1. CCJPA FY 19-20 Budget – Operations, Administration, Marketing, Supplemental. Mr. Robert Padgette presented the item, highlighting an award received from the State on July 31, 2019 that reflects the information submitted by the CCJPA as part of the April Business Plan. Mr. Padgette also noted that the only change to the submission in April is a change in the amount dedicated to Wi-Fi services. Mr. Padgette explained that CCJPA manages the Wi-Fi services for the CCJPA’s cars and the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority’s cars. He further indicated that there was in an intention to manage the Wi-Fi services for the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency’s cars as well, but the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency will continue to utilize Amtrak for Wi-Fi services because the cars are owned by Amtrak. He noted that the modification in the budget reflects the shift in Wi-Fi management for the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency’s cars from CCJPA’s budget to LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency’s budget. He explained that other than this modification, the budget information is the same information submitted in April. Mr. Padgette repeated a summary of his comments for those who were unable to hear his initial presentation. Vice Chair Saylor invited questions or comments from the Board. No comments were received.

the CCJPA approves the Agreement with Amtrak to operate CCJPA’s service. He generally described the Agreement, which includes the CCJPA’s expectations for service levels, reporting requirements, penalties, and incentives. He explained that the present Agreement is largely the same as the Agreement that was approved last year. He indicated that the coverage period for the present Agreement is from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Mr. Padgette explained that the only notable changes contained in the present Agreement are an added expectation that requires Amtrak to support CCJPA in using the California Integrated Travel Program, potentially for ticketing, if CCJPA pursues this effort in the next year; the addition of a single car to train 544, which has increased in use over the last several months; and updated data reporting requirements to improve CCJPA’s ability to oversee the service. Mr. Padgette indicated that, other than these changes, the Agreement is largely the same as the Agreement approved last year. Mr. Padgette noted that the CCJPA has been working with Amtrak over the last several months to finalize the Agreement, and that there may be a few minor changes, but the present Agreement is largely reflective of what they intend to execute.

Mr. Padgette noted the significance of SB 742, which will allow the CCJPA to improve customer service and take advantage of service that is already on the street. Vice Chair Saylor asked whether the CCJPA will send letters to the Governor’s Office regarding AB 752 and SB 742. Mr. Padgette responded that staff can send letters regarding AB 752 and SB 742 to the Governor’s Office, if the CCJPA Board so desires. Vice Chair Saylor expressed that he expected that the CCJPA Board would support sending letters to the Governor’s Office regarding AB 752 and SB 742. Vice Chair Saylor indicated that the CCJPA Board supported the bills in the process and that the Board should continue to offer support for the bills. The item was discussed.

Based on the FY 20 allocation letter from CalSTA to the CCJPA for its FY 20 budget, the operations/Amtrak FY 20 budget will be $28,174,000 to support the CCJPA/Amtrak FY 20 Operating Agreement. RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the execution of the FY 20 CCJPA/Amtrak Operating Agreement with a contract amount not-to-exceed $28,174,000. Motion: The CCJPA Board adopts the attached resolution.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority Board DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Robert Padgette Managing Director SUBJECT: DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID STORAGE AND DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR THE

OAKLAND MAINTENANCE FACILITY

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to approve the budget for the design of a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) storage and dispensing system to be installed at the Oakland Maintenance Facility. BACKGROUND Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used during the operation of the new Charger locomotives currently in service on the Capitol Corridor route. The DEF is currently added to the tanks of the Charger locomotives during refueling and servicing at the Oakland Maintenance Facility using a temporary system of tanks, pumps and hoses. This temporary system is currently functional but needs to be upgraded in order to properly service locomotives at this facility and to provide a permanent system at this site. The CCJPA has been pursuing the design of a DEF storage and dispensing system to be installed at the Oakland Maintenance Facility (the “Project”). The previously identified budget for this work was $85,000 funded by FY16 Capitol Corridor Reinvestment Program (CCRP) funds, below the threshold required for CCJPA Board approval. Work of this design has identified a revised budget need for the design of the project of $150,000. Capitol Corridor staff has identified funding for the expected Project costs: Funding Source Budget FY16 Capitol Corridor Reinvestment Program (CCRP) $85,000 Revenue Above Budget (RAB) $65,000 Total Project Budget $150,000

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board approve a budget of not-to-exceed $150,000 to implement the Project and authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or his designee to execute all necessary and appropriate actions for the implementation of the Project. Motion: The CCJPA Board adopts the attached resolution.

