  • MBTA Red Line Repairs
    Ana Torres November 3, 2011 Assignment 5: Basic queries MBTA Red Line Repairs Starting next Saturday (November 5, 2011) and until March 4, 2012, the MBTA will close the Red Line north of Harvard Square on weekends to complete $80 million in repairs designed to keep trains from derailing due to eroded tracks and power lines caused by leaks in the tunnel. The service will be replaced with shuttle buses. According to an article from the Boston Globe by Eric Moskowitz on October 22, 2011, about 21,200 riders on Saturday and 14,200 on Sunday board the Red Line at Porter, Davis and Alewife stations, meaning over 35,000 commuters will be affected weekly in the five-month shutdown period. The MBTA has come up with its next commuter nightmare. On weekends starting November 5, Red Line trains north of Harvard Square due to tunnel repairs. According to an article from the Boston Globe, the $80 million project will serve to keep trains from derailing These events are a perfect opportunity to reanalyze the profile of the users of the MBTA. Having a clearer idea of the sociodemographic profile and the patterns of use of transportation of the people that will be affected by this project will help to have a better assessment of the true cost of the project, that it, not only the monetary cost of the infrastructure but counting the social cost of the project as well. For this, a map that relates different characteristics of the population and their transportation information will result extremely useful.

  • Bus State of the System Report
    JUNE 2015 BusBus StateState of of the the System System Report Report Title Page STATESTATE OF OF THETHE SYSTEMSYSTEM REPORT:REPORT BUS December 2015 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Overview…..…………………..…………………………………………….…….4 Assets…………………….………………….……………………………………..12 Service Performance…..…………………………………………………….16 Asset Performance….………………………………………………………..23 Summary….……………………………………………………………………...44 2 ABOUT THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM REPORTS These State of the System reports lay the foundation for the development of Focus40, a financially responsible 25-year capital plan for the MBTA, to be released in 2016. Planning for the future requires a clear understanding of the present. These reports describe that present: the condition, use, and performance of the MBTA bus, rapid transit, commuter rail, ferry, and paratransit systems. In addition, these reports describe how asset condition and age influence service performance and customer experience. The next phase of Focus40 will consider how a range of factors – including technological innovation, demographic shifts, and climate change – will require the MBTA to operate differently in 2040 than it does today. With the benefit of the information provided in these State of the Systems reports, the Focus40 team will work with the general public and transportation stakeholders to develop and evaluate various strategies for investing in and improving the MBTA system in order to prepare it for the future. SUMMARY OF STATE OF THE SYSTEM: BUS… More than a third of all MBTA trips are taken on buses. But an aging bus fleet, insufficient maintenance facilities, congested roads, and other problems – some of them beyond the MBTA’s control – means that these 446,700 daily riders, many of them of lower income and dependent upon bus service, frequently do not receive the service that they deserve or that would meet the MBTA’s own standards.

Rail services in older cities such as Boston include an urban metro system with a mixture of light rail/trolley and heavy rail lines, and a network of commuter services emanating from termini in the city center. These legacy systems have grown incrementally over the past century and are struggling to serve the economic and population growth

  • Appendix G Central Area
    Appendix G Central Area: Boston Proper and Circumferential Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions BACKGROUND EXISTING CONDITIONS The Central Area consists of most of Boston (excluding Hyde Park, Roslindale, West Roxbury, and Mat- tapan) and nine communities surrounding the city: Brookline, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Malden, Everett, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. Most parts of the Central Area are also the close-in compo- nents of the six radial corridors. The exception is Boston Proper, which is not included in any radial cor- ridor. Boston Proper is the part of the city that lies northeast of Massachusetts Avenue and is bordered by the Charles River, Boston Harbor, Fort Point Channel, and the Southeast Expressway. All five rapid transit lines, plus the two commuter rail systems, converge in Boston Proper. The oldest parts of the system, the heaviest ridership, and the most serious congestion in stations and terminals occurs in Boston Proper. Consequently, adequate corridor coverage is not an issue in the way it is in the geographically extensive radial corridors. Instead, capacity, modernization, and connectivity define the challenges the MBTA faces here. The Central Area encompasses most of the rapid transit system and much of the local bus network. Of the rapid transit system, only the Riverside Branch of the Green Line, the Mattapan High Speed Line, and Braintree Branch of the Red Line extend beyond the Central Area. The commuter rail sys- tem has three stations in Boston Proper: North Station, South Station, and Back Bay Station. While most commuter rail lines extend deep into the radial corridors, there are some commuter rail stations beyond Boston Proper that are in the Central Area: Chelsea, Malden Center, West Medford, Porter Square, Yawkey, Ruggles, Forest Hills, Uphams Corner, and JFK/UMass.

Transit service in Allston includes Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) bus routes 47, 57/57A, 64, 66, 70/70A, 86, 501, 503, and CT2; the Boston Landing commuter rail station on the MBTA’s Worcester Line; 11 stops on the Boston College (B) branch of the MBTA Green Line; and several private shuttles. This study analyzed ridership data, passenger comfort and service reliability metrics as defined by the MBTA’s Service Delivery Policy, bus travel speeds and locations of delay, the conditions of rail and bus stops and stations, and recent passenger survey data for MBTA transit services.

  • Spaces of Conflict Dossier
    Spaces of Confrontation: 3rd International Conference in Transatlantic Studies Real Colegio Complutense Harvard May 12nd and 13rd, 2017 Keynote Speaker Prof. Estrella de Diego Otero (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) 1 Spaces of Confrontation 3rd International Conference in Transatlantic Studies May 12nd and 13rd, 2017 Barker Center & Lamont Library, Harvard University Transatlantic culture often presents itself as a narrative of encounter and dialogue that transcend the limits of the local. However, the trace of colonialism, the living memory of exile, and an uneven distribution of economic, political, and symbolic power haunts transatlantic imagination. This conference aims to explore the many ways in which antagonisms, uneasy pluralism, and tense negotiations of difference overdetermine sites of Transatlantic cultural practices. Is the very history of Transatlantic interactions one of conflicting and conflicted cartographical reasons? To what extent is the Transatlantic triangulation of nation, language, territory, and culture as arbitrarily violent as its nationalistic identification? Is the history of Atlantic transnational interactions best understood as the progressive globalization of peoples, resources, and ideas or as its catastrophic dispersion in opposing local narratives? What are the effects of competition, debate, strife, war, and how are they instrumentalized to construct, breach, and rebuild interpretive and political communities? What are the institutions that regulate, enable, and promote confrontation? Keynote Speaker:
