2005-06 – 2015-16 California State Rail Plan RELATIONSHIP OF DEPARTMENT’S GOALS TO INTERCITY PASSENGER RAIL The five Department-wide transportation goals relate to the intercity passenger rail vision as follows: • SAFETY – Provide the safest transportation system in the nation for users and workers. The Rail Program strives for an excellent safety record on its intercity passenger rail services. All capital and equipment projects and operational initiatives have a strong safety component. The Operation Lifesaver rail safety campaign’s goal is improved safety at rail crossings. The Federal Section 130 Crossing Improvement Program and the Section 190 State Grade Separation Program to improve and construct rail/vehicle crossings also increase safety. • MOBILITY – Optimize transportation system throughput and provide dependable travel times. The Rail Program strives to enhance throughput in two ways: first, capital projects and service improvements make the intercity passenger rail system more efficient; and second, intercity passenger rail travel improves the efficiency of the highway system by reducing highway travel. The Rail Program has OTP goals for its intercity passenger rail routes; most capital projects and many operating initiatives are focused on improving OTP. • DELIVERY – Improve delivery of projects and services. The Rail Program delivers excellent performance in its capital program. The State’s intercity rail capital program is by far the largest of any Statefunded program in the nation. • FLEXIBILITY – Provide mobility choices through strategic partnerships. The Rail Program focuses on the goal of flexibility, by developing the intercity passenger rail travel option as one of several mass transit options available to the traveling public and improving intercity rail connectivity to other transportation options. • STEWARDSHIP – Preserve and enhance California’s resources and investments. The Rail Program preserves California’s investment in State-owned rail cars and locomotives. California has the largest fleet of State-owned rail equipment in the country. 8
Chapter II – Capital Program CHAPTER II CAPITAL PROGRAM This chapter describes the intercity rail capital program which includes the unconstrained and constrained ten-year capital program funding levels and project list, a discussion of historical funding for the capital program, and a discussion of the equipment, grade-crossing, and station programs. CAPITAL PROGRAM GOALS The Department’s goals for its Capital Program are as follows: • Increase capacity on existing routes to allow increased frequencies and improved reliability as a result of better on-time performance. • Reduce train-running times to attract riders and to provide an efficient service, with travel times directly competitive with the automobile. • Improve operational functioning and attractiveness of equipment, stations and facilities, including improved multimodal connectivity. • Increase the farebox ratio to reach or exceed the Department’s 50 percent standard. (Furtherance of the three above goals will result in improved costeffectiveness through an increase in revenues and a reduction in costs, with the resulting increase in farebox ratio.) • Improve the safety of State-supported intercity rail service, including grade crossings. • Implement projects to allow new cost-effective routes. These goals are used to guide the development of the ten-year capital program described below. Every capital project furthers one or more of these goals. UNCONSTRAINED TEN-YEAR CAPITAL PROGRAM Figure 2A presents the Department’s ten-year capital program for the three existing State-supported routes and for new routes. This $3.1 billion capital program represents an unconstrained program based on project needs, and not funding expectations. (See Figure 2B below for a constrained capital program consistent with prior State funding levels.) The unconstrained Ten-Year Intercity Rail Capital Program was developed from a number of sources. The first five-year increment of the program (2006-2010) is based on the latest Corridor Assessment Initatives prepared for Amtrak by the Department for the Pacific Surfliner and San Joaquin Routes and the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) for the Capitol Corridor. The Amtrak Corridor Initiatives is a five-year capital program that will become part of the next 9
