Moving People in Los Angeles

April, 1980

PREFACE Fifty years ago Henry Ford deciared; "The City isdead-we shan solve the city's problem by leaving thecity." Those who might have agreed with Henry Fordthen, must question his wisdom today. The problemsof the city, including noise, congestion, pollution,energy and the lack of open sp~ce> have descendedupon the suburbs as well. Today, many are realiz.ingthat there is no escape from urban problems, and thatfuture success of the suburbs is dependent on deal ingwith the many needs and problems of the major citycenters.

The Los Angeles Downtown People Mover is a singlebut necessary element of a comprehensive regionaltransportation system serving downtown Los Angeles,the oldest and largest city center in the region. ThePeople Mover is needed to effective.ly complementand structure the shape of downtown, to help createthe desire for more people to work and live in down­town, as well as give people the ability to get aroundIn downtown. The People Mover will help returndowntown streets to people and the type of peopleactivities that cilies and societies are really all about.

PEOPLE MOVERS:A Proven Technology

People movers are an innovative type of public trans­portation service. Since 1971 the seventeen systemsoperati ng with in the United States have co lIecti ve Iytransported over 300 million passengers safely,reI iab Iy and efficie ntly.

A people /nover is like an elevator operating in ahorizontal rather than vertical direction. It is asystem of automated vehicles operating on a fixedguideway. The guideway can be located adjacent todevelopmen ts-much as elevators operate on theexterior of buildings-or it can be incorporateddirectly into developments. The people mover incor­porated in to Lhe hotel facil ity at Disneyworld inFlorida is an example of guideway integration withina major development. Other examples of stationintegration exist in Detroit's Fairlane ShoppingCenter and at airports including Seattle-Tacoma,

"t.e " 1-

Pearlridge, Hawaii

Tampa Bay, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Passenger vehiclesstop at stations along public rights of way or withinbuilding lobbies. Access is usually provided to stationsat the second story level by means of elevators,escalators and stairs. People mover vehicles vary insize and carry between 20 to 100 passengers. Vehiclescan be coupled together to form trains and generallytravel at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Such speedis adequate for typical people mover applicationswhere stations are spaced 2 to 4 blocks apart. Vehicleshave no exhaust em issions and are relatively quiet.They ar? powered by electrical energy and thus arenot dependent upon a continued supply of fossil fuels.People mover systems have the capacity to carry upto 15,000 passengers per hou r per direction. Becausevehicles are flush with the loading dock they are fullyaccessible to the elderly and handicapped.

Since 1971 the seventeensystems in operation through­out the United States havetransported over 300 millionpassengers safely, reliably andeff iciently.

Dependability of people mover service is remarkable.The Dallas-Fort Worth airport system in particularserves as proof. This system, operating since January1974, averages over 3 mill ion veh icle mil es per yearand has had a service availability rate of over 96percent. Safety and security are provided by means ofboth personnel and electronic surveillance andcontrol systems.

The people mover systems in operation have carried300 mill ion passengers wi thout a single fatal ityincident due to system operations.

Not only do people movers offer urban areas manyopportunities for improving the effectiveness oftransit service, they also have the capability forreversing the unfavorable trend in public transitoperating costs. The annual national transit deficit ispresently around $3 billion-an increase of 400 per­cent during the past decade. As the Urban Mass Trans­portation Administration Associate Administratorfor Research and Development has pointed out­"Automated people movers are probably the one (ifnot the only one) alternative that can cover mainte­nance and operating costs from non-tax revenuesources, and still provide transit service levels farexceeding those alternatives requiring a driver foreach vehicle for each shift of operation." Peoplemover systems now in operation provide efficientdependable service at moderate operating cost levels.

THE LOS ANCELES DOWNTOWNPEOPLE MOVER WILL HAVEAREAWIDE BENEFITS

The Los Angeles People Mover Program is designed to

address distribution needs of citywide transportationservice as well as circulation needs of downtown LosAngeles. The program has two major elements; oneelement is regional intercept facilities for bus andtrain transfers and auto parking; the second elementis the people mover which will link the intercepts todowntown and provide considerably improved accessto activity centers within downtown.

