ITEM #1
2 DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Municipal Services Committee
FROM: Laura Rubio-Cornejo, Director of Transportation
SUBJECT: Information Item - Draft Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is presented to the Municipal Services Committee (MSC) as information only.
There is no action on this item.
TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On September 22, 2022, the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) recommended that City Council approve the recommended Final Draft Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan. At the same meeting TAC also offered input and made specific comments on the Plan that noted how the Plan can be further strengthened in order for it to be a more meaningful, living document. These comments were centered around the Plan being more of an action plan focused on specific corridors, and not a guiding document that set citywide pedestrian standards. Since the draft Plan prioritizes ten corridors, questions also arose related to how they were prioritized and how other corridors faired.
Finally, there was interest in getting more clarity on implementation timelines for the specified corridors.
While this item was recommended to move forward to the Municipal Services Committee by the Commission, the Department of Transportation (DOT) believes that these concerns and comments need to be addressed and clarified before recommending approval of the Final Draft Plan by City Council. As such, the Department will bring a revised Final Draft Plan back to MSC within the next six months.
The current Final Draft Plan is located on DOT’s website, under the Community Mobility Section, under the tab titled Pasadena Walks!. The plan can also be found by clicking the following link: Pasadena Walks!
BACKGROUND:
In October 2020, DOT received a grant from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to develop a comprehensive pedestrian plan for Pasadena. This effort was branded Pasadena Walks! The consultant team included Toole Design, Day 3 Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
October 25, 2022
One, and KOA Corporation. The Pasadena Walks! Project kicked off in January of 2021 and included a significant amount of community engagement, culminating in a Draft Pedestrian Plan that identifies opportunities to enhance pedestrian access and safety, prioritized those opportunities and establishes an implementation plan for the potential enhancements.
The overarching goals of the Plan are to make walking in the City of Pasadena safer, more comfortable, convenient and accessible for pedestrians of all ages and abilities.
More specifically goals include:
• Improve conditions for people walking
• Improve connections to surrounding destinations
• Increase the percentage of walking trips
• Reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and the environmental impacts of driving Measurable goals will necessitate before and after studies that capture the number of pedestrians utilizing the corridor and longer-term safety analysis to determine improvements to safety. Surveys to measure perceived walkability will also be important in assessing these measurable goals.
OUTREACH
Community engagement was set as a cornerstone for development of the Plan. Given the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, a variety of outreach and engagement strategies were used to help minimize barriers to participation and obtain the broadest possible community input. Outreach relied on close ties to the local community, but also diligence in utilizing both print and digital mediums to promote engagement opportunities. To ensure robust participation and address the challenges of the pandemic, the project team conducted both virtual and in-person (socially-distant) activities throughout the project development process. The outreach process included an advisory committee, a survey with over 1600 responses, and meetings with focus groups, informational stakeholder workshop events, walk audits with community members, and three community meetings.
The advisory committee was comprised of representatives from a variety of Pasadena organizations, groups, and stakeholders, including representation from residents, businesses, the Accessibility Commission and the Northwest Commission. The members of the advisory group were selected by each council district, relevant commission representatives, business, advocacy groups, and two DOT appointed representatives. The role of the committee was to provide local knowledge and input on pedestrian related concerns, issues and needs, gather feedback for direction of the project, and serve as liaisons between DOT and the Pasadena community they represent. A total of four meetings were held with the advisory committee from February 2021 to December 2021.
4 Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
October 25, 2022
Additionally, there were nine virtual focus sessions held, both in English and Spanish, to target specific community groups in Pasadena and learn about their walking experiences. The groups included Spanish-speaking residents, community job center workers, the disability and accessibility community, Washington Middle School students, Pasadena High School students, Pasadena senior residents, and female residents in Pasadena.
In order to ensure all voices were considered, surveys and three community meetings, both available in English and Spanish, were held. As part of project’s initial outreach and engagement phase, the project survey was developed for the Pasadena community to provide input on walking conditions and priorities in the City. The survey was conducted primarily online, with paper version of the survey made available at pop-up events.
Throughout the project, three community-wide meetings were held virtually during key stages of the project to both update the Pasadena community on ongoing efforts and to provide interactive opportunities for public input and feedback.
PRIORITIZATION
In order to identify potential pedestrian enhancement opportunities, the project team conducted a prioritization analysis for both pedestrian crossings and street segments across the City. The goal of corridor prioritization was to identify street segments that can have the greatest impact towards equity, safety, connectivity, and access.
