  • Alameda County
    County Summaries Alameda County Overview Located at the heart of the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, Alameda County is the second-largest county in the Bay Area, with a population of over 1.66 million. The extensive transportation network of roads, rails, buses, trails and pathways carries roughly 1.2 million commute trips daily to, from, within and through the county, supporting economic growth in the Bay Area, California and the rest of the nation. The county’s transportation system is multimodal, with non-auto trips growing more quickly than auto trips: between 2010 and 2018, for every new solo driver, four people began using transit, walking, biking, or telecommuting. Roads and Highways Alameda County roadways move people and goods within the county and beyond and support multiple transportation modes. As regional economic and population growth increase demand for goods and services, a variety of modes, including cars, transit, bikes and trucks, are competing to access the same facilities. The majority of Alameda County’s 3,978 road miles are highways, arterials and major local roads that provide access to housing, jobs, education and transit. Forty percent of daily trips in Alameda County are carried on arterials and major roads. Currently, five of the Bay Area’s top 10 most-congested freeway segments are in Alameda County, and average freeway delays are growing. The congestion in Alameda County is compounded by the large amount of vehicle, rail and Travelers have made over 14.5 million trips on the I-580 freight travel through Alameda Express Lanes since opening in February 2016.

  • Potential Improvements Have Been Identified for Consideration with the Goals of Improving Corridor Mobility for All Modes of Transportation
    Potential improvements have been identified for consideration with the goals of improving corridor mobility for all modes of transportation. Information from existing transportation conditions, environmental screening, public input, and stakeholder meetings was used to identify several potential improvements for consideration and evaluation. The recommended potential improvements are categorized as Highway Improvements; Interchanges and Auxiliary Lane Improvements; Local Street Improvements; and Noise Abatement Improvements to address the needs of the corridor. The categories of potential improvements to address these key operational issues are listed in Table 5. Within each category, the list of viable potential projects is listed in a table and shown on the corridor map. Exhibits illustrating the potential improvements are included in Attachment 1. Study Goals Need/Deficiency Potential Improvements Improve travel time reliability; Improve operations and reduce Highway Improvements Preserve and enhance the travel time delay along highway ▪ HOV Lanes environment corridor ▪ EL ▪ Mainline Metering (system interchanges) Improve mainline and Address highway bottlenecks and Interchanges Improvements interchange operations improve weaving conditions ▪ HOV/EL direct connectors ▪ HOV by-pass lanes on ramps ▪ Interchange reconfigurations Promote multiple modes of Promote and develop alternative Local Street Improvements travel; Promote transit modes of transportation ▪ Add Bicycle Lanes alternatives; Improve bicycle ▪ Add or improve sidewalks
