BART – Rail Cars Program  BART’s fleet of 669 rail cars is one of the oldest in the United States and requires constant maintenance and repair. Rehabilitation and upgrade of BART’s rail cars in the late 1990s helped prolong the life of these essential vehicles, but they are now in need of replacement.
BART has embarked on a project to replace the existing fleet and eventually enlarge the fleet to 1,200 cars. The first ten train cars went into service January 2018 following safety and reliability testing, and regulatory approval. BART already has 775 new cars on order, with a goal to order 1,081 new cars. This will provide enough cars to run 10 car trains on all peak service into San Francisco, and will increase the number of seats in the fleet by 60%. The balance of new cars is expected to be delivered by spring 2022.
The funding for BART’s Rail Cars Program is approximately $493.2 million through FY2031. 
BART – Station Programs BART will repair and rehabilitate existing station assets and modernize stations, enhance and expand station access facilities, improve wayfinding and the customer experience, and improve capacity to accommodate more riders at the system’s busiest stations.
The funding for BART’s Station Programs is approximately $139.2 million through FY2031. 
BART – Traction Power BART trains run on electric power.

Construction of Phase II began in 2012 and is being delivered through the State of California’s first public-private-partnership. Golden Link Partners was selected to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the project for 30 years. In July 2015 the final roadway configuration was opened for public use. Work continues on related elements, including landscaping and will be completed in late 2016.

 

The SFCTA expects to spend $1.8 million to complete the Presidio Parkway project.

SFCTA – Treasure Island and I-80/ Yerba Buena Island Interchange and Mobility Projects

The SFCTA is working with the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) on the development of these projects. On the east side of the island, new westbound on- and off-ramps to the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge have been constructed, opened for use on October 22, 2016. On the west side of the island, existing bridge structures will be seismically retrofitted. This part of the project is scheduled to start construction in the spring of 2018 after the Caltrans Bay Bridge eastbound on-off ramps improvement project and TIDA’s Macalla Road reconstruction in order to avoid traffic circulation delays. These projects are scheduled to be completed by mid-2020.

 

These projects will cost approximately $96 million over the next 10 years.

SFCTA – Treasure Island Mobility Management Program

In its role as the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency, the SFCTA is responsible for implementing a comprehensive and integrated transportation program to manage travel demand on Treasure Island as the Treasure Island Redevelopment Project proceeds. The centerpiece of this effort is an integrated and multimodal congestion pricing demonstration program that applies motorist user fees to support enhanced bus, ferry, and shuttle transit, as well as bicycling options, to reduce the traffic impacts of the project. The capital elements to be funded by the Treasure Island Mobility Management Program include upfront capital cost of tolling infrastructure and ferry vessel purchase. Installation and testing of the tolling system is expected to start in FY2018. All work is timed to support new development on Treasure Island, with sales of the first 1,000 housing units expected in FY2020.

 

The Treasure Island Mobility Management Program will cost $61 million over the next 10 years.

SFCTA – Quint Street Bridge Replacement and Quint-Jerrold Connector Road

The existing Caltrain rail bridge over Quint Street is over 100 years old and in need of replacement. The Quint Street Bridge Replacement project will replace the rail bridge with a berm that will facilitate construction of a potential future Caltrain station at Oakdale Avenue. The SFCTA and Department of Public Works are working collaboratively on the Quint-Jerrold Connector Road Project, which will link Quint Street just north of Oakdale Avenue to Jerrold Avenue via a new road along the west side of the Caltrain tracks. The road will also support the potential new Caltrain Station at Oakdale Avenue and provide access to other nearby land uses.

 

The current cost estimate for the project is $13 million based on planning designs. The expected cost of this project is $9.7 million over the next 10 years.

Caltrain – Caltrain Electrification

In March 2012, the JPB entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the California High Speed Rail Authority to make strategic, early investments in the Peninsula Corridor that would allow Caltrain’s existing system to support high-speed rail services while enhancing Caltrain service. These improvements include corridor electrification and an advanced signal system. The electrification program, or Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) is the centerpiece of Caltrain’s proposed Capital Improvement Program to transform the system into a world-class commuter rail system connecting San Francisco and San Jose.

 

The total project cost for PCEP infrastructure is $1.3 billion, while the replacement of train-sets is estimated to cost $665 million. The cost of the signal system is $245 million. A mix of local, regional, state, and federal funding sources have been identified to cover the costs. At the local level, the JPB has agreed to contribute $180 million, to be split equally between the three member entities for both PCEP and the advanced signal system. The JPB Capital Improvement Program includes $60 million in San Francisco funding sources, with roughly $24 million from the Proposition K sales tax funds and an estimated $40 million from G.O. Bonds.

