1 Round One Public Outreach Workshops Fall 2005 DRAFT Bay Area Regional Rail Plan August 2007 Workshops

2 Why Prepare Rail Plan First comprehensive review of Regional Rail strategy since 1957 BART Plan 1956 BART 9-County Plan Lead to 3 County Funding Referendum in 1962 Rail Plan funded by Regional Measure 2 Collaboration between MTC, BART, Caltrain & CHSRA

3 A comprehensive vision for interconnected rail system to guide investment decisions A strategic plan for a safe, fast, and reliable passenger network integrated internally and with local transit A strategy to sustain and enhance mobility and economic vitality in Northern California Regional Rail Plan Objectives

4 Bay Area population will grow to 10 million people by 2050, a 48% increase from 2000 Sacramento will grow by 132% San Joaquin will grow by 201% Need for Regional Rail: Population Boom

5 Need for Regional Rail: Increased Travel 1.Transbay: San Francisco to Oakland (+204,000 trips) 2.Peninsula: San Mateo Co. to Santa Clara Co. (+156,000 trips) 3.East Bay: Alameda Co. to Santa Clara Co. (+152,000 trips) 4.I-680: Alameda Co. to NW Contra Costa Co. (+141,000 trips) 5.I-680: Alameda Co. to Contra Costa Co. East (+104,000 trips) Fastest Growing Corridors by 2030

6 1.Solano: 498% 2.Alameda: 267% 3.Napa: 223% 4.San Francisco: 189% 5.Santa Clara: 133% Counties with Highest Increase in Vehicle Hours of Delay by 2030 Need for Regional Rail: Persistent Congestion

7 Freight traffic related to Port activity Imports and Exports By 2050, freight traffic will grow in excess of 350% Need for Regional Rail: Increased Freight Traffic

8 Regional Rail Plan Elements Rapid Transit – BART Railroad-Based Passenger Services Railroad Freight Capacity Where Needed High Speed Rail Options (with regional overlay) Other regional services (e.g. eBART, bus, ferry) Support Strategies “2050 Outlook – Phased Development”

9 Plan Outcomes Regional Rail Only Regional Rail with High-Speed Rail over: - Pacheco Pass - Altamont Pass - Both Pacheco and Altamont Passes

10 Study Process to Date ● Held visioning workshops to generate ideas and concepts –Stakeholder workshops –Public outreach workshops –Regional Rail Steering Committee meetings

11 Key Public Comments Heard Connectivity between modes is critical Resolve freight and passenger rail conflicts Need new Bay crossing for rail Preserve & purchase rights-of-way Explore advanced rail technologies “One System, One Ticket” Must support desirable land uses Must minimize impacts on low-income areas Must have safe and secure rail system

12 Study Process to Date (cont’d) ● Developed study alternatives Public forums to review alternatives –Regional Rail Steering Committee –MTC Planning Committee ● Conducted evaluation of alternatives ● Presenting DRAFT recommendations today

13 Evaluation Criteria ● Capital Cost ● Travel Demand/Market Potential ● Operational Impacts ● Coverage and Connectivity ● Environmental Issues ● Implementation Issues

14 Recommended Network Year 2050 – Phased Approach

15 Regional Rail Vision Ring the Bay with Rail The Right Technology Should Be Used With the Right Corridor The BART/Caltrain Systems Are the Backbones The BART System’s Outward Expansion Is Nearly Complete The Bay Area Needs a Regional Rail Network

16 Regional Rail Vision (cont’d) Rail Infrastructure Must Be Expanded to Accommodate Growth in Passenger and Freight Traffic High-Speed Rail Provides Opportunities to Enhance and Accelerate Regional Rail Improvements Rail Transit and TODs Go Hand in Hand New Governance Structure Needed to Deliver Rail Successor to Resolution 3434 Needed to Advocate for Rail Funding

17 Regional Rail Only

18 Regional Rail Only

19 Regional Rail Only

20 High-Speed Rail

21 High-Speed Rail Effects Near term projects in most of regional network would remain in place and would work with high speed rail Ability to accelerate compatible projects (e.g., Peninsula services) Altamont Effects –Improved Dumbarton Connection –Upgrade to Regional Services between Peninsula – Tri Valley – Sacramento & San Joaquin Valley

22 High-Speed Rail Effects (cont’d) Pacheco Effects –Opportunity to upgrade Regional Services down to Gilroy; improved access to South Counties –Faster and more frequent service between Los Angeles & San Jose Altamont + Pacheco Effects –Would not require development of 4-track sections Newark – Tracy –Would not require development of 4-track sections San Jose – Gilroy

23 Next Steps Receive workshop comments today Submit written comments by August 29 Review by MTC’s Planning Committee (Sept. 14) Review and action by MTC Commission (Sept. 26)
