Book excerpt: Transportation Planning, in the past and curretnly for the most part, has been driven by mobility needs as measured by the level-of-service (LOS) criterion in the peak hour. What is even more unfortunate in the current planning process is that coordination and integration of modes are still not seriously addressed by the respective modal transportation authorities. The creation of the Louisiana Transportation Trust Fund in 1989 and the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficienty Act of 1991 (ISTEA) mandates that a statewide, systemwide balanced and integrated transportation plan be developed that addresses the following key areas: (i) passenger movements on multimodal systems; (ii) freight movements on multimodal systems, among other tasks by year 1995. The specific objectives of this paper, part of a larger $1.2 million ISTEA research study, are: (i) the development of a conceptual flow diagram of a statewide intermodal transportation plan for passenger movements that covers the entire state, including border crossings, access to ports, airports, and intermodal transportation facilities, and at the same time addresses the needs and/or connectivity of both non-metropolitan and metropolitan areas; (ii) provide a detailed description of each phase of the conceptual flow diagram in order to alow for quantitative model developments; and (iii) identify how the proposed methodology may be applied to the state of Louisiana (area) 50,820 square miles; (population 4,219,973 (1990) with all the main modes of transportation.

Johnson, School of Public Affairs. This book was released on 1999 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, the second in a two-year series, provides an in-depth look at selected multimodal/intermodal transportation planning methods, funding programs, and projects. The report is intended to provide a detailed appraisal of a spectrum of multimodal/intermodal practices from which policymakers in Texas could select those types of practices deemed most advantageous and appropriate to the state. In contains seven case studies of "Best Practices in Multimodal/Intermodal Planning Methods", six case studies of "Selected Multimodal/Intermodal Funding Programs", and five case studies of "Selected Multimodal/Intermodal Projects". Several Appendices at the end of the report contain relevant information on authorizing legislation, program application forms, funding eligibility criteria, cooperative agreements, and the like.

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.

Johnson, School of Public Affairs. This book was released on 1998 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This policy research project was funded by and conducted for the Texas Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. The research was performed during the 1997-98 academic year by 18 graduate students and a faculty project director at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin. Its purpose was to examine "best practices" in governmental multimodal/intermodal transport policies, plans, and programs. This task was accomplished by investigating supranational, national, state, and local government multimodal/intermodal activities in North America, Western Europe, and Latin America.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis describes the process by which state departments of transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) integrate freight planning into the surface transportation planning process. It will be of interest to state and MPO planners, port planners; traffic engineers; and to the trucking, rail, and shipping interests in both the public and private sectors. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses the requirements for freight planning resulting from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) with particular emphasis on the development of an intermodal management system (IMS). In addition, that act narrowed the application of the congestion management system (CMS), which is also discussed in the synthesis. Since enactment of that legislation, another act, the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 was passed and makes the IMS optional rather than mandatory. This has not changed the philosophy or the intent of these planning applications, but it has changed the implementation aspects. Many agencies, however, are continuing with the IMS and CMS planning process. This report describes the methods used by selected agencies for forecasting freight flows, data collection practices, and the techniques for integrating freight planning into the established surface transportation planning processes at the state and regional levels.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The researchers developed a methodology for statewide freight transportation planning that focuses on identifying and prioritizing infrastructure needs to improve the intermodal freight transportation system. It is designed to provide the framework for state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations to meet the freight transportation planning requirements as mandated first by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and then by The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century. The researchers accomplished this by interpreting the results of a literature search on the legislation, participant roles, and analytical methodologies to formulate the steps of the method and demonstrating how each step is performed. The process is based on the interaction between inputs from stakeholders and a technical analysis that provide decision support information. A case study demonstrates how the technical tasks for the system inventory and data forecasting are accomplished. The study shows that a standard but flexible freight planning methodology can help remove impediments to efficient goods transportation. Future developments such as geographic information system data, improved freight flow data, and established system inventories are shown to facilitate the recommended process.
