T-P-61 *Encourage high-security off-street parking areas for tractor-trailer rigs in industrial areas. T-P-62 Explore possible funding sources, including truck user fees if feasible, to help finance truck route improvements and truck parking areas, at least in part. T-P-63 *Continue to improve and maintain the condition and safety of existing railroad crossings by upgrading surface conditions and installing signs and signals where warranted. T-P-64 Explore possible funding sources, including truck user fees if feasible, to help finance truck route improvements and truck parking areas, at least in part. T-P-65 Prohibit the use of arterial streets for freight loading and unloading. Rail Union Pacific (UP), Burlington Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF), and San Joaquin Valley Railroad (SJVRR) provide freight service to Visalia, connecting the city and Tulare County to major markets in California (Oakland/San Francisco/San Jose, Sacramento, and Los Angeles) and to other destinations. Routes of principal rail lines in the county are identified in Figure 4-6. Freight terminals and service to specific industries are located throughout the county. Though the railroads are reluctant to provide information on the amount of freight originating in the county, it is likely that the predominant mode for freight movements in the county will continue to be by truck in the foreseeable future. Passenger rail service (six round trips daily) in the county is provided by Amtrak on its San Joaquin service, with the nearest rail station located in Hanford (Kings County). Amtrak provides bus connections to and from Visalia (twice daily) and Goshen Junction (two times daily) to the Hanford station. Either Orange Belt Stages or Greyhound provides service to Amtrak from downtown Visalia. Cross Valley Rail Project The Cross Valley Rail improvement project was completed in 2003. The line allows food processing and industrial businesses to ship by rail as opposed to heavy-duty trucks. Funding was made possible through funds from public and private entities, including Congestion Management Air Quality Improvement Program funds from Tulare, Kings, and Fresno County councils of governments, contributions from the Los Gatos Tomato Company and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. California High Speed Rail The California High Speed Rail Authority is currently in the process of developing a high-speed rail system that would provide passenger transportation and goods movement services throughout California with 800 miles of track and 24 stations. The first segment of the route will be between Bakersfield and Fresno. Through the EIR process, the preferred alignment and a station has been identified in Kings County. This station will be the Kings/Tulare Regional Station and will be located near the City of Hanford (Kings County). DRAFT ELEMENTS For General Plan Update Review Committee AUGUST 2012 4-45
