Station Access Survey Was Conducted in 2019 CAPITOL CORRIDOR STATION ACCESS STUDY 06/01/2020 CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY Capitol Corridor Station Access Study Intermodal Access Improvements Prepared by Aaron Rubin, Project Coordinator June 2020 1 CAPITOL CORRIDOR STATION ACCESS STUDY 06/01/2020 City Station Owner’s / Partner’s Guide to Using Report Intention of Study The research presented for each Capitol Corridor rail station is intended to be provided to city-owning station partners as suggestions for enhancing multimodal access within the immediate station vicinity and surrounding service areas of each station. These suggestions came from a combination of four main sources: • Capitol Corridor Ridership Observations • Researcher Observations Collected through Site Visits • Researcher Observations Specifically Inspired by Qualitative and Quantitative Feedback from Ridership Survey & Interviews • City Plans (e.g. City Amtrak Station Planning / City & County Bike Plans / Community-Based Transportation Plans) Capitol Corridor recognizes that some cities have conducted their own and more thorough multimodal station access planning studies or community-based transportation plans for areas incorporating Capitol Corridor rail stations. Capitol Corridor defaults to the conclusions of these studies when findings in this report do not directly align, or potentially conflict with, the findings in a city or county’s studies related to multimodal travel planning. Researchers producing this report attempted to read through cities’ publicly available community transportation & active travel planning studies. It is highlighted when a suggestion provided to a city in this report is Capitol Corridor placing its support behind a planning project proposed by a city or county that may directly help encourage improved access by a certain travel mode to a Capitol Corridor train station. Recommendations in this report for each station are not presented in any order of prioritization as to which suggestions may be most important for a city to potentially address. Additionally, there is no defined budget for the implementation of multimodal access projects identified in this study. The next steps thus involve cities identifying the highest performing design change projects and balancing this against the varying costs that improvement projects in this report will entail / how easy a suggestion is to implement. Many projects could be candidates for grant funding, and this may help determine the process for a city selecting certain access projects for implementation. CCJPA encourages local jurisdictions to engage with Capitol Corridor as an active partner in implementing identified access solutions. CAPITOL CORRIDOR STATION ACCESS STUDY 06/01/2020 3 Types of Proposed Multimodal Access Recommendations All station access improvements proposed to city station owners / partners in this report are designed to align with BART/CCJPA station access policy goals. These goals include creating healthier/safer/greener communities, increasing train ridership, improving the customer experience of traveling to/from stations, promoting transportation equity through investing in access choices for all riders, and establishing partnerships with municipalities and connecting transit partners. Station audits were done with a focus on promoting these goals after a station access survey was conducted in 2019. To help cities identify potential access projects to prioritize, projects in this report were labeled with tags ($, #, *) depending on if they were a direct ridership proposal, based on ridership input, solely a research observation resulting from a station site visit, or inspired by an existing city transportation plan. $ Ridership Observation - A ridership observation was a direct comment left by riders either in public comments in the 2019 Capitol Corridor Station Access Survey, in conversations with riders occurring during station site visits, or in the Capitol Corridor Customer Comment Portal. Suggestions labeled in this report as ridership observations are access projects that were specifically detailed in a comment by Capitol Corridor customers – e.g. designing a Class II or Class III bikeway on a specific roadway near a Capitol Corridor station. # Researcher Observation - A researcher observation was the result of field notes collected at all Capitol Corridor stations through multiple audits/station site visits. There was limited to no customer input on these projects – e.g. researcher noticing that a stop sign was removed/stolen and should be reinstalled to improve pedestrian crossing safety at a station. * Rider-Inspired Researcher Observation - A rider-inspired researcher observation involved researchers in this study reading through comments related to station access left in the 2019 Station Access Study or in public comments left in the Capitol Corridor Customer Comment Portal. This feedback was then used during site visits to generate specific ideas for access improvements surrounding each station. Capitol Corridor customers often had good ideas for ways to improve station access for their mode of travel, but did not provide the technical terminology for phrasing a specific access improvement project – e.g. researchers may have turned a customer’s concerns about crossing a busy intersection via bike into a proposal for a bike activated stoplight for crossing over an intersection on a bike boulevard. CAPITOL CORRIDOR STATION ACCESS STUDY 06/01/2020 % City Plan - Publicly available city studies related to the design of Amtrak stations, active travel street design, and community transportation planning were consulted before conducting site visits at each Capitol Corridor station. Once assessing intermodal access conditions surrounding each station and reviewing data provided on access conditions at each station by our ridership, access improvement proposals in this report were labeled as city plans. This label indicates that the CCJPA’s study team agreed that an existing city plan would help significantly reduce barriers to multimodal station access and be strongly supported by our ridership – e.g. a city plan to add Class I bikeways on a road extending into a Capitol Corridor station’s service area may be included as an access improvement proposal and be labeled as a city plan. Data Sources Utilized 1. Amtrak Data: Daily ridership estimates (boardings & alightings) based on 2019 ridership data at the station level provided by Amtrak. 2. Transportation Injury Mapping System: Bicycle and pedestrian collisions within ½ mile or 1 mile of Capitol Corridor stations provided by UC Berkeley TIMS data source. All pedestrian collisions within the years of 2017 and 2018 were included in collision maps (2019 data had not yet been released at the beginning of producing research for this report). 3. Bike Link eLocker Facilities Data: Occupancy of Capitol Corridor bike eLockers (total rentals daily / total lockers at a station) is monitored daily by Bike Link. Occupancy was averaged for all days over the course of 2019 for average occupancy numbers provided in this report. 4. Bikeways Near Stations: Bikeways were digitized using ArcGIS & QGIS programs and were based on most recent bikeway maps provided by cities or counties showing station access areas. 5. 2019 Station Access Survey: Access mode split estimates in this report were generated by combining home & destination mode split data for each station from responses to questions in the 2019 Station Access Survey. Both qualitative data (e.g. rider responses to questions like “What do you like/dislike about your bike ride to the station?”) and quantitative data (e.g. riders providing assessments on a numeric scale for intermodal station access criteria such as the “quality and safety of bikeways extending to the station”) were also incorporated from this survey to gather the data necessary to design access improvement proposals based on ridership comments/input. 6. Capitol Corridor Customer Comment Portal: Customer comments left in the Capitol Corridor Customer Comment Portal were read through to find ridership input related specifically to station access or station design. These observations were then used to design intermodal access improvement proposals based on ridership input. CAPITOL CORRIDOR STATION ACCESS STUDY 06/01/2020 Study Funding The Capitol Corridor Station Access Study was produced through a fellowship partnership between Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority and Strategic Energy Innovations. The motivation for producing this report involved matching Strategic Energy Innovations’ goals of working with public sector partners to design alternative/clean transportation initiatives that reduce overall GHG emissions with Capitol Corridor’s goals to improve Californian communities by enabling riders to get to and from stations safely, comfortably, affordably, & cost-effectively. About the Author Aaron Rubin served as a Project Coordinator at Capitol Corridor and a Fellow at Strategic Energy Innovations from September 2019 to June 2020. He currently resides in Portland, Maine, and is a 2019 graduate of Bowdoin College with a degree in Environmental Studies / Government & Legal Studies. Aaron is passionate about work in public service and civic innovation, with specific interests in doing community-based research and analytical work to inform decisions made in the renewable energy and transportation sectors.

