggested new services that people would be at least somewhat likely to use. The taxi voucher program
would be at least somewhat likely to be used by 55% of respondents. And 52% of the interviewees are
at least somewhat likely to use the service with volunteer drivers using personal vehicles.

2.5.3 Online Survey and Public Involvement
Public involvement was adopted as a key component in the development of the study to gather public
input on existing transit conditions and to evaluate public opinions about the future scenarios that are
developed as part of this study. An online survey and a public outreach effort regarding transit in
southwestern Yuma County were conducted in August and September 2011. 400 respondents gave their
opinion online or through in-person interviws at various locations in the Yuma region. The survey
contained 43 questions and asked respondents to provide information regarding four categories:
Demographic data, Use of the transit system, Role of transit in Yuma County, and Funding scenarios.
Detailed information on the online survey and the public involvement effort is provided in Appendix H
and Appendix J.
Demographic information
Only people who were 16 or older were interviewed. The typical respondent was over the age of 40 and
has lived in Yuma for more than 15 years.
Use of the transit system
As shown inTable 14, 75% of the respondents do not use public transportation on weekends and
weekdays. Most respondents drive alone to get where they need to go.
Almost half (47%) stated they would use a carpool or vanpool program, if it was available and 35%
would use a rideshare matching program. Less than a third of the respondents felt they would use a taxi
voucher (30%) or volunteer driver service (27%). Current DAR passengers are using the service to travel
to work, health care appointments, shopping, or to run errands.

Finally, the survey asked respondents to indicate if there were any changes they would like to see to the
DAR service. The results of this question are presented in Table 19.
56% of the respondents identified no change with the DAR service, 19% of the respondents asked for a
specific change in the DAR system, and several respondents wrote more than one answer. The most
commonly suggested change was related to the hours of operation. 16% of the respondents would
prefer later service to be provided, at least until 7pm or 8pm. 6% of the respondents would prefer
enhanced scheduling. By picking up and dropping off several commuters in one trip, some riders may be
late to their scheduled appointments or experience increased wait time. Other changes equally
identified by 3% of the respondents are providing DAR service on Sundays, offering online booking and
adding additional drivers.
