Acuaexpreso es un sistema de transportación pública en el Área Metropolitana de San Juan cuyo funcionamiento no está cumpliendo completamente con las expectativas de integración a la Alternativa de Transporte Integrado (ATI). La mejora operacional del Acuaexpreso es importante para así proveerle al sistema de transportación pública en el AMSJ una mejor integración intermodal, con rutas no atendidas por otros medios. Un sistema funcional, confiable y atractivo de transportación marítima en la Bahía de San Juan le proveerá a los ciudadanos una ruta expreso hacia el Viejo San Juan, así sea desde Cataño o Hato Rey. Siendo este un sistema que no necesita utilizar una vía compartida con el automóvil, se destaca la ventaja sobre otros medios de transportación colectiva. Resulta indispensable que los componentes de Acuaexpreso alcancen una calidad comparable al Tren Urbano para lograr una integración intermodal efectiva. Esta investigación se enfoca en la evaluación de varios aspectos dentro del sistema de Acuaexpreso. Durante el proceso de investigación sobre el sistema se evaluaron varios posibles temas de investigación como: análisis de costos e ingresos, evaluación de recursos humanos, evaluación de embarcaciones, conexión de Acuaexpreso con otros métodos y desarrollo de terminales. Se seleccionó el desarrollo del terminal Hato Rey y sus alrededores como tema de este trabajo. Finalmente, se encontró un diseño preliminar de la visión que tienen algunos inversionistas privados y el gobierno para el desarrollo de la zona aledaña al Terminal de Acuaexpreso en Hato Rey. i Mejoras a la Infraestructura Aledaña al Acuaexpreso: Terminal Hato Rey Debido a que este diseño conceptual cumple con las premisas de desarrollo de los investigadores, se decidió utilizarlo como diseño base para este estudio. El estudio tiene tres objetivos: evaluación y el rediseño del Paseo Lineal, mejora a la circulación peatonal en la zona, y el rediseño de la estructura del Terminal Hato Rey. De estos objetivos solo la evaluación y el rediseño del Paseo Lineal se logro completar debido a la limitación de tiempo y la dificultad de conseguir una metodología adecuada para evaluar el Paseo Lineal. Las actividades realizadas consistieron en estimar y evaluar cual sería el impacto que tendrían los desarrollos propuestos al flujo peatonal y ciclista en el Paseo Lineal de San Juan. También dentro de este informe se presentan posibles mejoras al diseño adoptado. ii Mejoras a la Infraestructura Aledaña al Acuaexpreso: Terminal Hato Rey TABLA DE CONTENIDO I.

  • TSD: Chapter 36 Final Round 3 Area Designations for the 2010 1-Hour
    Technical Support Document: Chapter 36 Final Round 3 Area Designations for the 2010 1-Hour SO2 Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Puerto Rico 1. Summary Pursuant to section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA, we, or us) must designate areas as either “nonattainment,” “attainment,” or “unclassifiable” for the 2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary national ambient air quality 1 standard (NAAQS) (2010 SO2 NAAQS). Our Notice of Availability (NOA) and our Technical Support Document2 (TSD) for our intended designations for the round of designations we are required to complete by December 31, 2017, provided background on the relevant CAA definitions and the history of the designations for this NAAQS. Chapter 1 of this TSD for the final designations explains the definitions we are applying in the final designations. The TSD for the intended Round 3 area designations also described Puerto Rico’s recommended designations, assessed the available relevant monitoring, modeling, and any other information, and provided our intended designations. This TSD for the final Round 3 area designations for Puerto Rico addresses any change in Puerto Rico’s recommended designations since we communicated our intended designations for areas in Puerto Rico. It also provides our assessment of additional relevant information that were submitted too close to the signature of the NOA to have been considered in our intended designations, or that have been submitted by Puerto Rico or other parties since the publication of the NOA. This TSD does not repeat information contained in the TSD for our intended designations except as needed to explain our assessment of the newer information and to make clear the final action we are taking and its basis, but that information is incorporated as part of our final designations.

  • Feasibility of Implementing a PR-181 Busway in the Trujillo Alto Area An
    Feasibility of Implementing a PR-181 Busway in the Trujillo Alto Area An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by John Benigno Eric Gebrian Kevin Reidy Michael Seabrook Submitted to Project Advisors Prof. J. Scott Jiusto Prof. Lauren Mathews Project Liaisons, Autoridad de Carreteras y Transportacion Mr. Gabriel Rodríguez Fernández Mrs. Martha Bravo Colunga Date: May 5, 2005 [email protected] i Executive Summary The metropolitan region of San Juan, Puerto Rico is struggling with the integration of the mass transportation system and the surrounding municipalities. The problem facing San Juan is very complex, ranging from unsafe and inadequate pedestrian ways, to an under-developed mass transit system. These conditions lower the quality of life throughout the region, making it difficult for people to enjoy the area. The municipality of Trujillo Alto is one such area that is facing these problems. The implementation of a dedicated bus lane, or Busway, along the PR-181 corridor of Trujillo Alto is a possible starting point for an overall solution. The goal of this study is to identify issues relevant to the implementation of a Busway along the PR-181 corridor of Trujillo Alto and develop preliminary concepts for its design. Understanding potential issues that could arise with the construction of a Busway, is critical in the planning and design process. These issues impact the physical design of the system, modifications and/or reconstruction of roadways, price of the project, potential ridership, and overall time for completion of project.

  • Audit of the Tren Urbano Rail Transit Project
    AUDIT OF THE TREN URBANO RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT Federal Transit Administration Report Number: MH-2004-098 Date Issued: September 29, 2004 Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Report on the Follow-Up Audit of the Date: September 29, 2004 Tren Urbano Rail Transit Project Federal Transit Administration MH-2004-098 From: Alexis M. Stefani Reply to Attn. of: JA-40 Principal Assistant Inspector General for Auditing and Evaluation To: Federal Transit Administrator This report presents the results of our third audit of the Tren Urbano Rail Transit Project (Tren Urbano) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We are providing our findings and recommendations to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), so it may resolve the issues identified in this report before making further Federal funding decisions concerning Tren Urbano. Tren Urbano is being constructed by the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA). It is a 10.7-mile (17.2 km) fixed-guideway rail transit system that will serve existing and projected development within San Juan’s metropolitan area. Tren Urbano will include 16 stations, a vehicle maintenance and storage facility, 74 rail cars, operations control center, traction power, train control, and communications systems. The project is expected to provide a solution to the continually rising vehicle traffic levels and bring a new mode of transportation to the most congested sections of the San Juan metropolitan area. Since 1990, the number of registered vehicles in Puerto Rico has increased at an average annual rate of 2.89 percent; this is 2.13 percent more than the population growth rate.
