Boston-Logan International Airport is also wellserved by direct flights with other major U.S.
international ports of entry. In July and August of
2013, there were approximately 800 direct flights
weekly to Boston-Logan International Airport from
JFK/New York, Washington Dulles, Atlanta, Miami,
OHare/Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Francisco
and Los Angeles. The bar chart on the following
page provides a break-down of these flights by
airport. Chart 3 (2.1.6) itemizes approximately $5.2B
in transportation infrastructure investment in our
region that is currently underway.
Other Airports
Which other airport(s) do you intend to use and why?
In addition to Boston-Logan, as illustrated in the
airport data chart, there are six regional airports
that contribute another 12 million passengers
annually to the region. These six airports will serve
an important function in assisting the New England
area business and tourism travelers with alternative
aviation options during the Games period, while
Boston-Logan serves as the designated primary
Port of Entry. These airports consist of TF Green/
Providence RI, Manchester NH, Worcester MA,
Bradley/Hartford CT, Portsmouth NH and Portland
ME. The supplemental chart on the next page lists
other New England airports and the airlines that
currently serve them.
Massport also owns and operates Hanscom Field,
a general aviation airport that accommodates
447 flight daily operations and 17,500 passengers
annually. Hanscom is conveniently located 30 km to
the city center.

2.3 CHALLENGES
Transport Challenges
What current and future (by 2024) major transport challenges
do your city and region face?
In May 2014, the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation (MassDOT) issued its Long-Range
Transportation Plan weMove Massachusetts
(WMM). WMM outlines the long-term strategy for
investments, policies and programs that respond
to transportation challenges facing the city, region
and Commonwealth. Key transport challenges in the
decade ahead include:
Maintaining and preserving the highway
and transit system has been a priority of
MassDOT for over a decade and will continue
to be the focus over the next decade.
Keeping the city and Commonwealth moving
during this period of tremendous investment
in highway infrastructure renewal and new
transit services is a key challenge. State and
city officials, businesses and residents have
an excellent track record of implementing
major infrastructure renewal projects with
minimal impact to commerce and quality
of life for our residents, as demonstrated
through the completion of the Central
Artery/Tunnel project, I-93 accelerated
bridge replacement program and most
recently, the Callahan Tunnel reconstruction.
Transportation management plans have
included extensive public outreach and
educational programs, promotion of transit
use, effective traffic detours and lane
management strategies, shifts in travel times,
etc. Some of these same processes and tools
will be put to use to manage transportation
during the Olympic Games.
Another transportation challenge is
determining how best to use discretionary
transportation investment to support
and leverage economic development and
adapt programs and services to meet the
evolving needs of our populations and
economic patterns. Transit and accessibility
investments defined by the plan respond
to both a renewed interest in urban living
as well as transportation desires of our
young and old populations. WMM also
presents a strong case for the economic

Transportation Plan
List all local, regional, state and/or federal entities that
would need to be involved in the implementation of your
transportation plan.
Boston 2024 continues to have positive discussions
with the Secretary of Transportation and
MassDOT senior leadership; the Massport Chief
Executive Officer and department directors or
senior leadership of Real Estate, Maritime, Capital
Programs, Aviation and Community Relations; and,
the City of Boston Department of Transportation,
the Department of Public Works and the Boston
Redevelopment Authority. We have also held
preliminary discussions with Amtrak. All of these
discussions have been positive, and a real sense
of common partnership is being developed for
transportation improvements and approvals.
As described in earlier submissions, Boston 2024
anticipates proposal of Olympic legislation that
would facilitate permitting and entitlements
for both venues and transportation in a unified
manner. The entitlement process will include
significant community engagement with local
elected officials, the surrounding neighborhoods,
appropriate environmental agencies and interest
groups, as well as business and institutional leaders.
This Boston 2024 planning and construction team
has extensive experience throughout the cities of
Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and Lowell and other
localities proposed for transportation improvements
with the successful permitting and approvals of
some of the regions most complex transportation
projects. We do not anticipate any significant
problems at this time in securing the approvals
for the permits for the transportation projects
associated with the 2024 Games.

TABLE NOTES:
Route distance takes into account use of the Olympic Route Network.
Travel times account for speeds on different roadways and reflect a speed between
congested and uncongested travel times.
For accommodation destination locations, such as the Main Hotel [Back Bay], one
centralized origin point was used.
For accommodation destination locations, the time associated with shuttle pick-up
at individual hotel locations to a centralized location for travel to venues using the
Olympic Route Network was not included.

