View Reducing Parking at Transit Stations Rail~Volution Salt Lake City, Utah 8-10 September, 2005 Reducing Parking at Transit Stations Jeffrey Tumlin EVALUATING PARKING AT TRANSIT STATIONS • Effects on transit ridership – Transit Oriented Development (TOD): New households & transit trips – Parking: Park-&-Ride participants – Implications for encouraging future growth in ridership • Effects on traffic congestion – Walking, cycling & transit trips to station – Proportion and amount of vehicle trips to station – Implications in allocating of street right-of-way • Effects on revenue generation – Lease or sale of land: Land value with higher density & mixed use compared to parking – Development of land: Joint development, economic vitality – Productive use of land: Economic productivity, sales tax Reduced Transit Parking at Rail Stations Jeffrey Tumlin, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING TRANSIT PARKING • SkyTrain system in Vancouver, BC (TransLink) – Land use concentration around SkyTrain – Transportation supply – Transportation demand including low to no parking • Metrorail stations in Arlington County, VA (WMATA) – Urban village development – Multimodal transportation – Shared parking only (No park-&-ride) • South Hayward station in Northern California (BART) – Plans to develop area around station and improve pedestrian, bicycle and bus access – Determining amount of replacement parking Reduced Transit Parking at Rail Stations Jeffrey Tumlin, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting TRANSLINK SKYTRAIN SYSTEM Reduced Transit Parking at Rail Stations Jeffrey Tumlin, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Greater Vancouver Reduced Transit Parking at Rail Stations Canada – US BorderJeffrey Tumlin, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Vancouver’s Regional Planning Context • GVTA

e.g rapid transit network – Transportation demand- side e.g. pricing, TDM Reduced Transit Parking at Rail Stations Jeffrey Tumlin, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Land Use Strategy • Transport needs are derived from how people and activities are distributed • Concentrating population & jobs – Activity centers with transit-supportive densities – Residential densities e.g. high density residential

transit performance and ridership • No park-&-ride lots at transit stations Reduced Transit Parking at Rail Stations Jeffrey Tumlin, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Lessons & Results in Greater Vancouver • Increasing ridership and cost recovery –41% increase in ridership since 1994 –20% increase in ridership since 2002 –Ridership of 200 million by 2010 (33% increase) • Park-&-ride generally discouraged at stations –Allows access to transit & extends system BUT –Sterilizes land around stations –Disconnects city from system –Promotes low density urban development –Discourages all-day rides –Raises

    CAPITOL CORRIDOR SOUTH BAY CONNECT AUGUST 2020 Purpose Study Area and Project Elements South Bay Connect proposes to relocate the Capitol Corridor passenger rail service between the Oakland N Coliseum and Newark from the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) Niles Subdivision to the Coast Subdivision for a faster, more direct route. It will also create new transbay connections for passengers between the East Bay and Peninsula by connecting to bus and shuttle services at the Ardenwood Station. The project is not proposing an increase in Capitol Corridor service frequency or changes to UP’s freight service, but does not preclude service growth in the future. The relocation will facilitate the separation of passenger and freight rail, resulting in improved rail operations, efficiency, and reliability while minimizing rail congestion within the corridor. Proposed New Station and Railroad Potential Station Area Proposed Capitol Corridor (CC) Service Potential Station Considered and Eliminated Existing CC Service Existing Station CC Service to be Discontinued Station where CC Service Study Area to be Discontinued UP Improvement Area BART Station Benefits Reduce passenger rail travel time between Oakland and San Jose and throughout the larger megaregion to increase ridership on transit, ease congestion on the Bay Area’s stressed roadways, and decrease auto commutes. Diversify and enhance network integration by reducing duplicative capital investments and dif- ferentiating Capitol Corridor’s intercity rail service from commuter rail and other transit services, including BART’s extension to San Jose. Support economic vitality by permitting enhanced rail movement and the preservation of freight rail capacity in the Northern California market through the reduction of existing conflicts between freight rail operations and passenger rail service.

  • Mcconaghy House Teacher Packet Contains Historical Information About the Mcconaghy Family, Surrounding Region, and American Lifestyle
    1 WELCOME TO THE McCONAGHY HOUSE! Visiting the McConaghy House is an exciting field trip for students and teachers alike. Docent-led school tours of the house focus on local history, continuity and change, and the impact of individuals in our community. The house allows students to step into the past and experience and wonder about the life of a farming family. The McConaghy House is also an example of civic engagement as the community mobilized in the 1970’s to save the house from pending demolition. Through the efforts of concerned citizens, an important part of our local history has been pre- served for future generations to enjoy. The McConaghy House Teacher Packet contains historical information about the McConaghy family, surrounding region, and American lifestyle. Included are pre and post visit lesson plans, together with all necessary resources and background information. These lessons are not required for a guided visit but will greatly enrich the experience for students. The lessons can be completed in any order, though recommendations have been made for ease of implementation. We welcome comments and suggestions about the usefulness of this packet in your classroom. An evaluation form is enclosed for your feedback. Thank you for booking a field trip to the McConaghy House. We look forward to seeing you and your students!

  • 2015 Station Profiles
    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.
