Maximizing the efficiency and potential of shared rail corridors – intercity, commuter and freight – is no easy task. Data can help. Let’s get in to some specific examples. Caltrain is using an “Investment Sifting and Evaluation Toolkit” to evaluate different station redevelopment projects, providing baseline comparisons for a range of qualitative and quantitative metrics, from operations and economic factors to equity, climate resilience and urban design. Transforming Rail in Virgina (TRV) is using data to project travel demand and mode share as part of making decisions about capacity expansion in Richmond’s Shockoe Hill neighborhood, an area where an historical slave burial ground is now a significant cultural resource. These projects emphasize the role of effective data management in strategic planning and informed decision-making for shared rail corridors.
