Transportation PArT II: thE roUtE For tULsa The elements of the expanded transit system include rail (both light rail and commuter rail), Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and a variation on BRT called High Frequency Bus. A streetcar system will also play a vital role in Tulsa’s future transit system. rail transit The rail transit element of the expanded transit system consists of streetcar, light rail and commuter rail service. While streetcars share existing right-of-ways, light rail and commuter rail typically operate in designated rights of way separate from other forms of transportation (i.e. cars, bikes, pedestrians, and freight rail). In addition, interfaces with other forms of transportation sometimes are grade separated (e.g., rail crossing of a major street) to reduce conflicts. Commuter rail differs from light rail in that it typically serves longer distance trips, has fewer stops within a corridor, uses diesel-powered vehicles and can share track with freight vehicles. The operational characteristics of light rail include smaller vehicles, better acceleration, electric power, yet they can not share track with freight vehicles due to safety requirements. Streetcars are a variation on light rail that do not need a designated right of way and can be mixed with other forms of transportation (i.e., cars, bikes, buses, and pedestrians) in a multi-modal street. Both commuter rail and light rail provide advantages over the automobile. As demand increases, light rail and commuter rail lines can easily be expanded by adding cars to the trains or by increasing the frequency of service. Thus, rail can serve densely built areas such as downtown and spur urban densities in strategic corridors throughout Tulsa more effciently than vehicles alone. Rail corridors also play a vital role in providing access to special events, sports and cultural facilities, and entertainment. The land use efficiency of TrANSIT CoMPArED To FrEEWAyS: a typical light rail car handles 175 people during the peak hour operating conditions. assuming 2 car trains and 5 minute headways, a light rail system can move roughly 8,400 people per hour within 40 feet of right-of-way including station locations. thus, light rail can carry 210 persons per hour, per foot of right of way. in contrast, a four lane expressway with traffc moving in both directions (roughly 80 feet of pavement) can move roughly 9,600 people per hour, which equates 120 persons per hour, per foot of right of way.

Transportation PArT II: thE roUtE For tULsa Bus rapid transit (Brt) BRT is a relatively new technology that combines some aspects of rail transit with the flexibility of buses. It can operate on exclusive transit ways, HOV lanes, expressways, or ordinary streets. As compared to typical diesel bus technology, a BRT system can potentially combine new technology (using propane or other alternative non-diesel fuel), priority for transit, cleaner and quieter operation, rapid and convenient fare collection, and integration with land-use policy. high Frequency Bus This new form of service operates in mixed traffc and has short stop spacing. Increased effciency of this service comes from intelligent system operations. Priority and preemption is used at intersections and real-time information is given at stops through the utilization of GPS technology. tulsa has a limited transit system in terms of vehicles and especially service hours. Mtta runs a quality service, but is unable to meet the needs of a 24 hour 7 day a week economy because of operational funding limitations. Equitably funding all modes of transportation in tulsa will create a more sustainable transportation system and reduce the demand for costly roadway maintenance and construction.
