Boring Company Las Vegas Convention Center Loop
|
| The LVCC Loop system — a three-station transportation system consisting of 1.7 miles of tunnel — was built in approximately one year (using the now-legacy Godot Tunnel Boring Machine). LVCC Loop's cost was approximately $47M (firm fixed pricing) for the two tunnels and three stations (two surface and one subsurface). Tunneling occurred during large conventions (>100,000 attendees pre-COVID) with zero road closures and zero attendee disturbances.

City of Boston GoHubs
|
A majority of our residents rely upon public transit, biking, walking, and driving to get around our city. But, shared mobility and technology advances are altering travel.
New ways of transportation are introduced each day. The future of transportation may very well be shared, electric, and highly mobile.
GoHubs! are intended to help us organize these modes. We provide information on how to access them and navigate the technology, and ultimately make it easier to get around Boston

Smart Transit Hubs - B Smart
|
Pilot a smart street light corridor within a system of transit “super-nodes” developed by transforming current major transit stations into transit hubs (Hubs) defined by:
- connected, city-wide mobile resources; public wifi
- last mile, multi-modal transport between and to/from Hubs (car share, bike share, ride share, preferably electric vehicles with EV-charging at Hub)
- GPS / GIS / location services
- Bus rapid transit, preferably electric, running non-stop Hub to Hub

Smart and Accessible Transportation Hub
|
| This GCTC Team aims to systematically investigate a novel cyber-physical infrastructure framework that can effectively and efficiently transform existing transportation hubs into smart facilities. The Smart Hub is capable of providing better location-awareness services (e.g. finding terminals, improving travel experience, obtaining security alters) to the traveling public, especially for the underserved populations including those with visual impairment, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or simply navigation challenges.

{{{summary}}}
Any transit stop can be turned into a Mobility hub where the first and last mile vehicles are serviced, charged and stored when not in service. At these
hubs passenger experience can be improved with digital information signs that respond to real-time conditions, improved lighting, improved pedestrian
safety, bike racks, improved safety including CCTV cameras, and much more.
Using technology to increase safety and security at transportation hubs improves ridership and reduces cost. Transit hubs can become business hubs where
people stop for food and coffee, to pick up and drop off packages, and to do some local shopping on their way to and from work. Attachment A of this
document offers an “EV-Ready Transit Hubs White Paper” exploring this topic in more detail.
