  • CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT

    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.

    Actions to Transform Mobility TRANSPORT KENDALL Navigating the Growth and Transformation of Kendall Square Introduction The Kendall Square has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 40 years. The scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs in Kendall Square together have created one of the most dynamic innovation districts in the world. Kendall’s innovation ecosystem is dependent on the talent and resources of institutions and companies located in close proximity. Close connections to Boston’s medical centers, investment resources, and education institutions have likewise been invaluable. Kendall Square has become central to Massachusetts’s economy attracting talent from every corner of the state, however Kendall is not as geographically central within the regional transit system as downtown Boston. Despite this, Kendall has grown from one red line station into a model transit-oriented development district with a truly multi-modal commute pattern, supported by the City of Cambridge’s progressive parking and transportation demand policies. Kendall has spurred the emergence of new districts focused on life science and technology innovation throughout the region. The state’s economic growth is dependent on reliable transportation connections between where people live and work. Transport Kendall seeks to maintain and enhance the transit-oriented development model in Cambridge. To do this, Transport Kendall promotes future investment in the transit system to serve this economic hub, while relieving congestion and supporting regional

    Special Events and Tourism Services

    Transit Strategies SEASONAL AND SPECIAL EVENT SERVICE Public transit, and transportation in general, are often planned to serve trips that are made day- in and day-out. However, some trips are made only seasonally, and others are made to and from special events – for example, WaterFire in Providence and the Newport Jazz Festival. Seasonal and special event transit services serve these types of trips, so as to: Mitigate traffic and parking congestion Provide transportation choices that do not require use of a car Provide access for those who don’t own cars Support the local economy by providing services that encourage tourism RIPTA Beach Bus Ad Types of Services Public transit can be expanded to provide service for different types of events and recreational needs, through a variety of modes including buses, shuttles, trains, and ferries. Seasonal Destinations: At many seasonal destinations, such as Rhode Island’s beaches, peak season travel volumes are very high during the peak season but very low during the off-season. Seasonal service provides service when demand is high but not at other times. At other seasonal destinations, such as Newport, there is demand for transit year-round, but demand is much higher in the summer due to an influx of visitors, summer residents, and summer workers. Sporting and Cultural Events: Sporting and cultural events draw large crowds that create traffic and parking issues. Special event service is designed to serve specific events that draw large numbers of attendees. The special event service can be new service or more frequent service on existing routes. Transit Strategies | 1 Year-Round Tourism Services: Agencies can run shuttles or services targeted at tourists year-round, decreasing the need to rent cars while travelling.
