  • Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project
    Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project PROJECT OVERVIEW The Maurice J. Tobin Memorial Bridge and the Chelsea Viaduct (U.S. Route 1) are undergoing rehabilitation in order to remain safe and in service through the 21st Century. Not subject to major rehabilitation since the 1970’s due to concern for regional mobility, work must be undertaken now to ensure this vital roadway link can continue to serve Massachusetts and New England. When complete, this project will remove 15% of the structurally defcient bridge deck in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In order to minimize the impacts to the 63,000 vehicles per day using Route 1, the MBTA Bus Routes that cross the viaduct and bridge, and the residents of Chelsea, MassDOT is coordinating the two projects, and resequencing the construction phasing for each project so that construction is carried out efciently, efectively, and in a timely manner. These changes will lessen the impact on commuters and abutters, and reduces the risk of project delays. Massachusetts residents see these two projects as one, and so does MassDOT. CHANGES TO PROJECT SEQUENCING Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves work has been resequenced to reduce nighttime operations and travel impacts for all bridge users. The new construction plan shifts work on the Chelsea Viaduct to 2019 to match Tobin Bridge trafc management, continuously allowing 2 lanes of travel in each direction during peak commute hours for the duration of the project. Overall these changes will speed up construction, increase the availability of two travel lanes in each direction, reduce the impacts on commuters using the corridor, and allow for main line work completion in 2020.

  • Chapter 4: Systemwide Context of The
    CHAPTER 4 Systemwide Context for the PMT TRANSIT SYSTEM: EXISTING CONDITIONS OVERVIEW The Boston metropolitan area is served by an extensive transit system comprising several comple- mentary components. One component is a hub-and-spoke radial network of rapid transit, express bus, commuter rail, and commuter boat lines that is geared, during peak operations, to efficiently move large volumes of people into and out of the urban core for weekday commutes. Local bus and trackless trolley services fill in gaps and connect the radial “spokes” by offering line haul service in heavily congested urban areas, feeder service to rail, and some inter-suburban linkages. Demand- responsive transportation for people with disabilities and the elderly is also provided. The MBTA is the primary transit provider in the Boston region. The MBTA district is made up of 175 cities and towns and includes communities outside of the 101 municipalities of the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization area. The MBTA also provides commuter rail service to Provi- dence, Rhode Island, which lies outside the MBTA district. As can be seen in the following table, almost 99% of daily boardings are on the MBTA’s primary modes: rapid transit (heavy rail and light rail), bus rapid transit (BRT), bus/trackless trolley, and commuter rail. SY S TEMWIDE CONTEXT FOR THE PMT 4-1 TABLE 4-1 operating between Wonderland Station in Re- Typical Weekday Boardings by Mode vere and Bowdoin Station in the Government (Federal Fiscal Year 2007) Center area of Boston.

  • Appendix a Northeast Corridor: Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions
    Appendix A Northeast Corridor: Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions BACKGROUND EXISTING CONDITIONS The Northeast Corridor extends from the Boston Harbor to Merrimac, Amesbury, and Salisbury bor- dering New Hampshire north of the Merrimack River. The corridor includes eight cities, 24 towns, and East Boston (a neighborhood of Boston), including Logan Airport. In the Northeast Corridor is found the historic factory city of Lynn, as well as the maritime communities of Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, Gloucester, and Newburyport. Large swaths of the corridor north of Cape Ann are protected marine estuaries. The MBTA offers rapid transit, bus, and commuter rail services across much of this corridor. The Blue Line has eight stations from Maverick Square in East Boston to Wonderland in Revere. The Blue Line also has a stop serving Logan Airport, from which dedicated free Massport shuttle buses circulate to all air terminals. MBTA Blue Line service to Logan Airport has recently been supplemented by the popular Silver Line bus rapid transit service from South Station. Maverick and Wonderland Stations both serve as major bus hubs, though some important services operate from other stations, notably buses to Winthrop from Orient Heights operated by Paul Revere Transportation under contract to the MBTA. MBTA buses also serve the corridor communities of Chelsea, Saugus, Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Peabody, Beverly and Danvers. Many MBTA buses in this corridor operate all the way to Haymarket Station, in Boston Proper. These routes use the I-90 Ted Williams Tunnel, Route 1A Sumner Tunnel, or U.S. Route 1 Tobin Bridge. Because these routes use the regional express highways, they are able to provide a high level of service.

