摘要：	This document was prepared for the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administrations (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration and Innovation. It presents an evaluation of the Silver Line Waterfront Bus Rapid Transit project and its one of a series of case study evaluations of BRT systems that comprise the national BRT Consortium. The content of this document follows the Guidelines for the Evaluation of Bus Rapid Transit Demonstration Projects developed by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. The specific elements that are the focus of the Silver Line BRT evaluation are derived from the Characteristics of Bus Rapid Transit for Decision Making published by the FTA in August 2004. These include running ways, stations, vehicles, fare collection, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and service and operating plans. The objectives of the evaluation are to determine extent and impact of travel time improvements and system reliability; measure ridership change; evaluate impact of BRT technologies; assess role of branding and marketing; examine how the Silver Line Waterfront BRT has affected the metropolitan Boston transportation network; determine effect of the Silver Line Waterfront on land use and transit oriented development (TOD); and evaluate overall safety and security of the Silver Line Waterfront service. The report also offers a number of lessons learned from the Silver Line Waterfront program. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Smith (Wilbur) and Associates, Inc., New Haven, CT.
