    Ana Torres November 3, 2011 Assignment 5: Basic queries MBTA Red Line Repairs Starting next Saturday (November 5, 2011) and until March 4, 2012, the MBTA will close the Red Line north of Harvard Square on weekends to complete $80 million in repairs designed to keep trains from derailing due to eroded tracks and power lines caused by leaks in the tunnel. The service will be replaced with shuttle buses. According to an article from the Boston Globe by Eric Moskowitz on October 22, 2011, about 21,200 riders on Saturday and 14,200 on Sunday board the Red Line at Porter, Davis and Alewife stations, meaning over 35,000 commuters will be affected weekly in the five-month shutdown period. The MBTA has come up with its next commuter nightmare. On weekends starting November 5, Red Line trains north of Harvard Square due to tunnel repairs. According to an article from the Boston Globe, the $80 million project will serve to keep trains from derailing These events are a perfect opportunity to reanalyze the profile of the users of the MBTA. Having a clearer idea of the sociodemographic profile and the patterns of use of transportation of the people that will be affected by this project will help to have a better assessment of the true cost of the project, that it, not only the monetary cost of the infrastructure but counting the social cost of the project as well. For this, a map that relates different characteristics of the population and their transportation information will result extremely useful.

FOREWORD On March 16, 1972, the President sent a special message to Congress wherein he called "for a strong new effort to marshal! science and technology in the work of strengthening our economy and improving the quality of our life." In this message he stated that in the final analysis," the progress we seek requires a new partnership in science and technology-­ one which brings together the Federal Government, private enterprise, State and local governments, and our universities and research centers in a coordinated, cooperative effort to serve the national interest." As part of its ongoing commitment to this principle of technology-sharing, the U.S. Department of Transportation has initiated a series of publications based on research and development efforts sponsored by the Department. The series comprises technical reports, state-of-the-art documents, newsletters and bulletins, manuals and handbooks, bibliographies, and other special publications. All share a primary objective: to contri­ bute to a better base of knowledge and understanding throughout the transportation community, and, thereby, to an improvement in the basis for decision-making within the community. This title in the series presents an overview of demand responsive transportation, an innovative approach that may help fill the need for flexibility in public transportation.
