80-618: The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center ( ARTIC ) is an intermodal transit center in Anaheim, California , United States. It serves as a train station for Amtrak intercity rail and Metrolink commuter rail , as well as a bus station used by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART), Greyhound , Megabus , Flixbus and Tres Estrellas de Oro . ARTIC opened in 2014 and replaced Anaheim–Stadium station ,

160-698: A subway was built through tunnels under the Hudson, now called the PATH , a station stop was added to Hoboken Terminal. More recently, the New Jersey Transit 's Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system has included a stop there. Ferry service has recently been revived, but passengers must exit the terminal and walk across the pier to the more modest ferry slip. With the opening of the Woodside and Birkenhead Dock Street Tramway in 1873, Birkenhead Dock railway station probably became

240-492: A November 2014 meeting, the City Council indefinitely postponed the electronic sign even though it would have been one of the primary funding sources for the $ 3.6-million cost to operate ARTIC during the first seven months of operation. A naming-rights partner has not been obtained, so city officials will continue with those efforts since this was also supposed to be one of the main funding sources for operation and maintenance of

320-464: A car can cut costs for fuel and parking, and some families no longer need to own and operate multiple cars. Environmental benefits can also increase (i.e. less pollution) and reduced traffic congestion can deliver significant cost savings to the city and local government. Many transit agencies have begun installing bike racks on the front of buses, as well as in the interior of buses, trains, and even on ferries. These transit bike racks allow cyclists

400-469: A certain degree of coordination, scheduling issues with mass transit can often be an issue. For example, a sometimes-late train can be an annoyance, and an often-late train can make a commute impractical. Weather can also be a factor. Even when the use of an automobile is involved, the transition from one mode of transportation to another often exposes commuters to the elements. As a result, multi-mode commuters often travel prepared for inclement weather. In

480-408: A few years and I-15 upgrades for more lanes an ongoing project, an alternative mode of transportation between Southern California and Las Vegas is considered important by many transportation planners . As a result, a maglev train was proposed in the late 1990s. Operating on a dedicated track, it would not be subject to delays from freight trains , a problem that plagued the old Amtrak service. As

560-449: A high-speed service, it would be able to compete with airlines for passengers, especially from the outlying areas of Southern California. Funding allocated to date: The maglev project's cost has recently been estimated to be around $ 12 billion. In June 2010, it lost key support from Senator Harry Reid , who then stated support for the privately financed Desert Xpress (later Brightline West ) project. The availability of these funds for

640-403: A large role in mixed mode commuting. Rapid transit such as express bus or light rail may cover most of the distance, but sit too far out from commute endpoints. At 3 mph walking, 2 miles represents about 40 minutes of commute time; whereas a bicycle may pace 12 mph leisurely, cutting this time to 10 minutes. When the commuter finds the distance between the originating endpoint (e.g.

720-635: A lease. Anaheim will make payments to OCTA over 14 years at a 2 percent simple-interest rate. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) clearance was completed in October 2010 and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance was completed in 2012. KTGY Architecture + Planning was responsible for obtaining approvals, entitlements and creating the land plan. The team of PB/HOK completed design development in May 2012. The construction contract

800-553: A location further out than practical walking distance but not more than practical cycling distance to reduce housing costs. Similarly, a commuter can close an even further distance quickly with an ebike , motorcycle, or car, allowing for the selection of a more preferred living area somewhat further from the station than would be viable by walking or simple bicycle. Other cost advantages of mixed mode commuting include lower vehicle insurance via Pay As You Drive programs; lower fuel and maintenance costs; and increased automobile life. In

880-546: A long-distance route. In August 2014, the backers of the scheme were seeking to revive interest in the proposal. In October 2018, it was reported that the LA-LV maglev project was over in 2012. In September 2019, it was reported that Brightline West , formerly known as XpressWest, and Virgin Trains USA, intended to begin construction in the first half of 2020 of a competing non-maglev route between Victor Valley and Las Vegas. In

