RECOMMENDATION
1.Direct Staff to immediately notify the City of Torrance (Lead Agency)and the
other Member Agencies that Rancho Palos Verdes is withdrawing from Municipal
Area Express (MAX),effective June 30,2011;or
2.(a)Authorize Staff to move forward with the process leading to the possible

BACKGROUND
MAX is a commuter transportation system which serves South Bay residents who travel
into the EI Segundo employment area.This system is jointly operated and funded by
the cities of Rancho Palos Verdes,Torrance,EI Segundo,Lawndale,Lomita,Los
Angeles and the County of Los Angeles.The system is administered by the City of
Torrance,who in turn contracts with a private operator (MV Transportation)for daily
operation.The current Agreement for MAX Commuter Bus Service was entered into in
2008 and expires on June 30,2011 (attached),but includes provisions for up to two
one-year extensions.This is the seventh consecutive MAX inter-agency agreement,
with the first such agreement dated April 1990,when service was inaugurated.
As reported with the 2010 Five-Year Financial Model,the City's Transit program will
continue to require either annual General Fund subsidies or another funding source to
meet the future obligations based upon the current service level.Based on information
provided during the Finance Advisory Committee (FAC)review of the draft 2010 Five-
Year Financial Model,the FAC made the following recommendation to the City Council:
The FAC recommends that Staff prepare a detailed cost-benefit analysis of
Municipal Area Express (MAX transit)services to the City,to be completed by
the end of the 2010 calendar year.
Staff brought forward an analysis of the City's historical participation in MAX to the City
Council on November 16,2010.During the meeting,the City Council directed Staff to
notify interested parties (e.g.riders and agencies)that on November 30,2010,the City
will consider whether to continue its participation in the commuter transportation transit
service known as MAX.In response,Staff has posted notifications of the meeting in
each MAX bus,on MAX bus stops and a marquee at City Hall,issued a press release,
sent Iistserv messages,and placed notification on the City's website.Staff also
provided written notice of the November 30 th meeting to the City of Torrance (Lead
Agency)and the other Member Agencies of MAX,and included copies of the November
16 th agenda item.
Potential Transit Budget Shortfall
For FY09-10,the City's annual transit contribution totaled about $675,000,which
included about $570,000 to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority (PV Transit)
and about $105,000 to MAX.The City has multi-year agreements with both of these
agencies,which offer different services and serve a different target market.The City's
Transit program is funded with about $50,000 of restricted revenue from the Air Quality
Management District,and the remainder has been funded with restricted Proposition A
revenue.The City's annual Proposition A revenue is expected to stay at about the
$575,000 level for the foreseeable future.Going forward,the Transit operating budget
is expected to be underfunded by at least $50,000 to $100,000 in FY11-12;thus,likely
requiring a General fund subsidy.This does not include increasing costs of operations
6-2

