Solano Mobility Study

P 34 p Solano Transportation Authority Ch3: Existing Conditions/Transportation Inventory Business Park along Hwy 12 on weekdays.There is a relatively new Fairfield/Vacaville Hannigan train station at Peabody/Vanden Rd with daily Capitol Corridor service. At the time of the Fairfield Mobility Summit, there was not local bus service to the train station.There is now transit service to the station. A variety of private services such as regular taxis, Lyft, Uber, NEMTs, and airporter shuttle services are available along with volunteer driver programs. The Linear Park offers a protected pedestrian and bicycle route through the center of Fairfield and continues to Suisun Valley Rd.The Laurel Creek trail is a north-south off-street trail from Paradise Valley to Sunset Ave with a pedestrian crossing over Air Base Pkwy. Rio Vista Although Rio Vista is a rapidly growing city, it is still Solano’s smallest city and most isolated city with a population of 8,300. It is located along the Sacramento River, Highways 12 and 160 and about 20 miles from a larger city. Suisun City is its closest neighbor to the west and Antioch in Contra Costa County is to the south via Hwy 160. Both routes are 2 lane, undivided highways. With over a third of its population 65 and older (50% are 50 or older), Rio Vista has the highest percentage of older adults in Solano.This is due in large part to the Trilogy housing development for 55 and older households that has been developed over the past twenty years. Many of these older adults relocated from the more urbanized Bay Area and continue to have ties there. Rio Vista will continue to grow. Rio Vista has an historic waterfront downtown where most services are located. Services are understandably limited to basic services: grocery store, pharmacy, fuel, restaurants, churches, a few community services, etc.There are no medical, entertainment, significant retail or social services.The County of Solano delivers some medical services through a weekly van. Along with its significant older adult population, 13% are people with disabilities which is higher than the county average of 8%. Rio Vista’s main public transit service is delivered by the City’s Rio Vista Delta Breeze bus service. RVDB offers weekday service in town and to Isleton, Fairfield, Suisun City, Antioch, and Pittsburg/Bay Point BART. For more details, see above description. RVDB offers connections not only to BART, but also Suisun City Amtrak station, FAST local bus system and SolanoExpress intercity bus services at the Fairfield Transportation Center. Rio Vista participates in the countywide ADA subsidized taxi program. Lyft and Uber are available although their response time is longer due to vehicles typically needing to travel to Rio Vista for pick-up.