Priority corridors and crossings were determined based on prioritization analysis using data sources such as the Healthy Places Index (HPI) and the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). Additional sources of information included aerial imagery created by Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), Foothill Transit, and Pasadena and Glendale Transit. Public and stakeholder input was critical to corridor identification. Weighting factors are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below:
5 Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
October 25, 2022
Table 1: Prioritization Criteria for Intersection Crossings Table 2: Prioritization Criteria for Street Segments
6 Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
October 25, 2022
Using these factors, 25 corridors across the City were determined to be a priority for improvement. In order to focus improvements and develop and actionable set of improvements, the following ten opportunity corridors were further prioritized. A map of these ten corridors can be found in Attachment A.
• Fair Oaks Avenue (from north City limit to south City limit) • Washington Boulevard (from Lincoln Avenue to Lake Avenue) • Los Robles Avenue (from north City limit to Walnut Street) • Allen Avenue (from north City limit to Colorado Boulevard) • Lake Avenue (from north City limit to Colorado Boulevard) • Raymond Avenue (from Colorado Boulevard to E Glenarm Street) • Del Mar Boulevard (from Pasadena Avenue to east City limit) • Lincoln Avenue (from north City limit to Washington Boulevard) • Foothill Boulevard (from Walnut Street to east City limit) • San Gabriel Boulevard (from Maple Street to California Boulevard) While these corridors help focus improvements on priority segments and crossings, this list is not intended to preclude pedestrian focused projects on other streets within Pasadena.
The Plan identified a series of potential pedestrian safety improvements to be considered and further studied in subsequent project phases. These improvements may include but are not limited to the following:
• High-visibility crosswalks
• New or modified curb ramps
• Detectable warning surfaces
• Pedestrian refuge islands
• Curb extensions
• Raised intersections and crossings
• Right-turn lane redesign
• Leading pedestrian interval (LPI) and accessible pedestrian signals (APS) • Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB)
7 Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
October 25, 2022
• Pedestrian-scale lighting
Improving walking conditions across the entire pedestrian network is a priority. In addition to the capital improvements focused on these ten corridors, the Department will continue to implement smaller standalone enhancements throughout the City through our citizen-driven traffic investigation process and larger multimodal improvements already contained in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
IMPLEMENTATION
The typical project development process after corridor identification for these types of capital projects includes four major project phases:
The entire process from initial planning to completion of construction can take multiple years and is contingent on funding. Historically, approximately 75% of CIP projects are funded through grants. DOT’s goal is to undertake concept design on two corridors per year, contingent upon funding, and then continue through the project development process for each corridor until each is implemented. This is a long-range plan and as each stage is completed the City will pursue the necessary funding to both design and construct improvements, with the goal of having all corridors implemented in 10 to15 year timeframe. All options to accelerate this schedule will be pursued.
For the conceptual design process, DOT staff will undertake further public engagement, similar to its existing Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) along each of the two corridors. This develops a deeper understanding of what specific needs each priority corridor has and what additional improvements can best meet those needs while ensuring the support of the community. Most importantly, future engagement should reflect an equitable process (prioritizing input and participation from those least likely to participate in traditional processes) and aim for equitable outcomes (prioritizing projects that meet the needs of people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds).
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Pedestrian Action Plan has been included as a project in Pasadena’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Inclusion in the CIP allows the City to pursue grant funding for the various phases of each project once the Plan is approved. Conceptual design and outreach for all ten corridors is estimated to cost $2.2 million. Additionally, 8 Pasadena Pedestrian Action Plan Update
October 25, 2022
the Department and City Council dedicated funding to begin concept design on the first corridor in FY 23 CIP.
SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH
DOT has recently implemented a Safe System Approach to traffic safety, based on national guidance from the Federal Highway Administration. The principles and elements of the Safe System Approach have been adhered to in developing the Pasadena Pedestrian Plan. The Plan represents a proactive approach to improving pedestrian safety and walkability.
A key safe system principle is that safety is proactive. The Plan represents a proactive approach to traffic safety by identifying tools to enhance safety throughout priority corridors and encouraging walking as an alternative to motorized travel. Additionally, the Plan addresses two elements of the Safe System Approach; safe roads and safe users.
The Plan identifies corridors for potential safety enhancements, addressing the safe road element. In addition, by encouraging walking through street improvements, the City is raising awareness in both pedestrians and motorists who use the street network of safe walking and driving habit and encouraging a mode shift from driving to walking.
NEXT STEPS:
Staff has determined that after receiving Commissioner and public comment at the September 22, 2022 TAC meeting, refinement of the plan is warranted and would be beneficial. As stated previously, while this item was recommended to move forward to the MSC by the Commission, DOT recommends that these concerns and comments be addressed and clarified before recommending approval of the Final Draft Plan. As such, the Department will bring a revised Final Draft Plan back to this committee within the next six months.

