RESOLUTION ST-117. GRANTING APPROVAL OF THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY AIRPORT SYSTEM'S SYSTEM SECURITY PLAN FOR THE AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER SYSTEM __________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
This Resolution grants Sacramento County Airport System's request for approval of its initial "Sacramento International Airport Automated People Mover System Security Plan, Final Revision 5, dated July 2010."
BACKGROUND
Commission General Order 164-D, Rules and Regulations Governing State Safety Oversight of Rail Fixed Guideway Systems, requires each Rail Fixed Guideway System to obtain Commission approval of its initial System Security Plan (SSP) before it begins revenue operations.
Sacramento County Airport System (SCAS) submitted its "Sacramento International Airport (SMF) Automated People Mover (APM) System Security Plan, Final Revision 5, dated July 2010" to Commission staff (staff) for review and requested Commission approval on August 31, 2010. The APM system will carry air passengers and airport/concessionaire staff and contractors between the new Central Terminal B and Airside Concourse B buildings and operate exclusively on the SMF property as it is intended for airline and airport employees/contractors and ticketed passengers only. The system will consist of an elevated dual-lane exclusive guideway (1100 feet per lane) with an emergency walkway between the guideways, two passenger stations with flow-through configurations (one center platform and two side platforms) located on level three of the Central Terminal building and level two of the Concourse building, a maintenance facility, a Central Control room, two equipment rooms, and a power distribution system located on the Central Terminal building. The system has been designed for two 2-car trains but will initially operate in a two 1-car train configuration. Scheduled maintenance will occur during the night period to minimize interference with passenger service. The APM system will be expanded when deemed necessary by SCAS to accommodate passenger growth.
DISCUSSION
The SSP is filed as required by General Order 164-D. Staff assisted SCAS to ensure the SSP meets the requirements of General Order 164-D. Staff reviewed the SSP using the checklist for reviewing, approving, and filing transit agency prepared system security plans and found it to be in accordance with General Order 164-D requirements. Based upon the results of this review, staff recommends that the Commission grant approval of SCAS SSP.
