Barrio Logan Trolley Station REGIONAL MOBILITY HUB IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Barrio Logan Trolley Station Mobility hubs are transportation centers located in smart growth areas served by high frequency transit service. They provide an integrated suite of mobility services, amenities, and technologies that bridge the distance between transit and an individual’s origin or destination. They are places of connectivity where different modes of travel—walking, biking, transit, and shared mobility options—converge and where there is a concentration of employment, housing, shopping, and/or recreation. This profile sheet summarizes mobility conditions and demographic characteristics around the Barrio Logan Trolley Station to help inform the suite of mobility hub features that may be most suitable. Barrio Logan is one of San Diego’s oldest and most culturally significant neighborhoods and job centers. The community is located south of Downtown San Diego and is adjacent to San Diego Bay’s bustling maritime industry. The Barrio Logan Trolley Station offers residents and employees connections to local restaurants and retailers, Chicano Park, and the San Diego Continuing Education César E. Chávez Campus. The station provides access to the UC San Diego Blue Line and a high frequency, late operating local bus route. The map below depicts the transit services, bikeways, and shared mobility options anticipated to serve the community in 2020. 2020 MOBILITY SERVICES MAP In 2020, a variety of travel options will be available within a five minute walk, bike, or drive to the Barrio Logan Trolley Station.

The station provides a convenient waiting area for the popular Blue Line Trolley that connects downtown to the U.S./Mexico border. As part of the San Diego Trolley Renewal Project, the Blue Line was renovated to offer a more comfortable transit experience for riders. The renovation included signal optimization for improved service, larger shelters, and raised platforms for ease of access. Building upon these improvements, the station could offer enhanced station amenities like WiFi, USB charging ports, and an interactive transportation kiosk that displays real-time information about regional transit services. Vehicle ownership in Barrio Logan is low and transit ridership is proportionally higher than other parts of San Diego. The recent investment in multifamily housing and major commercial destinations near the Trolley station provides amenities for both residents and visitors. The Mercado del Barrio shopping center, César Chávez Continuing Education Center, Chicano Park, art galleries, and restaurants attract neighborhood residents and visitors alike. The working waterfront is well-known for attracting large numbers of commuters each day. However, the connections from the Trolley to key Port of San Diego entry points are limited, encouraging many to drive alone, impacting parking along Harbor Drive. Given the neighborhood’s proximity to downtown, a wide variety of shared mobility options could be explored to enhance the travel experience for Barrio Logan residents, employees, and visitors. Three bikeshare stations in the northern portion of the community provide an opportunity to enhance cycling on the Bayshore Bikeway. Carshare and on-demand rideshare services could also greatly benefit these communities, but subsidies may be needed to ensure equitable access. Existing curb space within the community could be transitioned, where feasible, to accommodate shared services and passenger loading and unloading. Barrio Logan Trolley Station RECOMMENDED MOBILITY HUB FEATURES Mobility hubs depend on a complementary suite of transportation services, amenities, and technologies to deliver a seamless and reliable travel experience. Providing context-sensitive mobility hub features leverages existing transportation investments while anticipating the future of mobility in the San Diego region. Pedestrian, bike, and motorized solutions all play a role to enhance connections to transit while extending its reach into communities. The incorporation of electrified mobility options coupled with real-time technologies will reduce our region’s carbon footprint while providing a fully integrated trip planning experience. As on-demand and autonomous services become more ubiquitous, transit stations and their surrounding communities will need to adapt to ensure these services effectively meet the needs of users while positively contributing to the transportation landscape. REAL-TIME TRAVEL ENHANCED TRANSIT BIKEWAYS WAITING AREAS INFORMATION Real-time travel displays inform Providing safe and convenient The Trolley station could offer residents, employees, and visitors bikeways will encourage residents enhanced station amenities like of available transit and shared to choose biking as a way to WiFi, USB charging ports, and mobility services.

First, I would like to dedicate this to my great grandfather, Jerome Head, a surgeon, published author, and painter. Although we never had the opportunity to meet on this earth, you passed along your works of literature and art. Gleaned from your manuscript entitled A Search for Solomon, ¨As is so often the way with quests, whether they be for fish or buried cities or mountain peaks or even for money or any other goal that one sets himself in life, the rewards are usually incidental to the journeying rather than in the end itself…I have come to enjoy the journeying.” I consider this project as a quest of discovery, rediscovery, and delightful unexpected turns. I would like mention one of Jerome’s six sons, my grandfather, Charles Rollin Head, a farmer by trade and an intellectual at heart. I remember your Chevy pickup truck filled with farm supplies rattling under the backseat and a tape cassette playing Mozart’s piano sonata No. 16. This old vehicle metaphorically carried a hard work ethic together with an artistic sensibility.

