  • Removal of Hamilton Health Sciences Atms
    Removal of Hamilton Health Sciences ATMs HMECU is pleased to have provided ATM services at Hamilton Health Sciences locations for many years. Unfortunately, Hamilton Health Sciences has decided to terminate the ATM services agreement with HMECU. As a result, HMECU will be removing all of the HMECU branded ATMs located within Hamilton Health Sciences between September 17th and September 20th. An ATM contract has been awarded to another vendor who will be replacing our machines, however, HMECU is not aware of when the new ATMs will be installed. For more information, please contact Hamilton Health Sciences by emailing [email protected]. What does this mean for HMECU members? There will still be ATMs in each of the locations, however, the ATMs are not credit union ATM machines, nor are they part of THE EXCHANGE® Network. Because the replacement ATM machines are not part of THE EXCHANGE Network, there will be a $1.50 surcharge to use any of the newly deployed machines. Due to Interac® regulations, there is no possible way for members to avoid paying this fee when they use the new ATMs. If you would like to review and discuss your HMECU service charge package, please call your branch directly, or email [email protected]. HHSC Locations and Alternative ATMs Listed below are the addresses of the HHSC locations where HMECU ATMs are being removed. Also listed are some nearby locations of ATMs on THE EXCHANGE Network where you can withdrawal funds ding free®.

    Meeting Notes PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PTAC) TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 2017 @ 7:00 PM BROOKLINE TOWN HALL, ROOM 408 333 WASHINGTON STREET, BROOKLINE MA 02446 7:00 CALL MEETING TO ORDER AND APPROVE MINUTES FROM MARCH 7, 2017 MEETING. CONGRATULATE NEW MEMBER DAVID SALTMAN AND WELCOME CANDIDATE JONATHAN ZELIG. PTAC members present: Abby Swaine, Linda Jason, Jane Gould, David Saltman PTAC liaison to Transportation Board present: Scott Englander PTAC candidate present: Jonathan Zelig March 7 minutes approved unanimously. 7:05 TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. No guests present. 7:15 BROOKLINE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TRANSIT: FEEDBACK FROM MARCH 16 TRANSPORTATION BOARD MEETING AND NEXT STEPS. Abby recounted main points from summary presented to the Transportation Board (appended). The TB directed PTAC to approach the School Dept and School Committee to consider providing school bus service to BHS students, after school as well as potentially before school. (Currently no town school bus service is provided to BHS students after school, but some service is provided in the morning, appended to elementary school busing.) The TB feels it is reasonable to expect that the Town should pay, in moderation, for school bus transportation for BHS students not well-served by MBTA transit. The TB recommends that PTAC seek support from Town Meeting Members whose constituents may benefit, and from School Committee candidates. Now is an appropriate time to broach the issue, as the Town anticipates and plans for large increases in school enrolment, which will result in more traffic congestion at BHS and other schools. Students residing in parts of Brookline other than South Brookline may also face lengthy commutes to BHS.

  • Preferential Facilities for Carpools and Buses
    'w~ - ?J.. · '1'/- ooS' Preferential Facilities for Carpools and Buses Seven Reports ( I ' a Portland Los Angeles 4:b-~ HE '.'.'it.'.>)() .C3 F' 73 S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION deral Highway Administration (HHP-26) 1shington D.C., 20590 May 1976 PREFACE These seven reports on preferential facilities for carpools and buses have been assembled and reprinted by the Federal Highway Administration. The reports provide information on several recent projects to increase the person-moving capacity of the highway system by designating facilities for preferential use by high-occupancy vehicles. The reduced traveltime and more favorable travel conditions on priority facilities provide an effective incentive to entice commuters into these more efficient modes. The reports presented here cover many different types of priority treatment. Some of the reports analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of particular projects. Other reports emphasize the project design and operational features; others simply describe the current operation of unique or unusual projects. Further information on the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of priority projects for carpools and buses is available from the Federal Highway Administration. More detailed information on the specific projects described here is available in many cases from the responsible operating agencies. In general, any transportation corridor with recurrent traffic congestion could be a candidate for a priority treatment project regardless of metropolitan area size. Priority vehicles can often utilize marginal increments of highway capacity made available by operational changes or minor construction. The projects described in these reports demonstrate considerable ingenuity in designating preferential facilities through operational changes or incremental construction within existing rights- of-way.

Some road controlling authorities (RCAs) and transportation practitioners are using or proposing to use cycle symbols for reasons other than defining legal cycle lanes. A traffic engineering tool used overseas is an advisory pavement marking treatment indicating or advising road users of the potential presence of cyclists and of the location where cyclists may be expected to ride on a road. Under New ZeDODQG¶VSUHVHQWUXOHV this tool cannot be used. In addition to this, many RCAs are devising non-standard signs and markings for cycling, in some cases to address similar issues.
