SUBJECT: PROPOSED GOALS FOR INTERCITY RAIL SERVICE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Adopt the attached goals for intercity rail service as County policy, and authorize staff
to include the goals in a future amendment of the General Plan Transportation and
Circulation Element.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board of Supervisors established the Ad Hoc Intercity Rail Advisory Committee
(AIRAC) several years ago to advise the Board on intercity rail issues pertaining to
Contra Costa County. Intercity rail differs from commuter rail in that it typically covers
longer distances, charges higher fares, and isn't used for everyday commuting,
although business travelers may use it often for out-of-town business trips.

PROPOSED GOALS FOR INTERCITY RAIL SERVICE
APRIL 9,2001
Page 2
Contra Costa County is served by two intercity rail lines: the Capitol Corridor and the San Joaquin service.
The Capitol Corridor is operated by a joint powers authority and currently has seven roundtrips daily between
the Sacramento area and the Bay Area, including stops at Martinez and Richmond. Two additional roundtrips
are expected to begin in May 2001. The San Joaquin, operated by Caltrans, has four roundtrips daily
between Bakersfield and the Bay Area with stops at Antioch, Martinez and Richmond. The San Joaquin also
operates two additional daily roundtrips between Bakersfield and Sacramento which don't enter Contra Costa
County or the Bay Area.
Staff and AIRAC began last year to develop a set of proposed goals for intercity rail service, with the intent
that the goals ultimately would be brought to the Board of Supervisors for consideration as County policy and
amendment into the General Plan Transportation and Circulation Element.
A preliminary set of goals was developed and brought to the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure
Committee in August 2001. The Committee authorized staff to release the preliminary goals to outside
agencies and other interested parties for review. Eight letters of comment were received. AIRAC and staff
reviewed the comments and accommodated them to the extent possible in a revised set of goals, which is
shown in Exhibit A. Exhibit B contains the letters of comment received on the preliminary goals. Exhibit C is
the mailing list to whom the preliminary goals were sent. In response to one of the comment letters (from the
TRANSPLAN Committee), staff is working with Supervisor Glover to seek an interested resident of District V
to serve on AIRAC. The other four supervisorial districts all are represented on AIRAC.
developed by the Ad Hoc Intercity Rail Advisoiry Committee
March 1, 2001
EXHIBIT A
Increase ridership by:
■ Increasing awareness of intercity service by increasing and improving marketing and promotional
opportunities.
• Increasing access (seamless transfer systems between passenger trains and other modes;.additional
train service; and planning for compact land uses around rail stations)
® Increasing the level of service(support the service-increase recommendations in Caltrans'
Preliminary Draft California Rail Passenger Program Report, calling for 12 daily roundtrips on the
Capitols and six daily roundtrips of the San JOaquins through Contra Costa County by FY 2008/09,
and earlier morning westbound trips on the San Joaquin to accommodate growth in East County)
® Improving the quality of station services, reductions in running time, and improved on-time -
performance
Improve efficiency by:
® Improving tracks and stations to help increase the capacity of the rail system*
Increase fundint4 by:
® Working for additional rail funding through efforts such as a Measure C extension and future state
and federal funding cycles
® Shifting the emphasis of funding from highways to a greater intercity rail orierrtation, including
alternative modes used as rail feeder services.
M Working to change the statutory requirement for a two-thirds majority on transportation-tax ballot
measures to a simple majority requirement
■ Provide greater intercity rail funding opportunities through more flexibility in funding programs.
* - Track improvements will benefit freight services as well as passenger services.

Dear Mr. Abelson:
Thank you for the opportunity to review theproposed goals for intercity rail service developed
by the Ad Hoc Intercity Rail Advisory Committee(AIRAC). It is my understanding these goals,
or a revised version of them, eventually will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for
consideration as County policy.
The TRANSPLAN Committee believes intercity rail service is an important part of the
transportation network. Establishment of goals for such services will help focus the efforts
toward improving such services.
At our November 9 meeting, the TRANSPLAN Committee approved the attached set of
suggested revisions and comments on the proposed goals. Please consider these suggestions as
you work with County staff to.finalize the goals.
Also please note our request that County staff work with the County Supervisor from District 5
(East County),to appoint an East County resident to the AIRAC Committee. East County is a
prime market for increased rail service. Addition of an East County resident will ensure this
perspective is reflected in AI AC'.s work.
If.you have questions about these suggested revisions and comments,please contact John
Greitzer, staff to the TRANSPLAN Committee, at(925) 335-1201.