  • License Agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC to Operate the North County Coastal Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Encinitas
    MEETING DATE: April 17, 2019 PREPARED BY: Crystal Najera, CAP DEPT. DIRECTOR: Karen P. Brust Program Administrator DEPARTMENT: City Manager CITY MANAGER: Karen P. Brust SUBJECT: License Agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC to operate the North County Coastal Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Encinitas. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Authorize the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, to execute a license agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC (in substantial form as attached) to operate the North County Coastal Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Encinitas (Attachment 5). STRATEGIC PLAN: This item is related to the following Strategic Plan focus areas: • Environment—promotes the use of emissions-free bicycles as an alternative mode of transportation. • Transportation—supports a transportation mode that accommodates more people with minimal impact on the community. • Recreation—promotes active lifestyles and community health. • Economic Development—addresses the “last mile” gap between public transit and local businesses and promotes tourism. FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommendation. Gotcha will bear the sole cost of deploying and operating the bike share program. Minimal City staff time will be needed to coordinate with Gotcha to ensure that the program operates in a manner beneficial to the City. BACKGROUND: Bike share is a service through which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a very short-term basis, allowing them to rent a bicycle at one location and return it either at the same location or at a different location within a defined geographic boundary. Transportation, especially travel via single occupancy vehicle, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Encinitas and the North County coastal region.

  • City of Del Mar Staff Report
    City of Del Mar Staff Report TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Clem Brown, Environmental Sustainability/Special Projects Manager Via Scott Huth, City Manager DATE: May 6, 2019 SUBJECT: License Agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC to Operate the North County Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Del Mar REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the City Council approve a license agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC (Attachment A) to operate the North County Coastal Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Del Mar and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND: The City of Del Mar is committed to reducing local greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the effects of climate change, while also offering viable transportation alternatives to driving. Del Mar has adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) that establishes a number of strategies to meet GHG emissions reduction targets, including facilitating safe, convenient, and affordable alternative transportation options. Specifically, Goal 14 in the CAP includes a strategy to “explore implementation of a bike share program…to provide another transportation alternative for traveling in town.” Transportation, especially travel via single occupancy vehicles, is a major source of GHG emissions in Del Mar and the other north San Diego County (North County) coastal cities. Offering and promoting programs like bike share, that replace vehicle trips with bike trips, is one way Del Mar can help to reduce emissions while offering more efficient and more affordable transportation modes for residents, employees, and visitors. Bike share is a service by which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a very short-term basis, allowing them to borrow a bicycle at one location and return it either to the same or an alternate location within a defined geographic boundary.

  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

  • April 30, 2014 Bicycle Sharing in the USA – State Of
    April 30, 2014 Bicycle Sharing in the U.S.A. – State of the Art (Session 3A) By: Robert Kahn, P.E. RK Engineering Group, Inc. Introduction Bike Sharing in the United States (U.S.A) has been on the rise for the last several years. In September 2012, I published an article in the ITE Journal that summarized the latest status of Bike Sharing in the U.S.A. At that time, there were less than 20 programs, but since that time, the number of programs has more than doubled. Bike sharing programs are expanding in the east, mid-west and western portions of the U.S.A at an astounding rate and more are planned in the near future. I first got interested in Bike Sharing in the Fall of 2007, when I visited Paris, France, and I was introduced to the Vélib' Bicycle Sharing System. At that time, the Vélib' program included approximately 10,000 bicycles with 750 docking stations. Since then, it has expanded to include over 20,000 bicycles with 1,451 docking stations covering the entire City of Paris. Bike Sharing is a short-term bicycle rental system that allows users to make relatively short trips of 30 minutes to an hour, instead of using other modes of transportation (i.e. auto, public transit, taxicab, walking, etc.). Bicycle sharing is not geared towards longer distance recreational trips and generally serves local trips to work, shopping, and nearby destinations. In an April 2008 article published by WesternITE – a publication of the Western District of the Institute of Transportation Engineers – I provided a detailed discussion of the Vélib' program.