ITEM #2
35 DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Municipal Services Committee
FROM: Laura Rubio-Cornejo, Director of Transportation
SUBJECT: Bicycle Transportation Action Plan Implementation Update RECOMMENDATION:
This item is presented to the Municipal Services Committee as information only. There is no action on this item.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pasadena has consistently seized opportunities for healthier lifestyles, and focused on projects that reduce automobile dependency, reduce air pollution and energy consumption, and create more livable neighborhoods. Over the last two decades, this has been accomplished through updating and evolving bicycle network plans in conjunction with Mobility Element updates. Bicycle Transportation Action Plans were updated in 2011 and 2015. Each plan was driven by public participation through numerous community meetings and public advisory groups.
The 2015 Bicycle Transportation Action Plan (2015 plan) was adopted by City Council as part of the Mobility Element of the General Plan in August 2015. The 2015 plan outlined nine dedicated bicycle facilities along with several Roseways. The Roseways are a network of low-speed, low-traffic neighborhood streets ideal for comfortable bicycling.
Inclusion in the plan does not mean each facility is fully designed or ready to be constructed. Each facility is its own unique project and each requires public outreach, planning, final design, and funding to complete. The nine dedicated bicycle facilities and Roseways are listed below:
• Cordova Street – Roadway reconfiguration and Class II bike lanes from Arroyo Parkway to Hill Street
• Union Street – Two-way Cycle Track from Arroyo Parkway to Hill Street • Colorado Boulevard East – Roadway reconfiguration and Class II buffered bike lanes from Holliston Avenue to East City Limit.

PROGRESS SINCE ADOPTION:
In order to align with departmental resources, the Bicycle Transportation Action Plan was approached strategically. DOT identified key corridors that would require more intensive infrastructure and initiated the planning, engineering and outreach work. In line with this approach, larger projects such as Cordova Street, Union Street, and Orange Grove Boulevard became individual projects within the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), with years of preparation, planning, and grant funding pursuits. As work on major bicycle corridors was initiated, the Roseways were advanced. Work on the Greenways was initiated in 2019.
Roseways
The Roseway network was fully implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Department of Transportation. Each Roseway segment involved working with local residents and council districts to ensure that signage and striping met the aesthetic expectations of each neighborhood while serving as an effective wayfinding network for visiting cyclists.
Similar to the Citywide Wayfinding signage program, Roseway signage was custom designed and manufactured to match the City’s branding design guide. This included matching black satin sign posts that resulted in a longer procurement and manufacturing process as compared to typical roadway signs. This consisted of wayfinding signage and sharrow striping on 21 miles of neighborhood streets over the course of seven different work efforts.
37 Bicycle Transportation Action Plan Implementation Update October 25, 2022
Orange Grove Boulevard
The Orange Grove Boulevard Roadway Reconfiguration was identified to be fast tracked to coincide with a large Water and Power project and Public Works roadway resurfacing project that rebuilt the entirety of the corridor in 2020. City staff hired several outside consultants to assist on the design and outreach effort in 2018. Due to public opposition to the proposed lane reconfiguration that proposed to repurpose two vehicle travel lanes into a center turn lane and two bike lanes, the project was defunded and removed from the CIP as part of the 2020 budget process.
Union Street Two-Way Cycle Track
The Union Street Protected Bike Lane project was adopted as a Capital Improvement Project in fiscal year 2016 following its inclusion in the 2015 plan.
The project began in earnest after staff successfully secured grant funding from Caltrans via their Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 round of grants in 2017 and supplemental Metro funding in 2018 for the design and construction of the project.
This allowed City staff to contract the years long design effort with a traffic and civil engineering firm. The first community workshop was conducted on May 9, 2018 at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. This workshop generated 102 comment cards from attendees. This feedback steered the design of the project for the next year. A second community workshop was held on May 2, 2019. This update incorporated the feedback collected in 2018 into areas of concern around driveway safety, accessibility concerns, preservation of on-street parking, and motor vehicle and cyclist conflict safety. This second workshop generated 56 comment cards.
Throughout this process, staff and the project design team continuously worked with the City’s Accessibility and Disability Commission and accessibility advocates to ensure that the project incorporated accessibility features in line with national standards. Staff also met with the business community on a continuous basis through Playhouse Village meetings and one-on-one meetings with individual business owners. This included meetings between staff and business owners with outside independent traffic engineers to assess potential impacts to specific locations. These meetings refined business operation features into the project such as loading zones, on-street parking, and driveway safety features such as raised crossings and signage at busier driveways.
Staff also met with project development teams of several developments that are or scheduled for construction along the project corridor to ensure that the project would complement their work. This essential effort and exploration of project enhancements such as mid-block pedestrian crossings to parking spaces, the reconstruction of every driveway on the street, resulted in an extended design schedule.
As the project design took form, several rounds of internal revisions were explored in order to keep the project’s estimated cost within the original estimate from 2017. This included the elimination of the replacement of each traffic signal poles and arms in favor of using as many existing traffic signal poles and arms as possible.
The project design went to a third round of broad community outreach in early 2020.