The regional bus intercept and auto/park facilitieswill be located at Union Station and ConventionCen ter. These faci Itties wi II fu nction as regio oa Itransportation centers and will provide direct accessto travel along six major corridors served by thefollowing freeways; Pasadena, Santa Monica, Harbor,Pomona, Santa Ana and San Bernardino. Also the ElMonte Busway wili be extended directly into theUn ion Station bus intercept. Additional buswaysare being planned for the Santa Ana, Harbor, andpro posed Ce ntu ry Freeway s.

Union Station will become a major transfer point forbusway patrons as well as commuter rail and Amtrakusers to reach downtown. These regional bus inter·cepts will also provide more efficient transfer serviceto thousands of bus riders who use downtown only asa transfer point. Today these people must come intothe downtown area to transfer between buses. Tomor·row they will transfer at the regional bus interceptfacilities which are strategically located at the fringeof downtown-thus el iminating unneces,ary traveltime on congested downtown streets.

Provision of auto/park facilities at the ConventionCenter and Union Station in tercept sites will enable

downtown to meet its future parking needs withoutcreati ng further traffic congestion. The People Moversystem includes locating 3,750 reasonably pricedspaces at the fringe of downtown. Auto commuterscan then park their cars and transfer to the PeopleMover to reach their final do~ntown destinations.Locating parking al the fringe of downtown is aneffective way of achieving environmental improve·ments for the pedestrian and allowing those who mustdrive an opportunity to reduce their parking costs.

The element that will enable these bus intercept andau tal park fad1it ies to fu nCllon su ccess fu lIy is th eautomated People Mover. This system will be 2.9miles long and will have thirteen station stops. Thesestations will provide access to many of downtown'sactivity centers. In fact, the People Mover will serveabout 1,500 businesses located within a five minutewal king time of the thirteen stations.

WHO WILL THE PEOPLE MOVERSERVE?

About 8,000 people currently live along the PeopleMover route. This figure will increase considerablywith construction of 1,100 apartment units for theelderly and handicapped on Hill Street, 850 marketrate condominiums on Bunker Hill, and 400 marketrate condominiums in South Park. Construction hasalready begun for the elderly and handicappedapartment units and should be completed by 1982.Final plans for both the Bunker Hill and South Parkcondominiums have been approved and constructionshould begin within the next year.

Today, over 111,000 people work in the People Move rservice a,rea. By 1990 this will increase to over 147,000people.

the People Mover will provide parkers the oppor­tunity to use more reasonably prfced parking at thefringes of downtown.

'Lao -:-ing nortJl tewa rSquare station

By 1990 the people mover willprovide service to 147,000employees, 12,000 residents,and 1,500 businesses in theservIce area.

The People Mover will also serve a large visitor popu­lation. These are business-people and tourists whoreside temporarily in the 6,000 hotel rooms thatalready exist along the People Mover route.

About 1,500 businesses operate along the PeopleMover service area. Some of these are major establish·ments such as The Broadway, Robinson's, and GrandCentral Market. But most businesses are of the smallervariety and include 400 retail, 400 general serviceestablishments, and 110 restaurants. These businessespay a. considerable portion of the $7 billion annualpayroll generated by downtown and spent through­out the City and County of Los Angeles.

Although a considerable portion of the land in theservice area is devoted to storing automobiles, eventoday there is deficiency of parking spaces along theWest Side of downtown. Because of this shortage,parking costs have increased dramatically, and insome places the daily charge is over $7, representinga 2S percent increase in the past year. As mentioned,

PEOPLE MOVER PATRONAGE72AOO RIDERS PER DAY

Because the People Mover will provide service to somany downtown opportunities, there will be about72,400 riders using the system each day by 1990.This total patronage estimate is comprised of threedifferent types of trips. Each day 34,200 trips will bemade by people who transfer between buses and the

People Mover for their commute to and from down­town; a total of 12,500 trips will be made th roughoutthe day by people who will use parking provided atUnion Station and Convention Center stations; a totalof 25,700 trips will be made daily for travel thatbegins and ends within the downtown area, i.e., lunchand shopping trips, meetings, and trips between theConvention Center and hotels.

