B Fb F Nr P W G Nb Fr L Oc BL GL BL BL Boston Historic “T” Expansion Track Map To Lowell, Haverhill See Reading & Reading and Wakefield How to read this map Wakefield Breakout READING The purpose of this map is to show the history of all official expansion plans for the MBTA subway system from its inception in 1897 until today. The R map acts as a “choose your own adventure” where by each variant of every plan is drawn. The reader can pick and choose which lines they think High St could have been built and what the system might have looked like today if they had. To show the evolution of these plans over time this map contains different layers of proposals. The current system is drawn as is but proposed lines are drawn with a black outline. Pre-World War II plans are drawn in lighter colors while post-War plans are drawn in darker colors. Some lines show Main St two totally different services at the same time to indicate how service would have differed under alternative plans. WOBURN Greenwood BURLINGTON E R For the majority of proposals specific stations were outlined. Stations which have no official designation are indicated with an asterisk (*). Lines which 14 were proposed but not developed into actual plans, or alternative extensions to existing plans, are indicated with a grey dashed line.

  • Conceptual Plan
    About the Cover Photo The photo on the cover of this report was taken on December 17, 2010, around 8:00 AM. The view is from the Savin Hill Avenue overpass and looks almost directly south. This overpass is shown in Figure 3-3 of the report, and the field of view includes land shown in Figure 3-2. At the right is the recently completed headhouse of the Savin Hill Red Line station. Stopped at the station platform is an inbound Red Line train that started at Ashmont and will travel to Alewife. The station is fully ADA-compliant, and the plan presented in this report requires no modification to this station. Next to the Red Line train is an inbound train from one of the three Old Colony commuter rail branches. There is only one track at this location, as is the case throughout most of the Old Colony system. This train has a mixed consist of single-level and bi-level coaches, and is being pushed by a diesel locomotive, which is mostly hidden from view by the bi-level coaches. Between the two trains is an underpass beneath the Ashmont branch of the Red Line. This had been a freight spur serving an industrial area on the west side of the Ashmont branch tracks. Sections A-2.3 and A-2.4 of this report present an approach to staging railroad reconstruction that utilizes the abandoned freight spur and underpass. The two tracks to the left of the Old Colony tracks serve the Braintree Red Line branch.

  • 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.

  • 2020 FMCB Annual Report
    2020 FMCB Annual Report This report fulfills the requirements of Section 207 of Chapter 46 of the Acts of 2015 specifying that the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB) report annually on, among other things, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s “own-source revenue, operating budget, capital plan and progress toward meeting performance metrics and targets.” This final report is presented to the Legislature after five and a half years of governance by the FMCB, with just under six months left in our extended term. 2020 was an extraordinary year, marked by an unprecedented global pandemic, nationwide protests, political and racial tensions, and substantial changes in the ways we live and work. Due to the widespread adoption of teleworking and the closure of hotels, restaurants, and other sectors to slow the spread of COVID-19, MBTA ridership fell sharply. By the end of October, Commuter Rail ridership was down 87% compared to 2019, with the system carrying only 8.5% of its pre- COVID morning peak ridership. Ferry ridership stood at 12% of pre-COVID ridership, with the MBTA paying to operate 112 trips daily with an average of seven riders per trip. Ridership at gated rapid transit (subway) stations was still roughly one-quarter of pre-COVID levels. Even bus ridership, which serves our most durable, transit-dependent customers, had fallen to about 45% of the baseline by October. This decline in ridership, of course, had significant implications for own source revenue. In November 2020, fare revenues were down 78% compared to November 2019. Parking and advertising revenues dropped in line with fares, while real estate revenues remained more stable.
