      <title>FHWA Project R05 IAP Funded Project Case Study: New Britain Bus Pads Precast Concrete Pavement Demonstration Project</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1440491</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The production and use of precast concrete pavement (PCP) has come a long way over the last 15 years. The technology is gaining wider acceptance in the U.S. for rapid repair and rehabilitation of concrete pavements as well as for heavily trafficked asphalt concrete pavements and intersections. Several U.S. highway agencies have implemented the PCP technology, and other agencies have constructed demonstration projects. In the U.S., the PCP technology is being used for intermittent repairs (full-depth joint repairs or full panel replacement) and for continuous applications (longer length/wider area rehabilitation) with service life expectations of at least 20 years for intermittent repairs and at least 40 years for continuous applications, without significant future corrective treatment. Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) Project R05 was conducted from 2008 to 2012 to develop technical information and guidelines that would encourage the rapid and successful adoption of PCP technology. In 2013, the SHRP2 Implementation Assistance Program (IAP) was created to help State highway agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and other interested organizations deploy SHRP2-developed products to deliver more efficient, cost-effective solutions to meet the complex challenges facing transportation agencies. On August 7, 2015, the Federal Highway Administration—in partnership with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials—announced the selection of 21 transportation agencies receiving implementation and technical assistance awards as part of Round 6 of the SHRP2 IAP. The Connecticut Department of Transportation, one of the agencies selected as a lead adopter of Project R05 technology, received an award of $150,000 to help offset the cost of constructing a PCP project. Connecticut also received user-incentive funds, in the amount of $75,000, for the development of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) related technology transfer activities leading to agency-wide adoption of PCP technology. This case study report provides details of the 2016 PCP use for rehabilitation of two distressed asphalt concrete bus pads along a section of the busway of CTfastrak, a bus rapid transit system in New Britain, Connecticut.]]></description>

      <title>System Requirement Specification for the I-15 Integrated Corridor Management System (ICMS) in San Diego, California</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/884305</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This document presents a System Requirement Specification for an Integrated Corridor Management System (ICMS) in the I-15 Corridor in San Diego, California. The ICMS will consist of two major subsystems: the existing Intermodal Transportation Management Subsystem and a new, as-yet-undeveloped subsystem to be known as the Decision Support Subsystem. In addition, the ICMS will include organic functions such as Collect and Process Data, Access/Store Historical Data, System Management, and Lifecycle Support. Several existing and planned regional systems will be connected with the ICMS – some of these will be upgrades to Intermodal Transportation Management System (IMTMS), some will be new systems. Section 2 provides an overview description of the I-15 ICMS , which includes the ICMS Context, ICMS Description, ICMS User Characteristics, System Constraints and Assumptions, and Dependencies. Section 3 includes a requirements framework, definitions of the I-15 ICMS components and key terms, action verb description, user needs developed in the I-15 Concept of Operations, an overview “mind map” of the ICMS requirements, and an indexed listing of the system requirements organized according to the ICMS's 17 functional areas. Appendix A provides Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations. Appendix B provides Requirements Management Metadata (for future requirements management activity). Appendix C includes U.S. Department of Transportation Comments on the Draft System Requirements Specification for the San Diego ICM Pioneer Site with SANDAG Responses.]]></description>

      <title>FUNDING ANALYSIS FOR LONG TERM PLANNING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/661583</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In existence since 1956, the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is the source of nearly all Federal highway funding and roughly four-fifths of all Federal transit funding.  The HTF is integral to the long-term transportation planning of all 50 States. However, recent Congressional Budget Office forecasts show that at the current baselines (i.e., spending at currently enacted levels with adjustments for inflation within the context of current tax policies), the Highway Account of the HTF would be depleted by 2006 and the Mass Transit Account would fall to $0 three years later.  These projections have been made in the midst of discussions regarding the reauthorization for surface transportation and the looming national needs in transportation that require an estimated average annual investment from all levels of government of between $90.7 billion and $110.9 billion just to maintain the system and between $127.5 billion and $169.5 billion to improve it.  Recognizing that its current weakness has been its historic strength, Section I outlines projected transportation needs and provides a historical background of the HTF as well as an understanding of the mechanisms by which it collects revenues and provides funding to the States.  It also briefly touches on the importance of the HTF to New York in particular.  However, regardless of the specific funding formulas that provide more or less funding in a given year to a specific State, transportation needs will remain unmet in all States if HTF revenue streams shrink.  Thus, the focus for the remainder of the report is on the HTF revenue base specifically.]]></description>