THE PEOPLE MOVER WILL PRO­VIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS

No Operating Subsidy RequiredToday's citywide transit system operates by means ofever increasing tax subsidies. During the 1977 fiscalyear alone the Southern California Rapid TransitDistrict received $122 million from tax revenues;$108 million went for operations. One major longterm cost savings of the People Mover is that it willnot require general tax subsidies. The financial pro­gram is designed so that operating revenue$ estimatedat $4.77 million* per year are derived from users ofthe system-through the fare box, parking, leases andthrough private sector funding. In March, 1979, boththe Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and theCentral City Association endorsed the creation of abenefi t assessment district by the Ci ty of Los Angelesfor the purpose of funding $1.3 million* annuallytowards the operations of the People Mover. PeopleMover service can be implemented in other down­town cen ters without an increased drain on City,County I State, and Federal tax funds for transitoperations. People Movers, in downtown and else·where throughout the CitY, will pay for themselves.

Savings to Regional Bus SystemOperation of the People Mover will yield cost savingsas well as considerable economic benefits. Analysesindicate that at least $3 million* in capital costs and$3 million'" in annual operaling com will be saved byenabling more efficient use of the freeway bus system.Under today's conditions those buses would have tofunction much as local buses and self·d istribute theirpatrons on congested down tow n streets. Freeway busservice is very successful, however, up to one th ird oftotal operating time is often spent on downtownstreets rather than in providing commuter servicebetween downtown and other City centers.

*1978 dollars

EmploymentOther benefits exist in terms of economic stirn ulus.Operation of the People Mover will generate $67million in wages during the construction phase alone.Almost half these wages will be paid to laborers.

Economic ImpactOnce operating, People Mover service will reinforcethe economic strength of downtown. It will generate$515.2 million in additional retail sales by 1990. Itwill also reinforce downtown's contribution to thegeneral tax base. By reinforcing development trendsthe People Mover will help yield cumulatively another$8.8 mill ion by 1990 in loca I pro perty tax reven ues.

The people mover will provideservice to about 1,500 business­es within a 5 minute waik ofthe thirteen stations. Thesebusinesses include 400 retail,400 general service establish­ments/ 110 restaurants, and6,000 hotel rooms.

SOCIAL BENEFITSThe economic benefits resulting from new develop­ment in downtown and implementation of PeopleMover service will create additional employment for

.8,200 people in' the Central City, Strengthen ingdowntown employment opportunities is a keyfactor in successfully implementing housing pro­grams {or the Central City Core and adjacent com­munities.

Housing redevelopment programs that are interrelatedwith downtown planning are located in the Pico­Un ion, Norman die, and Ch j na town ne igh borhood s.

In addition to these projects which are located incommunities ad1acent to downtown, there are threein-town housing projects that' lie within the PeopleMover corridor. These specific projects which arebriefly described herein are South Park, BunkerHill and little Tokyo.

South Park Planning Area

Implementation of the People Mover will encouragethe realization of housing and related facilities in theSouth Park area. Housing plans for this area havebeen approved for 400 residential units for famil ies,single persons, and elderly persons. The project willconsist of townhouses, condominiums, recreationalfacilities and retail space.

Bunker Hill Planning Area

In addition to reinforcing economic development onBunker Hill, the People Mover will provide goodtransit service to the existing and future residentialpopulation. Today there are over 700 rental units onBunker Hill. Plans to make th is area a ,complete multi­use commercial and residential neighborhood includedevelopment of additional housing and related com-

mercial actiVities. Construction has begun on a rangeof housing units, inclUding 1,100 units for the elderlyand handit;;apped, and 1,000 market-rate condomin·iums. Both projects will be ready for occupancy in1980 and completed in 1982.

Future plans are to provide approximately 900 addi­tional market-rate residential units in the Bunker Hillarea.

Little Tokyo Planning Area

The People Mover will also provide direct transitservice to Little Tokyo, the economic, social andreligious center of the largest Japanese communityin the United States. Since City Council approvedredevelopment activities early in 1970, three hundredunits of low-income elderly housing have beenprovided. An additional 100 units for low andmoderate income families will completed by 1981.

