Local Communities Benefiting from Expanded Transportation Access

(StatePoint) Demand for public transportation is on the rise. In fact, 10.7 billion trips were taken on public transportation in 2013, the highest in 57 years, according to the latest statistics from the American Public Transportation Association (APTA.)

Even those who drive should take note of these statistics, which show that communities that invest in public transportation stand to gain. APTA figures point to a four-fold economic return on investment for every dollar spent on public transportation.

“Where public transportation goes, businesses thrive, property becomes more attractive, and tax revenues increase,” says Michael Melaniphy, President and CEO of APTA.

Substantial and robust public transportation infrastructure is one key innovation that helps to support economic growth in local communities, say experts. With federal funding for public transportation poised to be a critical issue for Congress this year, public transportation advocates are calling for funding legislation that is reliable and sustainable in order to plan, build, maintain and repair these systems.

“As we approach the May 31 deadline for a new surface transportation bill, it is critical that our national leaders come together to create legislation that will ensure years of economic growth and opportunity for communities across the country,” says Melaniphy.

Here are several ways such investment in public transportation could affect an individual community:

• If you are a homeowner, public transportation in a community could spell financial security during times of economic uncertainty. Residential property values performed 42 percent better on average during the last recession if they were located near public transportation with high-frequency service, according to a report by the National Association of Realtors and APTA.

• Seventy percent of millennials prefer a city or town that features a multimodal transportation option that includes public transportation. By investing in public transportation infrastructure, a community increases the likelihood of attracting new talent and industry to the area, especially as public transportation systems adopt technologies like smartphone charging stations on vehicles and facilities and fare collection via smartphone.

• Public transportation is a 61 billion dollar a year industry that puts people to work – 1.1 million jobs are created or sustained annually. As such, public transportation advocates say that by supporting measures that improve these systems, local residents will be doing their community a favor.

Information about the impact of public transportation on local communities is available at www.publictransportation.org.

No matter how you get around your community, a robust public transit system stands to impact you and your local economy.

2016 Riverwalk Vendor Lineup

Mayor Emanuel Announces 2016 Riverwalk Vendor Lineup

Concessions include thirteen entertainment, beverage and food vendors, including first-ever mobile food cart

Following the success of the Riverwalk’s inaugural 2015 season, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced an exciting new concession lineup for the 2016 season, featuring returning favorites as well as new additions.

“By investing in neighborhood assets like the Riverwalk, four new boathouses, a pedestrian bridge in Albany Park and a new rails to trails project in Pilsen and Little Village, we are building on Daniel Burnham’s vision and are remaking the Chicago River into a multi-use resource for the City and its residents while promoting economic growth,” said Mayor Emanuel. “Whether for recreation, entertainment or the pure pleasure of sitting outside and enjoying the waterfront, the Riverwalk is opening up more of the City for residents and visitors to enjoy.”

Last summer, huge crowds visited the Riverwalk and vendors were also successful. On high volume days, some Riverwalk restaurants reported 45 minute waits for tables and many of the paddling excursions and bike tours were sold to capacity. Gross revenue generated by Riverwalk vendors was more than $4.5 million in 2015, nearly four times the gross revenue generated by Riverwalk vendors in 2014, before Phase 2 of the Riverwalk was completed. As a direct result of the positive reaction by Chicago’s residents and visitors throughout the summer, the City received a large number of highly competitive proposals for the 2016 season.

Returning vendors include Urban Kayaks; Island Party Hut; Wheel Fun Rentals; Cyrano’s Café and Wine Bar; Chicago’s First Lady Cruises and Mercury, Chicago’s Skyline Cruiseline; O’Brien’s Riverwalk Café; City Winery; Downtown Docks; and Chicago Water Taxi. New vendors include Tiny Hatt, Lillies and Dulce in Horto, the Riverwalk’s first ever mobile food cart.

Much of the Riverwalk is complete; Phase 3, the City’s final phase of construction, will extend the Riverwalk from the west side of LaSalle Street to the north side of Lake Street and will be open by the fall of 2016. The completed portion between LaSalle and Lake Shore Drive will have a wide variety of food, beverage and recreational opportunities to enjoy a natural amenity surrounded by an urban canyon of great architecture.

Construction of Phase 2 and 3 of the Riverwalk was funded by a low interest loan from the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program; revenues generated from concessions and tour boats are pledged toward repayment of that loan.

The following is a list of confirmed 2016 Chicago Riverwalk listed by location and set to open in the coming weeks. The vendors will officially operate on the Chicago Riverwalk from May 30- November 1, 2016, though some vendors have already opened for the season.

Divvy Bike APP

Divvy Introduces Mobile Access Passes With ‘Transit App’

Bike Share Riders Can Now Buy Passes And Unlock Bikes Via Smartphones At 475 Stations

Divvy Smartphone App

Chicago’s Divvy bike share system announced today that it has partnered with Transit App to make it easier and faster to access Divvy bikes. Transit App will allow riders to purchase 24-hour Divvy passes directly from their iPhone or Android-based device. This option will allow customers seamless access to Divvy’s fleet of 4,760 bikes, bypassing lines at busy stations, such as those on the lakefront and at festivals or concerts. The partnership with Transit App will also allow Divvy members to access a bike even if they forget their Divvy key.

Divvy, which is operated by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) in conjunction with the bike share company Motivate International, Inc., is the first major bike share system in the US to allow riders to purchase bike share passes through an app.

“We’re excited to be offering new technology options that make it possible to access our blue bikes from the palm of your hand,” said Divvy General Manager Elliot Greenberger. “We chose Transit App because they have tens of thousands of Chicago commuters who use their service to find the nearest and fastest way to get from Point A to Point B. This is a great match for Divvy.”

Accessing Divvy through Transit App takes four simple steps:

1. Download and open Transit App.

2. Tap the nearest Divvy station on the map or in the nearby cell and select “Purchase Access Pass.”

3. Create an account and enter your payment information.

4. Receive an unlock code and walk up to an available bike to release it and ride.

If an individual chooses to create a Transit App account, future Divvy rides will be even easier. Just tap on the nearest station and follow the prompts on the screen.

Transit App will also improve access to Divvy bikes for annual members. Existing Divvy members who lose or forget their member key can log in to their Divvy account through Transit App and request a ride code. New Divvy members who sign up on Divvy’s website will also be able to request ride codes through the app and begin riding right away even before they get their member keys in the mail.

“Every month, millions of commuters trust Transit App to navigate their cities,” said Jake Sion, Director of Business Development at Transit App. “We show them all their options in one place: they can watch their next bus approaching in real-time, find nearby bike share and car share stations, or check the ETA for the closest Uber. Now, by adding payment functionality, we’re enabling people to easily use innovative services like Divvy, and ultimately save them time and money in their daily commute.”

Transit App’s integration with bike share was beta-tested in Chattanooga, Columbus, and Aspen to ensure that Divvy customers have a flawless experience. Transit App was also one of the first apps that integrated Divvy station locations and bike availability into its platform in 2014, that also includes CTA trains and buses, Metra and Pace in Chicago.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) signed on in 2014 as the System Sponsor for Divvy. Each Divvy bike sports their logo and tagline “Enjoy Your Ride.” BCBSIL’s community investment not only supports the Divvy system, but also supports bike lanes and bike facilities.

For more information and for visual step-by-step instructions on how to use Transit App to access a Divvy bike, visit www.Divvybikes.com/app
