This effort will <br />delve into the operational details of these potential improvements to a greater extent than this <br />broad planning study. <br />Additional phases of work in 2018 are needed to progress the program proposed in the DTCS. <br />These phases would include the following: <br />ƒ Additional regional travel behavior forecasting in an attempt to better quantify the <br />potential benefit of the rail alternatives, especially with more streamlined connections with <br />ACE and Capitol Corridor <br />ƒ Coordination with CalSTA, Altamont Commuter Express, Capitol Corridor and Union Pacific <br />Railroad (UP) <br />ƒ In addition to the funding strategy and public-private partnership opportunities discussed <br />in Chapters 13 and 14, an in-depth public-private partnership analysis to investigate the <br />viability of the rail alternatives (in addition to other alternatives) given more regional- <br />based rail connections and operating plans <br />ƒ Additional analysis of a busway or enhanced bus on the Rail Bridge as a secondary option <br />ƒ Additional analysis of a busway or enhanced bus on the Rail Bridge as a phasing option <br />(regulatory requirements and processes and coordination with UP) <br />ƒ Design and environmental documentation <br /> <br />6.1.D. - Page 34
