Implementation Plan MBTA Revision 7 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 MBTA HISTORY AND OVERVIEW The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), often referred to as “The T”, is a body politic and corporate, and a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts formed in 1964 to finance and operate bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in the greater Boston, Massachusetts, area. The MBTA General Manager is the administrator of rail and transit for MassDOT. A third party contractor, currently Keolis Commuter Services (KCS), operates and maintains the MBTA’s Commuter Rail Service. The MBTA's Commuter Rail system is the fifth-busiest commuter rail in the country, after only New York and Chicago area systems. The lines go as far south as Providence, Rhode Island, and as far north as Newburyport. And they run as far west as Worcester, and Fitchburg Massachusetts. The trains have two terminal stops in Boston (South Station and North Station). Both transportation hubs offer connections to Amtrak, local bus and subway lines. Figure 1-1 shows the composite MBTA Commuter Rail System Map.

This report is intended as a tool for municipalities to use as they move forward with their TOD efforts. The report identifies the range of TOD opportunities at station areas within the corridor that could result from improvements to the Danbury Branch. By also providing information regarding FTA guidelines and TOD best practices, this report serves as a reference and a guide for future TOD efforts in the Danbury Branch study corridor. Specifically, this report presents a definition of TOD and the elements of TOD that are relevant to the Danbury Branch. It also presents a summary of FTA Guidance regarding TOD and includes case studies of FTA-funded projects that have been rated with respect to their livability, land use, and economic development components. Additionally, the report examines commuter rail projects both in and out of Connecticut that are considered to have applications that may be relevant to the Danbury Branch.
