Toolkit for Integrating Non-Dedicated Vehicles in Paratransit Service Last
This report is a toolkit that can be used by transportation managers to determine the appropriate split between dedicated and non-dedicated paratransit services to increase cost-effectiveness and meet peak demand needs. This report includes a Non-Dedicated Vehicle Optimization (NDV) Model and User Manual. The NDV Model is spreadsheet-based and may be used by paratransit system managers and planners to assist with making decisions regarding appropriate service ratios for specific conditions and environments. In addition to the toolkit, a Case Study Report and an Interim Report (which includes an analysis of factors that influence the mix of dedicated and non-dedicated paratransit service) are available for download from the project\u27s website
City of Eugene development plan for Walnut Station mixed use center : Phase I report
32 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Maps, charts, figures, tables, appendix. Published May, 2006. Captured July 20, 2009.This document summarizes the work that led to the Emerging Vision
and explains the design intent behind the major elements in the Emerging Vision. This vision will provide the foundation

Rural transportation system plan : Josephine County, Oregon
321 pp. Includes maps. Published June 2004. Received from ODOT January 2, 2007.The Josephine County Rural Transportation System Plan (TSP) establishes the countyâ s goals, policies
and action strategies for developing the transportation system outside of the Grants Pass and Cave
Junction Urban Areas. The TSP is intended to serve as a blueprint or master plan to guide transportation
decisions to address both short and long term needs. The TSP discusses on-going roadway maintenance
needs, and identifies improvements to enhance roadway safety, non-motorized travel (bicycles and
pedestrians), and public transit service, and to accommodate future land development activity, particularly
in the Murphy and Merlin areas. [From the Plan]"This project was partially funded by a grant from the Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) Program, a
joint program of the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and
Development.
Portland LRT 10 station area best practices assessments and recommendations
81 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Includes maps and figures. Published August 25, 2007. Captured December 28, 2007.The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to the City of
Portland about how to accelerate desirable development activity
around light rail stations. It also recommends techniques for
evaluating the potential success of new LRT stations. The guidance
and recommendations result from research on best practices and an
evaluation of ten Portland LRT stations. [From the Document
Transit preferential streets program : Final report
116 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Includes figures. Published July, 1997. Captured February 26, 2008.The City of Portlandâ s Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan adopted June
21, 1996 recommends developing a Transit Preferential Streets Program as a means of
dealing with congestion and air quality problems within the metropolitan area. It is the
goal of the Transit Preferential Streets Program to improve transit travel times and
service by giving priority to transit vehicles where conflicts with autos occur. A team of City of Portland staff in association with a Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) selected the following five corridors for analysis of the effect of transit
preferential strategies:
NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. (Hawthorne Bridge to N. Lombard Street);
NE Sandy Blvd. (Burnside Bridge to SE 82nd Avenue);
SE Hawthorne Blvd./Foster Road (Hawthorne Bridge to I-205);
SE Division Street (Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. to SE 82nd Avenue);
SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway/Barbur Blvd. (I-405 to Oleson Road).
This report summarizes the findings of a detailed operations analysis of these corridors,
and the solutions that were developed to improve transit travel time and the potential
impacts associated with their implementation. [From the Document
