Littleton-Westford Commuter Rail Shuttle Well Now There New Service Starts June 4, 2018 Littleton-Westford Commuter Rail Shuttle Do you work along the Rte. 110 technology corridor in Littleton or Westford? Do you wish there was a better way to get there besides Route 2 or 495? Do you wish you could take the Commuter Rail to get there, but it’s too far to walk? (You might be able to bike it if you’re really ambitious.) Do you wish there was some kind of shuttle going between the Littleton/495 Commuter Rail Station and the Westford Technology Park? (Rather specific I know. ) Well now there is! Whether you take the Commuter Rail from as far west as Wachusett Station in Fitchburg or are coming from the suburbs of Boston: get off the train at Littleton Station and let MART take you the rest of the way. Do you live in the Littleton/Westford area and take the Commuter Rail into Boston, but there just isn’t enough parking at the Littleton/495 Station? Well we can solve that problem too. A Park & Ride lot has been setup at Juniper Networks. We pick up there and bring you to the Commuter Rail Station. A.M. Service P.M.

  • PARK-AND-RIDE LOTS INTRODUCTION a Means of Managing Congestion on the Highway System Is to Increase Occupancy Levels in Vehicles
    CENTRAL MINNESOTA AREA COMMUTER STUDY | FINAL REPORT Minnesota Department of Transportation 10 PARK-AND-RIDE LOTS INTRODUCTION A means of managing congestion on the highway system is to increase occupancy levels in vehicles. An objective of MnDOT, and specifically District 3, is to promote park-and-ride facilities as one means of accomplishing this goal. This chapter reviews existing and potential park-and-ride facilities, and summarizes recommended improvements. For clarity purposes, "park-and-ride facility" is defined as a location where it is possible to park cars for long periods of time, and where transit service is available and/or where carpools/vanpools form. The term park-and-pool, which was used in Chapters 4 and 5 to distinguish those lots without transit from those with transit, is not used here to allow for a consistent approach in addressing commuter needs. DEFINING PARK-AND-RIDE PROTOTYPES FOR DISTRICT 3 The review of and recommended alternatives for park-and-ride facilities is based on potential ridership demand, discussed in Chapter 9, along with general practices for location and design of park-and-ride facilities. For the purpose of defining park-and-ride improvements and development needs, a hierarchy for facilities was developed, along with prototype design with proposed amenities. Figure 10-1 provides the proposed park-and-ride hierarchy for District 3. Figure 10-1 Park-and-Ride Hierarchy Park-and-Ride Elements Small Facility Medium Facility Large Facility Extra-Large Facility Required Site Size 1.0 Acre Site 2.0 Acre Site 4.0 Acre Site # acres TBD for specific (approx.) site Transit Service Carpool/Vanpool Optional* Yes Regional Transitway Park-and-Ride Spaces 20 to 49 50 to 99 100 to 199 200 + Acceleration/Deceleration No Site specific Site specific; Follow Metropolitan Lanes or Signal assumed for most Council Regional Transitway Guidelines, adopted February 2012 Identification Signage 1 Corridor, 1 Corridor, 1 Corridor, 1 Onsite 1 Onsite 1 Onsite Light Poles 2 4 8 Follow Metropolitan Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc.

  • Baltimore-Washington Superconducting Maglev Draft
    Chapter 2 Purpose and Need BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON SUPERCONDUCTING MAGLEV PROJECT DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND SECTION 4(f) EVALUATION Purpose and Need Chapter 2: Purpose and Need As discussed in Chapter 1, the Proposed Action includes the construction and operation of a Superconducting Magnetic Levitation Project (SCMAGLEV Project) system between Baltimore, MD and Washington, D.C. The SCMAGLEV Project is a high-speed rail technology that can operate at speeds of over 300 miles per hour on a grade- separated, fixed guideway powered by magnetic forces. The evaluation of the SCMAGLEV technology in the Washington, D.C. to Baltimore corridor is the result of Congressional direction in annual appropriations relating to Maglev technology, and previous studies that have identified this corridor as the location for development of a project under the Maglev Deployment Program (MDP). Note to reader – this section has been augmented to include any pertinent data that has been updated since the Purpose and Need document was concurred upon in October 2017. All data updates are included for informational and comparative purposes only. 2.1 Project Purpose The purpose of the SCMAGLEV Project is to evaluate, and ultimately construct and operate, a safe, revenue-producing, high-speed ground transportation system that achieves the optimum operating speed of the SCMAGLEV technology to significantly reduce travel time in order to meet the capacity and ridership needs of the Baltimore-Washington region. To achieve the operational and safety metrics, the SCMAGLEV Project must include: • Infrastructure, vehicles, and operating procedures required for the SCMAGLEV system. • An alignment which allows the highest practical speed that can be attained by SCMAGLEV technology at a given location and which avoids the need for reduction in speed other than that imposed by the normal acceleration and braking curves into and out of stations.

  • The Use of a Park and Ride System—A Case Study Based on the City of Cracow (Poland)
    energies Article The Use of a Park and Ride System—A Case Study Based on the City of Cracow (Poland) El˙zbietaMacioszek * and Agata Kurek Transport Systems and Traffic Engineering Department, Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Krasi´nskiego8 Street, 40-019 Katowice, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-32-603-41-50 Received: 15 May 2020; Accepted: 3 July 2020; Published: 5 July 2020 Abstract: The park and ride (P&R) parking type is usually located near peripheral public transport stops. These parking places are dedicated to people who, after leaving their vehicle in the parking, continue their journey to the city center using some form of public transport such as bus, metro, rail or tram systems. This article aims to examine the features associated with P&R parking locations in use in Cracow (Poland). The analysis included the number of entries and exits to and from parking during particular periods of the day, week and year, parking time of vehicles, and parking space use. A parking peak hour factor was also calculated, which expresses the crowding degree of vehicle entries/exits in/out parking during a particular period. In addition, the paper presents an analysis of factors determining users to P&R parking use. In the modeling process, logit models were used, which, as stated after analyzing the literature on the subject, were already used in various countries around the world to describe the behavior of P&R parking users. However, so far, such research relating to Polish conditions has been not published in the available literature.
