CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth. -

The document reviews Australian and international planning guides to identify key elements important in planning for station access. Best practice elements were identified for inclusion in an access planning methodology for the Australian context. An evaluation framework featuring a checklist of station access principles associated with each access mode is provided to assess existing station access. Case studies are presented from Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney so as to illustrate the framework. This document presents a new perspective for Australian rail agencies, including access in the overall design process and provides a best practice approach, building on available station access-related planning in Australia and developments in Europe and North America.

Making the Case for Expanding Commuter Rail Service Between Worcester and Boston
AN INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT CONNECTING THE HEART OF THE COMMONWEALTH WITH THE HUB OF THE UNIVERSE: MAKING THE CASE FOR EXPANDING COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE BETWEEN WORCESTER AND BOSTON Report No. 00-1 January 27, 2000 500 Salisbury Street • Worcester, Massachusetts • 01609-1296 •Telephone: 508/799-7169 Facsimile: 508/799-4720 • www.wrrb.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The MBTA should introduce expanded commuter rail service to Worcester consisting of ten operations in each direction per weekday as promised in the final environmental impact report issued by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs in 1997. That report projected that by 2001 daily weekday inbound ridership at the Worcester Station would reach 414 passengers. The MBTA's most recent ridership audit (February 1999) indicates that current inbound ridership is 917 or more than double the projected number. From these figures (which do not include the number of passengers returning to Worcester), it would appear that the demand warrants additional service. Furthermore, even under the new system of assessing the efficiency of MBTA services that was established in the FY00 State Budget, it is likely that the expanded commuter rail service between Worcester and Boston would be deemed economically feasible. Finally, the amount of commuter parking available and planned in Worcester compares very favorably with other stations on the Framingham line. (Worcester has one parking space available for every 2.2 passengers whereas Framingham has one for every 13.5 passengers.) The main obstacle to expanded service appears to be the limited availability of rolling stock (locomotives and particularly passenger coaches) that expanded rail service would require. -
