  • PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service
    TPRG PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service Prepared for Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority by the Transportation Planning and Resource Group, March 2012 (_) 1 TPRG ( 1. Project: Cape Cod Seasonal Train Service The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) engaged the Transportation Planning and Resource Group (TPRG) to explore if and how seasonal passenger rail service (essentially during summer weekends) could be reintroduced to provide a rail connection to Hyannis. Cape Cod suffers from extreme road and bridge congestion due, in part, from the need for most visitors to use the existing two roadway bridges (Sagamore and Bourne). Summer traffic on the bridges almost doubles and has increased significantly over the years. This extensive congestion is not good for either Cape Cod's economy (with a significant focus on tourism) or the air quality. At the same time, there is a vastly improved local public transportation network on Cape Cod. The purpose of this initiative is determine if and how to use the existing railroad right-of­ way (owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)) to encourage those who are Cape-bound to comfortably, reliably and efficiently come to Cape Cod on the train rather than in an ( automobile. The target service would be weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day(Boston to Hyannis Friday afternoons/evenings with return Sunday afternoons and Saturday round trip service). The initial study plan was to focus on the steps necessary to bring back rail service originating in Boston with a target date of summer 2012.
