These options include riding transit, carpooling, vanpooling and biking to work. This is accomplished by working directly with commuters, organizing community events, conducting employer outreach and partnering with local agencies. The attached report summarizes the activities that occurred to accomplish our mission. Highlights Include: Bike Month Feedback Preview dibs Donut Day for Amtrak Morning Express Train Merced Vanpool Project BACKGROUND Formerly known as Commute Connection, dibs were established in 1978 by SJCOG. The program was re-branded to dibs in 2016 to modernize the image, appeal to a wider audience and offer users a more engaging and convenient way to obtain information. Since inception, the program has expanded to include the counties of Stanislaus and Merced through contracts with the Stanislaus Council of Governments and Merced Association of Governments. As a result, through extensive marketing and outreach, the program has registered over 9,000 commuters. Ultimately, the dibs program aims to help improve air quality and reduce roadway congestion by encouraging commuters not to drive alone. Primary features of the program include: P8 Vanpool & Community Marketing Transit & Online Trip Emergency Outreach & & Park and Planning Ride Home Events Promotions Ride Incentives Prepared by: Yvette Davis, Sr. Program Specialist P9 Call dibs on our Program Success April - June 2018 Activity Report Bike Month Changes the Cycle We asked our riders what they enjoyed most about Bike Month and besides the expected “less traffic” and “the exercise”, we were surprised that a large chunk mentioned that seeing other riders out and about was their highlight of the month. Not only did they love seeing their coworkers and neighbors in the bike lanes with them, but they loved the Smart Travel option enough to keep it going after Bike Month, with 86% of riders continuing their habit! With the average rider logging just over 10 miles, it’s no wonder that they majority said they’re in it solely for the health benefits! “I believe what you are doing by putting others together to reduce our overall footprint on society is simply awesome.” -local rider, David. Hey thanks David, we think you guys are awesome too! Great job San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Merced counties! You did it!

  • 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.

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.

  • Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report
    Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report May 20, 2021 ES-1 Final Report Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report Prepared by Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) May 20, 2021 Executive Summary The 2018 California State Rail Plan envisions a network of high-speed, intercity corridor, and commuter trains integrated with local transit, providing nearly seamless connections for riders seeking to reach all parts of the state. In corridors where no trains operate, the Rail Plan calls for express buses using the existing highway systems to provide access to the state’s rail system. The Rail Plan identified the I-680 corridor between the Tri-Valley area (i.e. Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore) and Suisun City as one such corridor, where express buses could link a Tri-Valley Transit Hub with the Suisun-Fairfield Amtrak Station, a stop for the Capitol Corridor trains. This Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study is an effort to define what such express bus service would be: its route, stops, connections with corridor and commuter trains, as well as its likely ridership, revenue, and costs for implementation. The study investigates the BART Dublin/Pleasanton BART station as a candidate for the Tri-Valley Transit Hub, along with potential improvements that could make the facility easier, safer, and more comfortable for riders to use. The study also explores options to better connect northern San Joaquin County communities with the Tri-Valley Hub. The distance between the Suisun Amtrak Station and the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is 53 miles, inclusive of a stop at the Martinez Amtrak Station.
