Sacramento Regional Transit is considering three possible scenarios for the future transit provision for the region and would like you views on which to adopt. Maps showing the main projects/changes are attached, however, in summary the scenarios are:
| Scenario |
Description |
Revenue Requirements |
|
Scenario A: Base Case - Financially Constrained to Existing Sources
|
Continues with current service and includes the following:
Extends light rail to Richards Boulevard, to Cosumnes River College and double tracks the Blue Line as part of the Northeast Corridor Enhancements
Adds limited-stop peak services on the Blue and Gold lines
Cameras installed at 50 light rail stations
Review and revise the bus network to make best use of finite resources
|
Capable of being funded with existing funding sources (i.e. Measure 'A') |
|
Scenario B: Blueprint and MTP2035
|
Consistent with SACOG's Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP2035) and will enhance service and includes the following:
Extend light rail to the airport
Streetcar services in Rancho Cordova and Downtown/West Sacramento
An increase of fixed-route bus services by 150%, including more neighborhood shuttles
Paratransit services provided with increased passenger services
High frequency, express services running in carpool lanes
Enhanced Bus Service – upgraded vehicles, signage and waiting areas
|
Will require Measure 'A' plus an additional source. SACOG, as part of the MTP2035, assumed an additional ¼¢ sales tax. |
| Scenario C: Integrated Transit Solution
|
Extends the transit offer beyond the MTP2035 providing a fully integrated package that will link transit services with transportation demand management (TDM) and transit oriented development (TOD) policies and projects. Scenario C includes all of the features of Scenario B and adds the following:
Improvements to stops & stations
Increasing service frequencies
Extends light rail to Elk Grove, Citrus Heights and Roseville
A comprehensive streetcar network linking West Sacramento, Davis, Broadway, Railyards, Midtown, Cal Expo and Point West
A 250% increase in bus service hours and includes 10/20/30 minute services
New stops and shelters across the network
Better access to the transit network
|
Not costed, but will require more funding than Scenario B. |
