- Elevator and escalator maintenance and safety practices / by Schiavone, John J.(CARDINAL)310387; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287; Transit Cooperative Research Program.(CARDINAL)307612; United States.Federal Transit Administration.(CARDINAL)217229; Transit Development Corporation.(CARDINAL)307611;
Research sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration in cooperation with the Transit Development Corporation"The purpose of this synthesis is to document highly specialized elevator/escalator (El/Es) maintenance, safety practices, and passenger communication efforts at five U.S. transit agencies: MARTA (Atlanta, Georgia), NYCTA (New York City), SEPTA (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), CTA (Chicago, Illinois), and BART (San Francisco, California) ...Together, they are part of an FTA-sponsored consortium with APTA, Amalgamated Transit Union, and the Learning Center, engaged in developing a Transit Elevator/Escalator Maintenance Training and Apprenticeship Program. The Topic Panel directed the consultant to survey and conduct in-depth telephone interviews with these transit agencies' staff to provide a comprehensive look at how representative agencies provide EI/Es services, the specific challenges they face in doing so, and the steps taken to provide safe and reliable access to all their customers and, particularly, the disabled community."--Preface.- Subjects: Technical reports.; Case studies.; Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority; New York City Transit Authority; Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority; Chicago Transit Authority; San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (Calif.); Elevators; Escalators; Elevators; Escalators; People with disabilities; Local transit stations; Local transit stations; Apprenticeship programs;

Includes bibliographical references (page 238).Executive summary -- Introduction -- The Olympic and Paralympic games -- Findings -- Conclusions -- References -- Appendix A: Booz-Allen & Hamilton daily reports -- Appendix B: Atlanta traveler information showcase user assessment.Final report;The Atlanta metropolitan region was the location of one of the most ambitious Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployments in the United States. This deployment included several individual projects - a Central Transportation Management Center (TMC), six Traffic Control Centers (TCCs), one Transit Information Center (TIC), the Travel Information Showcase (TIS), and the extension of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Rail network and the new high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-85 and I-75. This report presents the findings of the 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games Events Study - a compilation of findings of system performance, the benefits realized, and the lessons learned during their operations over the events period. The study assessed the performance of the various Travel Demand Management (TDM) plans employed for Olympic Games traffic management. This intermodal system performance and benefits assessment also presents recommendations for other major special-event host cities and ITS deployments, based on the lessons learned from the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games transportation operations.Sponsored by Office of Safety and Traffic, Operations Research and Development, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.- Subjects: Technical reports.; Olympic Games 1996 : Atlanta, Ga.); Intelligent transportation systems; Local transit; Transportation; Transportation; Transportation;