  • Red / Blue Line Connector Assessment – Land Use, Population, and Ridership Memo 2 2
    SUMMARY MEMORANDUM: POPULATION, LAND USE, AND RIDERSHIP CHANGES UPDATE TO THE 2010 DEIR FOR THE RED LINE/BLUE LINE CONNECTOR Published October 2018 1. Introduction In 2010, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the connection of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) Red Line and Blue Line in Boston. The Red/Blue Line Connector Project consisted of extending the Blue Line beyond its current terminus at Bowdoin Station along Cambridge Street to the Red Line at Charles/ MGH Station. In March 2010, MassDOT submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). In May 2010, MEPA approved the DEIR. At the time, MassDOT had not identified funding for the construction of the Project. Recent changes in development and growth in Revere, East Boston, and Cambridge, as well as advancements in construction technologies, have generated a renewed interest in revisiting the need for the Red/Blue Line Connector. MassDOT’s Office of Transportation and Planning (OTP), working with the MBTA, has initiated a study to reassess the Project by revisiting previous assumptions developed during the 2010 DEIR. The purpose of this memorandum is to update the data and assumptions regarding population, land use, and ridership from the 2010 DEIR’s Purpose and Need. The 2010 DEIR focused primarily on four Census tracks surrounding the Cambridge Street corridor project area. However, due to their current access to the Blue and Red lines, the communities in this area would likely not have a large effect on demand for and use of the connection.

Many of the » Jay Flynn municipalities on the inner route are environmental » Jason Frost justice (EJ) communities, with residents forced to decide between infrequent, costly rail service or affordable but » David Houser slow bus service. The stations along the trunk should » Alon Levy get all-day high-frequency service, electrification, fare » Elizabeth Martin integration, and additional infill stations. These changes would provide similar frequency and station spacing as » Jackson Moore-Otto the Red Line branch to Braintree. » John Takuma Moody » Matt Robare » Asher Smith » Andrew Stephens » Jack Spence TransitMatters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving transit in and around Boston by offering new perspectives, uniting transit advocates, and informing the public.

  • Travel Demand Forecasts and No-Build Project Descriptions
    APPENDIX TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTS AND NO-BUILD PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTS In developing Paths to a Sustainable Region, the MPO conceptualized the region’s transportation needs over the next 23 years. Land use patterns, growth in employment and population, and trends in travel patterns differ in how they affect demands on the region’s transportation system. In order to estimate future demands on the system for this Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the MPO utilized a regional travel- demand forecast model. The model is a planning tool used to evaluate the impacts of transportation alternatives given varying assumptions with regard to population, employment, land use, and traveler behavior. The model is used to assess potential projects in terms of air quality benefits, travel-time savings, and congestion reduction. Travel-Demand Model Characteristics The travel model set simulates existing travel conditions and forecasts future-year travel on the eastern Massachusetts transit and highway systems. To get a more accurate picture of the travel demands in the Boston region, all communities within the commuting shed (the area from which people commute) for eastern Massachusetts are included in the modeled area. This area includes an additional 63 communities that are outside the 101-municipality MPO region. The model represents all MBTA rail and bus lines, all private express-bus carriers, all commuter boat services, all limited-access highways and principal arterials, and many minor arterials and local roadways. The region is subdivided into over 2,700 transportation analysis zones (TAZs). The model set is made up of several models, each of which simulates a step in the travel decision-making process.

This thesis proposes a general framework of engineering resilience for infrastructure systems in the context of climate change and illustrates its application for the rail rapid transit network in Boston. Within this framework, projected coastal flood events are treated as exogenous factors that inform exposure. Endogenous network characteristics are modeled by mapping at-grade tracks, water ingress points, track elevations, crossover switches, and critical dispatch yards to produce a dual network representation of the system, capturing physical and topological characteristics.