RE: Comments on Intercity Passenger Rail Service in Contra Costa County
Dear John:
The Town of Discovery Bay Board of Directors would like to provide you with a few of their
comments based on your letter for comments of June 19,2000.
First,some background information:
The combined number of existing homes in the Byron and Discover},Bay communities today is
around`4300 and in most cases both man and wife of these communities, drive to work in two
different vehicles daily. This makes for quite a few vehicles (about 7,500+) on only three main
routes that we have in the area, which are Vasco Road,Highway 4 and J4.
Comments:
1.. The Board strongly supports the development of a light rail commuter center in the Byron
Area.The use of redevelopment money, State and Federal grants should make this happen.
2. The Board supports the idea of using the existing railway tracks that I believe run from the
Antioch Area to the City of Tracy,that come through the B3Ton Area.
3. The Board also believes that the existing railway tracks could be used as a feeder to the new
ACE Train System.
I would like to ask that you and your group keep us informed as progress proceeds on this
subject.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter in more detail,please feel free to
contact meat(925) 634-1131.
Sincerely,
Virgil Koehae, General Manager

Subject: Comments on proposed goals for intercity rail in Contra Costa
John, the following are my comments on the AIRAC's proposed goals. If you need a
formal letter stating these comments, please let me know. In general, the goals seem
appropriate and in line with Amtrak's "California Passenger Rail System Five-Year
Improvement Plan Summary Report."
Has any thought been given to prioritizing the goals or to developing an action plan to
implement them?
1. Bullet#1 - Increasing awareness is important for the Capitol Corridor as well as the
San Joaquins.
2. Bullet r2 - mention that the Richmond station has the only direct connection between
intercity trains and BART.
3. Bullet 4 - Add "ticketing improvements" to the list of options for improving the
quality of the service.
4. Add a bullet in the first section("Increase ridership by...") that states:
"Adding new rail corridors/stops and connecting service to the San
Joaquin and Capitol Corridor train service."
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the goals.

Dear Mr. Grelt er:
The TRANSPAC TAC reviewed the request for comments on the ,proposed goals for
intercity rail passenger service in Contra Costa County prepared by the Ad Hoc
Intercity Rail Advisory-Comni1ttee (AIRAC). The TAC appreciates AIRAG's efforts in
developing these goals which are an important planning tool for the future of rail In
Contra Costa. The TAC's comments are really questions primarily focused on how
the proposed goals "fit" with other rail and transportation planning activities In
Contra Costa,
The Central County Action Plan includes a statement of TRANSPAC's Interest In the
use of existing rail rights-of-way to connect Central and East County and East County
to the ACE corridor The Plan also recommends that the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority undertake a study, with cooperation from TRANSPAC and TRANSPLAN, on
the use of these rights of way. The TAC would like to know how the AIRAC goals
relate to the Central County recommendation and to the transportation planning
activities of the various Regional Transportation Planning Committees.
In addition, we are curious to know how the proposed goals relate to the proposed
development of a draft process for an Antioch BART Extension Study de'scribed In
your July 18, 2000 memo and whether this study will examine conventional rail
options as well as a BART alternative. It seems to the TAC that a rail study options
should be undertaken for the East County area Including possible Central and East
County locations for connections to BART as well as the south to the ACE train,
The study should also assess the feasibility, type, schedule and cost of improvements
required to provide commuter rail service on an existing rail line, as a relative near-
term Improvement while seeking funding for a BART extension or possibly instead
of a BART extension,
It appears to the TAC that there may be an opportunity to begin to look the near and
long term rail transit needs In East County and begin to formulate an investment
strategy that will provide needed rail transit service In the SR 4 corridor.
One of the proposed goals Is to "shift the balance of future funding programs from
a highway orientation to more of a rail orientation." Given that there will always be
highways needs, a slightly different approach may be to allow maximum flexibility
in determining the best Investment for a given area at a given point in time,.
Localities in concert with Congestion Management Agencies and/or Transportation
Authorities could determine the parameters of that "best Investment" which could
15 -- PQ
be fund programming to one mode or a combination of both to maximize the mobility
options available to the traveling public.
I understand that comments have been requested by September 15, 2000; Please
be advised that due to our summer meeting schedule, TKANSPAC has not had an
opportunity to review the proposed goals, although the Item will be scheduled for its
September 13, 2000 meeting. I would appreciate It if ARAK would receive any
additional comments from TRANSPAC that may result from that meeting,
Thank you for the opportunity to review this Important document,

