This book was released on 1992 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report documents a study of the financial and other benefits associated with the joint development or use of public transit facilities in Texas. The study explores the concept of transit-related joint development and identifies the various joint development strategies employed by transit agencies throughout the country. It also provides an assessment of the financial and other benefits of selected existing joint development projects on both a national and state basis. The information was used to develop a series of general planning guidelines for identifying appropriate joint development applications in Texas. The principal tasks conducted in the study included a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, the identification and investigation of national joint development case studies, a survey of Texas transit agencies to assess their joint development experiences, and the development of the general planning guidelines.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study examined the factors that influence commuting behavior, the reaction of commuters to various strategies and techniques to encourage alternative commute modes, and the use of different programs by public agencies and businesses in Texas. This was accomplished through a state-of-the-art literature review; discussion groups with representatives from the public and private sectors in Dallas, Houston, and Austin; an evaluation of the Houston Employer Trip Reduction Plans; and surveys of bus riders, carpoolers, and motorists on HOV lanes and freeways in Dallas and Houston. The research results identify the strategies that appear most appropriate for further application in Texas and potential implementation techniques. The results indicate that voluntary efforts are favored over mandatory programs. Further, support was strongest for transit services and support facilities, ridesharing, employee incentives, and on-site amenities. Less support was voiced for pricing strategies, including congestion pricing, increasing parking rates, and raising the tax on gasoline.
