Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is designed to be a hands-on, planner-friendly document that answers hard questions about intermodal management system planning in practice. The guidebook is written from the perspective of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' development of its statewide intermodal management system (IMS) work plan, which includes coordination with all the state's MPOs. The following subjects of interest to IMS planners are discussed in this book: ISTEA in perspective; work plan structure and content; IMS technical team and coordinating committee organization and composition; explanatory materials to provide the IMS technical team and coordinating committee; organization and implementation of a Freight Advisory Council to foster involvement of the private sector companies and organizations; and, emphasis on "issue-based data" to structure IMS data needs and narrow the data search.

Download or read book Multimodal Aspects of Statewide Transportation Planning written by Henry L. Peyrebrune and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to department of transportation ( DOT) administrators, planning supervisors, managers, and staffs, as well as to planning consultants that work with them. It provides information for practitioners interested in the results of attempts to apply multimodal considerations at the statewide level and identifies key research findings. It covers post-ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991) processes and projects and both passenger and freight activities. The report examines the application of three multimodal aspects: alternatives, modal mix, and integration into three statewide planning functions, which include state planning, corridor studies, and financing, budgeting, and programming. The emphasis is on implementation. This report of the Transportation Research Board documents processes and research currently under development, using three approaches: a literature review, results of a survey of state DOTs, and five case studies. It cites the following states with exemplary practices in multimodal/intermodal transportation based on a 1998 report by the policy research project at the University of Texas on Multimodal/ Intermodal Transportation: Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

This newfourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of allusers, the role of safety in the planning process, andtransportation planning in the context of societal concerns,including the development of more sustainable transportationsolutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a newformat that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approachto planning, design, and implementation, including guidance towardthe latest tools and technology. The material has been updated toreflect the latest changes to major transportation resources suchas the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADAaccessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rationalplanning model of defining objectives, identifying problems,generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans.Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a moremulti-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the risingimportance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This bookpresents the fundamentals of transportation planning in amultidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference forday-to-day answers.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) requires the development of a National Intermodal Transportation System, commonly referred to as the National Transportation System (NTS). The primary goals of the NTS are to monitor the nation's transportation network, in all modes and for freight as well as passengers, and to support national transportation planning and policy that maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the network. To these ends, the NTS must assess the transportation network based on its performance, regardless of mode. The NTS must have as its basis a set of measures applicable to different modes that reflects the varied goals of ISTEA in the areas of mobility, environmental, social, and economic performance. This report proposes performance measures for the NTS, as well as a decision-making framework for using them. Further, it provides background on the environment in which these performance measures will be used by examining the ISTEA legislation, the NTS initiative, and potential data sources for supporting these performance measures.