WHEREAS, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used during the operation of the new Charger locomotives

currently in service on the Capitol Corridor route; and

WHEREAS, replacement of the existing temporary storage and dispensing system is needed to continue servicing the locomotives at the Oakland Maintenance Facility; and

WHEREAS, the CCJPA embarked on design of a permanent DEF storage and dispensing system for the

Oakland Maintenance Facility (the “Project”) with a current budget of $85,000; and

WHEREAS, the total Project cost is now expected to be $150,000; and

WHEREAS, the CCJPA has identified $85,000 of FY16 Capitol Corridor Reinvestment Program (CCRP) funds and $65,000 of Revenue Above Budget (RAB) funds that can be used to complete this Project; and therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the CCJPA Board does hereby approve the revised Project budget for an amount not to

exceed $150,000; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the CCJPA Board hereby authorizes the CCJPA Executive

Director or his designee to execute all necessary and appropriate actions for the implementation of the Project;

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority Board DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Robert Padgette, Managing Director SUBJECT: BUDGET UPDATE FOR CALIFORNIA PASSENGER INFORMATION DISPLAY

SYSTEM (PIDS) MODERNIZATION

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to approve an updated budget for the California Passenger Information Display System (PIDS) modernization project (“the Project”). BACKGROUND California PIDS provides train status and service updates to customers at stations for the three Intercity Passenger Rail services and Altamont Corridor Express (ACE). The existing PIDS was first designed and implemented in the early 2000’s, and the technology used then (both hardware and software) is reaching end of life. CCJPA received $1.1 million State Rail Assistance (SRA) funds in early 2018 to support a California PIDS modernization project. Since then, CCJPA staff have worked with other partner rail agencies such as San Joaquin JPA and San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission to conduct a competitive procurement process for a modernized California PIDS that will serve Capitol Corridor, San Joaquins, ACE, and potentially other passenger rail services in Southern California (e.g. Pacific Surfliner, North County Transit District). The modernized PIDS is being procured under a service-based model where capital and operating costs are amortized over five (5) years to keep pace with technology upgrades and to establish stable annual project budgeting. The new California PIDS Master Services Agreement (MSA) will be a Work Directive-based contract. The scope of the MSA includes the design, testing, and maintenance of PIDS for Capitol Corridor, San Joaquins, ACE, and potentially other rail services in California. There is a need to update the Project budget so that the MSA can be executed. The original Project budget was established as $1,110,529 per Resolution 18-9. The updated five-year budget estimate for the Project MSA is up to $8.5 million. Work Directives under the MSA will be issued only as funding is secured. The cost estimate for the first Work Directive under the MSA, which includes project kick-off and design of PIDS, is $1.2 million which will be fully funded by the CCJPA SRA allocation secured in 2018 and contributions from San Joaquin JPA and San Joaquin Regional Rail Authority. While the PIDS design work progresses, CCJPA staff will work with partner rail agencies to identify additional funding to support future Work Directives under the MSA. RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board approve a not-to-exceed budget of $8.5 million to implement the Project and authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or his designee, pending secured funding for each Work Directive, to execute all necessary and appropriate actions for the implementation of the Project.

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) Board DATE: November 15, 2019 FROM: Rob Padgette, Managing Director SUBJECT: CAPITOL CORRIDOR ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT (FY 2019) PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to review, comment, and adopt the draft Capitol Corridor Annual Performance Report for the reporting period of Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (October 2018 through September 2019). BACKGROUND As part of its outreach plan, CCJPA produces an annual performance report that presents the basic information regarding how the public investment in the Capitol Corridor is being managed and what the resulting service quality and quantity is, as measured by standard business performance indicators. For FY 2019 the service performance for the Capitol Corridor continued its strong performance for ridership, revenue and efficiency (System Operating Ratio). • Capitol Corridor finished as follows for FY 2019: annual ridership (1.77M passengers; +4.1% vs FY 18),

revenues ($38.0M; +4.7% vs FY 18), and System Operating Ratio (60%; +2.3% vs. FY 18). • At 89%, End-Point On-Time-Performance (OTP) fell just below the target of 90% with promising reductions in

