Ott, City Manag Date: March 11, 2010 Subject: Bidwell Training Program The City of Austin has recently been presented with an opportunity to partner with AISD, Travis County and Dell Corporation to conduct a feasibility study for a dynamic program that would provide educational opportunities and job training to youth and adults in our community. When I first arrived as City Manager, it was easy to notice the prosperity Austin had experienced over the years. However, like many cities, there was and still remains a void of opportunity for many of our unskilled adult workers and at-risk youth. At the time, I was only somewhat familiar with the work being done by William E. Strickland, Jr. to address similar issues in Pittsburgh, but was interested in his program and attended a presentation ofhis in Boston. At this presentation, I was enlightened and my interests reaffirmed. Through his examples of once­ desperate single mothers regaining a sense of pride after becoming productive workers to young children migrating from the streets to an afterschool art class, Mr. Strickland gave way to a truly inspirational cause. Mostly, I was inspired by the thought that through collaboration and partnership, we could duplicate the program in Austin and provide our community with an invaluable opportunity. It was also at this presentation that I learned Dell Corporation was interested in Mr. Strickland's program and that they were planning to bring Mr. Strickland to ... Austin for a meeting. I took the opportunity to coordinate other governmental officials to attend this meeting as well. On Monday, December 7, 2009, the Austin Community Foundation and Tim Mattox of the Dell Corporation hosted a community meeting to introduce a successful trade/arts program developed by William E. Strickland, Jr., to serve disadvantaged youth and unemployed adults in Mr. Strickland's Pittsburgh neighborhood. In attendance at this meeting were Board Trustee Cheryl Bradley, County Judge Sam Biscoe, Mayor Leffingwell, Council Member Cole, representatives from the offices of Council Members Spelman and Riley, and myself. Strickland is author of the book, "Make the Impossible Possible", about how his life was turned around by a high school art teacher, leading to an art scholarship at the University of Pittsburgh. In 1972, Strickland transfonned a failed vocational center in his home neighborhood into a center that provides after-school art classes (ceramics, digital media, sculpture, etc.) for high school students and vocational education for adults who mayor may not have finished school. The Bidwell's Center model specializes in addressing the training needs of the Pittsburgh commlll1ity. Currently, the program is preparing adults as "pharmaceutical techs", "chemistry techs", gounnet cooks, and photographers. Approximately 200 vocational/academic students attend classes from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. daily. In addition, 500 public school students, ages 13-17, attend an after-school arts program, where they receive five hours of arts instruction per week. Strickland believes that the arts are crucial to unlocking the students' imaginations, which he says is necessary to unlocking their potential. He said this program has data to show that parent engagement is high, dropout rates and absenteeism are down, and graduation rates are up. To date, the Bidwell Training Center Program has been replicated in Grand Rapids, Cincinnati and San Francisco. Plans are under way to replicate the program model in such communities as Boston, Charleston, Columbus and Minneapolis as well as abroad in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Israel. The $15 million center in Pittsburgh was built with significant help from the Hienz Corporation, and a large part of its operating budget is provided through state Vocational Education funds. The Dell Corporation will provide half the $150,000 budget for a planning grant if the Austin Community matches that amOlll1t. AlSO and Travis COlll1ty have agreed to provide $25,000 each to the feasibility study. I have authorized $25,000 from the City of Austin and expressed our commitment to perform the role of Convener, responsible for coordinating the study with the Bidwell Corporation, The 6-8 month planning process would determine the feasibility of replicating the program in Austin. I am very optimistic that the success of the Bidwell Training Program can be replicated here in Austin. We are in the process of completing the initial required documentation for the study and anticipate the study beginning shortly after all documentation has been submitted. Prior to study implementation, I will provide you with a more detailed briefing of the program. Please contact me or ACM McDonald if you have any questions. c.c. Assistant City Managers .'

