Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was undertaken to examine strategies that have been used or considered to improve coordination between transit providers on a national basis and identify possible strategies that may be implemented by transit providers in Texas. This report reviews federal initiatives supporting transit coordination and provides national examples of state and local coordination efforts. Issues that may limit or restrict coordination are also included along with suggestions to address these concerns. Several potential coordination strategies and implementation approaches are identified from the literature review. Finally, the report contains guidelines for analyzing various coordination strategies and implementation approaches and establishing a performance monitoring program to evaluate implemented strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines strategies employed to encourage and enhance transit use in Texas and throughout the country. Two reports document the results of this research. The first is "Design Guidelines to Enhance Pedestrian and Transit Interaction, " which presents a step[-by-step process for planning and designing transit facilities to enhance passenger convenience, comfort, and safety. The report presented here documents the second portion of the study which examined policies and programs supporting transit use. It includes a state-of-the-art literature review of the use and the experience with different techniques, a general discussion of the different approaches, and more detailed case studies of the strategies used in four metropolitan areas. The report identifies the policies and programs that appear most appropriate for further application in Texas. Finally, examples are provided of the gene ral approaches and implementation techniques that can be used by transit providers, municipalities, the Texas Department of Transportation, private business, and other groups to support increased transit use in the state.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work focuses on important concepts in making information available to decision makers and the public, specifically focused on the Transportation Industry. The emphasis is on the PowerPoint presentation and enhancing the message through this medium. Critical elements include adhering to the assigned time limit, incorporating animation, font size, including images, techniques, and preparation. While much information is available on-line about presentations, audiences at too many transportation meetings view substandard presentations, which likely negatively affect understanding and decisionmaking. Blending available information, focus group feedback and observations yield a foundation for transportation planners in improving presentations to constituents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report represents the first of two document examining strategies to encourage and enhance transit use in Texas and throughout the country. The second report entitled Examination of Policies and Programs Supporting Transit Use in Texas, identifies general approaches and implementation techniques to encourage greater use of all types of transit services. This report documents the results of a study examining design treatments that can enhance the comfort, convenience, and safety of transit facilities, and to improve pedestrian and transit interaction. The study identifies the human and environmental elements that should be considered in transit facility designs and provides examples of design features that can be incorporated into different types of transit facilities. The major focus is on transit facilities appropriate in small communities and rural areas in Texas. These include bus stops, passenger shelters, and bus stations and centers. Other facilities such as light rail transit (LRT) and commuter rail stations, park-and-ride lots, and intermodal facilities are briefly discussed. A six step process for planning and designing transit facilities is presented. The report also outlines other supporting policies and programs that can enhance the design of all types of transit facilities.

Download or read book Enhancing Intermodal Service Through Public private Partnerships in Texas written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing levels of truck traffic on the State's highway system are creating an array of issues for the Texas Department of Transportation ranging from highway safety, congestion, and air quality, to the need for accelerated maintenance and capacity expansion. With trade in Texas projected to continue to increase, the pressure to explore alternatives to highway-borne freight is building. At the same time, railroads are facing challenges of their own. As a capital- and labor-intensive industry, railroads are struggling to earn the cost of capital to maintain and operate their extensive networks. As a mode that excels at long-haul intercity freight, but loses to trucking in shorter-haul movements, railroads are in need of services and capital to help gain back lost market share and compete in short-haul markets. The opportunity for establishing a win-win scenario is apparent: by improving the efficiency of intermodal rail service through targeted public-private partnerships, rail transportation may capture a larger market share of intercity freight in Texas and allow important public benefits to accrue - thereby justifying the investment. This report provides an important step in synchronizing public and private transportation planning and financing processes that mostly operate in isolation from one another to the growing disadvantage of each. A truly exciting finding is that both the public sector and the railroads are increasingly receptive to the idea of collaboration and are searching for mutually beneficial solutions to transportation problems.
