Oakland Airport Connector Automated People Mover for Oakland Coliseum BART to Oakland International Airport Elie Jalkh Marwan Bejjani Steve Raney

Why? Airport: Doubling capacity. Increasing market share. Hegenberger, 98 th Street - low LOS Parking shortage City of Oakland: Redevelopment BART: part of 50s plan. Unused capacity.

Alameda County Measure B Sales Tax Specified APM – airport sensitive about traffic Only Sierra Club opposed (cost effectiveness) Cost given as $130M Knew it would cost twice as much $232M and counting Scrambling for $

September 11 Air passengers up 14% Oct 01 vs 00 Airport station security

Rider experience 48% air passengers have carry on bags Not fastest mode, but most reliable Hwy 880 LOS F Faster from SF to OAK than SFO Closer than parking, moving walkways, 2 floors down Seamless ticketing

AirBART / Quality Bus Profitable 750,000 trips per year, 6.2% share Not given a fair shot in EIR Signal control, increased service will happen Worst case trip time.

TOD Metroport: 1.3M sq feet, 300 hotel rooms, parking BART station: transit village, Hope IV, offices More

Parking – 40% of OAK revenue OAK losing 2,000 spaces Coliseum BART parking – free for day trips BART paid overnite parking New development has competing parking OAK plans to add 2 lots w/ bus.

Economics / Feasibility 13 mi BART trip on average: $2.15 From EIR numbers, does not cover debt service 16% share is high. (Reagan: 14%, Atlanta: 8%) Annual trip growth $232M construction. All BART projects more Low fares: OAC $3, BART inflation Millions

Multiple agencies cooperating Conflict over airport station Marketing Construction, traffic impact Conflict over strategy

Recommendation: APM is good Covers operating costs – improves BART utilization at low cost Without APM, Metroport wont be built Without removing cars, TOD and air passenger growth would stall TOD is crucial for Oakland THE END.

BART-OAK Connector Station Location Minimize vertical transitions Minimize walking distances Eliminate crossing roadways at-grade Locate station as close as possible to security checkpoint Locate station as close or closer to the terminal as most convenient parking space

BART-OAK Connector Funding Port of Oakland: $25 million in PFCs Eligibility: project must preserve or enhance capacity of the national air transportation system Port of Oakland must own/acquire right-of-way Project must primarily serve the Airport (passengers and employees)

BART-OAK Connector Other Considerations Structural separation Construction phasing coordination
