The two-year budget was developed amid a climate of economic distress, declining sales tax revenues, and evaporating state funding for transit operations. The growing financial crisis affects not only VTA’s operations, but also our many capital programs. At the outset, VTA established five objectives to guide the development of this budget: maintain core service, preserve jobs, continue to make infrastructure investments, advance capital programs,

    ATTACHMENT C EXISTING TRANSIT CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS EXISTING CONDITIONS AND a partnership of OPPORTUNITIES REPORT Public Review Draft | December 2017 MEMORANDUM Date: November 10, 2017 To: Dan Amsden and Mukul Malhotra, MIG From: Sarah Peters, Andy Kosinski, PE, David Wasserman, and Lilian Ayala Subject: Existing Transit Conditions and Potential Improvements on Bascom Avenue SJ17-1708 This memorandum presents existing transit conditions along the Bascom Avenue corridor, which will inform the Bascom Avenue Complete Streets Study. The existing conditions covered in this memorandum include descriptions of the major destinations, route services, mode access to transit, bus stop conditions, and operational analysis of bus transit speeds and reliability. The Bascom Avenue corridor extends six miles from the north at Interstate 880 to State Route 85 in the south. The street is designated as a “Class 1 Arterial” with three lanes in each direction. For most of the segment it is in either the City of San Jose or unincorporated Santa Clara County, but it passes through the City of Campbell for 1.5 miles. The north and central sections of the corridor are primarily commercial, civic, or hospital, with the remaining areas being largely residential. KEY FINDINGS The existing transit system provides service to a majority of the north and central portions of Bascom Avenue. Although 54 stops are dispersed along the corridor, the major stops along Bascom Avenue, identified by ridership and transfer activity, were primarily located in the north and central portions of the corridor. The evaluation of major bus stops along Bascom Avenue have indicated that core bus stops are missing major amenities, such as seating and shelters, that would be expected for high ridership stops.

  • Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report
    Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report May 2019 Prepared jointly by: CDM Smith and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, Office of Civil Rights ADDENDUM: May 2019 Background The Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension (Project) Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report (Analysis) contained herein was prepared for Board approval in June 2018. In accordance with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI Circular 4702.1B (Circular), Title VI Requirements and Guidelines for Federal Administration Recipients (October 1, 2012), the analysis of the service and fare plan was prepared six months prior to revenue service date, however, the revenue service date changed several times due to construction delays. The current Project revenue service date is projected to be late 2019. BART staff has conferred with the FTA and although the Analysis was prepared based on an earlier revenue service date, the information contained is considered current and reflects the impacts on the proposed service. The following are some of the major changes that have occurred since the report was written. While these changes do not affect the results of the Analysis, they are still worth noting for informational purposes. Optimal Service Plan At the time the Analysis was written, the full fleet of revenue vehicles were not projected to be available for project opening. Accordingly, staff developed three weekday and two weekend service plan options as an interim service plan that was presented to the public for input. Additionally, the public was notified that once there were enough revenue vehicles, the goal was to implement the Optimal Service Plan (Optimal Service) that was the most stable operationally with the most optimal service to existing and future BART riders.