This outreach was conducted online via the project website and included recorded video 38 Bicycle Transportation Action Plan Implementation Update October 25, 2022
presentations to illustrate features that were of concern to residents, the business community, the accessibility community, and bicyclists. Further feedback was collected via the website throughout 2020.
The project design was finalized in summer 2021 and prepared for construction bids through fall 2021. With a viable construction bid, staff initiated a final round of meetings with accessibility staff and specific businesses throughout February and March 2022.
These meetings provided final adjustments to accessible parking and commercial loading zone needs that will be incorporated into the design during the pre-construction process.
The construction bid was advertised in January 2022 and awarded by City Council to California Professional Engineering, Inc. of La Puente, CA on March 14, 2022. The project broke ground on June 20, 2022 and is scheduled for completion in spring 2023.
Once completed, this bike facility will stretch from Hill Avenue to Arroyo Parkway. The total project budget is $8.3 million dollars.
Cordova Street Enhancements
This project is an extension of the previously installed East Cordova Street lane reconfiguration project from June 2010, which reconfigured East Cordova Street between Lake Avenue and Hill Avenue from a four-lane undivided roadway to a two-lane divided roadway with a center turn lane and Class II bike lanes.
A traffic study was commissioned in June 2011 to evaluate the effects of the Cordova project and found that a potential reconfiguration improved the level of service for bicycling with no significant impacts to auto, transit, or pedestrian levels of service. Based on the positive outcome of the East Cordova Street project, the current project was proposed as a way to replicate the results and provide bicycle connectivity on Cordova Street from Lake Avenue to Arroyo Boulevard. The project was adopted as a Capital Improvement Project in Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 and received initial funding for design in FY 2014 from a Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) grant.
The first community design workshop was held at Pasadena Presbyterian Church on July 16, 2014. This workshop helped identify and rank project components, with curb extensions, lane reductions, and bike lanes found to be the most desired. A second community design workshop was held on September 11, 2014 and provided additional feedback on the components identified in the July 2014 meeting.
The final design of the proposed improvements began during FY 2019, after additional funding was identified and the project finally fully funded. The project design was reintroduced to residents in a public design update meeting on January 8, 2019 at the First United Methodist Church. An update was provided to the Transportation Advisory Commission on January 24, 2019. The design was completed in FY 2021. Residents along Cordova Street between Arroyo Boulevard and Lake Avenue were invited to view and comment on the final design through the project website via postcard in fall 39 Bicycle Transportation Action Plan Implementation Update October 25, 2022
2021. This last outreach effort was conducted virtually in consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City received Caltrans authorization to proceed with the construction bid advertisement in May 2022. No acceptable bids were received and the construction project was re-advertised in July 2022 with a scheduled construction start of February 2023. Once constructed, this bike facility will stretch from Hill Avenue to Arroyo Parkway.
The total budget of this project is $4.3 million dollars.
Greenways
With both Cordova Street and Union Street projects having advanced past the critical public outreach phase and into engineering design, DOT began to advance the four of the Greenway projects. The 2015 plan proposed Greenways as an enhanced set of calm, low traffic corridors with targeted traffic calming and gap crossing improvements such as narrower curbs and traffic signals. The four Greenways selected included Wilson Avenue, El Molino Avenue, Sierra Bonita Avenue, and Craig Avenue. These four north-south corridors serve similar functions in that they provide ideal bicycle friendly connections across the 210 freeway.
Upon further review of the 2015 plan for these Greenways, DOT determined in 2019 that further study was needed to assess the feasibility and potential cost of implementing these four corridors. A North-South Greenway Feasibility Study was conducted by KOA Corporation. This technical study provided traffic impact level analysis of the four Greenways and was completed in spring 2021. Since these Greenway projects run through residential neighborhoods and the initially proposed elements would potentially affect on-street parking, the configuration of local intersections, and signage, a greater emphasis must be placed on localized neighborhood outreach for these projects.
DOT is now actively pursuing grants and beginning the public outreach process to build upon the feasibility study, seek community input and advance these four Greenways into the design phase. As part of an affordable housing development on Walnut Street, the City was awarded funds to advance the Craig Avenue Greenway in spring 2022. An initial round of four public outreach meetings were held in April and May of 2022 for the residents of Craig Avenue. Department staff will refine the project through the summer based on this feedback and re-engage residents in the fall. Additionally, the Department dedicated funding to begin the outreach and design process for the El Molino Avenue Greenway in FY 2023. Planning, outreach, and project design for these first two Greenways, Craig Avenue and El Molino Avenue, is anticipated to take two to three years in order to provide several rounds of outreach for each corridor. Work on these corridors will be prioritized and advanced as funding is available.
Future work on the Greenways of Sierra Bonita Avenue and Villa Street will start when both the Craig and El Molino Avenue Greenways are advanced far enough into design and potential CIP adoption, conservatively by the end of FY 2024.

