5 NCHRP RESEARCH RECENTLY COMPLETED Task 56 - Best Practices in Rural Regional Mobility Case studies of transit services that have been put in place in rural areas to address regional mobility needs Lessons learned from the case studies Checklist that can help to guide future efforts in establishing rural regional routes asp?projectid=3784 Task 63 - DOT Oversight of Facility Projects Guidebook for state DOTs staff and their subrecipients to get organized around a new facility construction project Chapters include: Project organization and responsibilities; Land Acquisition, Acquiring A&E services; and Construction Phase Solicitation and Award Process asp?projectid=3943 (Hint: for this link, when you get to this link, click on guidebook and not unpublished, contractor's final report ) NOTE: Both are unpublished i.e., contractor s deliverable as they were submitted to TRB to close out the contract

6 TCRP RESEARCH OF INTEREST TO STATE DOTS TCRP Synthesis 128: Practices for Evaluating the Economic Impacts and Benefits of Transit (2017) Transit serves multiple purposes: (1) Extends effective capacity of existing road and rail systems (2) Social service for dependent populations (3) Strategic planning tool that affects spatial and economic development of metropolitan areas and rural regions Economic analysis methods/metrics vary based on purpose/outcome. Metrics include: # Economic impact analysis metrics: Effects on jobs, income concepts (including wage, Gross Domestic Product, and business revenue), and land value concepts (prices or rents) Societal benefits: Valuation of cost savings, productivity gains, and willingness to pay for non-money benefits including environmental and quality of life factors Need for guidance for all sized transit agencies to appropriately apply economic impact methods and communicate findings Need for more consistent standards regarding metrics for reporting on economic impact and benefit analysis results, so that results can be understood used across agencies and modes

7 PRACTICES FOR EVALUATING THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS AND BENEFITS OF TRANSIT C ASE STUDIES Case Study Milwaukee San Francisco Atlanta Minneapolis St. Paul Michigan Subject of Evaluation Existing transit system Existing transit system Future transit and real estate scenario Future transit and land-use scenarios Existing transit system (statewide) Transit Type Bus and demand response Bus, light rail, cable car, street car (all existing services) Commuter rail, light rail, streetcar, BRT, bus (prospective) Light rail and bus/ BRT (prospective) Fixed-route bus and demand response Analysis Perspective * Social benefits of availability of transit services, worker income impact, and stakeholder perspectives Social benefits of availability of transit services Economic impacts (including land redevelopment) and financial effects of planned investments Social benefits, economic impacts, and qualitative business perspectives on planned investments Social benefits of availability of transit service; economic impacts of transit O&M expenditures and redirected household cost savings * Social benefits refer to net societal gains typically considered in benefit cost analysis; Economic Impacts include changes in jobs and flow of income within the economy

8 RESEARCH NEEDS? NCHRP will be soliciting new research proposals very soon Probably a July or August deadline Questions? Ideas? What more information? Sharon Edgar, Michigan DOT and Chair, NCHRP Project Panel EdgarS@michigan.gov; NCHRP webpage -
