A national survey of 800 registered voters was conducted in February-March 2010 regarding transportation issues. The key findings were:
1) There was strong support for the idea that both the US and individual communities would benefit from expanded and improved public transportation like rail and buses.
2) While most voters felt they had no choice but to drive, a majority would prefer less time in cars and more transportation options.
3) Availability, not cost, was cited as the main barrier for those not using public transportation.
4) Rail was seen as the type of transportation most neglected in federal priorities.
5) Improving public transportation was preferred over building more roads to reduce congestion.

Andrew - Allegheny County Transit AnalysisAndrew Ritchie
This document analyzes public transit access and economic mobility in Allegheny County, PA. It finds that areas with longer average commute times have lower odds of escaping poverty. Maps show population density and changes from 2000-2010 overlaid with bus routes. Denser urban areas have better transit access while outlying suburbs have poorer access. Advocacy groups call for improved safety and expanded routes/service in areas like Penn Hills and Garfield that suffer from lack of adequate transit. Millennials moving to the region will increase demands on public transit. Future funding through Act 89 aims to improve service.
Public scrutiny and agency accountability are at an all-time
high. Agencies are looking for a better understanding of the issues that are important to their customers. In an era of strained financial resources, it is necessary to order priorities that are important to the people that support the transportation system through taxes and fees. The Public Engagement Planning (PEP) program at the Texas A&M Transportation
Institute (TTI) provides research innovations and coordinated support to sponsors in the areas of public engagement planning and public opinion research.
The document summarizes King County Metro Transit's "In Motion" program, which applies community-based social marketing techniques to encourage individuals to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and increase use of alternative transportation. The program focuses on engaging residents at the neighborhood level rather than just working with employers. It has led to reported decreases in driving alone of 24-50% and increases in transit ridership of 20-50% across four neighborhoods. The program aims to develop an easily replicable model for changing travel behavior and increasing use of existing transportation infrastructure.

Houston Neighborhood Greenways Proposal by Jay Blazek CrossleyHouston Tomorrow
Neighborhood Greenways for Houston aims to connect 85% of Houston neighborhoods by bike routes called greenways by 2020. Greenways are low-traffic streets designed for bicyclist safety and comfort with features like traffic calming, few stops, and priority over cars. Implementing greenways could help improve quality of life by promoting active transportation like biking and walking. The presentation discussed examples from other cities and research on benefits like increased biking and walking rates and public health outcomes from active transportation options.
Jay Blazek Crossley presented at the monthly Livable Houston Initiative meeting on some new research he has been doing looking at Houston's growth in a way that hasn't been done before to question some of the myths of Houston's growth.
I gave a presentation in the Summer of 2007 at the monthly Livable Houston / Smart Growth Initiative meeting that we co-host with the Houston-Galveston Area Council on the 2006 Residential Permits data from the U.S. Census Bureau. We looked at data on the City of Houston and Harris County and compared those to the nine other largest cities in Texas and their surrounding county as well as the nine other largest cities in the country and their surrounding counties.
The talk turned into an interesting discussion, which was the intention, because we really were exploring this data and trying to figure out what it means. Houston and Harris County are unique in many ways, most importantly in that we saw a building boom in 2006 and the Metropolitan region had more permits filed for new residential units than any other region in the country. Much of the discussion was spent dissecting this fact and looking at what type of units we are building and the share that is going into the central city or into unincorporated areas of the county. Looking at it from one point of view, the City of Houston is doing a bad job of capturing its share of the growth that is occurring in the region. When we looked at multi-family units, though, we found the opposite is true, in that the city is developing multi-family units at a much higher rate than the county.
One of the final graphs presented, shown below, shows the unique character of Harris County compared to both other counties in Texas and those that surround the biggest cities in the country. In those areas of Harris outside of the City of Houston only 11% percent of new units are multi-family units, the lowest figure for this variable of any of the counties we looked at in the study, except for Collin County in Texas, in which you will find Plano, one of the cities that is developing drastically differently than its surrounding county.

