    Altamont Corridor Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor AltamontAltamont Corridor Corridor Vision: Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor What is the Altamont Corridor Vision? The Altamont Corridor that connects the San Joaquin Valley to the Bay Area is one of the most heavily traveled, most congested, and fastest growing corridors in the Northern California megaregion. The Bay Area Council estimates that congestion will increase an additional 75% between 2016 and 2040. To achieve state and regional environmental and economic development goals, a robust alternative is needed to provide a sustainable / reliable travel choice and greater connectivity. The Altamont Corridor Vision is a long-term vision to establish a universal rail corridor connecting the San Joaquin Valley and the Tri-Valley to San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and the Peninsula. This Vision complements other similar investments being planned for Caltrain, which is in the process of electrifying its corridor and rolling stock; Capitol Corridor, which is moving its operations to the Coast Subdivision as it improves its service frequency and separates freight from passenger service; a new Transbay Crossing, which would allow for passenger trains to flow from Oakland to San Francisco; the Dumbarton Rail Crossing, which is being studied to be brought back into service; and Valley Rail, which will connect Merced and Sacramento. The Vision also complements and connects with High- Speed Rail (HSR), and would enable a one-seat ride from the initial operating segment in the San Joaquin Valley throughout the Northern California Megaregion. One-Hour One-Seat One Shared Travel Time Ride Corridor Shared facilities, Oakland, Stockton, Express service, integrated Peninsula, Modesto modern rolling ticketing, San Jose stock timed connections • The limited stop (two intermediate stops) travel time between Stockton and San Jose is estimated to be 60 minutes.

  • 3.17 Transportation and Traffic
    Environmental Impact Analysis Tri-Valley – San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority Transportation and Traffic 3.17 Transportation and Traffic 3.17.1 Introduction This section describes the regulatory setting and environmental setting for transportation and traffic in the vicinity of the Proposed Project (including all track variants, technology variants, and the Greenville and Mountain House initial operating segments [IOS]) and the alternatives analyzed at an equal level of detail (Southfront Road Station Alternative, Stone Cut Alignment Alternative, West Tracy Operation and Maintenance Facility [OMF] Alternative, Mountain House Station Alternative, and Downtown Tracy Station Parking Alternatives 1 and 2). It also describes the impacts on transportation and traffic that would result and mitigation measures that would reduce significant impacts, where feasible. There would be no differences in the physical impacts related to hydrology and water quality due to the diesel multiple unit (DMU), hybrid battery multiple unit (HBMU), battery-electric multiple unit (BEMU), or diesel locomotive haul (DLH) technology variants, so the discussion in this section does not discuss those variants. Potential impacts associated with implementation of the Proposed Project and the alternatives analyzed at an equal level of detail assume the larger environmental footprint at proposed and alternative stations associated with a potential IOS (i.e., Greenville IOS, Mountain House IOS, Southfront Road Station Alternative IOS, and Mountain House Alternative IOS) and/or the expanded parking in 2040. As such, the analysis of the Proposed Project and the alternatives analyzed at an equal level of detail below considers the potential impacts associated with a potential IOS and/or the expanded parking in 2040.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    CAPITOL CORRIDOR SOUTH BAY CONNECT Frequently Asked Questions DECEMBER 2020 PROJECT BACKGROUND WHY IS THIS PROJECT NEEDED? Shifting Capitol Corridor over to the Coast Subdivision will reduce rail congestion on the Niles and Centerville Line by eliminating 14 Capitol Corridor trains daily on those lines. It also provides riders with a faster, more direct trip between Oakland and San Jose and connects to existing transbay bus and shuttle services at the proposed Ardenwood Station. This passenger and freight rail operational improvement is one of several identified by State and Local agencies for phased implementation to improve our ability to connect and move people and goods within the Northern California Megaregion. As the only transit service that directly connects the Greater Sacramento region to the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, Capitol Corridor provides essential access and a travel alternative to driving on congested freeways in the area. WHICH STUDIES IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR THIS PROJECT? South Bay Connect service route was listed within CCJPA’s 2014 Vision Plan Update and 2016 Vision Implementation Plan, as well as in the 2018 California State Rail Plan and Plan Bay Area 2040. The project’s rail improvements are also consistent with the Alameda CTC 2016 Goods Movement Plan, Countywide Transit Plan and 2018 Rail Safety Enhancement Program, the 2017 Dumbarton Transportation Corridor Study, and Dumbarton Forward Design Alternatives Assessment. The collective plans establish a clear roadmap for Capitol Corridor that identifies service improvements to be implemented over time. PROJECT OVERVIEW WHAT IS THE SOUTH BAY CONNECT PROJECT? The South Bay Connect project proposes to relocate the Capitol Corridor passenger rail service between the Oakland Coliseum and Newark from the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) Niles Subdivision rail line to the Coast Subdivision rail line.

  • Memorandum 6.9
    Memorandum 6.9 DATE: April 20, 2017 SUBJECT: Introduction to Alameda CTC Rail Strategy Study RECOMMENDATION: Receive update on the Rail Strategy Study Summary This memo provides an introduction to the Alameda County Transportation Commission’s Rail Strategy Study. The Study will include a technical analysis of opportunities to improve the inter-regional rail access to and from the Port of Oakland, including understanding the needs of passenger rail services that share the railroad rights of way with freight, and propose a prioritization framework for advancing grade crossing improvements along key rail corridors. The Study is an outgrowth of recommendations contained in the Countywide Goods Movement Plan and the Countywide Transit Plan and will transition from high-level planning to a document with discrete, implementable improvements with defined cost, scope, and schedule. The Study is a one-year effort, and is expected to be complete in December 2017. This update focuses on preliminary information from the Existing Conditions analysis. The memo provides an overview of freight and passenger rail operations in the County, describes key features and conditions of the infrastructure, and identifies some of the major operational and infrastructure challenges for the rail system. Preliminary data on at-grade crossing issues is also provided. The memo concludes with a summary of next steps that will be undertaken to complete the Study. Background The rail system in Alameda County is a critical transportation link playing a unique role for both people and goods movement. Alameda County contains the core of the Bay Area/Northern California freight and passenger rail system.
