Feasibility of Implementing a PR-181 Busway in the Trujillo Alto Area An
Feasibility of Implementing a PR-181 Busway in the Trujillo Alto Area An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by John Benigno Eric Gebrian Kevin Reidy Michael Seabrook Submitted to Project Advisors Prof. J. Scott Jiusto Prof. Lauren Mathews Project Liaisons, Autoridad de Carreteras y Transportacion Mr. Gabriel Rodríguez Fernández Mrs. Martha Bravo Colunga Date: May 5, 2005 [email protected] i Executive Summary The metropolitan region of San Juan, Puerto Rico is struggling with the integration of the mass transportation system and the surrounding municipalities. The problem facing San Juan is very complex, ranging from unsafe and inadequate pedestrian ways, to an under-developed mass transit system. These conditions lower the quality of life throughout the region, making it difficult for people to enjoy the area. The municipality of Trujillo Alto is one such area that is facing these problems. The implementation of a dedicated bus lane, or Busway, along the PR-181 corridor of Trujillo Alto is a possible starting point for an overall solution. The goal of this study is to identify issues relevant to the implementation of a Busway along the PR-181 corridor of Trujillo Alto and develop preliminary concepts for its design. Understanding potential issues that could arise with the construction of a Busway, is critical in the planning and design process. These issues impact the physical design of the system, modifications and/or reconstruction of roadways, price of the project, potential ridership, and overall time for completion of project. -

Accordingly, the Oversight Board cannot express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the financial statements or any financial or other information or the internal controls of the Government and the information contained herein.

Special Source Rules Applicable to Certain Gains of Former United States Residents ° 1
Tax Special source rules Residents applicable to certain gains Taxpayers of former United States residents March 22, 2021 Note: All legal references are to applicable sections of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations issued thereunder, unless expressly stated otherwise. One of the appealing aspects of becoming a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico (“BFR-PR”) from a tax perspective lies in the United States federal tax treatment of certain items of income derived by Puerto Rico residents. This article focuses on the federal income tax implications of certain capital gains derived by a new BFR-PR that previously resided in the United States. As a general rule, capital gains on the sale or exchange of personal property by a BFR-PR are excluded from US income tax under §933 and §865(a). However, special rules apply to gains resulting from the sale of certain property owned by the individual before establishing Puerto Rico residency (“Previously Owned Property”) and sold within 10 years of the move. Any individual that falls within the scope of these rules should understand its tax impact and prepare to report gains derived from transactions of Previously Owned Property in the corresponding income tax return. This reading does not pretend to offer an extensive discussion of all questions that may arise in connection to Previously Owned Property and a new BFR-PR. Instead, our intention is to provide some basic guidance on the federal tax implications that the sale of Previously Caroline López, CPA, Esq. Owned Property may trigger to some BFR-PR and provide a general overview of the interplay Tax Manager of these rules with virtual currencies. -
