67. BART to ACE I Transportation/Traffic Project In October 2017 the Governor signed Assembly Bill 758 which created The Tri-Valley— San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority. This new authority has been created for the sole purpose of connecting Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)to Altamont Corridor Express (ACE). The Bill also transfers all unencumbered local funds allocated to the BART extension from BART to the Authority. This essentially gives all future planning control to the Authority. The purpose is to design and construct the rail system then turn it over to BART or ACE to operate. The authority is structured in a collaborative way with representatives from both sides of the Altamont. The Authority is comprised of the following entities: (1) City of Dublin; (2) City of Lathrop; (3) City of Livermore; (4) Town of Danville; (5) City of San Ramon; (6) City of Manteca; (7) City of Pleasanton; (8) City of Stockton; (9) City of Tracy; (10) Mountain House Community Services District; (11) County of Alameda; (12) County of San Joaquin; (13) Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority(LAVTA); (14) BART; and (15) San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission. The first task for the new Authority is to complete a project feasibility report, on or before July 1, 2019. This report will include: • Recommendations for expediting the development of cost-effective and responsive transit connectivity between BART's rapid transit system and the ACE commuter rail service in the Tri-Valley region. • Identification of a preferred entity or entities to deliver transit connectivity between the systems, including each entity's specified roles. • A funding plan describing any grants, loans, allocations, fund transfers, or awards of local, regional, state, federal, or private funds available for achieving transit connectivity. • A description of any financing plan including revenue sources, timelines for completing financing, and estimated total cost of financing. • A proposed schedule for the completion of transit connectivity. • A preliminary design for the project connectivity project including or the identification of right-of-way, routes, stations, equipment, and any other facilities necessary to achieve transit connectivity. • Status Under Review • Next Steps/Details: Hire consultant to produce feasibility report(March 2018) 68. 680 Northbound Express Transportation/Traffic Project Lane The 680 Northbound Express Lane project will construct a new 15-mile express lane from SR 237 in Milpitas to SR 84 in Sunol.
