Agenda

 Presentation  Question & Answers  Stations/Discussion

3

Introduction

 Purpose of Study

 The Challenge

 Employment and housing growth  Caltrain rider growth  Achieving city goals for mode shift

 The Goal

 Determine if Automated Guideway Transit is feasible  How would AGT be integrated into community over time

4

Study Approach

 Identify potential study area

influences

 Identify system design and

• perating characteristics

 Identify potential technology

alternatives

 Evaluate feasibility of technologies

against system characteristics

5

Passenger Demand

 Projection of future demand follows

anticipated community growth

 Substantial demand in study corridor

(includes future North Bayshore workers & residents)

 Estimated ridership demand

during commute peak periods

 2,300 to 3,600 riders

6

What is AGT technology?

 Automated Guideway Transit

 Driverless  Primarily exclusive right‐of‐way / grade separated  Guidance system  Electric or battery powered  Corridor or network configuration  Operating procedures  Security features  Maintenance programs
