2008 Triennial On-Site Safety and Security Review Sacramento Regional Transit District (Srtd) CPSD/RTSS/RDW/vdl/mc1 Mailed 9/24/08 PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Consumer Protection and Safety Division Resolution ST-99 Rail Transit Safety Section September 18, 2008 RESOLUTION RESOLUTION ST-99 GRANTING APPROVAL OF THE FINAL REPORT ON THE 2008 SAFETY & SECURITY REVIEW OF THE SACRAMENTO REGIONAL TRANSIT DISTRICT (SRTD) Summary This resolution approves the Consumer Protection and Safety Division (CPSD) final audit report titled, "Triennial On-Site Safety & Security Review of the Sacramento Regional Transit District," dated August 14, 2008.

Background Commission General Order No. 164-D, "Rules and Regulations Governing State Safety Oversight of Rail Fixed Guideway Systems" requires staff to conduct on-site safety reviews of transit agencies operating Rail Fixed Guideway Systems at least once every three years. The Rail Transit Safety Section (RTSS) conducted an on-site safety and security review of SRTD beginning April 7 and concluding April 11, 2008. Staff conducted a post-audit exit conference with SRTD management on Monday, April 28, 2008. The methods used to conduct the audit included: a. Interviews with SRTD employees at all levels from rank and file through SRTD management; b. Reviews of design, construction, procurement, testing, training, operation and maintenance programs; c. Reviews of records and procedures; d. Observation of operations and maintenance activities; and e. Inspections of equipment and facilities. 352706 - 1 - CPSD/RTSS/RDW/vdl/mc1 Resolution ST-99 September 18, 2008 A full description of the audit, including the scope, results, and recommendations, is contained in the final audit report which is attached to this resolution as Attachment A. The results of the audit show that SRTD is in compliance with its System Safety & Security Program. However, some program deficiencies were identified during the audit. These deficiencies, along with recommendations for corrective actions, are described, where applicable, in the Findings/Comments/Recommendations section of each checklist and in the body of the final report. A complete listing of recommendations for the correction of each identified deficiency is contained in Appendix B of the report. Protests Staff provided a preliminary report of the audit to SRTD for a 30-day review and comment period on June 20, 2008. SRTD confirmed the factual accuracy of the report in a letter dated July 16, 2008. Discussion The final report, “Triennial On-Site Safety & Security Review of the Sacramento Regional Transit District", dated August 14, 2008, is included as Attachment A. It is based on staff findings and includes staff recommendations. SRTD has stated to staff that it is working to develop corrective action plans for the deficiencies identified in the report and has initiated actions on some plans. SRTD will provide regular monthly updates concerning the status of its corrective actions until they are completed. CPSD recommends that the Commission approve the final audit report titled, “Triennial On-Site Safety & Security Review of the Sacramento Regional Transit District," dated August 14, 2008. CPSD also recommends that the Commission order SRTD to: - 2 - CPSD/RTSS/RDW/vdl/mc1 Resolution ST-99 September 18, 2008 • Submit a report to the RTSS, which includes the status of the corrective actions for safety and security program deficiencies identified during the audit; • Submit plans and schedules for implementing and completing the recommended corrective actions contained in the report; • Implement the recommendations in accordance with the plans and schedules submitted; and • Provide the RTSS with monthly reports on the status of the corrective actions until they are completed and implemented. Comments Public Utilities Code Section 311(g) (1) provides that this resolution must be served on all parties and subject to at least 30 days public review and comment prior to a vote of the Commission. Resolution ST-99 was mailed to SRTD on August 14, 2008. SRTD had no comments and waived the 30-day review and comment period as required in Public Utilities Code Section 311(g) (1). Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that: 1. The Consumer Protection and Safety Division's request for approval of the final audit report titled, “Triennial On-Site Safety & Security Review of the Sacramento Regional Transit District," dated August 14, 2008, is granted. 2.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The California Public Utilities Commission’s (Commission) Consumer Protection and Safety Division (CPSD), Rail Transit Safety Section staff (staff), with assistance from the Railroad Operations Safety Branch and Utilities Safety Branch staff (staff), conducted an on-site safety and security review of Sacramento Regional Transit District’s (SRTD) system safety program in April 2008. The on-site review was preceded by a pre-review conference with SRTD personnel on April 7, 2008. Staff conducted the 2008 SRTD on-site safety and security review from April 7 to April 11 and April 18, 2008. The review focused on verifying the effective implementation of the system safety and security program plans. Staff held a post-review conference with SRTD personnel following the on-site safety and security review on April 28, 2008. Staff provided SRTD personnel with a synopsis of the preliminary review findings and possible recommendations for corrective actions. The review results indicate that SRTD has a comprehensive System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) and has effectively carried out that plan. SRTD was also found to have a strong detection and deterrence program and is well prepared to respond effectively to natural and human caused security threats. However, exceptions were noted during the review. These are described in the Findings and Recommendations section of each checklist. Of the 32 checklists, staff made nine recommendations for corrective action. These are distributed among the Engineering, Operations, Wayside and LRV Maintenance departments.

  • Connecting Sacramento: a Trip-Making and Accessibility Study
    Connecting Sacramento: A Trip-Making and Accessibility Study Study Overview and Highlights July 2017 Purpose of this study Local governments and transportation agencies often make challenging decisions about how best to use their limited resources to ensure they are meeting people’s travel needs. These decisions typically depend on reliable data and metrics, which help explain where issues exist, come up with logical solutions, evaluate of the impacts of potential projects, and weigh the relative benefits of different options. Decision-makers have long relied on a limited set of tools. Facility-level metrics such as road delay and on-time transit arrival provide some sense of how well different pieces of a transportation system are performing; costly travel surveys shed light on people’s actual travel behaviors; and travel demand models let us simulate travel patterns throughout a region and forecast travel behavior into the future. Unfortunately, these tools fall short in easily answering fundamental transportation-related questions: where are people going and how easily can they get there? This is particularly true regarding transit riders and potential transit users. Newer data sources and more advanced analytic tools can potentially change that drastically, but they are not well understood and rarely applied in practice. This study incorporates several of those new tools and data sources to understand how useful they are and how they can inform smarter transportation investments and more impactful improvements – particularly related to improving people’s access to existing transit and increasing transit ridership. Novel tools and data sources Accessibility metrics Accessibility metrics incorporate everything we know about existing transportation networks and land uses to explain how easily people can reach essential destinations by different modes.
