Developing Alternative Transit Options In developing the detail and content of the long term TMP strategy we will need to consult with a wide range of stakeholders and incorporate as many views as possible. While collecting ideas and feedback, we will all need to be mindful of the need to find the funding for any policies and projects that we consider. Predicting what Sacramento will, or could, be like in 25-30 years is a complex task and we need to allow for a range of uncertainties and risks. Our approach to this complex exercise is to develop a series of broad future Scenarios that we can use to test a mix of land use, population/employment/household, and transit options. There are three scenarios being developed as follows:
  • Scenario A: Base Case - Financially Constrained to Existing Sources - assumes that the Blueprint smart growth measures are not implemented and that transit provision is very much a status quo offer
  • Scenario B: Blueprint and MTP - assumes that the Blueprint Preferred Alternative land-use is delivered and that the transit network is as proposed in SACOG's Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2035
  • Scenario C: Integrated Transit Solution - extends the transit offer beyond the MTP2035 providing a fully integrated package linking the Blueprint with a comprehensive set of Transit, transportation demand management (TDM) and transit oriented development (TOD) policies and projects
You can find out more information about what is included in each of the scenarios by clicking on them above. Please remember that these are still "draft for discussion" - the detail will be added as we get feedback from the public and through and the "technical" analysis still to be done.

How will these Scenarios be developed and tested?

These basic scenarios are being used to get public input into the vision for the Sacramento transit system. The input from the public will be used over the summer to help inform the more detailed development of each scenario. Regional Transit and its consultancy team will use SACOG's transportation software model as well as and their own tools to test the scenarios and illustrate results.
