Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to assess the complexity of a portion of Cincinnati, Ohio that is currently underserved by transit. This study outlines potential mode types that could be used to improve service, and then determines the best mode to be a busway. This study then looked to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a case study. The Port Authority of Allegheny County built out their three busways at different times, experimenting in different ways to build and use a busway. Pittsburgh’s three busways serve as a guide for determining the necessary factors to use in determining a proper alignment. The thesis then used Pittsburgh’s example as a guide for determining the most suitable corridor for development. Population density, station placement, land acquisition and build-out costs were all used as factors in determining the most suitable alignment. The thesis finds the former Chesapeake & Ohio of Indiana corridor to be the most suitable for development due to its relative cost to build per potential ridership.