Shared Mobility
Under a separate report to the Municipal Services Committee, the Department will make recommendations for a future shared mobility program in the City. A bike sharing program can increase overall ridership and help advance outreach efforts as we continue to implement various elements from the Bicycle Transportation Action Plan.
Additionally, with the construction of two of the key east-west bike corridors expected in the next year, shared mobility devices such as electric bikes will have more places to ride safely and become more ubiquitous.
NEXT STEPS:
With two major bicycle corridors under construction and 21 miles of Roseways completed, DOT is focused on advancing the four Greenways. In addition to what has been implemented, three miles are under construction and the remaining nine miles are in the early planning or design phases. Attachment B provides a more detailed summary of the current status for each of the projects identified in the 2015 Bicycle Transportation Action Plan. The Bicycle Transportation Action Plan is planned to be updated with the next update of the Mobility Element of the General Plan. At which point 33 miles of bicycle infrastructure identified in the 2015 Plan will have been implemented.

51 ITEM #3
52 DATE: October 25, 2022
TO: Municipal Services Committee
FROM: Laura Rubio-Cornejo, Director
SUBJECT: Information Item – Shared Mobility
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Department of Transportation (DOT) continues to study potential shared mobility options for the City of Pasadena. Staff has conducted a review of current best practices, industry trends, national guidelines and state and local regulations. DOT has also been engaged with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) as it is reviewing and considering changes to their existing Bikeshare program and have been supporting Active SGV in its recently launched e-bike program. This information item is provided to share the status of local shared mobility programs and identify items to be considered for a Pasadena shared bicycle programs as well as electric scooter programs. In order to obtain information from shared micro-mobility vendors, DOT will issue a Request for Information (RFI) to answer key questions and determine the viability of an independent shared mobility program in comparison to other regional bike share programs sponsored by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG).
BACKGROUND:
Shared mobility and micromobility refer to transportation options over short distances often provided by single-person vehicles such as bicycles and scooters. In the past decade, opportunities have emerged for use of shared mobility through private vendors using smartphone applications that offer options such as shared docked bicycles, dockless bicycles, electric bicycles (e-bikes), electric scooters (e-scooters), and other devices as the technologies continue to expand.
The availability of smartphone applications have made it convenient and easy for users to access shared mobility devices. The rapid growth in the number of shared mobility trips in the past decade and the introduction of e-scooters have required cities to focus new attention on how best to offer and regulate these services, from both a safety and an equity perspective. While the demand for shared mobility devices experienced a sharp reduction during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of these devices is now beginning to increase once again. The consideration of a shared mobility program poses unique challenges and opportunities for the City to address. 53 Shared Mobility
October 25, 2022
Existing City Plans
A bike share program would be consistent with and advance the objectives and policies of the Mobility Element of the City’s General Plan. One objective states that the City should encourage walking, biking, transit, and other alternatives to motor vehicles.
Additionally, Policy 2.10 of the Mobility Element states that the City should explore bicycle share programs or any other bicycle programs that will provide greater access to bicycles for visitors and those that may not own a bicycle.
Pasadena’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) also highlights implementation of a bike share program as a near-term implementation goal and action as part of expanding Pasadena’s bicycle and pedestrian network. The CAP specifically states that DOT should make bicycles more accessible to residents by coordinating with Metro to implement a bike share program.
2017 Bike Share Program
Regional agencies such as Metro have partnered with local jurisdictions to help develop local programs for shared mobility. In July 2017, a Metro Bike Share pilot program was launched in Pasadena. Through the life of the pilot, monthly ridership averaged between
0.2 and 0.4 rides per bike per day for the roughly 300 bikes docked in 31 stations across the City. With low revenue and no title sponsorship to offset operating costs, the program was not fiscally sustainable for the City, and was terminated. Metro bikes and stations were removed from the City of Pasadena in August 2018.
The cost share for the 2017 program included Metro covering 35% of operation and maintenance costs and 50% of the capital costs while the City was responsible for the remaining 65% of the operations and maintenance costs and 50% of the capital costs.
For the first year of the program, the total capital cost was estimated at $2,071,574 with a Metro contribution of $735,085 and a City contribution of $1,336,489. The City Council appropriated a total of $1,729,094 in funds from Measure R Local Return (Fund 236) through FY 2018 to pay the expected operations and maintenance costs. The City’s average monthly cost after revenue was approximately $98,000 per month.
Current Metro Program
Metro continues its operation in the City of Los Angeles (LA) where currently there are over 1,500 bikes and 220 bike stations throughout the city with 225,000 passes sold as of May 2022. This program offers docked regular and docked e-bike options to its users.
