Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As traditional sources of funding for the nation's surface transportation system fail to keep pace with demand, proposals for new sources have proliferated. New funding strategies, such as pricing the use of new and existing roads, and new institutional arrangements, such as public-private partnerships, have emerged over the past few years. As with all transportation policies, these strategies raise questions about equity. To address these concerns, the Transportation Research Board convened an expert committee to provide guidance to public officials about assessing the equity of evolving transportation finance mechanisms. The committee's findings are presented in this report. They are organized under the following chapter headings: (1) Equity and Transportation Finance; (2) How Transportation is Funded and Who Pays; (3) Equity Through Different Lenses; (4) Transportation Finance Equity: Evidence and Experience; (5) Equity and Decision Making: Experience with Road Pricing; and (6) Findings and Recommendations."--pub. desc.

Book excerpt: The study was prepared under contract to the Federal Highway Administration Office of Freight Management and Operations for the purpose of helping to frame discussions for future federal program initiatives designed to promote freight productivity and safety. Current and past mechanisms are identified for funding and financing freight infrastructure development. Freight infrastructure is defined as port facilities, highways, bridges, highway access to ports/airports, cargo-handling facilities/equipment, warehouse construction, rail lines and rail spurs, and channel and berth dredging. A subset of freight infrastructure, intermodal infrastructure, is defined as the points of connection where freight is transferred between different modes, such as trucks, ships, rail, and airplanes.

The purpose of the Executive Order is to enhance existing programs and to develop more effective investment in infrastructure. FHWA established the "Innovative Financing--Test and Evaluation Project (TE-045)" in order to identify existing transportation financing barriers and to advance innovative financing mechanisms that would increase highway investment. The initiative asks State and local governments to identify specific projects which could be advanced through new ways of financing.

Download or read book Funding Surface Transportation in Minnesota written by Zhirong Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation systems play an imperative role in enhancing the productivity and the quality of life in the United States. The funding and financing of transportation is a complex process requiring joint efforts of federal, state, and local governments. To meet current and future transportation needs, policymakers must constantly assess the mechanism of transportation finance to ensure adequate and sustainable investment. In recent years, depleting state and local budgets and growing capital and maintenance costs related to transportation have been a common challenge. The state of Minnesota is estimated to have billions in unmet transportation needs to keep up with inflation and the increase in transportation demands. This report reviews the funding of public surface transportation systems (including highways, transit and local roads) in Minnesota. We look at how transportation projects have been funded, identify current and future policy issues likely to affect transportation funding, and go over some of the funding options suggested by other researchers. The aim is to encourage better understanding and management of issues related to transportation funding in Minnesota.