The study is nearing completion and we are seeking stakeholder and public opinion on the initial draft findings from the study. Your staff have invited us to give presentations to your Councils on the West County High Capacity Transit Study’s highlights and gather community feedback. Contra Costa County BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION In the spring of 2015, WCCTAC launched its West County High Capacity Transit Study. A team of transportation consultants working with the WCCTAC Board and its Technical Advisory Committee and staff developed study goals and objectives and evaluated existing and future AC Transit transportation networks, land uses, and travel markets. The study’s consultants analyzed this information then developed an initial set of alternatives that then underwent a technical evaluation that considered travel time improvements, access to regional transit centers, transit market potential, service to low-income areas and markets lacking major transit connections, etc. BART Throughout this study process, community outreach efforts have been on-going. A study- dedicated website (www.WestCountyTransitStudy.com) provides the public with opportunities to check on the study’s status and review presentations and technical memos. In November 2015, WCCTAC and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) held a joint telephone town hall, which attracted 2,045 total attendees, with 700 callers at its peak and an average of 150 WestCAT 6333 Potrero Avenue, Suite 100, El Cerrito CA 94530 Phone: 510.210.5930 ~ www.wcctac.org attendees over sixty minutes.

    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.

    CAPITOL CORRIDOR SOUTH BAY CONNECT AUGUST 2020 Purpose Study Area and Project Elements South Bay Connect proposes to relocate the Capitol Corridor passenger rail service between the Oakland N Coliseum and Newark from the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) Niles Subdivision to the Coast Subdivision for a faster, more direct route. It will also create new transbay connections for passengers between the East Bay and Peninsula by connecting to bus and shuttle services at the Ardenwood Station. The project is not proposing an increase in Capitol Corridor service frequency or changes to UP’s freight service, but does not preclude service growth in the future. The relocation will facilitate the separation of passenger and freight rail, resulting in improved rail operations, efficiency, and reliability while minimizing rail congestion within the corridor. Proposed New Station and Railroad Potential Station Area Proposed Capitol Corridor (CC) Service Potential Station Considered and Eliminated Existing CC Service Existing Station CC Service to be Discontinued Station where CC Service Study Area to be Discontinued UP Improvement Area BART Station Benefits Reduce passenger rail travel time between Oakland and San Jose and throughout the larger megaregion to increase ridership on transit, ease congestion on the Bay Area’s stressed roadways, and decrease auto commutes. Diversify and enhance network integration by reducing duplicative capital investments and dif- ferentiating Capitol Corridor’s intercity rail service from commuter rail and other transit services, including BART’s extension to San Jose. Support economic vitality by permitting enhanced rail movement and the preservation of freight rail capacity in the Northern California market through the reduction of existing conflicts between freight rail operations and passenger rail service.
