This edition is the Journal’s attempt to present information related to the emerging concept of Bus Rapid Transit and to assist the reader in determining its parameters, uniqueness, valid- ity, and significance. There is no question that there is a dramatic increase in interest in the BRT concept. In the United States, as part of a BRT Consortium with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), at least 17 cities are planning to incorporate aspects of Bus Rapid Transit into their transporta- tion networks. In addition, upwards of 40 to 50 communities in the United States are currently considering BRT in their transportation planning efforts. Advocates believe Bus Rapid Transit promises to improve travel time, service reliability and customer convenience, foster livable communities, and introduce cost-effective, environmentally-friendly technologies. The National Bus Rapid Transit Institute (NBRTI) has been established as a partnership of the University of South Florida and University of California at Berkeley, in cooperation with the FTA.The mission of the NBRTI is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and innovation for increasing the speed, efficiency, and reliability of high- capacity bus service through the imple- mentation of BRT systems. This edition of the Journal of Public Transportation covers a variety of topics related to Bus Rapid Transit,including three articles giving us a broad perspective of BRT by providing an overview, alternative characteristics, and BRT as a viable transportation alternative. In addition, articles are presented which examine the applicability of BRT in corridors with intermediate levels of transit demand, a methodology for setting a detection range for BRT signal priority, and an evaluation of BRT as a community alternative for door-to-door mobility. While BRT is a rapidly-growing national trend in the provision of public transportation service, there is still a long way to go in understanding the appropriate role for BRT in our transportation systems toolbox. It is hoped that this special edition of the Journal will increase communication between academics and practitioners in public transportation, aiming toward the common goal of improving the mobility of our citizens. Special recognition and appreciation go to our special editors for this issue, Messrs. Bert Arrillaga and Edward Thomas. Gary L. Brosch, Editor Journal of Public Transportation iv EDITORIAL I would like to thank CUTR and especially the editor of the Journal of Public Transportation for dedicating a special edition to the subject of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).The breadth of papers that were submitted for this special edition is an indication of the interest that has surfaced in BRT during the last few years. The Federal Transit Administration started the BRT program officially in 1999 by selecting sites that would be national demonstrations of BRT.The program has been involved with a variety of activities designed to provide information to the transit industry about the benefits and drawbacks of BRT. Projects implemented throughout the United States will be part of a for- mal data collection and evaluation effort designed to document operational impacts on rider- ship, travel times, costs, service effectiveness, and customer perception and acceptance.

  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT Que la Commission du transport en commun prenne connaissance de ce rapport. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The opening of the O-Train Confederation Line in 2018 marks a major transformation in the delivery of transit service in Ottawa. Bus routes that today operate on the Transitway between Blair and Tunney’s Pasture stations and through downtown will be replaced by the high-frequency train service. Customers will connect to the Confederation Line at Blair Station in the east, Tunney’s Pasture Station in the west, and St-Laurent and Hurdman stations in the central part of the transit system. The many positive outcomes of the conversion from bus rapid transit to light rail will be realized, the volume of buses in the downtown core will be significantly reduced, and bus routes in Ottawa’s communities will be realigned to connect with O-Train stations.

  • Getting Ottawa on Track: an Analysis of Two Light-Rail Proposals
    Queen’s Policy Review Volume 2, No. 2 (Fall 2011) Getting Ottawa on Track: An Analysis of Two Light-Rail Proposals Alex Carr Carleton University ABSTRACT This policy research paper will analyze light-rail transit in Ottawa and more specifically whether two proposed light-rail transportation (LRT) projects could successfully address the city’s need for faster, safer, more reliable mass transit. As the nation’s capital, Ottawa’s setting is unique and demands particular attention. Like other major cities, Ottawa struggles with public transportation, road congestion, urban planning, and is gradually coming to grips with the need for greenhouse gas reductions in the face of climate change. Currently, Ottawa is a world-leader in bus rapid transit (BRT), and besides a small foray into rail technology with the O-Train, the city relies exclusively on its buses. However, in light of future population and employment growth and the limitations of bus transportation, the City of Ottawa must develop an alternate transit plan to address these growing needs. After a lengthy civic debate, there is a widespread belief that light-rail technology is the best solution. The dialogue has now progressed to the location, size, scope, and other such details of an LRT system. This paper will begin with a brief overview of Ottawa’s contextual setting and carefully define the specific public transit dilemma facing the city. After establishing a set of parameters for a successful Ottawa LRT system, both proposed LRT projects will be systematically evaluated based on these criteria. With this evaluation in mind, final thoughts on each plan will be laid out in order to identify whether these projects would suit Ottawa’s needs.