      <title>INTRODUCTION TO TRANSIT WORKSHOP BOOKLET</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/538274</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report documents a training program of instructions designed to assist federal, state, and local transportation employees in developing managerial, technical, and professional skills required to plan, design, construct, operate, maintain, and manage all facets of transit industry activities, today and in the future.  The report introduces transit by presenting a history of transit terms of four eras at the FTA, including information on the current and future direction of FTA programs. The other topics covered include: transit functions; transit service area and route characteristics; transit service goals, objectives, measures and standards; and a profile of Section 15 National Transit Database.  Two case studies are included in this report.  Included are instructions on how to develop and apply performance measures and standards to measure the attainment of the goals and objectives set forth for the training program which is available to employees of the transit industry, and reflects FTA's ongoing commitment to building a quality transit workforce.]]></description>

      <title>NEW FUTURE FOR THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION SECTION 15 PROGRAM (WITH DISCUSSION)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/370842</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The results of an extensive evaluation conducted by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) into the future of the Section 15 Uniform System of Accounts and Records and Reporting System are reported.  On the basis of this evaluation, FTA will implement major structural and procedural changes to reduce the burden of reporting and improve the value of the data for analysis.  The structural changes to the Section 15 program that are to be made through the rulemaking process are discussed.  FTA published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that identified alternative changes and related issues and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that described FTA's proposed changes.  From public comments, FTA will publish a rule to implement major changes.  Because rulemaking is under way, the progress through the NPRM stage is the focus of the discussion.  FTA applied a benefit-cost approach to consider trade-offs between the usefulness of the data base and the burden of reporting.  FTA considered fundamental objectives of the program and its strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of 14 years of data base production.  The major structural changes proposed to reduce the burden of reporting include replacing the current three voluntary and one required report levels with a simplified structure; reducing voluntary financial details by over half; replacing the balance sheet with sources and uses of capital; and raising the threshold for complete reports on contract service from 50 to 100 or more vehicles.  To ease reporting and data access, FTA will improve program operations through computerized reporting, new reports on national trends and operators' performance, and more accessible computerized data.]]></description>

      <title>REEVALUATION OF THE STATEWIDE TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL. TECHNICAL PAPER NUMBER 121</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/268318</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program was established by Chapter 42-11 of the General Laws as the central planning agency for the state government.  The work of the Program is guided by the State Planning Council--comprised of state, local, and public representatives and federal and other advisors.  The Program objectives are to plan for the physical, economic, and social development of the state; to coordinate the activities of governmental agencies and private individuals and groups within this framework; and to provide planning assistance to the Governor, the General Assembly, the agencies of state government and smaller communities.  The Program prepares and maintains strategic plans and the State Guide Plan as the principle means of accomplishing these objectives. This report documents the methodology and results of a comprehensive reevaluation of the state's travel demand model.  The model estimates present and future travel on the highway and transit networks.  The purpose of this project was to restructure the model to make it less cumbersome and more versatile for carrying out policy analysis.  Changes were made in every phase of the modeling process--network building, trip generation, trip distribution, modal split, and trip assignment.  One of the most important tasks of the model reevaluation study was to develop a new modal share procedure that would be policy-responsive (i.e., capable of analyzing transit service options.  A logit model was finally developed that estimated transit trips in the urban area to within 8 percent accuracy.  (The model was less accurate for longer-distance bus routes).  The final product of this study was the creation of a new 1980 base year model.]]></description>
