SAN JOAQUIN REGIONAL RAIL COMMISSION SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN

Draft: August 2007

Final: September 2007

Effective Dates: September 2007 - September 2009

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.

ROBERT J. CABRAL STATION NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PLAN
Kick-off: Spring 2005

Expected Completion: Phase I Completed by August 2008

 

Demolition is underway on the Bockman & Woody facility across from the Cabral station.  Once completed, Phase II of constructing the new parking structure and clock tower will begin.  Phase II is expected to be complete in the Spring of 2009.

 

With a combination of circulation improvements, street improvements, residential infill projects, and selective redevelopment projects, it is envisioned that the Cabral Station Neighborhood may become a dense, viable, mixed-income neighborhood that can provide a number of civic, retail, and open space amenities for its residents, in close proximity to the Central Business District and connected to the greater Bar Area by the ACE commuter train service.

SJRRC Title VI Program

The material contained in San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission Title VI Compliance Program provides information and analysis bearing upon compliance with the Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts regarding transit services and related benefit. The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) staff prepared the document in response to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1 (5/26/88), entitled: Title VI Program Guidelines for Urban Mass Transportation Administration Recipients.

 Since 1972, the FTA has required applicants for and recipients of federal assistance to provide assessments of compliance as part of the grant approval process. The FTA has the responsibility to ensure that federally supported transit service and related benefits are distributed in a manner consistent with Title VI. The employment practices of a grant applicant or recipient are also covered under Title VI.

 It is SJRRC’s responsibility to ensure that all transit service, and access to its facilities is equitably distributed and provided without regard to race, color, or national origin. It is also the goal of SJRRC to ensure equal opportunities to all persons without regard to race, color, or national origin to participate in all local, sub-regional and regional transit planning and decision-making processes under the Commission’s control.
