  • Special Events and Tourism Services
    Transit Strategies SEASONAL AND SPECIAL EVENT SERVICE Public transit, and transportation in general, are often planned to serve trips that are made day- in and day-out. However, some trips are made only seasonally, and others are made to and from special events – for example, WaterFire in Providence and the Newport Jazz Festival. Seasonal and special event transit services serve these types of trips, so as to: Mitigate traffic and parking congestion Provide transportation choices that do not require use of a car Provide access for those who don’t own cars Support the local economy by providing services that encourage tourism RIPTA Beach Bus Ad Types of Services Public transit can be expanded to provide service for different types of events and recreational needs, through a variety of modes including buses, shuttles, trains, and ferries. Seasonal Destinations: At many seasonal destinations, such as Rhode Island’s beaches, peak season travel volumes are very high during the peak season but very low during the off-season. Seasonal service provides service when demand is high but not at other times. At other seasonal destinations, such as Newport, there is demand for transit year-round, but demand is much higher in the summer due to an influx of visitors, summer residents, and summer workers. Sporting and Cultural Events: Sporting and cultural events draw large crowds that create traffic and parking issues. Special event service is designed to serve specific events that draw large numbers of attendees. The special event service can be new service or more frequent service on existing routes. Transit Strategies | 1 Year-Round Tourism Services: Agencies can run shuttles or services targeted at tourists year-round, decreasing the need to rent cars while travelling.

  • Passenger Rail Primer
    Passenger Rail Primer Thurston Passenger Rail Workgroup November 2005 Passenger Rail Characteristics This document is intended as a primer introducing and familiarizing the reader with the basic definitions of passenger rail and providing a comparison of common transit services in 2005. It was developed to facilitate a discussion of passenger rail and other transit options in the Thurston Region, in preparation of a regional rail plan. In the next section, Passenger Rail Overview, the fundamental characteristics of light rail, commuter rail and intercity rail are covered. Complementary and Alternative Transit Options (primarily common bus transit choices) provides a wider transit context within which the passenger rail modes coordinate and compete. After investigating transit options individually, they are compared and contrasted in a chart of their characteristics, Summarizing the Continuum of Services. Other Rail Transit Technologies provides a brief overview of less extensively used rail options and the Appendices provide additional details and information. Additional resources the reader may want to consult include: • The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) website at www.apta.com • The Victoria Transportation Policy Institute (VTPI) website at www.vtpi.org • Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) website at www.bts.gov Passenger Rail Overview Introduction Passenger rail modes may be distinguished from one another based on a variety of characteristics – level of service, technology, right-of-way and operations. These characteristics are discussed in more detail in the other sections of this chapter. Like other transit services, however, in the most basic sense passenger rail modes break down by three distinct geographies – local, regional, and statewide or interstate.
