  • Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Finding of No Significant Impact
    Federal Transit Administration Region V LAWRENCE TO BRYN MAWR MODERNIZATION PROJECT IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) A. Introduction This document provides the basis for a determination by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project. This determination is made in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA); 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 4332(2)(c); FTA’s implementing procedures (23 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] § 771.121); Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of 1966, 49 U.S.C. § 303; and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, 54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq. FTA as the federal lead agency and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) as the local project sponsor jointly prepared the Environmental Assessment (EA) and Section 4(f) Evaluation to describe potential impacts to the human and natural environment and historic integrity that may result from the Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project on the CTA Red and Purple lines. The EA was prepared pursuant to 23 CFR § 771.119 and issued by FTA on April 29, 2015. This FONSI is prepared by FTA pursuant to 23 CFR § 771.121, and incorporates by reference the EA and other cited documentation. B. Existing Conditions The Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project is located on approximately 1.3 miles of existing rail track (the Red and Purple lines) from Leland Avenue on the south to near Ardmore Avenue on the north in the Uptown and Edgewater community areas.

  • Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Tri-State II High-Speed Rail Feasibility Study was to evaluate the potential for high-speed rail service in the Chicago-Milwaukee-Twin Cities corridor. The Midwest Regional Rail Initiative1 (MWRRI), the Base Case for Tri-State II, evaluated intermediate rail service; this study considered further improvements for a range of high-speed options. The Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) previously conducted a series of studies on regional rail options.2 Those studies, in conjunction with MWRRI results, show that high-speed service would be a viable economic investment for the region. Tri-State II evaluated incremental high speed (110 mph), high speed (150 mph) and very high speed (over 185 mph) train technologies that could be operated on various route alignments. Forecasts of ridership, revenue, operating costs and capital costs were created for the route and technology options using the RightTrack© software package.3 Ridership and revenue forecasts were developed based on travel characteristics, survey findings, and demographic statistics. After the financial return on investment was identified for each option, a Conceptual Implementation Plan was developed. TRAIN TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS MWRRI specified incremental passenger rail service (110 mph) as the base case for study. Straightening track curves to accommodate high-speed passenger trains requires significant capital costs; incremental service typically employs tilt mechanisms for passenger comfort and steerable bogies to maximize speeds around curves at relatively low levels of investment. Tri- State II followed the MWRRI study and evaluated Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) equipment as the generic representative for incremental (110 mph) service.

  • All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities): Amtrak's 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure
    All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities) Amtrak’s 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure October 2013 www.ndrn.org NDRN is the nonprofit membership organization for the federally mandated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems and Client Assistance Programs (CAP). Collectively, the P&A/CAP network is the largest provider of legally based advocacy services to people with disabilities in the United States. Cover photo courtesy of the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program Page | 2 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org A Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends, Transportation is the linchpin of community integration. Without it, many people with disabilities cannot go to work, go shopping, visit their friends and family, or accomplish many of the day-to- day tasks necessary to live in the community. Unfortunately, progress in providing accessible transportation has been slow and has required legislation and tireless and consistent advocacy. Critical pieces of federal legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Air Carrier Access Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, were necessary to start the process of breaking down the barriers to buses, trains and airplanes so that people with disabilities could use these sources of transportation daily. While many transportation providers around the country have shown that it is possible to provide accessible services for people with disabilities, one carrier – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or Amtrak – has lagged far behind. People with disabilities who travel on Amtrak have faced numerous barriers to using Amtrak. Some have faced inaccessible trains, others have been unable to purchase tickets to their destinations because the platforms and stations were inaccessible, and some have had to disembark at a station that was not their ultimate destination just so they could get off the train or out of the station.
