REVISED DRAFT FY19 SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN and CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OCTOBER 2018 San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District BUILDING A BETTER BART BUILDING A BETTER BART REVISED DRAFT FY19 SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OCTOBER 2018 San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District Robert Raburn, President, Board of Directors Grace Crunican, General Manager Short Range Transit Plan and Capital Improvement Program Federal transportation statutes require that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in partnership with state and local agencies, develop and periodically update a long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that implements the RTP by programming federal funds to transportation projects contained in the RTP. To effectively execute these planning and programming responsibilities, MTC requires that each transit operator in its region that receives federal funding through the TIP prepare, adopt, and submit to MTC a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) that includes a Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Schedule, cost, and performance data used to generate this SRTP/CIP were based upon the most current information available as of October 2018.

  • December 8, 2020 the Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State Of
    December 8, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Bay Area transit systems continue to struggle in the face of dramatically reduced ridership and revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenge was already the most significant crisis in the history of public transportation, and now it has persisted far longer than any of us would have predicted. Since the beginning, our workers have been on the front lines, doing their jobs as essential workers, responsible for providing other front line workers with a way to safely travel to and from essential jobs. Now that the availability of a vaccine is on the horizon, we are proud to echo the attached call from the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). Specifically, we urge you to work to ensure that transit, paratransit, and school transportation workers are prioritized along with other essential workers to receive the vaccine following the critical need to vaccinate the State’s healthcare workers. Even with reduced ridership, an average of 8 million monthly riders continue to depend on Bay Area transit services. These riders are the healthcare workers, grocery clerks, caregivers, emergency services personnel and others doing the critical work that has kept California functioning during the pandemic. They cannot continue to do so without access to reliable public transportation, and are therefore dependent on the health of the transit workers that serve them every day. Our agencies have worked hard to ensure the public health of riders and transit workers during this crisis. We coordinated to develop the Riding Together: Bay Area Healthy Transit Plan, which includes a baseline set of measures aimed at minimizing virus transmission on our systems.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION Total projected five-year cost of the EasyPass program is $774,453. Funds for calendar year 2021 are available in the Payroll Deduction Trust Fund (Fund 013), and future fiscal years funding is subject to appropriation in those annual budgets. Based upon the current estimated minimum pool of 1,402 passes (one pass per employee), the City will remit payment to AC Transit over the life of the contract as projected here: Contract Period Minimum Annual Cost Total Annual Employee Pool Per Pass Contract Costs1 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2021 1,402 $106.15 $148,826 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2022 1,402 $106.15 $148,826 1/1/2022 - 12/31/2023 1,402 $110.48 $154,891 1/1/2023 - 12/31/2024 1,402 $114.80 $160,955 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2025 1,402 $114.80 $160,955 Total $774,453 1 Calculation of total annual contract costs is based upon AC Transit’s level of service score allocated to every COB worksite (approximately 30 as of October 2020), combined into a weighted average that is then multiplied by minimum pool of participants.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tim Kelley Consulting (TKC) was engaged to conduct an Historical Resource Evaluation (HRE) for 2556 Telegraph Avenue, a steel frame brick faced commercial building constructed circa 1946, with a 1962 addition, in Berkeley’s LeConte neighborhood. TKC conducted a field survey, background research of public records, and a literature and map review to evaluate the subject property according to the significance criteria for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and the City of Berkeley’s Landmarks Preservation Ordinance. Subsequent sections of this report present the detailed results of TKC’s research. Based on that research, TKC concludes that 2556 Telegraph is not eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, nor does it appear eligible for listing as a City Landmark, Structure of Merit, or contributor to an identified historic district. Accordingly, 2556 Telegraph does not appear to be a historical resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act. REV 2.

  • As a Longtime Fan of NHK World's Japan Railway Journal, I've Seen
    ISSUE 3 MAY 3, 2020 watching. Spuzz’s 2003 review also points out that there is even “a cute animated character which adds NOTHING to the film.” Who could pass on that? During World War II, the Key System temporarily expanded and ran trains directly to the Richmond Shipyard from 40th and San Pablo. The railroad was built using scrap material and decommissioned New York subway cars. The Key Route’s reign ended in 1958, and its privately-held services were replaced by public transit agencies AC Transit (which bought out the Key System) and later BART. P.S. if you want to have a good time with conspiracy theories, check out the demise of the Key Route as a factor in the GM Streetcar Conspiracy, which weirdly I had never realized is the basis for the plot of the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?! Vestiges of the Key Route still linger on in the East Bay. I was most excited to learn that the mysterious tunnel behind the Target on the West Oakland-Emeryville border was actually a subway for Key System trains (and now leads to a sewer that is part of East Bay MUD). As a longtime fan of NHK World’s Japan train hopper serial killer who struck on NOTE: the Key System also included Railway Journal, I’ve seen the our railroad line here in 1996. Finally, ferries, which leads to my perpetual aftermath of many Shinkansen I did a deep dive into historic East Bay question: WHY IS THERE NO FERRY SERVICE derailments. I never thought I’d see railways.
