Book excerpt: The objective of this document is to provide a single source of sketch planning data on the most important performance characteristics of contemporary urban transportation systems in a format that lends itself to easy reference. This handbook does not deal explicitly with passenger demand, but assesses also the supply or performance characteristics of urban transportation systems, including the following: speed; capacity; operating costs; labor inputs; capital costs; energy consumption; emission of air pollutants; and, accident rates and costs. The following modes are discussed: rail transit (rapid, light, and commuter); bus transit; automobiles, trucks, and the highway system; high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes; and, automated guideway transit (AGT).

Book Economic Characteristics of the Urban Public Transportation Industry

Download or read book Economic Characteristics of the Urban Public Transportation Industry written by John Dearborn Wells and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to presenting an overview of the economic conditions in the urban public transit industry as a whole, this project incorporated four papers that investigated separately the economic characteristics of the urban bus, rail rapid, commuter rail, and taxicab industries. Also included were three papers in which an econometric model of urban bus transit was developed, regulatory constraints and their implications were reviewed, and external effects of urban transit operations such as air and noise pollution and accident were analyzed. The analyses tended to be rather general, concluding that demand deficiency, especially for bus transit, was the main cause of the economic difficulties of urban transit systems.

Book excerpt: Rail transit offers society a number of benefits, including reduced congestion and pollution and increased mobility. However, rail systems and cars are costly: Transit agencies can pay more than $3 million per car, often using federal funds. This report describes: (1) characteristics of the U.S. market for transit rail cars; (2) the federal government¿s role in funding and setting standards for transit rail cars; and (3) challenges transit agencies face when procuring rail cars. The report analyzed U.S. and worldwide rail car market data for commuter, heavy, and light rail systems and interviewed Department of Transportation officials and domestic and international industry stakeholders, including the American Public Transportation Assoc.
