Download or read book Multimodal Aspects of Statewide Transportation Planning written by Henry L. Peyrebrune and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to department of transportation ( DOT) administrators, planning supervisors, managers, and staffs, as well as to planning consultants that work with them. It provides information for practitioners interested in the results of attempts to apply multimodal considerations at the statewide level and identifies key research findings. It covers post-ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991) processes and projects and both passenger and freight activities. The report examines the application of three multimodal aspects: alternatives, modal mix, and integration into three statewide planning functions, which include state planning, corridor studies, and financing, budgeting, and programming. The emphasis is on implementation. This report of the Transportation Research Board documents processes and research currently under development, using three approaches: a literature review, results of a survey of state DOTs, and five case studies. It cites the following states with exemplary practices in multimodal/intermodal transportation based on a 1998 report by the policy research project at the University of Texas on Multimodal/ Intermodal Transportation: Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis describes the process by which state departments of transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) integrate freight planning into the surface transportation planning process. It will be of interest to state and MPO planners, port planners; traffic engineers; and to the trucking, rail, and shipping interests in both the public and private sectors. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses the requirements for freight planning resulting from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) with particular emphasis on the development of an intermodal management system (IMS). In addition, that act narrowed the application of the congestion management system (CMS), which is also discussed in the synthesis. Since enactment of that legislation, another act, the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 was passed and makes the IMS optional rather than mandatory. This has not changed the philosophy or the intent of these planning applications, but it has changed the implementation aspects. Many agencies, however, are continuing with the IMS and CMS planning process. This report describes the methods used by selected agencies for forecasting freight flows, data collection practices, and the techniques for integrating freight planning into the established surface transportation planning processes at the state and regional levels.

Download or read book Examples of Statewide Transportation Planning Practices written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transportation sector is faced with new legislative mandates as reflected by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. ISTEA, coupled with the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990, provides an impetus for change in transportation planning and project implementation. Statewide transportation planning is one of the mechanisms for change that ISTEA provides. Statewide transportation plans integrate planning for multiple transport modes to balance the mobility needs of the state with future revenue sources. To support this requirement, FHWA and FTA have issued statewide transportation planning rules. These rules identify twenty-three factors to be addressed in statewide plans. The case studies included in this report demonstrate examples of coordination.

Download or read book Access to Louisiana Freight Terminals written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major objectives of this report are to develop a benefit-cost methodology for the evaluation of intermodal projects in statewide transportation planning and to examine an institutional framework conducive to cost sharing by different modal-specific programs in the State Departments of Transportation (DOTs). In order to find an appropriate institutional framework for intermodal planning, a compendium of current best practices adopted by various states is included. Evidently, better coordination and cooperation among modal-specific programs seems to be the preferred institutional framework for implementation of intermodal transportation projects. The major tenet of the study is that in the development of an intermodal project evaluation methodology for the freight sector, public agencies must necessarily incorporate the significant differences in social costs among modes. This study examines various theoretical and empirical issues involved in estimating social costs and benefits of intermodal projects combining various modal options.

Download or read book Institutional Barriers to Intermodal Transportation Policies and Planning in Metropolitan Areas written by Crain & Associates and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1996 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents and presents the results of a study of institutional barriers to intermodal transportation policies and planning. Stakeholder interviews, a literature review and a national survey of 421 transit agencies, MPOs, and state DOTs were utilized to identify 13 organizational, interjurisdictional, and resource barriers to intermodal planning. Findings of the study suggest that building community support, adequate funding, education, and leadership commitment are the primary driving forces that can improve intermodal planning practices. Structure, procedure, and leadership provide the decision-making context for intermodal planning, that is, they enable (or restrict) the regional or local decision-making process. Ten context-shaping recommendations are offered. Action planning sessions held in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Austin, Texas; and Queens, New York indicated that a number of attributes can enhance the local intermodal planning process.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), and now its successor the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), fundamentally altered the transportation planning process, providing new opportunities and new challenges for state and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). In Virginia, the Transportation Planning Division (TPD) of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is the lead state agency for transportation planning. TPD is charged with satisfying state and federal requirements for transportation planning, including ISTEA and TEA-21 requirements; however, it is assisted in the delivery of transportation planning services by various levels of activity and responsibility in VDOT's district offices. There are numerous ways in which any given state department of transportation (DOT) can organize itself, allocate responsibility, manage personnel, and establish procedures and practices to perform tasks associated with the planning process. The purpose of this project was to survey the transportation planning practices in state DOTs, document the findings, and identify practices that might be considered for use by VDOT. The practices investigated included: organization and management of transportation planning; coordination between the DOT and MPOs; public involvement procedures for transportation planning activities; intermodal planning and congestion management procedures; use of consultants for transportation planning activities. Thirty-eight DOTs responded to the survey. Summary findings are presented, a comparison of VDOT and other DOT practices is made, and potential practices to enhance transportation planning in Virginia are identified.

Book excerpt: This progress report describes the development of the NTS initiative and proposed future activities to bring the NTS to its full potential. A set of preliminary national transportation performance indicators is proposed. These performance indicators should be seen as the beginning of a process rather than as the definitive set of national transportation system indicators. A second part of the NTS analytical process involves the development and application of a national transportation network analysis capability (NTNAC) that will provide the ability to evaluate the national network in a multi- modal manner. Using the NTNAC, problems with the Nation's transportation system can be identified and policy options to address these problems evaluated. The report concludes with a discussion of the use of the NTS within the Department. It is proposed that the results of the analyses carried out using the national transportation performance measures and the NTNAC in the assessment of the Nation's transportation system, the identification of issues, and the analysis of options be presented in biennial State of the National Transportation System reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 required states to develop and implement 6 systems for managing highway pavement, bridges, highway safety, traffic congestion, public transportation facilities and equipment, and intermodal transportation facilities and systems. In 1995, the National Highway System Designation Act made the systems optional. This report identifies: the status of the states' development and implementation of the transportation management systems; how the states expect to use the systems; and the factors that have facilitated or hindered the development and implementation of the systems.
