Mountain View Automated Guideway Transit Feasibility Study - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Mountain View Automated Guideway Transit Feasibility Study Community Meeting April 3, 2017 Jim Lightbody, City of Mountain View Jenny Baumgartner, Lea+Elliott Eileen Goodwin, Apex Strategies 1

Agenda  Presentation  Question & Answers  Stations/Discussion 2

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 3

Study Approach  Identify potential study area influences  Identify system design and operating characteristics  Identify potential technology alternatives  Evaluate feasibility of technologies against system characteristics 4

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 5

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 6
