DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe objectives of this project were to review currently used methods of evaluating the economics of alternative transportation systems, develop a framework within which to evaluate the economics of alternative multimodal metropolitan transportation systems, and develop quantification methods for such factors as accessibility and capacity that relate them to all modes. The research was to include sensitivity analysis to identify those aspects of a modal investment policy that have major impacts on the output variables and therefore should be included in the results presented to transportation decision makers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis synthesis will be of interest to transportation planners, environmental analysts, and government officials at the federal, state, regional, and local levels. It describes the state of the practice with respect to the procedures and methodologies used by planning agencies at all levels to plan and evaluate alternative multimodal passenger transportation and to integrate these plans with related land use and environmental issues. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the federal studies and guidelines that are available and presents the findings of an extensive survey of state, regional, and local agencies to identify the evaluation methods that are being used in the practice. Selected case studies for five types of modal evaluation are presented: intercity corridor, regional study, regional screening, urban corridor, and regional programming.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe overall goals of the grain train project are to preserve rail service in a multimodal system, provide additional rail cars to alleviate existing shortages, and to redistribute energy rebate funds in accordance with acknowledged constraints. The general purpose is to analyze and evaluate the operation of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)-purchased covered hopper rail cars for service to shippers in eastern Washington during calendar year 1995. Specific objectives are to evaluate: the average loads of grain transported per car; where the program assists in fulfilling WSDOT's mission as a provider of multimodal freight transportation options; car income and expenses; grain car inventory control; capital and operating costs of the grain car program; cost savings from road impacts; and the impact of the project on preserving rail service and consequent benefits to shippers and taxpayers. A final specific objective is to determine the amount of energy saved through the use of the cars. This report details the project and its results.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConference participants sought to identify gaps in the data and analytic tools needed to support economic analysis as related to transportation investment and to develop research proposals designed to fill those gaps. The opening day of the conference featured presentations by economists, transportation analysts, and policy makers on the theory and practice of economic analysis and its usefulness to decision makers. The second and third days of the conference revolved around participatory workshops. Six separate working groups deliberated over three questions: (1) What is the appropriate level of investment in transportation to encourage economic health? (2) How should projects be prioritized within a multimodal transportation program? (3) How much revenue is likely to flow from user charges, tolls, and other sources? At the conclusion of its deliberations, each working group developed a list of research proposals, which it then presented to the conference as a whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe study is concerned with the examination of the economic consequences of establishing multi-modal transportation companies. The purpose is to examine the economic impact various combinations of parameters or test factors have on a transportation company formed from single modal carriers, and to determine on the average which organizational form, transportation company or single modal carriers, is economically superior. A simulation model was developed for the comparison of a transportation company with single modal carriers. The test factors selected for analysis are: the operating ratios of truck and rail modes, the load factors of these modes, the amount of available capacity, and the level of shippers' logistics constraints.
