RSG NEXT STEPS
• Fiscal Impact Analysis: To inform the City’s decision-making process on whether to proceed with annexation and anticipate the fiscal impacts, RSG will complete the fiscal analysis by mimicking the County’s methodology for determining the property tax transfer, as well as estimating other revenue and service implications.
• Pre-Zoning Coordination and Data Compilation: RSG will assist the City’s Planning Department in reviewing applicable zoning and land use data for inclusion in the LAFCO application. RSG will also confirm parcel ownership, acreage, and infrastructure information available through GIS and County data sources.
• Public Outreach and Engagement: following completion of the fiscal analysis and Council direction to proceed, RSG will assist the City in implementing its community engagement strategy. This includes preparing information handouts, presentations, and two public workshops and one Council meeting – geared to educating property owners and residents on the annexation process and its impacts.

STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
Goal 4 - Sustainable Infrastructure
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since 1985, the City of Glendora has provided para-transit services to seniors and disabled residents. To maintain continuity of these essential services, the Recreation & Human Services Department recommends entering into an Agreement with Parking Concepts, Inc. (d.b.a. Transportation Concepts), to provide operation and maintenance of the City’s Dial‑A‑Ride and public transit shuttle services through June 30, 2031, with two optional two‑year extensions (subject to approval by the City Council and a future contract amendment). The cost of the Agreement during the initial term will not exceed $8,751,330. These services include the daily operation of Dial‑A‑Ride and shuttle routes, vehicle maintenance and inspections, driver staffing and supervision, customer service support, and compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Transportation Concepts has served as the City’s transit contractor since 2009. The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for continued operations and maintenance services, and Transportation Concepts was selected based on qualifications, experience, and demonstrated capacity to meet the City’s operational needs.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The City of Glendora has contracted with Transportation Concepts for transit operations and maintenance for over fifteen years. The City Council awarded the current contract in March 2017 for a base five-year contract starting in Fiscal Year 2018 through Fiscal Year 2022. The Contract also included two optional two‑year extension periods - covering Fiscal Years 2023–2024 and 2025–2026 - which both the Contractor and the City agreed to exercise.
The RFP was released on March 19, 2026 on QuestCDN (#10108786) and closed on April 16, 2026. Thirteen plan holders reviewed the bid package and two submitted proposals.
DISCUSSION
Proposals were received from Transportation Concepts and Parking Company of America. After a thorough analysis of the proposals received based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, staff determined the proposal from Transportation Concepts was most responsive to the solicitation.
Proposals were scored by an evaluation team consisting of five individuals, three from the Recreation & Human Services Department, and two from other departments within the City. Proposal scoring results are as follows:
Transportation Concepts Parking Company of America
Average Score (Out of 100) 88 76
Price (5 year agreement, 21,000
hr/yr)
$8,751,330 $9,077,700
Interviews for both companies were held on May 12, 2026. After an extensive interview, Transportation Concepts was selected based on qualifications, experience, and demonstrated capacity to meet the City's operational needs.
Although the Agreement is structured at 21,000 service hours per year to align with the Short Range Transit Plan’s (SRTP) long‑term service expansion goals, actual deployment of hours will be based on existing service demand, vehicle resources, and direction from the City. Staff anticipates that actual service levels during the first year of the Agreement will remain consistent with recent years in the range of remain closer to 11,000 to 13,500 hours, and potentially up to 17,000 hours in future years as SRTP components are implemented. As a result, the City does not expect to expend the full annual contract amount during the initial years of the Agreement.
Staff has been consistently satisfied with the performance of Transportation Concepts throughout the term of the current agreement. Transportation Concepts has demonstrated a strong understanding of the City’s transit operations, maintained reliable day‑to‑day service, and responded proactively to operational needs as they arise.
Their management team communicates effectively with City staff, provides timely updates, and works collaboratively to resolve issues before they affect service delivery.
