Download or read book Transportation Planning Handbook written by ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 1204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planning fundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental concepts of transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This new fourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of all users, the role of safety in the planning process, and transportation planning in the context of societal concerns, including the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a new format that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approach to planning, design, and implementation, including guidance toward the latest tools and technology. The material has been updated to reflect the latest changes to major transportation resources such as the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADA accessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining objectives, identifying problems, generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a more multi-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the rising importance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This book presents the fundamentals of transportation planning in a multidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference for day-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning software packages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, this book is the culmination of over seventy years of transportation planning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of a changing society. For a comprehensive guide with practical answers, The Transportation Planning Handbook is an essential reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains articles from leading analysts and researchers on sustainable transportation, who provide critical reflections on how automobile-related climate policies have evolved up to now in Europe and around the world, in view of the widely recognized need to substantially curb global emissions of greenhouse gases in the coming decades. Authors describe the policies which have been most effective, outline their economic and social implications, present success stories while critically reviewing less successful examples, and suggest strategies to decarbonize passenger transportation on a global scale.
Download or read book Exploring Airport Employee Commute and Parking Strategies written by Diane M. Ricard and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2012 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airport employees are vital to the operation of an airport. They staff the airport on a daily basis from well before the first flight operation until after the last flight operation, which at many airports is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Airport employees generate a significant number of vehicle trips to and from the airport each day, which impacts air quality, airport traffic conditions, and traffic in the communities surrounding the airport and on the freeway system. The purpose of this report was to determine what is known about airport employee commute patterns and commute modes, what programs are being offered to airport employees by the airport operator or a transportation management association (TMA) to provide them with alternatives to the drive alone commute to work, how progress is being monitored, what is known about the effectiveness of airport employee commute options (ECO) programs, what the challenges are for the providers of such programs, and to research some ECO programs offered by non-airport employers for program elements that may have applicability in the airport environment. This report was accomplished through a literature search of airport employee commute programs, commute programs offered by non-airport employers that may have applicability in the airport environment, and through interviews with four U.S. and one U.K. airport operators (of 16 airports and 3 TMAs identified, 84 percent interviewed) that offer comprehensive airport ECO programs. Each of the five case studies provides an example of how ECO strategies are applied in the airport environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book calls for a paradigm shift in urban transport, which remains one of the critically uncertain aspects of the sustainability transformation of our societies. It argues that the potential of human scale thinking needs to be recognised, both in understanding people on the move in the city and within various organisations responsible for cities.

Download or read book Understanding the Evolution of Transportation Pricing and Commuting at MIT written by Matthew R. Hartnett and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In summer of 2016, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will introduce Access MIT, a new commuter benefits program aimed at reducing employee single occupancy vehicle (SOV) commuting. This initiative is the latest in a long series of incremental adjustments to employee commuting benefits to provide (dis)incentives to SOV commuting and the use of transit. MIT has implemented these programs as a response to (1) state and local regulations addressing the environment, (2) tax incentives that allow MIT to offer transportation benefits to employees using pre-tax dollars and (3) dramatically increasing costs of providing parking. This research utilizes biennial MIT commuting surveys and related data sets for years 2004 through 2014 in order to achieve a fuller understanding of historical trends in transportation benefits pricing and employee commuting behavior at the Institute. Identified trends are analyzed in order to determine which benefit program or individual commuter characteristics might best explain any observed change in mode choice over this period. The findings of these analyses provide a benchmark against which to evaluate the effects of the new commuter benefits program in a future study. This research finds that, from 2004 to 2014, there are significant shifts in mode choice among employees commuting to and from MIT's Cambridge main campus (e.g., public transportation mode share grew from 35% to 43%). This coincided with MIT's need to convert parking dedicated land for new research and academic use. In order to explain this change, this thesis studies trends in a range of employee demographic characteristics and transportation benefits pricing characteristics for the ten-year period. This research finds that while certain employee demographic characteristics are correlated with measures of mode choice, these demographics have not changed dramatically over the decade and, therefore, pricing characteristics and exogenous factors most likely explain most of the observed shifts in employee commuting behavior to and from campus across years. The findings of this thesis provide evidence in support of continued use of transportation pricing incentives as a means to influence employee mode choice and reduce parking demand. Finally, this research highlights a list of likely outcomes of MIT's new Access MIT initiative and evaluates the applicability of this thesis' findings to other urban employers, especially in high growth districts.
