      <title>Metro Amherst-Buffalo Corridor Alternatives Analysis. Task 4 Screening Methodology &amp; Preliminary Evaluation Criteria Technical Memorandum</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1440532</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) have initiated the preparation of an alternatives analysis (AA) study to evaluate transit service alternatives for the Amherst-Buffalo corridor. This Screening Methodology & Preliminary Evaluation Criteria Technical Memorandum describes the evaluation framework and process for screening alternatives for new transit service in the corridor. This draft technical memorandum describes a proposed three-tier process for screening the long list of alternatives, evaluating conceptual alternatives, and subsequently evaluating the detailed final “build” alternatives. These methods will be used to screen and evaluate any alternatives that may be identified during the study. The contents of this document include a description of the FTA guidelines for alternatives analysis studies; a description and background of the current project; the goals, objectives and evaluation criteria to be used as part of the screening process; a description of the alternatives identification process; and a description of the evaluation and screening process that will be used to evaluate alternatives. The over-arching objectives of this process are (1) to develop a set of alternatives that respond to the transportation problems of the corridor; (2) to screen alternatives to identify those most responsive, (3) to optimize the performance of the most responsive alternatives within the limits of their technology and operating characteristics; (4) to analyze, evaluate and refine the detail in these alternatives; and thereby (5) to support the identification of an alternative as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA).]]></description>

      <title>NIAGARA FRONTIER MASS TRANSIT STUDY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/5771</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The report is presented in three parts.  The first part is a transit economics report which concerns itself with inventory and analysis of present transit service and facilities in the study region.  The second part is a civil engineering report which details the study processes leading to the recommendation of an exclusive right-of-way transit facility for the Buffalo-Amherst corridor.  The third part is a traffic engineering report which deals with patronage and revenue estimates, and offers judgments concerning the economic feasibility of the combined transit facilities recommended in the preceding two parts.  The three elements of the Niagara Frontier Mass Transit Study were conducted concurrently, with cooperation and interaction on the part of three prime consultants.]]></description>
