10 Action Plan Components RRSs TO IMPROVE ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE GOALS* MEASURED BY MTSOs TO SUPPORT POLICIES *Goals can apply systemwide as well

11 What is a Route of Regional Significance? Connects two or more regions Crosses county boundaries Carries a significant amount of through traffic Provides access to regional highway or major transit facility Source: Google Earth

12 West County RRSs and PDAs Source: Dyett & Bhatia

13 Overarching Goals of 2009 Action Plan To monitor the impacts of growth To reduce vehicle congestion on the RRSs To support/fund key objectives for multi-modal transportation such as: Increased pedestrian and bicycle usage Increased transit routes and usage Improved pavement quality Increased vehicle occupancy Source: californiabeat.org Source: Fehr & Peers

14 Route-Specific Goals - Freeways I-80 and I-580: Work with partner agencies and neighboring counties to fund/implement projects/programs to improve the flow of traffic, transit/commute options, and bottleneck conditions. Source: Fehr & Peers

15 Route-Specific Goals Streets Improve traffic operations Improve road infrastructure Improve bicycling facilities, access, and safety Improve walking facilities, access, and safety Enhance transit Relieve congestion Improve the streetscape Source: Fehr & Peers

16 Key Objectives A set of priorities in addition to MTSOs Currently not quantifiable Often more multi-modal and holistic than MTSOs Source: West County Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance 2009 Update

17 Existing Areawide MTSOs and Standards Measure Transit Satisfaction Pavement Quality Drive-Alone Rate Standard Maintain passenger satisfaction survey results from 2002 levels Maintain PCI from 2006 levels Less than 75% system-wide Transit Ridership Increase by 10% between 2007 and 2012 Bike/Ped Mode Split Capitol Corridor Ridership Richmond-San Francisco Ferry Ridership Hercules-San Francisco Ferry Ridership On-time Bus Performance Increase to 3% of commute trips Maintain 3,000 riders/day Achieve 500 riders/day Achieve 500 riders/day Maintain 2007 levels Source: West County Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance 2009 Update

18 Existing Route-Specific MTSO Standards Measure Standard Location Transit Ridership 3,000/weekday San Pablo Dam Rd Segment LOS LOS E or better I-580 SR-4 LOS D or better Cummings Skwy HOV Lane Usage Increase by 10% between 2007 and 2012 I-80 Delay Index (DI) 3.0 or less I-80 Intersection LOS LOS D or better Richmond Pkwy 23 rd St Appian Way Carlson Blvd Central Ave Cutting Blvd El Portal Drive Willow Ave Macdonald Ave LOS E or better San Pablo Ave San Pablo Dam Rd Source: West County Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance 2009 Update

19 MTSO Update for Consideration Regulatory Context (Complete Streets, GHG Targets) Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit LOS Measures Changes in Standards for Existing MTSOs Changes in MTSOs or Standards in PDAs, or Along Specific Route Segments

20 Place-Based Street Classification Example Source: Richmond General Plan, Circulation Element

21 Possible new MTSOs and standards Examples of different MTSOs Pedestrian, Bicycle, Transit LOS measures Pedestrian and bicycle activity Transit reliability # of collisions 85 th percentile speed Examples of different standards LOS E instead of LOS D on segments with pedestrian, bicycle, or transit priorities Increases/reductions with respect to an established baseline Different standards within PDAs

22 Next Steps Review Population, Employment and Travel Forecasts Review Current and Forecasted MTSO Values Consider Changes to: Routes of Regional Significance and Classification Areawide or Route-Specific Goals MTSOs and Actions
