Study Purpose

Treasure Island Transportation Plan (2006), CA Assembly Bill 981 (2008), and Treasure Island Transportation Implementation Plan (TITIP), (2011) call for:

• Pricing automobile use to discourage driving to/from a redeveloped Treasure Island

• Establishment of a Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency (TIMMA) to manage TITIP implementation and operations

This Study is the next step in TITIP pre-implementation planning and engineering.

4

• Island designed for walking and biking as primary travel modes

• Transit services to and from islands provided at levels of service

to meet demand and provide high-quality alternatives to private

auto

• Discourage automobile use via parking policies, congestion

pricing, ramp metering and other measures

• Create and maintain efficient and financially sustainable

transportation system

• Adaptively manage transportation services and pricing over time

to meet real-time needs

TITIP Principles

5

Study Objectives and Tools

Study Objectives

• Analyze and recommend

pricing program policies

• Establish costs,

revenues, and financial

viability

• Support conceptual

engineering design for

pricing program

Study Tools

• Travel demand

forecasting model

• Capital and operating

cost estimates

• Financial model

• Agency & public input

• Travel demand model calibration nearing

completion

• Financial model structure developed, “baseline”

inputs defined

• Outreach Plan under development

• Agency Technical Advisory Committee established

Study Status

8

• Have we identified the right congestion

pricing / toll policy issues?

• Who else should we reach out to for input?

Questions for You Today

Policy Analysis Process

9

Define Congestion Pricing Scenario

Demand Model Inputs

Financial Model Inputs

Evaluate Outputs:

Did you meet your objectives?

TITIP Goals

• Financial sustainability

• Transportation system performance

Preferred Scenario

If yes…

If no…

10

Policy Starting Point: Approved TITIP

11

Who Must Pay Toll • Residents only

• Residents and non-residents

Toll Pricing Structure • Time-of-day schedule

• Minimum and maximum tolls

Directionality of Tolling • Toll both on and off the Island

• Toll on or off the Island

Pricing Program Policy Questions

12

HOV Occupancy Requirements

for Toll-Free Travel • Three or more occupants (HOV3+)

• Vanpools (registered with FasTrak)

Hours of Operation • Peak periods only-weekdays

• Weekend peaks in addition to weekdays

Pricing Program Policy Questions

13

Travel demand model (SF-CHAMP) will:

• Provide inputs to the financial model (travel demand by

mode and time of day)

• Model the effects of policy options on travel demand by

mode: toll applicability, pricing structure (including

parking pricing), HOV requirements, hours of operation

• Begin with an analysis of the “baseline” service and

policy assumptions from the TITIP

Demand Analysis

14

Financial model will:

• Use demand model outputs and capital / operating

costs as inputs

• Provide comprehensive overview of the transportation

system’s financial performance

• Identify toll and parking fee levels that will ensure cost-

recovery

• Begin with an analysis of the “baseline” policy

assumptions from the TITIP

Financial Analysis

15

• Ferry service to San

Francisco

• Muni bus lines to

Transbay Terminal

and Civic Center

• AC Transit bus line

to Oakland

• On-island shuttle

service to transit hub

• Bikeshare

• Travel coordination

& information

Pricing Program Services

16

• Toll payments

• Public parking fees

• Mandatory Pre-paid

Transit Passes

Pricing Program Revenue Sources

17

Placement of toll equipment affects pricing

program effectiveness and costs

Toll Equipment Placement considerations

• Traffic routing

• Ramp configuration

• Communications/Power availability

• Right of Way ownership

• Queuing on Island and on Bridge

Conceptual Engineering Issues

18

• Plan under development (will cover this year)

• Who else should we reach?

• What are good ways to reach TI Stakeholders?

Public Outreach & Input Plan