Metro Bike Share charges single rides at a rate of $1.75 for every 30 minutes. The program also offers long-term passes for $5 per day, $17 per month, and $150 per year, which allows riders to take an unlimited number of trips that are less than 30 minutes.
Riders must pay an additional $1.75 for every contiguous 30 minutes beyond the first 30 minutes. For e-bike use, there is an additional $1 fee for casual riders to unlock the bikes. This fee is waived for those holding a monthly or yearly pass. 54 Shared Mobility
October 25, 2022
The Metro Bike Share program offers reduced fare passes for those who qualify and is one of the most affordable programs in the nation. This program is the only program that is integrated as part of the Metro’s existing public transit system using the Transit Access Pass (TAP) card. The TAP card is a contactless smart card used for automated fare collection on most public transit services within LA County, including Pasadena and Foothill transit buses.
Since the program in Pasadena ended, Metro has been operating under the same terms with which they had approached Pasadena in 2017. Metro’s five-year contract with Bicycle Transit Systems (BTS) ended in July 2022. Metro is considering operational and administrative changes to the program, including expanding the use of e-bikes. Metro is also looking at ways to make the program more financially feasible for jurisdictions
The advantage of the Metro program is that administrative costs to operate the program are borne by Metro. The selection of vendors and the administration of contracts, maintenance of bikes and stations, and fare collection are all handled by Metro making it an attractive option for cities to sign on to with minimal need for additional staffing.
Once the Metro Board considers staff’s recommendations and provides direction, the City will assess the feasibility of re-joining the Metro program. It is anticipated that the Metro Board will consider this item in spring of 2023.
Current SGVCOG Program
ActiveSGV, a local advocacy nonprofit organization promoting active transportation, has partnered with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) to launch a regional e-bike share program for the San Gabriel Valley. The program is often referred to as a “Bike Library” where users can rent e-bikes for one month at a time. This program offers affordable, long-term sharing of electric bicycles to give San Gabriel Valley residents an opportunity to become more familiar with this form of mobility.
Participants are able to choose from two types of e-bikes: an all-purpose e-bike, or a cargo e-bike designed to carry larger loads and/or small children. Currently there are 828 standard and 12 cargo e-bikes available for rental for residents within the SGVCOG area. ActiveSGV has partnered with local businesses to allow interested parties to rent these e-bikes. In Pasadena, the SGVCOG has partnered with Around the Cycle, a local bike shop located at 1270 N Lincoln Avenue, to provide this service.
The program costs $79 a month for regular e-bikes and $129 a month for cargo e-bikes.
The program does offer a lower rate of $49 per month for students and $29 per month for lower income families.
This program is available to City residents and presents a viable option for a segment of the population to rent an e-bike without the higher cost of purchasing and maintaining the bike. The program does not require any funding or involvement from the City of Pasadena other than promoting it as alternative or providing venues for bike rentals.
The funding for this program will come from a $4.5 million greenhouse gas-reduction grant from the California Transportation Commission.

Shared Bicycle Considerations
As noted through the various programs presented above, shared bicycle programs come in various forms, from the type of program and operating model, to the type of bicycle used (standard, electric or electric cargo) and the type of parking (docked or undocked). These variables present opportunities and challenges to be considered.
Standard bicycles and e-bikes have a mobility advantage over other shared mobility devices in that, based on current regulations, they are allowed to operate on all streets within the City and on most sidewalks. While this is a mobility advantage, it can also become a safety challenge when considering the maximum speed of electric bikes and the need to share space with pedestrians on sidewalks.
From a bicycle parking standpoint, docked bicycle programs have become the preferred parking option for programs throughout the industry. An advantage of a docked bicycle program includes the assurance that the bikes are parked properly and not left strewn across the public right of way. From a customer convenience perspective, docked bicycle programs provide the user the reliability and consistency of having bikes available and located at a specific location. If e-bikes are utilized, a docked bike system allows the bikes to be charged while they are docked, rather than having to take them to an offsite location for charging. Docked bike parking also helps reduce theft as users keep incurring charges unless their device is locked properly. A challenge with docked bike programs is the identification of locations and potential power requirements of docked stations. Since docked bike stations utilize a larger footprint than electric scooter corals, they occupy more space in an already constrained environment. In addition, while solar power is an option for standard bike docking stations, hard wired power would likely be needed for e-bike docking stations, requiring additional planning, design and implementation costs. While bike share programs exist without the use of docking stations, they do not provide the benefits identified above. Should the City pursue an undocked bike share system, the City would need to consider identifying geo-fencing parameters and developing incentive programs to encourage customers to return bikes to designated locations.
Electric Scooter Considerations
E-scooters have become popular over the past decade in a number of cities both in the United States and around the world. They can be a suitable alternative to conventional means of transportation, especially for shorter distances. Users can start their journey within seconds and can simply park the scooter at a nearby parking space, which is usually more convenient than parking a car.
