2005-06 – 2015-16 California State Rail Plan ACE serves these stations: Stockton, Lathrop/Manteca, Tracy, Vasco, Livermore, Pleasanton, Fremont, Great America, Santa Clara, and San Jose. Free parking is available at all stations, except at the Santa Clara and San Jose stations where there is a daily fee of $1.50. FARE STRUCTURE The ACE has five fare zones based on distance traveled. The system has a proofof-payment system where riders must show proof of ticket purchase when asked to do so. Ticket types are one-way, round-trip, weekly, 20-ride, and monthly passes. The ACE is working with the CCJPA on a pilot program to integrate service ideas and amenities common to both systems to control costs and benefit passengers on both corridors. These efforts include a common global positioning system (GPS), joint automated ticketing, public address (PA) announcements, and electronic fare media at shared stations. CONNECTING SERVICES Bus and rail transit connections and dedicated shuttles are an integral part of the ACE system, providing a seamless commuting link between stations and riders’ workplaces. All stations with the exception of the Tracy station have some form of connecting transit. In addition, three stations have direct connections to rail services. The Stockton station has connections to the San Joaquin Route trains. The Santa Clara-Great America station connects with Caltrain and the Capitol Corridor. At San Jose, connections are made with Caltrain, the Capitol Corridor, and the Amtrak long distance Coast Starlight. PERFORMANCE Figure 9G In 2005 calendar year, ACE ridership was over 667,000. ACE is improving marketing outreach to increase ridership. Passenger fares in 2004 approximated $3.5 million. ACE’s OTP in 2004 averaged 83 percent. This is a decrease from previous years and is due to weather conditions and increased UP freight traffic on the railroad line used by ACE. Figure 9G shows ACE’s annual ridership from 1998 through 2005. ACE Ridership Calendar Years 1998-2005 Year Ridership Year Ridership 1998 67,222 2002 803,522 1999 424,988 2003 607,017 2000 714,259 2004 640,753 2001 922,976 2005 667,029 126
Chapter IX – Commuter Rail Services PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS ACE service will continue with three round-trip trains in the morning and evening commute windows. ACE will continue to focus on improving OTP and train speeds, expanding options for communicating train status to passengers, providing more opportunities for passengers to participate in the ACE planning process, and implementing new schedules as necessary to improve coordination and performance. ACE will invest in infrastructure projects that will allow for higher track speeds or improved reliability. A pilot program of on board ticket vending machines to allow on board collection of fares is being planned. Efforts are underway to implement a fourth train. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The ACE 2005/06 capital improvement program totals $31.3 million. Principal projects include: Rail Maintenance and Layover Facility in San Joaquin County - $8.2 million This is a multi-year project with funds for ROW acquisition, engineering, and partial Phase I construction. Passenger Rail Cars and Locomotive - $9.9 million This is a multi-year project with only funds for FY 2005-06 identified. The purchase of 12 to 18 new rail cars and four locomotives will provide equipment for the fourth train. While this train is not scheduled to begin service until the existing train service reaches 85 percent capacity, there is 18 to 24 months lead time for the rolling stock to be constructed. Signal Upgrade Project (Stockton to Fremont) - $6.0 million This is a multi-year project, which began in FY 2004-05, to upgrade the signal system between Stockton and Fremont and improve service reliability. The total estimated project cost is $11.5 million, and funds identified are for work to be completed in FY 2005/06. Major Tie Replacement Program - $2.3 million This project is jointly funded by ACE, the CCJPA, and the UP. The total cost is estimated at $7 million, with each entity funding one third. The project is between Niles Junction and Santa Clara. Track Upgrade - $0.7 million This project includes upgrade of the diamond at Lyoth and replacement of the switch at Hunter Street. Capital Spares/Upgrades for Passenger Cars and Locomotives - $0.5 million This project includes new seat cushions for the original eight passenger cars, two new air conditioning units and the overhaul of 18 more units, locomotive and passenger car wheels, and two locomotive traction motors. 127
