  • 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 Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit?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).

  • CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
    CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

  • 2020 FMCB Annual Report
    2020 FMCB Annual Report This report fulfills the requirements of Section 207 of Chapter 46 of the Acts of 2015 specifying that the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB) report annually on, among other things, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s “own-source revenue, operating budget, capital plan and progress toward meeting performance metrics and targets.” This final report is presented to the Legislature after five and a half years of governance by the FMCB, with just under six months left in our extended term. 2020 was an extraordinary year, marked by an unprecedented global pandemic, nationwide protests, political and racial tensions, and substantial changes in the ways we live and work. Due to the widespread adoption of teleworking and the closure of hotels, restaurants, and other sectors to slow the spread of COVID-19, MBTA ridership fell sharply. By the end of October, Commuter Rail ridership was down 87% compared to 2019, with the system carrying only 8.5% of its pre- COVID morning peak ridership. Ferry ridership stood at 12% of pre-COVID ridership, with the MBTA paying to operate 112 trips daily with an average of seven riders per trip. Ridership at gated rapid transit (subway) stations was still roughly one-quarter of pre-COVID levels. Even bus ridership, which serves our most durable, transit-dependent customers, had fallen to about 45% of the baseline by October. This decline in ridership, of course, had significant implications for own source revenue. In November 2020, fare revenues were down 78% compared to November 2019. Parking and advertising revenues dropped in line with fares, while real estate revenues remained more stable.

  • Green Line Extension Profile
    Green Line Extension Cambridge to Medford, Massachusetts (January 2020) The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) are jointly constructing an extension to the existing Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) route from a relocated Lechmere Station in Cambridge to College Avenue in Medford and Union Square in Somerville. The Green Line Extension (GLX) will operate on the exclusive right-of-way of the MBTA Commuter Rail System, adjacent to existing commuter rail service. The project includes six at-grade stations and one elevated station; 3.7 miles of at-grade guideway and one mile of elevated guideway; reconstruction of eight bridge structures to maintain grade separation on the route; and the purchase of 24 light rail vehicles. The GLX project will improve mobility for residents of Cambridge, Somerville and Medford by providing a one-seat transit ride to Downtown Boston and the greater Boston metropolitan area. It will serve some of the region’s most densely populated communities not currently served by rail transit. Approximately 75,300 residents live within one-half mile of proposed stations, 26 percent of whom do not own or have access to an automobile. The project will reduce transit travel time in the project corridor by approximately 13 to 17 minutes because it will be built on fully grade-separated right- of-way through congested built-up neighborhoods, eliminating the need for passengers to make bus-to- rail transfers. Hours of operation in the opening year will be from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on weekdays and weekends.
