  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.

  • A Whopping 10 New BART Stations May Be Coming. in an Article
    A whopping 10 new BART stations may be coming. In an article appearing in tomorrow's San Francisco Chronicle, it's being announced that BART's long-delayed South Fremont Station, in the Warm Springs area of Fremont, WILL finally open in October. Meanwhile, construction of what's being termed an "eBART" extension to Antioch from Pittsburg/Bay Point will apparently open months earlier than the 2018 opening previously announced. The "e" in eBART stands for East Contra Costa County. Two new stations are being built for it, one in Pittsburg Center and one in Antioch. According to the BART site, passenger service on the new line is now expected to start in the winter of 2017. The project is being built in coordination with an effort to widen Highway 4. BART will also improve public space around the Downtown Berkeley station's plaza, with new commerce, arts and entertainment, sidewalks, and landscaping. In the future, BART will be coming to Silicon Valley. The 16- mile extension envisions starting the line at the new Warm Springs Station in Fremont and then building a Milpitas Station and Berryessa (named for Berryessa Road) Station in San Jose. BART would then descend into a 5 mile subway tunnel, continue through downtown San Jose, and end at street level near the existing Caltrain station in the city of Santa Clara. The Milpitas Station is expected to be completed in the last quarter of next year. It's already being built. Here's the latest Milpitas video update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jbsetHHZq0 The Berryessa Station is also already under construction.

Urban designers, researchers, planners, and policy makers have continuously examined the land use transportation nexus in order to develop methods to efficiently guide transit funding to encourage alternate modes of travel. The United States is in the middle of a paradigm shift in generational behaviors. Baby boomers are downsizing and according to the Urban Land Institute are looking for more location-efficient residences. Similarly, Generation Y’s attitudes are focused on living and working in close proximity.
