- W591309159 abstract "Pace Suburban Bus operates express bus service from the southwest suburbs of Chicago to downtown Chicago and the Illinois Medical District on the city’s west side via the I-55 Stevenson Expressway. I-55 is one of the most congested highway corridors in the Chicago region. According to the Texas Transportation Institute’s Urban Mobility Report, the Chicago area is one of the most congested regions in the country. Congestion in the I-55 corridor creates highly variable travel times, results in slow speeds and does not create a competitive alternative to driving. As a result of these issues, the transit agency incurs additional costs associated with buses running late, passengers making additional connections or who have fixed work hours are inconvenienced and the overall quality of the service suffers. In order to address these issues, Pace, in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), developed a two-year bus-on-shoulders demonstration program. Under the guidelines of the program, Pace express buses on I-55 may operate on the shoulder during peak periods of congestion to bypass slow moving traffic. Pace began using shoulder riding in November 2011. The goals of this program are to reduce variability in travel times and increase on-time performance of the Pace express buses in this corridor, reduce travel times, increase ridership by creating a competitive alternative to the automobile, and create an environmental benefit by reducing idling and encouraging transit use in the corridor. In addition, since the project utilizes existing infrastructure, minimal investment was required to implement the program. A number of hurdles needed to be overcome in order to implement this project including, getting buy-in from both partner agencies and the public, legislative changes to the Illinois Vehicle Code and planning a type of service new to the Chicago region. Early results suggest that even in the short time Pace has been operating buses on the shoulder, improvements to the service have already been noticeable and no major incidents have been reported." @default.
