ECOS
50-year Transportation Vision
ECOS
has unveiled a 50-Year Transportation Vision for the Sacramento region.
This Vision is complete with a transit network
map, capital projects, and innovative transit, land-use and
traffic demand management policies.
The Vision includes a
transit/bike/pedestrian-only bridge at Arden Way and Truxel;
underground rapid transit access to downtown and the
multi-modal Amtrak station; transit guideways on major corridors
throughout the region; and an extensive network of neighborhood
shuttles. The ECOS Vision presents a future for Sacramento with
lower levels of air pollution and
congestion and communities and neighborhoods that are livable,
sustainable and safe.
The Vision, with incorporated land use and
pricing strategies, has been modeled by UC Davis researchers (see
Mineta Transportation Institute Report link below) and has produced
impressive results in all areas: air quality, transit ridership,
transportation equity, and neighborhood interconnectivity.
Modeling results show that the ECOS Vision produces
lower vehicle miles traveled, increased transit ridership, lower air
pollutant emissions, lower travel costs for low and moderate-income
households, and lower land consumption than current and proposed plans.
