Transforming the nation’s logistics infrastructure-MykenseyApoorva Sharma
This report reveals that the Indian logistics infrastructure is really poor as compared to other countries like US and China.
Poor logistics infrastructure costs the economy an extra USD 45 billion each year.
This report is about India’s current Logistics infrastructure which is inadequate to meet growth aspirations and it also required Logistics infrastructure to grow through Strategies i.e. shift to a balanced modal network and then implementing them, For this national Logistics policy was emerged.
A large part of India’s future logistics network is still to be built
India uses roadways for the movements of goods more than railways and waterways which is not good for the environment and it is expensive also.
India spends 13 per cent of GDP on logistics which is more than what the US (9.5 per cent) and Germany (8 per cent) spend.
India needs to increase its use of rail, and realise the potential of its waterways.
The Objective was to increase India’s rail share to 46 per cent.
If India fails to achieve this, waste caused by poor logistics infrastructure will increase from the current USD 45 billion equivalent to 4.3 per cent of today’s GDP, to USD 140 billion or more than 5 per cent of the GDP in 2020.
If tackled in an integrated and coordinated manner, this can be reduced by half and India’s transport fuel requirement reduced by 15 to 20 per cent.

Although freight transport contributes significantly to the productivity of the U.S. economy, it also involves sizable costs to society. Those costs include wear and tear on roads and bridges; delays caused by traffic congestion; injuries, fatalities, and property damage from accidents; and harmful effects from exhaust emissions. No one pays those external costs directly—neither freight haulers, nor shippers, nor consumers. The unpriced external costs of transporting freight by truck (per ton-mile) are around eight times higher than by rail; those costs net of existing taxes represent about 20 percent of the cost of truck transport and about 11 percent of the cost of rail transport. This presentation examines policy options to address those unpriced external costs.

Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information,
both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide
the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade
ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a
number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently
been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through
the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to
maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.

U.S. Bus Rapid Transit: 10 High-Quality Features and the Value Chain of Firms...The Rockefeller Foundation
Bus rapid transit (BRT) is increasingly being considered in cities across the United States as a reliable and cost-effective public transit mode. A large part of the appeal of BRT is its flexibility, offering a choice of system features that can be adapted to each community’s needs and constraints. As more U.S. cities look to BRT, they will need to understand the value chain that provides the vehicles, technology, services and financing needed to create a high-quality BRT system.

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.
Presented at the American Planning Association (APA) Quad State Conference in October, 2015 and will present at the National APA Conference in April 2016. The presentation discusses why flexible parking requirements are a useful tool and how and when a city should transition into them.

The Gulf Coast Parkway is a proposed new roadway that will connect US 98 in Gulf County with US
231 in Bay County (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Project Location Map and Study Area
The existing corridor is becoming increasingly congested and the roadway is insufficient for freight
movement via trucks. The proposed new roadway would provide additional traffic capacity, improve

access to state roads, and provide an improved freight corridor for the region. The new route will
provide for more direct access to US 231 and in turn provide improved access to Interstate-10, as well
as providing greater accessibility to the coastal communities in Gulf County. Currently, US 98 crosses
through Tyndall Air Force Base. The proposed new roadway will bypass the air force base which will
allow for heightened security on the base and provide an alternate route if passage through the base is
temporarily blocked or restricted. Additionally, the new route will provide an alternative hurricane
evacuation route for area residents.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.
