Madera Metro Service Design Guidelines (2022)

The Madera Metro Service Design Guidelines establish criteria and standards to ensure the Madera Metro fixed-route network can grow and improve following standard guidelines that deliver consistent service to customers and support the mission of the department.

 

Madera Transit Plan

The Madera Transit Plan (MTP) is a network assessment and proposed redesign of the existing Madera Metro fixed-route system. The MTP included developing revised route alignments and new or updated bus stop locations. The primary objectives of the MTP are to analyze the current system to develop recommendations for revising routes, update route schedules, and improve headway to provide a better transit service to the Madera community.

 

Public Transportation Agency (Madera Metro) Safety Plan - PTASP

The PTASP regulation requires transit agencies to incorporate Safety Management System (SMS) policies and procedures as they develop safety plans to manage safety risks. The regulation set July 20, 2020 as the deadline for transit agencies to certify that they have established a compliant agency safety plan. However, this FTA notice alerts transit agencies that they will have until July 20, 2021 to comply with the regulation and updates a previous notice of enforcement issued in April 2020.

History

The City’s first involvement in public transportation came in the mid-1970s in a climate of federal State programs that were focusing on seniors and mass transit needs. Senior citizen activists were the force that gave rise to creation of Dial-A-Ride service in Madera in 1978. Dial-A-Ride began providing general public, curb-to-curb demand responsive service. The Dial-A-Ride system today serves a City-County area encompassing approximately a five-mile radius from downtown as far north as Avenue 19, and as far south as Madera Community College on Avenue 12.

In 1998, the City initiated Madera Area Express/MAX, a fixed-route service that serves the City and parts of the unincorporated areas of Madera County. Service is at 35- or 70-minute intervals depending on the route. Inter-regional transportation beyond Madera is available through Greyhound or Amtrak.

Additional Information

Questions or comments regarding transit service provided by the City of Madera can be brought to the attention of the City’s Transit Program Manager. Scheduling DAR rides and scheduling questions can be answered directly by the City’s contract service provider, MV Public Transportation:
