Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. On Oct. 17, 2007, the Fed. Transit Admin. (FTA) convened an expert panel to discuss methods for evaluating the economic development (ED) benefits of transit projects. FTA hopes to develop a standardized, empirically-based, and rational method for evaluating the potential ED benefits of project proposals. Members of the panel were charged with recommending one or more methodologies for further research, development, and testing that could be applied to forecast the ED impacts, and the associated benefits, of major transit capital investments. Panelists provided input on a number of key issues: Definition of ED vs. land use; Valuation of ED benefits; Factors affecting ED; Contribution of ED to total project benefits. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the New Starts program, the Fed. Transit Admin. (FTA) evaluates and recommends new fixed guideway transit projects for funding using the evaluation criteria identified in law. In Aug. 2007, FTA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), in part, to incorporate certain provisions within the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) into the evaluation process. SAFETEA-LU requires an annual review of FTA¿s New Starts process. This report discusses: (1) the information captured by New Starts project justification criteria; (2) challenges FTA faces as it works to improve the New Starts program; and (3) options for evaluating New Starts projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering text provides a holistic approach to decisionmaking in transportation project development and programming, whichcan help transportation professionals to optimize their investmentchoices. The authors present a proven set of methodologies forevaluating transportation projects that ensures that all costs andimpacts are taken into consideration. The text's logical organization gets readers started with asolid foundation in basic principles and then progressively buildson that foundation. Topics covered include: Developing performance measures for evaluation, estimatingtravel demand, and costing transportation projects Performing an economic efficiency evaluation that accounts forsuch factors as travel time, safety, and vehicle operatingcosts Evaluating a project's impact on economic development and landuse as well as its impact on society and culture Assessing a project's environmental impact, including airquality, noise, ecology, water resources, and aesthetics Evaluating alternative projects on the basis of multipleperformance criteria Programming transportation investments so that resources can beoptimally allocated to meet facility-specific and system-widegoals Each chapter begins with basic definitions and concepts followedby a methodology for impact assessment. Relevant legislation isdiscussed and available software for performing evaluations ispresented. At the end of each chapter, readers are providedresources for detailed investigation of particular topics. Theseinclude Internet sites and publications of international anddomestic agencies and research institutions. The authors alsoprovide a companion Web site that offers updates, data foranalysis, and case histories of project evaluation and decisionmaking. Given that billions of dollars are spent each year ontransportation systems in the United States alone, and that thereis a need for thorough and rational evaluation and decision makingfor cost-effective system preservation and improvement, this textshould be on the desks of all transportation planners, engineers,and educators. With exercises in every chapter, this text is anideal coursebook for the subject of transportation systems analysisand evaluation.
