MBTA Commuter Rail Schedules Initiative

NORTH STATION

SCOPE: MISSION & CONSTRAINTS Project Mission:

Create Reliable and Resilient Commuter Rail Schedules

Reduce Overcrowding on Trains and at Terminals

Create Efficient and Logical Equipment Movements

Constraints:

Existing Equipment

Existing Track and Station Infrastructure Capacity

Convenient Arrival/Departure Times at North and South Stations for Commuters

Amtrak Services

NORTH STATION

SCOPE: PROCESS

Information and Data Collection

Schedule Development

Rail Traffic Controller Modeling

Output Analyzed and Schedules Refined

Draft Final Schedules for Public Comments

Final Schedules Based on Public Comments

NORTH STATION

SCOPE: LINES

Northside Lines Fitchburg Lowell Haverhill Newburyport/Rockport

Southside Lines Worcester Needham Providence/Stoughton Franklin Fairmount

Old Colony Schedules will not Change Middleboro Kingston/Plymouth Greenbush

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Schedules with Legacy Inconsistencies, Including: • Uneven Service Levels and Headways • Irregular Express and Local Train Patterns • Ridership Exceeding Trainset Capacity

Equipment Movements: • Short Turntimes at Terminals Impairs Schedule Resiliency • Interlined Sets Cause Cascading System-Wide Delays

Old Colony Line Schedules • Developed for Railroad Operations and Equipment Performance Characteristics • The Schedules have the Highest On-Time Performance in the MBTA Commuter Rail System

NORTH STATION

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Interlined Sets Interlined Sets can cause significant

cascading delays across the MBTA Commuter Rail network.

For example, on a typical day, Set B makes the following trips: Providence to Boston Boston to Worcester Roundtrip Boston to Norwood Central

Roundtrip Boston to Needham Roundtrip Boston to Stoughton Roundtrip Boston to Worcester Worcester to Providence (via

Boston) Deadhead

If Set B is delayed due to an issue on the Worcester Line, then subsequent lines are potentially delayed too.

NEW SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT: SYSTEM-WIDE

Assumptions:

Near-Term Infrastructure Improvements: Fitchburg Line Track Improvements and New Station and Layover Facility at Wachusett Worcester Line Track De-Stressing and Boston Landing Station

Equipment Constraints 25 Northside and 39 Southside Trainsets Available Mechanical Performance Metrics (Speed, Horsepower, Tractive Effort)

Terminal and Maintenance Yard Operations and Capacity

Amtrak Schedules

BENEFITS: OPERATIONS

Preventing Cascading Delays by Reducing Interlined Trains

Creating Standardized Minimum15­Minute Turntimes and Reduction of Scheduled Long-Dwells at North and South Stations

Optimization of Corridor Capacity through Rail Traffic Controller (RTC) Analysis

Provide Adequate Maintenance and Processing Time at Maintenance Yards

New Infrastructure Modeled

Overall Increased Peak Train Service

Additional Peak Express Service from Outer Points and Complementary Peak Service from Inner Stations

Reduction in Train Crowding and Delays

Optimized Peak Arrival and Departures from Boston for Key Job Start and End Times

Standardized Peak “Box” AM Peak Boston Arrival: 6:00 -10:00 PM Peak Boston Departure: 3:30 - 7:00

Consistent Off-Peak Departure Times

BENEFITS: PASSENGER EXPERIENCE
