  4. Project Purpose • Prepare a Bay Area Regional Rail Plan for MTC Consideration and Adoption • INCLUDES: • Plan Horizon includes Short (< 10 years), Intermediate (10-25 years) and Long-terms (25 years +) • Four Regional Rail Components • Three High-Speed Rail Outcomes

  5. Four Components of Regional Rail • Regional Rapid Transit (i.e., BART) • Railroad-Based Passenger Systems (e.g., Caltrain, Capitol Corridor, ACE) • Bay Area High-Speed Segments • Other extensions of rapid transit or railroad-based passenger services (e.g., eBART)

  6. Plan Will Address Three Possible High Speed Rail Outcomes • South Alignments • East (Altamont Pass) Alignments • Regional Rail without High-Speed

  7. Geographical Study Area • Bay Area Region • Looks beyond and includes: • Sacramento • Roseville • Stockton • Modesto • Los Banos • Salinas • Monterey
