Nine routes operate daily with 30-minute service during peak periods. Two routes have service every 15 minutes during peak service. Hourly evening service is provided to the same general service area from 6:30 p.m.-10:45 p.m. Saturday service operates hourly all day with service ending at 7:00 p.m. There is no fixed route service on Sundays. During peak periods Iowa City Transit operates 18 buses. Fourteen buses operate weekdays off-peak. On Saturdays 8 buses run servicing 11 different routes. The Downtown Iowa City Transit Interchange is the hub of Iowa City Transit’s operations. All regular routes arrive and depart at the interchange except for the Eastside Loop, allowing for coordinated transfers between buses. There is one free-fare route when the University is in session, the Downtown Transit Shuttle. All Iowa City Transit fixed route buses are lift/ramp-equipped. Demand responsive paratransit service is provided during fixed-route service hours, operated by Johnson County Seats. Iowa City Transit has one bus storage and maintenance facility located at 1200 Riverside Drive and a Multi-modal Facility located at 150 E Court Street. Methods for Target-Setting The replacement of 40’ heavy duty and 176 light duty buses are mostly funded through the Iowa DOT PTMS ranking program. This is a statewide program based on annual funding allocations, age, and mileage of the vehicle. The average replacement cycle for a 40’ bus is 20 years and 15 years for a Light Duty Bus. The ULB for our facilities is 40 years.

The plan will show the projected replacement schedule for the City of Iowa City transit vehicles and buildings which will aid in forecasting budgetary funding. These projections are key factors to providing safe and reliable transit operations as well as increasing our overall ridership and expanding our facilities. The current storage facility does not have the capacity to expand and is well past its useful life. TAM Goals Goal Objectives Iowa City Transit has the goal to double ridership in the next 10 years. The City of Iowa City fixed route system underwent a full comprehensive assessment and redesign to improve service and meet the needs of the community, current riders, and future riders. This redesign included changes to routes as well as fare structures. These changes created a more dependable service with less barriers to riders. These changes in addition to responding to customer and driver feedback has increased our overall ridership totals. Iowa City Transit has the goal to convert all diesel buses to a full low/no emission vehicle fleet by 2050, and becoming one of the most sustainable transit systems in the United States. 84% of our electricity currently comes from renewable sources (mostly wind), and will be 100% renewable in just a few short years. Each vehicle we transition away from diesel brings us closer to this goal. The TAM Plan will assist in financial planning for bus replacement scheduling and facility expansion. Build replacement transit facility To accommodate the additional fleet needed to provide the increased ridership, a new facility will need constructed. Expanding the current building is not possible due to land issues. Our current facility is aged, outdated, undersized, and has significant maintenance and safety issues. Our current facility cannot support our needs today, let alone support our future goals. Grant funding opportunities and applications will also utilize the TAM Plan as a tool to show our current and future needs.

Vehicle Maintenance Plans Corrective maintenance and preventative maintenance plan for HD buses and cutaways that identify failures or possible failures through inspection, detection, adn correction before they occur. Public Transit Management System - State of Iowa DOT The Public Transit Management System (PTMS) is a statewide prioritization process used to select revenue transit vehicles to be funded for replacement with state and federal funds, which have met or exceed federal useful life standards. Risk Management Risk Mitigation Strategy Current transit facility is at the end of its useful life, is deteriorating and has considerable health and safety hazards. The land around the facility is sinking, requiring full asphalt overlays each year to maintain bus access to the building. Persistent pot holes and ponding on-site create travel hazards. Methane abatement is required to ensure staff breathes clean air. Storage bay doors are not tall enough for most modern electric buses and frequently break, causing service delay issues. The roof has persistent leaks and needs to be replaced. The bus wash, original to the building, no longer does an adequate job and parts are increasingly difficult to acquire. We are unable to expand service at this location as we are currently over capacity in the storage area, with HD buses having to be stored in the bus wash each night. Actively seeking federal funding for a replacement facility on an existing public works campus approximately a mile away. Investment Prioritization In order to ensure the Iowa City Transit system remains in a State of Good repair, consist investment in capital infrastructure is required.
