It operates as a deep-level subway in downtown Pittsburgh, but operates mostly at a level in the suburbs south of the city. The system is largely linear toward the north-south, with one term north of Pittsburgh's central business district and two terms in the South Hills. The system is owned and operated by the Allegheny County Port Authority. It is the successor to a network of trams formerly operated by the Pittsburgh Railroad, the oldest parts of which date back to 1903. Pittsburgh light rail lines are rudimentary from city tram and is one of three light rail systems in the United States that continue to use Pennsylvania trolleybus (wide) rail gauges on their lines rather than the 4 foot 8 1⁄2's (1435 mm) standard sensor.

  • Rail Monitoring from the Dynamic Response of a Passenger Train
    Rail monitoring from the dynamic response of a passenger train George Lederman1, Jacobo Bielak1, and Hae Young Noh1 1 Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, {G. Lederman [email protected], J. Bielak [email protected], H.Noh [email protected]} ABSTRACT: In this case study, we monitor Pittsburgh’s light rail-network from sensors placed on passenger trains, as a more economical monitoring approach than either visual inspection or inspection with dedicated track vehicles. Over time, we learn how the trains respond to each section of track, then use a data-driven approach to detect changes to the track condition relative to its historical baseline. We instrumented the first train in Fall 2012, and the second train in Summer 2015. We have been continuously collecting data on the trains’ position using GPS and their dynamic response using accelerometers; in addition, we have the track maintenance logs from the light-rail operator. As a validation of our system, we have been able to detect changes in the tracks, which correspond to known maintenance activity. Test Structure and Measured Data Our effective “test structure” is Pittsburgh’s 30km light-rail track network. This network has been pieced together over more than a century; the variety of assets in the system makes it a good test-bed. The network includes bridges, viaducts and tunnels, as well as both street running track and ballasted track. In addition, given Pittsburgh’s temperate climate, we have observed temperatures lower than -20oC and higher than 35oC. a b accelerometer c d e accelerometer Figure 1: Sensor Locations for (a) the train instrumented in 2012.

It found that most of the metro systems around the world are not financially viable. Public investment in rail transit has long been controversial (Wenling, 2006) Failures of rail projects to materialize the targeted performance in terms of ridership speed, operating costs, and development benefits, on which grounds they had been justified (Pickrell ,1989) Anticipated project objectives are moderately met but at very high costs.

    SOUTH HILLS TRANSIT REVITALIZATION INVESTMENT DISTRICT PLANNING STUDY Prepared for: ALLEGHENY COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT In Partnership with: BOROUGH OF DORMONT MT. LEBANON MUNICIPALITY PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY Prepared by: DMJM+HARRIS, Inc. MAY 2008 This Project was financed in part by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Community and Economic Development FOREWORD Allegheny County Department of Economic Development (ACED) has received a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to perform a planning study to investigate potential development opportunities in the vicinity of the Potomac and Dormont Junction Light Rail Transit (LRT) Stations in the Borough of Dormont and the Mt. Lebanon LRT Station in the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon. The grant is made possible through Act 238 of 2004 passed by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and known as the Transit Revitalization Investment Act or the TRID Enabling Act (“the Act”). Allegheny County has partnered with the Borough of Dormont, the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon and the Port Authority of Allegheny County to undertake the management of a multi-municipal TRID Planning Study covering the three LRT stations. The Study began in June 2007 and was completed in May 2008. The Act allows local units of governments and transportation agencies to create Transit Revitalization Investment Districts (TRIDs) for the purpose of spurring “transit-oriented development, community revitalization, and enhanced community character around public transit facilities in communities across the Commonwealth”. The legislation also provides for the establishment of “value capture” areas in which additional tax revenues generated within the TRID may be applied to the public transportation capital improvements, related site development improvements, and maintenance.

  • Operating a Bus Rapid Transit System
    APTA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM APTA-BTS-BRT-RP-007-10 RECOMMENDED PRACTICE Approved October, 2010 American Public Transportation Association APTA BRT Operations Working 1666 K Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20006-1215 Group Operating a Bus Rapid Transit System Abstract: This Recommended Practice provides guidance for operational considerations for bus rapid transit systems. Keywords: bus rapid transit (BRT), operations Summary: BRT is a suite of elements that create a high-quality rapid transit experience using rubber-tired vehicles. This experience often includes a high degree of performance (especially speed and reliability), ease of use, careful attention to aesthetics and comprehensive planning that includes associated land uses. BRT seeks to meet or exceed these characteristics through the careful application of selected elements. Scope and purpose: The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to planners, transit agencies, local governments, developers and others interested in operating a BRT systems or enhancing existing BRT systems. This Recommended Practice is part of a series of APTA documents covering the key elements that may comprise a BRT system. Because BRT elements perform best when working together as a system, each Recommended Practice may refer to other documents in the series. Agencies are advised to review all relevant guidance documents for their selected elements. This Recommended Practice represents a common viewpoint of those parties concerned with its provisions, namely, transit operating/planning agencies, manufacturers, consultants, engineers and general interest groups. The application of any standards, practices or guidelines contained herein is voluntary. In some cases, federal and/or state regulations govern portions of a rail transit system’s operations.

  • 2016 Before-And-After Studies Report to Congress
    Before-and-After Studies of New Starts Projects Report to Congress March 2017 Prepared by: Office of Planning and Environment Federal Transit Administration U.S. Department of Transportation www.transit.dot.gov 2 FOREWORD This eighth annual report to Congress on Before-and-After Studies summarizes the findings for three projects that opened to service in 2011 and 2012, presented in order of their opening date: 1. Mid-Jordan Light Rail Project; Salt Lake City, UT (August 2011) 2. Northshore Connector Light Rail Project; Pittsburgh, PA (March 2012) 3. Streetcar Loop Project; Portland, OR (September 2012) Before-and-After Studies help sponsoring agencies and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to accumulate insights into the actual costs and impacts of major capital transit investments and to evaluate the accuracy of the predictions of the costs and impacts made for these projects. Each Before-and-After Study documents the actual outcomes of a New Starts or Small Starts project in five dimensions: physical scope, capital costs, transit service levels, operating and maintenance costs, and ridership. To support this part of the study, project sponsors collect data on actual conditions before and after implementation of the project. The “before” data collection occurs before any impacts of the project are realized – soon before the project opens to service or, in some cases, before project construction disrupts transit service and ridership in the corridor. The “after” data collection for physical scope and capital costs occurs immediately after project opening. The “after” data collection for changes in transit service, operating and maintenance costs, and ridership occurs two years after the project opens in order to permit conditions to stabilize.