Positive Train Control (PTC) delays. • The rating for Customer Satisfaction was 90% Highly Satisfied. This year’s annual report (a draft will be sent under separate cover) will be similar to last years’ short format, with an emphasis on infographics and focus on notable service statistics, as well as overall performance in FY 2019. CCJPA staff will also prepare a companion mobile site to present the information and engage readers across more channels. The CCJPA Board Directors and staff can then use the report to raise the awareness of and present the success of the Capitol Corridor Service to interested parties – elected officials, local communities, chambers of commerce. Staff is pursuing an aggressive timeline for the completion of the final print version of the Annual Performance Report in order to make it available during the start of the new California Legislative Session in mid-January 2020. Comments from the CCJPA Board will be incorporated into a final version. In addition to the Legislature, the document will be used in presentations to local community leaders and other interested parties that are or may be involved in partnership with the CCJPA. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the CCJPA Board approve and adopt, as revised in conjunction with comments from the CCJPA Board, the Capitol Corridor Annual Performance Report (FY 2019).

Motion: The CCJPA Board adopts the attached resolution.

Item V.2

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________

MEMORANDUM

TO: CCJPA Board of Directors (CCJPB) DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Mike Luken, Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) Staff to the CCJPA Ad Hoc Subcommittee SUBJECT: SELECTION OF CCJPA MANAGING AGENCY (5-YEAR TERM EFFECTIVE

FEBRUARY 20, 2020) PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to select San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) as the Managing Agency for the CCJPA and to extend the Administrative Support Agreement (ASA) with BART for a five -year term from February 2020 through February 2025. BACKGROUND BART has provided administrative and staff support to the CCJPA since its establishment in 1996, first under the enabling legislation SB 457, and subsequently under a series of ASAs adopted over the years. In recognition of the success of the model, the enabling legislation was amended in 2005 to extend the ASA term from three to five years and has been reflected in ASAs adopted by the Board since then. The current ASA was adopted by the Board in November 2014, covers the five years starting in February 2015 and is set to expire in February 2020. With the pending end of BART’s term as the Managing Agency to the CCJPA, the Board established the Ad Hoc Subcommittee for the CCJPA Managing Agency Selection under Resolution 19-23. Ad Hoc Subcommittee Members have discussed the various scenarios of an agency that is best suited to perform the management and administrative duties to the CCJPA. After deliberation, the Ad Hoc Subcommittee feels that preparation and publication of a request for proposals, a mechanism commonly used to select providers of professional services in similar situations, would not be productive in this case for several reasons, including the following: 1. The Ad Hoc Subcommittee members could not identify any existing public rail transit agency, which has

performed the administrative functions for an intercity rail service other than BART. 2. None of the Ad Hoc Subcommittee members knew of any such agency which has expressed any interest in

submitting a proposal for such work. 3. Any such request for proposals would have to reveal that, similar to BART’s role as administrator to the

CCJPA, compensation for any proposer’s services is not guaranteed, is solely at the annual discretion of the California legislature, and that any provider would take on the potential risk of being underpaid, or not paid at all, for its services.

4. The legislative grant of authority to the CCJPB to select a successor agency (a) already contains a specific

authorization to allow selection of BART as the successor provider of administrative services, and (b) gives broad latitude to the CCJPB in the methods used to select such a successor by providing that the Board may make such decision “ . . . through procedures that it determines.”

18

More importantly, BART continues to do an excellent job in providing the administrative support needed for the operations of the CCJPA, at a very reasonable price. In fact, CCJPA Former Managing Director Kutrosky was able to reduce the negotiated overhead rate over the course of the last ASA from 38% in 2010 to 16.5% in 2014, while still providing all the support needed for efficient operations. The current ASA is projected to continue the overhead costs at the current 21.23% rate. Accordingly, the Ad Hoc Subcommittee is recommending, based on the continuing success of the service performance as well as the beneficial, cooperative relationship between BART and the CCJPA member agencies, that BART be reappointed to provide administrative support to the CCJPB for another five-year term as provided for by the amended statute. Ad Hoc Subcommittee members recommend that two items should be added to the ASA reflecting the Board’s ongoing priority to place great emphasis on customer service and to improve coordination between BART and the CCJPA Board. Those items include:

1. Modification of ASA Section 1 MANAGING AGENCY (xii) to read as follows: (xii) Recommend changes in scheduling, customer service improvement plans and levels of service to the CCJPA;

2. Addition of ASA Section 3-STAFF OF MANAGING AGENCY/CCJPA (v) to read as follows: (v) The General Manager of the Managing Agency, serving as the Executive Director of the CCJPA shall consult with the Board of the CCJPA when selecting the CCJPA Managing Director position or equivalent role.

