surrounding the Airport and Coliseum). The TMC conceptual design is discussed in greater detail in Section 7. 2.3 ON-GOING REGIONAL PROJECTS 2.3.1 East Bay SMART Corridor Project The SMART Corridors program is a cooperative effort by the Alameda County CMA, Contra Costa County Transportation Authority (CCTA), and twenty-four other agencies to plan and implement a multi-modal advanced transportation management system along the I-880 corridor, which includes International Boulevard, East 14 th Street, San Leandro Street, Hesperian Boulevard, and Union City Boulevard; and the San Pablo Avenue (I-80) corridor. The goal of the SMART Corridors program is to allow local agencies to better manage congestion and improve transportation safety, mobility and efficiency along regional arterial routes. SMART Corridors permit efficient operation and management of existing roadway and transit resources through the integration and use of currently available technologies combined with strengthened institutional ties and inter-jurisdictional coordination. SMART Corridors use a variety of technologies to improve the performance of transportation systems, by promoting efficient use of the existing highway and transit systems, and reducing environmental costs to the public. The technologies being deployed on the noted arterials include CCTV, video image detection (VID) systems, EVP, transit priority and microwave vehicle detection system (MVDS). The SMART Corridors program has evolved into a multi-year, multi-phase program, which started through cooperative efforts of the local agencies in the San Pablo Avenue and I-880 corridors. The project is divided into four phases: • Phase I – Strategic Plan (Systems Engineering Study); • Phase II – Design and Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates; • Phase III – Construction; and • Phase IV – Integration, Testing and Systems Acceptance. Phase I and Phase II of the project have been completed. The SMART Corridors project is currently in the construction phase scheduled to be completed in November 2003. The project is relevant to the Oakland ITS program because it will put into place equipment and infrastructure which can be used by the Citywide ITS. The Oakland ITS program should also be interoperable with the SMART Corridors elements to achieve cross-jurisdictional cooperation and data-sharing. Interoperability will be achieved through compliance with national ITS standards, and through direct agency cooperation. The corridors in Oakland that will be receiving ITS equipment as part of the SMART Corridors project are San Pablo Avenue, San Leandro Street and East 14 th Street/International Boulevard.

2.3.2 Bay Area Regional ITS Architecture and Strategic Plan Project The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is in the process of developing a regional ITS architecture for the San Francisco Bay Area to fulfill federal requirements. They have recently completed Phase 1 of the project which involved developing a complete inventory of existing and planned ITS systems in the Bay Area. The inventory is the result of numerous stakeholder meetings and workshops over the past year and a half. Phase 2 of the project will develop the regional ITS architecture database. In addition, MTC will be developing an ITS Strategic Plan for the Bay Area as part of Phase 2. Phase 2 is expected to be completed in 2004. The Bay Area Regional ITS Architecture will be the blue print for future ITS deployment in the region. In addition, it will enable interoperability of ITS infrastructure throughout the entire Bay Area. The City of Oakland’s ITS program must follow this blue print in order to be eligible for future federal funding and to ensure interoperability with other regional ITS systems. As with the SMART Corridors project, interoperability will be achieved through compliance with national ITS standards, and through direct agency cooperation. 2.3.3 Caltrans District 4 TMC Caltrans District 4 operates numerous ITS devices on Bay Area freeways including CCTV, DMS, vehicle detectors, ramp meters and main line meters. These devices are used to help manage freeway traffic from a state-of-the-art TMC located at 111 Grand Avenue in Downtown Oakland. The California Highway Patrol (CHP), MTC’s freeway service patrol (FSP) and the 511/TravInfo® system are all collocated in the Caltrans District 4 TMC. Caltrans is in the process of developing standard TMC software for managing ITS devices that will be implemented at all Caltrans TMCs statewide. The Caltrans TMC is important to Oakland’s Citywide ITS program because traffic data pertaining to Caltrans-operated freeways within Oakland’s boundaries can be shared with the City of Oakland TMC. Access to this data will help the City better manage traffic on their City streets. 2.3.4 511/TravInfo® TravInfo® is the 511 traveler information phone service for the Bay Area, launched in December 2002 by MTC. The service hopes to provide comprehensive, accurate, reliable, and useful on-demand traveler information to Bay Area travelers. By dialing 511, motorists can obtain information regarding traffic conditions, public transportation conditions, and details about carpools, vanpools, and bicycle routes. TravInfo® is relevant to the Oakland ITS program because traffic conditions throughout Oakland are covered by the service, including conditions on the main freeways traversing Oakland (I- 880, I-980, I-580, Route 13 and Route 24), AC Transit, the Alameda/Oakland Ferry, and conditions at Oakland’s eight BART stations. TravInfo® is free and operates via voice recognition. Traffic data sources include CHP, Caltrans sensors on area freeways, and radio and TV reports. The system is also accessible to hearing and vision-impaired travelers through the phone-based California Relay Service which translates the information into accessible formats. A corresponding web-based 511 service is under development and is expected to be online later this year. City of Oakland ITS Strategic Plan 13 September, 2003
