The document summarizes TransLink's goals of building a sustainable and well-managed transportation network in Greater Vancouver. It outlines key infrastructure expansions and service improvements from 2000-2010, including more transit routes and vehicles. It notes ongoing efforts to improve cost efficiency while meeting rising ridership demands. The document proposes two options to generate supplemental funding for further transit and road projects, through a small property tax increase and higher transportation improvement fees on vehicles.
The Long-Range Transit Plan (LRTP) is a comprehensive strategy for enhancing significantly the public transit system for the central Ohio region over the next 23 years. Utilizing a variety of methods to ensure public participation, the LRTP has been developed to respond to the growing transportation needs of the central Ohio region by providing an expanded, reliable, and safe transit system. In every major metropolitan area, investments in the transportation infrastructure, including public transit, is vital for ensuring economic vitality and improved quality of life.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Rail Revival: NCITEC White Paper Background - CAITWaheed Uddin
Major problems with Mississippi Gulf Coast cities include the following: high congestion on highways during peak hours, increased volume of commercial traffic and safety risks to other auto motor traffic, high level of vehicle emissions, and lack of public transportation options for the underserved. Coastal communities face extreme traffic congestion during hurricane evacuations, which is a major hurdle for federal, state and local emergency management agencies.
The primary objective of this project and white paper is to propose sustainable rail strategies for serving commuters transportation to major employers and patrons/visitors to casinos, beaches, and other places of tourist attraction within the coastal highway corridors.
The proposed commuter rail framework integrates intercity passenger rail service with local economies. Passenger rail/commuter intercity rail service is evaluated for East-West (E-W) Coastal corridor south of I-10 and North-South (N-S) Corridor along east of US-49 on the existing freight rail corridors. Technical feasibility and economic competitiveness evaluation are presented, which show that breakeven can be achieved within 6-7 years considering only direct revenues.