RECOMMENDATION The Ad Hoc Subcommittee recommends that the CCJPB extend the Administrative Services Agreement (ASA) with the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) for a five-year term, effective February 2020 and continuing through February 2025 with sections modified/added above. Motion: The CCJPB adopts the attached resolution.

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________ MEMORANDUM TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Rob Padgette, Managing Director, CCJPA SUBJECT: FY 20 TRANSIT INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL PROGRAM (TIRCP) APPLICATION AUTHORIZATION PURPOSE: For the CCJPA Board to approve the CCJPA staff to support an application with identified partners for funding grants based on the SB 1 state funding sources BACKGROUND SB1 Fund Sources: In April 2017, the Legislature enacted, and the Governor signed into law, Senate Bill 1 (Beall, Chapter 5) to fund transportation improvements. CCJPA can directly apply for is Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TICRP) funds, an element of SB1. CCJPA has been a successful recipient of prior TIRCP cycles in the past and is implementing projects funded pursuant to the respective TIRCP grant awards. Key goals of the program are to expand and improve rail service to increase ridership and integrate the rail service of the state’s various rail operations, including high-speed rail. Funding under the TIRCP program is for a programming period of five (5) years. The TIRCP applications are due by January 16, 2018. The new capacity available for TIRPC Cycle 4 is currently estimated at $450-500 million but may change based on auction proceeds and cash flow requirements of already awarded projects between now and the anticipated April 2020 award announcement. For the Cycle 4 TIRCP funding applications, CCJPA is working with station partners to support improvements that will increase Capitol Corridor ridership and enhance transit and bicycle access improvements. The project below is still in development at this time.

1. Sacramento Valley Station Phase 3 Bus-Mobility Center and Transit Coordination Improvements: Project includes a variety of critical Phase III Sacramento Valley Station elements that synergistically program all known modes of transportation access according to the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan consistent with State Rail Plan integration objectives. These integrations focus on the access point to the existing passenger rail platforms and includes re-alignments that significantly increase the intermodal connections between bus transit and intercity passenger rail. Included in the improvements are the following programmed elements:

• Bus mobility center with top-up electric charging • Light rail station platform • Bicycle trails through the station and to the

platform access point • Bicycle storage facilities

• Micromobility curbside service • TNC pickup/drop off (transitional to automated vehicles)

• Electric vehicle charging & parking • Walkable and protected plaza from Historic Station to platform access point

• Sacramento RT roadside bus stops • Interstate 5 on-ramp redesign for more direct transit vehicle access to SVS

• Remote electric charging and hydrogen fueling layover vehicle

• Opening to the north side of the SVS station to the Railyards development

21

• Sacramento area regional commuter bus service re-routing to serve SVS station

• Relocation of various micro-mobility sharing facilities

Taken together these improvements being coordinated via one TIRCP application are complex and involve the extensive coordination of various agencies providing transit service in the Sacramento Area. CCJPA will support a TIRCP application to be submitted by the City of Sacramento.

Staff is seeking authority from the CCJPA Board to support the application for the projects mentioned above. More project development is required, and staff will continue to provide updates to the CCJPA Board as details are known. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the CCJPA Board give authorization for CCJPA Executive Director or her designee to support the application as described above for the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program. Motion: The CCJPB adopts the attached resolution.