or future capital contributions of at least $30,000 annually to the transit agencies for
refurbishment and/or replacement of buses.In the event MAX moves forward with its
plan to replace its bus fleet in FY13-14,the City's Transit budget shortfall could reach
$200,000 or more in FY13-14.As an alternative to the General fund subsidy,the
Council could elect to re-allocate Proposition C and/or Measure R funds already
included in the Capital Improvement Program for designated arterial roadway projects.
Staff does not recommend such re-allocation at this time.
Proposition A is a %cent tax sales tax in Los Angeles County,which was established in
1980 to fund transportation.With increasing expenditures,and decreasing Proposition
A revenue over the last several years,the City has whittled down a previously
accumulated Proposition A fund balance.In the past,the City's Proposition A revenue
exceeded its eligible expenditures,and the City was in a position to sell its excess
Proposition A revenue in exchange for General Fund money.That is no longer the
case.In fact,for FY1 0-11,the City used General Fund money to purchase $65,000 of
Proposition A money for $0.75 per $1.00 ($48,750)from the City of Rolling Hills.With
the infusion of $48,750 of General Fund money,the City's FY10-11 Transit budget is
balanced.
DISCUSSION
Municipal Area Express (MAX)has operated for 20 years as a commuter transit
alternative for South Bay residents.The MAX Commuter Bus Service operates a 14-
vehicle fleet along three routes through the South Bay during the morning and afternoon
peak hours.A copy of the bus routes,schedules,and current rates are attached.
Using extrapolated data from the most recent ridership statistics provided by MAX staff
(October 2009,see attachment A),the number of average annual boardings for the
MAX system is 105,828,which includes 3,912 (3.7%)average annual boardings within
the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.Using the FY09-10 contribution of $105,000 to MAX
and the average annual boarding by residents,the City paid approximately $27 per
boarding.For the sake of comparison,all of the members of PV Transit provide a
combined subsidy of about $8 per boarding.Staff has requested additional ridership
statistics,but MAX staff has indicated they are not available at this time.Riders pay
cash fares ranging from $1.75 to $3.00 per boarding.Based on ridership statistics,a
reasonable increase of fares would have little impact on the City's Transit funding
shortfall.
On November 22 nd ,staff received correspondence from Torrance Transit/MAX staff,
which states the City's ridership percentage is approximately 8%and its subsidy per
boarding is $16.15.Torrance Transit staff arrived at these assumptions by attributing
the riders boarding in the City of Rolling Hills Estates to the City.This assertion by
Torrance Transit Staff increases the City's documented boardings per year by 66
percent from 3,912 to 6,504,an increase of 2,592 yearly boardings.City Staff does not
6-3
MUNICIPAL AREA EXPRESS
November 16,2010
Page 4 of 10
agree with the validity of this assumption.City Staff agrees that there could be RPV
residents boarding at the Rolling Hills Estates location,just as there may be other
residents from other cities boarding at various locations throughout the MAX route.The
correspondence from Torrance Transit is attached to this staff report.
Historical Funding Sources
MAX is funded through a combination of fares,contributions from the member
jurisdictions (usually Proposition A or C dollars)and from Metropolitan Transit Authority
(MTA)special fund sources.MAX staff is responsible for securing federal transportation
funds through a combination of a bi-annual call for projects through MTA and other
sources allocated on an annual basis.
Proposition A
The City receives monies from Proposition A,which is a %cent sales tax approved by
the voters of Los Angeles County in 1980.The revenues are received by cities on a per
capita basis and may only be used for transit services and bus stop improvement and
maintenance.The City historically uses these monies to finance participation in the PV
TransitlDial-a-Ride,Municipal Area Express (MAX)transit system,and for bus stop
shelter maintenance and improvements.
Proposition A revenue has declined from its peak of more than $700,000 annually in FY
2006-07.At that time,Proposition A was funding less than $500,000 of Transit
contributions (about $57,000 for MAX and about $430,000 for PV Transit).
Staff estimates that costs associated with MAX and PV Transit will continue to increase
and outpace any economic growth of Proposition A revenue for the foreseeable future.
Current year Proposition A revenue estimates are at FY 03-04 levels,down
approximately $127,000 or 18%from its peak in FY 2006-07.

Historical Costs
The City is expected to contribute about $109,000 to MAX for FY10-11.This represents
an approximate increase of $53,000 from FY 2003-04.The 102%increase over a six

year period can be attributed to the new 3-year agreement awarded to the MAX service
provider (MV Transportation)on February 4,2008.Increases in the new contract
amount were attributed to higher wage and fuel costs,as well as the costs to replace
engines and transmissions of an aging fleet over the current contract term.
The City is also responsible for any additional costs that might be incurred.Section 6,
of the MAX Agreement states:
"In addition,each Agency agrees to pay the Lead Agency any additional funds as
authorized by the [Policy Steering Committee]PSC which might be required to provide
service during any budget year should the costs be greater than anticipated,provided
however,that such additional funds shall not exceed twenty (20)percent of the amount
adopted in the annual budget for one year."

Allocation of Member Costs
Since the early 2000's the City of Rancho Palos Verdes'share represents 16.04183%
of the net costs of operating expenditures and Proposition C Discretionary Funds from
MTA and passenger Fares.According to Section 6,Operating Fund and Payment for
Services,of the current Agreement for MAX:
"The Lead Agency (City of Torrance)shall obtain funds to operate MAX from passenger
fares and other sources as they are available.The remainder required to fund MAX
shall be provided by the Agencies (Rancho Palos Verdes,EI Segundo,Lawndale,
Lomita,City of Los Angeles,and County of Los Angeles).Each Agency shall pay
quarterly,upon receipt of an itemized billing from the Lead Agency,one fourth of its
annual share,which shall be established by the PSC as part of the annual operating
budget....Further,if any member jurisdiction pays more than their budget share of
actual costs,as determined by an annual audit of the MAX budget,then an equal
amount will be deducted from their next quarterly billing in the subsequent budget year.
If any member jurisdiction pays less than their budget share of actual costs,as
determined by annual audit of the MAX budget,then an equal amount will be added to
their next quarterly billing in the subsequent budget year."
City staff has requested copies of the audited budget for each of the last three fiscal
years and MAX staff has informed the City that an audit to determine if each agency is

