Oceanside, CA - Ngokuhambelana noHlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwe-NCTD kunye nesiCwangciso soPhuculo lweNkunzi, esisicwangciso seminyaka emihlanu sokuphucula amava okukhwela abathengi, ukwandisa ukuhamba kwempahla kunye nengeniso yabathengi, kunye nokwenza inkonzo yokuhamba rhoqo, iSithili seNorth Transit District (NCTD) sihlaziya iBREEZE, I-FLEX, kunye ne-LIFT yeebhasi ezihamba ngaphezulu kwe-100 yezithuthi ezintsha.
Okwangoku, i-NCTD isebenza ngeendlela ezingama-30 zeBREEZE kunye neendlela ezi-3 ze-FLEX kulo lonke iNorth San Diego County. Ukongeza, inkqubo ye-LIFT ADA paratransit ihambisa abakhweli abafanelekileyo ngexesha elinye leentsuku kunye neentsuku kunye neekhilomitha ze-BREEZE kunye nezikhululo zikaloliwe ze-SPRINTER. Inkonzo yezi ndlela isebenza ngeebhasi ze-152 BREEZE, i-8 FLEX yezithuthi, kunye ne-40 LIFT yezithuthi.
Isidingo sokuthenga izithuthi ezitsha sisekwe kwezi zinto zilandelayo:
- Phantse i-111 yeenqwelo-mafutha ezingama-200 (56%) zeBREEZE, FLEX, kunye neLIFT ziye zafikelela esiphelweni sobomi babo obuluncedo kwaye zifuna ukutshintshwa.
- I-NCTD izibophelele ekuphumezeni itekhnoloji yebhasi ekhupha zero-njengenxalenye yesicwangciso sayo solawulo lwezithuthi.
- I-NCTD ibisebenzisana noMbutho wooRhulumente baseSan Diego (SANDAG) ukumilisela inkqubo eyandisiweyo yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya phakathi kwezixeko zaseCarlsbad naseSan Marcos.
“I-NCTD ijolise ekuboneleleni ngezithuthi ezikwimeko yokulungiswa okuhle kunye nokukhuthaza ukuphucula ukuthembeka kweenkonzo kubathengi bethu. Inkonzo yethu ibonelela ngohambo olubalulekileyo kubantu abaninzi abathembele kwi-BREEZE, FLEX, nakwi-LIFT ukuya emisebenzini, ekuthumeleni, ekuqeshweni kwezonyango, nakwimisebenzi yemihla ngemihla, utshilo uSihlalo weBhodi ye-NCTD kunye ne-Encinitas Councilmember Tony Kranz. "I-NCTD izinikezele ukomeleza ukuthembela koluntu kwindlela yokuhamba, kwaye ukukhutshwa kwezi zithuthi zintsha, iinkonzo ezintsha, kunye netekhnoloji ehambelana nokusingqongileyo ziindlela nje ezimbalwa esiceba ukwenza oku kule minyaka imbalwa izayo."
Ngokuhanjiswa kwezibhasi zintsha kunye neeveni, iminyaka yobudala ephakathi ye-NCTD's BREEZE fleet iya kuncitshiswa ukusuka kwi-11 yeminyaka ubudala ukuya kwi-4.6 yeminyaka ubudala. Iinqwelo ze-NCTD ze-LIFT, ngoku ezineminyaka yobudala eyi-6.7 ubudala, ziya kutshintshwa nazo zonke iinqwelo ezintsha zezithuthi. Ishedyuli yokuhambisa ye-BREEZE, FLEX, kunye ne-LIFT izithuthi ziya kwahluka.
