APPROVAL OF NOVEMBER 14, 2003 MEETING MINUTES (pp. 6-15) APPROVE 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS/COMMUNICATIONS/MEMBER COMMENTS Members of the public will have the opportunity to address the Transportation Committee on any issue within the jurisdiction of the Committee. Speakers are limited to three minutes each. Committee members also may provide information and announcements under this agenda item. Note: A letter is to be received from Caltrans re: I-15 Express Lanes Weekend Operations Status Report (Joe Hull/CT, Derek Toups) CONSENT ITEMS (3 through 7) + 3. 2002 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (RTIP) APPROVE QUARTERLY AMENDMENT (Resolution #2004-09) (Sookyung Kim) (pp. 16-26) The SANDAG Board, at its meeting on June 28, 2002, adopted the 2002 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), the five-year program of major transportation projects in the San Diego region covering the period from FY 2003 to FY 2007. During the course of the two-year RTIP cycle, SANDAG processes amendments on a quarterly basis. Amendment No. 16 includes requests for changes submitted by local agencies for various projects. The Transportation Committee is asked to adopt Resolution 2004-09 approving Amendment No. 16 to the 2002 RTIP. + 4. PILOT PROGRAM FOR TROLLEY TICKETING PROGRAMS (James Dreisbach- APPROVE Towle) (pp.27-33) In support of the April 2004 opening of PetCo Park, SANDAG staff and operations representatives from the Metropolitan Transit Services (MTS) have been exploring potential new fare programs that would benefit transit riders, the MTS operators, and the Padres. The two proposed fare programs are being reviewed by the MTS Board and are now forwarded to the SANDAG Transportation Committee for a finding of consistency with the overall regional transit fare policy. The first proposed fare program are a first half and second half-season pass with pricing based upon the existing expected day rate of the adult MTS regional pass and would be good on the day of Padres home games. The second proposed fare program is targeted to capitalize on the under-utilized downtown Trolley loop before and after games at PetCo Park. The pricing for this program is being based on the expected day rate of the former downtown Trolley monthly pass. Both programs are expected to reach new target markets and increase the overall awareness of mass transit. 3 + 5. TRANSFER OF EXCESS LANDS TO GROSSMONT COLLEGE (Dean Hiatt) APPROVE (pp. 34-49) The Grossmont-Cuymaca Community College District (GCCCD) has submitted a letter requesting SANDAG to participate in their Life/Safety Entrance Road project. The request is to have SANDAG authorize Caltrans to transfer a parcel of land at little or no cost to Grossmont College. The parcel, located at the entrance of Grossmont College was originally purchased with TransNet highway funds and would be used for their Life/Safety Entrance Road project. The project would serve to relieve congestion both entering and exiting the college, allow for safe travel from the adjoining neighborhood through the college to State Route 125, improve operation of the MTS bus service, Routes 854 and 858, and provide unencumbered access to the school for emergency vehicles. Transfer of the excess lands to Grossmont College would allow GCCCD to obtain funding for the improvement of their Life/Safety Entrance Road project. + 6. INTERSTATE 15 (I-15) MANAGED LANES/ BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) INFORMATION PROJECT STATUS (Dave Schumacher; Kathy Donnelly) (pp. 50-54) This report provides a quarterly progress update and a discussion of current issues related to project implementation. + 7. SENIOR/ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (Nan Valerio) (pp. 55-58) RECOMMEND The Subcommittee for Accessible Transportation (SCAT) has several proposals for improving transportation services to senior citizens. REPORTS + 8. NORTH - SOUTH TRANSPORTATION FACILITY CORRIDOR STUDY UPDATE APPROVE (Mike Hix) (pp. 59-60) The Working Group for the North - South Transportation Facility Corridor Study has met four times, discussing constraints and travel demand in the study area, and reviewing historical studies and actions affecting area circulation. Given the obstacles to providing a new north-south corridor in North County, the group requests policy guidance from the Transportation Committee regarding a more focused approach on localized improvements or connections. + 9. DRAFT REGIONAL SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN (RSRTP) (Conan Cheung) ACCEPT FOR (pp. 61-63) DISTRIBUTION The Regional Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) supports the vision of MOBILITY 2030 by providing a short-term (five-year) plan for transit system adjustments and enhancements. As such, it proposes how the region should balance the short-term needs of maintaining and optimizing existing services, while beginning to implement the long- term vision identified in MOBILITY 2030. The Regional SRTP will be presented for public hearing in January 2004 and adoption in February 2004. 4 + 10. 2004 STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (STIP): INFORMATION PRELIMINARY FUNDING SCENARIO AND CALENDAR (Jose Nuncio) (pp. 64-68) The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a five year transportation funding program that is updated biennially. Each new STIP typically carries forward remaining commitments from the previous STIP and adds two new years of funding capacity. For the 2004 STIP, however, no new funding capacity will be available. This report outlines the preliminary funding levels recently released by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) as part of the Draft 2004 Fund Estimate. Over the next few months, the region will need to review and approve the set of projects that will be funded out of the 2004 STIP, which will cover Fiscal Years 2004/05 through 2008/09. This report also presents the proposed calendar for review, discussion and approval of the 2004 STIP by the Board of Directors to be completed prior to the April 12, 2004 deadline. The CTC is scheduled to adopt the 2004 STIP by August 2004.

