The Citizens' Street Railroad Company, founded by investors from Chicago, bought the system in 1888 and converted it from animal to electric power. The Indianapolis Street Railway Company purchased the system in 1899, allowed interurban electric trains to use its lines in 1900, and bought control of the Indianapolis–Broad Ripple line in 1902. The company began operating buses in 1925. In 1932 Indianapolis Railways, Inc. bought the system and became the first transit operator anywhere to use the trackless trolley in downtown traffic. The trackless trolley completely replaced the traditional streetcar in Indianapolis in January 1953.

  • ADA Service Provisions Bus Stop Announcements
    ADA Service Provisions Bus Stop Announcements - Operators must announce or cause to be announced: 1. all bus stops that are transfer points with other bus lines 2. bus stops at major intersections and destination points; and 3. bus stops at intervals along the route sufficient to permit persons with disabilities to be oriented to their location along the route. Specific bus stops must also be announced at the request of passengers with disabilities. Bus operators are required to use the automated voice annunciation system on buses so equipped. On all other buses, or where a passenger has requested a specific stop announcement, bus operators are to use the interior public address (PA) system to announce stops. In cases where no PA or automated annunciation system exists, or is working, bus operators are to announce stops directly to the passengers. All non-working stop announcement equipment is to be reported to dispatch/ maintenance immediately. Bus Route/Route Destination Identification - All MMVTA buses are to display the bus route number and destination on the destination sign display area above the windshield in the bus exterior. The route destination will also be displayed to the bus exterior in the upper portion of the forward-most passenger window on the curbside of most buses where bus design allows. MMVTA bus operators are to announce or cause to be announced the bus route and destination of the bus to waiting passengers at bus stops serving more than one bus route. Exterior automated annunciators, public address, and direct announcement by bus operators are to be used to effect this requirement.

SPECIFIC SERVICE SIGNS Section 2F.01 Eligibility Standard: Specific Service signs shall be defined as guide signs that provide road users with business identification and directional information for services and for eligible attractions. Guidance: The use of Specific Service signs should be limited to areas primarily rural in character or to areas where adequate sign spacing can be maintained. Option: Where an engineering study determines a need, Specific Service signs may be used on any class of highways. Guidance: Specific Service signs should not be installed at an interchange where the road user cannot conveniently reenter the freeway or expressway and continue in the same direction of travel. Standard: Eligible service facilities shall comply with laws concerning the provisions of public accommodations without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, or national origin, and laws concerning the licensing and approval of service facilities. The attraction services shall include only facilities which have the primary purpose of providing amusement, historical, cultural, or leisure activities to the public. Guidance: Distances to eligible services should not exceed 5 km (3 mi) in either direction. Option: If, within the 5 km (3 mi) limit, facilities for the services being considered are not available or choose not to participate in the program, the limit of eligibility may be extended in 5 km (3 mi) increments until one or more facilities for the services being considered chooses to participate, or until 25 km (15 mi) is reached, whichever comes first. Page 2F-2 Proposed Revision No. 2 Guidance: If State or local agencies elect to provide Specific Service signing, there should be a statewide policy for such signing and criteria for the availability of the various types of services.

  • TCQSM Part 8
    Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual—2nd Edition PART 8 GLOSSARY This part of the manual presents definitions for the various transit terms discussed and referenced in the manual. Other important terms related to transit planning and operations are included so that this glossary can serve as a readily accessible and easily updated resource for transit applications beyond the evaluation of transit capacity and quality of service. As a result, this glossary includes local definitions and local terminology, even when these may be inconsistent with formal usage in the manual. Many systems have their own specific, historically derived, terminology: a motorman and guard on one system can be an operator and conductor on another. Modal definitions can be confusing. What is clearly light rail by definition may be termed streetcar, semi-metro, or rapid transit in a specific city. It is recommended that in these cases local usage should prevail. AADT — annual average daily ATP — automatic train protection. AADT—accessibility, transit traffic; see traffic, annual average ATS — automatic train supervision; daily. automatic train stop system. AAR — Association of ATU — Amalgamated Transit Union; see American Railroads; see union, transit. Aorganizations, Association of American Railroads. AVL — automatic vehicle location system. AASHTO — American Association of State AW0, AW1, AW2, AW3 — see car, weight Highway and Transportation Officials; see designations. organizations, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. absolute block — see block, absolute.