I-BREEZE Icinezelwe yiGesi yeNdalo (CNG) Iibhasi: Ukuhanjiswa okokuqala kweebhasi ze-BREEZE kulindeleke ukuba kuqale ngo-Okthobha u-2020 kwaye kugqitywe ngo-2021. Ezi bhasi zintsha ziya kusiwa kunye nabaqhubi beebhasi izithintelo zokukhusela ukhuseleko kunye nokukhuselwa kwabaqhubi. Ukuthengwa kwezibhasi zintsha kuxhaswe ngokudityaniswa kwezibonelelo zeFederal Transit Administration (FTA) kunye nokuNcediswa koThutho lweSizwe (STA) lokuLungiswa okuLungileyo, uMthetho woPhuculo lwezoThutho lwasekhaya (TDA), kunye nengxowa mali yeBhunga leSET 1 (SB1).
Iibhasi zeZero-Emission: Iibhasi ezintandathu zombane zebhetri zamkelwe yiBhodi yabaLawuli ye-NCTD kwintlanganiso yeBhodi ye-Julayi 2020 kwaye kulindeleke ukuba ihanjiswe ngoJuni 2021. Ukuthengwa kwezibhasi zintsha kwaxhaswa ngemali ngokudibanisa izibonelelo ze-FTA kunye nokuhambelana kwe-TDA kunye neCaltrans Low Inkqubo yeCarbon Transit Operations Programme (LCTOP).
UKUPHILA ADA Iiparatransit Izithuthi: Ukuhanjiswa kwezithuthi ezingama-40 zeLIFT kulindeleke ukuba ziqale ngo-Okthobha u-2020 kwaye ziqhubeke ngoJanuwari 2021. Ezilishumi kwezi zithuthi ziya kuba ziibhasi ezincinci ezaziwa njenge- "cut-aways" kwaye ziyakwazi ukuhlalisa abantu abali-14, okanye izitulo ezine ezinamavili nezine abakhweli. Izithuthi ezishiyekileyo ezingama-30 zeLIFT ziya kuba ziivenkile zeFord Transit, isimbo esitsha seNCTD, esinokuhambisa abantu abakhweleyo abalithoba, okanye izitulo ezinamavili ezintathu kunye nabakhweli abathathu. Ezi veni zinkulu kunee-minivans zangoku kwaye ziya kuthatha indawo yeenqanawa ze-minivan. Izihlandlo ezintlanu zokupheliswa kunye neetoni ezisithoba zokuhamba zixhaswe ngenkqubo ye-SANDAG yeNkqubo yeZibonelelo zeZothutho. Isibonelelo sanikezelwa ngo-Matshi 2019 kwaye sanikezela phantse i-1 yezigidi zeedola ekuthengeni ezi zithuthi.
Izithuthi ezifunwayo zeFLEX: I-NCTD iceba ukumilisela inkonzo entsha yokufunwa kweemfuno ngo-Okthobha u-2021, kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukuba iimpembelelo ze-COVID-19 ziye zancipha kakhulu, ngaphakathi kweedolophu zaseCarlsbad naseSan Marcos eziya kuthi zibonelele abakhweli babhetyebhetye kwaye kube lula ukuhambisa iindlela zokuhamba ukunceda ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kunye nokuphumeza ikamva elizinzileyo njengoko kubonisiwe kwiSicwangciso seNgingqi se-SANDAG sama-2050. IBhodi yabaLawuli be-NCTD ivumile ukuthengwa kwezithuthi ze-12 FLEX On-Demand zokuxhasa le nkqubo kwintlanganiso yeBhodi ye-Septemba 2020. Ukuhanjiswa kwezi zithuthi kulindeleke ukuba kugqitywe ngoFebruwari 2021.
"Abathengi bethu balindele ukuba siqhubeke sizama ukuphucula amava okukhwela," utshilo uMlawuli we-NCTD yamava abaThengi uBrian Burkett. Bacele intuthuzelo kunye nentuthuzelo, kunye nokuzama izisombululo ezitsha kwiingxaki ezindala. Ezi zithuthi zintsha zisisondeza ekuboneleleni ngala mava aphucukileyo ngelixa sijonge kwikamva lokuhamba. ”