960-411: A major role in providing door-to-door service between airports or train stations and other points of travel throughout urban , suburban , and rural communities. (Automobiles can also be used as the centerpiece of a multi-mode commute, with drivers resorting to walking or cycling to their final destination. Commuters to major cities take this route when driving is convenient, but parking options at

1040-434: A nearby depot and train platforms used by Amtrak and Metrolink that first opened in 1984. Designed by the global architecture firm HOK , the steel-framed ARTIC building's entrance is a 120-foot-tall (37 m) glass wall. The structure has a compound curved shell that is covered with air-filled plastic pillows through which sunlight illuminates the interior. The arched roof is illuminated with multicolored lights visible from

1120-762: A new facility, as at the William F. Walsh Regional Transportation Center in Syracuse, New York , or South Station in Boston, Massachusetts . In other cases new facilities, such as the Alewife Station In Cambridge, Massachusetts , were built from the start to emphasize intermodalism. Regional transit systems in the United States often include regional intermodal transit centers that incorporate multiple types of rail and bus services alongside park and ride amenities. Until

1200-757: A passenger ferry. Prior to the widespread use of automobiles, the San Francisco Bay Area featured a complex network of ferry services which connected numerous interurban and streetcar systems in the North and East Bay to the San Francisco Ferry Building , where several city streetcar lines began service. The opening of the rail-carrying San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and automotive Golden Gate Bridge almost entirely supplanted these services. Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit commuter rail

1280-483: A pleasant and grand interior space, which has been likened to stations from the peak of American rail transit (such as Grand Central Terminal and former Pennsylvania Station building ). In 2014, hailing it as a "world class transportation gateway to Orange County , the American Institute of Architects described the station as, combining "the heritage and civic importance of the grand 19th century rail stations of

1360-418: A single-mode form of transit, they also find use in a variety of mixed-mode scenarios. They can provide a short commute to train stations, airports, and piers, where all-day " park and ride " lots are often available. Used in this context, cars offer commuters the relative comfort of single-mode travel, while significantly reducing the financial and environmental costs. Taxicabs and rental cars also play

1440-570: A small portion of the route – from Anaheim to Ontario – in their 2012 transportation plan. American Magline Group, working with the California-Nevada Super Speed Train Commission, has received most of the government funds released so far. The German consortium famous for the Shanghai Maglev Train , Transrapid International , has performed some research into it as well; hoping to demonstrate its technology on

1520-464: A specific example of this; feeder buses service local neighbourhoods by taking travellers from their homes to nearby train stations which is important if the distances are too far to comfortably walk; at the end of the working day the buses take the travellers home again. Feeder buses work best when they are scheduled to arrive at the railway station shortly before the train arrives allowing enough time for commuters to comfortably walk to their train, and on

1600-540: Is a half-cent countywide sales tax that helps pay for transportation improvements. The city eventually began to obtain lease revenue from commercial tenants but has continued to manage costs at the depot and seek more revenue through events and filming. Two 35-foot-tall (11 m) monument signs were approved that display static directions and center advertising for the transit hub . An 84-foot-tall (26 m) digital billboard facing State Route 57 had been proposed to generate about $ 800,000 annually in advertising revenue. At

1680-532: Is a mezzanine with a small lobby and the concourse bridge for access to the stairs or elevators that take travelers down to the railroad tracks. The building was certified LEED Platinum and was awarded the 2015 Public Works Project of the Year by the American Public Works Association . Recognizing excellence in the management and administration of public works projects, the cooperative achievements of

1760-510: Is a planned indoor volleyball venue and Angel Stadium is a planned baseball and softball venue. The station is about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from the Arena at Anaheim , the planned indoor volleyball venue. Besides local bus service provided by OCTA and ART, travel service to intercity/international destinations is provided from the complex. Megabus began a bus service between the terminal, Los Angeles, San Jose , Oakland , and San Francisco when

1840-670: Is expected to feature a connection with the Golden Gate Ferry and service to San Francisco Ferry Building at Larkspur Landing . The Hercules station is to be the first direct Amtrak -to-ferry transit hub in the San Francisco Bay . The Staten Island Railway , while operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority , does not have a physical connection to the rest of New York City 's rail network. As such, transfers to Manhattan are facilitated by

