  • Warm Springs Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report
    Warm Springs Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report May 7, 2015 Prepared jointly by CDM Smith and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, Office of Civil Rights 1 Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Section 1: Introduction 6 Section 2: Project Description 7 Section 3: Methodology 14 Section 4: Service Analysis Findings 23 Section 5: Fare Analysis Findings 27 Appendix A: 2011 Warm Springs Survey 33 Appendix B: Proposed Service Options Description 36 Public Participation Report 4 1 2 Warm Springs Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report Executive Summary In June 2011, staff completed a Title VI Analysis for the Warm Springs Extension Project (Project). Per the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI Circular (Circular) 4702.1B, Title VI Requirements and Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients (October 1, 2012), the District is required to conduct a Title VI Service and Fare Equity Analysis (Title VI Equity Analysis) for the Project's proposed service and fare plan six months prior to revenue service. Accordingly, staff completed an updated Title VI Equity Analysis for the Project’s service and fare plan, which evaluates whether the Project’s proposed service and fare will have a disparate impact on minority populations or a disproportionate burden on low-income populations based on the District’s Disparate Impact and Disproportionate Burden Policy (DI/DB Policy) adopted by the Board on July 11, 2013 and FTA approved Title VI service and fare methodologies. Discussion: The Warm Springs Extension will add 5.4-miles of new track from the existing Fremont Station south to a new station in the Warm Springs district of the City of Fremont, extending BART’s service in southern Alameda County.

  • 2015 Station Profiles
    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.

  • Muni Metro Guide 1986
    METRO GUIDE INTRODUCTION Welcome to Muni Metro! This brochure introduces you to Muni's light rail system, and offers a full descrip­ tion of its features. Five lines operate in the Muni Metro. Cars of the J, K, L, M and N lines run in the Market Street subway downtown, and branch off to serve dif­ ferent neighborhoods of the city. Tunnel portals are located at Duboce Avenue and Church Street and at West Portal. The light rail vehi­ cles feature high/low steps at center doors. In the subway, these steps remain flush with the car floor and station platforms. For street operation, the steps lower for easy access to the pavement.

    Combined Technical Memoranda 2.2 – Land Use Background 2.4 – Economic Analysis 2.5 – Operational Needs Assessment 2.7 – Station Operations and Multi-Modal Connectivity 2.8 – Preliminary Feasibility Assessment BAYSHORE MULTI-MODAL FACILITY STUDY Bayshore Multi-Modal Facility study TASK 2.2 LAND USE AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS INTRODUCTION This memorandum summarizes the land use and neighborhood access considerations in planning a Bayshore Multi-Modal (MM) Facility adjacent to the current Caltrain station and along Sunnydale Avenue. The memo identifies nearby opportunities and constraints in a planning a Multi-Modal Facility. Taking into account the Bayshore Intermodal Station Access Study (2012) and the Bi-County Transportation Study (2013), the memo considers Multi-Modal connections and the compatibility of adjacent land uses based on the current understanding (August 2016) of development projects in the area. Figure 1 – Study Area Map, showing Sunnydale Avenue preferred alternative 2.2-1 BAYSHORE MULTI-MODAL FACILITY STUDY STUDY AREA LAND USE The study area , defined as ½-mile from the edges of the Caltrain platforms, is currently a disconnected mix of industrial, formerly industrial and redeveloping areas, adjacent to residential neighborhoods, Bayshore Boulevard and US 101. But the immediate vicinity and the entire Bi-County area are poised for significant growth. The study area is expected to grow by 3,800 housing units and 13,810 jobs. The Multi-Modal Facility will play an important role in connecting these growth areas and existing neighborhoods to various modes of transportation. The major growth areas and projects are summarized in Figure 2 and discussed further in the “Current and Future Development Projects” section.

Introduction and Themes The Balboa Park Area (Subject Area) acts as a hub and boundary line in San Francisco, a crossroad between the Ingleside, Westwood Park, Sunnyside, Excelsior and Outer Mission neighborhoods. It also acts as a crossroad of historic themes: Balboa Park embodies distinctive characteristics of 20th Century recreational landscaping, as naturalistic, romantic treatments of city parks gave way to more rationalistic uses, including the incorporation of civic structures and game fields.
