Urban Ring Project (MBTA)
The Urban Ring is a proposed project of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, to develop new public transportation routes that would provide improved circumferential connections among many existing transit lines that project radially from downtown Boston.〔(eot Urban Ring Notice )〕 The Urban Ring Corridor is located roughly one to two miles from downtown Boston, passing through the Massachusetts cities of Boston, Chelsea, Everett, Medford, Somerville, Cambridge, and Brookline.〔 The project is expected to convert 41,500 car trips to transit trips daily.〔("Urban Ring Phase 2: Fact Sheet" ), Executive Office of transportation, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, January 2009 (archived 2011)〕
The Major Investment Study split the project into three phases, the first of which (enhanced bus service) was partially implemented. , the planning of Phase 2 has been suspended because MBTA and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have insufficient funding to build a substantial portion of that phase (projected to cost $2.4 billion).〔 Some interim bus service improvements are under way in the absence of major funding.
==Background==
Transportation advocates in Boston have complained that rail transit riders cannot travel from one outlying area to another without first traveling to the downtown hub stations, changing lines, and traveling outbound again. Some of the radial transit lines, notably the Green Line, are so overcrowded that service is very slow and limited in capacity because of rush-hour "crush loads". There are several crosstown bus lines, such as the #1, #66, CT1, CT2, and CT3 routes, but they are slow, unreliable, and subject to bus bunching because they must operate in mixed street traffic.
A circumferential rapid transit line was proposed by the City of Boston as early as 1923, and circumferential transit has been studied as early as 1972, in the Boston Transportation Planning Review. Detailed proposals were not studied until the late 1990s.
