TransportationCommission | 2007-03-28 | 4 | discrepancy between the calculation above which talked about 16 hours for two buses, but the mileage was the same at 120. Mr. Atkinson replied that was with respect to route miles, and that it may not have been changed in the report when the language regarding two buses was added. Commissioner Krueger wanted to make sure that the report contained apples-to-apples comparisons. Mr. Atkinson responded that he would fine-tune the numbers. Commissioner Schatmeier moved to approve the Shuttle Services and Operations Analysis, to include the adjustment of the AC Transit operational cost analysis to conform with the AC Transit proposed routing of one bus; to include Commissioner Krueger's comment regarding the map on page 14. Commissioner Krueger seconded. Motion passed unanimously, 4-0. 6B. ALAMEDA LANDING TDM GOALS AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - FINAL PRESENTATION. Staff Bergman presented the staff report and noted that Catellus has revised the plan submitted previously based on the Commission's comments. Staff's additional comments were that the program relied exclusively on surveys, and recommended that some traffic counts be performed to bolster the survey data. Second, the trip reduction for the commercial retail portion was discussed only in terms of employees, and that trips associated with retail customers that contribute to congestion should be included. Staff agreed that the ITE trip generation rates should be used at the baseline to measure the reduction, but that some traffic counts should be conducted to help verify that those rates are valid for this particular site. The draft report indicates that the shuttle be provided at 30-minute headways, and staff would like to see a proposed route, with the possibility of providing more frequent service. Assuming that transit service is provided by AC Transit for the site, the TMA should consider reallocating all shuttle related expenses toward other TDM-related program elements, such as an Eco-Pass or other programs. There was also the discussion of the difficulty of ensuring the high resident response, and staff suggested that participation might be encouraged and enhanced by offering incentives such as completing the survey to receive the Eco-Pass. The cost of the AC Transit service was also discussed, given the available time in the route, which made the cost more competitive with a shuttle. AC Transit discussed examining the 19 line, as well as peak hour service-only on the 63. Staff Bergman noted that the TDM discussed what would be provided on "Day One", and staff had inquired how the number of bike racks based on demand would work. Staff also inquired about the phasing beyond day one. Staff suggested that the shuttle not be limited to Alameda Landing, and that the West End and Northern Waterfront be considered as well. Under Section 4.2 (Monitoring), the program endeavored to reach a 40% response rate, which was considered to be statistically significant, and inquired what confidence level that referred to. Under Section 4.3, staff requested clarification on the number of trips reduced. Page 4 of 11 | TransportationCommission/2007-03-28.pdf |