Dear Mr. Greitzer:
TRANSPAC reviewed the request for comments on the proposed goals for intercity rail
passenger service in Contra Costa County prepared by the Ad Hoc Intercity Rail Advisory
Committee (AIRAC) as well as our TAC's comment letter sent to you in August.
TRANSPAC appreciates the opportunity to review the proposed goals and your
acceptance of comments after September 15, 2000.
TRANSPAC supports its TAC comments and is pleased that an "all type" rail study is in
development for Eastern Contra Costa. As youare aware, the Central County Action
Plan includes a statement of TRANSPAC's interest in the use of existing rail rights-of-way to
connect Central and East County and East County to the ACE corridor. TRANSPAC
believes that an assessment of the feasibility, type, schedule and cost of improvements
.could identify the steps necessary to implement commuter rail service on an existing rail
line. TRANSPAC remains interested in participating in such a study which hopefully can
identify possible rail connections which can be implemented in the relative short-term.
TRANSPAC expressed similar concerns as the TAC regarding the proposed goal to "shift
the balance of future funding programs from a highway orientation to more of a rail-
orientation." Given TRANSPAC's experience in. fund programming, flexibility in
determining the best investment strategy to achieve local transportation objectives is a
key issue. As a result, TRANSPAC believes that maximizing investment flexibility ultimately
better serves the needs of the traveling public.
Thank you for the opportunity for TRANSPAC to review the proposed goals and please call
on us to participate in the rail study.
Sincerely,-

Dear Mr. Greitzer:
On behalf of the CCJPA, I would like to thank the Contra Costa County Ad Hoc Intercity Rail
Advisory Committee for allowing the CCJPA to review committee's proposed goals for intercity rail
service in Contra Costa County. The CCJPA supports the efforts of the committee and believes that a
key component to the future success of intercity rail service is working together with the various
partners ranging from Amtrak, the State of California, the railroad owners (in most cases freight
railroads), local/regional transportation agencies and advocacy committees like yourselves. I would
like to provide the following comments on the committee's proposed goals:
Increase ridership
- The CCJPA Board of Directors recently initiated an Outreach Committee,who is working in
partnership with local communities and advocacy groups, to raise the awareness of the Capitol
Corridor in the communities that are served by the trains.
- The CCJPA as supported by its local transit member agencies are seeking to continually
improve access to/from the Capitol Corridor. Examples include:
• Improved intermodal connections: The extension of Sacramento RT LRT to the
Sacramento Depot (service begins.in 2002); Martinez Intermodal Station(currently
under construction); Richmond (currently under construction), which will include a
transit village, and planned improvements at the San Jose Diridon Station which is
served by Caltrain, ACE, Capitol Corridor, and Amtrak long distance trains,Amtrak
feeder and local buses and the planned VTA Vasona LRT
• A transfer transit program will be implemented in October 2000 which will provide a
two-part coupon available from Amtrak conductors to allow a free transfer between
Capitol Corridor trains and AC Transit and Sacramento local transit(light rail and bus)
services
- The CCJPA is embarking upon an'aggressive service expansion plan to increase train
frequencies in the corridor. As identified in Amtrak's California Passenger Rail Study (May
2000), service will increase from 7 daily round trip trains in the corridor today to a minimum of
12 daily trains by 2005 with an ultimate plan of 16 daily trains, essentially hourly service from
6 am to 10 pm.
- As part of this service expansion plan, the CCJPA, supported by Amtrak and the State of
California, is working in a partnership with the Union Pacific Railroad, the owner of the rail
right-of-way and facilities, to implement track infrastructure improvements that will increase
track capacity to support added Capitol Corridor trains (while allowing for growth of freight
rail traffic), reduce train travel times, and improve reliability.

Increase efficiency
- Another aspect of improving efficiency is to continually increase ridership and revenues
thereby increasing the farebox recovery ratio,a common standard to measure financial
efficiency.
It is encouraging to see this progressive, collaborative approach towards improving intercity rail
service in Contra Costa County. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in the development of
these goals. We look forward to working with the cornmittee and Contra Costa County to enhance the
Capitol Corridor service as part of the county's transportation system.
