3. Overview of Transit Modes RTC SR-160 Corridor Study 3.3 LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT / DIESEL MULTIPLE UNIT TRANSIT 3.3.1 Overview The Transportation Research Board’s Urban Transportation Glossary defines light rail transit (LRT) as “a metropolitan electric railway system characterized by its ability to operate single cars or short trains along exclusive rights-of-way at ground level, on aerial structures, in subways, or occasionally, in streets to board and discharge passengers at track or car floor level." LRT can operate in a variety of operating environments, including local streets, freeway medians, railroad rights-of-way and aerial structures. Compared to conventional buses that operated on shared local roads, LRT is more expensive to construct. However, because of LRT’s design flexibility it is generally less costly to build and operate than other fixed guideway modes. Over the past quarter century, several major metropolitan regions have introduced LRT. The addition of LRT trunk lines and the coordination of regional bus service can result in the emergence of a robust multimodal transit system that encourages growth in transit ridership. EXHIBIT 3-8: Opening Dates for LRT Systems CITY OPENING DATE Edmonton April 1978 Calgary May 1981 San Diego July 1981 Buffalo October 1984 Portland September 1986 Sacramento March 1987 San Jose December 1987 Los Angeles July 1990 Baltimore April 1992 St. Louis July 1993 Denver October 1994 Dallas June 1996 Salt Lake City December 1999 Jersey City April 2000 LRT vehicles collect electrical power from an overhead wire and can operate in both mixed traffic and grade separated guideway. LRT can also be operated as Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) steel-wheel vehicles on grooved steel tracks embedded along major urban arterial streets. DMU is a self-propelled passenger rail car capable of pulling additional coaches. With DMU technology, overhead wires and catenary equipment are not required. The DMU is designed and approved to operate in mixed freight traffic, subject to FRA’s newest 49 CFR 3-12
