4/17/84 Page -5- <br />Councilman Luce Inquired what criteria did R.T.D. use to <br />determine that they have enough ridership <br />to jlustify that additional incremental cost? <br />Mr. Grote stated they would have to determine <br />how many passengers were getting on from <br />Bou]_der versus how many are getting on here. <br />How many would they lose because of the <br />add~_tional travel time? How many would they <br />gain because of the improved service for <br />the people at this park and ride? These <br />must be determined and put that together <br />into a benefit type cost analysis. In the <br />future there may be local service coming from <br />McCaslin and Louisville that justify that <br />on :its own without the Boulder ridership. <br />Mr. Luce asked what is the process from this <br />point forward? <br />Mr. Grote's reply was they would be making <br />other presentations - Boulder County next <br />week to which the public is also invited. <br />Then they are putting together a grant package <br />and hope in the next couple months to get <br />it to the Board of Directors for their approval, <br />then the package would be presented to the <br />Urban Mass Transportation ' Administration and <br />if they approve it, it would be possibly <br />September or October when R.T.D. would get <br />the final design to start the project. If <br />everything went well, the facility could be <br />open by next summer, assuming they get the <br />approvals necessary. <br />Mr. Womack stated it does take a long time to <br />go through the Federal Government, but for <br />these particular things, there is money avail- <br />abl.e and it is just getting Congress to ap- <br />propriate it. They didn't expect any problems. <br />Councilman Luce summarized that in looking at <br />the criteria that R.T.D. uses for examining <br />several sites, he concurred with the site <br />picked and he was highly supportive of this <br />project and hopes things move forward rapidly. <br />Councilman Leary In reply to Councilman Leary's inquiry, Mr. <br />Grote stated the Broomfield Park and Ride <br />facility held 350-400 cars. This facility <br />would be equivalent to the first phase of <br />the Broomfield facility. <br />Mr. Leary asked what the fare would be? <br />Mr. Grote stated that he didn't know. <br />Councilman Leary wished to know the classi- <br />
