Central Valley Rail Working Group 1. INTRODUCTIONS

Central Valley Rail Working Group 2. SJJPA Update Dan Leavitt, SJJPA

CVRWG Meeting: February 24, 2017

Morning Express Service (Fresno Sacramento) Key Investments (for Service Initiation in January 2018) Temporary Layover Facility - $1.5 Million Parking Expansions (Fresno, Merced, Turlock/Denair, Modesto, Stockton ACE Stations) - $1.8 Million Station Enhancements (various safety and security, signage, and beautification projects) - $425,000

Surveys for Morning Express Service Initial Results Sacramento Employee Survey 256 Respondents San Joaquin Valley Resident/Worker 1,676 respondents

Surveys for Morning Express Service Initial Results Initial Takeaways Both surveys indicate a high preference for Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) for current trips to Sacramento 73% of San Joaquin Valley Survey respondents have previously ridden the service 91% would be interested in riding if the train were an option Survey period is still open

2017 SJJPA Business Plan SJJPA must develop and approve a Business Plan for submittal to the Secretary of CalSTA by April 1 of each year. The 2017 SJJPA Business Plan is an update of the 2016 SJJPA Business Plan. The 2017 SJJPA Business Plan is for fiscal years 17/18 and 18/19. Includes updated numbers for the Amtrak budget and the SJJPA administrative costs and staffing. Updates portions of the 2016 Business Plan Update which were out-of-date, while adding relevant new text to reflect new initiatives and priorities.

Summary of Updates Financial Numbers and Ridership Figures Up-to-date figures through FY 16, including some future projections. Integration of the Morning Express Service Reflect the high priority of SJJPA s efforts to provide early-morning arrivals to Sacramento and the Bay Area. Focus on Additional Service to Sacramento Efforts to initiate 8 th Daily Round-Trip (as the 3 rd Daily Round Trip to Sacramento) utilizing Fresno as a midcorridor start/ends terminal.

Summary of Updates Operational Initiatives Reducing the end-to-end run time between the Bay Area and Bakersfield below 6 hours. Thruway Bus Initiative Exploring ways to increase the utilization of Thruway Buses. Madera Station Relocation Working with Madera County/Madera CTC and CHSRA to develop a new multi-modal hub station for Madera County.

Madera Station Relocation

2017 SJJPA Business Plan The Draft 2017 SJJPA Business Plan will be released to the Board and public by the end of February. The 2017 SJJPA Business Plan will be an action item for approval at the March, 24 2017 SJJPA Business Plan. Requires a 2/3 majority vote.

Connected Corridors Study - North Locations of Key Decision Points

Connected Corridors Study - North Five Major Network Defining Decisions Alignment Immediately North of Merced Location of Modesto Station Location of Stockton Area Hub Location of Elk Grove & Lodi Station Access to Sacramento Final HST/ICE Alignment North of Merced UP Fresno BN Stkn HST Station in Downtown Modesto Hub In Lathrop Hub In Stockton Downtown (UP or Close Prox) Sac Valley Station from East Sac Valley Station from West HST Station Outside Modesto Sac Sub Sac Midtown / Northside

Connected Corridors Study - North Merced Decision Point Key Questions Options What is the path for high-speed trains north of Merced and when is that decision made? How are connections made between existing passenger service and the Merced HS station post of Phase I HSR. Are these connections for runthrough operations from south or as a transfer point for diesel service from the north? What are the range of options for those connections, what types of operations do they facilitate, and what are the cost differences?

Connected Corridors Study - North 2. Modesto Decision Point Key Questions Options Is the long term station in Downtown Modesto? Is there Regional service along the UP serving the Modesto Altamont/Stockton market? If the requirement is for a downtown station and alignment is along the BN north of Merced, what are the range of options to transition from BN to UP (downtown)? What are the costs and challenges with these options?

Connected Corridors Study - North 3. Stockton Decision Point Trip Time from Merced to meet timed connections Statewide trip time goals Which connections should be / can be prioritized in each location When in the program is there a commitment to timed connections How the existing rail network can handle competing interests (multitude of the desired connections) Local interests Key Questions

Connected Corridors Study - North 3. Scenario Assessment Implement hub station without construction of new intercity route Scenario 1: Downtown Stockton Scenario 2: Lathrop Only one ICE/HSR station in Stockton area Martinez service serves downtown Stockton Link Martinez Regional service with Altamont and/or Modesto Regional service Support revitalization efforts in downtown Stockton Achieve 45-minute trip time between Merced and Hub in the short-medium term Achieve 45-minute trip time between Merced and Hub in the long term Modesto - Altamont service participate in hub Facilitate Martinez to southbound Intercity / HSR transfers Facilitate Altamont to southbound Intercity / HSR transfers Requires high-speed bypass through region

Connected Corridors Study - North 4. Stockton to South of Sacramento Key Questions Options Where are the preferred intermediate station locations between Stockton Sacramento? Is there Regional service along the Sac Sub serving regional markets? What are the range of costs and challenges with Sacramento vs Fresno Sub?

Connected Corridors Study - North 4. Stockton - Sacramento Relative Potential Cost of Route Options North of Stockton (Low cost option Sac Sub 110 Diesel = 1) SAC SUB ROW Construction FRE SUB ROW Construction

Connected Corridors Study - North 5. Approach to Sacramento Key Questions Options What corridor is rail service on approaching Sacramento from the south? Do HSR trains need to serve Sacramento Valley Station or can they serve Sacramento with one or more alternate station locations? What are the range of options for serving the Sacramento region and what are the benefits, challenges and costs of each of the options?

Connected Corridors Study - North Next Steps

Connected Corridors Study - North Next Steps 1. Complete the Decision Making Framework 1 2 3 Addresses the interaction between three scales of decision making and what analysis needs to be done at each scale 2. Identify items for follow up analysis and coordination 4 Next Steps
