Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects: Lessons Learned and its Applications Ildefonso Burgos-Gil, PE, MCE General Manager for Mass Transit Development, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, San Juan, PR, USA, [email protected] Abstract The International Transit Studies Program (ITSP) conducts two study missions each year to provide transit managers from across the United States the opportunity to examine public transportation practices in other countries and regions, with the goal of encouraging innovation domestically. The program is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), funded by the Federal Transit Administration, and managed by the Eno Transportation Foundation. The subject for the 2005 Fall Study Mission was Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects. The mission studied systems in Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. As a participant, the author had the opportunity to meet with the managers for the different systems and learn and document the experience. This paper presents a more detailed insight on the author’s assigned studied systems in Barcelona, the way it has been integrated to become an effective transit system, its financial model, the lessons learned and its possible applications in Puerto Rico and elsewhere.

  • Connecting the Dots: Efficient Preparation of Last Calls
    Connecting the dots: efficient preparation of last calls 21 – 22 February 2019 Connecting the dots: efficient preparation of last calls Radisson Blu Hotel, Madrid Prado Madrid, Spain Connecting the dots: efficient preparation of last calls 21 – 22 February 2019 Madrid, Spain Outline As Interreg programmes enter the final phase of the programme cycle, the 2019 performance review is an important opportunity to check whether programmes are achieving their planned results in terms of financial absorption and key implementation steps. Gaps in some intervention areas might stand next to overachievement in other fields. This will open a strategic debate in many programmes: How can future calls for proposals contribute to the achievement of programmes’ results? What are key aspects to be considered when planning, preparing and launching last calls? What can be an efficient and effective ways for programmes to use last calls to narrow respectively close the gap between the expected and actually attained outputs? What could be leading aspects when formulating the call requirements such as capitalisation or attracting new groups of applicants or spearheading into new ideas for post-2020 etc.? We would like to discuss all these aspects with you and we will offer, to the extent possible, first-hand experience and insights when it comes to planning last calls. Objectives The core objective of the workshop is the open exchange on experiences, concerns and reflections when considering the preparation of the programme’s last calls. We would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss new approaches and good practices, in order to: prepare your final rounds in an efficient and effective way; and achieve the envisaged targets at priority and programme levels.

  • Automated Metro, Safer and More Efficient
    Automated Metro, safer and more efficient State-of-the-art technology at your service Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona Barcelona, on the road to automation The Barcelona Metro is on the road to automation. The medium- or long-term perspective is for 43% of the TMB network (70 to 160 kilometres) to be automated. The new lines, such as the L9/L10, have been conceived as automated lines and some of the existing ones will be progressively converted. Following L9/10, which was put into operation as an automated line from the outset, L2 will have to be technologically converted and adopt automated operation, as was recently done with L11. This is because, when it is extended to the airport through the Parc Logístic fork, L2 will share part of the infrastructure with L9. The two lines will require compatible trains and systems to operate jointly on the same infrastructure. The benefits of automation TMB’s commitment to automation is consistent 2) More passengers in less time with its desire to provide the best possible service. Automation enables more passengers to The introduction of automated metro systems not be transported in less time using the same only provides more safety, reliability and flexibility infrastructure. Thanks to their sophisticated control while adapting the supply to the demand, it also and monitoring systems, trains can run during peak enables more efficient management of the system times at shorter intervals, under two minutes, with and an increase in the capacity of the networks.

  • Report2007.Pdf
    2007 IN THE MTA Ten years after the creation of the MTA, this 2007 Report contains many elements of enormous importance and individuality that indicate the order of priorities of the Government of the Gene- ralitat and all associated administrative bodies. In the first place, a review of the 2001-2010 Infrastructure Management Plan (IMP), showed the urgent need for the already begun revision and update. The key financial data is that in 2007, there has been a considerable excess, in absolute terms, of the amount of money allo- cated for the whole period of duration of the IMP. More money, but nevertheless, not yet all the improvement work, and some of this pending work still under discussion or modification. This is the case of Metro line 12. The agreement has been to replace it by extensions to some lines and the construction of a new Cornellà-Castelldefels railway line. It is therefore urgent to have a revised IMP that adapts to this new reality. JOAQuim NADAL I FarrEraS The physical translation of the work included in the IMP is now more than evident in the Councillor for Territorial Policy follow-up map. The map is very spectacular and shows the immensity of the process of mo- and Public Works and President of the MTA dernisation, change and adaptation of accesses of the whole public transport network of the metropolitan region. The fact that this enormous volume of work still has few obvious repercus- sions is a problem that must be resolved. This means making the progress of the work and the inconveniences corresponding to its materialisation compatible with the successive enjoyment of the improvements as they are completed and put into practice.

  • Issue No. 19 Winter 2010
    www.iberianrailwayssociety.org Issue No. 19 Winter 2010 he inaugural IRS meeting took place at the Model T Railway Club in London on 22nd February 2006, and was attended by about 20 prospective members from all around the UK. A general discussion took place and introductions, suggestions and proposals were made. At this meeting a small committee was voted on and tasked with setting up the Society on a formal basis. The Committee members are: Chairman David Stevenson Secretary Charles Phillips Journal Editor Michael Guerra Treasurer & Membership Secretary Tony Bowles Publicity & Exhibitions post vacant THE BASICS The remit of the Society is to stimulate interest in and disseminate information about railways on the Iberian Peninsular and the Balearic Islands. It was felt at this time that extending this remit to Spanish and Portuguese speaking areas of the world would be too ambitious. It is proposed that a Society Journal be published four times a year and that this would be the main conduit between members. Local meetings and branches were also to be established wherever possible to encourage membership from the widest possible area. A fledgling library could be made available to members as time went on. Consideration would be given to organising trips from the UK, both formal and informal, as a way of enabling members to meet in a very convivial atmosphere and whilst indulging their passion for rail travel! MEMBERSHIP Membership was to be open to all and would entitle the member to receipt of the magazine, use of the Societies’ facilities and attendance and voting rights at an Annual General Meeting.
