This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. On Oct. 17, 2007, the Fed. Transit Admin. (FTA) convened an expert panel to discuss methods for evaluating the economic development (ED) benefits of transit projects. FTA hopes to develop a standardized, empirically-based, and rational method for evaluating the potential ED benefits of project proposals. Members of the panel were charged with recommending one or more methodologies for further research, development, and testing that could be applied to forecast the ED impacts, and the associated benefits, of major transit capital investments. Panelists provided input on a number of key issues: Definition of ED vs. land use; Valuation of ED benefits; Factors affecting ED; Contribution of ED to total project benefits. Charts and tables.

The economic evaluation of a project in any sector entails the measurement and comparison of cost and benefit streams expected from alternative investments. This paper presents an exposition of the social surplus method of measuring benefits. The exposition is intended to shed light on the nature of benefits to be expected from road transport projects, both with and without various types of market imperfections, and in particular, to show how these benefits relate to changes in the supply and demand of transported commodities. Thus one purpose of the paper is purely expository; to record the economic mechanics behind the social surplus method of benefit evaluation as applied to road projects. In the following chapters, the paper presents a method of measuring benefits which takes traffic responses into account, discusses the factors underlying their relative importance, relates the benefits to associated changes in the production and consumption of the transported commodity, and interprets the impact of market imperfections on benefit measurement.

This report will be of interest to transportation economists and other analysts to assist them in selecting methods to conduct economic impact analyses of transit investments.

The 17 chapters in this book, which evolved from a conference on measuring the contributions of ITS sponsored by the California Department of Transportation in February 2002, examine the costs and benefits of ITS in an economic and business policy context. Section 1 examines the broad theme of how and what ITS contributes to the economy and how one makes a business case for ITS. Section 2 includes three chapters on ITS applications in mass transit. Section 3 explores ITS applications in the automobile/highway system. Section 4 considers integrative issues including how ITS is perceived and how it can be positioned to improve surface transportation. This volume will be especially useful to researchers and policy makers working in transportation, transportation engineering, and the economic analysis of transportation systems.

Through the New Starts program, the Fed. Transit Admin. (FTA) evaluates and recommends new fixed guideway transit projects for funding using the evaluation criteria identified in law. In Aug. 2007, FTA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), in part, to incorporate certain provisions within the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) into the evaluation process. SAFETEA-LU requires an annual review of FTA¿s New Starts process. This report discusses: (1) the information captured by New Starts project justification criteria; (2) challenges FTA faces as it works to improve the New Starts program; and (3) options for evaluating New Starts projects. Includes recommend. Illus.
