    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.

  • WEST VIRGINIA HIGHWAYS Classification Systems, Characteristics and Usage
    WEST VIRGINIA HIGHWAYS Classification Systems, Characteristics and Usage Highway classifications are the result of the assignment of individual roads and streets into similar groups according to the character of service each is intended to provide. Highways may be classified into these groups using a variety of systems to serve a number of purposes. West Virginia’s highways are classified according to ownership (the jurisdictional system); according to the nature of the trips they serve (the National Highway Functional Classification System and the West Virginia Legal Functional Classification System); according to eligibility for matching assistance from the federal government (the federal-aid system); and according to the types of roadway sign shields used to guide motorists (the sign system). Since these classifications exist concurrently and are widely misunderstood, each of these classification systems is further described in this section. Additionally, mileage tables for both the Interstate and Appalachian Development Highway Systems have been included separately. It should be noted that these classification systems are not mutually exclusive and that mileage may vary among the systems. Throughout this chapter, an urban area will denote an area with 5,000 or more persons that encompasses, at a minimum, the land area delineated by the US Bureau of the Census, which establishes urban areas based on the density of the population. The Jurisdictional System Except for minor amounts of federal highway mileage under the jurisdiction of the US Forest Service and the National Park Service, practically all of the public roads and streets in West Virginia are under the jurisdiction of State and local governments; however, an undetermined number of miles of public roadway exists that is not under the jurisdiction of any specific governing body.

  • Chapter 10. Transportation Element
    Horizon 2040 Transportation Element CHAPTER 10. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 10.1 INTRODUCTION People and goods are connected to one another via a community’s transportation system. These transportation systems consist of facilities that accommodate many modes of transport including cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, pedestrians, railcars, and airplanes. The ability to move goods and people is essential for a healthy community. The Transportation Element describes how Yakima County’s transportation system provides for this movement now and how the system will provide for this movement in the future. The primary focus of Yakima County's transportation system is the County- owned facilities that serve motorized vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Yakima County’s population and employment will increase significantly over the next 20 years. This anticipated growth will result in an increase in traffic traveling to, from, through, and within the County. Transportation strategies must be developed to maintain acceptable levels of service for the County’s transportation system as this growth occurs. The Transportation Element identifies existing transportation system characteristics, establishes Level of Service ratings, identifies existing and future deficiencies, develops improvement projects and strategies to mitigate deficiencies, and analyzes projected revenues to ensure that necessary improvements will be constructed concurrent with demand. 10.2 Purpose of the Element The Transportation Element of Plan 2015 Horizon 2040 serves as Yakima County's action plan to provide the transportation strategies necessary to accommodate future growth. The element describes the existing condition of the transportation network, and sets forth policies and objectives, which integrate function of the network with the Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.combines technical and financial analyses for the County’s transportation system through a methodology that meets the requirements of the GMA.