Item V.4

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority Board DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Robert Padgette Managing Director SUBJECT: PROJECT AND BUDGET UPDATE:

DAVIS CROSSOVER AND SIGNAL REPLACEMENT PROJECT

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to approve a revised scope and budget for the replacement of the crossovers and railroad signal system near the Davis Capitol Corridor station. BACKGROUND The CCJPA Board, through Resolutions 19-09 (June 19, 2019) and 19-19 (September 18, 2019) authorized the use of a variety of fund sources to improve the railroad signal system at Davis CA (the “Project”). These Resolutions authorized a total budget of $2,150,000 for the Project. This Project is considered critical due to the age of the existing signal infrastructure and the difficulty of obtaining spare parts. A failure of the existing signal system at this location would likely have a serious effect on the on-time performance of the Capitol Corridor service. The Capitol Corridor is actively working with Union Pacific to complete this work and resolve this issue. Since these Resolutions were adopted, Amtrak has proposed a project to improve the ADA accessibility at the Davis boarding platforms. This project, in the early stages of development at this time, would involve revising the track alignment at the Davis station in order to construct a single island platform with grade separated pedestrian access. This is the platform configuration used today at the San Jose, Richmond, Fairfield-Vacaville and Sacramento stations and meets a critical aspect of the CCJPA Station Policy. The current configuration of the Davis boarding platform sometimes requires passengers to cross the active main line track in order to reach their train. This is a significant safety risk recognized by the CCJPA Station Policy and is mitigated by the “Hold-Out Rule.” This Rule requires all other trains to wait outside the station (“hold out”) while a passenger train is boarding. This results in substantial reduction in the railroad’s capacity due to the interruption in the train operations. In addition to resolving the ADA accessibility issue for boarding passengers, this project would also increase passenger safety by eliminating the need to cross the main line tracks and would resolve the operational restrictions related to the “Hold-Out Rule” thus improving the railroad’s capacity and fluidity. While the design of the future track layout to support the platform changes at Davis has not yet been completed, it is certain that construction of a center island platform between the two main tracks will require relocation of the crossovers just east of the station. Relocating the crossovers would therefore require repeating the signal work currently proposed for this same location, at a significant increase in that future project’s cost. The logical way to proceed, then, would be to advance the crossover relocation and include it in the current signal Project. This will result in significant cost savings to the boarding platform project and avoid repeating a major investment in infrastructure.

24

Relocation of the crossovers also has independent utility. The current crossovers at this location are an old design that requires trains to slow to 10 mph when crossing over from one main track to the other. Replacement of the crossovers will allow an increase of the speeds to 30 mph, matching the speeds of other crossovers nearby. Furthermore, the newer design crossovers will reduce maintenance needs, so that Capitol Corridor trains will be less likely to be slowed at this point for maintenance reasons. All of this will help with on-time reliability for Capitol Corridor trains. The total Project budget for crossover and signal replacement is expected to be $7,300,000. Knowing that replacement of the crossovers east of the Davis Station will be important to the boarding platform project, Amtrak has offered to contribute $1,000,000 in State of Good Repair (SOGR) funds so that it can be done in conjunction with the current signal replacement project. Through a cost sharing agreement, Union Pacific Railroad has offered to contribute $2,150,000. Capitol Corridor staff has identified an additional $2,000,000 of Revenue Above Budget (RAB) funds that can be used to complete the Project. To complete the Project, the Capitol Corridor would need to contribute a total of $4,150,000 as detailed in the following table. Funding Source CCJPA

Total Project Budget $7,300,000 RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board approve a revised budget of not-to-exceed $4,150,000 to implement the Project and authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or his designee to execute all necessary and appropriate actions for the implementation of the Project.

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________ MEMORANDUM TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Rob Padgette, Managing Director, CCJPA SUBJECT: PLACER SACRAMENTO GATEWAY PLAN: CONGESTED CORRIDOR PLAN PURPOSE: To provide the CCJPA Board with information about the Congested Corridor Plan involving the Placer-Sacramento Corridor and to authorize CCJPA staff participation in partner funding applications for the Solutions for Congested Corridor Program (SCCP). BACKGROUND In April 2017, the Legislature enacted, and the Governor signed into law, Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5). SCCP is only eligible to be applied for by a regional transportation planning agency, county transportation commission, or authority responsible for preparing a regional transportation improvement plan under Section 14527 of the Government Code. Caltrans may also nominate projects for funding. The SCCP is a statewide, competitive funding program with $250 million available annually for projects that implement specific transportation performance improvements and are part of a comprehensive corridor plan. SB 1 requires preference to be given to plans that demonstrate collaboration between Caltrans and local or regional partners. Eligible project elements within the corridor plans may include improvements to state highways, local streets and roads, rail facilities, public transit facilities, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and restoration or preservation work that protects critical local habitat or open space. Capacity increasing projects on the state highway system are restricted to high-occupancy vehicle lanes, managed lanes, and other non-general purpose lane improvements for safety and/or operational improvements. In 2018 a first cycle of funding was awarded to construction ready projects. In March of 2020, Cycle 2 SCCP funding will be available. All SCCP funding applications may only be for construction unless part of a design/build project and require a fully funded plan. The Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) has been leading the effort to develop the Placer Sacramento Gateway Plan following the required coordinated and comprehensive planning Congested Corridor Plan (PSGP). Support is being provided by CCJPA, in coordination with Caltrans and various city and transportation partners. This PSGP through extensive community involvement has identified a series of corridor eligible projects, including CCJPA’s Sacramento to Roseville Third Mainline Track (SR3T) Phases One and Two. CCJPA in cooperation with PCTPA is participating to ensure readiness for any future cycle of SCCP funding for later SR3T phases. RECOMMENDATION For information and discussion.

