  • Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021 April 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission (the Commission) to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

  • Transit Service Enhancements Analysis
    Feasibility Study I-95 Corridor Branford to Rhode Island November 2003 Transit Service Enhancements Analysis Prepared for: Clough, Harbour & Associates LLP 2139 Silas Deane Highway Suite 212 Rocky Hill, CT 06067 Prepared by: PARSONS 655 Winding Brook Drive Glastonbury, CT 06033 Transit Service Enhancements Analysis 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report describes an analysis of potential transit service improvements in the I-95 corridor between Branford (Exit 54) and the Rhode Island state line. The analysis was intended to determine whether a set of in-state transit improvements could serve as a stand-alone alternative to adding capacity along I-95 to relieve summer Friday peak hour traffic congestion. The analysis was based upon the following: · Application of the state’s existing transportation demand estimation model as the basic tool for forecasting the year 2025 diversion of normal weekday travelers to transit. This application is consistent with the data developed for the remainder of the Feasibility Study. · Application of a methodology developed to estimate additional potential diversion for summer Fridays, especially for visitors to Southeastern Connecticut. These leisure travelers are not explicitly represented in the state’s weekday model. · The analysis concentrated on the summer Friday peak hour travel period. This application is consistent with the focus of the remainder of the Feasibility Study. · The modifications considered for transit would be limited to those that could be reasonably achievable within the State’s resources and jurisdiction. In effect, this focused on transit services within the state of Connecticut, and excluded both reconstruction and significant modifications to Amtrak’s Shore Line between New Haven and Rhode Island, and service or pricing strategies on interstate common carriers.

  • 2010 NEC Infrastructure Master Plan
    [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] March 24, 2010 Thomas Carper Joseph H. Boardman Chairman of the Board President and Chief Executive Officer National Railroad Passenger Corporation National Railroad Passenger Corporation 60 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E. 60 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E. Washington, DC 20002 Washington, DC 20002 Dear Messrs. Carper and Boardman: As members of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor (NEC) Infrastructure Master Plan Policy Group, the twelve northeast states and the District of Columbia have worked cooperatively and collaboratively with Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to develop and review the Amtrak Northeast Corridor Railroad Infrastructure Master Plan (Master Plan). Started in 2007 and refined over three years, the Master Plan is a first. It is the first passenger rail infrastructure plan to incorporate a regional, corridor-wide perspective of the NEC Main Line and all its feeder lines. It is the first planning process to involve all the northeast states and the District of Columbia with Amtrak. It is the first to consider the plans and infrastructure needs of all the NEC users – intercity, commuter and freight. This foundational document identifies an initial baseline of infrastructure improve ments needed to maintain the current NEC system in a state of good repair; integrate intercity, commuter and freight service plans; and move the NEC forward to meet the expanded service, reliability, frequency, and trip time improvements that are envisioned by the northeast states and the District. Therefore, we are pleased to endorse the collaborative planning process and Amtrak’s Infrastructure Master Plan Final Report. The Master Plan is the first in a series of planning activities that must be undertaken if an expanded NEC – as part of an integrated, intermodal regional transportation system – is to support future economic growth and environmental and energy goals.

    Gov. Malloy Announces State Grants to Encourage Transit-Oriented Development and R... Page 1 of 4 CONNECTICUT'S OFFICIAL STATE WEBSITE (/) Press Releases Wednesday, June 08, 2016 Gov. Malloy Announces State Grants to Encourage Transit-Oriented Development and Responsible Growth Across Connecticut Twenty Projects to Receive Nearly $11 Million for Projects that Will Generate Economic Activity, Create Jobs (HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that twenty projects in towns and cities across Connecticut will receive nearly $11 million in funding under a competitive grant program that will support transit-oriented development and responsible growth, targeted at boosting economic activity and creating jobs. The grants come under the state's Responsible Growth and Transit-Oriented Development Grant Program, which is administered by the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) and relies on a combination of funding from the Responsible Growth Incentive Fund and the Transit-Oriented Development and Pre-development Fund. "Investing in transportation is critical. Transportation and the future of our economy are fundamentally linked. Our focus is on not only improving overall quality of life for residents in these areas, but also encouraging economic development by making our towns and cities more accessible," Governor Malloy said. "These grants will help us take another step towards making our state more competitive." "The grants announced today will make Connecticut a better place to live, work, and compete in the 21st Century. These projects will improve pedestrian connections, increase multimodal transportation options, encourage infill development and discourage sprawl. And they complement the historic investments being made in public transit under the Let's Go CT! initiative," OPM Secretary Ben Barnes said.
