CALTRAIN EXTENSION TO MONTEREY COUNTYALTERNATIVES ANALYSISALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS STUDY PROCESSThe proposed project is the outgrowth of a detailed analysis of alternatives conducted over a periodof five years (2002–2007). The process followed by the alternatives analysis is consistent withguidance provided by the Federal Transit Administration and is shown graphically below. This studyidentified unmet intra-county travel needs within Monterey County and inter-county travel needsbetween Monterey and southern Santa Cruz counties and the San Francisco Bay Area. To addressthese travel markets, eight alternatives were identified as depicted in Figure 9-3. These alternativeswere conceptually defined as insofar as fixed guideway alignments, station locations, servicecharacteristics and capital costs.Figure 9-2Locally Preferred Alternative Selection ProcessUniverse of AlternativesInitial ScreeningConceptual AlternativesSecondary EvaluationDetailed AlternativesDetailed AnalysisFinalAlternative (locally preferredalternative)EVALUATION OF CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVESAs a result of the public involvement and policy review process, four alternatives emerged for furtherrefinement and testing. These four alternatives, labeled A through D, are listed below:A. Caltrain to Salinas Rail Service (four roundtrips on weekdays) and Intracounty BRT (busrapid transit) Service (Monterey to Castroville and Marina to Salinas).B. Intracounty BRT/LRT (light rail transit) Service (BRT from Monterey to north Marina andMarina to Salinas, LRT from Monterey to Castroville), Monterey Peninsula to San FranciscoIntercity Rail Service (Monterey to San Francisco) and Caltrain to Salinas Rail Service(Commuter Rail).C. Intracounty LRT Service (local LRT from Monterey to north Marina, LRT extension fromNorth Marina to Castroville and Castroville to Salinas), Monterey Peninsula to San FranciscoIntercity Rail Service (passenger rail from Monterey to San Francisco) and Caltrain toSalinas Rail Service.D.
