TMD supported the City of Pasadena with their Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) update. This document provides a plan for changes to the Pasadena Transit fixed-route and Pasadena Dial-a-Ride services over the next five years. To date, TMD has completed a rider survey and onboard ridecheck for the Pasadena Transit fixed-route service, summarized the existing service conditions, and has developed service recommendations which consider feedback from the community. The SRTP recommendations help Pasadena Transit meet the following goals:
- Goal: Reflect new travel patterns
- Extend span of service (operating hours) on most routes to better match post-pandemic travel demand
- Provide same service frequencies and span on Saturday and Sunday to match weekend travel demand patterns
- Goal: Integrate with Metro NextGen
- Extend span to better match Metro service hours
- Integrate former Metro Lines 177 and 256 into the Pasadena Transit network
- Reduce service on corridors well-served by Metro Lines
- Prepare Pasadena Transit routes for upcoming NoHo to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit
- Goal: Improve customer experience
- Use compatible, clock-face frequencies for easier transfers with Metro and other Pasadena Transit routes
- Improve weekday peak frequencies on key corridors
- Add holiday service on Pasadena Transit routes to match Metro service
- Same-day service pilot for Pasadena Dial-A-Ride with extended service area
The final SRTP will be presented to the Pasadena City Council later this year.
