Private Sector Involvement in Urban Transportation: Case Studies

摘要

The report contains the case studies that were the basis for the booklet titled Private Sector Involvement in Urban Transportation (December 1986). These six case studies cover the highway and transit modes and represent all major groups of private sector participants, including local businesses and community groups, major developers and transit service providers. As a group they constitute a representative sample of the ways in which the public and private sectors can work together to plan and implement highway and transit systems. Each case highlights particular opportunities and problems. Three cases examined the private sector involvement in the planning process. These consisted of regional mobility planning efforts in Chicago's northern suburbs; a city-wide effort to address Cleveland's deteriorating infrastructure; and a neighborhood transportation management plan for Dallas. Two experiences with private sector involvement in transit service provision were studied in Chicago and Los Angeles. Finally, Los Angeles' newly adopted development fee ordinance was reviewed.