paying their fair share has never been completed.The following chart is a summary of
ridership statistics from October 2009 and the allocation of operating costs to
participating agencies (see Attachment A for more information).Based on this
information,the City's share of operating costs is not proportional to its ridership.

It appears that participant shares were originally calculated by the number of riders
originating in each city,the number of bus stops in each city,and the number of route
miles passing through each city at the inception of MAX.
Futu re Costs
MAX staff has informed staff from each participating agency that the 14 busses,which
went into service in 2002,will need to be refurbished and eventually replaced.The
MAX Policy Steering Committee (PSC)has not yet made a decision how to approach
refurbishment and replacement.Torrance Transit Staff has outlined a potential scenario
that calls for refurbishing the 14 busses in the short term to keep them in service until
enough capital is set aside to eventually replace them.
Preliminary estimates for refurbishing the busses in FY 2012-13,will require a 20%local
match from the agencies of $365,380.Over a two-year period (FY 2011-12 and
FY2012-13)agencies would fund the refurbishment of the 14 busses.The estimated
share for Rancho Palos Verdes for each year would be $29,307 ($58,614 in total).
These amounts would be in addition to annual operating contributions provided by the
City.Refurbishing the busses will extend the useful life of each bus by 6 years,until
2018.
Preliminary estimates put replacement of the 14 new hybrid-electric busses at
$10,498,990.The 20%local match to be funded by the member agencies would be
$2,204,788,of which Rancho Palos Verdes would be responsible for $353,688.To
6-6
MUNICIPAL AREA EXPRESS

allow for a more manageable expenditure,MAX staff is recommending a MAX Capital
Reserve be established and funded over a 5 year period beginning in FY13-14 and
culmination in FY17-18.Assuming the MAX PSC moves forward with the replacement,
Rancho Palos Verdes would be responsible for contributing $69,060 to the capital
reserve each year.
Timeline
Currently,MAX Transit staff is preparing to start the process of approving a new
interagency agreement that is set to expire on June 30,2011.The decision to ask each
agency to exercise the first of two one-year extensions of the current agreement or sign
on for another 3 to 5 years will be presented to the MAX PSC during the first week of
December 2010.The City Council's delegate to the MAX PSC casts 1 of 7 votes.PSC
members will be asked to present the agreement to each agency's technical staff for
review and comment.MAX Transit staff has already requested updated signatory
information from the City to be included in the new draft agreement.City Staff has not
yet provided the signatory information.
During the December meeting MAX staff will also provide the PSC with options about
the operator of MAX,MV Transportation.MAX staff will ask the PSC if they would like
the Agency to either exercise the first of two one-year options to continue the current
agreement,negotiate with MV Transportation for a new three-year agreement,or re-bid
the entire operation of MAX.
Based on input from the PSC,MAX staff will ask the PSC to adopt the estimated budget
for FY 2011-12 and agree to send the new or amended MAX Agreement to each
member agency.
Considering the timeline noted above,Staff believes that a decision about City's
intention is best made prior to the December MAX PSC meeting,so MAX may be able
to quantify what the impact it might have on the approval of the new agreement by the
other participant cities.
Best Decision Point in Time for the City
It appears as though the alternative to extend the MAX Agreement for one year may not
be a viable alternative when it's expected to be accompanied with a commitment to
refurbish and/or replace busses with a 6 -10 year estimated useful life.Because 80%
of the cost of refurbished and/or replacement busses will be funded by the county
and/or federal government,the City may be liable to refund its proportionate share of
the cost if it were to withdraw from MAX during the life of the busses.The City's
proportionate liability for new busses could be as much as $1,344,000 in the year
acquired.Therefore,it appears as though the City currently has a window in which it
may withdraw with little or no liability.The City may be faced with a long-term
6-7
MUNICIPAL AREA EXPRESS

