Bus Rapid Transit Peer-to-Peer Exchange, Los Angeles, CA - November 2007
Participating Agencies: New York State DOT, Westchester County DOT, New Jersey Transit, MTA Metro-North Railroad, New York City DOT, MTA New York City Transit
Several Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) initiatives are being undertaken in the New York Metropolitan Region. The peers participated in the Peer-to-Peer exchange in CA as a way to enhance their knowledge of BRT operations and to observe the most extensive implementation of BRT operations in the United States. The participants benefited from having representatives from multiple NY agencies at the peer-to-peer exchange because it allowed them an opportunity to exchange ideas and collaborate on approaches to implementing BRT systems. The BRT system in Los Angeles, CA has an advanced ITS system including transit signal priority and an array of real-time passenger information systems. The participants examined Los Angeles’ systems including Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Automatic Passenger Counters (APC), Automated Voice Announcements (AVA) and Automated Vehicle Monitoring (AVM). Each of these ITS techniques are being considered as part of the BRT initiatives underway in the New York Metropolitan Region.