  • American Maglev Technology (AMT) Proposal
    American Maglev Technology (AMT) Proposal: Staff Review and Recommendation Approved by the MetroPlan Orlando Board at the meeting on December 12, 2012 American Maglev Technology (AMT) Proposal: Staff Review and Recommendation Background American Maglev Technology (AMT) has proposed to build, operate and maintain a privately- financed transit project in the Orlando metropolitan area with no public funding. The 40-mile project has an estimated capital cost of $800 million. The project is a fully automatic train system that is powered by magnetic levitation, or maglev technology. This technology lifts the vehicle from the guideway and provides directional motion. The first phase of the proposed system would operate between the Orange County Convention Center/International Drive area (utilizing the planned intermodal center) and Orlando International Airport with stops at The Florida Mall and the Sand Lake Road SunRail Station. Subsequent phases would include stations in the Lake Nona/Medical City area and along the Osceola Parkway corridor leading to Walt Disney World. AMT has spearheaded efforts thus far to advance the implementation of this project. However, the intention is to form a new publicly traded company called Florida EMMI, Inc. (Florida Environmental Mitigation and Mobility Initiative) that will design, build, finance, operate and maintain the project. At that point, AMT will become the company’s maglev technology provider. Florida EMMI, Inc. will bring together an array of strategic partners and more than 120 private companies, some of which are well-known in the transportation industry. The new company will be based here in Central Florida with an advisory board that includes some prominent individuals from our region.

  • Transit Service Design Guidelines
    Transit Service Design Guidelines Department of Rail and Public Transportation November 2008 Transit Service Design Guidelines Why were these guidelines for new transit service developed? In FY2008 alone, six communities in Virginia contacted the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation about starting new transit service in their community. They and many other communities throughout Virginia are interested in learning how new transit services can enhance travel choices and mobility and help to achieve other goals, such as quality of life, economic opportunity, and environmental quality. They have heard about or seen successful transit systems in other parts of the state, the nation, or the world, and wonder how similar systems might serve their communities. They need objective and understandable information about transit and whether it might be appropriate for them. These guidelines will help local governments, transit providers and citizens better understand the types of transit systems and services that are available to meet community and regional transportation needs. The guidelines also help the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) in making recommendations to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for transit investments, by 1) providing information on the types of systems or services that are best matched to community needs and local land use decisions, and 2) ensuring that resources are used effectively to achieve local, regional, and Commonwealth goals. Who were these guidelines developed for? These guidelines are intended for three different audiences: local governments, transit providers and citizens. Therefore, some will choose to read the entire document while others may only be interested in certain sections.

  • Transit Element
    Town of Cary Comprehensive Transportation Pllan Chapter 6 – Introduction At the time of the 2001 Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the Town of Cary had no bus service other than Route 301 operated by the Triangle Transit Authority (TTA). Since then, Cary has expanded its transit Transit services considerably, with a new local fixed-route service for the public and demand-responsive paratransit for seniors and persons with disabilities. TTA has added routes as well. As the Town’s Element population continues rising and travel demand increases, the Town plans to expand its local service, capturing riders coming from and going to planned residential and commercial developments. Situated amidst the Research Triangle of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, Cary is served today by multiple transit providers. Fixed route bus services within Cary are provided by C-Tran and TTA. C-Tran, Wake Coordinated Transportation Services (WCTS), and the Center for Volunteer Caregiving provide demand-responsive paratransit services. WCTS also provides rural general public transit via its TRACS service program; however, services are not provided for urban trips within Cary. Amtrak operates daily train service. This chapter describes current fixed-route transit and paratransit conditions, projected growth in the Town, and proposed future service changes. C-Tran Overview C-Tran is the Town of Cary’s sponsored transit service which originated as a door-to-door service for seniors and disabled residents in 2001. In July 2002, door-to-door services were expanded

    Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual—2nd Edition PART 8 GLOSSARY This part of the manual presents definitions for the various transit terms discussed and referenced in the manual. Other important terms related to transit planning and operations are included so that this glossary can serve as a readily accessible and easily updated resource for transit applications beyond the evaluation of transit capacity and quality of service. As a result, this glossary includes local definitions and local terminology, even when these may be inconsistent with formal usage in the manual. Many systems have their own specific, historically derived, terminology: a motorman and guard on one system can be an operator and conductor on another. Modal definitions can be confusing. What is clearly light rail by definition may be termed streetcar, semi-metro, or rapid transit in a specific city. It is recommended that in these cases local usage should prevail.
