  • 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.

    January 11, 2018 Mr. Ezequiel Castro, Acting Chief Division of Rail and Mass Transportation Office of State Transit Programs and Plans (MS 39) P.O. Box 942874 Sacramento, CA 94274-0001 Subject: Submittal: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program Grant Application for the Northern California Corridor Enhancement Program Dear Mr. Castro: As one of the three California Intercity Passenger Rail (CA IPR) managing agencies, the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) is pleased to present our 2018 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant application entitled The Northern California Corridor Enhancement Program. The CCJPA’s Northern California Corridor Enhancement Program proposes three subprojects. CCJPA is not alone in presenting these subprojects –each one is built upon critical peer agency partnerships. In combination and independently, these projects significantly reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and GHG emissions while enhancing the quality of life for all Californians. The subprojects are: . Sacramento to Roseville Third Track Phase 2 and SR 51 Widening . Oakland to San Jose Service Expansion Phase 2A . Statewide Integrated Travel Program Sacramento to Roseville Third Track Phase 2 and SR 51 Widening With the first phase of the Sacramento to Roseville Third Main Track funded and underway, the CCJPA is prepared, along with Caltrans District 3, to seek pre-construction funding for the second phase of the SR3T Project and the widening of SR 51 (Cap City Freeway). These related sub-projects have co-joined physical elements (rebuilt rail bridges across a widened SR 51) where working together will provide for project efficiencies. Cost savings will accrue for both of these regionally significant (and shared travel market) transportation sub- projects.

  • Item 7.B Att a CTP-Transit Element State of the System
    Chapter 3 To chart a successful course for Solano County’s intercity transit and rideshare system, two things are needed: to know where the system is at this time, and to know where STA, partner agencies, and Solano’s transit operators want to be by 2040. Before building the future transit system, it is best to understand the foundation that exists, its strengths and weaknesses, resources needed at its current level of service, and existing opportunities and challenges. This report summarizes the current condition and operation of Solano’s intercity transit and rideshare system as of the end of December 2014. Section 1: The Transit and Rideshare System Defined Overview The Transit and Rideshare System (also simply referred to as ‘The Transit System’) for this report incorporates the modes of intercity bus, passenger rail and passenger ferry service, ridesharing (carpools and vanpools), as well as intercity Paratransit services and Mobility Management. The Transit System consists of the vehicles and supporting infra- structure for those modes of travel. For ridesharing and mobility management, it also includes the staff that supports the programs enabling carpool and vanpool creation and operation, and the delivery of mobility management programs. Solano County has an established and diverse Transit and Rideshare System serving a countywide population of 424,0001. Over 175,000 Solano residents work outside their home. The Transit System serves all trip purposes and a significant portion of commute trips. Between 2009 and 2013, 18% 2of working Solano residents travelled to work by ridesharing, bus, train, or ferry. Transit services connect Solano to the adjacent Sacramento and Bay Area regions via limited-stop buses on highways (I-80, I-680, Highways 12 and 29).

  • Chapter 4-Proposed Passenger Improvements and Investments
    Proposed Passenger Improvements and 4 Investments Chapter 4 presents the service improvements and investments needed to achieve the Rail Plan Vision. The Rail Plan supports near-term plans and proposals being developed in individual corridors and regions, with a targeted completion date of 2022; but presents a flexible, corridor-level framework for developing the passenger rail system over the plan’s long-term, 2040 time horizon. This framework is intended to serve as the basis for State-led service implementation planning, to be undertaken in coordination with regional agencies, rail operators, and stakeholders to achieve the 2040 Vision. The Rail Plan does not seek to prescribe specific projects or solutions and their associated costs, but rather to provide a path for implementation and a common understanding of how the state’s rail network should develop to meet the State’s goals. Chapter 4 • Proposed Passenger Improvements and Investments 4.1 Network Integration Strategic 4.2 Pulse Scheduling Service Planning State network planning in the Rail Plan is based on The 2018 State Rail Plan Vision was developed as part pulse scheduling, which represents uniform train of the State’s Network Integration Strategic Service service patterns that repeat throughout the day Planning (NISSP) process. The overarching goal of on regular, recurring time intervals. This timetable- the NISSP is to plan for a statewide passenger rail based planning approach allows for timed transfers system that maximizes the performance potential between services at hub stations where a transfer is of intercity passenger rail as a time- and cost- required to complete a trip across the state, or to a competitive travel option for meeting the state’s location served by local transit.
