Cambridge Service Analysis - FINAL
IBI GROUP 115 Broad Street – 5th Floor Boston MA 02110 USA tel 617 450 0701 fax 617 450 0702 Memorandum To/Attention City of Cambridge Date July 23, 2014 From IBI Group Project 36660 No cc Steno tt Subject Cambridge Service Analysis - FINAL Project Understanding Transit services in urban settings face a number of challenges due to space constraints, congestion, and delay, among other issues. The City of Cambridge engaged IBI Group to carry out an analysis of important bus routes (1, 69, 73, and 77) within the City limits to determine where these challenges are sufficient to warrant City initiatives to improve bus service, including implementing priority for buses at traffic signals (transit signal priority or TSP) or reserving space for buses only (such as queue jump lanes allowing buses to get a head start on other vehicles at traffic lights). This memorandum presents the methodology and results of that analysis. Summary of Results The results of this analysis indicate locations along the four bus routes where buses experience significant delay and/or reliability challenges. The table below identifies the ten worst ranking composite grades for travel time delay (both in terms of bus delay and passenger delay) and unreliability. For further definition of the measures used to reach these conclusions, as well as the analysis of each route identifying these areas for improvements, please see later sections of this memorandum. IBI Group is a group of firms providing professional services IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM City of Cambridge – July 23, 2014 2 Ten Worst Ranking Composite Grades Composite Route Peak Direction From To Grade Towards Mt Auburn St @ Mt Auburn St @ 73 AM F Harvard Aberdeen Ave Coolidge Ave From Mass. -
