  • Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan Community Workshop Monday, October 16 | 5:00 – 7:30 P.M
    Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan Community Workshop Monday, October 16 | 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. Sacramento Valley Station Green Room 401 I Street, Sacramento Workshop Summary Introduction On Monday, October 16, 2017 the City of Sacramento hosted a community workshop for the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan. More than 90 community members attended the workshop at the Sacramento Valley Station Green Room, located at 401 I Street in Sacramento from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. Project Overview The goal of the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan is to develop two design concepts for a new regional transportation hub, which includes 17-acres of property around the historic depot. The concepts will create a well-connected transit center, a gateway to the city, and a mixed-use destination with compact infill development. Workshop Purpose The purpose of the community workshop was to provide a forum for Sacramento community members and passing transit riders to review and provide input on different elements of two draft conceptual alternatives developed for the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan. These alternatives were developed based upon City goals and objectives, technical analysis, best practices in planning and urban design, and community input. Key elements of the alternatives include a mobility network, placemaking options, site programming, and future buildout. Workshop Format The workshop was set up in an open house format, with five information stations for community members to review and provide input on with post it notes and comment cards. At 5:30 p.m., a presentation began with remarks by Mayor Darrell Steinberg and Congresswoman Doris Matsui.

  • 7.2 Transit Lines
    User Guide and Model Documentation for SACSIM19 – June 2020 Transit Lines The major fixed route transit services in the SACOG region are explicitly represented in the transit networks as “lines”, or series of stops served by a transit vehicle at a specified service frequency. Table 7-1 provides a listing of the operators included. Each line operating on a fixed (or largely fixed) route, and with a published schedule, is coded into the SACSIM transit networks. 7.2.1 Transit Service Periods SACSIM fixed-route transit considers five different service periods: • Period 1, spanning from 5:00am until 9:00am • Period 2, from 9:00am until 3:00pm • Period 3, from 3:00pm until 6:00pm • Period 4, from 6:00pm until 8:00pm • Period 5, from 8:00pm until 11:00pm By breaking up transit service into these periods, SACSIM aims to accurately represent how transit service varies throughout the day, e.g.: • Transit availability and frequency differences throughout the day • How transit is affected by changes in highway traffic congestion throughout the day 7.2.2 Transit Line Attributes Table 7-2 provides a listing of the key variables coded for each transit line. • The NAME of the line. o For lines existing in the base year, the first 4 characters refer to the operator name: . AMTR – Amtrak Capitol Corridor service . AUBT – Auburn Transit . CSUS – California State University Sacramento Hornet Shuttle . ELDO – El Dorado Transit . ETRN – E-Tran, in Elk Grove . FOLS – Folsom Stage Line . PLAC – Placer County Transit . RSVL – Roseville Transit . SCTL – South County Link (serving south Sacramento County) .

High quality transit service can also provide necessary mobility for both transit-dependent and choice riders, and residents and employees in higher density, mixed use areas where auto travel can be impractical. Like fuel prices, transit fares have gone from a trend line of relative stability in real terms to significant spikes in recent years. Operators increase fares to offset operating revenues lost from other sources.
