Central Transportation Planning Staff Directed by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO is composed of state and regional agencies and authorities, and local governments. June 2010 ABSTRACT This commuter rail report belongs to a multivolume set of reports on the findings of a systemwide survey of Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority riders that was conducted for the MBTA by the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) in 2008–09. This survey covers all of the modes operated by the MBTA: bus (including trackless trolley), bus rapid transit, heavy rail (the Blue, Red, and Orange Lines), light rail (the Green Line and the Mattapan High-Speed Line), commuter rail, and boat. 1 The most recent comparable systemwide passenger survey was conducted during 1993– 2000. The purpose of the systemwide survey was to gather data that are not easily obtained through any other means. The data are used to update the regional travel-demand model that is routinely used by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); they are also available for use by other entities, public and private, as well as interested individuals. This report comprises 12 chapters and 2 appendices. In the chapters, data tables and summary text present information about commuter rail travel, including why trips are made, where riders are coming from and going to, and how riders get to and from the service. Information is also provided on the demographics of commuter rail riders, as well as their automobile ownership, how they pay their fares, and how they perceive the quality of MBTA commuter rail service. The second chapter of this report provides an overview of the results for the entire commuter rail system, while each subsequent chapter covers one or more types of data on a line-by-line basis. The same types of data are tabulated on a station-by-station basis in two companion volumes, one for stations on the North Side lines of the system and one for stations on the South Side lines. 1 Reports on bus rapid transit (the Silver Line) are included in the set, although their data are from surveys conducted by CTPS in 2005 and 2006.

This survey covers all of the modes operated by the MBTA: bus (including trackless trolley), heavy rail (the Blue, Red, and Orange Lines), light rail (the Green Line and the Mattapan High-Speed Line), commuter rail, and boat. Reports on bus rapid transit (the Silver Line) are included in the set; their data are from surveys conducted by CTPS in 2005 and 2006. Separate survey instruments were developed for each mode, but the same categories of information were gathered through each. The purpose of the systemwide survey was to gather data that are not easily obtained through any other means. Some of the data will be used to update the regional travel-demand model that is routinely used by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to estimate the future impact of projects on the transportation network. In addition, as with past surveys, the data obtained through this survey will be available for use by the MBTA, CTPS, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, other transportation agencies, academic researchers, consultants, and private citizens. The most recent comparable systemwide passenger survey was conducted during 1993–2000. Most of the commuter rail system was surveyed in 1993, except for the Old Colony Lines (Middleborough/Lakeville, Kingston/ Plymouth, and Greenbush), which were surveyed in 1998. The heavy rail and light rail networks were last surveyed in 1994, and the bus and trackless trolley lines in 1995. Commuter boat and ferry services were surveyed in 2000. The results of this systemwide survey have become outdated. 1.2 COMMUTER RAIL SURVEY METHOD This volume presents the survey results for riders on the commuter rail system. The commuter rail survey form, a copy of which may be found in Appendix B, contained 24 questions (33 questions, including subquestions). The questions were designed to gather data regarding the specific trip each rider was making CTPS 1-1 MBTA SYSTEMWIDE PASSENGER SURVEY: COMMUTER RAIL SYSTEM when he or she received the survey form (such as trip origin, destination, and purpose), as well as demographic data (such as rider age, gender, income, and ethnicity) and subjective views of the rider regarding service quality. In addition, at the end of the survey form, space was provided in which the rider could write comments and suggestions of his or her own choosing. A different version of the commuter rail survey was distributed to Greenbush Line riders. Most of the questions were the same, but additional questions were included to gain additional information about the how the restoration of service on the Greenbush Line affected transportation decisions of the line’s riders. Results from these questions are not presented in this volume, but they are available upon request. Survey forms were offered to all riders using commuter rail trains scheduled to arrive at or depart from the Boston terminals between approximately 6:30 AM and 3:00 PM on a typical weekday in 2008 or 2009. Depending on service frequency, train length, the number of stations per route, and the anticipated ridership volume, surveys were distributed on-board trains on some routes and to passengers entering station platforms on other routes These distribution strategies were designed to provide approximately 85% of the weekday commuter rail riders with an opportunity to receive a survey form during what would be considered typical travel conditions.2 Completed survey forms could be returned to the survey distributors or Customer Service Agents in rapid transit stations, or could be mailed in postage-free.

  • 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.

  • Actions to Transform Mobility
    Actions to Transform Mobility TRANSPORT KENDALL Navigating the Growth and Transformation of Kendall Square Introduction The Kendall Square has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 40 years. The scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs in Kendall Square together have created one of the most dynamic innovation districts in the world. Kendall’s innovation ecosystem is dependent on the talent and resources of institutions and companies located in close proximity. Close connections to Boston’s medical centers, investment resources, and education institutions have likewise been invaluable. Kendall Square has become central to Massachusetts’s economy attracting talent from every corner of the state, however Kendall is not as geographically central within the regional transit system as downtown Boston. Despite this, Kendall has grown from one red line station into a model transit-oriented development district with a truly multi-modal commute pattern, supported by the City of Cambridge’s progressive parking and transportation demand policies. Kendall has spurred the emergence of new districts focused on life science and technology innovation throughout the region. The state’s economic growth is dependent on reliable transportation connections between where people live and work. Transport Kendall seeks to maintain and enhance the transit-oriented development model in Cambridge. To do this, Transport Kendall promotes future investment in the transit system to serve this economic hub, while relieving congestion and supporting regional
