Report out: Baltimore Transit Hubs
- 1. Global City Teams Challenge 2016 Kickoff November 12-13, 2015 Report Out: Baltimore Transit Hubs Reporter: Sam Krassenstein, University of Michigan – Ross School of Business
- 2. Project Scope • Description – Creation of a multi-modal network of “Smart Transit Hubs” for Baltimore • Intersection for Public-Transit, Car-Sharing, Bike-Sharing • Safe greenway connections to BRT routes, bike routes • More than transit – Community wi-fi enabled spaces to promote local artists, entrepreneurs, and musicians • Benefits • Reduction of Single-Occupancy Vehicle use • Lower carbon output • Better citizen engagement with community
- 3. Team Composition • Private Sector – Jill Sorensen @ Bilyan – Justine Chen @ GE Lighting – Josh Kolleda @ Booz Allen Hamilton – Ruthbea Yesner Clarke @ IDC • Universities – Russ Clark @ GA Tech – Tamer Nadeem @ ODU – Albert Leon-Garcia @ University of Toronto – Yan Huang @ University of North Texas – Sam Krassenstein @ University of Michigan • Cities – MaryBeth Henry @ City of Portland – Bridjette Parker @ City of Newport News – Fred Payne @ Greenville, SC
- 4. Project Approach • Major Requirements / Actions – Designate testbed & strategic pilot transit locations (i.e., Baltimore Penn Station, Johns Hopkins – East Baltimore, Inner Harbor) – Integrate real-time transit data sources – Enhance bus stop quality (ADA compliance, not clean or well-lit, vagrancy) – Clear signage towards and at Transit Hubs
- 5. Performance Indicators • Proposed KPIs – Citizen/public perception of public-transit – Data sources that are interoperable – Visibility of real-time transit data – Ridership – On-Time “Trip” Performance
- 10. Conclusion • Creation of a pilot network of “Smart-Transit Hubs” in Baltimore with plan to expanding to greater Maryland – Multimodal community centers – Use of trip-centric KPIs – Consolidation of real-time data sources – Improvement of public perception towards transit
Editor's Notes
- As many of you know, the State of Maryland recently decided against investing in expanding the Red Line in Baltimore. This has left many of us wondering what direction the State should take instead to encourage development and better utilization of existing transportation assets. We are advocating for the identification of key strategic transit locations, “Transit Hubs,” in the State of Maryland that operate bus rapid bus transit (BRT) service to and from these Transit Hubs while providing multi-modal transportation options such as bike-sharing, car sharing and electric vehicle charging that would be available at each one of these locations to support commuters. A Transit Hub is a location that coordinates existing public transportation options like bus or rail with multi-modal transportation resources like pedestrian, cycling, bike-share and car-share. More than just a rail station or a bus stop, a Transit Hub enables someone to get to and from public transportation using a connecting bus, shuttle, bike or car-share service, thus eliminating the need to own a car in order to get to and from work or around town. Transit facilities and services are an essential element of the social, economic, and cultural fabric of every city and region in Maryland. Presently, Maryland’s transit resources are distributed, overlapping, and inefficient. Greater coordination would save operating and capital expenses, reduce energy consumption, pollution and traffic congestion.
