Trackless Trams:Integrating Innovative Transit and Urban RegenerationJason Boissonneault
This document discusses trackless trams as an innovative transit solution that can help integrate transit and urban regeneration. Some key points:
1. Trackless trams have lower costs than traditional trams, do not require tracks, and can increase land values along corridors.
2. Trackless trams are being demonstrated and tested in various cities around the world, and guidelines/manuals are available.
3. Advocates argue that trackless trams could be funded through transit-activated development without large government funding, and could help create less car-dependent cities.
Before the mid-20th century, trams were a dominant form of public transportation in Australian cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. However, they declined in popularity due to the rise of private vehicles and buses. Now, light rail networks are being introduced or expanded again in several Australian cities. A transportation model was used to estimate how a restored 1947 tram network in Sydney might perform today. Initial results found little impact, but sensitivity tests showed higher ridership if trams had better perception, more frequent service, and less competition from buses. More rigorous modeling could provide a more precise understanding of potential transportation benefits.
RV 2015: Art, Community Culture and TOD: Four Stories by Abigail Thorne-LymanRail~Volution
This document discusses art policy issues and funding alternatives for BART. It provides background on why a new art policy is needed now, to enhance the rider experience and community identity. It examines the art programs of other transit agencies, finding that allocation percentages for art range from 0.5-1.5% of capital project budgets. Case studies show how different agencies fund staffing and programming. Examples are given of BART and other agency art projects and their associated budgets, ranging from $7,000 for a temporary performance to $350,000 for station art. The document suggests allowing art to happen organically and recording the results as one plan, and making small wins to demonstrate the benefits of public art.
Traffic congestion occurs when traffic demand exceeds road capacity, resulting in slower speeds and longer trip times. It is a major source of frustration for motorists and reduces travel speeds. The main causes of congestion are high traffic volumes, inadequate infrastructure, and irrational urban planning. Congestion leads to economic losses from wasted time and increased fuel costs, as well as environmental issues from higher emissions. Potential solutions involve improving road infrastructure, implementing smart urban planning, managing supply and demand through techniques like road pricing, and using traffic management strategies.
Yonge Subway Extension (YSE) by Ricardo MashregiRicardo Mashregi
Toronto and York Region have agreed to jointly pursue funding for the Yonge Subway Extension and the Relief Line South projects. They believe working together will strengthen their ability to secure funding for both critically needed transit lines. The Yonge Subway Extension is York Region's top transit priority, while the relief line is Toronto's top priority, and both projects need to proceed together to address congestion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Planning and design funding has been secured for the Yonge Subway Extension, but capital costs funding is still needed from the province for construction to begin in 2020 as planned.

Adelaide’s transport Twenty minute city | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
Adelaide's transport system is facing increasing congestion, with morning traffic up 30% since 1997-98 and rush hour delays of 44 seconds per kilometer traveled. Currently over 80% of Adelaide residents use private vehicles to commute, contributing to air pollution and emissions. Solutions proposed include increasing public transportation through new buses, trams, and upgraded infrastructure, as well as policies to encourage greater public transit use and cycling. Bus rapid transit systems, which can carry as many passengers as 170 cars, may also help alleviate road congestion.
This document discusses transportation issues and opportunities in Greater Victoria, British Columbia. It notes that the region has unique geographic barriers and no overarching governance for its transportation network. Current planning is ideological rather than based on science, and has failed to increase transit ridership. A proposed light rail project was found to have overstated benefits by $1.2 billion. Congestion continues to worsen due to a lack of leadership and solutions. Some opportunities discussed include rush hour transit lanes on Douglas Street and the West Shore Parkway extension.

