Bal$more City EV-‐ready Transit Hubs and Smart Street Light (B’Smart) Project NIST Global Ci$es Team Challenge 2016

22-‐23 March 2016 (Image courtesy Bal9more Parking)

B’Smart Project Focus

•  EV-‐ready Smart Transit Hubs for Bal9more •  Define Smart Transit Hub, transi9on current transit sta9ons to transit hubs, star9ng with West Bal9more pilot

•  Hubs are more than transit. Hubs are community wi-‐fi enabled spaces to promote local ar9sts, entrepreneurs, and musicians

•  Hubs as microgrids for energy independence and high-‐speed internet access; EV-‐ready, mul9-‐modal (car, bike and ride share)

•  Safe greenway connec9ons from hub to hub using non-‐stop bus rapid transit (BRT) or overhead rail

•  Smart Street Lights at and to/from Hubs = founda$on for intelligent city (IT + transporta$on + clean energy + engaged ci$zen)

Key B’Smart Performance Indicators for 2016-‐17 West Bal$more pilot

ü  Purpose and Plan: Improve Bal$more transit with Smart Transit Hub plan ü Define pilot Smart Street Light system to operate within a Smart Community Transit

Hub plan to improve transporta9on, coordina9on of transporta9on amongst diverse stakeholders and expense, par9cularly for low-‐income riders

ü  Iden9fy and develop coali9on of stakeholders ü Develop smart street light specifica9ons for pilot ü  Install pilot smart street light assets ü Measure outcomes and impact of smart street light pilot

ü  Impact and Performance Measures of B’Smart Project ü Rider percep9ons of transit experience ü Rider and non-‐rider percep9ons of City mobility ü Percep9ons and reality of crime and transit safety (detec9on, preven9on and

management) ü  Last-‐mile connec9ons to-‐from pilot transit hub sites ü On-‐9me performance of transit opera9ng around pilot Hubs ü Ridership (up or down) ü Single-‐Occupancy Vehicle use and city traffic conges9on around Hubs ü Cycling and pedestrian experience to/from/around pilot transit Hubs
