An inventory of innovative financing techniques for transportation Johnson, Gary T ; Hoel, Lester A
Utgivningsinformation: Washington DC : U.S. Department of Transportation. Office of the Secretary of Transportation, 1985Beskrivning: 48 sÄmnen: Onlineresurser: Abstrakt: A number of innovative financing schemes have recently been developed by state and local transportation agencies which focus on recapturing some of the beneficial impacts from stations and rechanneling them into financial support of the transportation system. As traditional subsidies for transportation decrease, these innovative techniques are becoming increasingly important as a means of meeting local transportation needs. The report which follows is a guide to such techniques. More specifically, it is designed to acquaint transportation planners and other local officials with financing approaches which have been employed in other localities, and to provide them with sufficient understanding of such options as to make preliminary value judgements as to the practicality of alternative approaches for their own jurisdictions. The guide is divided into three major components. The first is a typology of value capture approaches for transportation financing. The second contains a description of each approach or element within the given typology. Finally, a detailed annotated bibliography is provided as a guide for state and local officials desiring additional information.A number of innovative financing schemes have recently been developed by state and local transportation agencies which focus on recapturing some of the beneficial impacts from stations and rechanneling them into financial support of the transportation system.
