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.

It is also a partnership platform between companies and administrations from all over the world where they can further explore the dynamics of public-private partnerships, create guides to good practices and standards and design solutions to the issues facing cities. The center is led by IESE Business School and is part of the United Nations’ International Centre of Excellence on PPPs program. It has the support and sponsorship of Barcelona City Hall and other public administrations and private companies. This document was prepared by the Public-Private-Sector Research Center as a document of interest for the study of public private partnerships rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.

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.

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.

Planning System of Metro Networks. Comparison Between Copenhagen and Barcelona Jordi Frigola Almar 57
Planning system of metro networks. Comparison between Copenhagen and Barcelona 3. The Barcelona’s metro 3.1. Introduction Barcelona, unlike Copenhagen, has a big metro network for more than 80 years. This metro, together with suburban railways, bus service and the new tram provides Barcelona with a great public transport network to move through the Metropolitan region. However, the increase of population, work places and the development of private transport need to offer a better public service, with better connections between different transport modes to compete directly with the private transport, such as cars and motorbikes. For that reason, in 1997, the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM) was created in order to plan the public transport infrastructures in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. Aside from that, ATM acts as a mediator between the public Administrative and the different operators that take part in the public transport. Hence, ATM created the Infrastructure Master Plan for public transport 2001-2010 (PDI), which basically describes the development of the public transport in the Barcelona Metropolitan Region within the next years. That means the improvement of the actual network, enlarging the existing lines, putting new rolling stock, etc, or creating new ones to fulfil the demand. But also ATM is responsible to plan and coordinate the services, define an integration fare system and manage the mobility. One of the most important infrastructure within the PDI and improvement in the public transport will be the new metro line, L9, the largest in Europe, which will connect the Barcelona’s airport with L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, the northern part of Barcelona, Santa Coloma de Gramenet and Badalona, as well as The Zona Franca, which is the largest industrial area in Spain.

Barcelona's Story
Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: Barcelona’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from Barcelona Case Study Interviews – January 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in Barcelona. These notes are based upon 12 meetings between 4th and 7th April 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece. Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB). However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TMB (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TMB themselves and those expressed about
