  • UNECE Tram and Metro Statistics Metadata Introduction File Structure
    UNECE Tram and Metro Statistics Metadata Introduction This file gives detailed country notes on the UNECE tram and metro statistics dataset. These metadata describe how countries have compiled tram and metro statistics, what the data cover, and where possible how passenger numbers and passenger-km have been determined. Whether data are based on ticket sales, on-board sensors or another method may well affect the comparability of passenger numbers across systems and countries, hence it being documented here. Most of the data are at the system level, allowing comparisons across cities and systems. However, not every country could provide this, sometimes due to confidentiality reasons. In these cases, sometimes either a regional figure (e.g. the Provinces of Canada, which mix tram and metro figures with bus and ferry numbers) or a national figure (e.g. Czechia trams, which excludes the Prague tram system) have been given to maximise the utility of the dataset. File Structure The disseminated file is structured into seven different columns, as follows: Countrycode: These are United Nations standard country codes for statistical use, based on M49. The codes together with the country names, region and other information are given here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/ (and can be downloaded as a CSV directly here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/#). City: This column gives the name of the city or region where the metro or tram system operates. In many cases, this is sufficient to identify the system. In some cases, non-roman character names have been converted to roman characters for convenience.

  • Streetcar Plan Posters
    WELCOME Welcome! The purpose of this open house is to present draft recommendations from the Bicycle Master Plan and the Streetcar System Plan to the public. City sta! and citizen volunteers are here to present the material and to answer questions. The room is divided into three sections: one for the Bicycle Master Plan, one for the Streetcar System Plan, and one called “Integration Station,” where we tie the two concepts together. Refreshments and child care services are also available. The bicycle and streetcar networks will play a key role in Portland’s future. Together, they will reduce reliance on the automobile for daily tasks, they will reinforce urban land use patterns, and they will help the City achieve its goals to combat climate change. This is the beginning of a transportation transformation. WHY PLAN? PORTLAND HAS A HISTORY OF SUCCESSFUL LONG-RANGE PLANNING In 1904, landscape architect John C. Olmsted produced a report for the City Among the parks that resulted from the Olmsted Plan are Holladay Park, Irving Parks Board. The plan served as a blueprint for development of the highly Park, Mt. Tabor (shown above), Overlook Park, Rocky Butte, Sellwood Park, valued park system we enjoy today. Washington Park, and several others.

  • The Path to Partnership: How Cities and Transit Systems Can Stop
    The Path to Partnership: How Cities and Transit Systems Can Stop Worrying and Join Forces Introduction In order to keep and attract riders, transit must be frequent, fast, and reliable. Maintaining frequent, fast, and reliable service in the congested conditions of most American cities requires prioritizing street level transit above automobile traffic, through measures like bus lanes, queue jumps, and signal priority. Relative to large capital projects, bus priority measures provide immediate improvements in travel time and reliability at a small fraction of the cost, and can be accomplished overnight with the right combination of paint, light duty street installations, and enforcement. The projects profiled in this study, including a bus lane in Everett, MA, New York City’s Select Bus Service, and Seattle’s Rapid Ride have seen travel time savings of 10-30%. While on-street transit improvements can be done quickly and cheaply, they aren’t necessarily easy to accomplish. Getting them done usually requires two things: · Political will and leadership from mayors, transit system managers and board members, and other leaders who must be willing to defend potentially controversial street and service changes like removing on-street parking spaces for a bus lane, or eliminating bus stops that are too close together. · Structuring transit agencies and city street agencies to more quickly and effectively deliver on-street transit projects. This may mean forging new relationships and decision-making processes, gathering new data, hiring for different skills, and figuring out new ways to prioritize projects. 2 Transit street projects can be tough to get done when there’s no history of doing them.

  • Bombardier Test Project Involves Induction Technology Page 1 of 3
    Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 1 of 3 Bombardier test project involves induction technology BY FRANÇOIS SHALOM, THE GAZETTE JANUARY 10, 2013 An artist’s conception of Bombardier’s new electric bus which has its battery recharged through a capacitor under bus stops. MONTREAL — There’s no budget, no timeline, no proven technology, much less shovels in the ground or even a signed contract. But it’s substantially more than an idle dream. Montreal’s Île-Ste-Hélène is scheduled to be the North American test site this year for Bombardier Inc.’s Primove pilot project, a technology that is being tested at four sites in Germany, where the firm’s rail division is based. Primove’s mandate is to develop electric mass-transit propulsion systems, but not the vehicles themselves. Intended to bypass the conventional notion of electric buses and trolley buses powered by cumbersome batteries, Primove rests on an inductive transfer of power from ground-based electrical power sources to very small batteries placed under, not in, the bus. Sensors on the vehicles would store the energy emitted by the electro-magnetic field, but only in small quantities, feeding the bus or trolley sufficiently to reach the next power source a short distance away. The system can charge while the vehicle is in motion or at rest. http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=7803624&sponsor= 2/28/2013 Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 2 of 3 “You bury power stations capable of charging rapidly, even instantly — we’re talking seconds — so that you don’t need to resort to (lengthier) conventional power boost systems currently on the market” like hybrid and electric vehicles, said Bombardier Transportation spokesperson Marc Laforge.

The project includes transit signal priority, expansion of the existing maintenance facility, modifications to two existing stations, and the purchase of 10 vehicles. The service is planned to operate 21 hours a day on weekdays and 17 to 19 hours a day on weekends and holidays, with service every five minutes during peak periods and every five to 7.5 minutes during weekday off-peak periods and weekends. Project Purpose: The project will serve the growing demand for Center City circulation trips and is expected to improve transit service quality and reliability downtown because it will operate in exclusive transit lanes. The streetcar will support local circulation for people arriving in the Center City on 56 bus routes, three bus rapid transit lines, regional light rail, two commuter rail lines, and a number of passenger ferries.
