Airport to University West-East Corridor Study Salt Lake City, Utah Final Environmental Impact Statement

Based upon coordination with public and government agencies, combined with evaluation of technical considerations, the Wasatch Front Regional Council has identified a Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems as the preferred alternative to serve the Airport to University Transportation Corridor of Salt Lake City, Utah. The 10.9 mile west-east corridor will be constructed from the Salt Lake City International Airport, through the Central Business District (CBD) to the University of Utah Health Sciences Center. It will interface with the existing north-south LRT line at 400 South and Main Street, and at South Temple and 400 West. The West-East LRT project will fulfill the following objectives: improve transit reliability between major destinations within the corridor; reduce traffic congestion; improve air quality; interface with the existing and planned regional transit system; assure minimal impacts on the natural and manmade environment; support development of a multi-modal transportation system that is convenient, accessible, and flexible enough to increase capacity; and connect with service extended to new areas in the future. This document describes the environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the West-East LRT, and a No-Build alternative. The purpose of analyzing a No-Build alternative is to provide a baseline for comparison of alternatives, as well as to determine the effect of taking no action. The No-Build alternative includes all existing transportation improvements as well as all planned and committed transportation projects listed in the State Transportation Improvement Plan. The environmental, transportation and financial impacts of the two alternatives are evaluated and compared against a wide range of considerations including: land use, visual and aesthetic impacts, historic and cultural impacts, parks and open spaces, socioeconomic and demographic, public safety and security, environmental justice, wetlands, ecosystems, water and air quality, floodplains, potential containment sources noise and vibration, minerals, utilities, mobility, cost effectiveness, and transportation systems. Some impacts to the natural and manmade environment will occur. These impacts, along with mitigation measures to reduce anticipated impacts are detailed in this document

Annual Report on FAST Action Section 3006(b) Pilot Program for Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility Fiscal Year 2022

This report provides an update on projects selected pursuant to four Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) (81 FR 17549, 83 FR 46534, 84 FR 58819, and 86 FR 55907) for Section 3006(b) of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST), Public Law 114-94, Pilot Program for Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility (ICAM Pilot Program). The primary purpose of these projects is to find and test promising, replicable public transportation health care access solutions that support the goals of (1) increase access to care; (2) improve health outcomes; and (3) reduce health care costs. The ICAM Pilot Program, Mobility for All Pilot Program, Access and Mobility Partnership Grants, and Rides to Wellness Demonstration Program are initiatives that build partnerships, stimulate investment, and drive change across the health and transportation sectors to ensure that transportation disadvantaged Americans can access non-emergency medical transportation to the health care services they need

Innovative Toll Collection Systems Pay Off for Motorists and Agencies

Electronic systems are rapidly replacing traditional stop-and-pay toll booths for roads, bridges. tunnels, and ferries worldwide. A recent survey of major metropolitan areas in the United States found that 91 percent of toll plazas had electronic, drive-through capability. How do these systems work? Radio devices called transponders, mounted in or on the vehicle, carry coded information that tells the system which account to debit or bill. As the vehicle travels through the toll plaza, an antenna-like device in the pavement or along the road "reads" this data into the system. Additional information, such as type and weight of vehicle, can also be collected

A Collaborative Transportation and Air Quality Public Education and Partnership Building Initiative: The First Five Years

This report chronicles the actions, partnerships, achievements, and lessons learned following five years of implementing "It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air." Intended primarily for state and local transportation and air quality management agencies, it offers many different and innovative ideas and approaches already field-tested by pilot and demonstration communities. Although technical a national initiative, "It All Adds Up to Cleaner Aid" really functioned more like multiple individual localized campaigns, supported at the national level through provision of materials and other resources

FTA Bus Safety Data Report 2008-2016

The Bus Safety Data Report (BSDR) is a data analysis prepared by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The goal of the BSDR is to present and summarize bus transit safety and security event data with a focus on patterns and trends in event, fatality, and injury data within the report’s period of study. This BSDR presents data reported through the National Transit Database (NTD) program for the years 2008 through 2016. This report highlights totals and rates from 2016, the most recent year of data available for analysis, and provides trends across the nine-year study period

National Public Transportation Safety Plan

MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141 (2012))1 amended Federal transit law by authorizing a new Public Transportation Safety Program at 49 U.S.C. § 5329. Pursuant to Section 5329(b), the Public Transportation Safety Program must include a National Public Transportation Safety Plan to improve the safety of all public transportation systems that receive Federal transit funds
