Executive Summary In September 2004, Omnitrans, the transit service provider for the San Bernardino Valley, adopted the first System-Wide Plan, a key document in implementing a vision for the future of transit in the Valley. The 2004 version of the System-Wide Plan identified seven premium transit corridors with potential to develop into major fixed route transit investments. In the time since the previous report there have been numerous changes that required the update of the System-Wide Plan. This version of the System-Wide Plan supports Omnitrans’ ongoing efforts to develop the San Bernardino Express (sbX) network, a series of premium transit corridors, currently planned as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors. The System-Wide Plan presents an introduction of the considerations reflected in this document, including the development of the sbX E Street BRT Corridor and the passage of Senate Bill 375 in November of 2008. All of the potential corridors, identified in Exhibit ES-1, are then identified and potential alignments are given. The corridors are then analyzed based on existing conditions, i.e. land use patterns, ridership patterns, demographic patterns, as well as future conditions. The future conditions are based on the San Bernardino Valley Focused Travel Demand Model, which generates transit ridership forecasts. Chapter 5 presents a comparison of the corridors based On Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Starts/Small Starts Analysis, as well as corridors that promote: • Sustainability • Economic Development, and • Increased Mobility. The System-Wide plan gives priority to corridors that: • Promote transit oriented development and transit signal priority (TSP) • contribute to the project development process • promote the goals of SB 375 and regional Growth Management policies The corridors and evaluated and prioritized into Priority Corridors, Near Term Corridors, Mid term Corridors and Long Term Corridors. Table ES-1 presents the corridor prioritization and primary rationale for prioritization. Due to the limited resources allocated to transit, Omnitrans is encouraging communities to identify opportunities to support transit and the sbX network, by planning for new development around station areas, and the ability to utilize federal, state and local resources to encourage these developments and in turn better transit service. All ten of the major transit corridors in the San Bernardino Valley identified in this System-Wide Plan exhibit great potential for sbX services that: • achieve speeds competitive with the automobile during peak commute periods; • emphasize reliability due to the fact that they either travel in dedicated lanes/ways or have preferential treatment; • have the shortest possible headways to guarantee short transfer wait times between routes/connecting corridors; and • are attractive with well-designed vehicles and stations/stops that blend well into adjacent land uses and activity centers. In conclusion, this System-Wide Transit Corridor Plan provides a solid basis for Omnitrans’ ongoing development of premier transit corridors to serve the San Bernardino Valley over the next 25 years. The Corridors identified and analyzed in the plan are all corridors viable for development and Omnitrans will continue these efforts to develop these corridors through the FTA project development process and in coordination with local jurisdictions and other regional partners.
