Eco-Rapid Transit, formerly known as the Orangeline Development
Authority, is a joint powers authority (JPA) created to pursue
development of a high speed, grade separated transit system
that is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. The system is
designed to enhance and increase transportation options for riders of
this region utilizing safe, advanced transit technology to expand
economic growth that will benefit Southern California.
The Authority is composed of the following public agencies:
City of Artesia
City of Bell
City of Bell Gardens
City of Bellflower
City of Cerritos
City of Cudahy
City of Downey
City of Glendale
City of Huntington Park
City of Maywood

TO: Members of Eco-Rapid FROM: Michael R. Kodama, Executive Director DATE: September 11, 2013 SUBJECT: UPDATE AND/OR ACTION: PRESENTATION BY JERRY WOOD, DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION AND ENGINEERING, GATEWAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS REGARDING GATEWAY CITIES COG TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN ISSUE Gateway Cities Council of Governments is preparing a Transportation Strategic Plan. Jerry Wood is the Director of Transportation and Engineering for Gateway Cities COG. He will provide an update regarding the strategic plan. BACKGROUND Gateway Cities Transportation Strategic Plan evaluates of current and planned transportation projects. The goal is to determine how to reduce congestion and improve mobility for the entire sub-region. This plan will be the first ever comprehensive evaluation of all multimodal transportation improvement concepts within the Gateway Cities region. The Eco-Rapid Transit Project (West Santa Ana Branch) from Cerritos to Downtown Los Angeles is one of the projects in the plan. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board:
1. Discuss information presented and offer action items; and/or
2. Receive and file the report.

What is the Gateway Cities Strategic Transportation Plan?
The purpose of the Gateway Cities Strategic Transportation Plan is to develop a unified, subregional multimodal transportation improvement strategy by Spring 2014.
The Strategic Transportation Plan will foster regional coordination and collaboration among stakeholders, leading to reduced roadway congestion, improved air quality, a stronger economy and better, healthier quality of life within the Gateway Cities.
All transportation modes will be studied together with a focus on demographic analysis, air quality and public health, storm water treatment, goods movement impacts, new technologies, and funding and financing strategies.

All transportation modes will be studied together with a focus on: demographic analysis air quality and public health storm water treatment goods movement impacts new technologies funding and financing strategies
ALL TRANSPORTATION MODES Arterial Highways
Freeways Local and Regional Transit
Park and Ride Lots Active Transportation
Goods Movement & Logistics Transportation Technologies
Truck Enforcement
The plan will help frame decisions about future transportation infrastructure investments that will be important to the area’s economic development. It will ensure that Gateway Cities achieves local goals and gets useful mobility options and congestion relief benefits in a manner that is cost-effective and environmentally safe.
ACHIEVE LOCAL GOALS
What is the benefit of developing the Strategic Transportation Plan?

The plan will integrate existing projects, and identify new projects.
Understanding the connecJons will help to achieve Gateway CiJes TransportaJon Goals.

Technology Development Program
Zero Emission Truck Commercialization Study – 2013
Begin design of Gateway Cities Goods Movement Technology Projects – 2013
Coordinate with MTA Zero Emission Truck Collaborative – 2013/2017
Coordinate possible Zero Emission Freight Demonstration Project – 2013/2014
MAP-21 Coordination – ongoing
Complete I-710 EIR/EIS – 2014/15
The STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN for Gateway Cities is proceeding in 2013/14 with the following goods movement elements:
I-‐710
8 or 10 Lanes
I-‐710 Four Lane, Zero Emission Freight Corridor
TSM/TDM/ITS/Transit Truck-catenary navigation systems that are now deployed internationally can be scaled for the I-710 concept. Battery-operated trucks will be able to charge while they are on the Freight Corridor, thus extending their range to cover pick-ups and deliveries in the L.A. region.
CATENARY DESIGN
A 2012 study, currently being updated, indicated that development of a zero emission heavy duty vehicle or vehicle system for the I-710 freight corridor is feasible by 2035 with no major technological barriers if the project goes through a series of critical stages recognized as a “commercialization process.” Competing technologies must be evaluated, tested, proven and commercialized with stakeholders transitioning to a new structure with zero emissions as a critical component. A new set of market mechanisms must be developed and adopted in order to achieve a zero emission corridor. The updated commercialization study will be completed in 2013.
