5:00  SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT

ROLL CALL

1.  Proposed Performance Measures, Service Design Concepts and Companion Measures for a Potential Shuttle Program and/or Ride Hail Program at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve (R-23-98)

Staff Contact: Susanna Chan, Assistant General Manager, General Manager’s Office and Tyler Smith, Planner II, Planning Department

General Manager’s Recommendations:

  1. Receive an overview of the data collection, background analyses, and public and stakeholder engagement that has been informing the development of a potential Shuttle Program and Ride Hail Program for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, some of which may be applicable at other preserves.
  2. Review and provide feedback on the following draft elements:
    1. Service Design Concepts
    2. Performance Measures
    3. Companion Measures
  3. Based on the information received and the Planning and Natural Resources Committee recommendation, direct the General Manager to complete the final 10% consultant scopes of work to finalize the Shuttle and Ride Hail Program Reports to inform potential future implementation at Rancho San Antonio Preserve or other more appropriate open space preserve(s). This work includes:
    1. Further developing the shuttle and ride hail programs options, focusing on opportunities that best leverage similar existing programs;
    2. Exploring the availability of grant programs to cover upfront program implementation costs and, if possible, on-going operating expenses; and
    3. Refining and selecting the recommended companion measure(s) that will be necessary to reach successful program outcomes.
  4. Prior to taking action on a proposed shuttle and/or ride hail program, return to the Board with information on the potential scope of work, timeline, cost, and indication of the type of findings that are expected for a visitor capacity study to confirm whether such a study would indeed be informative and desired prior to confirming subsequent program implementation steps.
  5. Direct the General Manager to return with final implementation recommendations for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve and consideration of application of the program(s) at other appropriate Preserve sites.
