Characteristics of Urban Freight Systems

This report has been developed to support the transportation planning needs for urban goods movement and freight planning as promoted by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Characteristics of Urban Freight Systems (CUFS) has been designed to be a compilation of current data that pertain to urban freight movements. Sections I-IX deal with urban truck movement and truck terminals while Sections X-XII are concerned with the intermodal aspects of freight movements - rail intermodal yards, airports and air cargo facilities, and ocean and inland waterway ports. The data were assembled from many different sources and are expected to be of assistance to Metropolitan Planning Organization planners who deal with urban freight issues. Much of the intermodal discussions also focus on truck movements as the primary mode of access to/from intermodal facilities. The information is drawn from U.S. and Canadian experience but is community specific as it is not yet possible to develop generalized relationships. As more data become available from current data collection efforts, it should become possible to develop generalized values that can be transferred to different planning environment. An attempt has been made to include data sources developed since the mid-1980s. Information has been included from some studies dating to the 1970s where more current data were not available. All data were obtained from survey studies and were not synthesized from analytical modeling efforts. All data sources have been identified to assist the planner in assessing their usefulness. Most of the information has been collected from published reports, but some data, particularly in the intermodal freight area, came from internal memos, personal observations, and interviews. It is hoped that Characteristics of Urban Freight Systems (CUFS) will become a starting point for the collection and integration of urban freight data for local planners

Enhancing Classroom Management Through Proactive Rules and Procedures

This article presents an overview of classroom rule establishment and implementation within a proactive management strategy. Characteristics of classroom rules such as wording and means of presentation are included, and the intended nature and function of rules is discussed. It was concluded that rules do not work in isolation and therefore should be used in conjunction with an overall classroom management plan. Suggestions for future research and practice are provided
