  • 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.

I walked the entire perimeter of the yard, was not able to determine that any work was being done on any of the three engines. Last train to leave the station was 9:37pm on Sunday night, was last observed at 1:45am Monday morning, still idling. As I am writing this at nearly 2am all three trains continue to idle in an empty yard, resonating for blocks in every direction. 1. Why are these trains idling more than 60 minutes before departure? 2. Why are these trains not using Wayside power? 3. If wayside power is not available, when will wayside power be restored to San Francisco Station? I would ask that trains continue to use wayside power! Several thousand people are directly impacted by the noise. Caltrain has committed to using wayside power when at the station to reduce idling. Now more than ever citizens of San Francisco are staying at home and having to endure excessive idling not just at night, but during the day as well.

  • Altamont Corridor Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor Altamontaltamont Corridor Corridor Vision: Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor
    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.
