Bus Customer Information Systems: MTA ’s BusTime Pilot Program Presented by Sunil Nair, Senior Director, Bus Customer Information Systems, MTA MTA BusTime represents a big step forward in how the MTA delivers technology to its customers. Join MTA’s Sunil Nair for a discussion on the MTA’s new pilot project, currently in operation on the B63 route in Brooklyn. The program uses Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware and wireless communications technology to track the real-time location of buses. Sunil will explain how the MTA developed the system, which allows riders to find the real-time location of buses that will arriveat their stop, and is accessible via a desktop web map, a mobile web site on iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, or other smartphones, and via SMS on all mobile phones.

Presented by Eric Ziering, Director of Software, Cambridge Systematics, Inc. Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information, both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.

What does it mean to build a sustainable corridor? How do you honor the overall goal of conserving resources, but also engage stakeholders to develop the right type of project for their community? Take a wider look at the national perspective on building sustainable corridors. What is being done across the country to conserve resources and involve communities in these efforts? Then hear stories about a successful sustainable corridor in Portland; Albuquerque's BRT project; and an urban green plan to transform existing park-and-ride lots along Los Angeles' growing transit network into more sustainable places.

Mobility and Equity for New York's Transit-Starved Neighborhoods

The Rockefeller Foundation

The Rockefeller Foundation and the Pratt Center for Community Development have coalesced around a transit solution called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)—a high-performance system that combines the permanence, speed, and reliability of rail, with the flexibility of buses, at a fraction of the cost of a subway system. In the Foundation and Pratt’s report, Mobility and Equity for New York’s Transit-Starved Neighborhoods: The Case for Full-Featured Bus Rapid Transit, BRT is discussed as an affordable, reliable, and practical way of getting outer borough residents from point A to point B.