Transportation Concepts’ drivers and dispatch staff have shown professionalism and courtesy in their interactions with riders, contributing to a positive customer experience. The contractor has also maintained stable staffing levels, supported ongoing training, and ensured that safety and ADA requirements remain a priority. Vehicle maintenance has been consistently well‑managed, with minimal service disruptions due to mechanical issues and clear documentation provided when repairs are required.
Overall, Transportation Concepts has demonstrated dependable performance, responsiveness, and a commitment to high‑quality service. Based on this track record, staff is confident in Transportation Concepts’ ability to continue providing effective transit operations for the City and recommends awarding the Agreement to Transportation Concepts.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated annual Revenue Service Hours are for budgeting and planning purposes only and do not constitute a minimum service commitment or payment obligation by the City. The City will only be responsible for the cost of Revenue Service Hours authorized by the City and actually performed at the applicable cost per revenue hour.
At this time City staff continues to evaluate financial and physical (i.e. vehicles) feasibility of addressing the expansion goals of the SRTP. The City’s Transportation Operation is funded entirely through Proposition A and Proposition C revenues which are limited and total approximately $2.5 million for FY 2026-27. These revenues pay for personnel, street repairs, vehicle purchases and capital improvements in addition to City's transit program provider.
There are sufficient appropriations in the FY 2026–27 Adopted Mid-Cycle Budget totaling $965,256 for this Agreement for the first year. As SRTP expansion goals are recommended for implementation City staff will return to City Council to address any potential budget impacts.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
There are no CEQA impacts associated with the recommendations in this report.

RE: Proposal for Operation and Maintenance of Dial-A-Ride and Public Transit Shuttle Services Dear Evaluation Committee:
As the long-standing incumbent provider of the City of Glendora’s Dial-A-Ride and Public Transit Shuttle Services, Transportation Concepts (TC), a division of Parking Concepts, Inc., is pleased to submit our proposal to continue serving the Glendora community. Over the course of our service to the City, TC has developed a strong operational understanding of Glendora’s service environment, rider needs, and community expectations, while remaining adaptable to evolving priorities.
Christopher Lamp will serve as Project Manager and primary point of contact, bringing over 19 years of public transit experience, including 15+ years in leadership roles. He currently oversees Glendora operations, including service delivery, compliance, scheduling, and coordination with City staff, providing strong continuity and proven local expertise.
To support the City’s electric vehicle program, TC will partner with Fleet Maintenance Consulting, Inc., led by Frank Dopp, a 40+ year transit maintenance expert specializing in alternative fuel and battery electric fleets. His firm provides high-voltage training, OSHA-compliant safety programs, and EV-specific maintenance guidance, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient operation of the City’s fleet.
TC’s internal team will continue to manage all daily operations, maintenance coordination, customer service, and reporting, delivering a seamless and integrated service model. As the incumbent provider, TC is fully staffed and operationally ready to begin services immediately upon award, ensuring uninterrupted service and a smooth continuation of operations.
As part of this proposal, TC would like to provide context regarding the updated pricing structure. While the proposed cost reflects an increase from prior rates, it is driven by several key factors aligned with the City’s current direction and service needs. These include the establishment of a more localized maintenance facility to support the transition toward a zero-emission (ZEB) fleet, a necessary $4 per hour wage increase to remain competitive and retain qualified drivers, and an adjustment in annual service hours from approximately 14,500 to 21,000 to reflect the Short-Range Transit Plan. Additionally, insurance costs have increased significantly since the previous contract. Together, these factors ensure that the proposed pricing supports a sustainable, reliable, and high-quality service model moving forward.
TC remains committed to delivering safe, reliable, and customer-focused transportation services while supporting the City’s goals for operational excellence and sustainable fleet management. We appreciate the opportunity to continue serving the Glendora community and look forward to building on our established partnership.
Sincerely,
Brett Baum

Firm Overview
Transportation Concepts (TC), the public transportation division of Parking Concepts, a California Corporation, was founded in 1974.