1920-509: Is in limbo since the Union Pacific claims to lack capacity on the existing rail line. As of 2009, the project has been on hold and is unlikely to be revived. Through a series of acquisitions, Brightline (then known as Virgin Trains USA) acquired rights to a privately owned high-speed rail line running nonstop from Victorville, California , to Las Vegas, a 200-mile run (320 km) along

2000-431: Is often called "bike and ride". To safeguard against theft or vandalism of parked bicycles at these train, bus, and ferry stations, "bike and ride" transport benefits greatly from secure bicycle parking facilities such as bicycle parking stations being available. Some train, bus, and ferry systems allow commuters to take their bicycles aboard, allowing cyclists to ride at both ends of the commute, though sometimes this

2080-465: Is particularly of use in areas where trains may travel but automobiles cannot, such as the Channel Tunnel . Another system called NIMPR is designed to transport electric vehicles on high speed trains. A train ferry is a ship designed to carry railway vehicles. While usually used to carry freight vehicles, passenger cars can also be carried. In other places passengers move between passenger cars to

2160-545: Is responsible for the ongoing operating and maintenance costs and planned for the facility to be self-funded. Potential revenue sources anticipated in the planning were advertising, a naming-rights sponsor, and leases from tenant business. During the first years, most of the funding has come from the 2 percent assessment from the resort area hotel guests collected by the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District. Some additional funds have come from Measure M2 which

2240-415: Is restricted to off-peak travel periods: in such cases, folding bicycles may be permitted where regular bicycles are not. In some cities, bicycles are permitted aboard trains and buses. In some cities a public bicycle rental programme allows commuters to take a public bike between the public transport station and a docking station near their origin or destination. The use of "bike and ride" instead of

2320-479: Is that turnstiles are located on the platforms between rail services in addition to on a separate concourse to allow for direct transfers. Millbrae Intermodal Terminal is also planned to be incorporated into the California High-Speed Rail project as one of two stations between San Francisco and San Jose . Mixed mode commuting combines the benefits of walking , bicycle commuting , or driving with

2400-645: Is what is often termed "kiss and ride". Rather than drive to the train or bus station and park the commuter is driven to the station by a friend or relative (parent, spouse etc.) The "kiss" refers to the peck on the cheek as the commuter exits the car. Kiss and ride is usually conducted when the train/bus/ferry station is close to home, so that the driver dropping the commuter off has a short journey to and from home. Many large cities link their railway network to their bus network. This enables commuters to get to places that are not serviced directly by rail as they are often considered to be too far for walking. Feeder buses are

2480-742: The Pacific Surfliner . The Orange County Line began service to the station in 1990 as the Orange County Commuter, an Amtrak-operated service between Los Angeles and San Juan Capistrano. In 1994, the line became Metrolink's fifth route known as the Orange County Line with the purchase of the railroad right-of-way, Surf Line , from Santa Fe . The Inland Empire–Orange County Line that runs from San Bernardino through Orange County to Oceanside does not stop here but at nearby Anaheim Canyon station . Both Metrolink lines stop at Orange ,

2560-448: The Toronto streetcar system or with airport shuttle buses which transports to bus, subway and rail connections at Union Station . Several passenger rail systems offer services that allow travelers to bring their automobiles with them. These usually consist of automobile carrying wagons attached to normal passenger trains, but some special trains operate solely to transport automobiles. This

2640-408: The free Staten Island Ferry . In recent years, an increasing emphasis has been placed on designing facilities that make such transfers easier and more seamless. These are intended to help passengers move from one mode (or form) of transportation to another. An intermodal station may service air, rail, and highway transportation for example. In some cases, facilities were merged or transferred into

2720-619: The Anaheim Resort and Platinum Triangle areas. A branch of the Southern Pacific Railway was extended to Anaheim in 1875. In 1887, a rail line to San Diego was built through the Town by Santa Fe Railway. By 1921, there were two Southern Pacific depots and one Santa Fe depot. The Pacific Electric Railway was also planning on a line to connect with the community. Eventually these rail services were discontinued but rail service began again when

