In order to effectively execute these planning and programming responsibilities, MTC requires each transit operator in its region which receives federal funding through the TIP, prepare, adopt and submit to MTC a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). This report has been prepared in conformance with MTC guidelines for SRTPs and Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs). The preparation of this SRTP has been funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), through section 5303 of the Federal Transit Act. The contents of this report reflect the views of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), which is responsible for the facts, and accuracy of the data presented herein. The contents do not necessarily reflect the original views or policy of the USDOT. This report does not constitute a standard, specification or regulation, and does not preclude future labor contract negotiations or future BART Board deliberations regarding fares. All projects discussed are subject to state and federal environmental review as required by law. Specific projects and project funding are subject to approval by the BART Board of Directors. Projects that do not yet satisfy these requirements are proposed projects. Copies of the FY06 Short Range Transit Plan and Capital Improvement Program will available on BART’s website at www.bart.gov.

B-12 CHAPTER 1 Introduction The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) together are BART’s definitive source for financial forecasting and capital planning information in support of BART’s mission to provide safe, clean, reliable and customer-friendly transit service to the San Francisco Bay Area. Although producing both the SRTP and CIP is a regulatory mandate, BART has historically emphasized the utility of these documents far beyond compliance requirements and has chosen to expand the forecasting, analysis and textual content in both, presenting them as one document. The District has adopted this development approach to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the history and scope of the District’s operating and capital plans as well as a prospective look at financial opportunities and constraints BART faces in fulfilling its strategic vision and functional requirements. The following sections of this chapter set out BART’s accomplishments and challenges since the last adopted FY05 SRTP/CIP, changes from that document, and the SRTP/CIP’s relationship to other BART documents. 1.1 BART’s Recent Accomplishments and Challenges The year since the adoption of the FY05 SRTP/CIP has been one of significant accomplishment and challenge. Major changes have occurred in the areas of the operating budget, capital program development, earthquake safety, and system expansion. Although the District continue to face challenges on the operating side, BART was fortunate to have resolved several major operating budget issues in FY05. This now permits greater focus on the District’s considerable long-term capital needs. The FY06 SRTP/CIP introduces the concept of an expansive second generation renovation program, and describes program elements that are currently under development. As the overall program achieves greater definition, it is important to note that many elements require a commitment that will be necessary well beyond the timeframe of this document. FY06 Short Range Transit Plan and Capital Improvement Program 1-1 January 2006 Notable highlights of the District’s recent successes include: x Concluding labor negotiations in July, without the need for a “cooling off” period x Eliminating a four-year deficit in the operating budget through targeted expense reductions, introduction of expanded parking charges, and development of an effective budgetary response designed to fund the District’s retiree medical

The study is nearing completion and we are seeking stakeholder and public opinion on the initial draft findings from the study. Your staff have invited us to give presentations to your Councils on the West County High Capacity Transit Study’s highlights and gather community feedback. Contra Costa County BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION In the spring of 2015, WCCTAC launched its West County High Capacity Transit Study. A team of transportation consultants working with the WCCTAC Board and its Technical Advisory Committee and staff developed study goals and objectives and evaluated existing and future AC Transit transportation networks, land uses, and travel markets. The study’s consultants analyzed this information then developed an initial set of alternatives that then underwent a technical evaluation that considered travel time improvements, access to regional transit centers, transit market potential, service to low-income areas and markets lacking major transit connections, etc. BART Throughout this study process, community outreach efforts have been on-going. A study- dedicated website (www.WestCountyTransitStudy.com) provides the public with opportunities to check on the study’s status and review presentations and technical memos. In November 2015, WCCTAC and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) held a joint telephone town hall, which attracted 2,045 total attendees, with 700 callers at its peak and an average of 150 WestCAT 6333 Potrero Avenue, Suite 100, El Cerrito CA 94530 Phone: 510.210.5930 ~ www.wcctac.org attendees over sixty minutes.

Ward Allen chairs the BART Police Department Review Committee, which Board President Thomas Blalock created following the January 1 shooting of Oscar Grant on the platform of Fruitvale Station by a former police officer. “What we approved today has one of the strongest components of citizen oversight in the state of California. The process now moves to the state legislature. We urge our state representatives to take swift action so we can implement citizen oversight this year as we continue to work to make the BART Police Department the best it can be.” “We have a dedicated, professional and highly trained police force at BART and we want to keep it that way,” Director Joel Keller said. Keller is the vice chair of the committee. “Citizen oversight, if done properly, can help us achieve that.” BART NEEDS CHANGE IN STATE LAW TO MOVE FORWARD BART is a special district created by the state legislature and requires an amendment of the BART Act to create citizen oversight as adopted by the Board today.

  • 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.
