SelectedProjects:
Baltimore MDMTA - Metro Sections A and B, Bi-State St Clair County Extension


# tblProject

projDesc:
Sacramento Stage I includes both the Northeast and Folsom Lines connected through downtown Sacramento. The 20.6-mile line, which links both the eastern and northeastern suburbs with Downtown Sacramento utilizes unused freeway and abandoned railroad rights-of-way for most of its length. There are 101 grade crossings along this first phase development. The light rail system includes 36 miles of track with 31 stations in the system.


projDesc:
Stage I includes 12.5 miles of new alignment construction and 12 miles of complete right-of-way rehabilitation.


projDesc:
Portland MAX Segment I is a 15-mile east-west, initial segment that is primarily at-grade but with some elevated sections along joint highway alignments.  The line utilizes reserved rights-of-way in city streets, arterials and highway medians to connect the city of Gresham and other eastern suburbs with central Portland.  Passenger access is through 25 at-grade stations that provide spacing of less than one mile and easy walk-on accessibility for most of the alignment length.  Only 5 stations offer park-and-ride facilities, but almost all stations have coordinated bus transfer facilities.  A 26 vehicle articulated fleet was procured to operate the peak service schedule requirement (for this segment) of 22 peak vehicles with the remaining 4 for scheduled maintenance.


projDesc:
The Metro Blue Line connects Long Beach with downtown Los Angeles along a 22.6-mile, mostly at-grade or elevated fill, and dedicated alignment, that includes a subway section and connection to the Metro Red Line in downtown Los Angeles. There are 28 highway, 4 pedestrian and two at-grade railroad crossings that required warning and control systems. The full alignment is double-tracked except for the one-directional loop in downtown Long Beach. There are 22 stations with only 5 offering parking facilities.


projDesc:
This initial nine-mile segment from Santa Clara through downtown San Jose was completed in June 1988.  This portion of the Guadalupe Corridor Project opened in December 1987, connecting the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara with the surrounding suburban areas.  The initial phase of the light rail system consisted of a 20-mile North Line that is mainly located along the median area of major roadways and along a transitway through downtown San Jose.  The alignment is at-grade along the full length and included very little in new structural requirements.  Only one bridge and two overpasses in new guideway facilities were necessary to connect the full length of the alignment.  Almost the entire line is double-tracked with only two small sections of single-track operation.  There were 22 stations in operation with the expansion to 30 upon completion of that full line length to the southern sections of San Jose.


projDesc:
The Hiawatha Line is a 12 mi (19.3 km) light rail corridor in Hennepin County, Minnesota that extends from downtown Minneapolis to the southern suburb of Bloomington, connecting to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America.  LRT alignment begins in the Central Business District (CBD) and operates on the existing transit mall along 5th Street. The LRT exits the CBD near the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome, following the former Soo Line Railroad to Franklin Avenue then generally parallel Hiawatha Avenue.

New Jersey - Southern NJ Light Rail Transit System

projDesc:
The Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit System (SNJLRTS) is a 34 mile light rail line connecting Trenton to Camden along the Delaware River waterfront. It is built along an active freight line that was augmented for passenger operation using advanced articulated, diesel propelled, light rail vehicles.  The passenger operation is planned for daytime and evening operation, while freight service is limited to late night periods, giving Federal Railway Administration (FRA) time period and access separation.  The project was constructed and is operated through a design-build-operate-maintain project delivery.  The Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit System connects the towns that developed along the Delaware River waterfront with the governmental, commercial and entertainment areas along the waterfront.  In addition, the line connects with the regional bus and rail services operated by New Jersey Transit, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) and the extended interstate rail services operated by Amtrak.  The 34 mile includes 20 stations serving these waterfront towns with direct access to the rail services.  Three of these stations provide park-and-ride facilities for wider access to residents throughout the area. More than twenty bridges were reconstructed and about 50 grade crossings were upgraded.


projDesc:
Westside MAX Blue Line added 18 miles to the pre-existing 15-mile Eastside MAX light rail line, traveling from Portland through the Westside cities of Beaverton and Hillsboro.  Washington Park Station, the only stop in the three-mile, twin-tube Westside MAX tunnel, is the deepest transit station in North America at 260 feet underground.  During tunnel construction, crews blasted two 260-foot deep shafts for four elevators, lined them with concrete and built two sets of stairs with 465 steps each for emergency exit from the underground station.  An off-site control center monitors the station, elevators and stairwells through closed-circuit video cameras.


projDesc:

This segment of the light rail line extends from the I-25/Broadway station on the initial Central Corridor line south to Mineral Avenue in Littleton, running parallel to Santa Fe Drive over an exclusive, grade-separated right-of-way.


projDesc:
The Stage II Light Rail Transit (LRT) Priority Project is an in-place modernization and reconstruction of a previously existing out-of-service rail system (Overbrook Line and Library End of Line).  The total length is 5.5 miles of double track, including 5.2 miles for the Overbrook line, and 0.3 miles for the Library End of Line.  The line is rebuilt on old light rail bed, and includes new bridges and retaining walls throughout its length.  The Overbook portion interconnects with the existing operating light rail system at South Hills Junction at its northern end, and with Castle Shannon Junction at its southern end.  The Library End of Line portion extends the existing operating light rail system from its current terminus in the community of West Library out to the community of Library.  The project includes eight new stations on the Overbrook line (Boggs, Bon Air, Denise, South Bank and McNeilly in the City of Pittsburgh, Killarney, Memorial Hall and Willow in Castle Shannon Borough), one new station on the Library End of Line (Library in South Park Township), and one new station at Castle Shannon Junction.  Four park and ride lots along the alignment (South Hills Village, Library, Bethel Park and Memorial Hall) are also included in the project.  In addition, the Operations Control Center (OCC) is expanded and equipped with a new and upgraded Operations Control Center System.  Replacement of the wayside salt storage and Overhead Maintenance Vehicle (OMV) facilities is also included in this project, as are twenty-eight new light rail vehicles.


