  • TRANSIT SYSTEMS and SERVICES in SEATTLE Author: Peter Lindsay Updated: May 20, 2015
    TRANSIT SYSTEMS AND SERVICES IN SEATTLE Author: Peter Lindsay Updated: May 20, 2015 INTRODUCTION On a typical weekday about 40 percent of commuters ride a bus or take a train to work in downtown Seattle. While the City of Seattle does not directly operate transit systems, the City does own transit assets. The City of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan (page 3.9), states that “providing convenient and accessible transit service can help reduce reliance on single- occupant vehicles, slow the increase in environmental degradation associated with their use, and increase mobility without building new streets and highways.” On April 16, 2012, the City Council passed Resolution 31367, which adopted the Seattle Transit Master Plan (TMP). The TMP provides a 20-year look (through 2030) to the type of transit system that will be required to meet Seattle’s transit needs. It is an extensive update of the 2005 TMP, which identified key corridors linking urban villages and established performance standards for transit service. The 2012 TMP expanded that work and includes an evaluation of rail modes, rapid bus services, light rail station design, and capital infrastructure. The TMP addresses many critical issues, including: • Identification of the city’s most important transit corridors that carry high ridership today, as well as potential new ridership markets that will emerge as Seattle grows in jobs and new residents. • Selection of transit modes, such as bus rapid transit, light rail or streetcar that would work best on those corridors. • Integration of transit capital facilities and services with walking and biking infrastructure, as well as using transit to make great places.

  • Seattle Center Monorail Braking System Upgrade
    Seattle Center Monorail Braking System Upgrade Seattle, Washington ORIGINALLY BUILT TO SHOWCASE AMERICAN INNOVATION FOR THE 1962 WORLD’S FAIR, THE SEATTLE CENTER MONORAIL IS THE OLDEST AND MOST FAMOUS OF ALL U.S. MONORAIL SYSTEMS. AFTER PERFORMING RELIABLY FOR MORE THAN 43 YEARS, THE AGING SYSTEM WAS IN NEED OF AN UPGRADE PROGRAM TO MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH TODAY’S PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. SCHWAGER DAVIS, INC. HAS BEEN PROVIDING ESSENTIAL SOLUTIONS EVER SINCE. The contract was performed on schedule, within budget and to the full satisfaction of the client. The Seattle Center Monorail in Washington State is the oldest operational monorail in the United States. Originally built to showcase American transportation innovation for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Alweg-designed system has since continued to operate as a downtown Seattle people mover and tourist attraction throughout five decades.. Although the monorail had undergone numerous upgrades and renovations over the years, in 2005 it was still operating in its original configuration as a driver-controlled, manually-operated system with few modern automated safety features. In early 2006, Schwager Davis, Inc. was contracted to review potential system safety hazards and to provide a solution to lower the g-forces of the existing emergency braking system. At the time, the emergency braking system stopped the trains too abruptly when applied, and was known to present a potential safety hazard. SDI provided a two-phase solution. Phase I involved analysis of the existing overly-abrupt emergency brakes and working with the owner’s control system integrator to provide a solution for the brakes along with measures to enable the semi-automated controls to provide a method of monitoring the operator’s speed and station approach performance.

  • 1 Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CONTEXT OF THE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) intends to expand regional transit service in the North Corridor, connecting the existing regional transit system from the planned interim terminus of Link light rail in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle to the city of Lynnwood in southern Snohomish County. Approved by voters as part of the Sound Transit 2 (ST2) Plan in 2008 (Sound Transit 2007a), the North Corridor Transit Project would connect to and build on the Link light rail line that opened for service between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport in 2009, and would extend northward to serve north Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, and the city of Lynnwood in southern Snohomish County. Construction is currently underway on a light rail extension to the University of Washington scheduled to open in 2016, followed by service to Northgate targeted in 2021. Voter-approved additions over the next few years will bring 36 new miles of service to the north, south, and east, creating a 55-mile light rail system serving the region. The North Corridor project connecting Northgate to Lynnwood is an incremental step in the implementation of the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC’s) VISION 2040 (PSRC 2009) and the Sound Transit 2005 Regional Transit Long-Range Plan (Sound Transit 2005a), both of which call for the eventual extension of high capacity transit (HCT) service north to Everett. Figure 1-1 shows the Regional Transit System plan map adopted by Sound Transit in 2008 as well as the North Corridor.

  • Guide to Art: Sounder Commuter Rail
    Sounder commuter rail Art adds interest and meaning to public places. Art celebrates the history, culture and people of a community. Art tells a story. The Sound Transit art program, STart, brings an artist’s perspective to what is mainly an engineering and architectural undertaking. Many aspects of the Sound Transit system of buses and trains are transformed by art. Community representatives help select the artists and approve the artwork. ALL STATIONS Artist-designed “Welcome Mats” serve as door markers on the station platforms. The “Welcome Mats” mark where the commuter train doors open when the train pulls into the station. The “Welcome Mat” design was derived from a late 1800’s quilt pattern called “Railroad Quilt.” KING STREET STATION The Sounder station canopy support columns feature 26 stainless steel and aluminum wind-activated sculptures. A series of articulated metal strips hanging from the pivoting vane “Welcome Mats” at a Sounder allows the artwork to not only reveal the direction of the wind but also its shape. “The brushed surface station designed by artist Jerry Mayer of the metal reflects the colors of the sky and the nearby buildings. The metaphor is one of passage, glints of light reflecting from a field of metallic grass.” Artist Ned Kahn. “Moto/motor/to move/motion- that’s the starting point”, says Jerry Mayer of his artwork “Moto,” traffic- type 4’x4’ signs covered in a range of colorful reflective material. These are attached to sixteen columns opposite the commuter rail platform. Each sign/artwork has imagery of a simple black shape made up of a combination of traffic sign symbols from arrows, crosses, “Y”s and “T”s.
