8th report [session 1999-00]
Author: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Environmental, Transport and Regional Affairs Committee
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780102343007
Category : Local transit
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The government's enthusiasm for light rapid transit projects has fluctuated over recent years. Although the Integrated Transport White Paper made clear that light rail and similar rapid transit schemes had a part to play in providing integrated transport in urban areas, it also notes that the capital cost is high and that the introduction of schemes based on buses could prove more cost-effective. This inquiry examines how light rapid transit projects might help achieve the objectives of the White Paper by investigating systems worldwide, looking at: problems faced during construction and afterwards; what successes have resulted, especially in removing traffic from roads and reducing congestion or restraining growth; and whether it is appropriate to assist the growth of schemes in the UK.

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on U.S. Transportation
Author: Division on Earth and Life Studies
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309185408
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Division on Earth and Life Studies (DELS) have released the pre-publication version of TRB Special Report 290, The Potential Impacts of Climate Change on U.S. Transportation, which explores the consequences of climate change for U.S. transportation infrastructure and operations. The report provides an overview of the scientific consensus on the current and future climate changes of particular relevance to U.S. transportation, including the limits of present scientific understanding as to their precise timing, magnitude, and geographic location; identifies potential impacts on U.S. transportation and adaptation options; and offers recommendations for both research and actions that can be taken to prepare for climate change. The book also summarizes previous work on strategies for reducing transportation-related emissions of carbon dioxide--the primary greenhouse gas--that contribute to climate change. Five commissioned papers used by the committee to help develop the report, a summary of the report, and a National Academies press release associated with the report are available online. DELS, like TRB, is a division of the National Academies, which include the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council.
