Title: MULTIPLE-PHASE START-UP: HEADACHE OR OPPORTUNITY?
Abstract: Two distinct approaches to the start-up of light rail systems have been used over the last decade. Certain properties, such as San Diego (the South Line) and Portland, have begun operating the entire line at once, whereas others, such as Los Angeles and San Jose, have chosen a multiple-phase start-up. A few of the major aspects of a multiple-phase start-up are managing the media, coordinating operations and construction, the cut-over of a new phase, and maximizing windows of opportunity. A multiple-phase start-up can be a great opportunity to sell the system and work out some details of operations and maintenance if the potential pitfalls are effectively managed.
