This report, prepared for the USC Keston Institute for Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy, explores how the public interest can be protected when transportation concession agreements are executed. The report examines public concerns related to long-term concessions, reviews information that has been provided to decision-makers for recent concession deals, and highlights potential strategies to protect the public interest.
The final product of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-24(49), is a report describing future financing options to meet the nation’s highway and transit investment needs from now through 2017. The report describes the gap between current revenues and the levels of investment needed to maintain and improve the nation’s highway and transit systems over the next decade. The report outlines short- and longer-term revenue options, both conventional and innovative, to generate additional revenues and close the funding gap. The options examined by the study would help sustain the Federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF) and enable all levels of government to respond to highway and transit system funding needs on a sustainable basis.
This 2007 Report is the sixth Annual Attainment Report on Transportation System Performance for the Maryland Department of Transportation (DOT). The purpose of this report is to evaluate the progress of the Maryland DOT, its five modal administrations, and the Maryland DOT’s sister agency the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA), in implementing the Maryland Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP). This report highlights MDOT’s performance and provides elected officials and the general public with information on the effectiveness of policies, programs, and investments in improving the State’s transportation services and facilities.
The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Innovative Finance Quarterly newsletter features the latest information in Innovative Finance such as project highlights, SIB updates, legislative briefings, and more. Cambridge Systematics has been the managing editor of the newsletter since it was launched in 1996.
Commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce through the National Chamber Foundation, the Future Highway and Public Transportation Finance Study identifies funding mechanisms to meet national highway and transit investment needs. Phase I focuses on short-term funding for the period 2005 through 2015, starting with the reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). It examines Federal options that would increase Federal Highway Trust Fund revenues, and options that could enable and stimulate greater investment by states, local government, and the private sector. Phase II will address long-term funding mechanisms, including alternatives to the current fuel tax-based system.
Executive Summary
Complete report
The results of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 25-23(2) is a final report and user's guide for a prototype environmental information management software (EIMS) developed to help support environmental management for transportation and planning agencies. This software is designed to support agencies in environmental decision-making throughout the transportation process, from long-range planning through project development, construction, operations, and maintenance. The EIMS is intended to serve as one component of an agency's broader environmental management system (EMS).
For the Hudson Institute and its co-sponsors AASHTO, APTA, and TRB, Cambridge Systematics completed a study of 21st Century Transportation Finance. The study formed a part of the Hudson Institute’s 2010 and Beyond: A Vision of America’s Transportation Future. The study compares highway and transit funding needs over the next 30 years to Federal and state revenues, recommending short- and long-term revenue strategies – revised motor fuel taxes, tolling, innovative finance, and mileage-based revenue strategies – to support the nation’s transportation system.
