The papers included in these proceedings focus on key technical and institutional issues that are unique to implementation of the LRT mode. These papers are divided into four groups. Those in Part 1 and 2 provide an overview of light rail transit and policy and planning considerations. They treat issues such as institutional arrangements, community and citizen participation, feasibility factors, development constraints and energy considerations. The papers in Part 3 cover engineering design of LRT fixed facilities and railcar technology. Part 4 contains papers on operating issues, including such matters as surface operations, self-service fares, the interface with bus transportation, and general traffic considerations

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 180 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

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

2 editions published in 1983 in English and held by 174 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

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

Book
)
4 editions published in 1980 in English and held by 170 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

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

The findings are presented of two successful conferences which formed the foundation of a unique process of federal rule-making, and the underlying process that culminated in the conferences is discussed. The availability of new funds for urban mass transportation in 1974 raised complex questions of equitable resource allocation. Reaching answers to these questions involved the developing of consensus on a series of compromise solutions that would best reconcile the competing demands of different claimants. The first conference in February 1975 reached agreement on five principles which dealt with regional multimodal strategy, incremental planning, managing of the existing system, framework for evaluation, and public involvement. Cost effectiveness and usable segments were other areas of Administration's (UMTA) description of the implementation of 1976 was to review the Urban Mass Transportation Administrations (UMTA) description of the implementation of the proposed policy as well as to review on the revised policy on Urban Mass Transportation Investment. A number of related issues were discussed at both conferences. Documents prepared by UMTA as background to the conferences are discussed