Subways provide significant economic benefits to cities. Every $1 billion invested in subways supports over 50,000 jobs and increases business sales. They also save individuals and households money by reducing transportation costs. Using subways rather than driving can save a household nearly $10,000 per year and cut gasoline consumption by 50 gallons annually. Subways enhance mobility and access opportunities while reducing carbon emissions.
Pune's traffic problems have increased dramatically as the city's road network has grown only 6 times while traffic has increased 105 times since 1960. Insufficient roads, poor traffic management, and inefficient public transportation have led to severe traffic issues. While cycle tracks and buses aim to help, Pune's public transportation system, PMPML, is overburdened and underperforming. There is an urgent need for mass rapid transit systems like metro and BRTS projects to provide reliable, comfortable, and affordable alternatives to private vehicles and address the city's commuting woes.

This document discusses the economic merits of public transportation systems, specifically subways. It begins by outlining the various modes of public transportation, including buses, light rail, subways, and more. It then focuses on subways, explaining that they provide fast transportation for large groups of people while avoiding collisions. The document lists several economic benefits of subways, such as generating jobs, increasing property values and business revenues. It also notes that subways are safer and can save households money compared to automobile use. In conclusion, while public transportation provides economic and environmental benefits, it also has some disadvantages such as lack of late night service in some areas.
Most major cities are facing traffic problems due to delays and overcrowding caused by increased populations. This document discusses the problems of traffic delays and overcrowding in urban areas and potential solutions. It analyzes causes such as mixed traffic conditions, irregular parking, and temporary events. Solutions proposed include separate traffic lanes for vehicle types, improved parking, expanded roads, intelligent transportation systems, and public transportation infrastructure like flyovers and metro rails. The author concludes that implementing proposed traffic rules and alternatives can help reduce delays and overcrowding if all road users cooperate.
The Cause, Effect and Possible Solution to Traffic Congestion on Nigeria Road...inventionjournals
Due to increase in population and the attraction of human activities into urban region which in
turn leads to the growth of vehicle ownership and use, there is demand for road space which has led to increase
in the number of public transport operation. Consequently, the demand for road space is greater than the
supply because the rate of provision of transport facilities is less than the rate of growth of vehicle ownership
and use which result into traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is the impedance of vehicles imposed on each
other due to speed-flow relationship in conditions where the use of transport system approaches capacity.
Traffic congestion in Nigeria, taking Basorun-Akobo Road in Ibadan Oyo State as a case study has been
analysed using experimental and theoretical approaches. These involve traffic counting and delay survey. In
order to carry out effective research work on the case study road, the method adopted were traffic counting and
traffic delay survey. The effect of traffic congestion on the study area are Waste of time, Delay movement,
Accident, Inability to forecast travel time, Fuel consumption, Road rage and environmental pollution. Possible
solutions to traffic congestion on the case study area is to: Dualize the Road, Provide Adequate Parking Space,
Construct proper Drainage and Install Traffic Control Devices.
This document discusses how implementing Complete Streets policies can save money compared to traditional road projects that only focus on vehicles. It provides many examples from cities that were able to build features like sidewalks, bike lanes, and pedestrian islands through low-cost changes and incremental improvements. Reallocating existing budgets and right-sizing roads based on actual transportation needs rather than predicted growth has allowed cities to reduce project costs by millions while increasing safety and accessibility for all users.
The document discusses traffic congestion as a major problem in Kuwait and other countries. It examines approaches taken in the UK, China, Egypt, and Dubai to address congestion through public transportation investments and policies. The objective is to help Kuwait's government reduce traffic by exploring plans like expanding metro systems, introducing luxury buses, and imposing road tolls. However, gaps remain in understanding Kuwait's latest government plans and directly consulting traffic authorities.

