  • Capitol Corridor Service Performance
    CAPITOL CORRIDOR SERVICE PERFORMANCE In July 2016, the Capitol Corridor had one of its best months in the history of the service. Ridership was the highest ever, with a total of 128,655 passengers, a 1.7% year‐over‐year (YOY) increase. Revenue was up 4.6% compared to July 2015. Compared to June 2016, On‐ Time Performance (OTP) slipped slightly from 96% to 95%, yet was still above the FY16 standard of 90%. The Year‐To‐Date (YTD) results continue to be in positive territory. Compared to FY15, FYTD16 ridership and revenue are up 5.5%, with the System Operating Ratio at 55%, five percentage points above the 50% standard. YTD OTP is 94%, which keeps the Capitol Corridor in the #1 spot for service reliability in the national Amtrak intercity passenger rail network. The FYTD16 customer satisfaction scores (through June 2016) are at 89% “Highly Satisfied”, one point above the FY16 standard of 88%. The following are ridership highlights for July 2016: Average weekend ridership for July was down 7% versus July 2015. To address these continued decreases in weekend ridership, the CCJPA is modifying the weekend/holiday train schedule effective August 22, 2016, to slot trains at times that align with typical weekend travel patterns. Average July weekday ridership yielded a 9% increase thanks to continued growth on the trains serving San Jose/Silicon Valley and Placer County stations. Amtrak has sent detailed performance results (see attached) for June 2016 and provided below is a summary of the attached tables: OTP: June 2016 system end‐point OTP was a stellar 96% compared to 93% for May 2016.

  • Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan Community Workshop Monday, October 16 | 5:00 – 7:30 P.M
    Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan Community Workshop Monday, October 16 | 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. Sacramento Valley Station Green Room 401 I Street, Sacramento Workshop Summary Introduction On Monday, October 16, 2017 the City of Sacramento hosted a community workshop for the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan. More than 90 community members attended the workshop at the Sacramento Valley Station Green Room, located at 401 I Street in Sacramento from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. Project Overview The goal of the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan is to develop two design concepts for a new regional transportation hub, which includes 17-acres of property around the historic depot. The concepts will create a well-connected transit center, a gateway to the city, and a mixed-use destination with compact infill development. Workshop Purpose The purpose of the community workshop was to provide a forum for Sacramento community members and passing transit riders to review and provide input on different elements of two draft conceptual alternatives developed for the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan. These alternatives were developed based upon City goals and objectives, technical analysis, best practices in planning and urban design, and community input. Key elements of the alternatives include a mobility network, placemaking options, site programming, and future buildout. Workshop Format The workshop was set up in an open house format, with five information stations for community members to review and provide input on with post it notes and comment cards. At 5:30 p.m., a presentation began with remarks by Mayor Darrell Steinberg and Congresswoman Doris Matsui.

  • Capitol Corridor Performance Report
    Capito l Co rr idor Performance Rep ort THE CAPITO L CORRIDO R JOIN T POWER S AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fiscal Year 2009 was a year of mixed results for the Capitol Corridor. The challenging economic climate affected all sectors of the travel and transportation industry, including intercity passenger rail. Although our performance in FY 2009 was not as strong as FY 2008 – when high gas prices and a stronger economy drove record ridership – we continued the positive growth trend from FY 2007 and years past, and reinforced our record of prudently managing public funds to deliver a high- quality passenger rail service. In FY 2009: • Overall ridership fell 5.5%, revenue was flat, and our revenue-to-cost ratio fell to 47% primarily due to increased labor expenses and revenues that were below projections. • On-time performance reached an all-time high of 93% thanks to our capitalized maintenance program (now unfunded) and improved Union Pacific Railroad dispatching. This makes the Capitol Corridor the most reliable multi-frequency train service in the Amtrak national system. • Customer satisfaction scores continued to improve, despite poor economic conditions and extensive job losses. Over the past 11 years under CCJPA management, the Capitol Corridor’s service frequency has quadrupled, ridership and revenue have more than tripled, and our revenue-to-cost ratio improved by 56%. The CCJPA achieved these gains with very modest increases in State subsidy by constantly improving efficiency and reinvesting cost savings and revenues back into the service. Although ridership declined due to the slow economy we have continued to improve our service delivery, reliability, and customer satisfaction, which consistently tops the rankings of all Amtrak-operated services.

  • 7.2 Transit Lines
    User Guide and Model Documentation for SACSIM19 – June 2020 Transit Lines The major fixed route transit services in the SACOG region are explicitly represented in the transit networks as “lines”, or series of stops served by a transit vehicle at a specified service frequency. Table 7-1 provides a listing of the operators included. Each line operating on a fixed (or largely fixed) route, and with a published schedule, is coded into the SACSIM transit networks. 7.2.1 Transit Service Periods SACSIM fixed-route transit considers five different service periods: • Period 1, spanning from 5:00am until 9:00am • Period 2, from 9:00am until 3:00pm • Period 3, from 3:00pm until 6:00pm • Period 4, from 6:00pm until 8:00pm • Period 5, from 8:00pm until 11:00pm By breaking up transit service into these periods, SACSIM aims to accurately represent how transit service varies throughout the day, e.g.: • Transit availability and frequency differences throughout the day • How transit is affected by changes in highway traffic congestion throughout the day 7.2.2 Transit Line Attributes Table 7-2 provides a listing of the key variables coded for each transit line. • The NAME of the line. o For lines existing in the base year, the first 4 characters refer to the operator name: . AMTR – Amtrak Capitol Corridor service . AUBT – Auburn Transit . CSUS – California State University Sacramento Hornet Shuttle . ELDO – El Dorado Transit . ETRN – E-Tran, in Elk Grove .
