SAN JOAQUIN REGIONAL RAIL COMMISSION SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN

Draft: August 2007

Final: September 2007

As a regional transit operator, the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) is required to prepare and update the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) every two years.

 

The SRTP is a guide for the development of the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) Service and potential acquisition of the ACE corridor, as well as expansion into other corridors over the next ten years.  The SRTP was developed through recommendations from the ACE Corridor Expansion Analysis and the SJRRC Service Expansion Analysis with the goal of increasing the overall system ridership through a series of projects aimed to improve on-time performance, streamline support functions, expand connectivity and improve the safety and security of the system.

NEW CAR PROCUREMENTS
Kick-off: April 2007

Expected Completion: March 2008

Based upon ridership trends, passenger feedback and proactively providing capacity prior to a crisis situation, 24 cars are required to effectively operate the ACE Service today. This allows for three 6-car trainsets, one 4-car trainset for the midday, and two cars rotating out for the required periodic maintenance and the required spare.  There are currently 20 rail cars on the property.