Future plans are to provide an additional 200 units oflow and moderate income family housing in littleTokyo.

Planned with ongOing housingprograms, the people moverwill increase accessibility ofdowntown residents to employ­ment, social services, shoppingand recreational opportunities.

THE PEOPLE MOVER 15 PART OFTHE CITIES TOTAL DEVELOP­MENT

In time, people movers may become to activitycenters what today's elevators are to high-rise officebuildings. Such integration of people movers intothe total development of our city centers requirescoordinated planning and, where possible, jointdevelopmen t.

There are unique economic and institutional condi·tions in downtown Los Angeles which are makingjoint development of the Downtown People Moverand new private construction a reality.

Following are several examples where joint develop­ment contracts were negotiated to provide for inte­gration of the People Mover with the adjoiningbuildings:

• SECURITY PACIFIC BANK PLAZA-1972easement through building for the guideway.

• WORLD TRADE CENTER-1975easement above building for the guideway and astation.

• ANGELUS PLAZA-1977easement adjacent to building for the guidewayand a station.

• WELLS FARGO-1979integration of People station with the building'splaza level .

• CROCKER CENTER-1979easement and tunnel shell for guideway throughsubterranean garage and reconstruction of exist­tunnel under Hope Street.

These negotiated joint development agreements alsoare providing a portion of the People Mover capitalcosts, representing a true partnership between govern·ment and private enterprise.

ACTIVITY CENTERS IN THE LOS ANGELES REGION THAT AREPOTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR PEOPLE MOVERS

THE PEOPLE MOVER CAN BE REP­LICATED IN OTHER CENTERS

The economic impacts of a People Mover are signifi­cant not just because they can be achieved in down­town Los Angeles but because they can be replicatedin other activity centers. The General Plan adoptedby the Los Angeles City Council and the Los AngelesCounty General Plan set forth a public policy thatdirects growth towards numeJOUS self-containedcenters that provide a concentrated variety ofactivities. The transportation policy being initiated indowntown, with the assistance of state and federalfunding commitmen ts, represents a fiscally soundapproach to providing public transportation servicesto these centers, thereby making them in realityself-contained.

WHY THE DOWNTOWN PEOPLEMOVER?

For years urban planners have dreamed of relievingdowntown traffic congestion by implementing somesort of elevated transit system. Traffic is seen as beingin major wnmct with the single ~IJrpose of a down·town-to provide a quality environment for socialinteraction. Downtowns are for peop Ie-not for au to­mobiles. However, the dilemma has always been howto reduce downtown's dependence on the auto with­out reducing the number of people in downtown.Some cities have attempted to implement severerestrictions on autos, such as establishing auto-freezones. These attempts have generally not been success­ful unless an alternative means for access is provided.As illustrated in th is report, people movers are aviable alternative to the auto. Their characteristics aremuch more in tune with the needs of a high·densitypeople-oriented activity center. They are safe, quiet,non-polluting and unobtrusive; and they avoidconfl ict with pedestrian movement.

The Los Angeles Downtown People Mover will beeffectively linked to other elements of the regionaltransportation system. And its integration into exist­ing and new development will provide a convenient,if not exciting, means of travel for commuters andvisitors in Downtown Los Angeles.

WHY NOW?Few opportun ities arise for i0 tegrati og new pu bl icand priva te developments into one. This is particu­larly true with new technology. It took 40 years, forexample, before changes in city structures permittedthe elevator to catch on. However, downtown LosAngeles provides a unique opportunity. Over $1.35billion of new development is currently in progress.Most of this development-offices, housing, hotelsand retail establishments-will be completed in the

mid-1980's. Design and co nstr uetio n of th is develop·ment and the People Mover are being coordinated sothat the puolic and private facilities are effectivelyintegrated.

In addition the EJ Monte Busway is being extendedto the Peo~le Mover facilities at Ul1ion Station. Thisextension will be under construction soon and be­come operational in conjunction with the PeopleMover. The interrelation between the People Moverand other active public and private development givesignificance to the early completion of the project.With the commitment of -local, State and Federalfunds in hand, the City of Los Angeles will beginconstruction of the People Mover in 1980 andbegin operation in late 1983.
