ACT East Bay BRT Design Service
Improves safety by providing transit travel lanes and minimizes disruption to auto traffic.
Quick Facts
Provided traffic signal engineering, transit signal priority, ITS, pedestrian lighting, and on-street parking relocation for a new BRT project along State Route 185/International Boulevard
A 9.5 mile multimodal route that will modify International Boulevard and Broadway to accommodate exclusive BRT lanes, continuous bicycle lanes, and install pedestrian traffic signals for crosswalks
Results
BRT service operates every five minutes during peak periods and serve 34 stations along the corridor
Creates exclusive bus lanes for approximately 82% of the corridor and incorporates raised platforms for the 34 BRT stations
Enhances pedestrian crossings while maintaining safe and efficient travel lanes for transit operations and other traffic
Our Work
Prepared engineering plans, an engineer’s estimate and contract documents for a total of 122 traffic signals, including 71 modifications, 35 new intersection signals, 15 pedestrian or partial intersection signals and one HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crosswalk beacon)
Prepared the technology review, concept of operations, and system requirements to define a new advanced TSP system integrated with the signals operated by Caltrans, City of Oakland and City of San Leandro
Worked with multiple stakeholders, including Caltrans, AC Transit, and the cities of Oakland and San Leandro to build consensus
