A Handbook for Addressing Water Resource Issues Affecting Airport Development…

As the aviation industry evolves in response to societal changes including air travel demand, con- tinued implementation of airport development projects is a virtual certainty. Airport development projects are undertaken for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from the replacement of aging infra- structure to the need for additional capacity. Implementing an airport development project can be a …

Modernizing Freight Rail Regulation

Congress called on the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to sponsor this study of the U.S. freight railroad industry’s economic regulation, including its purpose and performance in ensuring that railroads can earn enough revenue to continue to operate and invest and that rail shippers can obtain adequate service at reasonable rates.1 The study charge specifically calls for recommenda…

Preserving and Protecting Freight Infrastructure and Routes

NCFRP Report 16 is the final report of NCFRP Project 24, “Preserving and Protecting Freight Infrastructure and Routes” (FY 2009). The purpose of this project was to provide practical tools to preserve and protect freight facilities and corridors. This report • Presents information about freight transportation and its importance to everyday life; • Illustrates types of conflicts between…

Airport Industry Familiarization and Training for Part-Time Airport Policy Ma…

The administration and governance of an airport can prove quite challenging to a newly appointed policy maker or an airport manager without previous airport experience. While many serving in these roles possess some aviation experience or business background, few assume these positions with a broad understanding of the myriad of issues that affect the operation, maintenance, and development of …

Feasibility of a Consolidated Security Credential for Persons Who Transport H…

The safe transport of hazardous materials (HazMat) throughout America’s transporta- tion infrastructure (to include points of origin and destination) is imperative to a safe and economically robust society. The security of the nation’s HazMat freight in all transporta- tion modes relies on a layered, multi-faceted security program. This comprehensive system is a constant monitor of the many…

Guide to Improving Capability for Systems Operations and Management

The purpose of this guide is to support transportation agencies in developing institu- tional arrangements suitable to the special demands of congestion management, now emerging as a new transportation agency priority. In particular, the strategy conven- tions appropriate to effective management of nonrecurring congestion (NRC) present new challenges for agency policy, organization and staffing…

Implementing Race-Neutral Measures in State Disadvantaged Business Enterprise…

As state departments of transportation (DOTs) carry out their highway construction programs, they are required by the U.S.DOT to direct a portion of their federal-aid fund expenditures toward small businesses called Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). A DBE is defined as a small, for-profit business concern that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially and economica…

Road Pricing: Public Perceptions and Program Development

The transportation system in the United States faces a number of significant challenges, includ- ing inadequate funding, persistent traffic congestion, and associated problems related to pollution, global climate change, sustainable energy, and neighborhood and community quality of life in an automobile-oriented society. As governments attempt to cope with these pressing issues, the concept …

Freight-Demand Modeling to Support Public-Sector Decision Making

The private sector is largely responsible for development and management of the nation’s freight flow system, but public agencies at all levels face important investment and policy decisions that may affect those flows. Decisionmakers need to understand the large and shifting increases in traffic generated, for example, by ports, inland terminals, and mega- destination centers. In 2004, U.…

Strategies for Improving the Project Agreement Process between Highway Agenci…

North American railroads and public highway departments interact thousands of times annually as the highway agencies conduct projects that cross over, under, or parallel to the railways. Each interaction requires a thorough review of the safety, engineering, and operating effects that the project will have on the railroad during construction and for decades thereafter. Although most of these re…

Aviation Workforce Development Practices

A workforce of trained, skilled professionals is essential to the health and growth of the aviation industry. In addition to the labor needs of the nation’s air carriers and air traffic control workforce, thousands of the nation’s airports and hundreds of aviation companies are in need of a wide range of talent to perform a wide variety of functions, from fundamental operations tasks to fi…
