Book excerpt: The freedom to move from place to place has become an essential part of modern life. Demand for public transportation will increase as costs associated with driving rise, traffic becomes congested, and people become inconvenienced. In order to encourage the use of public transportation there needs to be many different options and the provision of convenience, ease of use, and safety. A clear connection between different modes of transportation, and between interstate and local networks will also encourage public transportation. Advances in high-speed rail have allowed trains to compete with airplanes and automobiles for long distance travel. High-speed rail is an initiative of the current federal administration and is currently being planned for California, with an initial line breaking ground next year. This Thesis assumes that the next logical step is to link the whole West Coast from San Diego to Vancouver allowing for the opportunity to move millions of people and goods each year at a fraction of the carbon cost of airplanes and automobiles. This infrastructure has a higher up front cost but lower maintenance costs, and in the long run is cheaper than the existing travel options. High speed rail is the transport infrastructure of the 21st century that will reestablish rail as a convenient, reliable, and cost effective means of travel. The stations that link cities together will be the gateways for visitors while also being economic hubs for their respective cities. This thesis is for the design of a high-speed rail station and transit hub on a site adjacent to the King Street Station and Union Station in downtown Seattle. The site is perfectly situated at the South end of Seattle's central business district. The existing stations have other means of public transportation, such as Amtrak, Sounder, Link light rail, and Metro buses. The station is next to the football/soccer and baseball stadiums that draw in millions of people each year. Located between two prominent neighborhoods this station will also connect Pioneer Square and the International District by bridging the railroad tracks and 4th Ave, which currently discourage movement. When built the King Street Station and Union Station epitomized the values and ideas of travel. The new station would juxtapose itself to the adjacent 100-year-old stations by speaking to the current cultural values, environmental concerns, and technologies of travel. This station will be a commercially and culturally oriented development that brings together traditional uses related to transport hubs with different aspects of the arts, dance and theater. The passengers become the performers and as they move through the space they are the ones to watch and be watched. Having a theater and gallery the station becomes a place to arrive at and enjoy and not just a portal to rush through to your next destination. This station will be a microcosm of the city that will provide shopping, food, cafes, and entertainment. This station will become an icon for the city and transportation much like how Union Station and King Street Station have been over the last 100 years.

Book excerpt: This compendium of Intermodal Transportation Passenger Terminal Facilities provides a descriptive overview of cooperative approaches to offer improved transportation choices and connections. It includes a representative snapshot of Federally funded, proposed Federally funded, public and privately financed, and privately financed intermodal facilities. The information in the descriptions was provided primarily by local sponsors or interested parties of the terminal facilities and enhanced with U.S. Department of Transportation data. The compendium was compiled in response to general public interest in terminal facility developmental activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the number of airplane passengers using U.S. airports expected to grow to 1 billion by the year 2015, ground access to U.S. airports has become an important factor in the development of our nation's transport. networks. Increases in the number of passengers traveling to & from airports will place greater strains on our nation's airport access roads & airport capacity, which can have a number of negative economic & social effects. This report addresses the development of intermodal capabilities at U.S. airports, incl.: (1) the roles of different levels of gov't. & the private sector; (2) the extent to which such facilities have been developed; (3) benefits, costs, & barriers to such development; & (4) strategies to improve these capabilities. Charts & tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extension of the Spanish high-speed rail network into the Basque Country will connect the capital cities of the three Basque provinces, creating an opportunity to drive change at many levels of the transportation network and making the region more attractive to both internal and external business interests. Accordingly, accessibility improvements can drive economic growth, with particular benefit to traditionally "peripheral" regions from the point of view of air accessibility such as Donostia-San Sebastiin and Vitoria-Gasteiz. This thesis aims to identify how multimodal integration and decision timelines impact network characteristics that collectively make the region more accessible for business travel both originating in and destined for the Basque Country. The high-speed rail alone will improve accessibility to a few destinations, but a multimodal journey - provided there is a direct high-speed rail connection to Bilbao Airport - results in many sizeable activity centers becoming reachable within a critical timeframe important to business journeys. A system dynamics model captures the relationships between the various subsystems including the high-speed rail network, the urban transportation networks, and Bilbao Airport. The main contribution is to support decision-making that will prevent repeating historical mistakes in the area of intermodality. This approach helps to depict the synergistic nature of sequential decisions that can activate particular system feedback, resulting in compounded benefits. Due to the nonlinearity of complex systems driven by reinforcing and balancing feedback loops, prioritizing intermodality sooner than later will be much more impactful in the long term, leading to not only faster growth but stabilizing and higher levels of performance - creating a sustainably attractive landscape for business activity.
