Explaining MBTA Commuter Rail Ridership METHODS RIDERSHIP
TAKING THE TRAIN? Explaining MBTA Commuter Rail Ridership INTRODUCTION RIDERSHIP BY STATION RESULTS The MBTA Commuter Rail provides service from suburbs in the Boston Metro Area to Boston area stations, with terminal Commuter Rail Variables stations at North Station and South Station. While using commuter rail may be faster, particularly at rush hour, than using a Distance to Boston, distance to rapid transit, price of commuter rail, commuter rail time, transit time, and drive time are all personal vehicle or other transit alternatives, people still choose not to use the Commuter Rail, as can be demonstrated by the highly correlated. This makes sense as they all essentially measure distance to Boston in dollars, minutes and miles. high volume of people driving at rush hour. For the commuter rail variables analysis, trains per weekday (standardized beta=.536, p=.000), drive time at 8AM This study seeks to understand the personal vehicle and public transit alternatives to the MBTA Commuter Rail at each stop (standardized beta=.385, p=.000), peak on time performance (standardized beta=-.206, p=.009) and the terminal station to understand what options people have when deciding to use the Commuter Rail over another mode and what characteristics (p=.001) were found to be significant. Interestingly, all variables calculated for the area a half mile from commuter rail sta- tions (population, jobs and median income) were not significant. of the alternatives may inspire people to choose them over Commuter Rail. Understanding what transit and driving alterna- tives are like at each Commuter Rail stop may offer insight into why people are choosing or not choosing Commuter Rail for Transit Variables their trips to Boston, and how to encourage ridership.

Chapter 4: Systemwide Context of The
CHAPTER 4 Systemwide Context for the PMT TRANSIT SYSTEM: EXISTING CONDITIONS OVERVIEW The Boston metropolitan area is served by an extensive transit system comprising several comple- mentary components. One component is a hub-and-spoke radial network of rapid transit, express bus, commuter rail, and commuter boat lines that is geared, during peak operations, to efficiently move large volumes of people into and out of the urban core for weekday commutes. Local bus and trackless trolley services fill in gaps and connect the radial “spokes” by offering line haul service in heavily congested urban areas, feeder service to rail, and some inter-suburban linkages. Demand- responsive transportation for people with disabilities and the elderly is also provided. The MBTA is the primary transit provider in the Boston region. The MBTA district is made up of 175 cities and towns and includes communities outside of the 101 municipalities of the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization area. The MBTA also provides commuter rail service to Provi- dence, Rhode Island, which lies outside the MBTA district. As can be seen in the following table, almost 99% of daily boardings are on the MBTA’s primary modes: rapid transit (heavy rail and light rail), bus rapid transit (BRT), bus/trackless trolley, and commuter rail.

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

Massachusetts House of Representatives: Upgrading Greater Boston MBTA Rail System St
Massachusetts House of Representatives: Upgrading Greater Boston MBTA Rail System St. John’s Preparatory School - Danvers, Massachusetts - December 2020 Letter from the Chairs Dear Delegates, My name is Brett Butler. I am a Senior at St. John’s Prep, and I will serve as your chair for the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Railway Service. I have been involved in Model UN at the Prep for 5 years. Outside of Model UN, I am on the SJP Tennis Team, an Eagles’ Wings Leader, a member of Spire Society, a member of the National Honor Society, and a member of the Chinese National Honor Society. The topic of Railway Service has really fascinated me, since my father is an executive in the FTA (Federal Transit Administration), which is part of the DOT (Department of Transportation), and he has been my inspiration for my research into this topic. Also, I am a frequent passenger on the “T” and Commuter Rail (as well as commuter rail and subway services in many different cities such as Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Montreal). Thus, I recommend that you read through this paper as well as to do your own research on the frequency, extension, and public trust in the Greater Boston Railway Service. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns! I will be happy to assist you, and I look forward to meeting you in December! Thank you, Brett Butler ‘21 ([email protected]) Chair, Massachusetts House of Representatives on Railway Service, SJPMUN XV Dear Delegates, My name is Brendan O’Friel.
