  • Chapter 2 Existing Conditions Summary
    Final Report New Haven Hartford Springfield Commuter Rail Implementation Study 2 Existing Conditions Chapter 2 Existing Conditions Summary This chapter is a summary of the existing conditions report, necessary for comprehension of the remaining chapters. The entire report can be found in Appendix B of this report. 2.1 Existing Passenger Services on the Line The only existing passenger rail service on the Springfield Line is a regional service operated by Amtrak. Schedules for alternatives in Chapter 3 and the Recommended Action in Chapter 4 include current Amtrak service. Most Amtrak service on the line is shuttle trains, running between Springfield and New Haven, where they connect with other Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains. One round-trip train each day operates through the corridor to Boston to the north and Washington to the south. One round trip train each day operates to and from St. Albans, Vermont from New Haven. The trains also permit connections at New Haven with Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (Washington to Boston) service, as well as Metro North service to New York, and Shore Line East local commuter service to New London. Departures are spread throughout the day, with trains typically operating at intervals of two to three hours. Springfield line services are designed as extensions of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor service, and are not scheduled to serve local commuter trips (home to work trips). The Amtrak fare structure was substantially reduced in price since this study began. The original fare structure from November 2002 was shown in the existing conditions report, which can be found in Appendix B.

    Transportation CHAPTER V: TRANSPORTATION A. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Located at the junction of Interstate 91 and Interstate 95, as well as a key access point to the Northeast Corridor rail line, New Haven is the highway and rail gateway to New England. It is the largest seaport in the state and the region and also the first city in Connecticut to have joined the national complete streets movement in 2008 by adopting the City’s Complete Streets Design Manual, balancing the needs of all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Journey to Work Data For a U.S. city of its size, New Haven has substantial share (45 Aerial view of New Haven seaport: largest in the state and the region. percent) of commuters who use a form of transportation other than driving alone. Approximately 15 percent of all commuters travel via carpool, close to 14 percent walk to work, while over 11 percent use a form of public transportation. Of the 10 largest cities in New England, only Boston has a higher percentage of residents who travel to work via non-motorized transportation. Also, out of this same group of cities, New Haven ranked highest in the percentage of people who walked to work.

  • Report Appendices.Pdf
    APPENDIX A Appendix A Sampling Methodology for DataHaven 2015 Survey Respondents are contacted via landline or cell phone. The design of the landline sample is conducted so as to ensure the selection of both listed and unlisted telephone numbers, using random digit dialing (RDD). The cell phone sample is drawn from a sample of dedicated wireless telephone exchanges from within Connecticut and the specified zip codes within New York State. Respondents are screened for residence in the state of Connecticut or one of the seven zip codes in New York. The primary supplier of the RDD landline and cell phone samples is Survey Sampling International (SSI) of Shelton, Connecticut, “the premier global provider of sampling solutions for survey research1”. From the SSI Fact Sheet on Radom Digit Samples (for landline telephone samples): Most SSI samples are generated using a database of “working blocks.” A block (also known as a 100-bank or a bank) is a set of 100 contiguous numbers identified by the first two digits of the last four digits of a telephone number. For example, in the telephone number 255-4200, “42” is the block. A block is termed to be working if one or more listed telephone numbers are found in that block. The sample composition is comprised of random numbers distributed across all eligible blocks in proportion to their density of listed telephone households. All blocks within a county are organized in ascending order by area code, exchange, and block number. Once the quota has been allocated to all counties in the frame, a sampling interval is calculated by summing the number of listed residential numbers in each eligible block within the county and dividing that sum by the number of sampling points assigned to the county.