2800-716: The Maglev project were withdrawn at the direction of Reid by language contained in the Federal "Jobs Bill" passed in March 2010. In a press release, the Senator claimed the Maglev Commission had failed to raise the required matching funds of 20%; a claim subsequently disputed by American Magline Group President Neil Cummings, who reported raising $ 10 million. Reid then noted that the commission had "failed to complete an environmental impact statement",

2880-617: The Super Speed Train Commission is ostensibly a bi-state body, there is a wrinkle, a senior Transportation Department official said. Nevada established its part as a state agency, but in California, it was formed as a "nonprofit public benefit corporation." Amtrak proposed upgrading the existing rail line to allow high-speed Talgo trains. A high-profile publicity event was staged in December 1999. The implementation of this option

2960-486: The United States fare integration is often lacking, making passengers "pay extra for the 'privilege' of having a connection". This is largely a non-issue in European cities where all modes of local public transit follow the same ticketing scheme and a ticket for e.g. the metro will be valid on buses or commuter rail. California%E2%80%93Nevada Interstate Maglev The California–Nevada Interstate Maglev project

3040-606: The ability to ride their bicycle to the bus/train/ferry, take the mode of transportation, then ride again to their final destination. These types of racks combined with increased bike infrastructure and bike parking have made bike commuting a frequent topic of discussion by cities and local government. Many cities have extended subway or rail service to major urban airports. This provides travellers with an inexpensive, frequent and reliable way to get to their flights as opposed to driving or being driven, and contending with full up parking, or taking taxis and getting caught in traffic jams on

3120-507: The airport, without passing through customs and immigration control, effectively like having a transit from one flight to another. The airport is well-connected with expressways and an Airport Express train service. A seaport and logistics facilities will be added in the near future. Kansai International Airport is also connected to Kobe Airport with ferries. The Toronto Island ferry connects Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to mainland Toronto , where passengers can connect to

3200-448: The beginning or end of the journey. Trains offer quick transit from a suburb into an urban area, where passengers can choose a way to complete the trip. Most transportation modes have always been used intermodally; for example, people have used road or urban railway to an airport or inter-regional railway station. Intermodal transport has existed for about as long as passenger transport itself. People switched from carriages to ferries at

3280-400: The benefits of rapid transit while offsetting some of the major disadvantages of each. The use of a bicycle can, for example, make an (inexpensive compared to a car) 20 mile light-rail or suburban rail journey attractive even if the endpoints of the journey each sit 1 mile out from the stations: the 30 minutes walking time becomes 8 minutes bicycling. As in the example above, location plays

3360-403: The building's power was designed to be generated by solar panels on the parking structures and recycled materials were used in the construction. The complex geometry of the diamond-shaped metal grid that forms the shell is supported by a structural steel frame. This required extensive planning and preparation using building information modeling . Artist Mikyoung Kim was selected to complete

3440-595: The city of Anaheim provided a station in 1984 for the Amtrak San Diegan on property on the connections side of the State Route 57 freeway belonging to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. In October 1986 a new standard design station was constructed about 600 feet (180 m) northwest to a site where Anaheim Stadium was just across the parking lot, appropriately referred to as Anaheim–Stadium . The station

3520-455: The commuters' return journey buses are scheduled to arrive shortly after the train arrives so that the buses are waiting to take the commuters home. If train and bus services are very frequent then this scheduling is unimportant as the commuter will in any case have a very short wait to interchange. All around the world bicycles are used to get to and from train and other public transportation stations; this form of intermodal passenger transport

The uniqueness of this transfer facility

3680-579: The day. Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center is served by 19 Metrolink Orange County Line trains (10 northbound and 9 southbound) each weekday, running primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel. Weekend service consists of 4 trains (2 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, running in each direction in the morning and evening. Intermodal passenger transport Mixed-mode commuting often centers on one type of rapid transit , such as regional rail , to which low-speed options (i.e. bus , tram , or bicycle ) are appended at

3760-425: The destination are not readily available.) Transport planners often try to encourage automobile commuters to make much of their journey by public transport . One way of doing this is to provide car parking places at train or bus stations where commuters can drive to the station, park their cars and then continue on with their journey on the train or bus: this is often called "park and ride". Similar to park and ride

Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey , was built to let commuters to New York City from New Jersey switch to ferries to cross the Hudson River in order to get to Manhattan . A massive ferry slip , now in ruins, was incorporated into the terminal building. Later, when

In general, locations close to major transit such as rail stations carry higher land value and thus higher costs to rent or purchase. A commuter may select

4000-526: The last year before the new facility opened, the station averaged approximately 500 daily Metrolink boardings and 400 daily Amtrak boardings. There were roughly 224,500 annual Amtrak passengers (arrivals and departures) in 2013. City officials had originally projected that, after the station was rebuilt as the ARTIC, daily ridership would eventually amount to more than 10,330 boardings, and predicted that initial ridership would see nearly 3,000 daily boardings. However,

4080-538: The late 1970s and 1980s, Nevada politicians talked of a "bullet train" to connect Southern California to Las Vegas. Since the 1997 termination of the Amtrak -run Desert Wind , Las Vegas has been without any passenger train service. Plans to resume service using a Talgo train have failed to gain traction due to the high cost of upgrades to the existing track, much of it being only a single track as of 2006. With McCarran International Airport expected to reach capacity in

Some commuters transferring between bus and train have called the layout "dysfunctional" for pedestrians. Additionally, the transit center's location in the middle of a vast area full of various parking lots has been criticized for being isolated. The city of Anaheim

4240-476: The managing agency, contractor, and consultants were highlighted by the award. The building uses a combination of radiant floor and jet diffusers to cool or heat only a 12-to-15-foot (3.7 to 4.6 m)-high area above the floor. The ETFE foil "pillows" maintain a cool temperature in the unconditioned space at the high elevations of the curtain wall when used in conjunction with glass louvers at both ends that open to allow natural air flow when needed. Twenty percent of

4320-525: The money was never spent, and was finally reallocated to a highway project in a Las Vegas Airport in June 2010. The maglev project was not in the 2012 transportation plan under consideration by the Southern California Association of Governments. Removing it from the plan means that the project cannot receive federal funds, even for studies. The Southern California Association of Governments did leave

4400-573: The most extreme cases, a mixed-mode commuter may opt to car share and pay only a small portion of purchase, fuel, maintenance, and insurance, or to live car-free . These cost benefits are offset by costs of transit, which can vary. A Maryland MTA month pass valid for MTA Light Rail, Metro Subway, and City Bus costs $ 64, while a month pass for the Baltimore to DC MARC costs $ 175.00 and a DC MetroRail 7 day pass costs $ 47 totaling $ 182. In most of Europe de:Verkehrsverbund and mode neutral pricing eliminate

4480-474: The need to have several different tickets for public transit across different modes. Mobility as a service intends to take this a step further, offering one price per trip from door to door, no matter which mode is used for which part of the trip. The effectiveness of a mixed-mode commute can be measured in many ways: speed to destination, convenience, security, environmental impact, and proximity to mass transit are all factors. Because mixed-mode commutes rely on

4560-524: The next stop to the south. An average of 500 Metrolink and 400 Amtrak passengers boarded trains daily in the last year of operation of the previous Anaheim station. The current site was formerly occupied by the Orange County "Katella Yard" with outdated facilities for the county surveyor , the agricultural commissioner, public works transportation, watershed protection, and flood control operations and maintenance.

4800-435: The project had been advertised as though 10,000 riders were expected on opening day. Initially, a typical weekday saw about 2,400 transit riders, increasing to 3,900 on days with concerts and/or sporting events at the nearby venues. By 2019, 4,200 to 5,500 riders were passing through on any given day. Amtrak trains had 287,415 boardings and departures that year. In addition, Amtrak Thruway intercity bus services (which connect

4880-411: The project put the total price tag closer to $ 185.2 million. The main terminal was about $ 68 million of the cost. A conflict between Metrolink and Amtrak over the platform's height so that it could be used by accessible passengers was one of the biggest issues that had to be resolved during the construction. The redesign of the train platform added extra costs along with expenses for rail improvements but
