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. -

Research Institute of Applied Economics Working Paper 2018/23 1/25 pág. “When politics and lobbyism combine to promote white elephants by using PPPs” Albalate D, Bel G & Gragera A 4 WEBSITE: www.ub.edu/irea/ • CONTACT: [email protected] The Research Institute of Applied Economics (IREA) in Barcelona was founded in 2005, as a research institute in applied economics. Three consolidated research groups make up the institute: AQR, RISK and GiM, and a large number of members are involved in the Institute. IREA focuses on four priority lines of investigation: (i) the quantitative study of regional and urban economic activity and analysis of regional and local economic policies, (ii) study of public economic activity in markets, particularly in the fields of empirical evaluation of privatization, the regulation and competition in the markets of public services using state of industrial economy, (iii) risk analysis in finance and insurance, and (iv) the development of micro and macro econometrics applied for the analysis of economic activity, particularly for quantitative evaluation of public policies. IREA Working Papers often represent preliminary work and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. For that reason, IREA Working Papers may not be reproduced or distributed without the written consent of the author. A revised version may be available directly from the author. Any opinions expressed here are those of the author(s) and not those of IREA. Research published in this series may include views on policy, but the institute itself takes no institutional policy positions. -

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. -

Olympic Transportation Planning: the Legacies of Barcelona and Beijing
OLYMPIC TRANSPORTATION PLANNING: THE LEGACIES OF BARCELONA AND BEIJING Doneliza Joaquin Submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirement for the degree Master of Science in Urban Planning Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2012 INTRODUCTION Being selected as a host city for sport mega-events, such as the Olympics and the World Cup, is both a gift and a burden. Host cities are thrust into the international spotlight and must provide the stadiums, housing, transportation infrastructure and management, and crowd management needed for the games. To adequately supply transportation for the movement of millions of athletes, spectators, media, officials, workers, and volunteers; between venues, housing, and the airport; mega-events require the host city to implement a strategic transportation plan with a strict deadline. The transportation infrastructure built and policies implemented for these mega-events are an integral part of the games that can alter a city’s transportation network and leave a lasting legacy. Potential host cities are only required by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to demonstrate their ability to provide a transportation plan that can efficiently support movement during the Olympic Games. Nowhere in a city’s Olympic bid must it explain how transportation built or policies implemented will be used after the Olympics has ended. In competition with other cities to win a bid, potential host cities may drastically propose to alter their transportation networks to attract the IOC. Mega-events provide an opportunity for a host city to make major investments in infrastructure development. These opportunities can by catalytic, compressing what was already planned on being built from taking decades to implementing it in a few years, or divergent, developing infrastructure specifically designed for purposes of the mega-event that would not have otherwise been built (Kassens 2009). -
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. Automation enables more passengers to The introduction of automated metro systems not be transported in less time using the same only provides more safety, reliability and flexibility infrastructure. Thanks to their sophisticated control while adapting the supply to the demand, it also and monitoring systems, trains can run during peak enables more efficient management of the system times at shorter intervals, under two minutes, with and an increase in the capacity of the networks.
