Baseline M-B2

N/A

Actions

• M-2g Expand Alhambra Community Transit (ACT Bus) service by increasing routes, frequency, and coverage to better connect neighborhoods and key destinations throughout the city.

Target M-T3

15% VMT reduction by 2030; 10%/15% active commuting by 2030/2045.

Baseline M-B3

VMT reduction from baseline year 2025.

Actions

• M-3a Monitor VMT reductions using San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments' (SGVCOG) new thresholds as a reference.

• M-3b Explore programs to incentivize active modes of travel for local trips, such as for grocery, shopping, and restaurants outings.

• M-3c Partner with GO SGV and Metro Bikes to make e-bikes more available and affordable to local residents and workers.

• M-3d Work with City staff for qualitative evaluation of a handful of pilot locations in the city where emerging mobility services are used or where curb space could be used for functions such as bike share, scooter share, and/or the pick-up and delivery of goods or people.

• M-3e Identify and implement first/last-mile improvements along key roadways and destinations.

• M-3f Identify barriers to Alhambra Unified School District (AUSD) students utilizing their school travel vouchers for bus travel to and from school. Evaluate student transit pass for Alhambra Community Transit. Explore ways to increase transit services and better serve AUSD students, faculty and staff.

• M-3g Explore the feasibility of incentivizing City staff utilization of public transportation and/or carpooling to/from work (e.g. subsidized, discounted, or free transit passes, vouchers or a Guaranteed Ride Home [GRH] program).

• M-3h Conduct ridership analysis and evaluate a sampling of bus stops based on highest ridership locations to improve access to transit and identify strategies to increase local ridership.

• M-3i Prioritize the provision of transit service and facilities within the five Disadvantaged Community tracts located on the western portion of the city, including Garfield/Valley and Almansor Park, neither of which has access to transit service currently.

• M-3j Increase transit service in underserved areas that have limited or no transit service.

• M-3k Coordinate with Metro, SGVCOG, and adjacent agencies for advancing the SGV BRT project, such as accessing grant funding, developing preliminary design, and conducting community engagement.

• M-3l Continue regular coordination with Metrolink and Metro regarding the status of the high-peed-rail [sic] project, which will connect Union Station to Rancho Cucamonga through a Metrolink Regional Rail (currently the San Bernadino Line). Explore potential for the project to use the San Bernadino Line with a station next to the city, and options for people to travel from Alhambra to the current and future stations. Coordinate with Metrolink and Metro to support high-density access to the future BRT, as well as current and future regional rail stations.

• M-3m Study the costs and benefits of a contactless payment system for Alhambra Community Transit.

• M-3n Study increased partnership with California State University, Los Angeles to increase frequency along the Alhambra Community Transit blue line route to better serve students, faculty, and employees living in Alhambra.

• M-3o Coordinate land use and transportation by targeting increases in residential development with non-vehicle infrastructure that connects to nearby destinations and the regional transit system.

• M-3p Explore opportunities for introducing an EV-car share program, such as Blink.

• M-3q Develop a transportation demand management (TDM) program to increase car sharing, bike sharing, and ride sharing.

• M-3r Reduce VMT through parking strategies such as pricing and amending zoning codes to reduce requirements in new development projects.