  • 160517 Transit Development Plan.Pdf
    City Council Agenda Item Report May 17, 2016 Contact – Chance Sparks, AICP, CNU-A, Director of Planning 512-312-0084 / [email protected] SUBJECT: DELIBERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT A TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN COORDINATION WITH CAPITAL METRO. 1. BACKGROUND During Summer & Fall 2014, City Council received information related to budgeting & options for mass transit in the City of Buda. Staff provided an overview of the following services at as part of budget workshops: • Demand Response Service/Paratransit • Commuter/Express Service • Traditional Fixed Route Service • Flex-Route Service (a.k.a. Deviated Fixed Route) In addition, staff discussed the roles and processes regarding participation in Capital Metro and CARTs. As discussed, Buda is located in the Austin Urbanized Area and has been since 2000. This is important, as that designation dictates funding sources for mass transit and agencies that may serve as recipients of those funds. Since Buda is in the Austin Urbanized Area, CapMetro is the designated recipient of mass transit funds under 49 U.S.C. 5307. In contrast, CARTS is the recipient of rural mass transit funding under 5311. This means that Buda cannot directly contract with CARTS, but CapMetro can contract with them on our behalf. This is a strategic practice based on route needs, particularly for demand response services and flex-route services. In April 2014, Capital Metro revised their Service Expansion Policy to address circumstances like Buda, which cannot allocate sales tax in the traditional way other cities in the Capital Metro service area do due to lack of sales tax capacity.

  • Chapter 4 – Passenger Rail Systems
    The Texas Department of Transportation anticipates issuing an amendment to this report in early 2014 to reflect recent CHAPTER FOUR – PASSENGER RAIL developments on important rail initiatives in the state. Chapter 4 – Passenger Rail Systems To improve the coordination of the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of a statewide passenger rail system in the State of Texas, S.B. 1382 (Section 201.6012- 6013, Transportation Code), an act passed by the 81st Texas Legislature and approved by the governor on June 19, 2009, requires TxDOT to prepare and update annually a long-term plan for a statewide passenger rail system. The plan must include the following information useful for the development of the vision, goals, and objectives for the passenger rail system for Texas: • A description of existing and proposed passenger rail systems; • Information regarding the status of passenger rail systems under construction; • An analysis of potential interconnectivity difficulties; • Ridership projections for proposed passenger rail projects; and • Ridership statistics for existing passenger systems. This chapter provides the information required by Section 201.6012-6013, Transportation Code, plus additional information pertinent to understanding the challenges, issues, and opportunities for developing passenger rail services in Texas. Passenger rail services are divided into six categories in this chapter and are defined as follows: • High-speed rail is defined as rail operating at speeds of at least 150 mph non- stop or with limited stops between cities. • Intercity passenger rail is defined as rail serving several cities operating at slower speeds than high speed over long-distances with more frequent stops. • Commuter and regional rail is defined as rail primarily serving work commuters between communities in an urban area or region.

  • Commuter Rail for the Austin-San Antonio Corridor an Infeasible Option: a Review of the Carter-Burgess Report
    Commuter Rail for the Austin-San Antonio Corridor An Infeasible Option: A Review of the Carter-Burgess Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE AUSTIN-SAN ANTONIO PROPOSAL Commuter rail has been proposed as an alternative to highway construction in the Austin-San Antonio corridor. Commuter rail would involve upgrading a freight railroad right-of-way between the two metropolitan areas. The line would operate over a 110 mile route from Georgetown, through Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels and San Antonio to Kelly Air Force Base, at speeds up to 79 miles per hour. The ridership projection is reasonable. A feasibility report for the Texas Department of Transportation, the Carter-Burgess Report, projects ridership of 8,000 daily, increasing to 11,000 in 2020. This ridership projection is considered realistic, if not somewhat low. The ridership projection is inconsequential. Compared to the daily traffic in the corridor, the projected ridership is minuscule. At its peak, Interstate 35 has a daily volume of over 200,000 vehicles. Commuter rail would have little impact on traffic congestion. It is estimated that the proposed system would remove less than 0.5 percent of traffic in Austin and less than 0.4 percent of traffic in San Antonio. On average, the number of vehicles removed by commuter rail would be less than one out of every 200. Commuter rail travel times would be longer than auto. Commuter rail would require one hour and 43 minutes to travel from downtown Austin to downtown San Antonio, a trip that the American Automobile Association estimates at one hour and 20 minutes by automobile.
