Roger Peterson Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science Chair, Graduate Program Committee 1 Why some airport-rail links get built and others do not: the role of institutions, equity and financing by Julia Nickel Submitted to the Department of Political Science On October 12, 2010, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Political Science Abstract The thesis seeks to provide an understanding of reasons for different outcomes of airport ground access projects. Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.

Abstract This report updates prior national research related to the private-for-hire vehicle (PHV) industry. The first section of the report provides an overview of the PHV industry in Texas and the perspectives of transit providers, both within Texas and nationally, on the use of these businesses in operating transit services. The second section of the report contains five Texas case studies where PHV companies are providing demand - responsive, circulator, fixed-route replacement, and medical transportation services in support of public transit operators.

    Environmental Assessment of Three Infill Stations

    This Page Intentionally Left Blank ABSTRACT The Metropolitan Council on behalf of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the lead federal agency, has prepared this Infill Stations Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit Project (the Project) pursuant to 23 CFR 771.130(c). The Project is10.9 miles long (9.7 miles of new alignment, 1.2 miles on shared alignment) and consists of 20 Central Corridor Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations – 15 new stations and five shared with the Hiawatha LRT. A total of three potential infill stations have been identified in the City of St. Paul within the Midway East Project segment between Snelling Avenue and Rice Street. Potential infill station locations are at Hamline Avenue, Victoria Street, and Western Avenue. This Infill Stations EA analyzes the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with the construction of above-grade elements of these three stations. The June 2009 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Project analyzed its social, economic, and environmental impacts, including the construction of below-grade infrastructure for three potential infill stations. Recently, the project sponsors obtained a commitment for local funding to build one above-grade infill station at Hamline Avenue, Victoria Street, or Western Avenue. Consequently, an evaluation of the social, economic, and environmental impacts for the construction of an above-grade station is required in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The above- grade construction of all three infill stations is included in this Infill Stations EA. A public comment period was established for this document. Comments were submitted in writing, via e-mail, or in person at two public hearings held on January 27, 2010 at the Hallie Q.

    Central Corridor FEIS Chapter 5: Economic Effects

    Central Corridor LRT Project Chapter 5 Economic Effects 5.0 ECONOMIC EFFECTS This chapter focuses on the potential economic effects of the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit project and its impact on the local economy. With implementation of the Preferred Alternative, direct, indirect, and induced economic benefits related to the construction and long-term expenditures for operations and maintenance (O&M) of the selected alternative will occur. These effects would be realized to varying degrees throughout the region in terms of increased economic output, earnings, and employment. This chapter also describes the potential effects on station area development and land use and policy decisions aimed at encouraging transit-oriented development (TOD). Section 5.1 provides an overview of the methodology and anticipated effects of the project on the local economy. This section summarizes the anticipated economic impacts from capital operations and maintenance expenditures. Section 5.2 provides an overview of the potential economic effects of the project on commercial and residential development located near transit stations and programs and policies that have been developed to encourage development. This section provides a description of the potential development effects related to the Preferred Alternative. Section 5.3 considers the development effects associated with the implementation of the Preferred Alternative. Final EIS 5-1 June 2009 Central Corridor LRT Project Economic Effects Chapter 5 5.1 Economic Conditions In preparing the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), legislators specifically included language for economic development as a selection criterion for fixed-guideway transit projects. This legislation called for documentation of the degree to which the project would have a positive impact on local economic development as part of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) review process.