This document discusses transportation and sustainability. It notes that vehicle miles traveled per household decreases as household density increases. Population growth in the Houston area counties from 2000-2008 is shown, with Harris County experiencing the largest growth. Current and projected population and job growth in Houston sectors is presented, with the largest projected increases being in the Loop and surrounding areas. Charts show Houston has the most daily rail boardings per mile of any major US city system. The document advocates for rail-supported, transit-oriented development to accommodate population growth.
The document provides advice and best practices for managing development teams. It discusses holistic management, focusing on the entire team rather than individual tasks. Technical management responsibilities include design, quality, and implementation. Effective recruiting involves building a great team and keeping the right people. Execution emphasizes continuous integration, reflection, and improvement. Providing frequent feedback in a positive 10:1 ratio is important. Finally, managers are responsible for employees' careers by understanding their goals, providing challenges, and ensuring ongoing development.
The document discusses strategies for scaling organizations successfully through successive stages of leadership and management. It recommends hiring autonomous teams and dispersing information widely to create autonomy. Leaders should iterate quickly to version 1.0 and focus on building a learning culture through retrospectives. Maintaining some regular structure and rhythm is important, as is investing in leadership education. Leaders are always "on stage" and responsible for perceptions of their work. Social relationships must be nurtured through celebration and ceremony.
The document summarizes key elements of French Canadian folk music, including popular themes, structures, development and dissemination over time. Some highlights include:
- French Canadian folk songs often featured themes of skylarks, blacksmiths, and popular children's songs like "Alouette".
- The music was passed down orally and themes included royalty, war, patriotism and love.
- Collections like "Chansons Populaires du Canada" helped disseminate songs throughout Canada and France in the 19th century.
- Events like Confederation and growing business interests further spread French Canadian folk music across the nation in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.

PSTA conducted market research over 3 years, which found that a majority of residents want an enhanced transportation system including expanded bus service, new park and ride lots, and dedicated bus and trolley routes. Interviews with key stakeholders revealed questions about funding plans and the need for a cohesive transportation brand. A review of 7 transportation plans found they all aim to improve the transportation system but need consolidation into a single vision. It was determined that successful communication will require an inclusive single platform to engage the public.
1) A public hearing was held in Fitchburg, MA to discuss the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's plans to upgrade infrastructure and technology for public transportation in the upcoming year.
2) The document examines questions about whether expanding bus routes and adding more buses would better serve the population compared to infrastructure/technology upgrades.
3) Census data shows that Fitchburg has a higher percentage of residents over age 65 than the county and state, and that 92% of residents commute by car while only 2% use public transportation, indicating the city's reliance on personal vehicles.
The document discusses transportation accessibility and livable communities, noting that improving access enhances quality of life. It highlights trends like an aging population and growing number of low-income households that impact transportation needs. The document also reviews data sources like the National Household Travel Survey that can provide insights into how demographic factors influence transportation accessibility and mobility.
How can the stigma of public transport as the 'poor man's vehicle' be overcom...Nuno Quental
The document contains opinions from several experts on how to overcome the stigma of public transport being seen as only for the poor. Some key points made:
- Public transport is seen as undesirable due to poor conditions, but cities like Paris show it can be clean, safe, and reliable. Subsidies are needed to make prices competitive with private vehicles.
- Public transport must improve speed, reliability and integration to compete directly with private cars. Measures like coordinated schedules and regional tickets could attract more riders.
- The stigma comes from some public transport users having no choice but to use it. Walking and cycling conditions also impact perceptions if they are unsafe.
- Efficiency, high quality infrastructure, campaigns
The document proposes a suite of location-based networking tools called CarFree Maine that is designed to enhance non-automotive transportation connections throughout the state by building on local partnerships and marketing to young adults in the Boston and New York City metro areas in order to get them to visit Maine without having to rely on a personal vehicle. The tools would utilize mobile and web applications to map transportation routes involving multiple transit networks and allow users to share information to help plan car-free trips throughout Maine.