Our corporate office is in Irvine, California, and we currently employ close to 1,300 people. Gill Barnett, CEO and owner of Parking Concepts, founded the company to provide an enhanced level of customer service to an industry that had been sorely lacking in such a crucial arena of the customer’s journey. Today, Parking Concepts is one of the most successful and respected parking facility operators in the United States.
In 1982, Parking Concepts was awarded a shuttle bus contract at the Ontario International Airport, spurring the creation of TC. Over the last 43 years, TC has successfully operated a large number of fixedroute / shuttle service contracts similar to the City’s services.
Although Transportation Concepts operates as a dba under Parking Concepts, the provision of effective transportation operations is at the core of what we do. Our primary objective with our clients and potential clients, such as the City of Glendora, is to transport passengers safely and efficiently, creating a positive image for the City as well as our organization simultaneously.
Our scope of services includes:
• Safety: Employee, ridership, maintenance shop,
environmental, accident/incident prevention and response. • Customer Service: Passenger relations, disability awareness, on-time performance, and courtesy.
• Employee Development: Recruitment, screening, hiring, training, and supervision.
• Maintenance: Preventive, body work, warranty, parts
inventory, vehicle appearance, heating/air conditioning, audit/inspection, and technician training.
• Vehicle Operation: Employee check in, vehicle inspection, dispatch/vehicle communications, on time performance,
route supervision, fare collection and extensive training.
TC has had excellent performance records with the contracts we operate. We have consistently surpassed contractual on-time performance standards, maintained an excellent safety record, and have an industry reputation for getting the job done as promised, and will maintain this standard for our work with the City of Glendora.

Project Understanding and Approach
Local Presence and Operations
Transportation Concepts (TC) understands that the City values a collaborative partnership. This includes:
• Clear communication and transparency
• Responsiveness to feedback and changing priorities
• Proactive identification of service improvements
In addition to operational coordination, TC actively supports community outreach and rider engagement efforts that strengthen awareness and increase utilization of City services. Throughout our partnership, we have assisted with a variety of senior-focused outreach initiatives, including Dial-A-Ride sign-up events and rider education workshops to help new passengers confidently access services. We have also supported broader community efforts, including coordination with City staff and Police Department personnel on homeless outreach by providing transportation and relocation assistance when appropriate.
Our team regularly partners with the City on key annual events and programs, including the Holiday Christmas Light Tour for staff and seniors, the Christmas Stuff-A-Bus campaign, Recreation staff City tours, Earth Day tours, and new rider workshops. We have also hosted targeted outreach events, such as workshops at the La Fetra Center and participation in the City’s Health and Wellness Fair, to promote available services and expand community engagement. These combined efforts have contributed to increased ridership, improved accessibility, and stronger community awareness of transit services.
With an existing operational presence and institutional knowledge, TC is well positioned to continue delivering high-quality service while supporting the City’s goals.
TC understands that the City’s primary objective is to provide safe, reliable, and customer-focused transit services while continuing to evolve operations to reflect modern standards, sustainability goals, and community expectations.
As the current service provider, TC has developed a strong operational foundation and a thorough understanding of the service environment, while recognizing that priorities continue to evolve, particularly in workforce development and fleet electrification.
At its core, the project requires consistent, on-time service supported by well-trained personnel and properly maintained vehicles. The City’s expectations emphasize safety, responsiveness, accountability, and community engagement, all of which are directly tied to effective training programs, strong operational oversight, and ongoing outreach that connects residents to the services available to them.
Workforce Training and Development
TC understands that a highly trained workforce is critical to meeting the City’s service standards. The City’s needs include:
• Operators and staff who are proficient in both traditional transit operations and evolving technologies • Ongoing training in safety, customer service, ADA compliance, and emergency response • Specialized training to support new equipment and operational procedures TC’s approach includes structured initial and refresher training programs, hands-on instruction, and continuous performance monitoring. This ensures staff are prepared not only to meet baseline requirements, but to adapt to changes in service delivery, technology, and community needs.