commitment that follows the useful life of the busses,if MAX commits to a
refurbishment/replacement contract before the City withdraws its participation.
Options
Any Agency may terminate the agreement with gO-day written notice before June 30 of
any year.Section 14(A)states:
"In addition to the grounds of termination provided in Section twelve (12),any Agency
may withdraw from this Agreement at the end of a given fiscal year by giving written
notice to the lead Agency and to the PSC of such intent to terminate ninety (90)days
prior to the end of any given fiscal year,which ends on June 30.Within thirty (30)days
after such notice is received by the PSC,or at its next regularly scheduled meeting,the
PSC shall meet and determine whether to terminate MAX or re-apportion the respective
share of any Agency terminating participated in MAX.In the event the PSC decides to
terminate MAX,the Lead Agency shall terminate all agreement with its Contractor.
Agencies shall be responsible for all costs resulting from termination,including the costs
resulting from termination for the Contractor agreements."
Similarly,the PSC may terminate the MAX Agreement at any time.Section 14(B)
states:
"This agreement may also be terminated at any time by agreement of the PSC.In the
event the PSC decides to terminate MAX,the Lead Agency shall terminate all
agreements with its Contractor.Agencies shall be responsible for all costs resulting
from termination,including the costs resulting from termination of the Contractor
agreements."
In the event of termination of the Agreement,Section 14(C)states:
"Each Agency shall be responsible for its respective share of the termination costs as
provided in the annual MAX budget.In the event the costs of the termination are less
than the sums held by the Lead Agency,the Lead Agency shall remit,within 30 days
after all termination costs have been paid,each Agency's proportionate share of the
remaining balance."
Currently,the PSC has not approved an amendment to the FY 2010-11 Budget to
include any costs associated with buses to be refurbished or replaced.Both the MAX
Agreement and Operator Agreement (MV Transportation)expire on June 30,2011.If
the City withdraws from MAX effective June 30,2011,and the remaining agencies wish
to continue their participation in MAX,the City Attorney and Staff believe the City would
not be responsible for any additional costs other than operating costs for the current
fiscal year.Based upon a review of the Agreement,if MAX were to cease operations,it
is not easily determinable what the City's obligations,if any,would be to MAX.
However,per a review of the MAX financial statements included in the City of
Torrance's CAFR,and conversations with the City of Torrance Staff,it does not appear
the City would have any significant additional financial obligations.

Option 1
Elect not to participate in the FY11-12 to FY13-14 MAX Agreement.
Step 1:Authorize Staff to immediately notify the City of Torrance and the other
member agencies that Rancho Palos Verdes is withdrawing from MAX,
effective June 30,2011.
Step 2:Work with the City Attorney and City of Torrance to determine whether
the City is responsible for any expenditures in addition to the FY10-11
operating costs.
Option 2
Continue participation in MAX and subsidize the City's future annual contributions,if the
City's future Proposition A revenue fails to meet or exceed the City's obligations.
Step 1:Direct Staff to participate in the preparation of a new draft three-year
agreement,subject to final approval by the City Council,which shall
include provisions that will provide additional fiscal protection to the
member agencies,such as requiring expenditures that will exceed a
specified sum to be approved by the PSC and by each agency so that a
member agency would be able to withdraw from the agreement prior to
the expense being incurred.
Step 2:Direct Staff to request a reallocation of the MAX budget among
participating cities based upon ridership.
Step 3:Continue to look for opportunities to purchase Proposition A funds at a
discount.
Step 4:During the budget discussion in Spring of 2011,Staff will provide
the City Council with options to reallocate Proposition C and/or Measure R revenue
away from arterial street improvements to the Transit budget,or include a General Fund
subsidy for MAX in the draft FY11-12 budget and future years.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on current transit funding levels and Proposition A revenue projections,the City's
transit expenditures will be underfunded by at least $50,000 to $100,000 in FY11-12
and will continue to be underfunded by an increasing amount each fiscal year for the
foreseeable future.In the event MAX moves forward with its plan to replace its bus fleet
in FY13-14,the City's Transit budget shortfall could reach $200,000 or more in FY13-
14.Depending upon whether participating agencies'contributions are reallocated,
current transit funding levels may require either future annual General Fund subsidies or
a reallocation of monies previously programmed for arterial street improvements (Le.
Proposition C and Measure R funds).
If the City withdraws from MAX,effective June 30,2011,and the remaining agencies
wish to continue their participation in MAX,it appears the City would not be responsible
6-9
MUNICIPAL AREA EXPRESS
November 16,2010
Page 10 of 10
for any additional costs other than operating costs for the current fiscal year.Based
upon a review of the Agreement,if MAX were to cease operations,it is not easily
determinable what the City's obligations,if any,would be to MAX.However,per a
review of the MAX financial statements included in the City of Torrance's CAFR,and
conversations with the City of Torrance Staff,it does not appear the City would have
any significant additional financial obligations.
If the City elects to withdraw from participation in MAX,and the City's contributions to
PV Transit do not significantly increase,it appears that future Proposition A revenue will
be sufficient to fund the City's Transit budget over the next five years.