Jordan Bateman's Presentation to VALTAC, April 30, 2008: Langley Light Rail A...jgabateman
The document discusses proposals for improving public transit in Langley, BC through light rail and streetcar lines. It proposes a 200th Street streetcar line running north-south through the densest parts of Langley, as well as reactivating an existing rail line called the Interurban to provide east-west transit. Challenges include gaps in the Interurban route and gaining political and regional support. The proposal argues these projects would boost ridership and connectivity in Langley by linking different population centers and future growth areas. Next steps proposed include further studies on routes and ridership potential and protecting rights-of-way for future transit expansion.
The study aims to assess Langley's employment trends, recommend a mix of employment uses to meet future demand, and determine an appropriate balance between population and employment growth. The goal is to build a strong, diversified local economy with sufficient serviced employment lands to achieve a balanced tax base and higher job ratios. The study finds demand for 810 acres of employment lands by 2031, with 930 acres available. It recommends conducting consultations, updating policies and zoning, and developing a new economic development strategy to emphasize high employment uses and ensure serviced lands are available to support growth.
This document discusses improving Melbourne's tram and potential light rail network. It notes that while Melbourne's tram system plays a vital role, it is hampered by low speeds and traffic congestion. The document recommends a package of improvements to existing trams including better rights-of-way, increased frequency and capacity, and expanded accessible stops and vehicles. It also suggests developing new light rail routes on corridors like Ballarat Road and Wellington Road/North Road to serve major employment centers and provide faster cross-town connections. Supportive land use planning around transit is also seen as important to maximize the benefits of an improved tram and potential light rail network.
This document discusses introducing a one-way traffic system in Colombo, Sri Lanka to address transportation issues. It provides background on Sri Lanka and Colombo, existing transportation modes, and the phased introduction of one-way roads starting in 1996. Benefits included increased travel speeds and additional space for other uses. Issues were increased walking distances, bus route fragmentation, and lack of studies on public perception and cost-benefit analysis. Recommendations include expanding the one-way system where roads are close together to decrease travel times and distances.

[Urban transportation policy program]city paper presentation shirazshrdcinfo
The document discusses modifying Shiraz, Iran's one-way street network to improve traffic. Shiraz has a population of 1.46 million and faces traffic problems like long traffic light delays and queues. The municipality analyzed traffic data and simulations to identify the best one-way street scenarios. Implementing one-way streets reduced traffic light phases and cycles, removed some lights, increased travel speeds, freed up road space, and reduced air pollution and accidents at a low cost. However, issues with increased walking distances and lack of studies were identified that need addressing. Modifying to one-way streets was deemed a good short-term measure but requires more analysis and consultation.

It also describes a best-worst choice experiment conducted with residents of six Australian cities to measure perceptions of statements related to BRT and LRT services and identify key factors influencing support for different public transit modes. The results showed many similar voting preferences between public transit users and non-users, but also some differences in how much certain attributes were valued.
The document discusses sustainable transportation and provides details about Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in India. It describes the key features of successful BRT systems, using the examples of the Ahmedabad and Pimpri-Chinchwad BRT networks. The Ahmedabad BRT was the first in India and has been recognized as a successful project, carrying over 35,000 daily passengers in a sustainable way by limiting emissions and improving pedestrian infrastructure. Essential features for effective BRT identified include adequate road width, limited intersections, exclusive bus bays, and proximity of stations to pedestrian crossings and trip generators.
Webinar: Bus rapid transit system: metro on surface or high performance bus s...BRTCoE
This document discusses different design options for Bus Rapid Transit Systems including open versus closed systems and different station typologies. Some key findings from analysis of different design options are:
1) Closed systems have higher operational speeds, frequencies and shorter journey times compared to open systems.
2) Staggered station designs have better performance than island stations.
3) Junction station locations have better performance than mid-block stations.
4) Including an overtaking lane at stations improves operational speeds compared to designs without overtaking lanes.
The analysis provides guidance on optimal design features for achieving higher performance of BRT systems.
Managing Operations And Service Quality-SMRT trains case study Md.Masudur Rahaman
SMRT trains case study presents information about two major service disruptions on the SMRT rail system in Singapore in December 2011. The disruptions affected thousands of commuters and resulted in penalties for SMRT. The disruptions were caused by faulty cables, damaged power collector shoes, and dislodged third rail parts. In response, SMRT took steps to improve monitoring, hire experts, and enhance maintenance practices to prevent future disruptions and improve reliability. SMRT's vision is to provide a world-class transport service that is safe, reliable and customer-centric.
City Speak XI - Is transport the solution or the enemy? Chapman Lam of MVADesigningHongKong
Development and transport are closely related, but how do we connect the dots and guarantee a livable city for future generations?
Lifting the moratorium in Mid-levels, reducing the threshold for redevelopment and the constant pressure to increase density are all choking the older parts of Hong Kong with more traffic and roadside air pollution.
How do we deal with the increased traffic on new roads to the Mainland? How many more roads are we planning to build on our waterfront? Is there too much public transport clogging up our roads? Is replacing pedestrian crossings with subways and footbridges a good thing?
What plans are there for environmentally friendly transport and aesthetically more pleasing transport infrastructure in Hong Kong? Where are the hopes for making our city more pedestrian-friendly? Can new engine technology solve our problems? Could electronic road pricing help? Will the new rail lines be enough? Do we have a sustainable (transport) plan for our city?
Planners, engineers, academics and officials will discuss whether transport is our solution or our enemy.