Although e-scooters have some advantages, they also present some safety concerns for cities that must be considered and proactively addressed. Street conditions, comfort, and sharing space with motor vehicles can influence where and if people ride e- scooters. To ensure a successful program, municipalities should consider making streets safer by implementing new policies, urban designs, and most importantly by building out existing bike and scooter infrastructure.
56 Shared Mobility
October 25, 2022
Some crashes have occurred when users underestimate the speed and the dangers related to the use of e-scooters. Additionally, since e-scooters are not allowed to ride on sidewalks and are required to operate on-street next to vehicular traffic, it makes them more vulnerable to collisions caused by vehicles or parked cars. According to data collected from National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), about 80% of scooter collisions and fatalities are vehicle versus scooter collisions. More than 60% of these crashes happened when a sidewalk scooter rider and driver collided at either a driveway or crosswalk. In these incidents, the scooter was almost always coming from the car’s right, where drivers likely are not expecting moving vehicles to come off the sidewalk and into traffic.
Pursuant to California Vehicle Code, (CVC) section 21235(b), e-scooters are limited to streets with a maximum 25 mph speed limit or in a designated bike lane. The CVC allows local jurisdictions to authorize through ordinance the use of e-scooters on roadways with speed limits of up to 35 mph outside of a bikeway, but is should be noted that e-scooter maximum operating speed is limited to 15 mph, creating a large speed differential in a travel lane shared by motorists and e-scooters. The existing City street network creates significant gaps for e-scooter riders as most of the primary corridors within the City are marked with higher speed limits, making it difficult to ride the e- scooters to access certain transit destinations, particularly on east-west corridors south of the freeway that provide access to the L Line stations, and on Allen Avenue.
Attachment A presents a map showing speed limits throughout the City for reference.
Another concern with shared e-scooters is that they are often left scattered in the public right-of-way, causing both physical and visual obstructions to sidewalks and curb space.
Cities have dealt with this issue by requiring regulations be placed for scooter parking, utilizing marked corrals or other techniques. However, this has not completely solved the problem. E-scooters continue to present accessibility issues for sidewalk users when blocking sidewalks, in addition to presenting issues of visual clutter to the public right-of-way. These issues are unique to e-scooters as compared to docked bicycles, which are typically predictable and organized. Lastly, from an operational use standpoint, the limited storage space of e-scooters also implies that they are not suitable to carry cargo or passengers.
SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH
DOT has recently implemented a Safe System Approach to traffic safety, based on national guidance from the Federal Highway Administration. Projects and programs initiated by the Department are assessed against the Safe System principals and Safe System elements that are the foundation of the approach. The implementation of a shared micro-mobility program will require the Safe Road User element as a focus of the program deployment. Education on safe use of shared mobility devices will be included as part of the program deployment as well as safety campaigns directed at motorists to be aware of bicyclists or e-scooters sharing the roadway. The Safe Road Element is also a critical component of this program in identifying locations for docking stations and/or corals and general roadway safety through the appropriate bicycle infrastructure within the roadway/bicycle network.
57 Shared Mobility
October 25, 2022
NEXT STEPS:
Staff has conducted a thorough review of shared mobility practices, including industry trends and national guidelines, and will now be reaching out to micro-mobility device vendors through a Request for Information (RFI) to address the challenges presented above, identify potential operational costs and relevant staffing needs, determine if a future shared mobility program should be limited to one mode (i.e. bikes versus scooters), and determine if the City should operate an independent shared mobility program, re-join Metro’s re-vamped shared bicycle program, or choose another approach. As part of this process, an RFI will be released by December 2022 to obtain information from interested vendors to allow the City to make an informed decision.
The RFI will help the City determine the following key factors and considerations:
• The capital and administrative costs to the City
• Fare structure for users of the system
• Staffing needs
• Equity considerations
• Number of devices for a city of our size
• Station siting locations
• Docking station requirements
• Bicycles vs. Electric Bicycles vs. Electric Scooters
• Safety records
• Data sharing methodologies
• Regulation modifications
Once the RFI process has been completed, DOT staff will return to MSC to share their findings and further recommendations.

To ensure the City is ready for personal use and shared mobility adoption, DOT staff is researching and relevant ordinances that may apply to the use of these devices. Staff is coordinating with the City Attorney’s Office on this effort. Should it be determined that any local ordinances require revisions, this will come back to City Council as a separate action.

Consider Regulating or Changing Through Local Ordinance * Does not include trails within the Arroyo
** Recent legislation prohibits cities from requiring registration of bicycles E-Bike Classes:
An electric bicycle is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts. Three classes of electric bicycles have been established:
C
lass
1: A low speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a motor which provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when a speed of 20 mph is reached.
