  • Syracuse Transit System Analysis
    Syracuse Transit System Analysis Prepared For: NYSDOT CENTRO Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council January 2014 The I‐81 Challenge Syracuse Transit System Analysis This report has been prepared for the New York State Department of Transportation by: Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Prudent Engineering In coordination with: Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (CENTRO) Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council The I‐81 Challenge Executive Summary of the Syracuse Transit System Analysis I. Introduction The Syracuse Transit System Analysis (STSA) presents a summary of the methodology, evaluation, and recommendations that were developed for the transit system in the Syracuse metropolitan area. The recommendations included in this document will provide a public transit system plan that can be used as a basis for CENTRO to pursue state and federal funding sources for transit improvements. The study has been conducted with funding from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) through The I‐81 Challenge study, with coordination from CENTRO, the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council (SMTC), and through public outreach via The I‐81 Challenge public participation plan and Study Advisory Committee (SAC). The recommendations included in this system analysis are based on a combination of technical analyses (alternatives evaluation, regional modeling), public survey of current transit riders and non‐riders/former riders, meetings with key community representatives, and The I‐81 Challenge public workshops. The STSA is intended to serve as a long‐range vision that is consistent with the overall vision of the I‐81 corridor being developed as part of The I‐81 Challenge. The STSA will present a series of short‐term, mid‐term, and long‐ term recommendations detailing how the Syracuse metropolitan area’s transit system could be structured to meet identified needs in a cost‐effective manner.

  • 3. Performance Measures
    Airport Metro Connector Technical Refinement Study of Alternatives Phase I – AA/DEIS/DEIR Final 3. PERFORMANCE MEASURES The Technical Refinement Study utilizes performance measures similar to those presented in the 2012 AA Report. Table 3-1 summarizes the detailed performance measures for the following evaluation criteria: Passenger Convenience and Travel Time – Transfers and vertical changes inform an understanding of the quality of the Metro passenger experience. This is supplemented by an assessment of systemwide travel times, which strongly influence the overall attractiveness of transit compared to other modes. Environmental Factors – An initial environmental screening will identify the potential short-term construction impacts and long-term operational impacts associated with each alternative. Compatibility with Other Projects – Integration with future transit and airport plans is paramount in ensuring the project is compatible with future Metro and LAWA goals. Engineering/Physical Feasibility – The physical constructability of each alternative will be determined to ensure that the alternatives fit within acceptable parameters for utility and construction disruption, and airport constraints. Cost and Financial Feasibility – Capital construction costs for each alternative, which will include the construction of the guideway, stations, vehicles, and supporting facilities, determine the potential fiscal impacts of each alternative. As noted previously, the AMC project only has approximately $200 million allocated as part of Measure

  • 2010 Year in Review from the General Manger
    2010 Year in Review From the General Manger UTA marked its 40th anniversary in 2010. I am honored to have been part of UTA for more than 30 of those years. I remember when we were a small, 67-bus operation with one garage. Now we are a vibrant, multimodal transit system serving six counties with 118 bus routes, 20 miles of TRAX light rail lines and 44 miles of FrontRunner commuter rail. Despite the current economic challenges, I have never been more excited about our future. We're working hard to place a major transit stop within reach of every resident in the counties we serve. We are even closer to that goal with the FrontLines 2015 program, which will add 25 miles of light rail in Salt Lake County and 45 miles of FrontRunner commuter rail in Salt Lake and Utah counties. In 2010 we completed more than half of the FrontLines 2015 program and announced the openings of the Mid-Jordan and West Valley TRAX lines for summer 2011. We're on track to complete the rest of the lines in this massive project by 2015, as promised. None of these major projects would be possible without the support of community members along the Wasatch Front. So as we celebrate 40 years of service, remember our best years are yet to come. Warm Regards, Michael Allegra General Manager Utah Transit Authority 2010 Progress Frontlines 2015 Progress in 2010 FrontLines 2015 Progress UTA has been busy constructing the largest transit Line Percent Complete project in its history—the $2.8 billion FrontLines 2015 FrontRunner South 74 project—making significant progress in 2010.

  • Rails to Real Estate Development Patterns Along
    Rails to Real Estate Development Patterns along Three New Transit Lines March 2011 About This Study Rails to Real Estate was prepared by the Center for Transit-Oriented Development (CTOD). The CTOD is the only national nonprofit effort dedicated to providing best practices, research and tools to support market- based development in pedestrian-friendly communities near public transportation. We are a partnership of two national nonprofit organizations – Reconnecting America and the Center for Neighborhood Technology – and a research and consulting firm, Strategic Economics. Together, we work at the intersection of transportation planning, regional planning, climate change and sustainability, affordability, economic development, real estate and investment. Our goal is to help create neighborhoods where young and old, rich and poor, can live comfortably and prosper, with affordable and healthy lifestyle choices and ample and easy access to opportunity for all. Report Authors This report was prepared by Nadine Fogarty and Mason Austin, staff of Strategic Economics and CTOD. Additional support and assistance was provided by Eli Popuch, Dena Belzer, Jeff Wood, Abigail Thorne-Lyman, Allison Nemirow and Melissa Higbee.

  • B. Approval of Exchange of Property at Congress Heights Station
    Planning, Program Development and Real Estate Committee Item IV- B May 8, 2014 Approval of Exchange of Property at Congress Heights Station with the District of Columbia Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary MEAD Number: Action Information Resolution: 200751 Yes No TITLE: Exchange of Property at Congress Heights Metro PRESENTATION SUMMARY: To request Board approval for an exchange of property interests between the District of Columbia and Metro at the north entrance of the Congress Heights Metro station. PURPOSE: To request Board approval for an exchange of property interests between the District of Columbia and Metro at the north entrance of the Congress Heights Metro station in order for Metro to acquire fee simple interest to the land under a portion of its facilities and to allow the District to redesign the street grid immediately west of the station area. DESCRIPTION: Metro and the District of Columbia have agreed in principle to the redesign of the access to the north entrance of the Congress Heights station in conjunction with the District's redevelopment of its property immediately west of the station. As part of the project, the District will convey to Metro full legal ownership of the land under a portion of Metro's facilities at that entrance and Metro will convey a portion of its property to the District in order to facilitate the new street grid. Key Highlights: The exchange of property interests will formally complete the acquisition of full property interests for Metro at the north entrance of Congress Heights station Background and History: When Metro opened the Congress Heights Metro station as part of the opening of the last phase of the Green Line in 2001, Metro did not have full legal rights to the property on the north entrance to the station.
