• Reduce congestion and improve incident management
  
• Improve transportation mobility, efficiency and
  safety
• Improve transit service and encourage transit
  ridership
• Provide timely, multi-modal transportation
  information to transportation managers and to the
  public

5
Infrastructure Deployed

• 135 closed circuit TV (CCTV) to allow real-time
  monitoring
• 49 monitoring detection stations to provide
  real-time volume, speed and level of congestion
• 63 intersections equipped with video detection
  system and bicycle detection

Cross-Jurisdictional Systems

• Created a data and video exchange system to
  enable partner agencies to share information
• Cross-jurisdictional signal coordination enabled
• Roadway conditions and incident monitoring and
  reporting capabilities created
• Traffic volume and speed monitoring and archiving
  for planning purposes

The Goals of the East Bay SMART Corridors have
been realized!

• Project has developed an unparalleled partnership
  with agencies to address multi-modal issues in
  the East Bay
• Project has achieved between 15-20 reduction in
  delays as a result of improved signal
  coordination (based on before and after studies)
• AC Transit has realized an increase of 77 in
  ridership, which includes 19 mode shift from
  automobile use (as compared to the Limited line).
• Significant positive feedback from transit riders
  on the new service based on an independent
  evaluation study

11
The Goals of the East Bay SMART Corridors have
been realized!

• Fire Departments have realized reduction in
  response time and improvements in safety during
  incident response
• WestCAT has realized improvement in customer
  service and paratransit dispatch
• Public is receiving better information on mode
  and route selection using the web site, based on
  satisfaction surveys conducted by an independent
  evaluation team

12
Operations and Management (OM) Goals

• As a part of the project all operating agencies
  have signed a unified binding agreement for
  on-going OM of the system
• On-going operations and management is an
  essential to system performance and continued
  realization of the benefits of the program
• Since the East Bay SMART Corridors program is an
  integrated system, a unified approach to OM is
  required

13
Proposed OM Plan

• Local agencies and Caltrans will continue to fund
  and maintain the traffic control system and
  equipment
• Alameda County CMA to retain maintenance
  contractors, on the behalf of the agencies, to
  maintain the following components and services

• Transit Signal Priority equipment
• Closed Circuit TV (CCTV)
• Vehicle Monitoring equipment
• Central ATMS hardware and software
• Local area network and
• Pay utility and communication costs associated
  with the ATMS elements

14
OM Cost Components

• Operations
• Communications
• Utilities
• Central System operations and maintenance
• Local agency workstation maintenance
• Field Equipment Maintenance
• ATMS field Equipment
• Opticom Equipment for Rapid Bus
• Professional Services

15
OM Cost Plan

• Short Term
• Develop and implement a fair-share cost sharing
  plan between transit, regional and local agencies
• Mid Term
• Continue to apply and obtain federal funding
• ITS Earmark
• Long Term
• Utilize additional 1 vehicle registration fee to
  supplement funding

16
Proposed Short Term Cost Allocation

• AC Transit
• 75 of Opticom maintenance (25 local agencies)
• Fair share for ATMS network OM costs (AC
  Transits node)
• WestCAT
• AVL Wireless costs
• Remainder of the costs divided according to
• 1/3 Costs MTC
• 1/3 Costs ACCMA/CCTA
• 1/3 Costs Local Agencies
• ACCMA and CCTA - Based on mileage