BACKGROUND The following is a report on recently completed work:

a. Safety Train – Operation Rail Safe Event - On Tuesday, September 24, the Capitol Corridor joined

California Operation Lifesaver (CAOL), Amtrak, Union Pacific, the City of Berkeley, and local law enforcement for Operation Clear Track, an event to raise awareness about rail safety. After a Proclamation delivered by the City of Berkeley’s Vice Mayor, Susan Wengraff, as well as remarks from our Managing Director, Rob Padgette, and CAOL Executive Director, Nancy Sheehan, rail officials and members of the media from SF Chronicle, Fox TV KTVU, and KCBS, boarded a special “safety train” to demonstrate enforcement exercises at rail crossings between Richmond and Emeryville.

b. Richmond Right-of-Way Clean-Up –The Union Pacific Railroad and Capitol Corridor have partnered with

San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to remove encampments, illegal dumping, vegetation and trees adjacent to BART’s Richmond Yard. The location of this cleanup is north of the Richmond Station and spans for ¾ of a mile. Fencing was installed behind the BART Richmond Yard Tower to provide additional security.

c. Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Station Renaming and Dedication - On Friday, September 27, officials,

members of the public, and the Thomas Hannigan family gathered to celebrate the official renaming of the station to the “Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Station.” Capitol Corridor joined the cities of Fairfield and Vacaville, as well as Solano Transportation Authority, to honor the late Thomas Hannigan, the visionary who was instrumental in making the Capitol Corridor a reality. Jim Spering, CCJPA Director and Solano County Supervisor, District 3, was the Master of Ceremonies. Former Managing Director, David Kutrosky, spoke about the Capitol Corridor's history and the important role Tom had in making this vital rail service a reality.

d. Relocation of Transbay Terminal Bus Stop - Our Transbay Temporary Terminal Bus Stop relocated to the

Salesforce Plaza. On Monday, October 28, 2019, we commenced servicing the Salesforce Transit Center at a new on-street, unstaffed, bus stop next to Salesforce Plaza, at the corner of Mission and Fremont streets in downtown San Francisco. The Salesforce Plaza stop (SFC) connects with our three other on-street and heavily-used San Francisco bus stops. The Transbay Temporary Terminal will close soon after our move.

CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY __________

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) Board DATE: November 12, 2019 FROM: Robert Padgette, Managing Director SUBJECT: WORK IN PROGRESS (November 20, 2019 Meeting) PURPOSE To provide an update on work in progress up to the November 20, 2019 CCJPA Board meeting. BACKGROUND The following is a report on work efforts currently underway:

a. Onboard Wi-Fi - The existing Northern California passenger rail (legacy) fleet is now in the design phase for its planned next generation Wi-Fi system upgrade from the initial 2011 installation. As well, the new Siemens cars are soon to also enter the design phase. As scheduled, the first prototype legacy train is expected in February 2020, and presuming all goes well, the remainder of the fleet will be upgraded in the months that follow. The upgraded Wi-Fi system will get a new landing and authentication page. Oversight services are also under contract resulting in improved system function, more up-time, and skilled diagnostic reporting and issue resolution. This should continue to improve as the next generation system comes online as the reporting/monitoring tools with the next generation system are superior to the originally installed system.