Mandating Reduced Transit Fares for Low-Income Residentsandrejohnson034
This memorandum examines the inaccessibility of public transit for low-income New York City residents due to rising fares. It discusses a report finding that increasing fares are becoming a barrier to economic mobility for low-income New Yorkers. The analysis will review how state transportation policy can be amended to give low-income city residents greater economic access to public transit by revising fare structures. It will assess the problem through data on unemployment, income levels, and fare increases compared to economic conditions.

The presentation argues for a new transportation bill that invests in public transit, complete streets, and sustainable communities to create jobs and improve access, health, and outcomes.
My Observation Of A Community Resource At Life Strategies...Samantha Randall
This document discusses transport disadvantage in Northern Ireland and policies to address it. Transport disadvantage affects groups that cannot easily travel to opportunities due to factors like cost, location, disability, or age. The Regional Transport Strategy aims to remedy problems faced by disadvantaged groups through policies to improve public transport networks that currently lack in many areas and address growing issues of car dependence and transport disadvantage. The essay will evaluate how the Regional Transport Strategy policies seek to address the nature and impacts of transport disadvantage in Northern Ireland.
This document provides an introduction to Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRTS) and discusses the Metro Bus Service (MBS) project in Lahore, Pakistan. It outlines the key characteristics of a BRTS, including dedicated lanes, elevated stations, off-board fare collection and high-capacity buses. BRTS offers greater flexibility and lower costs compared to rail systems. The MBS in Lahore is a 27km corridor serving important areas of the city. It has led to reduced travel times and costs for commuters as well as environmental benefits from improved public transport. A socioeconomic impact study was conducted through surveys of 3900 commuters, 237 non-commuters and 500 traditional transport stakeholders to evaluate the project's social and economic effects
Car-Free living is the lifestyle choice for city-dwellers worldwide. But what happens when you want get out of the city? For generations city dwellers have been spent their summers along the Maine Coast, but without a car most people just give up and say-
"You can't get theyah from Heyah..."
CarFree Maine is making sure that this saying has no more use than a plastic lobster! This Elevator Pitch outlines our proposal for a CarFree-Travel planning application in Maine.
1) The document discusses how lower-income residents displaced from inner cities by gentrification often relocate to suburbs that lack robust public transit, creating barriers to employment opportunities and social services.
2) It proposes pilot programs using shared mobility services like Uber and Lyft to provide "first-mile last-mile" connections from suburbs to public transit stations and job centers to improve access for these residents.
3) Looking to the future, it argues transit agencies should evolve from fixed-route providers to "mobility managers" leveraging new technologies like shared, autonomous, and electric vehicles to better serve community needs.

El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Convincing Convincing
Accountable
Government officials must be held accountable for how our
transportation tax dollars are spent. We cannot afford to
build more roads, while existing roads are in disrepair.
Income
Expanding and improving our transportation options will
help those of poor or modest incomes or those without
cars have a way to get to their jobs, training programs or
school.
Health
A better network of roads and trails that are safe for
walking and bicycling would help Americans stay active
and healthy. Kids could walk or bike to school, families and
workers would have better transportation options, and
those who choose to walk or bicycle can be healthier.
Progress
It has been 50 years since government really looked at our
transportation needs. We need our leaders to have their
eyes on the future and invest in modern transportation
options, including public transportation. We cannot rely on
yesterday’s transportation options in our 21st century
economy.

where they need to go
To provide more affordable options
To create jobs
To reduce traffic congestion
To improve public health
To enhance safety

25. The greatest concern about the status quo is existing roads.
And which one, if any, would be your greatest concern about
continuing the current government approach that gives building more
roads a much higher priority than public transportation in our
communities?
We cannot properly maintain the roads we already
have
We can better use the roads we have by
encouraging flexible work hours, telecommuting,
and other strategies to reduce traffic at rush
hour
More roads will simply fill with more cars
and traffic
More roads increases our dependence on
cars and oil
