  • Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”
    “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018).

  • Detroit People Mover Lessons Learned from Transparent Data
    Memorandum To: Roy Taylor, MDOT From: Ericka Alexander/Oliver Lindsay, DTC Date: June 19, 2019 RE: Lessons Learned from the Transparent Data Sets (Website Optimization) Project Background In 2014, the Detroit Transportation Corporation (DTC) received a $150,000 grant administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The purpose of the grant was to create a more user-friendly website and mobile phone application for the Detroit People Mover (DPM). Following the issue of the Request for Proposal, subsequent review and selection, the project began in 2017 and was completed December 1, 2018. This memorandum will provide an overview of the lessons learned during the grant period. Website Optimization Overview The original https://www.thepeoplemover.com website launched in December 2005 with one additional upgrade 10 years later. The grant supported the adaptive design of the website and mobile app, and development of backend code to launch on various platforms, devices and browsers. The grant enables the People Mover to have a digital platform on par with other, local public transportation systems and yet distinguish and integrate the People Mover’s unique operation. The hybrid design links the content management system (CMS) to both the website and app in downtown Detroit. Use of the Website and App • Announcements and general information regarding People Mover service and operations • Wayfinding and trip planning to increase access to close mobility options, downtown accessibility and long-term density 1 • Building last-mile / first-mile connectivity via links and information to other transit agencies • Ordering transit passes online by desktop or mobile phone • Submission of standardized forms and applications, such as employment, contractor permits and advertising.

  • Woodward Avenue Streetcar Project Amended
    AMENDED RECORD OF DECISION U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Woodward Avenue Streetcar Project Detroit, Michigan Decision In accordance with 23 CFR part 771, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has determined that the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 have been satisfied for the Woodward Avenue Streetcar Project (the Project) sponsored by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The Project is a 3.3-mile, fixed-rail, at-grade streetcar system located entirely within the right-of- way of Woodward Avenue in the City of Detroit. It would operate in mixed traffic and run from Larned Street in downtown Detroit north to Chandler Street/ Delaware Street, north of Grand Boulevard, in the New Center district. This FTA Record of Decision (ROD) applies to the Streetcar Alternative described and evaluated in the Supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project, signed February 1, 2013. The EA supplements the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Woodward Avenue Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project, signed June 1, 2011. This Amended ROD replaces the ROD issued August 31, 2011 for the LRT Project. Neither the Supplemental EA nor this Amended ROD constitutes an FTA commitment to provide financial assistance for the Project. Background The Streetcar Alternative is substantially similar to an alternative studied as part of the FEIS for the Woodward Avenue LRT Project. The FEIS evaluated four alternatives for building a 9.3- mile LRT system on Woodward Avenue from downtown Detroit north to the Michigan State Fairgrounds near 8 Mile Road. These alternatives included two options for how transit service would run along the main portion of Woodward Avenue and three design options focused on service downtown within the central business district.