Transportation Concepts, as the incumbent provider of Glendora’s transportation services, will continue delivering a comprehensive, turnkey Shuttle program that is safe, reliable, customer-focused, and fully compliant with all ADA and City requirements. Our approach is founded on more than 40 years of transit experience and strengthened by our firsthand operational knowledge of Glendora’s routes, ridership needs, and performance expectations.
Project Understanding and Approach
949.753.7525 | transportation-concepts.com | 7
As demonstrated through years of performance, Transportation Concepts brings:
• Decades of specialized public transit experience, including fixed-route and demand-response operations throughout Orange County.
• A proven management structure, led by a hands-on Project Manager supported by strong corporate oversight in safety, training, and maintenance.
• Documented success meeting performance standards, including on-time performance, safety benchmarks, and exceptional customer service—validated through ongoing City feedback. • Direct familiarity with Glendora’s service environment, including Le Fetra Center Events ridership patterns, stop locations, and schedule requirements.
Recruit and Hire
Transportation Concepts recognizes that the success of the Glendora Transportation Program depends on recruiting individuals who demonstrate professionalism, safety awareness, and a strong customer-service mindset. Our recruitment strategy is designed to attract qualified candidates while supporting workforce stability and continuity of service, and include a combination of local outreach and professional recruiting resources. TC actively advertises positions through its website, local media outlets, community employment centers, and partnerships with external recruitment firms. Emphasis is placed on identifying candidates who reside locally and understand the community served. To remain competitive in the current labor market and support retention, Transportation Concepts is proposing a $4.00 wage increase effective July 1, 2026. This strategy has strengthened retention and expanded the candidate pool, including the return of experienced operators.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet Integration and Management
The City’s deployment of five (5) fully electric vehicles represents a significant advancement in sustainability and operational modernization. TC recognizes that managing an electric fleet introduces unique operational and maintenance considerations, including:
• Charging infrastructure coordination and daily management • Range planning/route optimization to align with vehicle capabilities • Electric drivetrains and battery systems preventative maintenance • Staff training for operators and maintenance personnel on EV-specific procedures and safety protocols To support this transition, TC partners with Fleet Maintenance Consulting (FMC), led by zero-emission fleet expert Frank Dopp, to provide specialized guidance and technical expertise. This partnership enhances our ability to implement best practices in high-voltage safety, maintenance program development, and technician training, while ensuring compliance with industry standards such as NFPA 70E.
TC understands that successful EV program implementation requires seamless integration into daily operations without impacting service reliability.

BREEZE Platform Features
Project Understanding and Approach
949.753.7525 | transportation-concepts.com | 9
Transportation Concepts proposes deploying BREEZE, PCI’s passenger management, reporting, and operations platform to further enhance service delivery and program oversight. BREEZE modernizes shuttle operations by replacing handwritten passenger logs with a streamlined, tablet-based digital workflow that captures ridership activity, time stamps, ADA indicators, and operational data in real time using the existing Glendora fleet’s onboard tablets. This transition improves data accuracy, reduces administrative burden, strengthens compliance with NTD and OCTA reporting requirements, and allows drivers to spend more time focused on passenger care and customer service.
BREEZE includes a secure, web-based
dashboard (similar to the one shown to
the right) that consolidates ridership,
operational, and performance data into
a single reporting environment. City staff
and program management gain realtime and historical visibility into ridership trends, service reliability, stoplevel activity, ADA-related metrics, and operational exceptions. These tools
support proactive decision-making,
enable data-informed adjustments to
routes and schedules, and enhance
overall transparency. The platform also offers optional enhancements such as online trip reservations, future rider eligibility integration, and contactless payment capability. These features can be implemented at the City’s discretion without disrupting existing operations, while traditional phone-based reservations can continue to ensure accessibility for all riders.