Subject:MAX funding/participation by RPV
Hi,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this subject.
Our position is that the City should follow Option 2 (terminate
participation in MAX agreement)as outlined in the 11/16/10 Memorandum.
Besides the fact that RPV pays a far higher percentage,per rider,that
other participating city entities,it is fundamentally unfair,in our eyes,
to continue to subsidize the work commutes of private residents of RPV with
taxpayer dollars.Therefore,we also have a principle objection to the
$500K+City tax dollars spent annually on PVPTA and would like to see this
ended as well.This is reinforced by the practical fact that whenever we see
these busses on our streets,the only occupant is usually the driver.We
shudder to think what the per-rider cost to the City for this service is.
Respectfully,
Peter Gasteiger

Subject:bus service to RPV
I received notification that the City will be discussing the future of the MAX bus service.
I assume this is the company that transports my and many,many other homeowners'service
workers to their homes.
My cleaning lady lives in Lawndale and due to bus route changes she now has to take at least 3
buses to reach my home!However,she does not have a car and so this is her only way to get
here.She has 2 other RPV customers that she works for 2 other days each week.Her entire
family circumstances would be seriously impacted if the bus no longer came to RPV,or if service
was again disrupted or re-routed.She has been with me for over ten years,beginning when I
lived in Palos Verdes Estates,where she also arrived by bus.
I realize the local population may not patronize the MAX bus much,but,still,we depend on it.
Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for the email notification,however,it would be more useful if
you included the amount of RPV's payment each yes,the current amount of
subsidy,the am out that would be taken from the general fund and the
ridership of the busses.With this data,informed opinions can be offered.
Thank you.

Hi Adam
Please find attached a revised MAX Ridership chart which I believe gives a more accurate reflection of
the percentage of the total budget per agency not just the participating agencies share after the fares
and regional subsidies are subtracted.I have also assigned to the best of our ability riders who are on
the border of cities.
I want to remind you that if RPV would like to have the formula reviewed all is requires is a request by
your Policy Steering Committee Member.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Subject:Continuation of MAX Services
Good morning.I am a regular MAX rider,on the #2 route as I live in southern Rolling
Hills and work in El Segundo.I pick up the bus from the Hawthorne/Rolling Hills Rd.
stop,and return there at the end of the day.The other public transportation options in my
case would not be very feasible,and at the very least inconvenient.
I am writing to urge you to reconsider discontinuing support of the MAX service for
residents "on the hill".If the council agrees to limit the route to not come into RPV
anymore,that would affect many residents that rely on this mode of transportation.It
would appear there are other options besides simply cutting the service to save the city
funds.
1.Lobby for a small fare increase--perhaps one that only affects RPV riders (such as a
graduated fee schedule you might find on tollways).You could also charge a fee for
RPV residents to purchase passes or single ride tickets.
2.Reduce the number of busses running per day (perhaps do away with the latest or
earliest route--dependent on ridership statistics,elminate the route that has the fewest
riders per day).It would be much easier for riders to ride at a slightly different time than
to have to find another mode of transportation altogher.
3.If neither option A or B are feasible,perhaps just restrict the #2 route from RPV.
While this will not affect the majority of the overall riders on this line,it would still
encumber RPV residents (8%of MAX riders I believe).
In any event,I hope that you will take into consideration the voices and words of the
South Bay residents that utilize this form of public transportation for their livelihood.To
take any action that discontinues this service will only serve to hamper the city's citizens
ability to get to work (and in turn to pay their taxes),it adds to the already awful traffic
situation,and will add to the environmental issues of addition pollution from having more
cars on the road.
Thank you for your time and consideration,and I urge you to take the option that is best
for the residents of South Bay.
