Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was undertaken to quantify the relationship between residential rent and proximity to light rail transit in Dallas, an auto-oriented city. This correlation is of importance to real estate developers and transportation planners as they seek to make the most efficient use of developable land and to decide on the allocation of funding for future transportation projects. This study shows that proximity to DART rail stations is associated with residential rent up to half mile radius area of the stations. Hedonic regression models in simple Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and semi log form were used for the analysis. The semi log model showed that light rail stations have the strongest relationship with rent in the 0.1 mile to 0.2 mile distance buffer, where the rent/sq. ft. is 20.92% higher than for units between 0.4 and 0.5 miles distance from stations. After 0.2 miles distance from the stations, the rent starts to drop and continues to go down till 0.5 miles distance from a station. The simple OLS model showed similar results and according to this model within 0.1 to 0.2 mile buffer area the rent is 27.6 cents/sq. ft. higher than the rent/sq. ft. in the 0.4 to 0.5 mile buffer area. This result will help to manage the extent of investment in light rail in Dallas in the future.

Book excerpt: This report will be of interest to transportation economists and other analysts to assist them in selecting methods to conduct economic impact analyses of transit investments. Although the primary goal of public transportation investments is to improve mobility, economic benefits are also important to transit investment decisions. Consequently, it is important that reliable and defensible analytic methods are used to support decisionmaking.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transit ridership is at the heart of transportation policy making and the success of any transit system. Urban planners have been focusing on the need to reduce car dependence and promote more sustainable transportation alternatives. Automobile dependence is a concern for many reasons including congestion in urban areas, pollution, and environmental damages caused by pollution. Switching to more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation modes such as public transit is likely to be an effective solution to most of these problems. As an alternative to the private car, public transit is an efficient means to move large numbers of people within cities, and transit systems play an important role in combating traffic congestion, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting compact, sustainable urban communities (Taylor et al., 2009). In recent years, the introduction of intelligent transit information systems (ITIS) applications that provide real-time information to transit users created a new hope for increased transit ridership, however, its impact in facilitating increased Transit Usage is not clear yet. This study explores the factors affecting transit ridership including ITIS and selects the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) as a case in a large metropolitan setting for this research. In order to achieve this purpose, the research examines the factors affecting rail, bus, and transit ridership. In addition, this study attempts to fill some of the gaps that exist in the literature by exploring the impact of intelligent transit information systems (ITIS) on transit ridership, and how its availability has affected transit ridership since 2012. The study adopts a monthly time series perspective (2007 to 2017) to enable the researcher to examine changes in transit ridership over a 10-year period and the incremental exposure to ITIS technology. This enables the research to capture any changes in ridership over this 10-year period, few years before to few years after the implementation of ITIS transit applications, in addition to any seasonal changes. Most previous studies of transit ridership have not included ITIS as one of the variables thought to influence transit ridership. Therefore, the disparities among the findings of empirical research completed to date point to the necessity for further study. This study addresses these shortcomings by exploring multiple factors measuring population, technology, geography, and socioeconomic characteristics. This is examined through using Time Series / Multiple Regression methods on the dataset to estimate the relationship between the models' variables to answer the research questions related to demand for transit ridership in the DFW area. In this type of research quite frequently, one is interested in interpreting the effect of a percent change of an independent variable on the dependent variable, which we can achieve through a double-log (log-log) model. As such, the elasticity of demand for transit with respect to some of the factors in the model such as percent change in fare, income or the research question variable, ITIS usage, are explored and policy implications out of these elasticities are discussed. Finally, it has been argued that ITIS reduces negative aspects and cost of using transit through providing information, saving time and other attributes, and makes transit more competitive with the automobile. Therefore, it behooves us to include also some measure of auto ridership in the models. In order to measure the responsiveness of demand for transit to a relative change in the price related to auto usage, we examine cross-price elasticity of demand for transit and how cross-price elasticity of demand could help us in measuring possible shifts from car to transit as an effect of ITIS usage. We think this research provides a significant contribution to transportation planning literature.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores the long-term demographic changes occurring near Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) stations. The study area chosen to employ the shift share method consists of two segments of DART stations along the Red Line in Dallas, Texas. The downtown DART study area consists of census tracts surrounding light rail stations: Cedars, Convention Center, Union Station, West End, Akard, St. Paul, and Pearl, and the DART suburban study area consists of census tracts around the following stations: City Place, Mockingbird Station, Lovers Lane, Park Lane, Walnut Hill, Forest Lane, and LBJ/Central. Using the shift share method with demographic data obtained through the US Census Bureau from 1990 and 2005-2009 American Community Survey estimates, this analysis illustrates demographic changes over time as a result of light rail transit investments. The results indicate that demographic characteristics of residents have changed considerably since the introduction of light rail in Dallas. Although the growth trends in the DART neighborhoods are comparable to the growth trends of the city, the DART census tracts on average have experienced greater increases in population, attracted an influx of highly educated residents with higher household incomes, and experienced significant increases in high-density development surrounding transit stations. For the most part, growth has been stronger locally than on a citywide level, and these trends have occurred most noticeably in the downtown DART neighborhoods, where transit and financial measures have sparked a development boom in which total population and housing units have grown by the hundredth and even thousandth percentile. Additionally, these demographic changes create unintended consequences that affect people of varying socio-economic statuses. Although the shift of highly educated, wealthier individuals in neighborhoods creates a greater social mix among residents, lower-income residents of these transit neighborhoods quickly get priced out of their neighborhoods.