Because Transportation Concepts is the incumbent operator and the Glendora fleet is already tablet-equipped, deployment of BREEZE is straightforward and low risk. Implementation includes system configuration, customization to City reporting requirements, driver training, parallel testing, and full rollout upon City approval. No new hardware investment is required, and ongoing system support and maintenance will be provided by Transportation Concepts and PCI.
Together, Transportation Concepts’ proven operational performance, and the BREEZE platform provide the City of Glendora with enhanced functionality, improved oversight, and a scalable technology foundation while preserving the personalized, high-touch service experience riders expect.

Once the new operator progresses to on-the-road training with a qualified driver trainer, meeting the requirements as outlined above. This individual will reinforce the basics of defensive driving and the handling of the specific vehicle they will be operating. Time is also spent as a participant/observer. The following are some of the components of the in-service training program:
• Basic vehicle handling skills, including starting, stopping, turns, and backing • Proper loading and unloading procedures.
• Proper lock-down (equipment) and securing procedures. • Paperwork requirements, APC/ AVL operations, Destination sign operation. • Specific route training.
• Providing passengers with courteous and comfortable transportation. • Proper use of the radios.
• Care and maintenance of the vehicle and equipment, accident procedures, and dress code. • Special driving skills when transporting passengers, in periods of rain and/or unseasonable weather.
Throughout the training program, the qualified operator trainer continually evaluates the performance and personalities of candidates to recognize the individuals who have the best chance to succeed. Not all people are able to deal with the demands of public transit. Our Training program has been extremely useful for screening those individuals not suited for public transit service.
This period may be extended if necessary to meet the individual needs and demonstrate the skills of the new driver.
During this span of time, the operator trainer completes a Driver Evaluation Form on the new driver and meets with the new driver at the end of this training phase to discuss the evaluation. Any deficiencies are noted and must be corrected before the driver is authorized to operate.

This initiative is led by executive leadership and reinforced at every operational level, ensuring consistent expectations, accountability, and performance monitoring across all locations.
Since the implementation of Target Zero, TC has achieved measurable improvements in safety performance, including:
• Significant reductions in workplace injuries
• Substantial decreases in claims frequency and severity • Meaningful cost reductions associated with incidents
These outcomes are driven by leadership engagement, disciplined execution of risk-reduction strategies, and structured communication that reinforces safe behaviors and early hazard identification.
Local Safety Implementation & Training
At the operating level, Transportation Concepts maintains a structured safety wellness program designed to support Glendora’s service requirements and rider population. Key elements include:
• Mandatory driver safety meetings are conducted monthly • Regular ride checks and on-street observations by management staff • Ongoing ADA, passenger assistance, and defensive driving training • Quarterly facility and fleet safety inspections
• Immediate communication and review of any incident or near miss, including corrective action and retraining when appropriate
Safety messaging is continuously reinforced through dispatch communications, driver materials, payroll notices, and staff briefings to ensure consistent awareness and engagement.
TC maintains a safety incentive program designed to reinforce safe behaviors and recognize exemplary safety performance. By aligning individual accountability with positive reinforcement, the program encourages employees to consistently follow established safety procedures and make sound operational decisions. This approach supports a strong safety culture focused on accident prevention, injury reduction, and regulatory compliance. A summary of the safety incentive program is provided in the table below.

All accidents, incidents, and near misses are formally investigated with a focus on root cause analysis, retraining, and system-wide communication to prevent recurrence. TC applies the same preventive standard to near misses as it does to reportable incidents, recognizing that early intervention is critical to maintaining a strong safety culture.
Continuous Improvement & Accountability
The effectiveness of Transportation Concepts’ safety program is the result of an integrated approach that combines careful employee screening, comprehensive training, proactive supervision, and consistent performance monitoring.
This structure ensures that safety expectations are clearly understood, regularly reinforced, and continuously improved.
Through this disciplined and transparent approach, Transportation Concepts delivers shuttle services that meet the City of Glendora’s safety objectives while providing riders with confidence, comfort, and peace of mind.
