Networking Transportation Networking Transportation April 2017 CONNECTIONS G R E A TER PHIL A D ELPHI A E N G A GE, C OLL A B O R A T E , ENV I S ION The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is dedicated to uniting the region’s elected officials, planning professionals, and the public with a common vision of making a great region even greater. Shaping the way we live, work, and play, DVRPC builds consensus on improving transportation, promoting smart growth, protecting the environment, and enhancing the economy. We serve a diverse region of nine counties: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer in New Jersey. DVRPC is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Greater Philadelphia Region — leading the way to a better future. The symbol in our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for the findings and conclusions herein, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice, and related nondiscrimination statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.

  • Consolidated Annual Financial Statements
    BARLOWORLD LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 Group Finance Director’s Review Financial performance for the year ended 30 September 2020 Group revenue for the year decreased by 17% to R49.7 billion (2019: R60.2 billion). Equipment Southern Africa’s revenue declined by 14% against the prior year but strong against the COVID-19 impact forecast resulting largely from good mining machine sales and resilient aftermarket activity levels. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical challenges Equipment Eurasia revenue increased by 22% benefiting from strong levels of mining activity, particularly in the gold sector. Equipment Eurasia represents our combined Russian and Mongolian Caterpillar operations. Included is one month’s trading results for Barloworld Mongolia that was acquired on 1 September 2020. The Automotive revenue, excluding NMI-DSM which is now equity accounted for, was down 15% in the current year. On a positive note strong used vehicle sales volumes and margins in this segment are being maintained, with cash generation supported by the disposal of properties as well as the right size of the Avis businesses fleet. In Logistics, revenue declined by 27% against the prior year on the back of the contraction of the Transport and Supply Chain Management markets resulting from weaker demand for goods and services. The weakening ZAR resulted in a year to date increase in revenue of R1.3 billion (2.8%) with the bulk of the increase in Equipment Southern Africa and Russia. The EBITDA of R4.8 billion was 25% down (2019: R6.5 billion) with the impact of IFRS 16: Leases for the 2020 financial year, being a favourable R549 million in leasing charges no longer included in EBITDA.

  • Fasten Media. Article
    Austin Now Has a New Option for Ridesharing Austin Now Has a New Option for Ridesharing - Boston’s Fasten Expands Operations to Texas’ Capital Today BOSTON and AUSTIN, Texas (June 1, 2016) – Fasten, the ridesharing service that puts the driver first, today is open for business in Austin, Texas. Starting this morning, riders in Austin can request a ride via the Fasten app, available in both the Android Play and Apple AppStore. Fasten enters Austin (the country’s 11th largest city) following the departures of the two largest national ridesharing providers, both of which were unwilling to comply with City regulations. Fasten has since received approval to operate as a Transportation Network Company (TNC) Operating Authority from the City of Austin. In preparation for this launch, Fasten hosted a two-day driver onboarding event, and to date it has recruited and registered thousands of drivers to join its network. Fasten differentiates itself by charging drivers a flat fee of $0.99 per ride, while other TNCs may take 20-30 percent of each fare. In addition, Fasten continues to welcome new drivers, and those who sign up using the code ATX do not have to pay the per-ride fee for a month. For riders, pricing is more predictable as Fasten does not use surge pricing. Instead, riders can opt for faster service by choosing “boost” to accelerate the arrival of a ride. “Fasten’s launch not only rectifies an inconvenient gap in transportation options in Austin, but gives drivers an extremely fair way to make extra money while allowing the company to illustrate the scale of its operations,” said Kirill Evdakov, co-founder and CEO, Fasten.

  • Issue Brief: Peer-To- Peer Car Sharing
    Peer-to- Peer Car Sharing What is Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing? Peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing refers to sharing privately-owned vehicles, for money, over an internet platform operated by a third-party. It is often referred to as “Airbnb for cars,” highlighting its similarity to other business models in the “sharing economy.” The most prominent P2P car sharing company is Turo, which is available in every state but New York. How does P2P Car Sharing Compare to Traditional Car Rental? Traditional car rental companies say there is no difference between them and P2P car rental companies because they provide the same service — the temporary transfer of a vehicle, without a driver, for money. But car sharing companies say they are not like car rental companies because they do not own cars, set rates, or arrange for delivery. Instead, they say they are technology companies providing platforms to facilitate private transactions and charging fees for that access (see public hearing testimony, Connecticut Senate Bill (SB) 216 (2020)). What is the Issue for Lawmakers? The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) cites promoting innovation, greater consumer choice, and car ownership expense reduction as some of the benefits to P2P car sharing. But this business model is a challenge for states because it often falls into a legal gray area. P2P car sharing companies may not be legally considered car rental companies, and Source: Turo existing state laws related to car rental safety, insurance, and taxation may not neatly apply to the business model. Therefore, states are increasingly considering how P2P car sharing operates within their existing regulatory schemes and deciding whether, and if so how, the business should be regulated.

    2/18/2020 How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE | HOW UBER WON THE RIDESHARE WARS AND WHAT COMES NEXT How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next How Uber won the first phase of the rideshare war and how cabs, competitors, and car companies are battling back. BY ELYSE DUPRE — AUGUST 29, 2016 VIEW GALLERY https://www.dmnews.com/customer-experience/article/13035536/how-uber-won-the-rideshare-wars-and-what-comes-next 1/18 2/18/2020 How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next View Gallery In 2011, two University of Michigan alums Adrian Fortino and Jahan Khanna partnered with venture capitalist Sunil Paul to revolutionize how people got from point A to point B quickly without having to do much. The company was Sidecar, and the idea was simple: “We're going to replace your car with your iPhone,” Fortino explains. Sidecar did not lack competition. Around this time, the taxi industry was experimenting with new ways to make it easier for individuals to summon cars. And entrepreneurs, frustrated with wait times, imagined new ways to hire someone to drive them around. Multiple companies formed to solve this need, including one that is now considered a global powerhouse: Uber. By the time Sidecar went into beta testing in February 2012, Uber, or UberCab as it was originally known when it was founded in 2009, had raised at least $37.5 million at a $330 million post-money valuation, according to VentureBeat. Lyft followed shortly after when it went into beta in mid 2012, boasting more than $7 million in funding, according to TechCrunch's figures.