b. California Passenger Information Display System (CalPIDS) Modernization – The Master Services Agreement with the selected consultant is expected to be executed by mid-November, and project kick-off is expected shortly after. CCJPA staff have been working with AT&T to scope the telecommunications improvements needed at Capitol Corridor stations to support CalPIDS.

c. Renewable Diesel Pilot Program – Phase 2 – The Renewable Diesel (RD) Pilot Program – Phase 2 commenced the testing of renewable fuel on a Charger locomotive and will continue for the next year. If testing results in expected performance, the CCJPA will work with Amtrak to switch all fuel used on the Capitol Corridor route to cleaner burning renewable diesel. Renewable diesel has proven to reduce greenhouse gasses by 80%, soot by 33%, and NOX by 12% as compared to petroleum diesel.

d. South Bay Connect (Oakland to San Jose Phase 2A) – The project is at the end of the project definition phase, in which the project is validated and defined in preparation for the start of the environmental process in early 2020. A Project Definition Report has been completed, and three Project Development Team meetings have been hosted to gather key stakeholder input during the project definition phase.

e. Alviso Wetland Railroad Adaptation Alternatives Study – All stakeholder meetings have concluded for this

project and adaptation alternatives finalized. A draft final report is being reviewed by CCJPA staff.

f. Procurement of Door Panels for NorCal Surfliner Rail Cars – CCJPA staff is working with BART Procurement to finalize the contract with the selected vendor.

g. Upcoming Marketing and Communications Activities –

● Advertising, Promotions, and Offers: - Developing new ad campaign, integrating partnerships and social media in the strategy

35

- Promoting the rest of the NFL season and adjusted service for games ● Print and Digital Communications:

- FY19 Annual Performance Report ● Public Relations, Events, Outreach, and Customer Service:

- Thanksgiving Outreach for holiday travelers; outreach to colleges for student travel - Promoting availability of Weekend Service Alerts, re-engaging with our subscribers

Item V.1

CCJPA Annual Performance Report – 2019 DRAFT content Overview This year, staff proposes to continue the infographic-based style for the Annual Performance Report, based upon the positive response to last year’s larger fold-out format, and companion “Fast Facts” section. Presenting our data in infographics allows us to better highlight our achievements from the past year in a visually-appealing and contemporary format, that facilitates sharing across mediums, and better capture the attention of readers. The standard KPI data shown in the charts below will remain in this year’s report, though the visual style and presentation may differ for select charts as we develop the final publication. In addition to the KPI’s, this format allows us to feature additional information about Capitol Corridor customers, ridership trends, and impact of projects on service performance. As we did last year, the FY19 Performance Report will be printed in a newspaper-style format, which will allow for larger graphics. Overall Performance Summary

Item V.8

Date: November 15, 2019

From: Robert Padgette

To: CCJPA Board of Directors

Subject: Managing Director’s Report – November 2019

Service Performance Overview Kicking off Fiscal Year 20 (FY 20), the Capitol Corridor carried 162,476 passengers in October 2019, consistent with October 2018. Average weekday ridership increased by 2% and average weekend ridership decreased by 4% as compared to October 2018. (There was one less NFL game in October 2019.) Revenue for October 2019 was $3,291,038, a slight increase over October 2018. The System Operating Ratio for the month was 58%. End-point and Passenger On-Time Performance (OTP) were both lower than the 90% standard due in large part to several trespasser incidents, impacts from area fires, and signal delays due to the Public Safety Power Shutdown events during the month. Customer Satisfaction scores are not yet available for October 2019.

State and Federal Legislation and Funding/Regulatory Action Proposed Federal FY 20 Budget On May 22, 2019, the House Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Subcommittee marked up its spending plan which includes the various accounts for Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) services (see table). The Senate THUD Subcommittee approved recommendations for FY 20 on September 17, 2019 as shown below. The Federal budget for FY 20 remains under a continuing resolution that continues through November 21, 2019.

