MBTA Bus Route 57 Community Meeting January 11, 2011
MBTA Key Bus Route Improvement Program

The MBTA is committed to improving your bus riding experience. Over the next two
years, the MBTA will plan and implement a series of enhancements to 15 bus routes,
chosen for their high ridership and frequency of service. This project, known as the Key
Bus Route Improvement Program, will help reduce trip times; improve accessibility;
enhance customer comfort, convenience and safety; and make the routes more reliable
and cost-effective. Tonight’s meeting will discuss potential improvements to Bus Route
57.

Utilizing $10 million in grant funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) the MBTA now has the opportunity to implement the Key Bus Route
Improvement Program. This one-time opportunity to improve service quality will be
accomplished by implementing a combination of the following: bus stop location
improvements, bus stop amenities – shelters, benches, trash barrels and signage, curb
extensions, and accessibility enhancements, in addition to traffic signal upgrades.

Working with local municipalities, all Key Bus Route improvements will be developed
with the help of public input. The public process for Routes 23, 39 and 28 is ongoing,
and the remaining 12 routes will be improved over the next two years through a phased
implementation approach. Routes 1, 57, and 66 constitute the next phase of Key Bus
Routes scheduled for implementation, and the community feedback process has just
begun. Your input at this meeting will help inform how we improve Bus Route 57. We
look forward to collaborating with you to provide a better bus service!

Glossary and Abbreviations of Terms

Bus Stop Location – Nearside: bus stop is located before an intersection, or driveway.
Bus Stop Location – Farside: bus stop is located after an intersection, or driveway.
Bus Stop Location – Mid-block: bus stop is located in the middle of a street block.

Companion Stop – bus stops are typically located in pairs, one on each side of the
street.

Curb extension (or bulb out) – sidewalk is widened in a particular section, sometimes
either side of a crosswalk, or at the start/end of on-street parking.

Generic/Rear Sign – MBTA bus stop sign that is located at the rear of the stop to
define the end of the bus stop.

Landing pad/area – an area at the front of the bus stop where customers board and
alight the bus.

Queue jump – priority is given to buses at an intersection. It can also come in a
variety of forms such as a shared right turn/bus lane allowing the bus to access a
farside stop more quickly or with a bus only signal, allowing buses to advance ahead
of the general traffic.

Rt. Descr. Sign (Route Descriptive Sign) – MBTA bus stop sign that is located at the
front of the stop and lists bus route and customer information.

Sharrow – pavement marking on the roadway that indicates to bicyclists that the road
space they are entering is shared, i.e. with a bus stop or general traffic.

TSP (Transit Signal Priority) – priority is given to buses at traffic signals. This can
come in a variety of forms, but the most common form is for the green time to be
extended for all traffic when a bus is approaching the intersection. This will only be
effective for farside or mid-block stops.