TJPA – Transbay Transit Center Phase 1

Phase 1 of this project entails the construction of the new multimodal Transbay Transit Center, which will serve train and bus commuters, local area office workers, and residents of the emerging Transbay neighborhood. The Transbay Transit Center is composed of four levels above-ground and two levels below and will contain active pedestrian, shopping, dining, and recreational areas. A bus ramp will connect the Bay Bridge to the elevated bus deck of the Transit Center for buses providing service across the Bay. A new bus storage facility, to be used primarily by AC Transit, will be constructed below the I-80 West approach to the Bay Bridge. The facility will also include AC Transit offices, storage, and restrooms. Construction of the Transit Center began in 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in 2017.

 

The total budget for Phase 1 is $2.2 billion, $274 million of which falls in the Plan’s timeframe. The project is funded through a combination of local, regional, state, and federal funds.

TJPA – Transbay Transit Center Phase 2

Phase 2 of the Transbay Transit Center will build the 1.95-mile DTX connection for Caltrain commuter and high-speed rail. The DTX will extend from the current Caltrain terminus at Fourth and King streets into the lower level of the new Transit Center. Phase 2 includes a new Caltrain station at Fourth and Townsend streets, an intercity bus facility to house Greyhound and Amtrak intercity bus service, and potentially a block-long pedestrian tunnel between the lower level of the Transit Center and the Embarcadero BART/Muni Metro station. Construction will begin once Phase 2 is fully funded.

 

The capital cost of Phase 2 is estimated at approximately $3.9 billion, nearly all of which falls in the Plan’s timeframe. It is funded through a mix of local, regional, state, and federal funds.

2022 - Transportation: Renewal Program

13. Transportation

Renewal Program

As all of the agencies covered in the Transportation chapter are either enterprise departments or external agencies, there are no General Fund expenditures expected for renewals. SFMTA, SFO, and Caltrain each has its own state of good repair and other various renewal programs, which are described by the agencies here.

SFMTA – Renewals

The SFMTA currently has approximately $15 billion worth of capital assets, including bike routes and lanes, traffic signals, subway infrastructure, stations, maintenance and operations facilities, taxi facilities, fixed guideway track, overhead wires, and parking garages. SFMTA has been tracking its capital planning efforts through its Asset Management Program, ensuring that current assets receive needed maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement. This effort is detailed in the SFMTA 2019 Transit Asset Management Plan. The SFMTA is also focusing on the renewal and modernization of its yards and facilities in its Building Progress Program.

SFO – Renewals

Passenger traffic has declined significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent restrictions on air travel.  However, the Airport remains an essential facility and as passengers continue to utilize the Airport, the facilities that support passenger travel must be maintained to high safety standards. The Airport considers renewals to be general repair and replacement of building systems and fixtures, such as a roof repair, that do not enhance the value or change the use of an asset. These projects typically have a small scope and are completed in less than a year. These projects are usually funded through the Airport’s annual operating budget, unlike capital improvements which are often multi-year projects financed with capital funds.

The cost of SFO’s renewal program is approximately $178.3 million through FY2031.

Caltrain – Renewals

Pursuant to the Joint Powers Agreement, each member of the Joint Powers Board is responsible for contributing a one-third share towards Caltrain’s local match for its capital projects that are designed to maintain Caltrain assets in a state of good repair. Examples of these projects include replacement of track, bridges, and various civil structures; rail vehicle overhaul and major component replacement; station rehabilitation; and signal and communication systems rehabilitation. Current projects in the City of San Francisco include the rehabilitation/replacement of the Marin Avenue and Napoleon Avenue rail bridges. Construction on this project is anticipated to be complete in late 2021.

The cost of Caltrain’s state of good repair program is estimated at $651.8 million through FY2031.

BART – Renewals

In November 2016, voters approved Measure RR which authorized BART to issue $3.5 billion in G.O. Bonds to fund projects throughout its system. The Bond was put to the voters in three counties: San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa. Its projects include replacement of 90 miles of track, renewal of mechanical infrastructure, repair of tunnels and stations, and many other initiatives that will modernize the BART system. The result of the Bond’s program will be shorter wait times, fewer delays, and more comfortable rides for passengers.
