Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new bus transit planning tool is developed for application in determining operating policies of a fixed-route bus transit system. The objective of the study is to model a bus transit system which functions under time-varying passenger demands and service characteristics. The two phase transit model developed in this research is intended for use as a mass transit planning tool, to solve transit problems confronting the mass transit planner. The model is used to compute cost differentials in transit system options. These alternatives of expanding, abandoning or modifying service depend upon the service frequency, fleet size and other system attributes such as operating speed, delay, passenger demand and relevant cost factors. The model is formulated in two phases, jointly utilizing linear and dynamic programming techniques. It is directed toward optimizing transit operation during one period and then aggregating each operation over the range of transit service periods. The basic components of system function to be optimized (minimal total cost) include such variables as bus operating and ownership costs, passenger costs in terms of walking, riding, and transfer times as well as bus fares. The transit model has been programmed for a digital computer. This model requires inputs of existing street configuration and bus routes, bus schedules, speed and delay data for street networks, fare structure, load factor and passenger Origin-Destination information for different periods. A practical application of the transit model is presented in the format of a case study. This application illustrates the utilization of the methodology for deriving bus transit operating policies and the consideration of planning alternatives. The result of a comparison of these policies and alternatives is a significant reduction in the total system cost. Special emphasis has been given to the analysis of the structural elements involved in a transit system as well as new transit planning techniques. There follows a summation of the findings and the implications of the results. This summary includes an appraisal of the model as to its limitations as well as recommendations for future research. The appendix, finally, lists a summary of notations review of previous research, flow charts and listings of computer programs, supplemental data, computer input and output files, and an annotated bibliography containing current literature concerning the operation and planning of public transportation.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paratransit services are more expensive to provide on a per-trip basis than fixed-route transit, so operating efficiencies could be achieved by attracting some paratransit riders to fixed route. The Guidebook identifies the characteristics and preferences of four distinct market segments: people with disabilities who use fixed-route transit; people with disabilities who use paratransit; others who currently use paratransit; and people with disabilities who normally do not use transit. The Guidebook also provides step-by-step procedures for estimating demand, locating bus stops, training drivers, providing travel training for patrons, marketing services, and evaluating successes.

This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and local gov¿ts. are looking for alternative strategies to help fund transit systems. Value capture strategies (VCS) -- joint develop., special assessment dist., tax increment financing, and development impact fees -- are designed to dedicate to transit either a portion of increased tax revenue or additional revenue through assessments, fees, or rents based on value expected to accrue as a result of transit investments. This report reviewed: (1) the extent to which transit agencies and local gov¿ts. use joint develop. and other VCS to finance transit; (2) what stakeholders have identified as facilitators of, or hindrances to, the use of these; and (3) what stakeholders have said about the effects of fed. policies and programs on the use of these strategies.
