(Exhibit 1-3) DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION: Oceanside-Escondido Rail Project. (Exhibit 4) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North County Transit District (NCTD) proposes the Oceanside-Escondido Rail Project. The NCTD will convert an existing 22-mile freight rail corridor that runs parallel to State Route 78 (SR-78) into a Diesel Multiple Unit passenger rail system. The existing right of way connects the cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, and unincorporated areas of San Diego County. The project includes the construction of 1. 7 miles of new track to provide service to California State University, San Marcos (inland of the coastal zone). The line will have 15 stations (two that are in the coastal zone) and the system will be single-tracked with three sections of passing track, each 3.5 miles in length. The existing track supports three freight rail round trips per week. After the completion of the proposed project, NTCD will operate a maximum of 72 passenger trains per day in addition to the freight traffic, which will occur at night. The proposed project is consistent with the public access policies of the California Coastal Management Plan (CCMP).

The resolution also imposes special safety procedures on NCTD’s Sprinter Line’s high level station platforms with retractable gangways. These special safety procedures are necessary to ensure safe operations on NCTD’s right-of-way shared by both freight railroad trains operated by the BNSF Railway (BNSF) and light rail transit vehicles as permitted by the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA’s) and Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA’s) “temporal separation” provisions.1 1 See the October 3, 2006 letter from Grady C.

  • 014 Receive Update on SMTIP[Icon]
    April 2020 Strategic Multimodal Transit Implementation Plan The Strategic Multimodal Transit Implementation Plan (SMTIP) is a ten-year strategic plan that provides insight over current and future travel patterns and demand within NCTD’s service area, and identifies service and capital improvements that will support NCTD’s efforts to provide high quality transit services to North County residents and visitors over the long-term. The plan fol- lows a previous study, the Land Use Transit Integration Study (LUTIS), which identified, through technical analysis and input from stakeholders and the community, priority corridors, focus areas, and preferred strategies to improve transit efficiency and overall attractiveness. Started in August 2019, the SMTIP builds upon the findings of the LUTIS for the design of a ten-year strategy. Over the fall of 2019 and winter of 2020, IBI Group and its team of consultants have focused their efforts on the following tasks: • A review of existing plans, policies, and transit data to provide an up-to-date profile of existing conditions as well as track current and future initiatives to consider and integrate into the strategic plan. • A Transfer Survey, where surveyors went to busy intermodal stations to talk to transit riders and document their trips, with a special focus on origin and destination, as well as the modal combinations that compose their everyday trips. • A Location-Based Services (LBS) Travel Demand Analysis, anonymous cellphone-based data was used to identify overall trip characteristics within and around NCTD’s service area to understand the volume, length, and destinations of all trips in the region.
