INTRODUCTION BRT Planning in the Valley The 2003 MAG High Capacity Transit Study identified a number of corridors for high‐capacity transit improvements including light rail, dedicated bus rapid transit (BRT), and commuter rail. The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which was originally adopted in November of 2003, incorporated many of these corridors. In November 2004, Maricopa County voters passed Proposition 400, which reauthorized a county‐wide half‐cent sales tax originally approved in 1985, and provides funding for projects listed in the RTP. Eight arterial BRT corridors were identified in the RTP. The 2007 RTP Evaluation examined the Transit Life Cycle Program to evaluate the planning and funding assumptions of the transit portion of the RTP. The 2007 RTP Evaluation found inconsistencies in the classification of arterial BRT services and recommended that “a comprehensive arterial BRT study be completed to determine the appropriate level of capital treatments by corridor within the constraint of the total capital budget for the Arterial BRT program.” The 2007 RTP Evaluation noted the total cost of BRT guideway improvements in $2002 in the Transit Life Cycle Program, which was referenced as $92,500,500 ($113,764,900 in $2009). As mentioned in the working paper for Tasks 4 and 6, the 2007 RTP Evaluation allocated arterial BRT capital funding proportionately along the corridors with dedicated BRT routes, but noted that actual implementation may differ. Since approval of the RTP, the Main Street LINK arterial BRT service has begun passenger service operations, and planning for the Arizona Avenue BRT service is in the Final Design stage and will shortly be entering construction. In addition to the regional studies mentioned above, the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department undertook the “Plan for RAPID Central‐ South Mountain.” (Recommendations from this study are noted in the section on the South Central/Baseline corridors.) Given the context for BRT planning in the Valley, this project, the Comprehensive Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Planning Study, is tasked with identifying demand for BRT and defining operational characteristics, capital infrastructure needs, and fleet requirements for the Arizona Avenue, Grand Avenue, Scottsdale Road/Rural Road, South Central Avenue/Baseline Road, and Chandler Boulevard arterial BRT lines. The study considers how operational characteristics and needs of the BRT corridors may change as the regional transit network develops over the life of the 20 year transit program. Finally,

Zahid Reza Title: Impacts of Queue Jumpers and Transit Signal Priority on Bus Rapid Transit Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Aleksandar Stevanovic Degree: Master of Science Year: 2012 Exclusive bus lanes and the Transit Signal Priority are often not effective in saturated peak-traffic conditions. An alternative way of providing priority for transit can be queue jumpers, which allows buses to bypass and then cut out in front of waiting queue by getting an early green signal. Utah Transit Authority deployed Bus Rapid Transit system at Salt Lake County, Utah along W 3500 S.

  • York Region Transit (YRT/Viva) Ridership Statistics - March 2014
    Transportation and Community Planning MEMORANDUM TO: Committee of the Whole FROM: Daniel Kostopoulos, P.Eng. Commissioner of Transportation and Community Planning DATE: May 1, 2014 RE: York Region Transit (YRT/Viva) Ridership Statistics - March 2014 This memorandum provides an overview of YRT/Viva ridership statistics for March 2014. YRT/Viva’s March revenue ridership was 1.88 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5,200 revenue riders, or a decrease of 0.3 per cent compared to March 2013. Weather Heavy snowfalls and colder temperatures contributed to the lower ridership in March 2014 as ridership decreased during days with extreme cold temperatures and heavy snowfalls. Between March 3 and 6, 2014, York Region experienced four consecutive days with mean temperature below -10º Celsius and one day of snow. During this period, ridership showed a seven per cent decrease when compared to the same time period in 2013. The mean temperature in March 2014 was -4.8º Celsius, compared to -0.3º Celsius in March 2013[1]. Total snowfall accumulation was 29.1 cm in March 2014[1] compared to only 10.2 cm in the same month last year. There were seven days requiring winter maintenance in York Region compared with three days in March 2013. Employment The national unemployment rate in March 2014 was 6.9 per cent, a decrease of 0.3 per cent from the 7.2 per cent rate in March 2013[2]. York Region is located within the Employment Insurance Economic Region of Toronto which recorded an unemployment rate of 8.3 per cent in March 2014, a decrease of 0.2 per cent as compared to the 8.5 per cent rate in March 2013[3].

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Framework for Transit Equity: Metrobus Service Guidelines
    Executive Committee Action Item IV-A December 10, 2020 Framework for Transit Equity: Metrobus Service Guidelines Page 36 of 105 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary MEAD Number: Resolution: Action Information 202236 Yes No TITLE: Framework for Transit Equity: Metrobus Guidelines PRESENTATION SUMMARY: Action item to request adoption of Metrobus Service Guidelines PURPOSE: Staff will recommend Board adoption of new Metrobus Service Guidelines. DESCRIPTION: This presentation will update the Board on changes to the draft Service Guidelines based on comments from Metro’s jurisdictional partners and local bus service providers. Summary results from the application of the guidelines to Metrobus Lines/Routes will be provided based on data from July 2019-February 2020. A discussion of how the results can be used to improve bus service and equity will be provided. Staff will recommend Board adoption of Metrobus Service Guidelines to inform future service plans. Contractors and Interested Parties Involved in the Service Guidelines and Annual Line Performance Work: AECOM, Foursquare Integrated Transportation Planning, and IBI Group Key Highlights: • Metrobus Service guidelines are fundamental to ensuring equitable service across the region and are one of the main building blocks for service planning, budget decisions, and conducting a network redesign. Metrobus Service guidelines have not been updated since 2000. • Improving Metrobus directly helps address longstanding inequities in the region. • Updating Metrobus service guidelines was a Bus Transformation Project recommendation and was widely supported by our jurisdictional partners. The guidelines will create a clear and formalized approach to routing, service, and budget decisions. • Feedback from jurisdictions and local bus providers is incorporated into the service guidelines.
