  1. Fall 2005 Round One Public Outreach Workshops Steering Committee Meeting July 27, 2007

  2. Agenda • Welcome & Introduction • Meeting Purpose & Agenda Overview • Consent: Draft December 13, 2006 Minutes • Public Comment • Study Status • Bay Area to Central Valley High-Speed Train Program EIR/EIS • Presentation & Discussion of Draft Plan Elements • Executive Summary • Regional Rail Evaluation • Regional Rail Phased Implementation • Study Schedule • August 2007 Public Outreach Workshops • September 2007 Plan Review and Adoption by MTC • Next Steps & Adjourn

  3. Regional Rail Elements • Rapid Transit (BART) • Railroad-Based Services • High-Speed Rail System • Interfaces to Other Regional Transportation Modes – Regional Bus and Ferry

  4. Regional Rail Issues • BART System • Core Capacity & Metro Service • System Expansion • Railroad Based Services • Accommodate Freight & Passenger • Appropriate Solution by Corridor • High Speed Rail System • Bay Area Entry from East (Altamont) • Bay Area Entry from South (Pacheco) • Effects on Regional Rail

  5. Regional Rail Vision • Backbone of System is the Core • Need for Regional Network • Local Transit • Regional / Express Network • Selecting Appropriate Technology by Corridor • Providing Connectivity • High Speed Rail May Accelerate System Development • Complementary Land Use Strategy

  6. System Alternatives No High Speed Rail

  7. Alternative 1 BART Lines & Connectivity Points

  8. Alternative 1 Regional Lines

  9. Alternative 2 BART Lines & Connectivity Points

  10. Alternative 2 Regional Lines

  11. Recommended Netowork Year 2050 – Long Term

  12. Alternatives Evaluation

  13. Plan Provision: Alternative 2 with further development of Metro operating plans and infrastructure; fourth track through Oakland; long term new Bay Crossing and San Francisco subway line (alignment to be determined)

  14. Plan Provision: Alternative 1 (No I-580 Connection) Plan Provision: Corridor Preservation Near Term; Phase in Rail Long Term

  15. Plan Provision: Alternative 1 Improve Standard Rail Shared with Freight

  16. Plan Provision: Alternative 1 Improve Standard Rail Shared with Freight

  17. Plan Provision: BART Core Capacity Near Term; 4-Track Crossing Long Term

  18. Plan Provision: Alternative 2 – Develop Lightweight Electrified Passenger Service; Provide Connection to Oakland Long Term

  19. Plan Provision: Alternative 1 Improve Standard Rail Shared with Freight

  20. Plan Provision: Blend – Separate Passenger Tracks with Low Level Bridge; Operate Standard Equipment Near Term; Operate Lightweight Equipment Long Term

  21. Plan Provision: Blend – Alternative 1 for Standard Rail (Standard Equipment Shared with Freight) ; Alternative 2 for BART (Connect to ACE at Isabel/Stanley)

  22. Plan Provision: Implement Passenger Service with Standard Rail along UPRR Corridor

  23. Possible Phasing – Near Term • Most projects already under development • BART Reinvestment & Core Capacity • Capitol Corridor Additional Main Tracks • UP Central Corridor Improvements • Caltrain Grade Separations • Dumbarton Connection • ACE Service Improvements • Corridor Preservation/Right-of-Way Access • Oakland Subdivision • North Bay • Central Valley • Grade Crossing Improvements & Separations

  24. Possible Phasing – Mid Term • BART completes current extensions • BART Metro Improvements • Further Development of Capitol Corridor, Caltrain • ACE Expansion • Dumbarton converts to lightweight equipment • Extension to Monterey County • North Bay initial services • Connectivity improvements & hubs

  25. Possible Phasing – Long Term • Transbay – Potential New Rail / BART Crossing • US 101 & North Bay expanded operations • Capitol Corridor Richmond – Martinez improvements & new Benicia Bridge; additional improvements Oakland – San Jose • Expanded Central Valley services & rail separation (Stockton) • Long term grade separations

  26. High Speed Rail

  27. 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 • 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
