New directions in urban transportation : private/public partnerships
Publication details: Washington DC : U.S. Department of Transportation, 1985Description: 75 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Changing economic, demographic, and fiscal conditions have helped to precipitate a major reappraisal of urban transportation. A growing number of cities, faced with reduced federal dollars and mushrooming operating costs, are questioning the relevance of traditional transportation arrangements and challenging the logic of conventional approaches to service delivery. Emerging from this process is a wealth of innovative ideas that promise to bring about profound changes in the way we think about the organization, financing and delivery of local transportatioon. The end result may be a significant - and in the view of many, a long overdue - restructuring and reform of America's urban public transportation.Changing economic, demographic, and fiscal conditions have helped to precipitate a major reappraisal of urban transportation.
