LACCEI Paper
Fourth LACCEI International Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology (LACCET’2006) “Breaking Frontiers and Barriers in Engineering: Education, Research and Practice” 21-23 June 2006, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. 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. -

Illinois Clean Energy Supply Chain: Good for Manufacturing Jobs, Good for Economic Growth and Good for Our Environment Illinois’ Clean Energy Supply Chain
2017 Update Illinois Clean Energy Supply Chain: Good for Manufacturing Jobs, Good for Economic Growth and Good for Our Environment Illinois’ Clean Energy Supply Chain Report Findings At-A-Glance: The Environmental Law & Policy Center identified more than450 companies in Illinois that are engaged in the clean energy industry supply chain at 523 unique locations: 290+ Illinois companies are 200+ Illinois companies are engaged in the solar energy engaged in the wind energy industry supply chain industry supply chain 75+ Illinois companies 130+ Illinois companies are are engaged in the engaged in the geothermal energy storage industry energy industry supply chain supply chain Illinois’ clean energy businesses play a wide range of roles in the supply chain including: 110+ Manufacturers that build or assemble clean energy equipment or key components for solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy and/or energy storage. 125+ Developers/Designers that initiate, design or coordinate clean energy projects, including architectural and engineering design and technical consultants. 180+ Contractors/Installers that install, maintain or repair clean energy equipment and physical systems. 130+ Professional Services/Other that provide essential professional services to support clean energy deployment, including finance, legal, insurance, tax, communications and marketing; also includes alternative retail electric suppliers. Smart policies, technological innovations and declining costs have accelerated Illinois’ robust clean energy economy. To ensure continued growth in the clean energy sector, Illinois should: 1. Successfully implement the updated Renewable Portfolio Standard to promote new in-state wind and solar energy development. 2. Modernize Illinois’ electricity distribution grid, including new ways to better recognize the multiple values of clean distributed energy resources. -
