  • 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.

The higher speed passenger rail service relies being monitored and data is being collected on Venture trainsets built and maintained by Siemens Mobility to give people a on anything that is happening, be it a normal event or fault.” smarter way to travel in South Florida. Comprehensive maintenance performed by highly skilled Siemens technicians, who use proven solutions and the latest in Tom Rutkowski digital monitoring and analysis, helps keep the fleet running on schedule every day. VP of Engineering and Chief Mechanical Officer Client Objectives Brightline Brightline envisioned offering the ultimate passenger experience when it partnered with Siemens on the custom design of its five Venture trainsets. It also wanted to ensure on-time travel to make the train a real alternative to car trips bogged down by South Florida’s intense highway traffic. As manufacturing on the first trainset began in July 2015, Brightline recognized that a cutting-edge maintenance program would be crucial to keeping its trains on schedule. It would also be necessary to keep all five of its initial trainsets in running order during service hours. To ensure this high level of availability, Brightline signed a 30-year agreement to make Siemens its maintenance partner for the long term. Brightline began revenue service in January 2018. The maintenance program was up and running by then, operating out of a renovated depot in West Palm Beach that was updated to meet the special requirements of quick turnaround service.

  • UPCOMING: Brightline Signal Testing Extended Until Saturday, June 19 in West Palm Beach ALERT: Trains Outside of Testing Area Will Operate at Top Speeds of 79 MPH
    UPCOMING: Brightline Signal Testing Extended Until Saturday, June 19 in West Palm Beach ALERT: Trains Outside of Testing Area Will Operate at Top Speeds of 79 MPH MIAMI, Fla. (June 18, 2021) – Brightline signal work continues in Palm Beach County, through railroad crossings in West Palm Beach. Work will now run until 7 p.m., Saturday, June 19. The work supports positive train control (PTC) implementation and is expected to be completed by July 2021. Testing is in preparation of Brightline’s return to service later this year. Brightline trains will now be operating at FRA approved and authorized top speeds of 79 miles per hour outside of specific testing zones and along the entire 67-mile corridor from West Palm Beach to Miami. Trains will be adhering to quiet zones throughout testing and will not sound horns in designated areas. With trains now operating on the tracks at more regular intervals and at top speeds, Brightline is reminding the public, pedestrians, motorists and cyclists to make safe choices around trains and crossings. The safety message is simple: look, listen, live. Drivers and pedestrians should obey all traffic laws around crossings and never stop on the tracks! Remain alert and aware when near railroad tracks and only cross the tracks at a railroad crossing. NOTE: The following will occur during signal testing at the crossings listed below: • Brightline trains will be present in the work zones (listed below) and could be present throughout the entire corridor from West Palm Beach to Miami. • Horns WILL SOUND, even in quiet zones. This includes all trains (Brightline and freight trains).
