2007-08 – 2017-18 California State Rail PlanTrack Upgrade - $0.7 millionThis project includes upgrade of the diamond at Lyoth and replacement of theswitch at Hunter Street.Capital Spares/Upgrades for Passenger Cars and Locomotives - $0.9 millionThis project includes new seat cushions for the original eight passenger cars, twonew air conditioning units and the overhaul of 18 more units, locomotive andpassenger car wheels, and two locomotive traction motors.PROPOSED SERVICE EXTENSIONSThe SJRRC is completing a study on potential extensions and new services in theCentral Valley. The final report is expected to go before the SJRRC Board inFall 2007 for approval. The study is reviewing extensions to the ACE service,which include Merced to Sacramento commuter service, commuter service to theEast Bay from Stockton to Oakland, the Westside line from Los Banos to Tracy,and coordination with BART in the Livermore/Amador area.PROPOSED COMMUTER RAIL SERVICESThree potential new commuter rail services are being proposed. They arediscussed below.VENTURA AND SANTA BARBARA COMMUTER RAIL SERVICEThere is interest in expanding commuter rail service in Ventura and Santa BarbaraCounties. Currently, Metrolink operates the Ventura County line betweenLos Angeles and Montalvo and the Pacific Surfliner operates five daily roundtripsfrom Los Angeles to Goleta, with two trips continuing to San Luis Obispo.Thus, commuter and intercity rail service now serves Ventura County and intercityrail service serves Santa Barbara County.“101 in Motion” and the LOSSAN North Strategic Plan are two recent studies ofcommuter transportation patterns in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.In addition, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has initiateda study that will look at alternatives including additional Amtrak intercity railservice and commuter rail service utilizing existing equipment types or DMUtechnology. For each alternative, the study will develop an operational analysisincluding: service scenarios, equipment needs, as well as estimates for ridership,revenues, operating and maintenance costs, and operating deficit.SONOMA MARIN-AREA RAIL TRANSITThe purpose of the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit District (SMART) is toprovide passenger rail passenger service to Sonoma and Marin County residentsalong the Northwestern Pacific (NWP) rail corridor. The NWP generally parallelsHighway 101 and is located in Sonoma and Marin counties, north ofSan Francisco. AB 2224 (2002) authorized the creation of the SMART Rail162
Chapter IX – Commuter Rail ServicesDistrict. The legislation designated SMART as the owner of the NWP corridorfrom Healdsburg to Corte Madera, and as the operator for passenger rail service.Passenger rail service on the line was provided as late as 1958, with service toSan Rafael. Public acquisition of the line began in the 1970's and was completedin the mid-1990's. Numerous transportation planning studies, dating back to the1980's have recommended the utilization of the NWP for passenger rail service.Prior to the formation of the SMART Rail District, the project was planned by thejoint county SMART Commission, which was replaced by the SMART DistrictBoard of Directors in 2003.The SMART Commission sponsored the Sonoma Marin Transportation and LandUse Study, in 1995, which recommended specific station locations and rail linetermini. In 2001, the Commission oversaw the Commuter Rail ImplementationPlan, which recommended 30-minute service along the line. Work to refine thatPlan and produce environmental clearance for the project was initiated in 2001.Consultant contracts to develop rail systems planning work (2001), environmentalanalysis (2003), community outreach (2002), and station planning (2003) areon-going. The Draft Environmental Impact Report is expected in fall, 2005.Current implementation plans include service start up in 2009-10 along a 70-milecorridor with service from Cloverdale to the existing Larkspur ferry terminal.Fourteen stations are planned: nine in Sonoma County and five in Marin County.Service assumptions include 30-minute peak period headways and twelve trainsper day. Initial ridership is estimated at about 5,000 per day. DMU rail vehiclesare currently being evaluated for use along the corridor.The SMART estimates capital costs (in 2004 dollars) to upgrade tracks, buildstations and a maintenance facility, and purchase vehicles at $340 million for thefull 70-mile corridor. Projected operating costs are $10-12 million per year.Approximately $120 million in local, State and Federal funding has been set asidefor the project. The remaining funding for the project, including on-goingoperating funds, would come from a district wide one-quarter-cent sales taxmeasure. It is anticipated that measure will be placed on the ballot inNovember 2006.AUBURN-OAKLAND REGIONAL RAIL SERVICESix agencies have partnered to develop a service concept plan for a new regionalcommuter rail service in the urban corridor extending from Auburn (Bowman) toOakland. The agencies are: the CCJPA, Contra Costa Transportation Authority,Solano Transportation Authority, Yolo County Transportation District,Sacramento Regional Transit District, and Placer County Transportation PlanningAgency. The UP, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, and theDepartment also participated in the study that was originated in 2002. The newservice would augment existing Capitol Corridor intercity service by providing163
