  • Staff Report
    STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Amtrak Pacific Surfliner MEETING DATE: January 19, 2006 AGENDA ITEM: 12 A STAFF CONTACT: Andrew Orfila, Michael Powers RECOMMENDATION: Receive summary on ridership by station for Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner Service SUMMARY: At the October joint meeting between SBCAG and SLOCOG, board members requested information on passenger rail usage. Data was provided to SBCAG by Caltrans and Amtrak staff that summarizes historical ridership patterns for Amtrak’s facilities in Santa Barbara County dating back to fiscal year 1999. Amtrak/Caltrans staff also provided ridership data for Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner route for the month of August 2005. This report can be used to track general Amtrak ridership trends and to develop potential market packages for the Pacific Surfliner and other passenger rail lines. The report also highlights interregional passenger usage of rail between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. In summary: • The data indicates a general trend of increasing Amtrak ridership in Santa Barbara County. • The Santa Barbara train station serves the most passengers within the County. There were 270,080 passengers that boarded (passengers on) or alighted (passengers off) at the Santa Barbara train station in fiscal year 2005. This total includes both train and bus ridership numbers. Ridership increases have been steady at the Santa Barbara station over the last seven years, but were down 8% from FY 2004 to 2005. • The second most popular station in the County is Goleta, with 66,531 passengers that boarded/alighted (trains plus buses) for fiscal year 2005. Ridership has increased significantly at Amtrak’s Goleta station, with annual increases of 51% from FY 2003 to 2004 and 46% from FY 2004 to 2005.

  • Proudly Serving Southern California for 20 Years Message from the Board of Directors 1
    20th Anniversary Report Proudly serving Southern California for 20 years Message from the Board of Directors 1 1 Who we are 2 2 How it all began 4 3 Metrolink steps up in Northridge earthquake aftermath 8 4 Holiday Toy Express® comes to town 10 5 Paving the way for more connections 12 6 Tragedy strikes the Metrolink family, sparks safety innovation 14 7 Chatsworth collision inspires safety transformation 18 8 Focusing on customers 30 9 Reducing emissions and congestion one car at a time 38 10 What’s next 42 Timeline 46 System maps 48 Sources 50 ii Message from the Board of Directors On Oct. 26, 2012, Metrolink celebrates 20 years of providing transportation solutions to Southern Californians. In 1988, Southern California commuters voiced a need for commuter rail service as an alternative to the widespread gridlock in our region, and transportation officials from five counties banded together to make it happen. Metrolink has grown tremendously, from transporting around 939,000 riders during fiscal year 1992-1993 to more than 11.9 million riders in fiscal year 2011-2012. Sixty-five percent of passengers surveyed after Metrolink’s first year of service said that they drove alone before Metrolink’s debut. Today an estimated 8.5 million weekday automobile trips are removed from the road each year because of the service Metrolink provides. Throughout its history when the public needed a solution, Metrolink rose to the challenge, whether that meant extending service lines like we did after the 1994 Northridge earthquake when freeways collapsed or introducing Bike Cars in 2011 to accommodate growing demand for bicycle storage on trains or adding service on the Ventura County and Antelope Valley lines during the Interstate 405 closures in 2011 and 2012.

  • Transportation Development Act Triennial Performance Audits
    TTAC STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Transportation Development Act Triennial Performance Audits MEETING DATE: December 1, 2016 AGENDA ITEM: 5 STAFF CONTACT: Andrew Orfila, Peter Imhof RECOMMENDATION: Review and recommend that the Board approve the draft Triennial Performance Audits for FYs 2012/13-2014/15 for Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (SBMTD), Santa Maria Area Transit (SMAT), City of Lompoc Transit (COLT), Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT), City of Guadalupe Transit, Santa Barbara County Transit (Cuyama and Los Alamos), Easy Lift, the Santa Maria Organization of Transportation Helpers (SMOOTH), and SBCAG. SUMMARY: California Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99246 requires regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs) such as SBCAG to conduct performance audits every three years of its activities as well as the activities of the transit operators to which it allocates Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. SBCAG allocates TDA funds to the Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (MTD), Santa Maria Area Transit (SMAT), City of Lompoc Transit (COLT), Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT), City of Guadalupe Transit, Santa Barbara County Transit (Cuyama and, until June 2013, Los Alamos Shuttle), Easy Lift, and the Santa Maria Organization of Transportation Helpers (SMOOTH). SBCAG contracted with Michael Baker International to conduct the TDA triennial performance audits for FYs 2012/13 through 2014/15. Michael Baker International reviewed compliance, implementation of prior audit recommendations, and agency functions, and made findings and recommendations for SBCAG and each of the transit operators. The findings and recommendations from the final draft audits of SBCAG and the transit operators are attached. TTAC is asked to review and recommend that the Board approve the triennial performance audits.