C
lass
2: A low speed throttle-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a motor used exclusively to propel the bicycle and NOT capable of providing assistance when a speed of 20 mph is reached.
C
lass
3: A low speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a speedometer, and a motor which provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when a speed of 28 mph is reached.
T
he operator of a
Class
3 electric bicycle:
· Must be 16 years old or older.
· Must wear a bicycle safety helmet.
· Must not transport passengers.
· May ride an electric bicycle in a bicycle lane if authorized by local authority or ordinance.
All electric bicycle classes are exempt from the motor vehicle financial responsibility, Drivers License, and license plate requirements (CVC §24016).

What is Shared Mobility?
• Shared Mobility is
a
n innovative
transportation
strategy that
enables users to
gain short-term
access to
transportation
modes on an as-
needed basis
2 63
Department of Transportation
What It Includes
• Car sharing, bike
s
haring, ridesharing,
on-demand ride
services, and
micromobility

2017 Pasadena Metro Bike Share Program
• Metro Bike Share Program
> July 2017, launch of program in Pasadena
> Low revenue
> No title sponsorship to offset operating costs
> Monthly ridership averaged between 0.2 – 0. 4
rides per bike per day for the 31 docked stations
Metro’s KPI = 1 ride per bike per day
> Termination in August 2018

Metro Bike Share Status
• Metro continues its operation in the City of Los
A
ngeles
> Over 1,500 bikes
> 220 bike stations
> 225,000 passes sold as of May 2022
• Program offers docked bike and docked e-bike
o
ptions to its users
• Offers reduced fare passes for those who qualify
• Integrated into TAP program
• Metro is reviewing and considering re- vamping
the program

Department of Transportation
Past Agency Partnerships
• San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
(S
GVCOG) Program
> August 2017, $4.55 million grant to form a bike share p
rogram in the San Gabriel Valley.
> Pasadena and 11 other cities submitted formal letters of
interest to participate in the program.
> Due to COVID 19 – G otcha ceased operations in
2020
> Pasadena never initiated a program
7 68
Department of Transportation
Current SGVCOG Program
• ActiveSGV has partnered with the
SGVCOG to launch a regional e-bike
share program
• Pr ogram offers affordable, long- term
sharing of e-bike to San Gabriel Valley
residents
> All- purpose e-bike – 828 available
> Cargo e-bike – 12 av ailable
• This program is available to Pasadena
r
esidents
• Does not require any funding or
i
nvolvement from the City

Department of Transportation
Shared Bicycle Considerations
• Allowed on all streets and most sidewalks
• Bicycle docking stations
> Designated station for parking rather than left strewn across t
he public right-of-way
> Theft is reduced in docked systems
• Use of docking stations for e-bi kes
> Allows for the e-bi kes to be charged while docked
• Bike docking stations require a large footprint
• Electrification requirements for e-bi ke docking
stations
• Undocked program would require geofencing and
i
ncentive programs

Department of Transportation
Electric Scooters
• E-scooters have become popular over the
p
ast decade
• Suitable alternative to conventional
m
eans of transportation, especially for
shorter distances.
• Like e-bikes, users can start their journey
w
ithin seconds
• Convenient parking
10 Credit: Arlington, VA
71 Department of Transportation
Electric Scooter Considerations
• E-s cooters are not allowed to ride on sidewalks and
are required to operate on-street with vehicular
traffic
> Vulnerable to collisions caused by vehicles or
pa
rked cars
• Often left scattered in the public right-of-wa y
> Physical and visual obstructions to sidewalks and
cu
rb space
11 • Limited storage space makes
them not suitable to carry
cargo or passengers
72 Department of Transportation
Electric Scooter Considerations
• Based on the California Vehicle Code (CVC)
s
ection 21235:
> E- scooters are not allowed to ride on sidewalks
> E- scooters are only allowed on streets with 25 mph
speed limits, unless they are in a marked bike lane
> Diver’s license is required
• Existing City street network creates significant
ga
ps for e-scooter riders
> Most primary corridors within the City are posted
w
ith speed limits over 25-mph

Next Steps
• DOT will prepare a Request for Information (RFI)
by D
ecember 2022 to obtain information from
interested vendors
• RFI will provide information to allow staff to
> Address challenges
> Identify potential operating costs and staffing needs > Identify preferred mode (bike or scooter), if any
> Determine if City should operate an independent
s
hared bike program or re-join Metro’s program
14 75
Department of Transportation
Next Steps
• RFI Key Factors and Considerations
> Capital and administrative costs to the City
> Fare structure for users of the system
> Staffing needs
> Equity considerations
> Number of devices for City of our size
> Station locations
> Docking station requirements
> Bicycles vs electric bicycles vs electric scooters
> Safety records
> Data sharing methodologies
> Regulation modifications
• Return to City Council in Summer 2023
