This document was prepared for the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration and Innovation. It presents an evaluation of the Silver Line Waterfront Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project and is one of a series of case study evaluations of BRT systems that comprise the national BRT Consortium. The content of this document follows the guidelines for the Evaluation of Bus Rapid Transit Demonstration Projects developed by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. The specific elements that are the focus of the Silver Line BRT evaluation are derived from the 'Chacteristics of Bus Rapid Transit for Decision Making' published by the FTA in August 2004. These include running ways, stations, vehicles, fare collection, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and service and operating plans. The objectives of the evaluation are to determine extent and impact of travel time improvements and system reliability; measure ridership change; evaluate impacts of BRT technologies; assess role of branding and marketing; examine how the Silver Line Waterfront BRT has affected the metropolitan Boston transportation network; determine effect of the Silver Line Waterfront on land use and transit oriented development (TOD); and evaluate overall safety and security of the Silver Line Waterfront service.
