  1. www.cities21.org - advanced feeder TOD Steve Raney, UC Berkeley Project focused.

  2. EGR-PRT Benefits • 1.2 sq mi transit village (not just .25 sq mi) • Remove 8,000 cars/day • Serve 28,000 trips/day • Increase retail sales 35% • Increase real estate value • Allow redevelopment, reclaim parking • Reduce employee turnover costs • Self-funding (O&M + capital) • Publicity: city of the future • No sacrifice (a la VP Cheney’s NRG policy).

  3. Call to Action: research • Can’t fund an MIS • Form ad-hoc committee • Formal approval to work on this • Start checkerboard commute origination study • Assists current TDM! C21 will fund. • Oct. research proposal for TMA/City • Cities21, Emeryville, U.C. Berkeley, experts: ridership study, route design, architectural renderings, economics, simulation, environmental impact, etc. • Small Emeryville/TMA $ => MTC planning $, Envt. Foundation $, academic research $, Cities21 $

  4. PRT • Video • Capacity: 4,000 hr (theoretical is 7,200 * 4) • Non-stop pt to pt service (intermediate station bypass) • No waiting • Light weight reduces cost • Right of way – 22” diameter piers

  5. PRT (2) • Energy = equivalent of 1,000 office workers • 80, 880, 580 rolling brownout • Visual mitigation • Noise • 10’ x 40’ stop platforms, 75’ accel/decel • Novelty (SF trolley replaced bus => ridership up 3X)

  6. Feeder / capillary grid is complimentary • Mode share for quality, accessible transit in Chicago is greater than auto share • Faster than car for many multimodal commutes. • Carpool formation 40X more efficient • No stranding

  7. Why Emeryville? • Stanford Research Park proposal => Jeff Tumlin (Nelson Nygaard) => Wendy • Emeryville: retail, housing, office mix. Trip profile. Density. BART capacity profile. San Pablo bus preference. • EGR. Full buses. TMA funding. Wendy (people skills, customer focus) • APM ‘2001 SF • 80, 880, 580 “rolling brown out”

  8. Implementation • 8,000 commuters: 3K BART/Amtrack, 2K bus, 2K HOV, 1K bike/ped. • 6,000 mid-day trip pairs (coming/going matched) • $10MM per mile, 6.5 miles. Includes 18 $250K stops (75’ accel) : a) ground level (10% grade), b) adjacent to building w/ 40’ cut out, c) 10’ x 40’ platform, spiral staircase, ADA elevator • Upgrades to “standard package” funded privately. • 7th & aquatic park corridor => bike lockers at 65 & Shellmound (Bay). Attract casual bikers.

  9. Implementation (2) • Rationalize AC Transit routes (shorten, increase frequency). Provide housing subsidies for drivers! • San Pablo preference bus (Camsys) – stops • High touch: proactive commute consultation (RIDES-like), checkerboard volunteers • IKEA: ?Delivery service?, Sweden big on PRT • Office parking spaces per 1,000 feet => 2? • “Double dip” parking – work & sleep • Hide utilities?

  10. Finance • $65MM capital cost • “tear down” insurance • $3MM O&M (lots of marketing & RIDES & transit info) • $0.50 fare pp. 365 * $14K = $5.1MM/yr • PBID: $2.5MM/yr • 35% retail $ increase => assessment • Ads: $3MM/yr • Fiber/broadband cable: $300K/yr • $0.50 per day parking • Capital • 25% via Mineta, 25% via state, 25% equity

  11. Benefits & EGR issues solved • Trip time savings – 25 minutes in extreme cases • Powell St. Plaza driving/parking experience • Frequency, reliability, wait time, 24x7 service • Congestion, construction, accidents, Amtrak • EGR route design optimization • Bus fleet aging • Bus driver shortage, split shift problem • Missed connections • More mid-day trips • “free time” valued more than “commute” time

  12. Schedule • July approval to work on proposal • Oct 2001 proposal to TMA • 12 months of research • Various: conference presentations • Oct 2002 – present results, take a PRT test ride, fund mini investment study, • Q1 2003 Public outreach, evangelize & fund $1MM PRT demonstration loop • Q2 2003 build PRT demo loop • Nov 2003 ballot measure for full EGR-PRT

  13. Call to Action • Ad-hoc committee, OK to work • Explain Emeryville to C21.

  14. The Commuter • Techsters are hardest to switch • To replace auto, need to match it • Convenience, flexibility, comfort, privacy • Transit transfers are problematic • Non-work, mid-day trips • Sick child, off-site business meeting • Communication with office • Psychological baggage
