The MPO staff has sufficient resources to complete this work in a capable and timely manner. By undertaking this work, the MPO staff will neither delay the completion of nor reduce the quality of programmed MPO work.
The MBTA has hundreds of bus shelters that are maintained by two companies, JCDecaux and CEMUSA. The customer service information in these shelters is both outdated and inconsistent. To improve the overall customer experience, the MBTA desires to create and install new customer service information that will contain route-specific maps in the bus shelters. These shelters are on routes with high ridership that serve multiple routes.
Create 150–160 route-specific maps for selected MBTA bus shelters.
Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) will create new bus shelter maps by using the MBTA System Map (a CTPS product) as a source. Each map will then be fine-tuned for its specific location.
The MBTA will provide a list of bus shelters and the routes that use each shelter. The MBTA will focus on the Key Bus Routes and routes with high ridership. Using the MBTA System Map as a source, CTPS will create a new map for each shelter, highlighting the MBTA bus routes.
150–160 draft bus shelter maps
Based on feedback received from MBTA, CTPS will make any requested changes or corrections to each map. CTPS will provide the final computer files to the MBTA for production of the final maps.
Final digital files to be delivered to MBTA
