Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”
“Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018). -

Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts
Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts by Andrew S. Jakes* Abstract Las Vegas, Reno, Sun City, Foxwoods, Tunica, Broad Beach, and several other international mega-resorts, have discovered that People Movers (Automated Guideway Transit) improve their image and subsequently attract new customers. In addition to presenting the rope-propelled People Mover technologies, this paper reviews how specific installations have solved visitor circulation needs in many hotel resort complexes in Las Vegas and elsewhere. This approach can be duplicated to many ski resorts worldwide since the level of ridership in Las Vegas frequently exceeds levels typically found on ski resort shuttle bus systems worldwide. We particularly focus on existing, proven technologies and specific installations, including ropeway Horizontal Elevators (Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Primadonna, and Circus-Circus Automated People Mover installations). People Mover systems represent major changes and advances in equipment, facilities, operations, and services in comparison with conventional rail, bus, taxi, and other street modes. System performance and capacities can be tailored to match expected loads and a broad range of performance and operational requirements. Suppliers usually claim, with justification, that they can adapt their product to buyer's specific needs. Vehicle size can be expanded or reduced. Seats can be added or removed from vehicles. Various grades and curves can be accommodated by altering guideway design and speeds. Riding the circulation People Mover system can be as convenient, safe and comfortable as riding a modern elevator. Stations can be sufficiently numerous to provide development-wide access. Passengers experience little or no waiting for vehicles. The operation can be environmentally friendly with no emissions, very little noise and minimum visual impacts. -

Detroit People Mover Lessons Learned from Transparent Data
Memorandum To: Roy Taylor, MDOT From: Ericka Alexander/Oliver Lindsay, DTC Date: June 19, 2019 RE: Lessons Learned from the Transparent Data Sets (Website Optimization) Project Background In 2014, the Detroit Transportation Corporation (DTC) received a $150,000 grant administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The purpose of the grant was to create a more user-friendly website and mobile phone application for the Detroit People Mover (DPM). Following the issue of the Request for Proposal, subsequent review and selection, the project began in 2017 and was completed December 1, 2018. This memorandum will provide an overview of the lessons learned during the grant period. Website Optimization Overview The original https://www.thepeoplemover.com website launched in December 2005 with one additional upgrade 10 years later. The grant supported the adaptive design of the website and mobile app, and development of backend code to launch on various platforms, devices and browsers. The grant enables the People Mover to have a digital platform on par with other, local public transportation systems and yet distinguish and integrate the People Mover’s unique operation. The hybrid design links the content management system (CMS) to both the website and app in downtown Detroit. Use of the Website and App • Announcements and general information regarding People Mover service and operations • Wayfinding and trip planning to increase access to close mobility options, downtown accessibility and long-term density 1 • Building last-mile / first-mile connectivity via links and information to other transit agencies • Ordering transit passes online by desktop or mobile phone • Submission of standardized forms and applications, such as employment, contractor permits and advertising. -
