Pennsylvania’s public transportation is moving toward the future, in part with additional and critically needed resources provided by Act 89 of 2013, the far-reaching funding plan that put transit on a more solid footing. The Commonwealth is very fortunate to have a world class transportation system, which adds value to the lives of millions of Pennsylvanians every day. This report shows you how transportation operates throughout our state. Innovations in public transportation help seniors travel safely to the grocery store, allow individuals to book shared ride trips online, and cost effectively get hardworking Pennsylvanians to jobs that drive our economy. This year, the Annual Performance Report reflects the advancements that have taken place, including regionalization and the implementation of cutting-edge scheduling software, solutions that streamline transportation systems and save Pennsylvanians money, while continuing to offer a superior customer product. -

This document describes the service proposals suggested by the general public, government agencies, elected officials and Authority staff, and presents the technical and financial analyses that determine whether the proposals merit implementation. The Plan includes projects for City Transit and Suburban Transit. There are no proposals for Regional Rail. This year marks the 19th Annual Service Plan and its associated planning process. This and the previous efforts reflect SEPTA’s ongoing commitment to improve the performance and productivity of transit routes and regional rail lines through careful measurement of both ridership changes and operating cost based upon a numeric scoring methodology. This method, fully described for each proposal, includes measures for revenues, operating costs, and impacts to existing riders. Additionally, each proposal must meet minimum performance standards, adopted by the SEPTA Board, prior to review within the service plan process. -

1935 - 2018 VOLUME49NUMBER8 DISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE: WWW.NRHS1.ORG AUGUST 2018 TTHE HHISISTORY OF PPHILADELPHIA''S TTRACKLESS TTROLLEYS BY JOHN CALNAN MANAGER, CITY & SERVICE PLANNING, SEPTA In the early 1920's, rubber-tired technology improved where trolley car manufacturers offered a flexible vehicle that could avoid motorists or obstacles, as well as providing transit properties a new, electric, mode that while transporting fewer passengers than a streetcar, offering frequent service without the capital outlay for trackage and equipment. Baltimore and Toronto established electric rail-less operations as experiments on two routes with the goal to spur enough development to eventually convert to streetcar operations. On October 14, 1923, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT) purchased 10 "Rail-Less" vehicles to test their effectiveness on newly created Route 80 which operated along Oregon Avenue from 22nd Street & Passyunk Avenue to Oregon & Delaware. The first generation of Rail-Less vehicles, also known as Trolley Coaches, or Trackless Trolleys resembled a trolley car than an electric bus. Initially, these vehicles operated from Jackson Depot, located on 16th Street, between Jackson and Wolf Streets, but the operation was relocated to Southern Depot in 1925. Southern Depot located on Johnston Street, between 19th and 20th Street , housed trolleys that served several crosstown and north-south lines and the facility had the space to store and maintain trackless vehicles. Ridership gradually grew as Route 80 connected South Philadelphia neighborhoods on either side of Broad Street and several north-south trolley routes to Center City and points north and west. These primitive vehicles were eventually retired and more modern, comfortable vehicles were acquired in November 1935. -

SECTION 01010 SUMMARY OF WORK PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 DESCRIPTION OF WORK A. This specification covers the rehabilitation of the Wayne Junction Static Frequency Converter (SFC) Station. The work will be executed through multiple prime contracts representing significant elements of work for each Contractor. B. The Work shall be performed concurrently and in close coordination with the respective Prime Contractors listed in these construction documents, and possibly other trades working at the site. The Contractors for this project include: 1. Contractor for General Construction Work (to be known as “General Contractor” - GC). 2. Contractor for Mechanical Construction Work (to be known as “Mechanical Contractor” - MC). 3. Contractor for Electrical Construction Work (to be known as “Electrical Contractor” - EC). 4. The EC Contractor shall be designated the Coordinating Contractor. C. A separate Contract will be awarded for the design, supply, installation supervision, testing, and commissioning of the separate SFC equipment system contract (to be known as “Static Frequency Converter Contractor” - SFCC). D. Brief Description of SEPTA’s Traction Electrification System 1. SEPTA operates a comprehensive transportation system in the Philadelphia metropolitan area and suburbs. The Regional Rail network of commuter lines is an important part of SEPTA’s service. The Regional Rail operates on tracks and systems formerly owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and the Reading Railroad (RRR). 2. The former Reading Railroad system is electrified at 36/24/12 kV, 25 Hz, single- phase, by an autotransformer system. Traction power is supplied from SEPTA’s three existing static frequency converters (SFCs) located in Wayne Junction, PA. This project program includes the addition of a fourth SFC at Wayne Junction SFC Station and the sequential replacement of the three existing Wayne Junction SFCs with three new SFCs.
