Book

4 editions published in 1988 in English and held by 181 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Conference on Organizational Responses to the Changing Transit Environment was sponsored by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA). The objective of the conference was to assess the effectiveness of transit organizational structures now being used, and those developed in recent years, and to identify further organization changes appropriate to the new conditions and pressures transit faces. It was believed that contemporary guidance on organizational change would emerge to assist those addressing this topic on the local level. Findings were presented in resource papers and presentations and further refined in workshop discussions

Light rail transit : proceedings of a national conference conducted by the Transportation Research Board, June 23-25, 1975
and sponsored by Urban Mass Transportation Administration, American Public Transit Association, University of Pennsylvania by National Conference on Light Rail Transit(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1975 in English and held by 178 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Includes papers that cover a wide range of subjects related to light rail transit including a description of system concepts, such as performance characteristics of such transit; comparison with other modes; and applications. The technology and operational aspects of light rail transit are treated in a set of papers that address permanent way requirements, electrification and control systems, and U.S. and foreign vehicle developments. Of major significance are the economic considerations of light rail transit. A number of papers also discuss the various costs of construction, operation, and maintenance as well as social costs and benefits. The observation is made that the current trend to move away from a unimodal solution to a system that blends a number of discrete transit elements, each of which is closely tailored to demands and local conditions, should make light rail transit desirable for cities that require a fixed guideway system

Twenty eight papers and workshop reports are published which were presented at the conference which addressed problems in the implementation and application of promising techniques within those major functional areas commonly thought to be relevant to paratransit application. Workshops and their reports were structured around 6 major issues: the role of paratransit in an integrated urban transportation system; the effect of governmental capital and operating assistance on the development of paratransit; institutional changes needed to foster the development of paratransit; paratransit in small communities and nonurbanized areas; operation issues for paratransit: productivity, vehicles, dispatching and management; and the role of paratransit in serving the needs of special groups. Included in this publication are four state-of-the-art papers covering the spectrum of transportation options and services broadly categorized as paratransit, the development and organization of paratransit services and systems, and the empirical analyses of the operation of several innovative paratransit applications

Transportation planning for small and medium-sized communities : proceedings of a workshop by
National Research Council (U.S.)(
Book
)
5 editions published in 1980 in English and held by 174 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The proceedings are reported of a conference that was convened to provide for the exchange of experiences among practitioners of transportation planning for cities of fewer than 200,000 people, to provide guidance for transportation policies and programs, to foster the development of future activities in this area, and to provide a document that will reflect the proceedings of the conference and serve as a basic resource for practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. Forty four papers were presented in five areas. Papers concerning the products of the transportation planning process from the state perspective and the appropriate level of planning effort in smaller cities provided the impetus for the workshops. The latter began by considering issues and levels of effort pertinent to the functional workshop area. Resource papers aided workshop delibrations. The second half of the conference was allocated to workshop activities on techniques. Plenary sessions followed each workshop session

Book
)
2 editions published in 1983 in English and held by 173 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The application of trolley bus systems to modern day transportation needs was the principal focus of a four day exploration of current technology and uses around the world. Highlighted at the meeting were not only those transit systems that use trolley buses but also specific developments in areas such as vehicle types, infrastructure and propulsion systems. Improved reliability, good looks and economy have given the trolley bus a new lease on life. No one expects the trolley bus to replace the existing transit modes but it is believed that the trolley system can provide a viable alternative in high density metropolitan areas

2 editions published in 1977 in English and held by 168 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This publication contains workshop reports, conference papers and case studies that were presented at the conference on Transportation System Management (TSM). The conference addressed three objectives: provision of the latest information on DOT policies and requirements, the provision of the latest information on experiences with the actual implementation of a range of individual TSM actions, the examination of the emphasis of the regulations on a regional or metropolitan planning perspective. The conference emphasized urban areas that had or were having success in implementing TSM actions. Three major issues were highlighted in the presentations as well as during the discussion of implementation of individual TSM actions. The issues are: TSM as a planning process and the role of metropolitan planning organizations in that process, perceived conflict between short-term and long-range transportation objectives and public involvement and acceptance of TSM actions