Rail System Safety Rule On June 11, 2019, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would make changes to the Rail System Safety Rule and expand the definition of railroads to include states that act as a financial sponsor of service. As such, these states would bear the responsibility for the development of a System Safety Plan. CCJPA submitted comments on August 12, 2019, jointly with Indiana Department of Transportation, the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, and the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) outlining our concerns about this proposed change. CCJPA also supported a submission of comments by the States for Passenger Rail Coalition (SPRC) to coordinate our efforts with other sponsors of rail service. We are now awaiting a final rulemaking from the FRA. Updates

• Our Transbay Temporary Terminal Bus Stop relocated to the Salesforce Plaza. On Monday, October

28, 2019, we commenced servicing the Salesforce Transit Center at a new on-street, unstaffed, bus stop next to Salesforce Plaza, at the corner of Mission and Fremont streets in downtown San Francisco. The Salesforce Plaza stop (SFC) connects with our three other on-street and heavily-used San Francisco bus stops. The Transbay Temporary Terminal will close soon after our move. A new bus schedule also went into effect on October 28.

• Capitol Corridor was able to maintain uninterrupted service through multiple Public Safety Power

Shutoff (PSPS) events that affected portions of our service area thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our partners at Union Pacific (UP). Although all of our signal systems and railroad crossings maintain battery backups for short term power outages, the extended duration of these events require generators to ensure that operation continues uninterrupted. Though only a few specific locations lost power during these events, UP prepared for a wider outage given the uncertainty of where outages would occur. We extend our sincere appreciation to UP. On Sunday, October 27 when there were multiple PSPS events and fires that limited freeway access, we safely carried in excess of 600 passengers to/from the San Francisco 49ers football game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

• On Tuesday, September 24, the Capitol Corridor joined California Operation Lifesaver (CAOL), Amtrak, Union Pacific, the City of Berkeley, and local law enforcement for Operation Clear Track, an event to raise awareness about rail safety. After a Proclamation delivered by the City of Berkeley’s Vice Mayor, Susan Wengraff, as well as remarks from our Managing Director, Rob Padgette, and CAOL Executive Director, Nancy Sheehan, rail officials and members of the media from SF Chronicle, Fox TV KTVU, and KCBS, boarded a special “safety train” to demonstrate enforcement exercises at rail crossings between Richmond and Emeryville.

• As a part of our ongoing effort to maintain a safe and clear railroad right-of-way, the Union Pacific

Railroad and Capitol Corridor partnered with San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) on a multi-day effort to remove encampments, illegal dumping, and vegetation adjacent to BART’s Richmond Yard. The area of this cleanup is located to the north of the Richmond Station, extended for nearly a mile in length and resulted in excess of fifteen tons of debris removal. Fencing was installed behind the BART Richmond Yard Tower to provide additional security in this location.

• On November 4th, we welcomed our newest team member, Leo Sanchez, as the CCJPA’s new Deputy Managing Director. Leo has worked for Union Pacific for the past ten years and was most recently based in Roseville. He brings a wide range of railroad experience with a mechanical engineering degree from Texas A&M. Welcome Leo!

• We are now in the design phase for the next generation onboard Wi-Fi system. The first prototype installation is expected in February 2020 with a subsequent upgrade to the remainder of the fleet. We expect improved system function, more up-time, and skilled diagnostic reporting.

3

• The South Bay Connect (Oakland to San Jose Phase 2A) project is at the end of the project definition phase in preparation for the start of the environmental process in early 2020. A Project Definition Report has been completed, and three Project Development Team meetings have been hosted to gather key stakeholder input during the project definition phase.

Outlook We expect that Capitol Corridor will continue its strong performance into the next fiscal year with increased ridership and revenue and improved On-Time Performance. We are only a few months away from the initiation of our upgraded WiFi service, with other exciting technology projects to follow including electronic menu boards in our café car and a new Passenger Information Display System. We have started design on a new siding in Santa Clara to improve reliability south of Oakland along the single-track section of our service. We also continue our progress on long-term improvements including the Sacramento to Roseville Third Track project and South Bay Connect.

Thomas Hannigan Station Renaming Stride on Board – College Promotion

New creative for the Stride On Board program, which is targeting college students, and features a variety of student fare options as well as a new loyalty program.

The 49ers are having a stellar season and the Raiders have been in playoff contention throughout their final season in Oakland; this, combined with our proactive rescheduling and promotion of “game trains,” has led to high ridership on game days. On 10/27, the last 49er home game brought in 600+ riders taking the train to and from the game. Future rescheduled trains include the Raiders 11/7 game as well as the 49ers 11/11 game.
