Abstract

This synthesis documents elevator and escalator maintenance activities, safety practices, and passenger communication efforts at five U.S. transit agencies. The five agencies where information was gathered are MARTA (Atlanta, Georgia), NYCTA (New York, New York), SEPTA (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), CTA (Chicago, Illinois), and BART (San Francisco, California). These five agencies together operate 1,418 elevators and escalators throughout 850 rail stations. Together, they are part of a U.S. Federal Transit Administration-sponsored consortium with the American Public Transportation Association, Amalgamated Transit Union, and the Learning Center, engaged in developing a Transit Elevator/Escalator Maintenance Training and Apprenticeship Program. The following four appendixes to TCRP Synthesis 100 are available in electronic format only. • BART Elevator PM, 59 at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_syn_100AppendixA.pdf; • BART Escalator PM, 254 at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_syn_100AppendixB.pdf; • BART El-Es Training 1, 507 at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_syn_100AppendixC.pdf; • BART El-Es Training 2, 556 at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_syn_100AppendixD.pdf (Author/publisher) This report is available online at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_syn_100.pdf