3.1 HOTELS
Hotel Capacity
List your total hotel capacity, verified by the local tourist board
or Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The total existing hotel capacity within a Greater
Boston radius of 50 km is 47,914. Of the total
existing capacity, 25,155 rooms (53%) are within
a 10 km radius. Within that same 50 km radius,
there are an additional 4,589 rooms already
approved for construction, 4,077 (89%) of which
are within a 10 km radius, and all of which
would be built between now and 2024. As the
current market pipeline indicates, the total hotel
capacity within the 50 km radius of Boston in
2024 would be at minimum 52,503.
The hotel inventory that informs the above capacity
totals and Charts 2B-2E has been determined
by the STR Market Pipeline Report for Boston,
Massachusetts published on September 2, 2014.
STR tracks supply and demand data for the hotel
industry and provides valuable market share
analysis for international, regional hotel chains and
independent hotels. With more than 46,000 hotels
participating in STRs hotel performance surveys,
it is the worlds foremost source of historical hotel
performance trends, offering reports and data sets
that help form an understanding of historic and
forecasted market performance and supply and
demand dynamics for the hotel industry.
It is important to note that the Boston,
Massachusetts market as defined by STR may not
represent all existing or planned hotels within a
50 km radius of our Center of Energy in Boston or
within a 10 km radius of our stand-alone venues
in Lowell or Foxborough. For example, the report
does not capture hotels in southern New Hampshire
that fall within a 10 km radius of Lowell or hotels
in Rhode Island that fall within a 30 km radius
from Foxborough. Therefore, for the purpose of
establishing a solid, single-source inventory of
Boston-area hotels, no other inventory was included.

Hotel Standards
Provide a statement from your local hotel association or
Convention and Visitors Bureau that gives the rating system
used in your city and a description of the standard of hotel in
each category.
Greater Boston area hotels are categorized by
two rating systems: the Forbes Travel Guide star
rating system and STRs Market Pipeline Report.
The determination of ratings within each system
is based upon different criteria and processes and
as such we have worked with our market experts
to analyze data from both sources. Using STR as
the source of our hotel inventory list, we have
coordinated with the MCCA and Boston Convention
Marketing Center to assign Forbes Star Rating
equivalents to STRs categorizations in order to
represent consistency across the entire inventory.
The Star ratings which are determined by Forbes
and published in their Forbes Travel Guide annually
are based upon their inspectors evaluating each
property on over 500 individual criteria (primarily
guest services and hotel product). Once Forbes has
identified a property that they believe is worth a
visit, they send out an inspector to evaluate the
hotel. Until this evaluation has been completed, the
rating remains the same.
STR on the other hand separates hotels by market
class/category, which is based on the hotels average
daily rate, relative to that of the chain-affiliated
hotels in its geographic proximity. As a result, a
hotel may only receive a 3 Star rating according to
Forbes, but since they are able to command a much
higher room rate than their chain-affiliated hotels,
they fall into a higher category with STR.
Below are definitions of the Forbes Star Ratings as
written in the Forbes Lodging Criteria document.
Please note that our assigned equivalent ratings do
not claim to be representative of Forbes evaluations
and inspections but rather provide a general
understanding of Bostons current hotel market.
Five Star Hotels: These exceptional properties provide a
memorable experience through virtually flawless service
and the finest of amenities. Staff are intuitive, engaging

Planned Projects
Massachusetts agencies continue to invest in the regional operations/management and control systems to
maximize the efficiency of our transport system. The following projects are currently under development:
I-495 Design-Build Project
This project will install 27 new cameras and 2 overhead
Variable Message Signs (VMS) on I-495 between I-90 and
I-93. This project will also light the existing fiber optics
on I-495 and extend the network to I-90. Connections will
also be made to Route 3 system to create a redundant
communication path to the Mt Nebo Tower to alleviate
bandwidth on the microwave system. The new fiber-optic
system will connect all I-495 cameras to the HOC via existing
fiber-optic communications. This $10 million dollar project
will begin construction in early 2015.
ITS project between I-93 and Route 3
This project will extend the fiber-optic communications
backbone on I-95 from Route 3 interchange to exit 42 (Salem
Street). This project will also install 8 new CCTV cameras
and connect ITS devices north of Route 2 to the fiber optic
network to improve video quality and eliminate leased
line communication costs. The new fiber-optic system will
connect all I-95 cameras to the HOC via existing fiber-optic
communications. Expected advertise date is late 2014.
Route 24 ITS Project Design between I-95 and I-195.
This project will consist of approximately 20 new CCTV and
4 overhead VMS that will be operated from the HOC using
wireless communications. Expected advertise date is late first
quarter 2015.

Media Accommodations
Critical to the success of the Media Transport
System is its integration with the media
accommodation scheme and the connections
between media accommodations, the IBC/MPC, and
other key Olympic locations. In order to minimize
the complexity and cost of the Media Transport
System, media accommodations will be clustered
with a transportation sub-hub servicing each
media accommodation cluster. These clusters will
be strategically located proximate to venue clusters
and public transportation. The largest media cluster,
expected to house approximately 30 percent of
the media, will be in the South Boston Waterfront
within walking distance of the IBC/MPC (within 1
km). As planned, Northeastern University and Boston
University housing would accommodate another 25
percent of the media. The Northeastern University
cluster is proximate to Ruggles Station on the
Orange Line and the Museum of Fine Arts Station
on the Green Line. The Boston University venues are
immediately adjacent to the Pleasant Street Station
on the Green line and within walking distance of
most venues within the University Cluster. It is
anticipated that the balance of the media will be
dispersed among identified hotels within the core
area. As previously mentioned, the vast majority
of these are located on or proximate to rapid
transit or rail public transportation services. Given
Bostons compact footprint, media accommodation
clusters will be located in close proximity to many
key Olympic locations, affording the opportunity
for media members to walk to Olympic related
destinations.
Finally, it is anticipated that some media may want
to be situated closer to the more remote venue
locations in Lowell and Foxborough. All of these
locations will be served by a transportation hub and
a network of shuttle buses that would bring media
back and forth to the IBC/MPC.
