  • 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.

  • Final Environmental Impact Report
    July 24, 2015 Matthew A. Beaton, Secretary Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs Attention: MEPA Office – Holly Johnson, MEPA #14590 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 RE: The Station at Riverside, MEPA #14590 Dear Secretary Beaton: The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) regularly reviews proposals deemed to have regional impacts. The Council reviews proposed projects for consistency with MetroFuture, the regional policy plan for the Boston metropolitan area, the Commonwealth’s Sustainable Development Principles, the GreenDOT initiative, consistency with Complete Streets policies and design approaches, as well as impacts on the environment. BH Normandy Riverside, the Proponent, proposes to redevelop an MBTA property at Riverside Station on Grove Street in Newton, off Exit 22 of Interstate 95 (Route 128). Since the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) filing in 2011, the proposed project has been downsized, but still is a significant development project in Greater Boston. The current proposal is for a mixed-use redevelopment in and around the current parking lot for the MBTA’s Riverside Station, the western terminus of the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch light rail line. The project site is defined as the 22.35 acres owned by the MBTA, which currently consists of the MBTA rail yard operations, a Green Line maintenance facility, a bus terminal facility, and surface parking. A 9.38-acre parcel will be leased to the Proponent for redevelopment. An Intermodal Commuter Facility (ICF) will be constructed on approximately 2.11 acres and will be operated by the MBTA. The MBTA will continue its operations on the remaining approximately 10.86 acres.

  • Transit Capacity Evaluation
    Riverside Redevelopment - Transportation Impact and Access Study (TIAS) Revised 2020-02-13 Transit Capacity Evaluation Because the project site will be integrated with the existing transit station, public transit plays an important role in how people will get to and from the site. As such, an in-depth analysis of the existing transit system and its ability to accommodate future passenger demands was prepared. This section contains the following information: › Methodolgy › Existing MBTA Green (D) Line Capacity o Planned MBTA Green Line (D) Improvements › Existing MBTA Bus Service Capacity › Current and Future Transit Operations › Projected Ridership and Distribution of Project Generated Transit Trips › Future Transit Service Capacity Analysis Methodolgy In an effort to understand the potential for additional ridership, available capacity was estimated on transit lines that could be utilized for access to and from the site. For this study, the MBTA Green Line rapid transit (subway) line and the MBTA Route 558 bus service were evaluated for project impacts on passenger capacity. The capacity analysis results in a comparison of the expected demand for transit to the planned capacity of the service. Thus, for the subway and bus lines, we first identify the service segments that are expected to be used by riders generated by the proposed development project. For each service, we identify the peak passenger load point – the service segment that is most crowded, based on existing ridership, by time of day (for buses it’s by trip; for subway, it’s by 30-minute service period). These passenger loads are compared against the service’s capacity.