projDesc:
The project is a 7.5-mile extension of the pre-existing 21-mile light rail transit system that radiates from downtown San Jose. Running east-to-west across the northern part of the county, the line links employment centers and residential areas in Mountain View, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. The extension serves 12 new stations within the four cities. Many of the stops are adjacent to major employers such as Cisco Systems, Inc., Lockheed Martin, NASA/Ames Research Center, and Rolm Siemens. The light rail also provides direct service to the Whisman area in Mountain View, where Netscape and other large businesses are located. The area is already densely developed, and major new road construction was not feasible. In downtown Mountain View, a multimodal transit center with park-and-ride facilities provides connections between light rail, Santa Clara VTA buses and shuttles, and Caltrain, the commuter train service between Gilroy and San Francisco. In addition to connecting the cities it serves, the transit center enables passengers to connect with Amtrak service to Sacramento, bike routes, and county expressways.

The Broad Street Extension is the second segment of the Newark Light Rail.  The line is one mile (1.6 km) long and connects Newark Penn Station to Broad Street Station. It branches off the older City Subway using the existing junction that had led to the Public Service terminal.  A new tunnel leads from the junction to a portal about two blocks north. The remaining section runs above ground.  For a few blocks, the two tracks run on different streets a block or two apart. Both tracks serve the New Jersey Performing Arts Center at Center Street.  The extension opened on July 17, 2006.

The busway is a 9.4 -mile semi-exclusive roadway that runs at-grade for its entire length except at 11 bridges. The busway has five at-grade intersections, all controlled by traffic signals, as well as ramps at three locations where bus routes enter and exit the bus-only facility. No turns occur at the at-grade intersections, by buses or any other vehicles. 
The busway’s eleven stations have 15-inch-high platforms to permit level boarding of buses and are fully ADA compliant.  Stations are equipped with passenger shelters, fare collection equipment, security cameras, and emergency call boxes. Six stations have surface parking lots ranging in size from nine to 45 spaces and providing a total of 166 spaces. The scope of the project did not include a new or expanded facility for vehicle maintenance and storage. 
In total, 21 full parcels of land and 104 partial takes of land were acquired, primarily for stations and for the at-grade crossings with local roads. 
The project scope included the acquisition of 48 new buses, uniquely branded for CTfastrakservice: 12 30-foot buses to provide feeder service to busway stations; 18 40-foot buses that operate both on arterial streets in the corridor and then on the busway itself; six over-the-road coaches to operate busway express routes; and 12 60-foot articulated buses that serve all busway stations and then the Hartford Downtown Loop.

The City of Fort Collins constructed a 5.0-mile, 12-station/stop MAX BRT system. The BRT system is within an exclusive guideway for 2.9 miles, with the remaining 2.1 miles intermixed with street traffic on portions of McClelland Drive and Mason Street. The project parallels a freight railroad corridor, often within 25 feet of the railroad, and travels through three distinct areas: the downtown segment, the Colorado State University (CSU) Campus segment, and the southern section of the project, which runs parallel between the railroad and an arterial roadway. The project includes expansion of the existing bus fleet maintenance facility to accommodate the six (6) new BRT buses. 
The City of Ft. Collins now operates the Mason Corridor Express bus service, or MAX, as part of its Transfort bus system.

The MetroLink Phase IIA Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project is a 17.4 mile extension of the MetroLink light rail system from East St Louis, Illinois to Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC), formerly Belleville Area College (BAC) in St. Clair County, Illinois.  The alignment begins at the existing MetroLink station at 5th Street & Missouri Avenue in East St. Louis, Illinois, runs along the abandoned CSXT railroad right-of-way and new right-of-way, and terminates at the new station at SWIC (formerly BAC) for this phase of the project.   Eight new stations and modifications to the existing station at 5th Street /Missouri were constructed along the alignment.  Seven new park and ride lots and a new maintenance facility were also constructed.  Twenty new light rail vehicles (LRVs) were procured under FFGA funding to support the transit Operation. An additional four LRVs were also procured using additional local funds provided by the St. Clair County Transit District (SCCTD).

The project is a 3.3-mile streetcar line extending from the existing Portland streetcar system east across the Willamette River and south through the Portland Eastside Industrial District to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Except for 0.45 track-miles that are located in exclusive trackway, tracks are embedded in existing streets. East of the Willamette River, the tracks are located on separate, parallel streets one block apart so that each street has one track embedded primarily in a curb lane. Except for 440 feet of elevated structure at its southern terminus and the segment that uses the pre-existing Broadway Bridge, the entire extension is at-grade.  The Streetcar Loop project entered into Project Development (PD) in April 2007 and received a grant from the Small Starts program of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in October, 2009. The project opened to service in September 2012.
