TVTC 2009 Strategic Expenditure Plan Update <br /> Updated Project Descriptions August 4, 2009 <br /> decorative concrete paving and trash and recycle receptacles. These improvements would <br /> enhance the passenger experience and potentially attract more riders. The total cost for the bus <br /> stop improvements is $5,400,000. <br /> 2. Addition of More Bus Queue Jump Lanes With initial deployment of the RAPID and the <br /> Pleasanton Speed and Efficiency Alignment, improvements are being completed at three <br /> intersections to provide a bus queue jump lane. Phase 2 would install improvements at up to an <br /> additional 11 locations: 5 in Pleasanton along the Pleasanton Speed and Efficiency Alignment, 4 <br /> in Livermore along the RAPID route, and 2 in Dublin along the RAPID route. Providing queue <br /> jump lanes allows for buses to pass through these intersections quicker. The total cost of the bus <br /> queue jump improvements is $9,740,000. <br /> 3. Construction of Park and Ride Lots Two sites have been identified, one on Livermore and <br /> one in Pleasanton, as potential future park- and -ride lots. Further study and coordination with <br /> each agency is still required. The estimated cost for land acquisition and construction of both <br /> lots is $1,300,000. <br /> 4. Installation of Off -Board Fare Collection Equipment at RAPID Stops Off -board fare <br /> collection systems provide for faster boarding times, an improved customer experience, and <br /> enhanced service branding. Four locations along the RAPID route have been identified as <br /> candidate locations for the installation of such a system, including the Livermore Transit <br /> Center, Downtown Livermore, East Dublin /Pleasanton BART, and Downtown Dublin /West <br /> Dublin BART. The total cost to install the system at four locations is $140,000 (with annual <br /> operations and maintenance around $87,000). <br /> Alternatively, installing the off -board fare collection system at all RAPID and Pleasanton Speed <br /> and Efficiency Alignment bus stops would cost $1,900,000. <br /> Status: <br /> Construction of initial RAPID improvements is expected to be completed in 2010, and is fully <br /> funded. <br /> Phasing and Schedule: <br /> Phase 2, to include Pleasanton Speed and Efficiency Alignment "Rapidization" and additional <br /> improvements along the RAPID route, is in the planning stage with actual scope, schedule, cost <br /> and funding unknown at this time. <br /> Cost Estimates and Funding Sources: <br /> Cost (Millions, 2009) (Sum of above -cited costs for items 1 -4) $18:4 <br /> Funding (Millions, 2009) <br /> Total Funding Millibns, 2009): $0.0 <br /> Funding Shortfall (Millions, 2009) $18.4 <br /> Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc.
