  • 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.

  • Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project
    Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project PROJECT OVERVIEW The Maurice J. Tobin Memorial Bridge and the Chelsea Viaduct (U.S. Route 1) are undergoing rehabilitation in order to remain safe and in service through the 21st Century. Not subject to major rehabilitation since the 1970’s due to concern for regional mobility, work must be undertaken now to ensure this vital roadway link can continue to serve Massachusetts and New England. When complete, this project will remove 15% of the structurally defcient bridge deck in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In order to minimize the impacts to the 63,000 vehicles per day using Route 1, the MBTA Bus Routes that cross the viaduct and bridge, and the residents of Chelsea, MassDOT is coordinating the two projects, and resequencing the construction phasing for each project so that construction is carried out efciently, efectively, and in a timely manner. These changes will lessen the impact on commuters and abutters, and reduces the risk of project delays. Massachusetts residents see these two projects as one, and so does MassDOT. CHANGES TO PROJECT SEQUENCING Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves work has been resequenced to reduce nighttime operations and travel impacts for all bridge users. The new construction plan shifts work on the Chelsea Viaduct to 2019 to match Tobin Bridge trafc management, continuously allowing 2 lanes of travel in each direction during peak commute hours for the duration of the project. Overall these changes will speed up construction, increase the availability of two travel lanes in each direction, reduce the impacts on commuters using the corridor, and allow for main line work completion in 2020.

  • Appendix a Northeast Corridor: Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions
    Appendix A Northeast Corridor: Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions BACKGROUND EXISTING CONDITIONS The Northeast Corridor extends from the Boston Harbor to Merrimac, Amesbury, and Salisbury bor- dering New Hampshire north of the Merrimack River. The corridor includes eight cities, 24 towns, and East Boston (a neighborhood of Boston), including Logan Airport. In the Northeast Corridor is found the historic factory city of Lynn, as well as the maritime communities of Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, Gloucester, and Newburyport. Large swaths of the corridor north of Cape Ann are protected marine estuaries. The MBTA offers rapid transit, bus, and commuter rail services across much of this corridor. The Blue Line has eight stations from Maverick Square in East Boston to Wonderland in Revere. The Blue Line also has a stop serving Logan Airport, from which dedicated free Massport shuttle buses circulate to all air terminals. MBTA Blue Line service to Logan Airport has recently been supplemented by the popular Silver Line bus rapid transit service from South Station. Maverick and Wonderland Stations both serve as major bus hubs, though some important services operate from other stations, notably buses to Winthrop from Orient Heights operated by Paul Revere Transportation under contract to the MBTA. MBTA buses also serve the corridor communities of Chelsea, Saugus, Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Peabody, Beverly and Danvers. Many MBTA buses in this corridor operate all the way to Haymarket Station, in Boston Proper. These routes use the I-90 Ted Williams Tunnel, Route 1A Sumner Tunnel, or U.S. Route 1 Tobin Bridge. Because these routes use the regional express highways, they are able to provide a high level of service.

  • Red / Blue Line Connector Assessment – Land Use, Population, and Ridership Memo 2 2
    SUMMARY MEMORANDUM: POPULATION, LAND USE, AND RIDERSHIP CHANGES UPDATE TO THE 2010 DEIR FOR THE RED LINE/BLUE LINE CONNECTOR Published October 2018 1. Introduction In 2010, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the connection of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) Red Line and Blue Line in Boston. The Red/Blue Line Connector Project consisted of extending the Blue Line beyond its current terminus at Bowdoin Station along Cambridge Street to the Red Line at Charles/ MGH Station. In March 2010, MassDOT submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). In May 2010, MEPA approved the DEIR. At the time, MassDOT had not identified funding for the construction of the Project. Recent changes in development and growth in Revere, East Boston, and Cambridge, as well as advancements in construction technologies, have generated a renewed interest in revisiting the need for the Red/Blue Line Connector. MassDOT’s Office of Transportation and Planning (OTP), working with the MBTA, has initiated a study to reassess the Project by revisiting previous assumptions developed during the 2010 DEIR. The purpose of this memorandum is to update the data and assumptions regarding population, land use, and ridership from the 2010 DEIR’s Purpose and Need. The 2010 DEIR focused primarily on four Census tracks surrounding the Cambridge Street corridor project area. However, due to their current access to the Blue and Red lines, the communities in this area would likely not have a large effect on demand for and use of the connection.

  • CHAPTER 5 Priorities for Achieving a State of Good Repair
    CHAPTER 5 Priorities for Achieving a State of Good Repair To achieve a state of good repair (SGR), infrastructure assets must be replaced as safety standards or obsolescence dictates. Once a state of good repair has been achieved, the most effective way to sustain the optimum performance of these assets is preventive maintenance. Deferring maintenance, even for a short time, accelerates the degradation of infrastructure assets. Proper attention to main- tenance can greatly extend useful life and reduce costs overall. In addition, proper maintenance is critical for providing safe and reliable service. The key components of a successful, ongoing preventive maintenance program include adequate personnel and the tools, equipment, and materials necessary to complete maintenance tasks within a reasonable time frame. It is imperative that these resources be made available in order for the MBTA to maintain efficient and safe operations that meet the needs of the riding public. The following discussion surveys the categories of the MBTA’s infrastructure assets, describing the status of each and highlighting the most important capital investments that will need to be made during the time frame of this PMT to bring the system into SGR. A more comprehensive list of SGR needs can be found in Appendix H. In addition to the currently identified SGR projects, it is anticipat- ed that prior to 2030 many capital assets presently in serviceable condition will reach end-of-life and require replacement. PRIORITIES FOR ACHIEVING A ST A TE OF GOOD RE pa IR 5-1 REVENUE VEHICLES Revenue vehicles are those vehicles that are used in the direct provision of services to the public.
