  • NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents
    Northeast Corridor One-Year Implementation Plan Fiscal Year 2017 September 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region. 2| NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents Introduction 6 Funding Summary 8 Baseline Capital Charge Program 10 1 - Boston South Station 12 16 - Shore to Girard 42 2 - Boston to Providence 14 17 - Girard to Philadelphia 30th Street 44 3 - Providence to Wickford Junction 16 18 - Philadelphia 30th Street - Arsenal 46 4 - Wickford Junction to New London 18 19 - Arsenal to Marcus Hook 48 5 - New London to New Haven 20 20 - Marcus Hook to Bacon 50 6 - New Haven to State Line 22 21 - Bacon to Perryville 52 7 - State Line to New Rochelle 24 22 - Perryville to WAS 54 8 - New Rochelle to Harold Interlocking 26 23 - Washington Union Terminal 56 9 - Harold Interlocking to F Interlocking 28 24 - WAS to CP Virginia 58 10 - F Interlocking to PSNY 30 25 - Springfield to New Haven 60 11 - Penn Terminal 32 27 - Spuyten Duyvil to PSNY* 62 12 - PSNY to Trenton 34 28 - 30th St.

  • Special Events and Tourism Services
    Transit Strategies SEASONAL AND SPECIAL EVENT SERVICE Public transit, and transportation in general, are often planned to serve trips that are made day- in and day-out. However, some trips are made only seasonally, and others are made to and from special events – for example, WaterFire in Providence and the Newport Jazz Festival. Seasonal and special event transit services serve these types of trips, so as to: Mitigate traffic and parking congestion Provide transportation choices that do not require use of a car Provide access for those who don’t own cars Support the local economy by providing services that encourage tourism RIPTA Beach Bus Ad Types of Services Public transit can be expanded to provide service for different types of events and recreational needs, through a variety of modes including buses, shuttles, trains, and ferries. Seasonal Destinations: At many seasonal destinations, such as Rhode Island’s beaches, peak season travel volumes are very high during the peak season but very low during the off-season. Seasonal service provides service when demand is high but not at other times. At other seasonal destinations, such as Newport, there is demand for transit year-round, but demand is much higher in the summer due to an influx of visitors, summer residents, and summer workers. Sporting and Cultural Events: Sporting and cultural events draw large crowds that create traffic and parking issues. Special event service is designed to serve specific events that draw large numbers of attendees. The special event service can be new service or more frequent service on existing routes. Transit Strategies | 1 Year-Round Tourism Services: Agencies can run shuttles or services targeted at tourists year-round, decreasing the need to rent cars while travelling.
