Full Service Goal — 15 minute headway on peak 60 minute headway off peak 28 -32 total round trips per weekday (including express trips) Weekend and holiday service For estimating purposes here, operations and maintenance costs have been determined for each conceptual level of service goal. The annual net 0 &M cost (after fares and miscellaneous revenue is accounted for) is planned to be split into thirds, with one third paid by the taxing jurisdictions in the smaller cities in the corridor, another third by the Austin /Travis County metropolitan region taxing Jurisdictions, and the final third by the San Antonio /Bexar County metropolitan region taxing jurisdictions. The following table details the net 0 &M cost projections: Service Level Goal: Initial Service ** Base Service ** Full Service ** Smaller Cities $ 9.32 mil $12.60 mil $ 20.14 mil Austin /Travis County Metro $ 9.32 mil $ 12.60 mil $ 20.14 mil San Antonio /Bexar County Metro S 9.32 mil 12.60 mil 20.14 mil Total $ 27.96 mil $ 37.80 mil $ 60.42 mil ** All numbers are current year /present value estimated amounts and are not escalated to year of expenditure. Further allocation of the smaller cities portion of costs to each of the smaller cities is estimated by allotting 20% of the total smaller cities costs by the number of stations (full service and split service stations) within each city and allotting the remaining 80% of total smaller cities costs by estimated city ridership activity (departures and arrivals) for the planning horizon year of the LSTAR service (2035). The following percentages (rounded to the nearest half of a percent) are the result of the smaller cities allocation and would be applied to the total smaller cities portion of total O &M costs (1/3 of the estimated total 0 &M costs): 1) Georgetown 16 %; 2) Round Rock 28.5%; 3) Buda 4.5 %; 4) Kyle 13%; 5) San Marcos 15.5 %; 6) New Braunfels 13%; and 7) Schertz 9.5%. At those percentage shares, San Marcos' portion of the O &M costs is: Service Level Goal: Initial Service ** Base Service ** Full Service ** San Marcos $ 1.44 mil $ 1.95 mil $ 3.12 mil ** All numbers are current year /present value estimated amounts and are not escalated to year of expenditure. The service levels are planning goals only. Should the actual funding support provided by the participating local jurisdictions be unable to support the planned levels of LSTAR service, the service levels actually provided will be reduced to a level commensurate with the provided local funding. All allocations are for cost estimating purposes only and may be updated over time. Actual allocations may be based upon the availability of funding from individual local government entities supporting the LSTAR service.
