    Toolkit for Integrating Non-Dedicated Vehicles in Paratransit Service Last

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    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.

    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.
