This book was released on 2009 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation has reached a critical juncture with its current surface transport. (CST) policies and programs. Demand has outpaced the capacity of the system, resulting in increased congestion. In addition, without significant changes in funding levels or planned spending, the Highway Trust Fund -- the major source of fed. highway and transit funding -- is projected to incur significant deficits in the years ahead. This testimony discusses: (1) recent findings on the structure and performance of the CST program; (2) a framework to assess proposals for restructuring of the CST program; (3) potential options to fund invest. in the CST system; and (4) recent findings on the benefits, costs, and trade-offs of using public-private partnerships to help fund transport. invest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation¿s economic vitality and the quality of life depend on the availability, dependability, and security of its surface transportation (ST) network of roads, railways, ports, and transit systems. For the past several decades, demand has outpaced the capacity of the ST system. Furthermore, fed. ST programs are not effectively addressing key challenges, such as congestion, or ensuring that transportation dollars are well spent. This report: (1) identifies key themes emphasized in proposals by stakeholders, incl. assoc. and research org., for restructuring and funding ST programs; and (2) discusses the extent to which various recommendations align with principles developed for evaluating proposals to restructure and fund ST programs.

Download or read book Improving Urban Access written by Elliott D. Sclar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities. To thrive, they will need efficient and sustainable forms of transport, but to achieve this, the financial incentives guiding urban transport operation must change – and change rapidly. Urban transport plays a critical role in determining the social, environmental and economic shape of cities. Improving Urban Access: New Approaches to Funding Transport Investment provide innovative ideas on how we might reorganize transport finance to ensure that it is suited to serving the social, environmental and economic principles that must guide future urban living. Continuing the work begun by its predecessor, Urban Access for the 21st Century, the authors assess the complexity of implementing new finance approaches and suggest ways to make positive and radical changes. Although the range of revenue raising options remain limited to users, indirect beneficiaries, and the general public, these can be recast to transform the way transport is paid for and therefore how its services are delivered. New finance models only succeed when they are intrinsically linked to the economic, social, cultural and political forces that create urban life. Together these volumes provide a starting point for the deeper research and policy design needed to successfully create urban transport finance systems that can address the challenges that 21st century cities present.

Download or read book The Evaluation of Transportation Investment Projects written by Joseph Berechman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, the use of some kind of a formal transportation project evaluation procedure is a requirement. Yet, by and large, these are partial; in fact, much weight is often placed on the initial -pre-engineering -phases of the planning process, when vital information, such as accurate costs and demand projections, is largely missing. Moreover, many of these procedures neglect to consider key issues such as project’s risks, capital costs financing, latent demand, market imperfections, labor force availability and various incompatibilities between trip rates, travel times and activity location. As a result, projects, which are judged as viable under such deficient evaluation schemes, may have had a significantly different projection of capital costs and demand should a well-founded, thorough, and efficient evaluation process be used. Against this background, this book’s main objective is to construct a comprehensive and methodical economic, planning and decision-making framework for the evaluation of proposed transportation infrastructure investment projects. Such a framework is founded on four key principles. It is based on well-established economic, transportation and policy-analysis theoretical principles; it is comprehensive enough to encompass all relevant evaluation issues; it is applicable to a wide range of transportation investment projects; and it is amenable to empirical application including a sensitivity analysis and alternative scenarios regarding urban, regional and national developments.

This book was released on 2021-04-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connie Kelly Tang and Lei Zhang have provided a holistic coverage of the entire surface transportation project and program development process from the beginning of planning though environmental approval, design, right-of way acquisition, construction to operations and maintenance.— Neil Pedersen, Executive Director, Transportation Research Board, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Washington, DC Transportation program and project development is complex. The process spans over planning, programming, environment, design, right of way, construction, operations, and maintenance. Professionals from civil engineering, planning, social and environmental sciences, business and project management, and data science, work together in a relay team to transform an idea into a highway, a transit hub, an airport or a water facility. It is challenging for any one person to master all the knowledge and skills needed to perform every relevant task. However, it is critical for all involved to understand how this relay works and how the societal, environmental, governmental, and regulatory contexts influence the process and the technical solution. Professionals who understand the process and see the big picture are those who rise to the top as leaders. Transportation Project and Program Development provides holistic coverage on the technical subject matter, processes and procedures, and policy and guidance associated with transportation project and program development, which can help professionals become program leaders. For each phase of the process, key products delivered, processes used, governing principles, foundations of applicable science and engineering, technologies deployed, and knowledge required are discussed. While all coverages reflect the practices of the United States, the logic, principles, science, and engineering are applicable to all countries of the world. The book can also serve as an introductory textbook for undergraduate students and as a textbook or reference for a graduate-level course in civil engineering, transportation engineering, planning, and project management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shrinking gas tax purchasing power has resulted in a growing dependence on local transportation dedicated sales taxes to fund California roadway and transit projects. However, these new funding strategies stray from the traditional user pays principle embodied in the gas tax and long espoused by the Federal Highway Administration as the fairest way to finance highway projects. Using the Presidio Parkway (an ongoing Public Private Partnership project in San Francisco which utilizes availability payments) as a case study of current highway construction financing we find that federal and state gas taxes are still the largest source of funding at 53% while federal support, tolls, and sales taxes contribute 23%, 16%, and 8% respectively. An analysis of users of the facility, in the form of commuters who use private cars and bus transit to access downtown from the surrounding San Francisco and North Bay area, reveals that individual contributions through a host of transportation taxes and fees are miniscule when compared to the annual availability payments received by the concessionaire. We found that commuters' average annual contribution to the new facility ranged from $3 to $29 which is orders of magnitude less than the $548 annual contribution that would be required if the project were to be supported solely by tolls. These findings highlight the trend in current highway construction financing strategies that subsidize commuters who are unwilling to pay the full cost of transportation infrastructure with broad based taxes that are collected regardless of benefits accrued to the individual.