Keeping up with Caltrain Ridership Redwood CityAdina Levin
The document discusses ridership growth on Caltrain and strategies to increase capacity. Ridership has doubled in the last decade due to economic and population growth. Trains are now crowded during peak hours. The document outlines plans to accommodate further growth through electrification, longer platforms, increased frequency, and grade separations. These changes could increase peak hour train capacity from 25 cars today up to 64 cars. Securing funding and making decisions on these improvements will be important for Caltrain to continue supporting the growing number of riders in the transit corridor.
The document discusses transport issues and options for the Cambridge region. It examines past transport studies from 1985-2001 and options considered, including expanding park and ride, densification, and new towns. It also discusses transport technologies, including guided busways, cycling infrastructure, and potential 21st century rail technologies like linear induction motors and contactless modular shuttles. The conclusion calls for planning that prioritizes walking, cycling, and public transport where viable, while restricting private cars and seeking new transport alternatives.
The webinar agenda included:
- APBP news from 12:55-1:00 pm
- An introduction from 1:00-1:05 pm
- A presentation on NACTO's Transit Street Design Guide from 1:05-2:00 pm
- A question period from 2:00-2:15 pm
- The webinar was scheduled to end at 2:15 pm.
The document discusses Mumbai Suburban Railways, which carries over 6.6 million passengers daily and has one of the highest passenger densities of any urban rail system. It notes strengths like being a large employer but also weaknesses like delays, overcrowding, and lack of infrastructure upgrades. It analyzes demand and capacity constraints and surveys problems reported by passengers and employees. Suggestions are made to increase frequency and capacity of trains to better meet passenger needs.
This document summarizes a dissertation on improving transit systems and traffic flow at intersections in Kolkata, India. Primary and secondary data were collected on vehicle volumes and types, lane widths, and pedestrian traffic at the College Street and Surya Sen intersections. High motorization rates were found to cause congestion. Pedestrian volumes were also very high. Key findings included the lack of proper infrastructure for pedestrians, encroachment of sidewalks, and dangers of crossing undivided roads. Recommendations were developed to address definitions of problems, diagnoses of causes, projections of future issues, and options to tackle the problems.
The document discusses feeder services as an important part of integrated public transport networks. It defines feeder services as buses that pick up passengers and transport them to transfer points to connect to trunk services like rail. Effective feeder services require consideration of origin-destination points, network connectivity, ease of transfers and fare pricing. Challenges include long wait times, inefficient routes and high costs that make conventional buses unsuitable as feeders. Solutions proposed include improving infrastructure at stations, optimizing route lengths and frequencies, and exploring new transport models like paratransit to enhance viability and connectivity of feeder services as part of the overall public transport system.
The document compares various alternatives to diesel multiple units (DMUs) for the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit project, including buses, dual-mode vehicles, and monorails. It finds that DMUs best meet the goals of providing an energy efficient rail alternative to driving within the project's budget while allowing flexibility. Personal rapid transit, maglev, and other options are deemed too expensive, complex, or unproven compared to the established DMU technology.
