Agency Progress Report: 2019 Q2 Agency Progress Report Capital Programs New (202B) and old (156A) Light Rail Vehicles coupled together for testing at the OMF. June | 2019 Prepared by Project Control & VE | Design, Engineering & Construction Management Editor’s Note Sound Transit’s Quarterly Agency Progress Report summarizes projects and major contracts status, risk, and performance for capital projects. Due to timing differences in the production of the APR and the ST financial statements, actual cost data presented in the APR may not match the quarterly financial statements. However, the actual cost data is reconciled to the financial statements on a monthly basis. We always appreciate any suggestions you might have for future refinements to this document.

  • Bombardier Manufactures a Variety of Standalone Transit Systems, Including the INNOVIA Monorail, the INNOVIA APM, and the MOVIA Light Metro
    Response to City of San Jose RFI 2019-DOT-PPD-4 New Transit Options: Airport-Diridon-Stevens Creek Transit Connection Bombardier manufactures a variety of standalone transit systems, including the INNOVIA Monorail, the INNOVIA APM, and the MOVIA Light Metro. All these systems, or a combination of these systems, could be an excellent basis for the Airport - Diridon - Steven's Creek corridor project(s). Of the three technologies, the INNOVIA Monorail appears to best address the objectives of the proposed project in that it is less expensive to construct, can be constructed more rapidly, and operates in a grade-separated, high capacity system. Ultimately the choice of technology depends on a variety of factors, most notably the planned ridership per hour, which are not available at present. As such, Bombardier has submitted information on all three technologies, and looks forward to the opportunity to discuss the best fit solution with the City of San Jose at their convenience. Bombardier anticipates that this project could be delivered as a Design-Build-Operate Maintain Finance (DBFOM) Public Private Partnership (PPP).

  • Survey of Streetcar Cities] Summaries of the Various Streetcar Projects from Around the United States
    2012 [SURVEY OF STREETCAR CITIES] SUMMARIES OF THE VARIOUS STREETCAR PROJECTS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES Introduction Streetcars are enjoying a national revival in these early years of the 21st century. As communities across the nation rediscover the charm and efficiency of this short distance transit option, they are investing in new streetcar lines or extensions of existing operations. This survey in support of The Community Streetcar Coalition (CSC) was commissioned to track important streetcar development projects, planned or underway, in major U.S. cities. Portland Streetcar Inc. funded this work with the partial proceeds of its 2005 Rudy Bruner Gold Medal Award for Urban Excellence. This survey report is a living, working document. It will be updated regularly, and shared with policymakers, opinion leaders, interested municipalities, and those involved in streetcar issues and technologies. Cities wishing to be included in subsequent iterations of this document should contact Julie Gustafson, [email protected]. The Community Streetcar Coalition The Community Streetcar Coalition was established in 2004. It is comprised of cities, transit authorities and private sector that are focused on supporting the Small Starts program and establishment of a program that supports streetcars in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and advocating with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to implement the Small Starts program.

We hope the paper assists the City and interested stakeholders in better understanding the role Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and modal integration could potentially play in the future Edmonton Metropolitan Region. As noted in this Paper, the concept and implementation of BRT, as it is applied in cities and regions across North America, ranges considerably: from increased frequency on existing bus routes right through to full-fledged high-capacity rapid transit with purpose-built vehicles on major transit corridors operating in their own exclusive right of way. This paper discusses the history of BRT, examines a number of case studies where it has been converted to Light Rail Transit (LRT), highlights the issue of integration with other modes. It also nominates three potential applications for BRT that warrant further discussion and highlights potential solutions for integrating modes at key points in the transit network, both now and in the future.
