Relationship to MPO Work

This studyis supported in full with non-MPO funding. Committing MPO staff to this project will not impinge on the quality or timeliness of MPO-funded work.

Background

Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) provides regular map-making support to the MBTA and has created many MBTA maps, including maps for districts, bus schedules, neighborhoods, fare increases, and detours.

Objective

The objective of this work is to provide map-making support, upon request from the MBTA. At the time of each request, CTPS will provide the MBTA with an estimate of the specific cost and schedule for completing the map(s).

Work Description

CTPS will update MBTA maps, upon request from the MBTA, within the budget provided for this project.

Task 1  Update District Maps

In 2014, CTPS created a series of MBTA district maps. Each of these maps presented all of the MBTA bus routes originating from an MBTA bus garage. When the MBTA changes bus routes or bus route garage assignments, these maps need to be updated to reflect the changes. Upon request from the MBTA, CTPS staff will update district maps to reflect changes in bus routes and bus route garage assignments.

Products of Task 1

Updated MBTA district maps

Task 2  Update Other MBTA Maps

Upon request from the MBTA, CTPS staff will update other existing CTPS-created MBTA maps.
