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. Keywords integration, transit, planning, finance, public private partnership 1. Introduction 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.

  • Land Transport
    Barcelona Treball Land transport Sector Report 2013 With the collaboration of: Associació de Prevenció d’Accidents de Trànsit Co-financed by: The 10 keys to understanding the sector Growing commuting needs, globalisation of trade, environmental awareness and the increasing cost of fossil fuels create a scenario for change as well as good prospects for the land transport sector. The sector Land transport encompasses long-distance, urban and international carriage of goods and people by rail and road. Main areas of activity The land transport sector includes rail and road transport of people and road and rail freight. Trends In terms of the movement of people, public transport will be boosted mainly due to technological and infrastructure improvements that are being introduced combined with its critical role in sustainable mobility. As for freight, globalisation of trade and the implementation of efficient inventory management systems are crucial to the evolution of the sector in the near future. Economic importance The land transport sector, according to the Annual Survey of Services INE, had in 2010 a turnover of €45.593 million, representing 11,3% of the turnover of the whole services sector in Spain. In Catalonia, the land transport sector has a considerable economic weight, and it is one of its the most important productive sectors; in fact, business volume is €9.954 million, representing 21,8 % of the turnover of the sector in Spain and 43,8% of the turnover of the transport industry (land, maritime, air, postal activities and storage) in Catalonia. Regarding the volume of tons of freight moved by land transport in Catalonia by area of activity, rail transport increases its prominence between 2010 and 2011 (22% increase in the volume of tonnes moved), while road transport down 7% between these two years.
